Hi lexie and miable!

Thanks for the good luck wishes. I'll report with the result tomorrow evening.

Glad you're well!

Won't be signing in tomorrow cause I don't work on Thursdays but just wanted you to know Jhyesmum that my thoughts will be with you tomorrow and I hope everything works out ok.

thanks flower xx

I'm here and knackered. Yes the bd-ing has just about finished me!!!Unbelievably dh is still raring to go....typical bloke!
Good luck to those of you still bd-ing.
jhyesmum all best wishes for tomorrow

Thanks Butter!

Your bloke is like mine then! Never satisfied. If it was up to him, we would never leave the house and I would have a contsant compaint of cystitis!!

You've got to love em though!!

evening! hope everyone had a good day

I went to doc today after being all emotional last week and he said he'd refer me in June if cycle wasn't max 40 days, hurray! (he also said that last time I didn't cost them any money cause he refered me and I got pg so he's quite happy to do the same again so i relax and hopefully he all happens naturally for us ) so pleased i have a lovely doc so all in all a very day for us and lovely weather too

thoughs and prayers with you too for tomorrow jhyesmum x

Thanks Insy. All we want now is to know and get Mummy better. (i'm nearly 30 and still call her mummy - we're not even posh!)

good news for you today, that's excellent.

I went to the docs about TTC, she sent me for a scan (which they shoved up my fanjo ) All they said at the hospital is that I have my AF so i'm OVing and I have no cysts etc. That was over a year ago!

I think it's my body saying no, because i had an awful time having DS!!

furry are you ok??

doesn't matter how old you get they are always your mummy

what happened with DS? bad pg or birth? don't want to worry you but i though having af didn't ness mean you were oving?? i can offically say not having af doesn't mean you're not oving so i figured it could be the other way round too?

ps furry posted on April thread earlier today so know she's lurking x

PG was wonderful. No probs apart from I was sooooooooo Huge!!

Had a 20 hour labour then an emergency CS, that then got infected!!!!

I think i'll give myself the summer to TTC and then I might visit the Docs again. The thing is, I get so embarrassed about talking about things like that with a Doc - don't know why because I have the filthiest mind going!

i thought i'd get embarassed especially since doc is only mid thirties and good looking but after childbirth i don't think i care anymore

infection sounds nasy - i had stitches with ds and they went nasty (cause i was too embarassed to show midwife - was at the point i'd had enough of everyone peering at my bits) still not right 'cosmetically' down there (as doc put it when i had my smear done recently) oh well thats my modelling career over then (he got very flustered when said that! very funny!)

talking about ttc shouldn't be too bad cause you only have to give him facts of length of time trying to start with... def worth talking to him if you can face it

Hello ladies I'm here. Have been trying to convince DD that she is tired and needs to go to bed but at 19 months she knows her own mind and is having none of it

Daddy's entertaining her in the kitchen at the moment so I have peace and quiet for a few minutes at least

yesmum - I really hope the news is good tomorrow, please come and let us know what happens as and when you can as we are all thinking about you.x

insy - Good to see you have such a nice doctor, fingers crossed you get pg before June and won't need to be referred

Hi everyone else, hope you're all ok.

So are we talking about birth experiences then? yesmum why did you have to have an emergency cs?

What was yours like insy and everyone else too?

X posts with you insy

Hi Furry!

Will post as soon as I can tomorrow. A huge thanks for all the support.

I had to have an emergency CS cos I didn't dilate, however, i think DS's heartbeat started dropping and that why they rushed me in becasue 10 mins previously they said they were going to leave me!

I got an abcess in the wound that pissed out green goo for a week! I had to wear a ST across my belly! So glamorus.

Oh, and I was sick the whole way through my labour! Right from the first one right up until they were sewing me up on the operating table!! DH must love me a lot to still be with me after all that!!

its amazing how you can go through that and want another one

my birth was very good, was really crap at pushing, didn't really know where to push so took me 2.5 hours of pushing and had to be cut - had doctor standing over me telling me i was too tired and now was the time for a c section and dh telling her to f**k off, that ds heart beat was fine and i was swimming training the week before so i was fine - if i'd had the energy at the time i'd have punched both of them but dh was so right and i left hospital after 6 hours cause they were so busy and couldn't find a bed for me (which i was really pleased about)... next time i'd consider a home birth but might be too scarey...

hi furry! yes def got fingers crossed for this month! how are things with you?

You DH sounds just like mine!!

When they cut me they only cut open about an inch, then they put their hands in and ripped me open. My DH says 'for f*cks sake she is alive up here you know! She's not on a butcher's table!' I couldn't have given a rats arse at the time!

