Hey girls
Snowwombat ? sounds like you?ll be a very yummy mummy with all of that pampering not long until mat leave now and the baby shower sounds fab! They don?t constant monitor in the UK for thrombophilia either (no reason why they should is there? ) Basically I was able to have a completely normal delivery. They did want me to have a venflon in case it was needed but I refused, stubborn cow that I am. Interesting that you are stopping the Clexane and aspirin at 36 weeks. In the UK I was told to continue with both but not to take them if I thought I was in labour. I then carried on with the Clexane until DS was 6 weeks old. Here they recommend not taking Clexane within 24 hours of going into labour (no crystal ball supplied however) and they recommended stopping the aspirin at 36 weeks but I have continued with that as I was not comfortable stopping. With DS, I injected when I knew I was in early labour but still would not have had a 12 hour window until the birth. Interestingly though, in spite of the Consultant recommending that I have the syntometrine injection for the 3rd stage, my MW with DS recommended against, she felt that it was worse for the uterus to clamp down too fast and retain ?products? and she felt the blood loss was under control so I took her advice. I hope that that is the situation again as the 3rd stage was very straight forward. That?s also interesting that the Hep B given is synthetic with you, I?ll check up on that here I think.
Naat ? you must be so excited about seeing your Mum and showing off your bump! bet you won?t sleep tonight though!! Enjoy all your socialising don?t mention chocolate, Nestle just can?t do what Galaxy or Cadbury?s can and I can get hold of neither how annoying about BT
Dreamy ? I still can?t believe this is baby 8 for you, what a legend you are so pleased to hear your baby has turned take it easy with that painting now!
Littlesarah ? glad you had a successful shop. Exciting for your cousin, keep us posted! hon I don?t think your friend?s request for the phone back is so unreasonable sorry! Have you tried that 2nd hand phone and CD shop in Rose Street opposite the back door to Jenners? You might get a cheap one in there. Or eBay?
Ineedmore ? how lovely to have that space cleared. I have a chest freezer and it?s fab, especially now it is filling up (hope we don?t have any serious power cuts ) I hope to start my herb garden soon, when I don?t know but soon LOL at the bedding gag I have a pineapple sitting here but I am too scared to eat it or drink more RLT until DH improves (still moping about ? on his 3rd book now ) can?t see us ever having sex again at the mo?..!
Silkcushion ? sorry to hear you had a bad night, horlicks before bed tonight for you the weather improved significantly and MIL and I went out for lunch with DS and then for a long walk so that helped my spirits a lot but am now shattered. DH and I had a screaming argument before we went out he is being so useless and I am so sick of it, he is so milking not being well. Having to go to the loo every couple of hours apparently prevents him from attending to a screaming DS when I am elbow deep in bleach cleaning the bathroom I explained to MIL that I am having a hard time being too sympathetic to DH at the moment because he was being so selfish and uncaring before he got ill, it just feels like his behaviour has continued and I have even more to do. Rightly or wrongly, that?s how I feel.
June ? thanks for your supportive words of course it is ok not to want a sweep on your due date or ever even. There are some risks associated with sweeps and they often don?t work so stand your ground and don?t feel bullied. Thanks for reminding me to do my pelvic floor exercises LOL I was a 32E before I had my DS, and I went back to that size after I stopped breastfeeding (well for a few weeks as I then got pg again) but somehow my boobs are different since DS, much softer all over and a lot less ?stuffing? at the top than before!!
Tee ? you sound very glam good game ? I am going to have lashings of peanut butter on toast a very large glass of French champagne, a feta salad and some brie ? well maybe not all on the first day ? imagine the poor baby?s nappy!!
Choccie ? welcome to ?les miserables? have that cold beer; it won?t do either of you any harm. I guess all the anticipation and planning and organising and worrying gets on top of us all from time to time. I feel exactly the way you do about needing DH?s support and not getting it. I told him last night how I was feeling about the hospital and how scared I was and he just looked at me blankly (and bored).
Daisy ? sounds like you have been very productive well done on the garden and
what a fabulous sounding school for DD! How on earth did you manage to do all that in one day and go out? you are a wonder woman! I am sad about Dr B too I have to say, I thought he was fabulous in the beginning would love to meet up when you come down next, let?s make sure we do
Ermintrude ? sorry to hear about your tears, it is a funny old time isn?t it? Have a lovely evening with DH. I was hoping that DH and I would get some well needed time alone before the baby comes but I bet it won?t happen now and as the days go on and he is more and more narky the less I want to spend time with him anyway, I just feel so hurt by his attitude towards me, I really feel like the baby and I don?t mean anything to him it?s our anniversary on 2/6 and I tell you I?ll flip (but won?t be surprised) if he doesn?t even get me a card
