10 mins before I was pronounced fully dilated and needing to bear down, chloe's head was felt to be completely free and unengaged (as it had been at antenatal checks and throughout my labor).

Going to pick up a test tomorrow. Had a blood test at my GP the end of last week and I called up for the results today (test was for other reasons as well) but they gave me everything apart from HCG level results and said the doctor wants to see me about them so scared now. Don't really know what to think at the moment, head is all over the place, have a coil so not sure how likely a positive result is
Hush, little baby, drink your spoiled milk
I'm crazy, need my prescription filled
Do you like my cookies? They're made just for you
A little bit of sugar, but lots of poison, too
Aurora is still blocked up and is straining and screaming this morning. Got less than 30ml of the oj and water into her, and then she was sick so waiting on a call back from the gp :( got the snippy bitch receptionist on the emergency line who transferred me to appointments, was nearly crying with rage when I was on to the appointments line receptionist.
Rinna, maybe the go just wants to discuss your results and check your coil is still in place correctly? I hope you get some answers soon :) let us know.
I got my coil fitted 5 weeks ago, but I'm still paranoid about pregnancy. I don't react well to hormones so went for a copper one. I know I couldn't mentally cope with two kids under two, the one I have is challenging enough!!
Before "these clinicians" mothers and babies DIED.
Mothers and babies mostly died from puerperal sepsis, abruption, haemorrhage, premature and obstructed labour. All of which still exist today and are nothing to do with being overdue.
The placenta begins to decline in some pregnancies after42 weeks. Some, not all. Extra monitoring is available for women who choose it until their bodies go into labour.
Even as the stone of the fruit must break
that its heart may stand in the sun,
so must you know pain.
There are only two ways in which one can live their life. One is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though everything is.
I seem to have developed an infection or something on the skin of my groin. It only appeared yesterday but its already pretty smelly and sore. Thing is do I call the doctor or midwife? It seems pretty similar to the anaerobic infection I got in my scar after my section which I needed antibiotics for.
Yeah I have and left a message. I'm sure clinic is till 12 so I guess they might call me back after that. If not ill give another call this afternoon. God it's sooo sore and in 24 hours its really took hold. Yuck yuck yuck.
Sooooo no one ever called me back and since I'm there at 9am tomorrow I figure its pointless to try and sort it now. Oh well good job it wasn't anything really worrying.
I hope it's nothing serious Sam and you get it sorted.
Nic, I couldn't find any locally, but the dr prescribed her lactulose which seems to have helped. Been getting 2 or 3 dirty nappies a day and the contents are returning to normal and not causing her pain anymore which is good.
I felt pretty good after our play date on Wednesday though, Aurora is the girl in the group who is making the most vocal noises, is the one who grabs her feet and is the one who makes the best attempts to roll over. I felt so reassured that I am doing all the right things with her to help her development :)
So I had a random missed call from a blocked number at 5.10pm. No message left. I'm thinking maybe the midwife but considering I'm there in just over 12 hours its a bit pointless calling back now.
I don't think I have any antiseptic cream so ill just try and keep it clean and dry till tomorrow.
Anyone have any good white noise machine type things? We tried putting some on the laptop when Pop was screaming and it really calmed her down but the laptop was boiling after being on so long so I want to get something proper to use.
After Poppy going 13 days without pooing she now won't stop! 8+ time throughout each day and night it is barmy and so fluorescent green :(
You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are.
Aw I hope Poppy's tummy feels better soon. I don't know about any white noise equipment as Elliot always hated it. What about the Hoover or washing machine? Does that have same effect?
I went for my sweep this morning. Had such a wonderful midwife doing it I wish she was my proper one! She discussed my options in terms of induction and I'm feeling much calmer about it now. They'll let me go to 40+12 before inducing me which is next Friday. She said although I'm not dilated my cervix is 2cm long and 25% effaced and soft which considering with Elliot it never changed is an improvement. She apologised lots about how Much it must have hurt because she "wanted to do a really good job" haha but actually I have worse cramps after I've had a wee so I was quite proud of how I handled it all. They've swabbed my groin and should find out next week what it is if anything and I have anther sweep on Tuesday. I haven't felt any cramping at all but I do feel like I have a bruised cervix which I guess is normal.
Had a massively bitchy letter from my old peri natal psych, basically she's still not forgiven me for breastfeeding. She did a case conference (I got the power point slides) on me, and why they should have sectioned me and forced me to stop long before I did. Now, I'm not even pregnant yet, and everybody is going on about how I am NOT ALLOWED to breastfeed.
Why were you not allowed? I was never given a defiate yes or no from loads of doctors and psychs because there is no proof that it was bad because of Meds but no proof that it wasn't harmful. I gave up because he had jaundice and wouldn't latch and my husband and mainly my father did not want me to risk it (I had a traumatic birth with both siblings dying) so he was very causious and I was worried about side effects because if I'm on anti psychotics and it effects my mind so much that I'm tired and things I truely beloved where true I don't any more how would if effect my son.
I do however really think that breast feeding is the best thing for a baby and admire what you did. I feel very weak minded emotionally and physically (because of the pain and how un- natural it was)
I haven't been on here for a while. Tbh I haven't been on the whole site for quite a while.
I had my little man. His due date should have been November 21st bit we've already had over 2 weeks with our warrior. He decided to join us at 10:16pm on the 30th October, 22 days early but still perfect and healthy just very tine at 4lbs 14.5oz.
Hope everyone else is doing good. Xxx

I hate it, I don't want it, I don't need it, I never want to see it, You can take it, You can break it.
Mummy to my gorgeous wolf cub - 30/10/2013. Our little fighter at 3 weeks early and a tiny 4lbs 14oz.
You realise they can't "let" you do anything - it's always YOUR choice.
(I think you want to be induced anyway which is fine but I just had to point this out).
Even as the stone of the fruit must break
that its heart may stand in the sun,
so must you know pain.

Wow that is tiny, chloe was 18days early and weighed 7lb1oz
