August-September 2010 Moms

Hi mommies

I had the worst night last night, after dinner i was having the most undiscribeable pains in my hips, lower back and tummy i rushed to the loo, and nothing...there was so much pressure and my tummy went rock hard and the pain got so bad i started vomitting....it was aweful then about every 8 minutes i was on the loo as my tummy just started working and cramping like crazy this continued till 4am.

I have been having tummy problems but this was terrible, so this morning i couldnt even move so i kept my daughter at home and waited for my gynae appointment at 11am, he checked out baby and pushed on my tummy and sent me up to hospital for feotal monitoring....i was so nervous so they hooked me up on the machine and we waited about half an hour and she came and checked and gave me the print and sent me back to the dr, i had a choclate while i was hooked up on the machine and all of a sudden the uterus irritability number jumped from 4 to 32 and she saod it was a contraction but i explained i had been on for 30 min and it was always on 4 only whn i ate did it jump and it seems i am only ever in pain after or while i am eating...

So i went back to Dr he is very happy with baby, perscribed me aterax and said i must hold out till tuesday, NOT REALLY ALL That concerned by these horrible pains that had me hitting the bathroom walls last night.... as long as baby fine i am happy but gees could he atleast pay some attention to the fact that this pain aint a joke....we dont even know whats causing it! My eyes and face and body so swollen and i feel drained after last night. I have had the cramps once or twice today but nothing serious like last nite.

I took the aterax...and am off to bed.

Tuesday morning 7.30am i go for my c-sec have advised nurse to give me calming tablets i am afraid i am going to freak out...although i took my aterax and i am feeling rather calm tonight when i think of the c-sec usually i hit a flat panic when i even think about it.

I am booking into the deluxe single room...(I MADE SURE I GOT THAT ROOM IN ADVANCE) with a balcony and on suite bathroom) i book in Monday night they going to give me a tablet to calm me and help me rest and tuesday morning i welcome my baby.....i am getting excited now!

Its my pedi tomorrow and shopping on the weekend for the next 6 weeks!

I AM READY ...or is this just the aterax talking??? LOL

Hey girls

Naikza wow thanks for sharing your story. It shows us how truely miraculous birth is, and I am pleased that despite your experience you and baby Tanvir are doing well.
Afraid I cant see your pic though.

Eileen you were on my mind today!
So can they explain the cramps? Sorry about the pre-eclempsia. It can be very dangerous for mom so best take doctors advice of strict bed rest until baby decides its time.

Judes mom welcome to maternity leave
You are looking fab!

Robyn hey! Shame sounds like a lot of hard work. But glad its all done now?
Glad you enjoyed your shower. Sounds like you had lots of fun

Kerry your baby seems a good weight. The early placenta maturing is a sign sometimes that baby is getting ready so hopefully it wont be too much longer.
Lol re the nappy rash!!!

I just went to see Mommy2Monster now and her little Liam is just gorgeous! He is healthy though and feeds so well. Made it all so real for me that just one week!

Been up and about pretty much all day today. Enjoyed my pedi, but tired now shew.
Looking forward to a relaxing day on the couch tomorrow

This is a pic of Tanvir

Will try n put down my experience. . .

Last week Tuesday morning i woke up early to try n finish work, got taken to work to do some stuff it took longer than what we thought but it was bad as i was struggling to even walk. From time i got home in late afternoon i could hardly walk. I also had very swollen feet from knees down n ankles were even worse. Towards evening it got worse. I was nauseous.

I was experiencing contractions but didnt think it anything serious n started getting ready for bed cos i didnt want to go to hospital too early. But then the pain got worse n thought it better to just go to hospital. Didnt look forward to it cos of my bad experience the last time i was there.

We reached there by 22:45.This time my hubby wasnt even allowed to stay with me, i was scared but at least i knew my son was with his dad.

When i was examined i was 4cm dilated. I was put on fetal heart monitor for half an hour but felt like much longer. I was in pain n lying on my side was pure torture.

Thereafter i was put in a room with two other ladies who were sleeping. I tried to lie down but the pain was really bad in my back n my legs. I jumped off the bed n grabbed the burglar bars by the window to help. I screamed out in pain when i was having contractions but was told to keep quiet by night shift staff. I stumbled to the toilet and found some relief sitting on there. But as soon as i got up pain was worse than ever. So i sat down again, then nurse in charge was looking for me so i forced myself to get back to room. But pain was very bad. I tried praying n breathing to help. I screamed for them to help me cos i couldnt take it anymore. So she came n said she will check me n if baby didnt engage she would give me an injection. But she told me to get up n go to another room. I couldnt even walk. But she held me n took me slowly to the delivery room i felt like screaming roof off i was in too much pain. Then in room i was told to lie on bed n she said that she cant give me anything cos baby is engaged. I was left alone. I lay on bed n each time i had a contraction i grabbed onto the headboard type thing at back of my head or pulled my hair. I tried breathing n praying. I was told to lie on my side but it was too painful so i turned on my back. By 2:20am the pain was worse. Nurse came to check said baby on its way. She said she'd help. After all the pain n bit of pushing baby was born, it was a nice suprise to know it was a boy born at 2:59am. He weighed 3,4kg and was 49.5 in length. Had an APGAR of 9 and then 10. It was nicest feeling in the world to hear him cry. Unfortunately i had to be stitched up afterwards. N when we were taken to post natal ward i sat with him in my arms on edge of bed till we could be discharged.

Hope this wasnt TMI. Sorry if this was too long n boring
