Still no dr
This is getting silly!!

SesIsNowCountingdownthedays · 08/05/2009 12:47

The other lady here with me is lovely and 29 weeks with her 2nd. Had been bleeding due to position of placenta but all cleared up now. She's just waiting for dr to come and ok her going home. Someone else is on their way in though so I won't be on my own!

Diege · 08/05/2009 12:50

No way SES!! They're not fasting you as well are they?? Could you ask someone on the desk what's going on? The very least that they can do is to keep you informed .

Well I have been bad mummy supremo today . It is heavy rain here and I just can't bear to go all the way on foot to Jo Jingles and back in it, then onto school...made a pretend phonecall to Jo and he told me that some naughty boys had smashed a window and the rain was coming through so class was not on this week . Sun came out shortly after, so I got the waterproofs out and we were all ready to go, but dd refused to put the trousers on...so I (gratefully) said no trousers no class...She doesn't seem that bothered but still...

SesIsNowCountingdownthedays · 08/05/2009 13:04

LOL at bad mummy supremo

Dr just been!!! Took all of 5 mins for him to say "You're not going home" "it will have to be a CS" "it won't be before Monday"

No suprises but V FRUSTRATING!!

Diege · 08/05/2009 13:18

How annoying SES! At least you are in the right place etc, but what a pain having to stay in over the weekend!! Hope dh spoils you with lots of trashy mags and chocolates. How are you feeling in yourself? Are you having any niggles etc??

SesIsNowCountingdownthedays · 08/05/2009 13:23

Absolutely no BH or anything! Feel fine just getting annoyed with this head pushing out my right hand side and feet tickling my fanjo!!

NatalieJane · 08/05/2009 13:45

Ses really feeling for you, I can remember just how uncomfortable it is, and DS3 was only breech/transverse for a matter of days. And I remember well the waiting for docs/cons/anyone else who fancied a ponder at my fanny! LOL Have you got the doings thing with the telly/internet/phone set up? Saved my sanity that did!

Am on borrowed time, friend due round, am hoping beyond hope the wine doesn't open just yet, we've already said it will be an 'our night' tonight, don't think even I could handle it from now till god knows what time in the morning!

Have also given in and put DS2 to bed, he is taking 2 hours plus to go to sleep at night, so yesterday I thought, bite the bullet, cut out the daytime nap, except he then fell asleep in his dinner last night for all of 10 minutes and still didn't go to sleep for an hour and a half last night (remember I said DH was going to be late? By the time he got back I was ready to climb the walls!) and in amongst the typical paddies he'd been handing out like smarties all afternoon and evening, I decided he needs his day time nap for now!

Ah door bell, must go, Ses, am thinking of you more than I care to admit! Will try and get back at some point, keep stong sweetie xxxxx

lastboxoftampons · 08/05/2009 14:10

Oh, Ses, I'm sorry you have a weekend in the hospital ahead of you, but hopefully you will get some time to relax. No advice, just hugs!!!!!!!!! Make that DH take care of you and family visits in small doses!

SesIsNowCountingdownthedays · 08/05/2009 14:22

Woah!! Have you lot been sending loads of wagon vibes over to East Surrey??!
They've come back and said they'll do CS tomorrow!!
Aaarrgh again!! But in a much more positive way

Diege · 08/05/2009 14:30

Woohoo SES!!! That's great news!!! Just imagine, this time tomorrow mini ses may be here!!!
Hi NAT! Have you started on that wine yet
Hi LBOX! How are things with you?

idreamofbeanie · 08/05/2009 14:31

Hooray Ses, this time tomorrow you will have your baby in your arms ! How exciting . Oh dear, we have guests here for the weekend and I am going to be glued to MN - they'll just have to understand .

How are you feeling?

