So is that all of us on the iron tablets now

I know Leanne I got a bit if a fright earlier on when I realised how soon term is! The last couple of days I've had a feeling that I might go early again, starting to get so uncomfortable. Ive probably jinxed myself now and will go overdue.

Rose how many weeks were you when you were induced before? I have a friend who had undiagnosed iugr with her son, she was induced at 41+3 but didn't have him until 42. The midwives were actually shocked baby had survived as the placenta was in such bad condition. She is pregnant again and had first midwife appointment last week and has been told she will be induced at 38 weeks regardless of how well baby grows this time.

iPod docking station? That's very upmarket I've got most of my hospital bag packed now but still need to add things to it. There's more in there for baby than there is for me but I've got the essentials like maternity pads, disposable knickers, etc and a nightie to give birth in. Need to wash and pack my dressing gown and slippers and some comfortable clothes but I think I'll do that closer to the time. It is scary that we're nearly at term, it feels like 2 seconds since we were counting down to our 12 week scans!

I'm not on iron tablets, think I must be the only one. I am ridiculously tired but I think it's mainly cos I wake up at least 3 times every night.

I know Leanne it was shocking. It took her quite a while to get over everything and at one point vowed never to have another baby. Thankfully she has got over the trauma and I am so glad they are inducing her early so she won't be so worried this time.

Aw that's lovely, it will be your baby crying in a few weeks! Glad you enjoyed your tour. My hospital had a docking station too and a radio. Had funny memories of getting my spinal put on last time whilst the anaesthetist was dancing about to that duck sauce barbera Streisand song Everytime I hear that song it reminds me of trying to sit still while having contractions!!

I have packed all my toiletries and my slippers and pjs. Baby's bag is totally packed and ready to go, I will probably finish mine next week.

Can I be done now?

Seriously feeling it. I don't mean to complain, as I would go through it all over again, but I am sooooooooo over this! Lol! It is like 4am before I fall asleep every night due to severe heartburn and RLS. I am already carrying around the weight of a full term baby and her movements are getting very painful.
I find out on the 23rd what my c-section date is, and while I want her to stay in as long as she needs I am hoping they will take her closer to term (37wks) then due date. They said they are looking at around 39wks right now which is only 39 days, but 38 sounds a lot better to me! Lol!

Oh I hear you!!!!! Suppose this is our bodies way of getting us ready for sleepless nights considering I haven't slept through the night in a couple of months now :/ just 1 good nights sleep would be a blessing!

I was induced at 39 with first daughter but that was because they didn't spot iugr until late. Second daughter was exactly 38 weeks but i'd been in hospital since approx 34 and a half weeks due to bleeding, I've passed that already, yay! Lol. Going to ask midwife tomorrow if they'll adopt a wait and see attitude or induce anyway, she'll probably say she doesn't know (her standard answer lol) got growth scan on thurs maybe hospital will give me some answers, i'll be 35 +2 then so feel that i'm entitled to know what the plan is. Would also like to see around delivery suite too as i'm pretty sure its changed in 18 years lol, will have to ask midwife about that too. Been having so many stabbing pains again in cervix, not sure whether its her head on a nerve or what, only felt it last time after i'd been induced. Had small amount of clear but with a pink tinge discharge last night after a particularly painful twinge which is something new. God knows whats happening, suppose this is how it'll be now for the last few weeks XxX

Oh that kind of sounds like the beginning of a show :/ I would talk to your midwife or the hospital which ever comes first. And maybe even just give them a call to put your mind at rest x

Seems to be back to normal now, nothing pinky today so far. I'll mention it tomorrow though. Feel like i'm coming down with something too, not been right since yesterday. Firstly i turned down offer of bacon and egg sandwich, not at all like me lol, felt like i did when i was first pregnant again, the thought of it and the smell turned my stomach. Then mark bought me a kfc for tea and i couldn't eat that either. Hope i don't feel like this for too long. Feel like curling up and hibernating for a few weeks lol. On a nice note, best friend bought me a beautiful moses basket round yesterday and rocking stand, its sooo lovely, can't stop looking at it lol XxX

That's great you have gone past that point already Rose. Surely they will be able to give you some answers at your appointment about if and when you might be induced! Hopefully the pink discharge doesn't mean anything. I started getting blood streaked mucousy discharge at about 35 weeks last pregnancy. I went into labour at 38+5 so for me it didn't mean labour was imminent.

I was feeling terrible yesterday, to the point I was nearly phoning midwife. I was getting aching pains in my back radiating round to my stomach giving me period cramps. This went on for a couple of hours then stopped. Had it a couple of times today but not so bad. Just hoping its either bh or baby lying funny. I feel unsettled and so uncomfortable like i did the week running up to my daughters birth so I have a feeling I'm not going to make it to my due date! I have midwife this week so il mention it to her and then il be term a week Wednesday so I hope I at least make it to then!
