Apparently another girl but we will know for sure soon I think it's just a combination of sticking out further this time and the funny angle of the previous photo (which I scanned and can't rotate).

Hopefully it's not a boy as we have been calling "her" Krysti for some time now ]]> Wed, 10 Jan 2007 19:44:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3356&PID=100151&title=due-in-january#100151 <![CDATA[Due in January! : Congrats Cherie....!!!! cant wait...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3356&PID=100068&title=due-in-january#100068 Author: Bombshell

I've been inspired by Bombshell (and all the others before) so here's my first bump pic, taken last night so at 39w+2d:



But here's why I feel huge, this is Hannah's bump at 38-39 weeks (slightly wonky tho):



Just wish I had taken a pic of Briona's bump now Oh Hannah was born 7lb 3oz, Briona 8lb 4oz, I reckon I have a mid-8lber this time.

Hi there ladies
Hope you both had a great christmas, I had a great day with my wee nephews 1st christmas, our baby was very spoilt needed a trolley for her presents she not even here imagine next year!!!! I can't believe 5 more days to go if she decides to come on her due date, i've been at the hospital tonight to get monitored, my tummy is extremely tight and her movements are really quiet, but after some ice cold water she was away, the machine showed the little twinges I was having, the waiting game has started. Not long now for you teresa rest up, take care.

Well I've just done "nothing" all day and I'm exhausted, so little bubba, you can come out anytime from now! I really feel like I'm entering the last 2 weeks now. It's been a surprisingly easy pregnancy, a few surprises that never happened with the last two though. But I'm just so tired all the time (as of this week) and that's no fun. Especially when the housework is starting to bug me. And when I do go to bed, it takes forever to get to sleep and I toss and turn all night from sore hips (after I've laid on them for a time) and the inevitable midnight toilet stop

My mw muddled my dates up today with an old one - initially we had thought 3rd January but the scan said 14th (and my periods were a bit dodgy so we went with the scan date)... but it just made me realise how close I am to the end!

G/L Cherie, not sure how much you'll be able to get on here from now but you're probably counting down days woohoo!

PS I'm measuring at 39 weeks (34cm) with Baby 2/5 engaged.

Merry christmas to you both
Lovely day so far, we did our swim as usual, i think it was slightly colder than last year, but I had a good excuse not to dive in as far as the others.
Just waiting for dinner to finish cooking, fay is fast asleep, she is on santa's naughtly list for about 10 years after our first sleepless night last night, i think she was on the look out for the sleigh. We spent the night in 2 hour relays of rocking and feeding and cuddling, then at 5.30 this morning she did an enormous poo and has been asleep ever since!!! i hope that doesn't mean she's building up to another night of screaming.
hope you are both well and have a restful end to your pregnancys.
Happy Christmas Teresa and Cherie

Love Claire and Fay]]> Mon, 25 Dec 2006 16:21:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3356&PID=96499&title=due-in-january#96499 <![CDATA[Due in January! : Merry Christmas Cherie!

Merry Christmas Cherie! Not long for you now, it would be nice for you if your bub decided to come this week. The last couple of weeks are heavy and achey aren't they? I think it's us want bubba out regardless of how she comes And funny about your nesting

Hehe well I've had babies so np! And I'm only 3 weeks to go anyway. No more major BH (AKA niggles), I think it's cause last week in a fit of energy and motivation I was really nesty and must have overdone things a little whereas this week bubba has been growth spurting again and I've been too exhausted! We'll see what happens over the next week with various Christmas outings etc but I think I'm back on schedule for 12-14 January again.

Hope you get that breast shield sorted quickly. Could your mw pick one up? I must admit I get lost so badly in Wellington City - all the one-way streets drive me nuts! We have one one-way street in our whole city up here!]]> Fri, 22 Dec 2006 19:40:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3356&PID=96192&title=due-in-january#96192 <![CDATA[Due in January! : I think as I&#039;m expressing...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3356&PID=96139&title=due-in-january#96139 Author: Redbedrock

I think as I'm expressing to feed her as my milk flow is not enough to give her in one feed, she gets tired as she is still young, so I give her a top of of expressed milk during the day and ex[pressed or the dreaded formula overnight. This all extends my feeding/changing routine by another half hour, I feel I never get chance to just hold her, my pump sounds like a deisal generator so can't combine cuddles at the same time. This morning in a fit of tiredness I stuffed the bottle brush too far up the breast sheild when I was cleaning it, and cracked it so now I am trying to find another one I can use before my boobs explode. Paranoid that now my volumes have increased that I will lose it again with not expressing for a couple of feeds. I am trying to patch mum and dad in with a pharmacy in Wellington so that they can pick it up for me with their Xmas shopping but they keep getting lost down Cuba St
How are you today? anymore BH?

