Morning fellow insomniacs, I've been awake since 3.30am and couldn't get back to sleep, so I've gotten up and watching 'nothing to declare' on TV lol

My milk came in willows root reflex woke up shall we say she has been feeding at the same boob 20 mins when do I stop her? cheering up my hospital stay at least

Great news Falcon I've been told by several people to let them feed as long as possible from the same boob, so they get the rich hind milk but I'm not an expert by any means x

Sounds like just what you needed to cheer you up Falcon
I agree with Favellio let her carry on as long as she wants, it sounds like she's having a great time!

Why am I still awake?! Will try to go back to sleep before DP starts mooing snoring...

That's fab news falcon. Have the hospital said how long you'll have to stay in for?

Still awake
DH will be getting up for work in an hour, so will attempt to sleep then (so I can have the whole bed to myself )
My god there's some shit on TV at this time in the morning. Thank god for Netflix!!

tough couple of days MoN

moonblues you are right of course. Just had another talk with DH about how he needs to pay more attention when she calls so he can stem the tide make her feel like she's having a proper conversation with him - that's partly the problem: he doesn't engage so she looks for anything to draw him into the discussion. Then, if he's paying more attention, he can put a stop to some of the crazier stuff before it starts.

favelio you need a box set - halfway through the final season of The West Wing which has seen me through some long early mornings in this PG!

Hopefully get a sleep now that's her just finished had a half Oz top up too then latched on and fell asleep, god what have I let myself in for

I'm on the 5th episode of Prison Break, already worked my way through Orange is the New Black. Gotta love Netflix

Not all tonight I hasten to add lol

So glad you can have Willow with you in the hospital falcon, it sounds like she is doing really well. Any more clots? How are you?

Two more weeks of work. Zero motivation bleugh.

SC at 39+0 days and baby can come anytime it pleases now. Had a record 5 wee trips last night, one teddy hunt with DS at 5.30am which he told me after 15 mins searching it was under his pillow and up with DD at 6.30. Think it could be a long day.

Can't remember what else I have read so hope you all well x

Haha oh dear jelly!

Morning ladies sorry to see so many people awake in the night!

Rubbish night here but did get some sleep, just restless and woke DH and DS up sleep talking 4 times think might have to take myself off to the sofa if happens again tonight. bloody anxiety dreams.

falcon so sorry to hear your back in hospital but really great to hear willows feeding!

pseudo glad BP went down a bit, I also had PIH last pregnancy. really hope it stays settled for a while longer this time. x

MoN just wanted to back everyone elses comments about how strong you have been through this whole pregnancy and to trust whatever decision you decide to make. So glad you've got some local support.

38+2 SC.
Need to ask those of you using evening primrose oil are u taking tablets or placing tablets next to cervix...? have been taking tablets but read last night that you could put them inside, not sure if Im quite that desperate yet but just wondered.

falcon sorry you've been admitted, but glad you'll be looked after. Fantastic about milk! Def feed on the one boob for as long as she likes as first it's the thirst quenching milk, followed by the fatty food milk.
flyer so glad you got checked out. My little guy always went mad at the CTG.
badger good luck with monitoring this morning, really hope it goes well and Bp stays down.
clapham was giggling at the chicken comment too, but your loss of control teehee yuk at my jelly belly giggle!
mon tough decisions for you, sending love and
feminits loving the dinosaur plug! How random :D
moon I'm still here, wound pain seems to be getting worse not better, so going to get that checked out later when Dr comes around.

Thanks everyone I'm on my way to monitoring now.
Terrible night with coughing DS, I'm soooooooo tired.
Glad Willow is feeding Falcon and I hope they get you sorted soon x
Hope your wound feels better soon Tarlia, how is DS?

Falcon. Just pm'ed you.
Hope your well. Glad willow had a good bf session.

Can't remember anything else. Better get up. Bet dh hasn't brushed lo teeth

Talking of PMing, I realised I haven't sent Clapham that recipe. I'll get round to it today, I promise!

Morning all - hope you get home today falcon and monitoring goes well pseudo. When are you expecting to be discharged tarlia. Sorry, i have forgotten who was having a c sect today, but good luck!

39 weeks today - still no signs. Just went for a wee and got all excited as some brown stuff on the toilet paper - then realised it was makeup as i had blown my nose on the same bit of tissue .

I am furious will dp this morning. He starts work at 9am, and literally works a 5 min drive away and so leaves at about 8 50. Before i was on mat leave we all left together about 8 - he dropped me off, then DS at childminder, then into work. He now sees it as his divine right to stay in bed until 8 30 every morning, basically the latest he can get up, ready and out on time because 'he has to go to work'. Pisses me off generally as ds is up from 6 30, but neverming. This morning i heard him telling ds to 'go away, daddy needs some sleep before work' at 8 15, and then at 8 25 calling me telling me ds was taking the sweets out of my hospital bag. He was just laying there, watching him, calling me to come and deal with it. Rant over, but i am steaming angry.

Have a good day all

Tarlia - really sorry your wound us still feeling bad, or worse even.... Hopefully it will start to feel better soon x

How is your DS do

Sorry.... Doing?

Home community mw comes tomorrow blood loss slowed bp lowered :)

Haha bowlful you just gave me a morning laugh with the make up on loo roll...

Good Luck with the c section today Jethro looking forward to hearing the news.

Pseudo hope monitoring goes well.

Pinkbuttons I am taking 2x1000mg of evening primrose capsules orally, I couldn't insert them I'm too much of a wuss.

Just cooked a lovely breakfast, craved it yesterday, off to enjoy whole grain toast, poached eggs (runny, I cannot stand to eat anymore hard yolk eggs now) smoked salmon and capers yum!

I'm also craving grapefruit juice and we've run out of grapefruits to juice....I've craved this all the way through, maybe I'm having a girl....

Good luck to everyone who have appointments or are going in to be monitored today!

Can I please vent for a sec? I'm 37+3 today and feel I've coped well with our situation for as long as I have, but had a meltdown last night and cried myself to sleep.

We moved house 4 months ago (stressful enough in itself!) and since we've been in the new house (which I love) we haven't had a 100% reliable working boiler until yesterday, we had a leak upstairs which caused the living room ceiling to fall in and some work needed doing in the bedroom.

DH, the dog and I have 'gone away' for a total of 10 days so everything could be sorted and this weekend just gone was meant to be the last of it. But we came back late last night and the work still wasn't finished. Our stuff is still packed away and now everything is covered in dust.

We (DH, dog and me) had to sleep in the living room last night and will have to do so until next weekend now as landlord can't organise to get everything finished until then.

I know some people cope with worse situations than this when pg, but I've been so optimistic and upbeat about it, until now!

I just dread to think what would happen if the baby made an early appearance.
