MSE Parents Club Part 13

got-it-spend-it

Celebrity Masterchef is making me hungry .

Caz we also have a backpack carrier thing and Henry is a lump. I've never actually carried him in it but apparently it's not too bad.

Susan- I think that sounds like a good, sensible plan and don't see it as antagonistic. I guess what you put in the emergency part depends on how you feel. Do you need an emergency part or would it be better just to brief your doula on your feelings in different emergency situations?

Can't remember if I said earlier - have a lovely meet in Birmingham ladies and babies!

Susan - preference for a spinal or a GA in case of an emergency c-section, I'd also sound them out about their feelings on natural caesarean, in a just in case kind of way - if I ever manage number 2 it would be one of my first questions as I felt so detached from Katie for quite a while. If a caesaren is necessary ask about follow up pain relief morphine was wonderful but it meant I lost Katies first 24 hours, I would have preferred something else.

Thanks for that. Any ideas where one would find information about post op pain relief options? I'd forgotten about natural caesareans although I guess they could only apply if I had to have a planned CS.

Aww I feel bad now I'm sorry. If there's another big meet I will make sure I make that one.

Susan your birth plan sounds great. I'm not sure what to write about emergencies as like you say what happens will very much depend on what is happening IYSWIM.

SORRY - I truly didn't mean to make you sad - one sad person is enough for this thread :rotfl:(I am talking about me btw...)

Plus - there seems to be a mini meet in West Wales next month

EA, your temps look very yo-yo to me...is there something which could be interfering with them? Also maybe I was just different, but my CM would vary at least somewhat, whereas you've marked 'clear' for every single day.

I thought the C was for 'creamy'? Thats what it is on mobile Fertility Friend

It does vary throughout the day, but i would say 70% of the time its creamy, so i mark it down as that.

Not to sure if anything is interfering with them, i take it between 7am-7:20am every day, i always have 3 hours sleep beforehand and my thermometre is under the pillow so i dont have to move much.

:rotfl:I think we should all turn up at that one just to look at the look on Glam's OH's face :rotfl:.


I'm interested in a natural caesarian if I go for an elective next time.

Susan- I had morphine and diclofenac after my c-section and I think I was pretty lucid. I guess it depends on the individual's reaction to the drugs (and I guess the dose).

Sorry I meant creamy not clear! been too long since I used FF, can you tell? :P

Susan, i think i may of missed something. Are you pregnant?

All i remember is you saying your temps are still raised.

Which reminds me, does my chart look a little odd to you? link

It's too early to know for sure but I have been suspiciously nauseous for the last three days (by this point with Alice I'd already actually been sick and wasn't getting much done because of how ill I felt). I've been managing to keep the nausea at bay so far by eating little and often.

My temperature is never as consistent as the early part of yours but doesn't usually fluctuate up and down quite as much as the later part of yours is. Has your sleep been different to usual (e.g. late/early nights/mornings) as that could affect it. I wouldn't say it looks wildly strange but I've only got my own to compare it with.
