@ Adrienne, I know the feeling I'm like an 80 year old woman when I try to stand up straight it takes a good 2 minutes to go from sitting to standing fully straight!
I was in with the consultant last week and she said the baby was engaged, though from what I've read I'm supposed to be able to breath easier as baby not squashing my lungs and things should feel lighter, not feeling either though (yet)!
@ fi1979 - I'm so glad I'm not alone I keep doing the doziest of things like putting the remote control in the dishwasher, forgetting to ring people
@ Hacked - I'm glad you got sorted with the buggy and fair play to them for throwing in the freebies, just a shame they sold your original one especially after you called them so many times to let them know you were coming in and plus the fact you had it fully paid! don't understand how/why they still managed to sell it!
So happy I'm finally home! I'm looking so forward to my own bed, not having to fill the toilet cistern with buckets of rain water and joy of all joys a lovely hot shower with my own shower & shower gel - bliss!!!
:D:D
Just finished washing all the baby clothes I bought, just trying to summon the energy to iron them now, might take a while 0 -

Cap...thats a brilliant idea!! I'll be going in to the hospital on tuesday, and there's a place in Stephen's Green Shopping Centre in Dublin City that make tshirts. So tempted to go in and get one made. Shall I pick one of for you too?? Send me the details!
Thanks! Well, at this point it's better to just stick with mothercare. I got a great deal with them, and at this rate and I'll be getting an even better deal even if it's been frustrating. The woman in charge of "my case" will be calling me tomorrow, so I guess I'll just have to wait to see what she has to say tomorrow!
How are you feeling these days? You're next in line, right?0 -

Aw cool we have our line up!
Though I thought I was nearly skipping the queue Saturday night I'd to go into hospital with period like pains/cramps that I had for a few hours.
I'm finding a little bit confusing because they didn't actually say that baby might come early, but they did get me to come in 2 nights in a row for steroid injections to develop baby's lungs just in case she does come early.
So I'm on high alert now :rolleyes: just in case!!
This little lady is so active I hadn't realised how much until in the hospital they but a monitor on me and I'd to click a little thingy every time she kicked.
She clocked up 120 + kicks in just under 40 minutes, no wonder I'm so tired lately!!
Anyone else got some seriously hyperactive babs in there?
Hacked any luck with your ongoing mothercare saga? fingers crossed they got you sorted today!0 -

His new creepy as feck trick is practising his breathing. You can see him breathing away inside.
Omg seriously :eek: that's amazing!
My little one specialises in kicking the living daylights out of me, though I did see her hiccupping last week which was cute as her daddy had a dose of them at the same time, so they were nearly synchronised 0 -

I'm going to have a good old moan about the Coombe Womens Hospital... kinda need some of your advice on what to do also ladies!
Was supposed to attend the hospital on the 30/12 but because of the bad weather and ice I couldn't get over. I rang the hospital and explained this to them and they rang me back with an appointment for the week after, the 6th of January. This was the day the busses were cancelled so I couldn't get over then either, I tried to ring them to make alternative arrangements but couldn't get through to the appointments department that day.
I have been trying ever since to get in contact with them and they are just not answering their phones. I keep getting put through, listen to all the phone numbers to ring for the different regions, the music for holding comes on and after three minutes automatically cuts me off. I have tried emailing their "Urgent Appointments" section and I have sent them a snail mail letter (on the 3rd Jan) and have not heard ANYTHING from them. I have even rang the main hospital and tried to get through to appointments from there but nothing.
My GP doesn't offer combined care, also he's a bit useless anyways (insisted I wasn't pregnant on Addison when I had already taken 9 HPT's and his tests were coming out negative), but I rang his receptionist today and asked would he be able to write to the hospital for me or try and get in touch with them and she told me as it's not combined care that it's my responsibility to contact the hospital and that if I was that worried I should just present myself at the emergency room in the hospital!
I haven't been seen since October... maybe I should just go over but as it's not an emergency I'd feel a bit silly sitting there with the poor mothers who have problems...
Blah, I hate the Coombe

