Everyone was so kind when i was panicking about possible hospitalisation with a transverse baby, I guess an update is due!


Baby wa sturned to head down by ECV and despite dour predictions he would flip back, follow up scans have showed him staying head down. We met with the hospital midwives (inc head of the postnatal ward who is confident it has improve dbeyond all recognition, for anyone worried) to agree a plan in case I did end up there.... but all seemed oin track for homebirth.


Until Friday (just short of 39w) when I developed stomach pains, temperature and felt really ill... MW came and baby's heart was racing. Spent a few hours at the MAU and got admitted overnight to the labour ward for IV fluids and monitoring.... dx as some sort of virus.... same home Sat after agreeing to go back Sunday for more monitoring 9all fine!) and a final growth scan today (all fine!) so now we are back, as we were, waiting and hoping for a homebirth and no more complications...


EDD is Sunday.


I think it's the only homebirth ever amongst haematology patients (I had a DVT in pg no 1 and have a blood clotting disorder) but all the drs seems OK about it, or at least, they know better than to argue....!!

    • Pickup your dogs shit off the street, it's so simple. Don't own a dog if you cannot do this basic service. Pathetic. Cleaning my shoes of dog shit for the 2nd time this month. What's going on? 
    • Hi SpringTime, I completely understand the concern for protecting birds, but using bells on cats is a bit more complicated. While they may reduce hunting success, they're not always effective & can cause stress for some cats, who are highly sensitive to sound. A better solution is to ensure cats are kept indoors during peak bird activity & providing plenty of enrichment at home to satisfy their hunting instincts. There's a terrible misconception that cats do not require as much mental & physical enrichment as dogs do. But they do, if not more so.
    • But we can train them to kill the foreign invaders, green sqwaky things, and the rats with feathers 
    • Hi Nigello, Many spayed/neutered & microchipped cats actually don't wear collars, as they often go missing & can pose risks.  Microchipping is far more reliable for reuniting lost cats with their guardians. Some of our clients even keep sacks of collars on standby because their cats frequently return without them - a comical but telling example of how impractical collars can be. A major contributor to unspayed/unneutered cats & kittens is purchasing from breeders, where these measures are often overlooked. Adopting from shelters, on the other hand, ensures all precautionary steps - like spaying/neutering, microchipping, as well as vaccinations - are already in place.
