Better?

SpringySponge · 10/04/2009 19:45

No Boff, that's not the plan. I'm just beginning to feel a bit silly running in there contracting & then getting sent home again. I wish my waters would just break or something so I'd have a better idea. I suppose I'll phone the hospital & ask what they think. & I'd better warn DH that we may be off out.

& MM, you've taught me everything I know about my cervix xx (Actually, that's more or less true!)

SpringySponge · 10/04/2009 19:46

I'm glad you agree, WFH

& yay for a name! A lovely name, too - you & Boff have impeccable taste 'Devlin' is really unusual, too. I like it

Not as much as Orbit Buttonhole, obviously.

NuttyBlowUpEasterBunny · 10/04/2009 19:46

Juw - now if only that BLT were real and in my hands i would be a happy woman

WFH - yay for Orbit having another name, lovely choice .

OP posts:
JuwEggsm · 10/04/2009 19:47

I learned about a 'strawberry cervix' yesterday whilst reading about Trichomoniasis .

I'm not convinced by your explanation SS.

If you fancy having homespun delivery with your DH on the phone to NHS direct, by all means go ahead

Mind you, it'd be OK - Boff's an old hand!

NuttyBlowUpEasterBunny · 10/04/2009 19:48

Springy - good luck with the call xx

I'm wondering about Lulu. Perhaps she is just busy with the house though.

Ju - I can do graphs if you want. Not sure how I would link though.

NuttyBlowUpEasterBunny · 10/04/2009 19:51

Puzzle - i was thinking that yesterday, she had her welsh worktops delivered on her due date.......

OP posts:
SpringySponge · 10/04/2009 19:51

Yes, I think I know what you're referring to, Ju - even though I didn't come across that term on my reading. Ick.

You might know - the antibiotic I had yesterday, do you think that could've caused my diarrhoea earlier? & potentially stupid BH things? Could they be at all related? Because I don't want to go to hospital if I'm basically just getting side effects of a lot of a drug...

soon2befamilyof4 · 10/04/2009 19:51

Sorry to jump in - will catch up in a bit but just about to bath DD. I have a quick question.

I have just noticed I have spots on my belly, quite a lot. Some look bright red, it looks like it is bleeding almost because of the colour but it isn't. No breaking the skin or even anything raised. The best way I would describe what it looks like is spots of fresh red blood under the skin. Anybody else had this or know what it is? There isn't loads of them, just the odd few spread over my belly? I have been scrubbing the carpets and windows this afternoon if that makes a difference?

Or am I just weird?!

mathshoneybunny27 · 10/04/2009 19:52

So it looks like I'm going to be induced Monday... after all the fond dalliances with my cervix, she is playing hard to get

brettgirl2 · 10/04/2009 19:53

When I had that antibiotic it gave me a vile taste in my mouth and a splitting headache.

NuttyBlowUpEasterBunny · 10/04/2009 19:57

Springy - metronidazole always makes me violently ill within a few hours. i think possibly you would have reacted to it yesterday if that was the case of it being the drug xx

MM - your cervix is a flirt good luck for monday!!

OP posts:
bronze · 10/04/2009 19:58

well springy if you dont want your labour can I have it please. DD is currently having a paddy in her room. Shes been a brat the last few days and I would love a legitimate excuse to get away

brettgirl2 · 10/04/2009 19:59

I also think that if contractions were a possible side effect then it wouldn't be used in pregnancy!

JuwEggsm · 10/04/2009 20:00

Puzzle, I love graphs! Everything can be explained with a good graph!

Springy - the diarrhoea could be the antibiotics, it was a whopping dose! But it does coincide beautifully with the contractions..... Crampy abdo pain also possibly, but would've thought you'd have had some nausea. TBH, guidelines say not to use the one-off big dose in pg, though I don't think that's for any particular evidence-based reason, and can't imagine it would specifically do any harm - but maybe it's because it induces labour!!!!

Seriously - if it was drug sfx, don't think it would be so regular!!! If you get to 3 in 10 mins lasting longer than 1 min each, well, I'd get into that taxi!

NuttyBlowUpEasterBunny · 10/04/2009 20:03
OP posts:
JuwEggsm · 10/04/2009 20:04

Oooh, who was being induced today? I can't remember! How stupid! Who is it? Was it Lou? We must already be well on the way to another baby!

JuwEggsm · 10/04/2009 20:05

Nutty - you didn't complete the course??? I am shocked {bshock] and horrified!!

JuwEggsm · 10/04/2009 20:06

Stupid condom brackets!!! {condom]

Shock !!!

NuttyBlowUpEasterBunny · 10/04/2009 20:07

Juw - i was taken off them!!!! they made me too ill (v bad reaction to them) i got given something different