Awww Claire the first month is the hardest. I once wanted to know where on earth my day was going to (this was when I had two kiddies but they weren't newborn) so I made a time sheet lol and 1/3rd of the day was feeding/arranging meals, another 1/3rd was cuddling and reading books and stuff, and all the rest of my day like tidying or having time to myself was crammed into the last 1/3rd.

The first month is feeding, changing, getting used to being a mum, and resting - because it's sooo tiring! Not to mention that you're on call 24/7 But in a couple more weeks it'll be getting a lot easier. Her feeding times will be quicker, she'll start smiling at you and she'll want little times of just being on the floor/in the bouncinette too. With a bit of organisation you'll be able to take her to coffee with you and even feed discreetly enough for cafes and she'll settle into a routine as well.

That's so cool of your parents to be glad to help out with the housework! DH and I were talking last night and we have decided that we will get our lawns and some housework done for us. Having three kids this close together is hard work and I'd much rather look after kids and do regular chores than do mopping and toilet scrubbing and vacuuming! DH is a Postie so he does physical work 6 days a week, he wants his Sundays off not doing lawns which totally makes sense!

Oh Teresa, don't be lonely
I will talk to you, I have a question anyway, where does the day go? I fed Fay at 5 and she woke me again at 9, then it has just taken me til 12 to feed her, have breakfast, express and have a shower. Where will I find time to go for a coffee and stuff. and that's with having mum and dad here to help with all the other stuff like the washing and house work. what on earth wll I do when they go home. I am finally downstairs and I can hear Fay beginning to stir for her next feed, I haven't cleared up her bits from the last one yet!

I think this thread has turned into my own personal blog Cherie are you having your little bubba or just time off?

Well another mw appointment today. Strep B (for the first time) and Baby is 2/5 down and on the left - YAY! (10 days ago she was at the brim). That means I'm measuring the same as 10 days ago but with Baby down that far it's no wonder. I'm (she's) having another growth spurt so not much energy this week, but everything's all set to go for when she's ready - hopefully 2 Jan or that week . Exciting times! Actually I've been looking at the December posts and wondering if I might actually be the next OhBaby mum due. I think I might be about 3rd. ]]> Thu, 21 Dec 2006 14:46:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3356&PID=95875&title=due-in-january#95875 <![CDATA[Due in January! : It&#039;s interesting isn&#039;t...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3356&PID=94870&title=due-in-january#94870 Author: busymum

It's interesting isn't it? I had an hour of light contractions in the middle of Wednesday night and started wondering if I was gonna have a premmie after two full-termers *randomly goes through checklists to make sure everything is arranged.... and it's not lol*

Then yesterday morning I had some little niggles as well which I was just starting to watch when they died down. But it made me realise that it's being brought on when I'm busy. Friday was a very busy social day for me (which I loved!) and on Wednesday I got "nesting" big-time. So I need to watch that. And if I have any more contractions I'll be calling my mw right away. It was a bit of a shock to consider that we might have Baby before Christmas too... ]]> Sun, 17 Dec 2006 16:37:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3356&PID=94870&title=due-in-january#94870 <![CDATA[Due in January! : If I have my Teresa I will be...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3356&PID=94866&title=due-in-january#94866 Author: mummy_becks

If I have my Teresa I will be .

Almost a December baby I had. Friday I had really bad pains that came every five minutes. I hoped into the bath at 11am (texting Stacey the whole time, she distracted me which was good)and they still weren't going away. Sent a txt to DH who came home straight away and then helped me out of the bath and I rang my MW. She thought I may have the bug that is going around but still was concerned with the pattern. Did the usual checks and an internal just to check my cervix. Lucky for me the cervix was still closed, but she mentioned something about it being in a ripe position??? If the pain got worse and closer together then to go to the hospital. I was sent home to "rest", I hate resting when I have things to do. Lucky I had finished my assignment and all it needed was for me to take it to Massey which DH did for me. I came home after dropping stuff to the lab and then spent the afternoon going from my bed to the computer to the chair changing the channel on the tv and getting bored. The pain has stopped for now which is good as this baby ain't coming out till after xmas (and I say so).

