Hi Girls
Hope everyone?s doing okay this Sunday.
Usandbump ? how was your birthday yesterday? (belated birthday wishes!! )
And Happy Birthday to Kayzed!!
Chat2Ali ? gosh that?s a coincidence too ? my parents went to Barcelona! They did carry on to other places for a couple of weeks though, so that gave us all a bit of a break. Was fraught when they came back though? At the mo they are visiting relatives for a few days. They will be back here like a shot once there?s any hint of grandchild arriving though (and they ring twice a day to check, so there?s no sneaking one out without telling them!!). V difficult having parents overseas ? seeing them is so much of an ?all or nothing? experience?
Good luck to the breast / bottle feeding ladies, I don?t know much about feeding (though will no doubt be getting a crash course soon!) but it sounds like really challenging, emotional and hard work whatever happens, I?m sure you?re doing a great job.
Lilianna ? hope the antibiotics are working fast and you?re feeling better
Kayzed ? fantastic to see the photo of Roisin, she?s beautiful! Makes it all seem much more real?
Kbaby, Pinkdolly, Seven ? can sympathise about sleep difficulties. Only having choice of 2 positions (right side or left) is annoying. At the moment am using one of those mini bean bags (Cushtie cushions I think they?re called) under my bump which is the comfiest thing I?ve found, before that was just using a small cushion as pillows were too big and hot.
Puddytat ? what a nasty shock. Hope the aches and pains go away soon, you poor thing it sounds very painful.
Had second sweep this morning ? cervix not so posterior now, is softer but still not open enough to be ?swept?, so it has been ?stretched? (to try and open it up a bit I think). Not painful, just uncomfortable, and the cervix bled a bit as a result. Though really seeing some proper blood was actually quite exciting in a weird sort of way after all these days of nothing much else happening. My god this pregnancy business is bizarre, would never have imagined a year ago I?d be sitting typing about my cervix? and posting it on the internet !!! Had some very mild cramps this morning, which have now receded? Vindaloo last night ? bloody useless. Third (and final) sweep on Weds, after that it?s induction if nothing has happened before.
Good luck to all fellow ?waiters? !! Have been trying to choose some ?CDs to birth to? ? had to put in my Adam and the Ants CD as it has ?Stand and Deliver? on it (sorry?). Any other recommendations?
Have a good Sunday everybody. xxx
