IDOB, its reassuring to hear you've had the same, I'm relieved it was due to low blood pressure, not high! They didn't give me any advice, just told me to rest as much as possible. But the things you've mentioned were the things I mentioned to DH as seeming like 'sensible things' to do. The only thing is, the dizzy spells happen when I'm already sitting down!
DS has been really good today, (with the exception of one stonking tantrum) but on the whole, getting better every day. I hope sending him back to nursery FT doesn't undo it, he's been an angel today, rubbing my tummy really gently, fetching his change things (mat, pull-ups, bags etc), getting his shoes, my shoes, my mobile together etc all so I don't have to do too much - bless him, he's not even three yet. That's not even child labour, its toddler labour!
Glad DH was here today to see the tantrum, and also earlier to hear all the whinging. It didn't seem to bother him too much, but it didn't grate on my nerves for the first day or so, two weeks on and its like a badly played violin , although, it is reducing. I told DS to 'give it a rest' at one point and DH frowned and said I sounded like a chav .
And despite sitting in hospital with me for four hours today, when we got home, DS had fallen asleep so I said I'd sit in the car with him for a bit to let him rest while DH went in, took bags in, let the dog out, made sandwiches etc. 20 mins later, he came out to get DS from the car, we go in, I asked if he made sandwiches and he said he had, and he'd eaten them. I said "what about me?" and he said, "oh, didn't realise you'd want to eat too" or words to that effect. I mean, WTF, we've been in hospital from 11.30 to 3.30 or so, we've not eaten in that time, why wouldn't I want to eat.
DS wanted to play on the swing, so DH took him out - I went out and offered to push him for a bit and DH said no, you should be resting and I said, I can't rest, I'll have to tidy as its too much of a mess and DH said 'OK'.... so I came in and tidied, then DS wanted to eat, so I cooked him tea, then I wanted to eat, so I cooked our tea....
So much for getting some rest.
Sorry, major whinge there (again).
37 weeks tomorrow, and on Thurs I've got the consultant appt and scan - so we'll see if the doctor today was right about baby having turned head down. Will be quite pleased if it has, although a bit nervous, had pretty much convinced myself I'd be having an elective and that it might not be so bad after all no pleasing some is there!
I'd better go to bed, its been a long day. (Good luck tomorrow Glask)
Oh and Kay, a belated congrats I believe are in order - well done you!