Cherie, just wondering how you're getting on? 2 weeks to go ay, you must be excited (if not already busy!). And yay for you, probably no more stretching for your tum since your bubba has probably done all her growth spurting now and only needs to drop - or has already done so. Sometimes I feel the last 2 weeks are the longest, hopefully you'll be comfortably busy over Christmas so it doesn't feel so long.

Claire, read through your last couple of posts (pg 9), it's so funny knowing now how close Fay's arrival was going to be. All your talk about joining the December mums etc. Still wait and see for whether my bub will do that but I notice you had 1 1/2 hours of BH about two days before you went into labour.... so time will tell. Nothing else happening for me at this stage. ]]> Fri, 15 Dec 2006 21:43:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3356&PID=94639&title=due-in-january#94639 <![CDATA[Due in January! : Guess what?

Well I had another mw appointment today and my next one will be in about 10 days... since I'm almost at the weekly visit mark but Christmas and New Years kinda falls in there as well. (My mw's clinic day is Mondays lol)

So I had bloods done today and hopefully, since I only had two iron tablets yesterday, it will tell me that my iron is low and I need to have 3x day

But the other news is all good! My fundal height has grown 4cm in two weeks so I'm now 33cm which is equivalent to 37 weeks. And Krystiana is settling her head in my pelvis like I thought. Shoulders are now on the correct side and her head is almost engaged.

Well I better head off to bed while my kiddies are sleeping (or I'll get no sleep today ) How's things with you, Cherie? I'm getting the feeling that I'm gonna be the only mum having a baby on here from maybe 5th through to 31st January ]]> Mon, 11 Dec 2006 12:16:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3356&PID=93364&title=due-in-january#93364 <![CDATA[Due in January! : Well done Claire!

You used to have the one that looks like a sunset (black and gold).... but I like the change

I packed heaps and heaps of stuff for my first baby.... and then found out that the hospital has half those things available anyway (nappies, pads, towel...lol) so I packed less for Briona and still had stuff I didn't use I hadn't really thought about what to take this time around. I think what will happen is in a couple of weeks I'll go through all the baby clothes again and that will get me really clucky, and then *bingo!* I'll be packed

One thing I do like to pack though is a change of clothes for me because I hate those gowns, let alone people visiting me in them And when I change into a gown when I'm in labour I leave my (maternity) bra and t-shirt on underneath so I still feel human

Pretty good week so far. I upped my iron tablets from 2x day to 3x day last week when I got yet another bug and I got better pretty quickly. So after feeling well 2 days ago, I dropped back to 2x day yesterday and felt like crashing in bed at 8pm So, not what I intended, but I have now self-prescribed myself 3x day to the end and I guess I'll let the mw know on Monday

5 weeks to go... and a month for you. Woohoo!!!

Hmmm yep after all my excitement, I am not pinning any hopes on joining the December mums any more, I think I have had 2 BH since the weekend and no more show! and I still haven't packed my bags yet, despite Neil doing a great spreadsheet on excel, which you are welcome to view if you want, it is the most comprehensive list my m/w has ever seen, especially as I have no intention of staying in hospital any longer than I have to.
Glad to here you are feeling better Cherie and may be adapting to your new pace of life. I am working much reduced hours but I think I would do less if I was working, guess that's what comes with having house guests (my parents) for three months.
So good to hear we are all three feeling well at this point of the week

Yeah i got all excited about the show, well after the disgust thing was over, but my nice calm midwife reassured me not to worry about not having my bag packed yet. Damn
I think the general tiredness has caught up with me as well today, I am only working 3 days a week until I finish now, but may just call it quits at the end of this week. I think when once I finish work I will be able to concentrate on those last minute things
I know about the pelvis thing I worry that I will never be able to sit or stand with my knees together again, my duck leg waddle is getting a bit old now
Rest up and have a god night sleep

It's funny isn't it? (a week apart) I noticed that a couple of weeks ago.

Soooooo a show ay? You'll be really excited I'm sure, unfortunately it doesn't mean you're having any earlier a baby. Although you could put in a post to see how long between shows and births in the OhBaby general experience.

I have been exhausted today, to the point where I actually felt sick for a bit. Baby must be growing. Not to mention a fairly big weekend... Sunday we went out as usual but Saturday was a wedding and reception on top of that. Gonna watch a DVD tonight and then go to bed

And shoulders turning in my pelvis are NOT COMFY! Turn once, get in place, and STAY THERE!!


