Congratulations Ruby and Hayley! Haven't been able to keep up but after seeing the Facebook thread I had to invest some time this morning reading! (So another day without washing my hair goes by!) super news, wow Hayley, so quick!
Flyer yes I am really thirsty and feel dehydrated no matter how much I drink. Your DP makes me laugh with all his stockpiling!
MoN have you tried the latex free condoms? I think they are called avanti? They are a bit more expensive, I only use them in the two weeks after using thrush cream as that makes normal condoms ineffective. They are meant to be less likely to cause irritations. Not a long term solution for you maybe but a possibility if you decide to wait?
Glad you are doing ok falcon. Hope you are on the mend Tarlia.
Sorry you have had a rubbish time with the house serious stuff. Can you get professional cleaners in to deal with the dust? Not what you want to be dealing with now.
MoN I bought a very thin knee length cotton dressing gown from primark, but it is white which probably isn't ideal. Cost £5 or something. More bought for shoving on when I get out of the birth pool. If it is cold by the time this baby makes an appearance I will bring my big fleecy one in the car, though it doesn't protect my modesty any more!
Yay on the moving placenta textbook. Hopefully it makes the c section more straightforward.
I missed your post umlauf but seems you had a car accident? Are you ok? I can't believe how common this seems to be, a few ladies here have had accidents in pregnancy. I hope all is well.
I don't want an epidural and will probably have the baby in the MLU, hopefully in the pool. Although last night I had a major panic about DH having to leave me outside visiting hours or if they think it will be a while and that really worries me. The last two times I was in hospital (non pregnancy related) and he was sent away I went into meltdown. When he is there I am calm and my pain, blood pressure and temperature were lower. I am seriously considering home birth again which we discounted a few months ago as DH was worried about risks and journey time if something went wrong. Going to discuss with MW on Friday when we discuss birth plan and see in what circumstances husbands are sent home. DH is going to come with me.
Argh in fact it might have to be a no shower at all day today. Have to go to work. Have a good day all!
