My 33rd Week
has been full of bad news that has left me very disappointed. Firstly, my midwife
told me that due to the SPD (I recently wrote up a post on SPD, click HERE to read it) and Sciatica, I will not be able to give birth in
my local midwife run birth centre. Instead, I’m planned to give birth in the
Labour ward. I gave birth to my wild child in the Labour ward and as much as
the service provided to me was fantastic, I found the overall atmosphere very
appalling. Two midwives argued in front of me and one made the other cry! I was
scared enough just from being there in the delivery room knowing I’M GOING TO
HAVE A BABY! But, too top it off I had to experience a very emotional quarrel between
the people that are supposed to be delivering my baby!
Initially, when I found
out I was pregnant this time round I didn’t think I had much of a chance to
give birth in the birth centre as I considered myself to be high-risk due to
the Joint Hypermobility Syndrome and my frequent black-outs/faints. So I was
prepared to have my unborn sprog in the labour ward until my midwife told me
that the Joint Hypermobility Syndrome and Black-outs aren’t considered as
high-risks and I will be able to give birth in the birth centre. Thus, I’ve
been planning to give birth in the birth centre and I’ve been overjoyed about
it as the reviews for the birth centre are remarkable and outstanding. Well
overjoyed until earlier this week when my midwife said that due to severity of
the SPD and Sciatica I won’t be able to give birth in the birth centre. So,
that’s the first bit of news that’s left me disappointed this weekL.
The second bit of news
that’s left me disappointed in my 33rd Week is that I can’t co-sleep
with my baba once it’s born! Oh, I feel like cryingL. If you’ve read my post on
Co-Sleeping then you’d know how much co-sleeping means to me (if you haven’t
read the post and would like to read it click HERE). I’m being told that due to
the medication I’m on it wouldn’t be safe for me sleep with the baby! I don’t
disagree with the notion and I’m not upset over it because nothings more
important than the safety of my children but I’m just disappointed with my
whole situation itself!
Next up is my new stand
mixer that I was given as a present. Oh how I was looking forward to having a
stand mixer! The last few years I’ve been coping with a hand mixer and it didn’t
do my arms any good. But just for the love of baking I put up with swollen
elbows, subluxating shoulders, stiff fingers etc. So, when I unwrapped my
present and saw a stand mixer you can guess I was over the moon! But, the thing
is unbelievably rubbish! It wouldn’t even cream butter and sugar together
properly! Now, if that shouldn’t leave me disappointed then how should it leave
me?
So, yes I’ve been
feeling disappointed most of the week and maybe the disappointment has been
emphasised due to the physical pain I’ve been feeling this week. Despite
feeling disappointed, I am very pleased as I only have six weeks till my due
date and I hope my little sprog debuts on time.
As for my unborn sprog,
he/she is growing fine and my bump is the “perfect size” according to the
midwife. My unborn sprog is also getting ready to make an entrance as he/she is
already in the correct position (head down).
My wild child has become
more impatient than me for this baby to come out. I hear “WHEN WILL THE BABY
COME OUT???” at least twice a day. Cute but very annoying!!!
Well, that’s my 33rd
Week which I’m very disappointed with! How was/is yours??
Until next time,
