Bought a good book from Sainsburys Entertainment website the other day (or more accurately 3). I bought a Baby Book (baby's first years record book - based on Guess How Much I Love You? children's book, because DD had that one and its lovely. Not too detailed, but covers all the milestones iyswim), a book for DD called 'My New Baby' talking about how baby is different to her/toddlers etc and a book for me 'The Second Baby Survival Guide'. Haven't read it all yet obviously, but would recommend it for those about to have #2, especially if you were a read-everything-going type of first time Mum.
Had to take my rings off last night for bed, but managed to get them back on this morning. I suppose at 36+wks that's to be expected :(
Not impressed with Community MW team at the mo. I told my MW at 16wks I had considered her suggestion of a HB and was there anything that I needed to do. She gave me a number to call, which I did (eventually) which was meant to give me the chance to attend info sessions, but the people I spoke to knew nothing about it!! Then on Tuesday I reminded my MW about the HB and she said she would organise someone to call and arrange the pack to be delivered and a home visit. I phoned today because I have heard nothing. I appreciate that MMW are busy etc but surely they can appreciate I am 37wks on Monday and I don't want a hospital birth just because they can't get their organisational arse in gear!! They are going to call me back or something, but my MW is on holiday soon and although I don't anticipate baby's arrival in the next few days (and before Monday it would be a hospital job anyway), it would be nice to think I could get the relaxed birth I want. Afterall, DD was born after only 10hrs of contractions (maybe 8 of which were regular) so if these BH are doing anything, and if 2nd labours are usually shorter, I don't want to be trying to get hold of a MW at the last minute iyswim!!!
Detective I am always disappointed with McDonalds breakfasts. They promise so much yet deliver so little.
Tits that is pathetic. I think you need to start getting assertive. You have been kept in with a potentially serious and debilitating headache, you have barely moved for weeks because of the SPD and your mood is very, very low. Plus they should know you have other children to consider. If the NHS has to offer CS on the grounds of Mother's request/mental health issues etc, then surely they should be looking at induction of labour under your circumstance??!!!
Izzy as long as you are not poorly enough to need antibiotics, I think they let you have the jab. They are not live vaccines anyway, so shouldn't make you ill. I have my WC this afternoon.
MM let them look after you! Feel better soon.
My nail technician friend is coming over tonight to give me a mini-manicure so my hands and nails look good for the wedding tomorrow. At least one thing will... [hgrin]
After that epic post, better go... DD was sat next to me playing with play-doh but has got bored, so I had better go before she wrecks the house!!
