Due April 2009: Episode 16 - BB's magical cervix dust prevents birthing. But Barbarellys Babies are here !

[SmuttyNuttyTaff]

here, that was close

I think I'm going to hide under the covers and hope the baby crawls out of my like a little Joey crawls out of a mommy kanga...

minush - do they have doulas in France?

I wanted DH there but he did annoy me at times. There were long stretches of time where he was tired and bored and trying to find ways to amuse himself. When I started making up little dances to Doris Day show tunes I lost my rag!

My antenatal class is not until the 14th- it's intensive (one day all day) and the only one they had available until after my birth and that one was only available because someone had cancelled (which is why the MW was supposed to talk to me last week)

I have a text from Nutty:

"Doc thinks poss pre-eclampsia. Got high BP. Blood, protein & white cells in wee again today. She's given me antibiotics for wee infection to rule that out. Got to go back for bloods in morning & reassessment. Am to go to hospital if I get worse tonight. Going to go to bed now."

Bless her.

liking your style bleu, i'm totally with you on the complete denial front. even if it does feels like i have a bowling ball in my knickers , i still don't think i actually believe that this is all going to happen..

LOL at your DH and Doris Day dances Lulu! I'm sure that would distract me from the pain for a moment. Perhaps you could send him round the other labour rooms!

If anyone wants my birth plan you're more than welcome, but it's half completely made up, half stolen borrowed from others.

oooh poor Nutty... Hope it's not pre-eclampsia! Rest well... We're thinking of you darlin'!

give her my love when you text her back springy poor lass xx

Yep, I'm reassuring DH that there'll be no need to see the business end of things

Balls, if he walks out on me in the labour ward, I'll have a LIFETIME of ammunition . Hah, I'm just imagining all the things it could justify!
If he foists the MIL on me though, LO will grow up in a one parent family!

Oh Nutty is poorly again?!? Poor Nutty. I did wonder where she was.

Oh poor nutty. Sending out BP lowering vibes (though not sure what direction to point) .

oh god, nutty's not due until the very end! poor thing. i hope she's ok.

Can't imagine anything worse than MIL as birth partner. Own MIL lovely, and very sadly departed, but were she still here, can't imagine her being the person I wanted to be there. Although preferable to own mother discovering what a foul mouth I can have!

right i'm off to lie down. my head is pounding again and it's starting to make me feel sick.

night!
xx

Oh poor Nutty. Well at least they will have to keep a very close eye on her now. Lets hope she finds some sympathetic people to look after her. Fingers crossed.

LuLu, funny though the Doris Day related behaviour sounds now, I can imaine it grating somewhat at the time!

I'm actually looking in to changing hospitals to one which has a more 'touchy feely' approach to labour, will enquire about birthplans, doulas etc when I go see them

I know - she's really not been lucky at all. She & her LO will be fine, though I'm sure - Nutty's hardly the type to wimp out of anything & I can't imagine that she's capable of producing children who aren't feisty little things. Whatever happens it'll work out okay for them, it's just a shame that it's all so difficult!

What are people having for supper? I need some ideas..though I'm thinking of just ordering a pizza or something because it's so blasted cold downstairs in the kitchen...Though is it mean to make pizza people to come out in such horrible weather?

Poor Nutty, it sounds like she's been in the wars with this pregnancy

My MIL is alright too, but really!! at the birth, ughhhhhhh! My mum has offered to come if DH freaks out, think she's got a fouler mouth than anyone, so no danger of shocking her.

Bleu, I think you are being a bit hormonal if you're worried about pizza delivery people in bad weather

maybe maternal not hormonal

tee hee Bleu - go for the pizza!!

DH is cooking tonight and he's bringing home trout, mash, salad and non-alc beer. yum yum!

Bleu MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Supper
Fall into happy fantasy for while
Lovely, spicy, kebab?????????
I'm dining alone tonight, so I can indulge whatever pregnancy cravings take me. I have a ball of Buffalo Mozzarella in fridge which I think wants me to eat it slathered with olive oil and garlic. Mmmmmmmmmmm
Might have that for starter, then kebab for main (luckily have a great kebab place pretty much next door)
What I'd really like is a good curry, delivered, of course, something creamy and lush with loads of pappadoums and a side of really really garlicky lentils, no decent curry houses round here though

And then, of course, there's . . . . . PUDDING

I'm just making supper for myself and DD. It's very much toddler fair I'm afraid - sausages, new potatoes and brocolli followed by yoghurt.

Pizza sounds divine.

They are fully kitted out with waterproofs Bleu. Wouldn't worry. I think with the way things are at the moment they are probably glad to be working (sorry just listening to depressing tales on Radio 4 of ex-Woolworths employees and their searches for work)
