Isean I intended to mention it to my midwife yesterday but never actually got to see her
so I'm still none the wiser but I'd get it checked with your midwife and just see what she says? It's eased off a bit for me now.
Last two days spent in hospital
went in with cramping on Wednesday, kept in because my heart rate was sky high - my pulse didn't go below 105 once during any of their checks apparently, and was usually over 120 - had a scan yesterday and they think I did way too much on Wednesday, I helped run a physical drama workshop for high school kids, after walking into uni and before going swimming. My scar is really struggling to deal with the stretching, and so is my body itself. They were ready to discharge me, sent me down to the pharmacy with OH to get tablets as they said it'd be quicker than waiting for porters... and then had to keep me in even longer because I could hardly get back up to the ward and as soon as I got back, I was sick. So it's stretching pains, not enough iron, not enough food, my already wrecked bowels not doing what they're meant to, and too much activity.
It's made my decision for me though, because I was talking to one of the doctors who'd asked if any decisions had been made about the birth yet. I am going to push for a section, as soon as they can safely allow it, my notes speak for themselves now in terms of my body not coping with it, and we're not sure it'll cope with the pushing either :( I sat and cried yesterday because some of the women on the ward were being induced and I could hear babies crying down the corridor and I was sat there thinking how I don't want to be pregnant anymore.
