A bloody big scare...

**riffer** · 11th October 2004, 12:29

Got to work this morning at 7.45.

Gini rings me at 8.45 - "Help, I tried to lift that wood you left in the back of the car and something went rip and it doesn't feel good and I can't feel the baby... you have to come home NOW and take me to the hospital!"

Aaaargh!

Straight into the bike gear and off down the motorway cursing the fact that my 80 demerits mean I have to ride at the speed limit.

Pick up Tim from kindy, and off to the hospital as quick as a scared pregnant woman in pain will let me drive (which isn't very fast)

We got to the hospital and after 3 hours, including an internal exam "But Dad, I want to watch! Why do I have to sit here with you..." the doctor announces she thinks Gini has pulled a muscle down below.

We wait alf an hour for the midwife to come and check everything is okay. It takes her a good ten minutes until she finds baby's heartbeat, while Gini and I are getting VERY concerned...

So, I'm back at work now, Gini's at home (hopefully relaxing) and I've achieved NOTHING workwise today.

*sigh*

This kids not even born yet and already its stressing me out...

Glad to hear things turned out not as bad as they sounded C6,

A couple of points: (1) Next time get ambo there because (2) they won't have to worry about the demerits and will have all the right gear already with them. - which brings me to point (2a) - don't go getting so many demerits, you never know when you might need them up your sleeve!!

Ooooch. We had a similar episode while Jacob was still Inside. It's a big worry.

Glad nothing major appears to be going wrong. What the hell was Gini doing lifting a load out of the back of the car, anyway? I bet you've told her not to do that stuff in the past. You obviously need to beat her more, she's not paying attention...

As a 'medical' callout, that would set you back $70, unless you're a member of the St John Society (which I highly recommend).

Yeah - good, innit? We joined up years ago, and fortunately have required it only twice. But even if it did cost $70, it's probably cheaper than traffic tickets and demerits.

Glad to hear everything's OK, celtic. Hope you have no more scares like that.

Personally, I like to think that my time on KB inspires me to new, er, heights of professional genius. And stuff.

Yeah fair call. Its because I have a huge scanning camera that takes 15 minutes a scan so there's nothing to do but sit and wait.

However, its all going to change. I finish up here on Thursday.

Going to work at Learning Media as a production/print coordinator so will be VERY busy. Might have to do KB in the evenings. That'll be a hassle.

I leave work at 16:00 usually and get on KB at 19:30-20:00, and theres usually about 150 posts to catch up on. I'd hate to think what there is in a whole day.

My average should be dropping so there'll be less from now on
