Hello all
Gosh i dont post for a couple of days and there are two babies!
Congratulations to IDBL on the birth of Freya, what a beautiful name :-)
And congratulations to Laidback on the birth of Mabel, that was on my list of girls names What a birth story too! If that had been my DH he would have been panicking like nobodies business.
Am glad your nearly there in terms of your maternity leave Dinky, now you can put your feet up albeit temporarily.
Nkweto arent you due today, or is it tomorrow? Good luck with that - sending you good labour vibes
Mamagoose your due on my birthday on Saturday - the 31st is a great day to be born
Monday section ladies, am terribly as ive got to wait till Friday but i am really looking forward to your positive stories and photos, a week doesnt seem like so long but its bloody ages to me! I was interested to read what herb said about not needing such big sanitary towels after the catheter is removed because i bought two 48 packs of mothercare maternity towels (which are like nappies incedently) in anticipation for a really heavy flow, would be great if i could switch to some always within a couple of days. Will also take in some prune juice as wont need to worry about taking insulin anymore after the birth so can have fruit juice again woo hoo!
Had an appointment with my consultant yesterday, she was her usual rottweilery self but i have insisted that she puts me on something else post delivery for BP and i notice in my notes that she has written that i have to go on Labetalol - dunno if you can take that with asthma though - just want to come off it altogether but i suppose will have to see how BP is post delivery. I have my pre op appt this afternoon so will be glad to get that done. I have to go in the night before my section due to the diabetes as they put you on a insulin and glucose drip to stop you getting hypos. I am gutted that i cant spend the night with DH and the girls though and know i wont get a bloody wink of sleep. TBH i will probably be on here moaning and shitting myself silly about the next morning
Everyone is having babies now - and i can hardly believe that we are actually nearly in Fab Feb, I am going to get DH to take me out for a lovely Italian scoff for my B/day on Sat i think, although dont feel like celebrating as am 37 lol. Hope everyone else is managing alright with their aches and pains - will soon be over and everyone will be busy and tired with their newborns - hooray!
