19th October Ladies ... **5 Births Already**

[x-TyMa-x]

Ay2808- did u get an estimated weight of baby at your scan??

 

[katerdid]

William tried to escape...again. I had enough contractions to have to take my Precardia, but I'm still feeling really uncomfortable and although my cramps and contractions have stopped, I have a lot of pressure and am peeing every 30 mins or so. RAWR! I'm really annoyed with this kid. He needs to chillax already.

 

[nypage1981]

He so excited to see you Kate! Lol. Does your doc estimate how long you'll last for?

I am still at a loss about centiles.....my docs havent done any sort of measurement. Sucks, I wanna know if he is big or little. Does what you measure have anything to do with it all? I measured "spot on" last week. Lol. Doesn't tell me much.

 

[katerdid]

Lol nicole, no kidding. He must be a grass is always greener type they don't know how long I'll last, but hopefully I can make it til 35 weeks at least.

I haven't heard anything either. I feel like its a UK thing. All I get is "spot on" as well.

Ladies its September which means .........................

WERE FULL TERM THIS MONTH!!!!

& DUE NEXT!!!!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!!


Kait- That boy is desperate to meet you hehe , glad the contractions have stopped, Give William a good talking too!! xx

Nicole - When you got your 20week scan did u get any measurements written down ie: Head Circumference, Abdo Circumference etc x

Ay2808- did u get an estimated weight of baby at your scan??

oops just realised it was at 31 weeks not 32. I'll do the measurements again. I've got head, abdominal, femure length and estimated weight which was 4lbs 2oz.

oops just realised it was at 31 weeks not 32. I'll do the measurements again. I've got head, abdominal, femure length and estimated weight which was 4lbs 2oz.

So using my scan results:

head circumference - 52nd percentile
abdominal - 64th percentile
femur - 75th percentile
weight - 46th percentile

I'm not sure why the weight has ended up lower in comparison to the other results as I thought they used those to give you an estimated weight?? Anyway, they seem like pretty ok results so nothing to worry about (I was measuring 3 weeks behind and had problems eating/being sick earlier on which is why I was sent for a scan).

And we are officially due next month now..........!!

 

[nypage1981]

Dont think I got any measurements written down ever, no! Lol. They really must not be so interested in that at my clinic? Idk I had never thought of it but now im intrigued. Maybe i'll ask next week how we know how big this boy is. I hope he is not too big, I have lots of cute little clothes

Yay for being due next month! I am shocked that its already september. Yikes. But falltime. Oh I love falltime. This is better than summertime for me! I am going to start googling Apple festivals and orchards and hay rides and haunted houses now! Oh wait, I can't do any fun halloween stuff due to my dumb c section...maybe I could talk this little guy into just coming 2 weeks earlier than october 12th c section. So, total, that would be 3 weeks early. I feel guilty thinking those thoughts with Kate trying to squeeze her little guy in there tightly. Sorry Kate- I dont mean offense.

 

[katerdid]

No worries Nicole! I'm super impatient for him to come out lol....just not until the end of Sept at the earliest. I don't want to wait any longer, but I know he needs his time inside.

 

[nypage1981]

I am praying for you that he stays til october 1st!

 

[Phantom710]

ugh, I have no idea what they were guessing him at at my 23 week scan, and they didn't mention that when I got my 3d one.

Fundal I'm always measuring big... but that's about all i know.

 

[ay2808]

I have a print out from my scans that has been put into
my folder but I guess every area is different. Fundal I've always been measuring small. She must bury herself right into my body!!

 

[katerdid]

This kid has no patience, I swear! Little bugger tried to escape again last night. Precardia stopped the contractions for most of the day, but I had icky cramps and my midwife said to get my behind to L&D. From there I was contracting every 2 mins, then every 4. So I got a lovely terbutaline shot and it stopped them, yay! So now I'm at 2.8cm dilated and guess where bub's head is? -1 station! I knew he had started making his way down...hurts in my bits. Ugh...it's looking like William will be a Sept baby. Naughty lil monkey.

 

[nypage1981]

EEEEK! Where are the cramps when you feel them? I've been feeling a lot of AF kind of crampy lately also and started to worry a bit.....

Glad you have the steroids and everything taken care of...but he would still be in NICU, right? I am both excited and nervous for you! I want your little guy to be all healthy and ready for the world but to stay in there until we say so! You must wait until october, william!

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Hes a little escapee! lol

I really hope he stays in a while longer for you, hes being very naughty!! ..... You may be the 1st of us to have your baby!!

How is everyone else feeling???
