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....!!

    • That's fantastic news. Good on him. 
    • I pass here almost every day and have never seen the local business struggle to load. There's plenty of space as things are.    Seems to me this is just the meddling council being ****heads yet again. These are their reasons: "BAWDALE ROAD Goose Green add a total of 35m new 'DYLs' on both sides south-east of its junction with Lordship Lane (22m on the side of No. 157 Lordship Lane, 3m o/s No. 2 Bawdale Road, and 10m opposite No.2 Bawdale Road) to protect access for large vehicles coming to collect from and deliver goods to the nearby businesses"   Consultation here: https://consultation.appyway.com/southwark/order/1c3a8926-8f51-47e1-8460-2727fec6d895  
    • The next Dulwich Hill SNT meeting is on Weds.11th June 2025 5pm at Christ Church Batty Road. Open to all Dulwich Hill Ward residents and businesses. It is realised that 5 pm is not suitable for everyone, but even when held at 7 pm. some people complained that it was children's bath/bed times and wanted it earlier/later. When later times were proposed, there were still complaints- not able to get babysitters/did not want to go out/return home in the dark!. Times are always not going to be convenient for some people. These meetings are held quarterly and are very informal. They give everyone a chance to meet the local team and exchange views/concerns relating to crime/anti social behaviour etc.
    • If it is, it’s highly poisonous according to the Wildlife Trusts. https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/wildlife-explorer/wildflowers/black-bryony
