Happy Full Term!!!!!!​

--LOL Kerri, that actually IS kinda scary. hahhaa

also check out my ticker. LOL.

Does everyone have a 37 week appointment with doc/midwife this week? Mine is tomorrow. They'll finally check me I think to see if am dilated.

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Lol at your ticker!! My MW appt is friday hun xx

Good luck at yours wonder if your starting to dialate any?? ....... They dont check here untill your in labour, Altho part of me wishes they did cuz at least you would know if you were progressing any.

 

[ay2808]

My mw app is on Monday but I've got a flu jab on Saturday.

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Ive got the flu jab tomorrow i thought i was done with needles!

 

[sam#3]

Ive got a mw appt on mon and she is saying she is sending me for a presentation scan sometime this week 'just to be on the safe side' even though me and her both know cookie is head down :S

I havent had any signs, a few twinges low down but nothing labour-y! I checked my cervix earlier and it is soft but still very high.

I had a really restless night last night thanks to cookie dancing A LOT at 1-2am!!

 

[Phantom710]

My work is doing Flu "jabs" on the 5th, so I guess that's when I'll go in. Although am planning to ask my doctor first to see if he thinks I should wait til after baby. Since I work at a hospital, I'm required to have one, or when I return in January I have to wear a mask on my face all day. LOL.

Kerri- That's weird that they don't check you. You'd think they'd want some idea that you MAY or MAYNOT go into labor tomorrow, you know?

Sam-- I know the feeling, Cody has been way restless the past few nights, just when I get relaed enough to sleep, he wakes up. What a brat. LOL

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Ikno michelle its strange isnt it!! I dont particually want people poking around down there but it would be nice to have an idea of what my cervix is doing.

Thanks girls! We are loving our baby so so much! If you want to see anything on my FB my name is Nicole Page and my avatar is a pic of a baby boy Otherwise let me know if you just want me to put any pics on this thread and I could do that. I posted one on the FB october mummys page also.

Mummy- I saw your question about dropping on FB and interestingly enough, the night that I was having questionable labor, OH happened to take one bump pic in our room and then later when I stood up and was in pain he was like "Whoa, your bump is really low and out right now." So he took another pic with his phone and the difference of a couple hours after labor started was insane. So, it may not happen until labor!

Hope some of us make it til october! Lol. I wanted october baby so freaking bad, but of course he was early!

 

[Phantom710]

Agreed, I'm not super excited about having to have the doc feel around up there, but I guess I'll deal.

I'm getting really nervous now, there is a TINY part of me that wishes I didn't know the exact day. It feels like it's making it all go slower. I keep looking at the clock. Today can't really be only Wednesday morning, can it?

Question for you ladies over in the UK. How do they normally induce you?

For example, my friend was taken in on Monday night for an induction, they made her wait until Tuesday morning (trying to dilate her farther even though she was a 3 already) before they gave her the pitocin. THEN they popped her waters and let her labor.

With me however, I'll be admitted at 7:30 and as soon as I'm dilated enough to stick the hook in, they'll break my waters, only giving me pitocin if I fail to progress after that.

So I don't know which hospital is the "normal" way.

!!!!HAPPY FULL TERM!!!!!!

Aw congrats again Nicole!!!

I refused the flu shot. They were not pleased with me, but I have bad reactions to vaccines and Tim has only gotten the flu once in his whole life, and I haven't gotten it since I was 10 and we both work with people. So I figured we should be safe. Fingers Crossed xxx

 

[Phantom710]

Just got out of my 37 week doctor's appointment. I am 50% effaced but I'm not dilated at all. So...

oh wellllll guess I'll not be having him before the 12th.

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Hey but the cervix can change fast michelle so dont rule it out completley! and your making progress ..... 50% effaced

Everything else ok yeh x

 

[Phantom710]

I hope so. LOL.

oh, forgot to mention my GBS yest came back negative, so that's good

And am only measuring a week big.

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Good Good glad all is ok xx

Dont worry about not being dialated ..... things change fast xx

 

[sam#3]

ooo i had last night and it gave me lots of BH after and again today then i lost some plug tonight - i dont think any of it will lead to anything but im going to jump oh's bones when he finishes work!!!!!!

we did some nesting today - blitzed the kitchen cupboards, cleaned some paint off the walls (thanks kids!!) put up a mirror that needed doing and put cookies crib & buggy together........ soooooooo exciting

I feel like i have constant excited butterflies atm

 

[nypage1981]

Cant wait to see whose next in here! Lol. I am awake at 4 am still from a 2 am feeding. AAAAAAAAAH, what is wrong with this picture! I am losing my mind here. Haha.

 

[ay2808]

Awwww. Hope you're managing to get enough sleep! Nothing new to report here, a manic nesting week now my cold has cleared up. Mw app on Monday and a couple of lunch dates with friends planned for next week. Nothing too strenuous but hopefully enough to keep me going! Have a good weekend everyone!

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Heyy ladies happy October!!!

Hope our 2 new mummies are not too sleepy xx

Well not much to add here, saw MW yesterday ... baby still measures 1 week behind, Also i mentioned that i feel this hard big lump sticking up now and again around the top of my bump ...... she had a good feel and said that shes pretty certain baby is still head down but if i wanted to be extra sure then she would send me for a scan.
So im off for a presentation scan either monday or tuesday shes going to phone me.
PRAYING Baby is head down ...... please keep all your fingers crossed shes not breech x

Im not to give birth tonite as steven is away watching a rugby match and the ground is like 3hrs drive away ...... so legs kept shut tonite!!

 

[Phantom710]

hahah! My mom has ordered me off birth for a week. She won't be here until the 9th. However, she says If i go anytime after today I just have to have a long labor so she can make the drive up here. ......long labor. Bless you mom. LOL

So exciting that it's October!!!

Kerri-- my baby is for sure heads down, and i have a big hard lump up on top of my bump as well. SOOOOOOOO I'm sure you'll be fine.

Can't wait to see U/S pics though.