ETA: I laughed right out loud about the icepacks!! HAHAHAHA oo but I bet Neil wasn't that excited

OOOh after my exciting weekend with B/H I had a lovely surprise in the shower this morning when I found a great glob of snot on my leg, eeeuh (sp)     Spoke to midwife who has reassured me not to worry just yet, I could go into labour any time from now to the next 7 weeks. I called Neil to have a look, he is now worried that the intimate boundaries of our relationship have completely gone - that's nothing he is about to watch me go though labour delivery and post natal bits and pieces.
So Happy Monday to all of us.
Teresa I just realised that we are exactly a week apart with our pregnancies and emotional state. This time last week I was sooo over being pregnant too.

I would love to walk through something without having to check my width first. we went to a carol thing last night at Westpac stadium and I nearly got stuck in the turnstile. and yeaht he same sore back, sore hips and this b****y rash thing are driving me crazy, so I am with you Teresa.

I had a run of Braxton Hicks yesterday for about an hour and half, got a bit excited and then at mum's suggestion had a warm bath and b*****r they stopped, and the heat from the bath made my legs itch and burn even more, so I went to bed with ice packs on my calfs which kept falling off during the night and woke Neil up.

I think the confusion with my age is cos my body knows it's nearly 37 but my brain thinks it's still 21, so it feels like I am too young to be married with a mortgage never mind a baby on the way. It took Neil and I nearly 10 years to move in together cos it was too soon and too big a step, and because I was travelling in Asia for 2 years of that on my own.
Thanks for the advice re TENS, I am hoping to get one through the physio deps here at the hospital but other than that I will track down at a pharmacy locally.
Bingo seems to be in relativly the same position she was in at my scan at 22 weeks, her body has moved more to the left side, but other wise she is head down and bum up. So kinda pleased about that despite my groans about being shoved in the ribs all the time

I know Trish's story is amazing, and in a photograph with no other points of reference, Aidan looks perfect, hard to imagine that he is so early really and so small. I was telling some one the other day that I was so over being pregnant ( I don't think I am a Mother earth goddess type of person, but that may be obvious with my age, if I was I would have done this earlier), but I am so glad Bingo is still in there kicking my ribs, and using my cervix as a trampoline - what a strange feeling that is, like have upside down sex

Not usre if it makes a popping sound or whether i jsut feel it, no one has commented so I guess I feel it. M/W thinks its is just trapped pockets of air and the sensation is like a whooppeee cushion. As for my rash, she thinks it's just hormonal, it doesn't fit the history of the more worrying pregnancy itches but she will refer me to the Obs reg if it still worrying me. so it's just plenty of aloe vera for me and try and keep my nails short so I don't scratch too badly
I am going to look into a TENS machine for the early part of labour too, my friend in the UK swore by hers for the first 48 hours of labour, (then she yelled for an epi and CS). But i like the idea of going in stages, and moving up as I need to, my midwife seems pretty straight up and I will trust her advice as to how we are doing. I don't think it's the pain I am worried about, it seems as if there is a pay off to it and I know at some point it's going to stop, I think it is the thought of things not progressing in the way I hope they will and having to get more and more intervention so that I lose control of the situation. But I know we get the labour and birth that is meant to be and at the end of the day I want Bingo to be born safely and with minimal risk so that's the pay off with what I want and what will be I guess.
Scary grown up stuff but in just over a month I get to meet this person face to face and I can't wait

Yes it sure is hard planning that first time. I think for me I just have a rough idea of if it hurts too much, go in the shower. if that hurts too much, try gas... stages like that. I'm hoping to do mine without an epidural this time as I felt last time I lost some control with the pushing (couldn't feel what I was supposed to be doing). But it was kinda nice having the epidural for the first birth and being able to get a feel for how the flow goes without too much pain... we shall see.

Sorry the worst dental experience I've had is a "surface" filling with no anaesthesia. It doesn't compare at all! The thing with labour pains is that they build up over time and that's what helps us feel "in control". I'm afraid my pain tolerance is only moderate and I am definitely one to panic when heavy pain comes on I think the biggest thing I need to remember is to keep DH informed of where I'm at and what I need.

