Adding some blue to this girl heavy thread as we found out today we are having baby boy number 3! Burst into tears and can’t really work out how I’m feeling (think overwhelmed as it’s our last over disappointed about it not being a girl as I’d never be disappointed as my boys are absolutely lush and SO different) but just chuffed and lucky he’s still looking lovely and healthy and so excited to have a full on club of boys. 
I didn’t realise that switching between the two would be such a problem you’d need admitted, I’m sure that’s a bit very fun possibility
fingers crossed he cuts it out and just chooses one or the other. Either way it sounds like you will almost certainly be getting a section date on Monday xBy the way had a gobshite of a student midwife in with us. Midwife asked baby’s name and the student midwife was like ‘Finn’s a naughty boy name!’ And our midwife was like ‘no it’s not it’s cute!’ My husband was raging. Said afterwards ‘surely rule number 1 of midwives is not to comment on names!’
Also the student midwife spoke over the midwife and said to us ‘oh he’ll turn I’m sure. Only 2% of babies don’t turn so don’t worry. You’ll be birthing this baby.’ And our midwife said ‘no I’m not so sure because he’s never been head down.’ I think she was driving the midwife a bit insane, talking over her and speaking out of turn.

there is nothing I hate more than cocky students nurses/midwives. They are absolutely dangerous!
naughty boys name? Get in the sea.
im in a FOUL mood today
I was just about to take my ‘haha’ reaction off the previous post then, just in case I offended youAh no way! That’s my eldest son’s name!!!
Just kiddingthat’s bloody horrendous!
I had a student midwife in when I had my GTT in June.
She meant well and did what she needed to do..but if she had called me “sweetheart/petal/love/darling” one more time my head would have popped off if she was 20yrs old that’s all she was!
(This makes me sound like a radgie old lady - swear I’m only 31)

)I had a student midwife on my booking appointment who gave me severe bruising (a big green/black bruise that spread across the inside of my arm for about 2 weeks) taking blood. The midwife kept trying to direct her as she was pulling the needle about all over the place and she was like “I’m doing that already” and then finished and said “that was perfect” to the midwife. The midwife didn’t look impressed
Hi Ladies
I’m not sure how to write this or what to say but I’ll be leaving this thread. We haven’t had good news and Baby N isn’t going to survive so I am having surgery on Wednesday.
I wish you all the luck in the world and thank you for being the most supportive people who live in my phone.
Hopefully I’ll be back at some point xx

I’m so so sorry to read this. Sending all my love and strength - we are here if you need us xxx
I'm so sorry to hear this. Look after yourself
When baby is transverse or switching around there’s a risk of a cord prolapse if you were to go into labour and the cervix started opening and that would be really dangerous so they monitor you and get baby out immediately at any sign of labour. I’m currently sat trying to decide what books to take in with me if I am admitted to hospital cause two weeks in hospital sounds boring as fuuuuck!I didn’t realise that switching between the two would be such a problem you’d need admitted, I’m sure that’s a bit very fun possibility
Sending you lots of love xx
I’m so sorry. I hope your ok. Sending lots of love to you and Mr Neo. If you ever need to talk everyone is here xxx
I’m so so sorry. Sending you love. We are all here for you and thinking of you xxxx
Oh I’m so sorry to hear this! You sound so strong, I really hope you’re okay. Don’t feel like you can’t check back in here if you need to talk to anyone. Sending all the hugs and love
@Neo2021 I’m so so sorry, sending all my love and strength to you 
Especially with covid visiting
that makes sense about the cord, my sister actually got her cord wrapped round her neck in utero and she was lucky to survive.I am so sorry to hear your devastating news. Much love to the Neo family, I’m so sorry for your loss.
Oh lord that first sentence gave me a minor heart attackAh no way! That’s my eldest son’s name!!!
Just kidding
I thought it was such a horrendous suggestion I’d be safe posting as surely no one would have picked that!This is why I haaaaate working with students at work! Sometimes you get a real gem and they do all the work and I get to sit down and have a cup of tea and supervise from a distance. But sometimes they think they know it all, dismiss my years and years of experience and then say dumb tit and you’re left wondering wtf to say next to make up for it
