Congrats on babies! very good idea to warn people about pre-eclampsia. So easy to just put those symptoms down to pregnancy.
I remember that disaster of being stuck in hospital with new baby all on your own, unable to sleep, rubbish food. I was there for a week because they thought my bp was too low. They kept sticking me on a drip and all sorts to raise it. I guess they thought i was bleeding internally. Had to get my gp to phone them and explain I have naturally low bp, which went to 'normal' levels during pregnancy, and i was just returning to my own pre-prego levels.
I know rooming-in is the usual policy, but a midwife friend of mine told me to ask for the nursery nurse at nighttime when I wanted a sleep. They will mind baby in the nursery for a few hours while you get some bit of sleep if you like. (In Cumh anyway). Twas brill to be able to recharge a little bit. Don't know why they don't tell people about that.
We were told the same at our ante natal classes in Hollles street, just ask and the nurse will mind baby for you. I actually know a girl who had a baby there in October, the baby was minded 2 out of the 3 nights for her
Mount carmel told the baby go to the nursery regardless (they want you to sleep!) and you just get charged for it 0 -

Yep holles street will mind baby over night for you for a few hours. My fella was feeing constantly and the midwife came in each night at 3 or 4 am when she realised he was still on me and told me to have a rest and she would take him. Was such a relief and was the only bit of sleep I got.0 -

Heartburn is really getting on my last nerve!!! Woke up with it last night about 3 and was still awake at 4.30.
Thought i was starting labour last night too had contractions and some pain but stopped after an hour:'(
Only 4 more weeks to go please god!!!!
Heartburn is horrific. I never had it before now. I gave in last week and took gaviscon as it was so bad it was waking me up in the middle of the night. The Gaviscon liquid is vile but does the job just take it at night and drink milk during the day and chew peppermint chewing gum. 0 -

Theres an aniseed flavour gaviscon which is horrible but theres a peppermint 1 which isnt half as bad.0 -

No tablets are worse. Leave a chalky taste.
Today and yesterday only needed it once it just depends on what im eating. I have a tendancy to wait and see will it ease which normally means it gets 10 times worse.
With my daughter though i was taking loads so i wont complain too much.
I am the same I only take it when it feels there is a bonfire in my chest! I am taking 2 small tsp but only getting relief for around 2 hours! And then it comes back
it is so sore turning in the bed with bump at night would love if baby made an appearance next week! 0 -

Saw a gorgeous pram in a second hand shop today. Absolutely beautiful, so easy to fold and comes with carry cot, accessories and the seat for changing it into forward or back facing pushchair. Only 65 bucks, so I put money down on it amd rang oh so excited. And he went mad. Never felt so horrible in my whole life. Whinging about what happens if it breaks and why would I bother when his mother has offered to buy a new one. I just hung up and texted him a piece of my mind. So bloody upset 0

Oyvey... other halfs huh? Buy the buggy if it's what you want. I bought second hand on adverts this time and got an absolute bargain. You're saving his mother money in the long run.0 -

But I feel guilty goin to bed
I know my hubby back to work on mon and I'm dreading it no more naps if she's up teething all night! Stupid eye teeth. And I feel guilty then too... Cause it's holidays too and he really doesn't get much of a break with a hyper 18 month old and a sick wife! 0 -

He must be having sympathy mood swings soShaShaBear wrote: »He seems to be miffed that hes being excluded from the decision making. Im getting told now that I exclude him from everything. Finding it hard to pinpoint what he means since the only decision I made so far was what hospital I was going to. The only other decision was not to have a christening and that was solely his decision. He seems to think the pram is going to crumble to ash after a week. Its a consignment store and the items already washed and comes with a receipt like!
It does seem like a strange reaction, although I agree with cyning that it's tough for the dads as they aren't living with the pregnancy 24/7 so it can be a bit strange for them, but my hubby would be more on the 'whatever you think' end of the scale. I have to badger him to have an opinion on anything!0 -

My mum offered to buy our travel system, and I have to admit, I'd have been just raging if my boyfriend announced one day that he'd picked one out and put a deposit on it with no input from me.
I think my mother would have been a bit upset too, when it was supposed to be her "thing".
If you try to put yourself in his shoes, can't you see how he'd be annoyed over it? I'm sure you would be, if it were the other way around?
Not trying to be mean, sorry. I do think he's got a point, though! 0
