Merry Christmas eve to all!

Ah really....I had MW appointment yesterday and baby is feet down...lots of head stands for me this christmas...apparently it's not uncommon at 32 weeks and most turn by 36? Not sure how true that is as it must get more and more squished in there!

MaisieDotes · 24/12/2015 13:59

Happy Christmas everyone! 🎄🎉🎄

Happy Christmas - hope everyone has as peaceful and restful a day as possible!

Merry Christmas Xmas Smile

rufus fingers crossed for baby to grow!

posey at my last check up (Monday) the GP (who was about 20 years old) said baby was lying transverse.... Then when she couldn't find the heartbeat changed to saying the head was up. It wasn't terribly reassuring (but she said baby would flip by 36 wks)

Can anyone tell how their baby is positioned? How?

Pregnancy rant: terrible heart burn, even though I'm on a prescription med (though it helps). When do the babies drop? Breathing is also getting harder = sleep getting harder!

Merry Christmas everyone and baby drop soon vibes headed your way maple

IslaMann · 25/12/2015 12:49

Well, Merry bloody Christmas to me. Had a large PV bleed this morning so have been admitted to hospital for 24hrs for observation. FH fine on the trace but movements a little less vigorous than usual. Can't believe it. (34+1 today)

MaisieDotes · 25/12/2015 13:06

Oh isla

That's crap in the extreme, but thank goodness all is ok.

You have older DC don't you?

IslaMann · 25/12/2015 13:55

Yes DS is 19, and thankfully with his dad today although coming back tonight. DSD is 12 and is with us until tomorrow. DH has text her mum to say she'll need to pick her up (an hour and a quarters journey, but she NEVER does it) in the morning, or else DSD will have to stay for the next few days as he isn't happy to be that far away from me at the moment. No reply as yet.

Merry Christmas everyone!

isla hope everything is ok, sorry you are stuck in hospital today Thanks

NorthernChinchilla · 25/12/2015 15:09

Merry Christmas everyone, hope you've got your collective feet up as much as possible. I'm up North in the glorious flooding/weather although there's allegedly one hour in the next few days it's not going rain so will try to get out.

Isla, so sorry to hear that, glad you're in hospital and being monitored, but such crap timing.

goldmaple · 25/12/2015 17:09

isla I'm glad everything is okay! Still a lot of worry for you though! I hope nothing else exciting happens and you can go home and relax soon.

jellypi3 · 25/12/2015 19:39

isla.hope you are OK x

RattyCatty · 25/12/2015 19:39

Isla Flowers keep us updated x

MaisieDotes · 25/12/2015 19:46

isla Well... people are going to have to get a bit more flexible when the baby comes so this can be a trial run Wink

Hope you're ok and not too bored.

madsaz76 · 25/12/2015 20:14

Well that's me just had a huge pregnancy hormone flinch and storm out. Grrr.

Day started badly as stayed over at sisters and really struggled with sleep then she wanted me up early to open presents.

Then DSS has bought a gift for husband with card which doesn't even have my name on. I've been around 20 years and got a pressie last year - probably just idiot boy stuff but really made me feel unhappy. I don't want a gift but would have been nice to exist. DH tells me I am being oversensitive even though he is still nursing a grudge over last years present off my brother.

Have significant SPD but have been doing ok by managing carefully. Took my ball and some full length body cushions. House full of people who decided the ball was a novelty to play with - if I moved to go to loo someone messing with it.

Pointed out its purpose and explained I needed it a few times - even if sat on a chair the ability to put my legs on I helped a lot as bump high and I can't sit at 90 degrees without reflux and breathing issues.

Culminated in me claiming it back with clearly annijnced plan of going to loo then using it - return to find 15 year old nephew sat on it.

Shouldn't have to beg my family for special measures to stay comfortable at Christmas. Burst into tears. Noone even asked if I was ok so stormed out. Still not even a text or a call.

I get I am probably hormonal but really upset by this - and still in pain. Now having long hot bath and indulging in lots of self pity - sorry for long whiny rant Sad

Merry Christmas all!

isla hope everything is okay Flowers
rufus and madsaz and everyone else going through tricky times, thinking of you!

Rufus200 · 25/12/2015 21:43

Merry Christmas all

isla hope you are ok. madsaz I cried watching startrek yesterday, DH was like WTF. Can't even begin to control my emotions.

I've been really naughty with chocolate and not had a single high reading. Stopped the metformin after only 3 days as was causing bad upset tummy. Still having upset tummy a week later. Think my GD may have temporarily resolved due to weight loss and resting my pancreas (most cats can have their diabetes cured with weight loss and no carbs!) Not going to push it though and will be better with my sugar from now on but was really nice to not miss out today. Have had terrible indigestion for 5hrs+ now.

Had a weird Christmas with DH's family today. Not happy with my mum, she has refused to open my presents I left at her house. I spent a lot of money on tickets that can't be refunded. When I asked why, she bit my head off. I know she is feeling guilty but seriously being horrible to someone on Christmas Day because they dared to give you a gift is just nasty!

madsaz76 · 25/12/2015 21:48

Lots of diabetics cured with low GI diet and weight loss too - but do keep an eye on yourself. It's really hard to cut all the carb out at any time let alone the festive season.

Your mum sounds really odd. I don't think I'd be able to deal with it as well as you sound like you are doing.

I've decided I am doing myself a disservice blaming my hormones - have had people offering me seats on public transport for 2 months now so surely not too demanding to expect my own family to let me sit comfortably.

I'm going to stop blaming myself and let others know when they are not being fair.

NorthernChinchilla · 25/12/2015 22:17

I think hormones are a bit like drink mad - they only emphasise what is already there, they don't make something it isn't.
Your family were being arses to not take more care of you, and especially for not checking up on you.
Sorry yours continues to be off as well rufus...

Hope you're OK Isla
