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

[katerdid]

Yeah, I just looked it up says:

4/5 palpable means that only a fifth of the head has entered the pelvis, so it has not yet engaged....
Imagine your pelvis is in 5 sections and 4/5 head down means the baby's head is in 1/5th of your pelvis.

Ok, it makes sense if you think about it that way.

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Thats it yeh, the MW said shes no longer "Free" which means shes started to drop into the pelvis, but not fully engaged ..... she also said 2nd babies can pop in & out untill labour starts, But tonight is the 1st night where my bump has looked like its actually dropped a bit, and its soo sore, my whole bump is sore feels bruised all along the top of it

Aha! A diagram! Yay for pictures! So 5/5 is -5, 4/5 is -4, and so on. So I'd be 0/5 then?

I bet it's sore! I know mine is...and my poor hips. These kids - they better be freaking cute after all the pains we go through for them

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Ahhhhh! haha yay for diagram!


Ikno hun, lol you would think something as natural as reproduction, pregnancy & birth.... what our bodies are built to do it would be alot easier & less painful haha x

[katerdid]

Well Ladies. I've decided to MAKE myself nest. hehehe

so far have cleaned the master bath sink/counter and toilet. I'm exhausted.

I've written myself up a list. breaking the house down to what is gonna be cleaned this weekend and the next two weekends. So hopefully, house will be ready before 38 weeks.

side note--- DH's b-day today. So i've also baked a cheesecake and am going to make his favorite dinner. I might starve to death before he gets off though. hehe. 6 more hours!!

 

[katerdid]

Good idea with the lists. I'm a firm believer in 'em. It always feels so good to cross things off, doesn't it?

Happy birthday to your hubby! yummm....cheesecake. That's my DH's favorite dessert!
I know how you feel about waiting for food. We have steaks thawed in my fridge and I have to wait til he gets home. I think I've eaten everything in the whole house but those steaks

 

[Phantom710]

I know! and every time i open the fridge i have the cheesecake chilling so can smell that. AHHH

 

[katerdid]

Oh, that's the worst. I can never wait on sweets that have to set up in the fridge. There's usually a small bite (or 2) already in it when it's time for dessert lol.

Morning sickness at this stage...... surely thats just taking the p a wee bit!!!!! Bleugh!

I have started making myself nest too i have blitzed the kitchen & shower room so far but i have a massive urge to clear out the boys room and all their toys so maybe its starting to kick in a bit

 

[sam#3]

Ahhhhh! haha yay for diagram!

[Phantom710]

He was having a good old wriggle about in there wasnt he, My lil one was doing this thismorning too......... its crazy you can see little bumps sticking out all over hehe xx

Lovely video x

 

[nypage1981]

I just hate when he pushes out really really hard while im walking at work (in a hospital) so it hurts and makes my tummy look all weird and hard to walk!

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Sometimes when im laying on my side she pushes out hard and it kinda feels like my skin is being trapped between her & the bed ........ feels really uncomfortable and odd haha xx

35 weeks tomorrow ladies ......... 2 weeks till term xx

 

[nypage1981]