He already remembers my pointers from post-birth last time: Don't say "don't give up" say "keep on going" etc... anyway it wasn't really like I could give up lol

Headaches are better, still really tired. Could easily be a growth spurt as well as low immune system at the moment, so I'm just trying to take things easy. So far the rest of the family hasn't caught anything, I hope it stays that way.]]> Wed, 29 Nov 2006 12:51:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3356&PID=89980&title=due-in-january#89980 <![CDATA[Due in January! : Hope you&#039;re feeling better...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3356&PID=89951&title=due-in-january#89951 Author: Redbedrock

Hope you're feeling better today, and the headaches are gone, most likely to be a reflection of how yuk you have been feeling. How are your eyes, conjunctivitis is very contagious so be careful with the girls getting it.
Neil and I went through our birth plan in preparation for my m/w appointment later today, I'm all sort of "go with the flow" as I don't know what it will be like, I think I have a fairly high pain threshold and I am not prone to panicky or out of control, but I think the worse thing that has ever happened to me is having a tooth out, does it compare at all? But no, Neil is planning it like a military operation, how long should the pain be unbearable before he requests an epidural (he??????). and his list to take with him is longer than mine and the babies!!!
I have this ugly itchy rash all over my legs, up to about mid thigh, but the rest of my skin is starting to itch too at the moment, I have gone through everything, we don't have visitors (of the insect kind), it's not chicken pox or anything like that, I haven't changed washing powders or soaps of anything. It's driving me crazy especially at night, when my legs get warm under the duvet they itch and itch and itch. As I said seeing M/W later today and my homeopath tomorrow, so hopefully they will have some answers ]]> Wed, 29 Nov 2006 11:23:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3356&PID=89951&title=due-in-january#89951 <![CDATA[Due in January! : There&#039;s always the &#034;over...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3356&PID=89674&title=due-in-january#89674 Author: busymum

There's always the "over the shoulder" view. My first couple of pics after each birth aren't that great cause I go so pale Hopefully he'll be so caught up with your little babe that he'll just take heaps of photos of her!

Feeling yuck and really tired today. I'm halfway through my 3rd or 4th week in a row of being sick! Colds, then the kids with ear infections (while I still had a cold), now conjunctivitis for me which is actually very contagious. My immune system has had a beating especially since there's so few medicines I can take (because of pregnancy)! Bring on proper summer and the end of colds for a couple of months, I say. (Yep I'd rather sweat than be sick and miserable lol)

ETA: I got DH to put the eye drops in for me since he can see better and he thinks its hilarious - the solution is so cold and sudden that it makes me blink and sometimes that squeezes it all right out!

We have certainly got chatty in the last week or so, about 2 pages a week at the current rate.
No stretch marks here so far, I think that is genetic as my mum has none after two pregnancies, we both have the same clear skin, so hoping I don't jinx myself.
WE are having a movie night tonight, we reckoned it was time to watch a birth video, as we have not seen one yet, so hired some fromt he antenatal group library yesterday. I was thinking of beer and popcorn for Neil and more licorace for me.

Hi again Cherie, and Claire, well its been another uneventful week pregnant but at this stage that is a good thing. I am finally over my cold only to have developed conjunctivitis (there is another thread on that). Fortunately its just a nuisance nothing particularly bad about it.

Saw my m/w again today. I'm still on fortnightly visits but I think we'll do a couple of 10-day visits over Christmas/New Year and weekly after that (since I'm due 2 weeks after you Cherie). But we have started talking birth plan and things suddenly feel like wow, I'm having a baby - silly as it sounds!

Cherie don't worry about stretch marks too much they will eventually fade and not be noticeable, but that will be after baby is born. I didn't realise where you lived until now, we three are rather spread out!

Claire yes you are starting to sound hippy but only in fun My m/w thought Baby is not quite in the right place today but she seems to be moving towards the right place, so that is still good news. I think I'm just glad she's not breech like #2 nearly was - she was flipping breech to down to breech to down every visit, a bit tense at that time.]]> Mon, 27 Nov 2006 21:11:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3356&PID=89581&title=due-in-january#89581 <![CDATA[Due in January! : Hi there all Not much is happening...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3356&PID=89569&title=due-in-january#89569 Author: TaylasMum

At the moment he reckons I take up too much bed so prefers me not being in there. I keep reminding him there are 2 of us on my side.
I can well reccommend the osteopath, but it seems to have been the best money i have spent through my whole pregnancy. I have slept so well and my aches and pains in my hips are much better. Bingo seems to have moved, as well, so I don't have all that pressure in my ribs and side. May be a coincidence, but I am hooked. I am going back at 36-37 weeks to have my pelvis aligned for the birth. I might be turning hippy in my old age, what with homeopaths, for my hayfever, and osteopaths.
Hope you are feeling good Teresa and this is the start of a good week for us all

