Hey i remember worrying about all these things when I was pregnant, particularly when you have someone close who has had such a terrible tragedy. My closest friends baby died during labour. But what you should focus on is that 999 babies out of 1000 are fine, one of the girls on here her baby was born at 30 weeks under 2 lbs and she is doing brilliantly. Keep talking to us here, we have all been through these last few weeks and understand how stressful it is.

Hey lovely I think all of your worries are perfectly normal with all the difficulties you are experiencing, but as Kat says, the chances of any of them happening are very slim. How have you been the last few days? Is the sun shining where you are? x

Hi guys,
Chaos looms again! But yes its been sunny and very cozy.
Bad afternoon ysterday. I had a day pottering about with the boys in the garden. Didnt really so much of anything. Sat down and planted some flowers and not much of anything else. Was very sore by the time I'd been to the horses. felt so ill I could hardly drive home. My parents were here to fix a fence so they stayed to give the boys supper and then dress them for bed, so all I had to do was bed them. Michael wasnt home till after 10.30, by that time I'd fallen asleep. The faint feeling was getting on top of me. I woke this morning feeling sore, crampy and generally sick and faint. The boys were playing up to annoy me as usual lol. Managed to contain them long enough to watch the F1 and then start to tidy etc. But it all went downhill from there. I felt terribly faint and cramping. Ended up phoning the midwives unit, who basically said I'd be better off getting checked in hosp. But since its baby 4 and i'm aware of real labour etc if i wasnt keen then to go to doc in morning. I am alaone with the kids awagin. With my parents busy with my grandparents in homes etc and his parents being difficult. I couldnt possbibly go to hosp. She reccomended a bath and a lie down for a few hours. Michael managed to get his mum round so I could go for a bath. She was not impressed about it an as soon as i got out of the bath she was on the phone to be collected. Telling me she was too tired to be here she needed a lie down! so that was the lie down screwed. I put the littlest one for a nap and got a seat on the sofa while we watched Ben 10 and some disney rubbish witht he other 2. They are now bedded and finally all settled so I just need to wait till michael comes home and I make his tea and go to bed. I'll call the doc 2moro, I've got a bad headache and my eyes hurt so I'm not hanging around online. Just needed to let off steam!
Thankyou tho guys for the support. I'm not sure about the induction. They mentioned doing a sweep at 37 weeks but nothin too serious as i wasnt keen on it. it just draws out the labour and unless i'm already in hosp I'm not keen on being induced. I'd rather be at home and go on my own, that way its no long streches in hosp and its also difficult for michael to get time off to be with me. I wasnt aware of the help you were talkng about Monica, but I will have a look into that. I was told the only way to get actual non paid for help is thro the social work. I'm not at all keen on that. My friend id a childminder and she says social work stay on your record for 4 years. But without any other help, whats the alternative? I'd like to try to get by without it. Its only another 15 weeks and I'm at 37 so things will be moving along by then. Another 3 months isnt that long really. The weeks do pass quickly.
I'm off for a lie down, thanks guys ure all wonderful! Be in the nut house without you!! xx

Hey Sm
Yeah home start are good. But what worries you about social workers and being on your record? Ask me two years ago, and they would have scared me stupid. But, I have been very surprised by all the services we have been engaged with since I have had pni, it's turned out to be a positive experience as a main, and I have found the child services nothing but supportive.
Good luck on the labour and let us know if he or she comes.
Kat
