I don't know where to post this and don't know what to do. I'm sitting here crying again with my 5 week old dd2 and just know that the best thing I could do for both of my girls is to get in the car and drive. If dd2 ever goes to sleep that is what I must do. I won't be leaving them alone and it will break my heart but it's what will be best for them. They deserve so much better than the useless failure of a mother they have.

I don't know why I'm posting this. I guess to feel less alone

Always the way, appear to waltz in seconds after arriving! Soon be your turn.

NaturalBaby · 08/01/2013 10:35

are you still waiting - I know that feeling so well! You're nearly there, we're still here for you.
be honest with the GP - don't leave till you've got a prescription or something definite!!

NewYearNewNN · 08/01/2013 10:36

The people going in before you are seeing other staff. Tell receptionist that you're under pressure as baby needs feeding soon, but do not use it as an excuse to wriggle out of seeing GP this morning.

Stay there Pumble, you've gone so far already. Hugs for you allx

Ask the Receptionist how much longer it will be....but please stay.

AndMiffyWentToSleep · 08/01/2013 10:41

Can you ask the receptionist how late they're running? I'm sure it shouldn't be too much longer now...

TanteRose · 08/01/2013 10:43

Don't worry - it will be your turn soon.
Stay strong, Pumble Smile

NewYearNewNN · 08/01/2013 10:43

Oh. It does get slower as the morning goes on in the surgery. But you have to start getting the ball rolling. dd will be ok, you need to start making yourself well again for her.

MrsHelsBels74 · 08/01/2013 10:44

You must stay until you see the GP. You've done so well to get this far, you can do it.

If you don't, I promise I will drive to Bucks & take you myself. Wink

magimedi88 · 08/01/2013 10:45

Hang in there, Pumble - do it for your DDs.

I'll keep checking in for you - sending you a hand hold.

MumVsKids · 08/01/2013 10:45

Whatever you do, wait and see the GP - you have done so well to get as far as you have, don't fall at the final hurdle so to speak, you're already doing something you didn't think you'd be able to do.

I'm hoping that as I'm posting this, you're in speaking I your GP.

spiderlight · 08/01/2013 10:48

Hurry up, Pumble's GP!! I hate waiting to see doctors more than anything so I do sympathise, but I'm also going to sit on you to make sure you stay.

magimedi88 · 08/01/2013 10:52

It's 20 mins since you last posted, Pumble. So I hope you're with the GP now.

NewYearNewNN · 08/01/2013 11:01

I hope you're in there with GP now too.

Just got home. Been given some AD and shes made my appointment on Thursday longer. She was good and I still have both my girls Grin. Feel totally drained and exhausted now. Will post again later. Trying to tell dh about it whilst feeding dd2 and entertaining dd1. Thank you so much for 'waiting' at doctors with me-it really helped me stay.

Really glad you hung on in there, sounds like you were able to talk to GP. Well done Pumble.

MrsHelsBels74 · 08/01/2013 11:27

Good news. The ADs will take a while to kick in but hopefully the fact that you've done something will help you feel more 'in control', it certainly does for me. Which ones have you been given?

Onwards & upwards Grin

intravenouscoffee · 08/01/2013 11:30

That's fantastic. Not surprising that you're exhausted but so brilliant that you stayed. Another huge step forwards. You are doing amazingly (am trying not to sound horribly patronising but may have failed, sorry. Things don't come across written down the way they sound in my head).

magimedi88 · 08/01/2013 11:31

Well done, well done! You've made another giant leap, Pumble.

Am not at all surprised that you feel exhausted - take it as easy as you can.

So pleased your GP was good.

Will catch up later. xx

JuliaFlyte · 08/01/2013 11:37

Well done, onwards and upwards Smile
