Tiny How exciting by this time tommorow you may have met your baby! I hope you manage to get some sleep.

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 30/03/2015 20:49

Good luck tiny can't wait to hear news of DD Flowers

shetland I gave up with gaviscon, I've found rennies really good and they sell them in the 99p store.

little how worrying for you but glad DD is ok.

DS is being really active this evening he hasn't stopped moving for the past hour

Shetland · 30/03/2015 21:44

A friend recommended remigel (sp?) so I've bought some of those today too - not least cos I can't keep carting a bottle of gaviscon around with me!
Tbh gaviscon has worked up until now, but not today.

Exciting tiny Can't wait to hear of a new thread baby. Hope you get a good nights sleep tonight.

Yay for 2cm Smiling Smile

Best of luck with the CS Tiny

Little I've had 3 falls in this pregnancy and they all scared the hell out of me. Good to know that you & baby are ok.

Shetland I've been taking gaviscon double action (pink bottle). It only helps half the time. I'm not paying for it- I get it on prescription. Can't you do the same? Must try remgel though as my heartburn is giving me lots of sleepless nights.

I only have 3 working days left GrinGrinGrin

And I'm off to the hospital this morning to be monitored. Hope that Bunny will be active!

Shetland · 31/03/2015 08:16

The pink one is the one I'm using too - hadn't even thought of getting a prescription!

Good luck with the monitoring!

LittleBairn · 31/03/2015 09:11

A dr can give you a prescription for reflux they can give you stronger versions of Ratadine or sometimes you are given Omeprazole.
Because I'm lactose intolerant I'm given Esomeprazol, its meant to be a strong drug but safe for pregnancy. I take one tablet in the morning and it keeps the reflux under control for the whole day.
The 2 times I've forgotten to take it I vomited in my sleep.

Tiny and London good luck for today.

Congratulations tiny

LittleBairn · 31/03/2015 16:12

Congratulations Tiny!

I think I lost a bit of mucus plug today, I don't feel any different. I hope tomorrow the dr will be able to give me an update.

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 31/03/2015 16:26

I lost my plug 3 weeks ago tiny and I'm still waiting Sad

My back is achy and I'm really tired today but still no sign of beanie.

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 31/03/2015 16:27

Sorry little not tiny, I'm actually losing it now Shock

Shetland · 31/03/2015 16:30

Congratulations tiny Grin Hope you're feeling ok xx

LondonSuperTrooper · 31/03/2015 16:41

Tiny congratulations again Grin

Thanks Shetland & Little. My monitoring went well. They just want to check that Bunny is moving well as I don't feel many movements.

Smiling hope that beanie arrives soon - I'm only 36 weeks but feel really heavy & find it difficult to move/bend etc. I don't envy you at 41+ weeks!

I will find out on Thursday if the consultant will induce me on Monday 6 April Shock

EbwyIsUpTheDuff · 31/03/2015 16:51

congrats, Tiny!

LittleBairn · 31/03/2015 16:59

smiling I actually thought of you when I noticed it thinking best not get too excited. Grin

London glad to hear all is well. Do you feel ready to have a baby by Monday?

I feel like I'm staring at a clock that's on go-slow time. I know I will be knackered once she arrives and regret not enjoying my sleep and rest time but I just want her out and to know she's safe.

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 31/03/2015 18:17

I'm being induced saturday although still arguing over the whole inpatient/outpatient issue, I'm getting really pissed off with the whole thing now

LittleBairn · 31/03/2015 19:02

Grin goodnes it if keeps up this way I might be the last to have a baby. Now that would be ironic!

smiling I can't imagine how frustrated you are having to dealing with them. You have a lot more patience than me I would have lost it big time by now.

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 31/03/2015 19:41

little I'm beginning to feel like everyone is going to have their babies before me.

I can't be bothered to argue anymore, the head midwife who was supposed to call me back hasn't so I'm adding that to my list of complaints.

I'm not happy with the risks involved in going overdue by more than 12 days so I won't be refusing induction, I will go in on Saturday, have the pessary, be monitored for a couple of hours then discharge myself if beanie is still happy and then I will happily go in daily for monitoring or happily let the midwife come out to check on us but unless there is a problem with either me or beanie I am not staying in, the hospital has to many connections to my miscarriage for me to be able to relax and the thought of DP leaving me there makes me panic.

LittleBairn · 31/03/2015 19:59

smiling I can totally understand why you wouldn't want to be there alone, I feel that way about my old hospital. The current one only has good connections but even then I wouldn't want to be there without DH.
That is why I would refuse to stay over night for an induction I worry they would delay calling my DH and its suspected I will labour quickly.

TinyTear · 01/04/2015 06:53

Morning smiling! Let's get some things moving today :-)

Thinking of you smiling, and really hoping this baby makes his own way in the next couple of days for you!

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 01/04/2015 09:29

I've just got off the phone with the matron of midwifery and have a meeting with her at 1.

Still no baby although keep getting sharp pains at the top of my bump and my back aches so fingers crossed something will happen soon

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 01/04/2015 09:31

Oh and tiny what are you worrying about me for, go cuddle your baby woman Grin

Shetland · 01/04/2015 11:39

That would be ironic little Grin

Fingers crossed for some movement soon smiling and I hope the midwife appointment goes how you want it to. A natural labour before Saturday would neatly solve the problem!

tiny How's it going?

I'm just waiting to go in for my midwife appointment and then I have a child free afternoon :)
Lots of twinges and brackston hicks here but far too early to mean anything - still got weeks ahead of me I think. I have packed a bag, washed some clothes and got the cot in the right room though so at least I feel a bit more ready now.
