| 25-2-2009 - SO P****D OFF!!! |
My mood while writing this blog: Upset |
Just had an unexpected home visit from my Midwife. Despite taking these stupid iron pills + cramming so much bloody broccoli into my system, my levels have dropped even more. She just broke the news to me that I won't be able to deliver at the Unit I had hoped to. I am sitting here just crying my eyes out + seriously can't stop!! I'm sure the hormones are making everything seem 10x worse but I just feel so let down. They took my bloods at 28 weeks + didn't bother to let the Midwife know that I was under with my iron until 35 weeks!!! The most annoying thing is that my levels are now 9.9 + the acceptable level for delivering at the Unit is 10..how picky!!!
So I've just been given an information leaflet for the hospital in the city that I am now having to go to. No 1:1 care and a single birthing pool to share with shit loads of other women, so being in the water for pain relief isn't going to happen. I just feel like everything has been ruined.

Thursday, 26 Feb I would call the midwife and talk to her again and ask her in ncomplete details why you can't deliver there if your blood iron is 9.9 and to deliver there you need to be min. 10 I would ask her and maybe she would let you know in a better understanding way, I mean I know it isn't going to change things of you being upset unless you were to get to deliver there but at least you would understand alittle bit more, or maybe she will change her mind and let ya I don't know I would ask her if you could be given another chance at rasing your iron and see what she says.....don't stop fighting for your right theres time yet woman...you look and sound like a fighter so call her and talk to her and let me know what she says andriette and christians mummy liz -

Wednesday, 25 Feb Aww you poor thing. What an absolute bugger that they tell you NOW that you can't go where you've been wanting to go to have the baby. I suppose they 'think' they're doing the right thing for you and the baby but still, i think it is worth asking to be tested again if they'll allow it.
You take care of yourself....have a good cry and get it out. The hormones will be playing a big part in how you're feeling at the mo' but its also justifiable that you're really annoyed.

Wednesday, 25 Feb Hey you, i'm so sorry your so upset. I can't type much as my wrists are in agony. But your in my thoughts...damn bloody hospitals over here are a pain in the frekin ars.
Just think you need to do whatever is best for the baby and you, and sometimes we get things so perfect in our mind that that is waht disappoints us..keep positive hun i know its hard. But make the best of the situation.....higher a pool that you can blow up in the room and soak in it and make the other mommies jealous! gemzc -
Wednesday, 25 Feb Poor u! I can soo understand why your upset. I guess as hard as it is to see it now it's best for you and the baby. I'm sure you'll feel better in a day or two. Just look forward to holding your little bubba. Won't be long now until you are holding he/she. I'm so bumed today. Today is the baby's duedate and am so sick of sat here waiting. I've had a million calls from people checking and it's so frustrating as I just want to have the baby. I've got to the point where I'd readily be induced if they'd let me, lol. take care mysurprise -
Wednesday, 25 Feb I would have them retest you again if you don't go into labor by your next appt. You're soooo close, I don't understand why she is giving you a thumbs down. Good Luck, your baby will be a healthy baby no matter how he/she comes into this world :o) sccrj17 -