Hello Ladies - back again.....
Had a lovely family w/e in Dublin and really enjoyed the break. My husband's medical tests went well and we got good news. My daughterfed the duckies to her heart's content and we strolled around soaking up the lovely atmosphere and it made me want to move back.Didn't bother with the zoo this time and I'm glad of it. Spent the money in Butlers handmade choccy shop over the 2 days instead and got loads of lovely stuff for My daughter's new room as well. Still waiting for the cotbed to arrive from Limerick though It's only been 9 days though, and I feel guilty for giving out considering what poor hacked has been through with MC.
Not much to moan about for me really. Super itchy on the belly so I am slathering on the fenjal in the shower and every other substance I can find after the shower and it deffo does help. Must start the search for staff to replace me for my maternity leave soon. Only have 1 person who could fit the bill and really hoping she is interested in coming back into the sector as she has been out for a few years having her own babas, but another person was talking to her lately and she seemed interested in getting back in the game so cross fingers toes eyes and legs for me girls tomorrow cos I've got her mobile and Im gonna give it a go. The job I do requires enormously prohibitive amounts of training (I spent 6 mths and €4,000 training someone to cover my 10 day honeymoon and they buggered off and decided to become a lifeguard when I got back!), and these days requires QFA quals too, and if I'm gonna hand my business over to someone for 6 months they are gonna need some experience and plenty of courage! The last person I had do my last maternity leave loved it so much she applied for the tender for her own business in a nearby village and won the contract so she's not available now either (but I am happy for her as she was brilliant and deserved a bit of job stability). This woman I am asking tomorrow has all of this. I feel nervous about asking and it's not like me to be this way. Part of me wants to stick my head in the sand and put it off but another part of me thinks she'll get snapped up by someone else and then I will be in big trouble.So tomorrow is D-Day for me. I want to post this so that I will make myself do it. Hopefully I will be back in tomorrow night with great news.:D
Adrienne a previous poster gave good advice- get over to the hospital yourself. My GP is rubbish too even though he does shared care I end up having to watch every little thing cos he forgets. Eg. Was telling consultant on monday week about the severe exhaustion and kinda saying I suppose I just have to grin and bear it and she asked me if I was taking any supplements. I said no and asked why. She said that I had 35 yrs to build up iron stores before My daughter was born and only 2 yrs before this one was conceived. Unless I was taking something to supplement it it would be natural for my iron and therefore energy levels to be low and that this was far more common with second pregnancies than first and how come my GP hadn't told me this at the first visit! Eejit! I got myself some Pregnacare (as per her recommendation - she says I don't need anything stronger) and hey presto I do feel considerably perkier this week. I will be asking the GP about this when I see him again. I won't be holding my breath for a sensible reply!
I had a false labour with My daughterlast time. About 8 hours of it and then it just stopped. (on the sat and I went into full labour on the mon and she was born tues). What IS the difference between braxton hicks and real labour? It felt exactly the same when I went into early labour. How do you know it is just braxton hicks?0 -

Right then. Did it! Wohoo. Feel so liberated. I telephoned the woman and she said she would be interested but only in part-time as she has two small children herself. Now I need to figure out what next. OR rather who else. My husband is sitting his QFA tomorrow and when he passes (we are thinking positively!) he will be technically qualified but would need some training on the practical end. At least I know he wont sod off and decide to become a lifeguard and I don't have to pay him for the time he spends at work while training:D
About the text-speak thing, humble apologies. I think it was on rollercoaster or some other parenting board when I was a newbie that I spotted those and thought them a suitable idea for protecting the identity of a child/husband, but since it is forbidden here I will not use it. I simply did not realise, for that I must apologize profusely.
Husband is sitting his QFA tommorrow and we have quite a lot riding on it. His boss in his current job is a right pain right now buggering off to spain for weeks on end and leaving no one in charge and just giving dogs abuse to everyone on the phone. He sacked a guy today because the guy suggested that he wasn't being paid the JLC rates for the job. The threat of sacking is hanging over everyone's head. My suggestion is that the boss is lazy, absent and negligent and hubby should start his own company and steal all his contracts.;) Much stress today.:rolleyes:
Thought I felt little bubbles in my belly tonight... 16 weeks, I wonder is that too soon?

If your husband does start his own business give us a call. My other half wouldn't mind working for an honest security officer for once!
Don't think 16 weeks is too early, especially for a second pregnancy!!0
