Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

You don't find out at much at the first gp appt, more at the 12 week scan. The gp just asks what hospital/consultant you want, offers a bit of advice on that if needed, and tells you the appointment will come in the post. If you can go easily and your partner wants you to then do, but don't be going to trouble with work etc to make it there, it's quite dull
I was blue in the face telling my husband he didn't have to come to the repeat 12 week scan at 15 weeks, but he went and rearranged work and had a whole hooha to be there when there was no need, I'd nearly have preferred if he has just left me to it, especially as he is the identifiable one in our couple in the small town we live in! So do whatever she wants you to do, if she wants you to go go, if she wants to go alone let her at it

Thanks yeah it's this evening after work and i'll be picking her up to bring her anyways so kinda makes sense. Asked if she'd rather go on own but she doesn't mind so think I'll go in with her .0 -

I was in the Rotunda last week and they had a toilet on the second floor (that's the maturity floor, right?), one side for staff and the other a unisex I think. The door and partition looked like they were thrown together by a handy man, did the job though!
Can't believe how close it's getting, 4 1/2 weeks at the most, can't believe it!!
Second floor is labour and delivery to the left of the lift and NICU/Ultrasound and day unit to the right 0 -

Place is a maze! I went right out the lift, left at the double doors that you need to be buzzed into, then right, then left and the toilet is just on the left before the ward...
Just in case anyone is looking
The double doors where you need to be buzzed in is the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Yeah that would be where the day ward and ultrasound unit is down that way. Makes sense to have one there too really because men waiting with their parents for ultrasounds.0 -
We're actually in Drogheda, where they've loads of toilets , but had to transfer to Rotunda for a few days as they had no special care units and we thought the little fella was gonna come early.
It was quite a scare but we're 34 weeks tomorrow and he seems to have calmed down, so here's hoping he stays put for another while 0 -

Yeah sadly there's not much you can do to help. During early labor she will want to be siting up or standing for the contractions. Let her use you for balance and keep offering water. I had a face spray and she loved that.
Also, get a TENS machine. Absolutely a must!
We had a TENS machine, and the missus ripped it off after a couple of minutes... it was "too annoying" for her
Also, be prepared to feel utterly useless! and for every single thing you do or say to be the wrong thing!! 0 -

Yeah had the same experience with the tens machine, was glad we had only borrowed and not bought one. It does seem to work for some women though?0 -

Depends if the baby is breastfed or not....

What's lead feeding? Baby cptmackey is being breast Fed and is starting to feed more often. Tends to be routing for the breast a lot now.
Between that and the nappy changes we are kept busy
Little raskel always pees too when I change the nappy lol0 -

Heya, if your OH is breastfeeding she is probably feeding on demand which is exactly right and exactly what she should be doing (if there are no other issues). Feeding on demand (or baby lead/whenever baby wants it) Is really tough and exhausting but it's usually the way breast fed babies are fed. It's not really the same for bottle fed babies who for example will get a bottle religiously every 3-4 hours. With feeding on demand, your OH could be feeding every hour or every 2-3 hours. It's whenever the baby wants it. And it's great because the milk supply will adjust to whatever the baby wants. Congratulations . 0 -
