MSE Pregnancy Club 28

I've 3 pairs of flip flops packed - my feet are already swollen due to heat here... So flip flops is all I have to wear for next 7 weeks.

Making an appointment with osteopath to check out my hip, I've to be careful as I had a dislocated hip as a kid and its clicking - not good! That and the pelvis pain. But it'll be nice to get a massage as well, which is my plan for next week.

Ramadan has now been called here so I'm pretty much home bound during the day. Pregnant ladies are exempt but it's still frowned upon to drink water in front of other people (plus it's pretty rude) and I refuse to go to the bathroom in shopping centres to do it. Such a headache as everything is closed really during the day including my yoga classes etc.. It's gonna be a boring 4 weeks!
Got caught in the car earlier for an hour at 45 degrees and I had no water - I'm pretty dehydrated tonight so have been drinking everything! Pretty much another reason to be home bound..

Just adding myself to birth list. Catherine is a week old now and getting on fantastically. She is so content. Feeling a lot better myself to after section and blood loss.

Also echo swelling. I can just about fit in my clothes now due to previous swelling. My legs were massive!

flutterbyuk25

Thanks ladies, I'm really proud of myself over how it turned out. Next step is making new cushion covers for the nursing chair, this will be harder as it will involve sewing and I'm no sewer!

Lemon_Tree

Flutterby love the Ottoman it's beautiful you should be so proud of yourself.

Pigpen, hope you're having baby cuddles at the moment

pigpen

Nope.. And I'm going home again fairly soon too. The dr is furious with the situation but it's out of his hands..

I e not eaten for 28 hours.. I've had 2 drinks in 3 days and am currently on a drip because I'm so dehydrated it's at stupid point now

pigpen

Home again home again jiggety jig

If I don't post any more it is because we are both dead.. a very likely probability unfortunately.

sweetilemon

Hope everything goes ok pig pen, your a strong woman, you'll get through this.

tw1nklestar

perhaps now is the time to open your envelope (if u have not peeked already) i have a feeling you have a little boy needing some of your lovely knitting

pigpen

The baby hasn't moved at all since about 7 last night.. this is utterly unheard of.. i dont think i have stopped crying since about 9 last night.. I've not slept or anything which isnt helping either i am a right old mess .. OH is so stressed he cant stop being sick.. you see how I ended up with PTSD after 2 of the other children?

I really shouldnt be telling any of you any of this should I?? The hospital here is exceptionally crap.. I promise you your experience will be better.

I'll stay away until there is something to report I guess... I'm sorry. ((hugs to everyone))

euronorris

Oh pigpen. I'm sorry you're having such a bad time. I hope it improves soon and your little one arrives quickly for you! Xx

Nothing to report here. Ridiculously hot. Bored. Can't sleep well. Impatient. Trying to spread out chores a bit in order to keep myself busy. I'm not very good at 'resting'.