SesIsNowCountingdownthedays · 08/05/2009 14:37

Excited and nervous
Hope everything goes ok and - this will sound ... I don't know... - but just hope I'm a good mum and cope with it all.
I think I've said before that I've always wanted babies rather than a career but just didn't meet the right guy until 4 yrs ago. It feels like what I've been waiting for for more than a decade is finally happening

OMG my emotions and hormones are rampant already!!

idreamofbeanie · 08/05/2009 15:00

Hey Ses, it might sound a bit cheesy but I think the most important part of being a good parent is actually caring that you are doing a good job and wanting to do the best the can for your LO and you definitely have that in spades. That's what I'm telling myself when I'm worrying about whether I'll be a good mum. I'm sure you will cope brilliantly and the wagon is here for support, advice and rounds of tea with brownies

(okay I can't do advice but a chat over brownies is right up my street ).

lastboxoftampons · 08/05/2009 15:10

Yay, Ses! That's great news! You'll be a Mummy before you know it!!!

I think IDOB is absolutley right! (although I'm another without any kids, so is it all just wishful thinking on our part!?!? ) Can't wait to come on tomorrow to see your announcement!

Hi Diege! And everyone else of course!

I'm fine, but starting to get uncomfortable. I felt really well in the first part of the day yesterday - and now I just feel like a big fat blob, with a backaache! I've been getting 'Whoa, you're really pregnant now' type comments for the past few days too Makes a gal feel all sorts of pretty, don't it?

Anyway, how are YOU? Not long now!

Moosy · 08/05/2009 15:28

Oh wow Ses, what good news!

I bet you can't wait for tomorrow now Did they give you any idea what time of day it would be?

Got lots of trashy mags but no tv except in communal dining room.

Diege · 08/05/2009 15:59

TINKS for more spending. I'm waiting for my 'health in pregnancy' grant to come through so I can buy some more things from French Connection the organic veg place .
SES, you will be a brilliant mum As MOOS says, any indication on time of section?
LBOT big fat blob pretty much sums it up here too .
Right, better go and sort out the screaming from upstairs..

Diege · 08/05/2009 16:01

SES, you'll need to get yourself along to the communal room for your 5.30 channel 5 fix

SesIsNowCountingdownthedays · 08/05/2009 16:09

Err, don't worry it's on sky+

No indication of a time yet. Hopefully they'll tell me when they come and do my bloods.

LBOT - I've had some days where I've felt really fat, awkward and uncomfortable and other days where I've almost forgotten I'm pg! It does come and go a bit but it's all good and means you're making a healthy baby

lardybump · 08/05/2009 16:42

afternoon all just a quick post to say good luck for tomorrow Ses I am so excited for you....

Will be back later after bed time... Crap day here. DS has been so sick I am really fed up of this. His poo is still green because he isn't getting enough food but no one seems to feel it is very important.

Any how I will speek to you all later (well those of you here after 7)

Sorky I was going to shout you lunch as well for the gift you sent us.... If you wont except that then we will get you a present yoru choice lady

Kayzr · 08/05/2009 17:09

Ses, sending loads and loads of good luck for tomorrow!! I can't wait to hear your news.

LB, sorry DS is still ill. It must be horrible!!

I have been f*cking bitten again!!! Also behind my knee again!!!

GYo · 08/05/2009 17:11

Hello!

WOW Ses!! Good luck for tomorrow. Have they told you what time? How exciting that its finally all happening! BTW, how do you write such coherent posts via your iphone.. I always struggle!

LB- sorry for pukey day. I really cant believe the care you are getting. Hope DS is ok.

Hi Nat! Diege, Moosy, LBOT and IDOB.

Lovely holiday snaps LBOT, esp the giraffe pics!

Just back from shopping. Still not enjoying shopping pram combo Feel relieved to get back to car. So annoying when non pram/wheelchair users use the lifts automatic doors etc. Suppose it just takes some getting used to. Guess it will be easier when I am not feeding so often as locaitons to stop and BF are the focus!

Mustnt moan as I know Im fortunate to have time to go out shopping

I did get a wave of Tink/Diege-shopping-vibes and got some lovely items for DD from H&M

Oh and HV weighed the small giraffe this morning and she is now 10lbs 10oz, so gained 8oz since last weigh in, and is now only 2oz of her birth wt. Am thrilled!