Well I think I am officially the domestic goddess today, move over Nigella Wotisface. I have, in no particualr order, baked 2 xmas cakes for a function, made bread and I am in the process of making some curtains for the baby's room, as well as the washing and some on-call work, but that bits boring and I only put it in to justify myself.
Neil always said he wanted a wife who was pregnant, barefoot and in the kichen, shame he's out playing golf and can't see it

4 boys under 5 at one stage. I told him I felt very sorry for his wife cos he is never at home. I don't know how he had the patience with me. I lost it at him. Told him it was his fault I got sick and his fault that the baby wasn't coming out and if he didn't induce me I was walking out of the hospital and didn't care what happened to the baby. He calmed me down and went over the induction and told me that it was very busy in the delivery suite and would have to wait my turn. I then said to him so if I go into labour they are going to turn me away. He saw the funny side of that and then the next day I was induced (BP got far too high 165/102 and my fingers were jammed together it was horrible) and then had Andrew at 1am the next morning.]]> Fri, 24 Nov 2006 21:30:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3356&PID=88915&title=due-in-january#88915 <![CDATA[Due in January! : lol last I heard he had 4 under...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3356&PID=88910&title=due-in-january#88910 Author: busymum

lol last I heard he had 4 under 5 (or at least his wife does) He's lovely, really nice to deal with - especially since our first meeting was in deciding to give me an emergency c/s cause of haemorrage.

Yeah thats him I love him, (but not in that way) he is so nice and very understanding. When I had my scan he was there and he said better late than never that I was in as last year in Feb he wanted me pregnant after my endo op. We were talking about uncooprative children and this one wouldn't turn for the scan to see his heart and he was telling me about his 3 at the breakfast table. The woman that was trying to the scan must of thought we were related the way we were talking, but I had pulled him away from dinner one night after my endo op as my stitches came undone - I blamed him he blamed me for leaving the hospital early but it was all in good fun.]]> Fri, 24 Nov 2006 21:08:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3356&PID=88902&title=due-in-january#88902 <![CDATA[Due in January! : oooo who is he?

I wasn't all that with it writing that post, I think I did but then again probably didn't. Yeah usually is just the first but my mum bucked the trend and had it with me and my sister and not with the last. If I have a raise in my BP then we will def talking induction.

I have a nice friend who is an ob/gyn who will induce me if I sweet talk him enough (I mananged to do it last time). He is the only one I will allow to do a c section if I have to have one as I have a relationship with him from when I had Andrew and then he did a heap of gyne stuff for me last year so I trust him a lot. Nothing against the others up there but he knows me and what i'm like when 38 weeks pregnant and swollen up like a balloon, and could handle my moods and the stuff I said to him. He told me I remind him of his wife not sure if thats a good thing.

Well I'm certainly hoping to have Krystiana out by the end of January! Hope that protein settles - I thought pre-eclampsia happened "almost only" with first babies?

Cos I had bad pre eclampsia with Andrew there is a highly likely chance that it may come back with this one. So if I have to be induced 2 weeks early then that will make it the end of Jan. When I spoke with my MW yesterday we spoke about my headaches and she wants me to keep an eye on them and go in and see her on Monday, i'll have a BP check and a pee test just to see how things are going. At my last check the pee test showed up the slightest amount of protein in my pee (not even enough to be classed as a + but it was still there). Not enough to be concerned with at this stage, but she is keeping a check on it.

OMG my parents have their 25th wedding aniversary on Monday.

Right sorry about yesterday, I don't ususally give into bouts of self pity like that, but I had had enough. Any way have turned all the phones off so that no one can get hold of me today and plan to have some me time.
Thank you Teresa for your syupport yesterday, especially on your birthday, glad you had a nice evening the night before. We took mum and dad to a nice restaurant in welly at the weekend for their 40th wedding anniversary, which was just before they left the UK, it's just so nice to go somewhere special every now and then. 10 years ago I worked in a restaurant in Palmie, in Kings St, called Christophers, I think it is a massage parlour now but it was nice at the time. I don't know which I would be worse at waiting tables (and i sucked at that) or a massuer, Neil says I give the worse massages int he world, he's glad it's me giving birth and not him so that I don't have to rub his shoulders (Like that's the only reason)]]> Fri, 24 Nov 2006 07:54:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3356&PID=88621&title=due-in-january#88621 <![CDATA[Due in January! : Oooohhhh nice.
