I cant believe they cancelled me twice either! Baby boom in Pembrokeshire and full capacity to blame. My first baby came naturally at 37 weeks and my last 2 were induced at 37 weeks. So im not officially the most pregnant iv ever been. I've been feel like labour has been starting slowly so would love to go naturally today just to go 'HAH MATERNITY WARD'! I fractured my pelvis with my 2nd which is why they book me in for induction to avoid too much weight making the old fracture snap. I faint around 4 times a week when im not pregnant due to my injury but over the last few days im about 4 times a day so im feeling really battered and bruised not to mention being a risk to my kids and unborn baby. Moan, moan, moan!

Phoned my own midwife for a whinge, she's giving me a sweep in a hour...... if i go naturally im having a home birth, my dream. Oh i hope!

Can I ask how you fractured your pelvis? It sounds very scary. Hope the sweep went well. Labour vibes

Was this an ante-natal class in your own hospital or an NCT one? The reason I ask is that I had an epidural when I had my DD 8 years ago, and there was no question of having a catheter in at all, much less for 6 hours after the birth. With a mobile epidural for a vaginal delivery, you are able to get up and walk around, and go to the toilet to empty your bladder when you feel like it. Indeed this is encouraged. I also didn't have a "drip" as such. I had a tube running from my spine to the front of my shoulder, which was taped to my body so I didn't even know it was there, and when the epidural needed topping up, the nurse would come and inject more into the reservoir at my shoulder. You honestly wouldn't have known it was there, were it not for the pain relief.

At the ante-natal class I did (NHS) where they did the same demonstration, the tube running from the spine which is taped to you is called the catheter, it doesn't necessarily mean a bladder one.

Hi mamas, hope you all doing well.

Haven't been on here in ages so have missed loads including some new little bubbas I see so congrats to all the new mums if you are still reading.

I have had a few weeks of feeling poorly picking up various viruses one on top of the other which is why I haven't been around. Thankfully after spending a couple of weeks with my parents getting loads of tlc I am on the mend and now feeling much better.

I had my 21 week scan on Monday which went great. Everything seems to be growing perfectly. Still undecided as to whether to find out the sex so asked for them to right it down and put in an envelope for me. The ob did however say at one point "she" but quickly moved on and nobody dared mention the slip of the tongue.

I am currently excitedly waiting delivery of my hypnobabies home study course. Anybody have any experience of this?

Must dash off now to do the school run.

Can I please call on your experience and whether anyone managed to have a UTI when pg but without the usual symptoms e.g. buring when peeing etc? I have a docs appointment tomorrow about it, as sometimes I am getting pains in the kidney region and after a pee sometimes and occasionally it has been a bit cloudy looking, but no burning like I have had before and the other night I had to go straight after just going etc. Just wondered......thanks

I had a UTI quite early on and didn't know til I got a letter from Docs to go and collect a prescription. It was picked up from a pee sample at a routine mw appointment. It was easily treated with antibiotics.

mrsapple - glad to know it is not just me with the cramps. I imagined a situation where i would announce to my DH that i was pregnant and hand over the positive test and we would start partying:rotfl:

unfortunatley i got stuck at doc screaming and he announced it to DH - not quite as romantic as i had thaught:o

But i am just so grateful to be here:j

how many weeks are you?
