This is what happens, jynier

Continue uninterrupted....

Morning how nice to find others awake with me. New to this time of the morning! Cot put down epic fail, now sharing bed with 3 month ds who is practicing arm flailing (most important life skill) and frog style leg kicking. Every time I look at him he beams at me as if to say thanks for getting me up to play!

bakingtins - how are you feeling? Surely, you should be in hospital!

cafecito - thank you for your kind post; you've put it in a nutshell but 'forgetting' will never happen! I remember my brother being born and am so sad for him and his family that he was taken so cruelly and so quickly. Believe that he was not treated properly by the NHS initially.

ripsishere - hope that you feel better soon.

Better to brave it out at home, there's nothing they can do. Have actually ended up in hospital previous times but keen to avoid if at all possible.

Welcome tubegirl arm flailing is indeed a important skill. Once learnt it is practiced to become part of the tranture dance.

Would you sniff babys head ( misses head sniffing you cant do it when they are 15 yrs old as you get strange wtf are you doing mum looks >

8bakingtins* - I completely disagree with you; if you were my daughter, you would be in hospital by now!

Take care of yourself and hope that you can get some rest! x

Hi Starsandunicorns, sniffing head now, smells slightly of baby shampoo and is very soft on nose. . Know what you mean dd is 4 and superindependent (except when ill) so no headsniffing to be had there. Someone told me boys more cuddly but don't know if that's an urban myth?
Bakingtins- so sorry am in ignorance as to what MC is. Doesn't sound good :(

Awwe thankyou tubegirl

i dont have ds but my dd2 was a velrco baby/ toddler/ small child.

Decision time - ds has fallen asleep mid flail. Do I attempt another cot put down or do I sleep in his cot (not really) and leave him where he is. side thought - interesting just how much room a baby can take up in bed.

Sounds about right Tubegirl more so when new shoes were brought didnt want to dirty them by putting them on the floor and WALKING.

She was so good at clinging on that i didnt need hold her ( long legs were like superglue to my hips) most of the time she just wanted cuddles.

Though loved her stroking my ears to go to sleep.( but not in tesco when doing the weekly shop)

Babies are programed to sleep star shaped fact.

Now go and get some sleep yourself. We all be here at somepoint tonight

MC = miscarriage

Thanks jynier. Still getting used to mn jargon. Oh that's awful, been there couple of times myself. Much to be said for brave facing and carrying on, it sort of helps to be busy.

Am I the only person on here who thinks that BakingTins should go to hospital? She may have a very heavy bleed or an incomplete mc which could lead to dreadful complications! Good grief, I am lost for words ... !

generally, heavy bleeding = A&E
pain, abdominal or shoulder = A&E

light bleeding = go to EPU as early as you can, or go to GP as early as you can, whilst monitoring it using only pads at home

really depends on individual circumstances and gestation

'expectant management' is often advocated, and usually less stressful for the patient

though of course early medical advice is always necessary- and mynadvice would be, to err on the side of caution and go to hospital.

But yes a lot of people find it better to manage it at home, as long as they are well aware of symptoms and are also monitored medically afterwards to ensure no complications.

^that only applies to early pregnancy though. But yes many people do prefer to manage it at home rather than monitoring in a hospital environment. If possible though, would always be best to get to an EPU as soon as any symptoms arise.

bankingtins hope you are okay x

oh bakingtins I'm so sorry for what is probably happening to you. Are you still there or are you managing to get some rest? Doubtful but I hope you are catching a bit of rest before you have to get up with your toddler.

cafe I'm horrified that your mum would say she wishes you had never been born. I can't imagine anyone could say that to their beloved child I'm so glad you had your grandparents.

I hope our themidwife is getting some sleep.

absolutelylost are you out there tonight? How are things?

wem how was your day in the end? I'm sorry I didn't manage to get back to you this morning; had a sleepy refusnik here. How is your daughter now. Are you both a slumber?

jynier I'm glad you had another burst of respite from your grief. How many grandchildren do you have?

cafe I totally missed the stethoscope debate. How did that happen? Sound like a lovely choice and would be perfect lying proudly against a chocolate brown suit

What happened to your sugar and crap embargo? None of my business but you asked us to remind you.

How's your kitchen floor...sparkling?

rip you are teaching Wyclef Jean and Lauryn Hill? Are they good students? Superstar teacher

Get some antibees down your neck and stop being naughty You can still smoke after all

You can buy them at the garage in Bangkok? Wha?

Morning all - sorry I missed it!!
Baking tins, if you're in early PG you are better at home lovely but if you start to bleed v heavily or severe pain go to A&E. I would still have a chat with EPAU when they open though.

Cafe - so sorry for what you went through. My inner voice is "but you are ONLY a child" ie no rights or valid feelings of your own. There's loads more crap but my story is on Stately Homes if you want to join us for support. I am currently trying to be no contact with my parents although they are pursuing me. I've now blocked their email address & unplugged the landline & don't answer my mobile!!

The reason things have come to a head is that I've stopped allowing people to manipulate & abuse me. I don't need to go away - I live alone with my two young DDs in our little fortress so we're fine

Thank you Kitty & Cafe for calling me "the midwife" - it makes me feel all proud & special!!!

How was the cake everyone? It sounds like Dad fell asleep on the job!!

Hello Rip - sorry about your toothache! I'm a frustrated traveller so love to hear about other places - what's Kuala Lumpar like? And the Fugees - wow are they still together?!!

Jynier - how you feeling now? Yes it is sad so many of us have failed relationships with our parents - unfortunately I have a failed relationship with my 19 yo DS too so feeling a bit of a middle generation failure!! Are you feeling more able to talk now?

Hey Stars - how is your DS? Marmite on toast in the middle of the night? He is a fully fledged member of this thread!!!!

Right - off to sniff babies' heads work!!

at 'fugees being still together. My lot were changed today. I had seven 7-11 year old children being taught science. I was english, but my London accent had a lot confused...
Managed to get to a doctor and now have a course of ABX, I intend to stop taking them on Friday morning ready for the big do...
IMO and experience, you know what do do in the event of a MC. I had lots, the only one I went to hospital for was number 9 which was 22 week. Sorry for your loss baking tins.

ello - just catching up. I lurked a bit last night til 2 ish when decided to bore myself to sleep

re mc - also had numerous. the ones i managed at home with gp support were far less stressful than the hospital variety. just sayin.

Sorry for yours too rips. I can't imagine having to go through that even once let alone time after time
