HUGE hugs maybe - could you phone the school and request a phonecall from his teacher or a seperate meeting?? Might be worth trying - DS1 was a VERY slow speaker he couldnt even ask to use the loo when he started in f1 at 3.5 he only said mummy when he was 2.5 and just very slow at communicating in general - i was convinced he was autistic and even now although he is clever he finds it hard to convey what he is thinking - his mind works faster than his ability to speak. He is a kooki little dude and i think possbily on a very low spectrum of austism but he has caught up - this year at school he started behind and all of a sudden something clicked his reading is outstanding now, he still struggles with his writing but oh my he has outdone himself. He is so lovely and placid and has an amazing imagination I still worry as i think he will struggle later with bullying etc but just to give you hope that sometimes it takes a while for things to fall into place - he also has lots of problems with ears nose and throat too!!!
Indigo - homebirths are amazing :D i had one with ds3 it was fantastic - you are best if you want to try one to let your mw know asap and they can book you in and give you a home visit at 37wks. It is so relaxing to be at home before and after the birth no messing around, it isnt messy at all - you will need a shower curtain and some old towels but literally I had no mess other than wet towels from my waters being popped as ds3 was born in the membranes. The mw popped my towels in the machine for me, they take the placenta with them, make you tea, make sure you get washed and changed etc and once all sorted leave to enjoy your baby! I have quick labours i rang in at 5pm my MW arrived just after 5.30 had ds3 at 6.30!!! Only one mw as the other didnt make it in time but she was amazing barely knew she was there. By 9pm we were sat on the sofa with ds3 asleep between us eating a wagamama takeout :D have booked in for a homebirth again!! ds1 is going to be there too!!! If everyone makes it in time scared this one will be even quicker!!
Right i should go try and sleep am shattered but i dont think i will be able to :( busy day tomorrow too and realised i dont even have any nappiesfor baby yet -god i am crap!! Better go get some!
much love to all x x

oh and maybe my FIL is shite too x ds3 asked "who dat" to a photo the other day DH said its grandad...."noooooo" said ds3 "yes it is grandad you just never see him!!!"
-
Thanks Charlie. I think ds2 could be in the autistic spectrum but it's the not knowing for sure and not knowing how to help. Fil has nothing to offer I have to think about it like that

Homebirths are a bit of a PITA to organise here I think. I've read that they're quite open to them in the UK. My MIL had a homebirth with DS4 and as far as I know all the kids were there - DH was only about 3 and MIL says he was right up close and fascinated in the whole thing!!
At the moment I'm looking forward to the 2 nights in hospital - here you get 2 nights for a vaginal birth and 4 nights for a caesar. I'm hoping to get some sleep - I'm ALWAYS the one who gets up in the night to sort out the boys :) You only share with one other lady and baby so its not too bad.
No sign of baby still - 39 weeks today! Its mad to think I'm only a week off my due date!!! But DS2 is still really poorly - really want him better. Taking him to doctors today as he didn't sleep again last night and want to rule out anything serious with baby due. He cried every hour and needed settling - so I was up every hour all night. So I am TIRED! Sods law I will go into labour today when I can't cope I'm so tired.
maybe - sorry to hear you have a crap FIL. Mine is crap too but he is the opposite - over-interested and constantly undermines me with the boys! Family hey! I'm learning lots about what not to do as an in-law! :)
Charlie - You'll probably have your bubba before me! :)
Maybepink is due same time as me so we'll have to watch out for her too....
-
Its a race to the line LOL
HUGS for your DS hope the doctor can help its horrid when they are poorly for so long x maybe he has an infection?? DS1 would never tell me if anything hurt and would be ill for ages then it would turn out he had a throat infection or an ear infection!!
Been awake since 5am only got to sleep about 1am today is going to be looooooooong got loads on too! Meeting with therapist (she is sweet but crap all she wants me to do is tell everyone its a boy - which i wont do god even typing it reminds me and i think OUCH) then a party at lunchtime and I also need to go get nappies!! And then we are going round to see my SIL for the boys dinner - think she will tell me to leave them there but ds3 is a handful! Also she has just been left by her husband so she probably doesnt need my 3 being monkeys........
Hoping the washing machine people ring today to arrange delivery Come ON then baby can come ;)
-
Pinga hope all is better soon. Poor you being up all night when your so close to giving birth. Is dh there to help? The hospital over there sounds great! Remind me why you want to come back - lol! Mind you I'm watching a series on great olmand street and the nhs can be amazing - some times. My mil is a pita but better that than fil and his total lack of interest. Dh also didn't answer his phone last night as he never does when drinking. I don't even know the name of his hotel. I'm mad at him too now but course can't see he's done wrong. Lack of sleep is not helping.
Charlie sorry the counciling isn't helping. I really hope it all clicks into place after the birth. Hugs xxx

Hmm ideas on how we arrange our meet up off the public forum? Sorry reading some posts on here reminds me the net isn't safe and were taking our kids
-
oh hun x hope he apologises and makes it up to you when he gets home x men just dont get it do they?! Imagine if we did that!!!!
Kind of glad as today my therapist said i think we can really go any further so is stopping our appointments which suits me - i will be referred to a PND thing after he (eeeek i hate even typing that) arrives. Am so bloody tired havnt sat down but fx i will be sooooo tired i will sleep through being uncomfy!!!
