Honestly Pink I think once baybee Pink is here she'll realise she's being unrealistic (I assume she doesn't DC?!). On the day she will be far too busy once things kick off to notice whet you're doing!

Yeah no dc...I explained my feeling to Mr last night and, bless, he totally got it. its the idea that at the moment she's always been with me, obviously, got induction tomorrow and the thought of not being near her sends me into a cold chill. The rational part says that I should be able to trust him with her of course but at the moment he's never even held a newborn before. Hoping my sister will come around...she's obviously more stressed about wedding than I realised as well.
I know she's really excited about her, hence why she's phoned every night this week! trouble is i'm doing nothing so I have no chat and it reverts to wedding talk. Tbh at the moment I don't want to speak to anyone really!

I still struggle to be away from Faitlet and she's 18 weeks. After a while of someone else having her I'm like Right, give me my baby back!. Tonight we are going out for dinner while my Dsis babysits. First time since she was born. Partly this is because she's only started going to sleep before 9pm in the last few weeks but also because its hard to leave them. You've grown them for 9 months, they are dependent on you. That's understandable. Problem is your sister is too wrapped up with wedding stuff to see your POV. I would nod and smile, put it to the back of your mind and concentrate on having this baybee! Are you in that nervous/excited zone?

Yeah alternating between bricking it and not quite believing we'll finally get to meet her! ! Also terrifying myself reading a thread on birth stories...I never do anything medically by halves so I get the feeling I'll make a right pigs ear of it all!

Good luck today pinkky! Eek you'll see your baybee soon! 👶 I would prep mr df to remind you to breathe during contractions - I kept forgetting!

Oooh! Good luck Pinkr!

Am on 12 hr shifts this weekend, when all. Want to do is sleep zzzzzzzzzz. I shall keep an eye on the fred to keep my spirits up. You do know we demand minute by minute updates and the breaking news, right?

Eeeeek Pink - induction day
Hope it's a lovely easy shelling peas kind of birth & that your baby girl is here soon.

I am on holiday but keep popping in. Good luck pinkr.

Good luck pink! I'm on the final day of my work placement today - it's been fun but knackering!

Good luck pinkr!

Thanks everyone! I'll do my best to keep updated bit no idea what signal will be like in hospital! Got to go in at 430...eek! !

I am trying to catch-up with everyone's news (i have been a shit PESH so i'm back in PESH School) but I quickly wanted to say GOOD LUCK PINKR. You will have an actual baybee soon . I really hope it all goes well for you today. Meeting your wee bairn (see, I can do Scottish) will be amazing.

This is well exciting ! I think half the time we go through so much, we actually forget that there will be a baybee at the end of all this.

Go, pinkr go

Ah noks was wondering where you were and hoping you were ok! Thanks!

Hope all is going well pinkr, I'm thinking lots of sneeze like thought for you

Hey all! Pessary inserted and told they examine again in 24 hours...feeling a bit crampy but of it didn't work apparently the next step is a balloon catheter. I'm allowed to wander anywhere as long as I get a six hourly check so we snuck off in the car to a local pub for tea...didn't fancy the food here much. Mr df has just gone home and i'm sitting bubbling as I didn't want him to leave. Strange how lonely you feel when left in a place like this! He can come back at 9 tomorrow but i've told him to rest at home for a few hours etc as it's such a long drive etc I want him to keep his energy up!

Was just wondering how you were doing Pink. Hope you get some rest & that things start to work.

Noks!! You ok? Head in the sand still?

Oh pinks you poor poppet. We have just come in from our Saturday night meal and I thought I would pop-in to see if ther was any news (I.e., bambino Pinks) but no.....you're there on your lonesome. That's a bag of shit if ever there was one. I hope the hospital is ok and you're not surrounded by looneys.

frank brill news on your 12 week scan. Did you get some good photos ? I loved my 12 week scan phots as they were so clear. Are you feeling ok ?

jeff naughty mini-jeff for not being in the right position. Any news on that ? Can you have reflexology or acu to help ? Sand is actually very cosy, surprisingly tasty and great for keeping cool on the summer . I had my 20week scan the week before last and everything is fine. I was absolutely bricking it for that as it's such a big one. I am actually allowing myself to look at buggies (what a total head fuck that particular decision is) and nursery furniture which is actually really nice. The nipper is moving about now which is hugely reassuring (until it is kicking the living shite out of me at 4am!). I think I'm now ready for all this preggo lark.....kind of ! Xx

pinkr I popped on to see how you were doing. You know the PESH/BESH/CRESH are here to keep you company, right? I hope it all goes well. You get you meet your actual baybee soon. Blimey. :)

Hello to faif jupiter and dot too

slinks is all ok with you ?

eurooooooooooooooo come on eurochicklet

Having said that, I am now off to bed before you have even posted. Sozzles. I'm a bit knackered. But if I'm up in the night and in the morning I will check in to see how you are doing.

Fanks noks how are you doing?

I am absolutely grand, ta. I will be cheering you on next week pet. I have special glow in the dark tassels which I shall have on all week just for you.

Thanks euro and everyone else! Getting back pain etc so can't see sleep happening anytine! Like period pains I guess! Everyone else still has their partners here although ten was supposed to be kicking out time. I just want to doze as ten is usually bedtime. Noone had spoken to me since six apart from the tea lady! Ah well!

Ooh good luck pink! You realise in this time frame after induction Faithlet had already popped out?! Do you have a tens machine? I found that really helped with the back pain. Try to make friends with other women in there. I just got chatting to the people by me

Luffly to see you Nokkie! So nice that your baybee is wriggling :) I used to shush Faithlet and say Oi it's sleepy time! she'd go loopy when I was on nights and had a cold drink.

We are well thank you. Just been out for dinner actually (hope you enjoyed that meal pink cos its likely to be a while!), first time since Faithlet arrived (she's 19 weeks tomorrow). I had two gins and felt a bit squiffy! Really enjoyed it though and it was nice to chat without a small person demanding attention. Now I feel confident to do it again and venture further afield - we only went to the village - and got longer.

Sinks hope work wasn't too arduous.

Are you being properly monitored pinks ? Are there plenty of health professionals around ?
