MSE Parents Club Part 11

Kindof.. they could have done a sweep as well.. or rather they should have! 2cm is nothing and it is really common in late pregnancy for the cervix to be opened that far due to the pressure of the baby anyway.. I had 3 weeks of this when having DS1 so I know how horrible it is (except I had a 34 hours labour after all that too). The only reason he decided to come the day he did was I had a wedding I'd been invited to lol.

KOAG I was induced so my experience was totally different, but I'd say call them and let them know you're on your way as soon as you start thinking that they gave you sugar pills instead of cocodamol.

I dont know when to ring back cos they said just to ring when they get stroinger?? so far they have been 5, 8, 2, 3, 5, 4 and 4mins apart

1/2 to 1 cm per hour is pretty normal, especially if you can walk around or rock on your ball in between contractions, so that would mean 2 ish hrs after you were 2 cms.

Can you do stairs at all, my friend had a slow progressing labour and did stair walking in a crab like legs apart knees bent sort of a way which is meant to help. Only go up half a flight tho so if a contraction comes you're not marooned on the stairs

Elliot! you slip out all nice and easy now y'hear? Love from all your MSE aunties in waiting

Thanks :grouphug:

Elle - done

I know i need to report it etc but i really don't have any strength in me to do it. I'll aim to do it this afternoon...

Anyway i'm shutting up about it now. I've gone on long enough about this whole thing, since i was 20w pregnant, in fact.

SugarSpun

Beenie, one call, please. It's a freephone one, and it's to Refuge. They'll take as much of the strain as they can: 0808 2000 247

:mad: He must have nicked my bank card i can't find it anywhere i've turned the whole house upside down. :mad:

It's my new account and i haven't even used it yet, it's never left the house, although i did activate it. Will they send me another one so soon?? Argh.

Soon, Sugar

pigpen

Yes.. but if you have money in the account I suggest to get the card stopped immediately and even if no money has been stolen ring the police!! It is stealing from you and potentially his daughter.. they can find out if an attempt has been made to use the card

Jakesmummy

Morning everyone,

hugs beenie you dont deserve all this, ring the bank asap and get it cancelled, he could be using it online as he will know your billing address ect, and then ring and report him as soon as you're feeling up to it xx

am I the only one without any sort of baby monitor?

I have one for when he's in his own room but would 'never' use a breathing monitor I see them as just adding to my worries.

Beenie PLEASE call someone, I don't care who but refuge/police someone please please please

SugarSpun

Sweetie, if you don't feel up to calling the police or Refuge please stop the card.

Let yesterday be the last of the damage he does to you and your kids.
