    Good luck BB!

    Congrats WW2BR!

    Had MW on Thurs, all fine, although she forgot to tell me to book for bloods at the last appt so having to go to the hospital this morning to have my 28 wk bloods done. And she measured bump but didn't tell me the measurement or write it down, how annoying!

    Slept from 9-6.30 and woke up 3 times, not too bad. Pain in bum is still bad and got lots to do in town today.

    Jedi, I'm working til 36 weeks exactly. Although the four weeks before I'm only doing 4 days a week. So I have four weeks left of Mon-Fri 9-5, it's absolutely exhausting and I work with 6 blokes and 1 woman who hasn't had kids so they have no idea what its like to be pregnant. They can't seem to understand that I'm going to be tired, eat more, ache, etc. Grr! My replacement starts on 2nd July so we will have a four week transitional period. He's only moving down from one of our other offices though to cover my maternity so he pretty much knows everything anyway. But him being there means I can take my days off and not have to worry about cover. Especially as everyone's starting to go on holiday now as well so we need cover.

    Oh well, best crack on. Have already done a load of washing, vacuumed and cleaned the kitchen. Now to be drained of my blood. Fun!

    Ooo hope it all goes the way you want it to BB, it's the lovely end result that matters though! Sending you regular contractions vibes :)

    Congratulations Mr and Mrs WW2BR! My eldest was 5lb 7 and is now a slightly taller than average, never sits still for a minute 5yr old - I can barely believe she was that tiny once. Looking forward to hearing more info :)

    I'm
    At Uni for another 6 weeks. Quite lucky tho that we have some half days (not a lot) but I was planning on doing some extra placements to look good on my cv. Glutton for punishment. I find at the minute when I have energy I just go mad but when I crash I majorly crash!!
    love you lots like jelly tots :o

    I felt better yesterday, went to the hospital and to mothercare. This morning I've had nothing but palpitations and they make me dizzy. I'm hoping the constultant yesterday was right and that the cardio people give me some pills just to stop me feeling it so that normal life can resume again. It's bloody horrible.

    On a lighter note, baby is clearly unaffected because he appears to be having a rave in my belly which is totally stopping me doing what I should be doing because I can't stop laughing at him.

    Hi everyone ,sorry i haven't been back. I haven't read back either - Reuben and I have had a tough time with 10 days in hospital, super strength antiobiotics, suspected meningitis, he's been under a pediatrician from intensive care....the whole thing has been horrific.

    We are now home and well, and I've had a little time to come to terms with what happened in my labour (which for me is where it all started going wrong). Feelings are really raw at the mo so don't think I'll be returning to this thread as it just reminds me of the build up and that's too hard at the moment.

    What I came back for was to stress to all of you, when you are in labour, please remember YOU are in control. Its YOUR body and YOUR choice. I bitterly regret having a mobile epidural, my midwife did not explain the potential risks for baby. She also told me to lay down for several hours after it, and I just did as I was told - really i wanted to be on my feet but i trusted her judgement.

    I feel my midwife's behaviour and her keenness on the mobile epidural, and then telling me what to do were all instrumental in me needing an emergency c section. I feel that had I stayed on entonox and on my feet (or birthing stool or whatever) then i would have had Reuben naturally by around 6am rather than having the epidural at 3am then lying down, not dilating any further from that point onwards, and having the emergency section at 9:30am.

    When they were putting the epidural in I changed my mind but I felt like I couldn't say no - I'm devastated i didn't have the courage to tell them I didn't want it.

    Please please please listen to your bodies, look to your birth partner for guidance, and above all trust your own instincts. I wish I had had the confidence to do the above, and i just hope this helps someone else to have the birth they want xx
