Hi Ladies,

Good to hear that all is better with everybody!!! I've chatted to the reception at the drs rooms, they'll talk to the dr and let me know what's now been decided, but looks like this little baby's eviction notice will be served either Monday or Tuesday next week!

Have been working from home this week, my manager said he's more relaxed if I'm not at the office, shame he's very sweet and extremely worried about my little one. I'll be going in to the office tomorrow to finish signing the maternity leave papers etc. then take it in to UIF on Friday.

Oh yes, the ladies at the office just informed me too that they are having a 'baby shower' at the office tomorrow for me. Soooo exciting! I love opening gifts!!

Well Maries, I really hope your little one arrives before you are forced into having another c-section.

Suhaila, enjoy your last stretch too!!

I will keep you ladies posted on what's up my side.

......oh yes, and I still need to finish packing my flippen hospital bags!!! hahaha!

Hey Suhaila, was wondering what happened to you. Glad all is well... Are you all prepared for the birth? Hospital bags packed?

I am feeling better. One more day of anti biotics!
Went to the doc yesterday. Baby is 3.4kg. On maternity leave and just waiting for my LB arrival. Feels like I'm waiting forever. Doc says if I go over 40 weeks I need to have a c-section as there will be a big possibility of my scar tissue rupturing... Praying for natural though!!

Haidee, how are you??? What happened at the hospital? Did you go for your shots?

I think Blackie has her baby already.... Lol

Hi everyone

Typed out a long post, and my session expired (whatever that means) and I lost it all, grr)

Maries how is your urinary infection? Those things are awful

Haidee my lg estimated weight was 3kgs at 36 weeks so your lb is doing awesome, given that I'm eating and not having problems with nausea and vomitting.
Just 13 or so days to go before I meet her can't wait

Blackie your absence has been lengthy is it safe to assume your lb is here. Please come tell us the birth story

Hi,

I know what you mean about leaving the kids and being in hospital...

I hope you will rest now! Put your feet up and relax...

Wow, 3.1kg, that is a great weight!! I am sure baby is going to be perfect...

I am doing ok. Was discharged yesterday and need to finish the antibiotics. Seeing my doc on Monday... I want him out now...

Hi Maries,

Luckily baby measured 3.1kg yesterday, so at least he isn't small! It's just the lungs they worried about seeing as I'm not yet officially 37 weeks yet.

The only reason I don't want to go to hospital is because of having to leave my little one. My hubby is not home all weekend and I am really bad at trusting anybody looking after my kids!

How are you feeling today?

Haidee, I'm so sorry you're going through all this... How many kg is baby now? You are really strong! Hang in there...

Maybe u should go to the hospital and let them monitor you.

Hi Maries,

Good to hear that at least it is something treatable. I share your frustration of lying in hospital....I had to also beg the gyne at yesterday's appointment not to admit me right there and then.

I've tried eating as much as I can during the past two weeks, I was convinced that I had picked up some weight. So when I got to the gyne and had to go weigh in I was telling the nurse very excitedly that I want to get weighed because they'll be happy....just to be let down with seeing I've lost weight AGAIN!!!

...but as my husband said, how do I think I'll pick up weight if everything I eat comes out afterwards in anycase...but still I was really hopeful.

The gyne looked at baby and at least he did pick up a few grams, she said that if she looks at the entire pregnancy, his growth has started slowing down now too much, so it shows that it is affecting him and we must be deciding on a plan of action NOW. Had my first steroid injections at the maternity ward last night, got to go back for the second lot tonight (24 hours later). Gyne wants to then induce next week Friday...I convinced her that if all goes OK, to wait until the Monday there after, then I'll be officially 38 weeks.

Oooooh I am feeling very depressed with this, my last pregnancy ever, and it's so many issues!

How are things today with you ladies.