I must admit, up to 3 years after having DS I was still not entertaining the idea of another one but, I can look back now and see that maybe i can do things differently. I was laying down from 1cm and they gave me an epidural. i think that if i'd have been up and about he would have come down (eventually). I'd definatly go for a VBAC if I had another one.

You souund like you done really well, I would know where to push either!

don't think dh could have coped with a cs - he stayed strictly at the head end and refused to cut the ubilical cord - his face was a picture when they asked him to look at my bits when i was being stitched, they even asked him if it 'looked right' as i was difficult to stitch - bless him

you're right walking around helps loads - i kept my jeans on right up until the pushing fase - hopefully when we do it again it'll be quicker and we'll know whats going on but tell you what i'll be crapping myself when first contraction hits! thinking why did i want to do this again!

The start of my pregnancy was pretty crap. Had Hyperemisis (servere morning sickness) for the first 5 months and was in hospital twice, a week each time, hooked up on drips and stuff. At seven months found out my Dad had cancer. DD was due on the 18th July, on the 19th the hospital said Dad (he had to be kept in two weeks earlier as was due to have chemo but had a cough so kept him in) had taken a turn for the worse and wasn't going to make it, had contracted phnumonia (sp?) - gave him a couple of days max. No sign of impending labour, all family went to see Dad. Had to make the hardest decision ever whether to go and see him or not. Took the decision not to, which may sound selfish, but didn't want to put my unborn baby at any risk and just didn't know how I would react seeing him. He passed away two days after DD should have been born.

Twelve days overdue and contractions finally start, go to hospital sent home, go back the next day, sent home again, go in the next day (same day I am due to be induced) but sent home until 6pm then told to come back at 6pm to be induced. Monitored when I go back at 6, get told will be examined at 9pm, DH sent home at 11pm, didn't get examined until 6am the next day , turns out I am 4cm, call DH & Mum in, go to labour ward. Tell me to have pethadine rather than epidural, makes me sick and feel like I am on something rotton. Have an epidual only for it to work down one half of my body, can feel a pinching stinging feeling up fanjo (sorry TMI), say catheter isn't in right, am told it's fine and just contractions . Sometime later they break my waters and DD has pooed so all green. Six hours later new midwife, blood in my wee, says catheter not in right . Eventually 10cm dialted - pushing with all my heart but nothing happening, consultant says I need CS, ventouse or foreceps won't work. Taken down to theatre at 10pm with epidural up to max so am finally pain free, shifts have changed and differn't consultant, he wants to try ventouse - gets DD out after 3 attempts. Has her cord wrapped round her leg 8 times and consulaant says I probably would never have been able to push her out as she would have kept bouncing back up

Sorry so long and sorry to you yesmum to say about my Dad. He was unlucky and it wasn't actually the cancer that got him, so if the worst does happen tomorrow, which I pray that it doesn't, then remember there is hope and so much medicine out there. I pray your Mummy will be ok.xxx

X posts with you both. Well done on both of your labours Women are pretty amazing

ooooh furry your poor dad xxxx Don't apologise. I feel sad that your dad didn't see your DD .

What a labour!! TBH though, you just go through it don't you?! We must be bleeding mad!

Men get payback for AF's and giving birth when their prostate goes wrong and they have to have thing's stuck up their arse. Us girls can sit back and smile a bit (as long as it's not serious)

Incey - if my DH had been asked to look at my bits after that, he would have told them to put an extra stitch in!!

That's the hardest thing. He didn't even know that we were ok, when her birthday was, that she had so much hair, how much she weighed. My SIL gave birth in May and there's a few photo's of my Dad holding their DS, albeit he looked very ill, it breaks my heart that I don't have that but am eternally gratful for what I do have. My Mum is amazing and my best friend My inlaws are fab too

I think we are mad but worth it in the end and men do get payback, I don't think I would rather be a man, I love being a girl

Here Here!! I'd much rather have a fanjo and boobies than a pair of testicles in between my legs and something that can stick up at any moment!

I'm so pleased you are close to your mum. I am too with mine. I have so many friends who aren't and i find it really sad. My family is my world.

when I was expecting DS (due feb), my grandad was admitmitted to hosp in the Jan after suffering epileptic fit contantly for two days. He couldn't really talk for a start but would always ask if I had had the baby. Bless him he held on and eventually met his great grandson in the March, he then died 10 days later.

I am so grateful he got to see him, and my nan is convinced he held on.

(((((hugs)))))

jhyesmum - he was just a bit shell shocked

sorry to hear about your dad furry, it is sad he never met dd can't imagine how difficult that was after dd was born

and your amazingly long labour... its like swaping war stories - i think i got off lightly

Hi Girl!

However much this pains me to say it but mum has got cancer. We don't know where it is yet, but she is having a CT scan on monday and she will start chemo on wed.

Thanks for all the support xxxx
