2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

[apreslaube]

Startd. I overdid it this week too i worked 9 hour days sunday to Friday and went in for a couple hours today. I'm salary lol. There's just so much to do before maternity leave. I think I've decided to go on leave a week before my due date. It's on a Thursday so I'm definitely going to have the Friday before be my last day at the latest. It's just too much.

Does anyone else get sharp pains at the cervix when walking? I only walk a short distance and it starts. Annoying!

 

[Charmed86]

I get that! I swear, it feels like Oliver's head is bouncing on my cervix!! It really takes my breath away. Ouch!

I think I've been getting braxton hicks. In my hospital notes it says I was having some uterine activity but wasn't complaining of any discomfort.. Then the day before yesterday, I was getting some really strong pains in my side. It was either BH or round ligament pain, but I'd not over stretched or was even walking anywhere. Can you get one sided BH??

I'm so tired.. My hip woke me up a lot in the night & now it's 7am & I can't get back to sleep.

Has anyone got any plans for today?

Yes I get the stabby cervix a lot... I think lo is head butting it! I can't walk much at all now but it happens when I'm upright. So painful xx

Luckily I'm at home and have my open uni to finish which is quite hard with all the pains but I can do bits as and when I am able. Thank goodness I went overboard getting baby things earlier on when I could still manage to get around!

Not much on today my sons friend had a sleepover so will need to drop him off at some stage.

Ahh just noticed 34 weeks is butternut squash lol how cute xx

Stabby cervix pains are round ligament, some of the ligaments in the belly are attached right about there.

At this point I just assume every pain and discomfort in my body is baby related and that as long as it isn't severe everything's fine There's too much to worry about otherwise.

YES! It almost feels like a sharp pinching sensation. It is very, very annoying. Are you carrying low too?

Well 2 weeks ago I started my NST and weekly appointments to monitor my twins. Last Monday I started having contractions which continued on and off through out the week. Thursday they lasted for 12 hours every 8-10 minutes. Had my ultrasound appointment on Friday where my BP was higher than it's been my whole pregnancy. So they sent me to the hospital to be monitored. It never went high enough to admit me so I was sent home to relax and do nothing all weekend. It is still higher than normal, but better than Friday's readings. My boys heart rates are good, and they measure 4lbs 3 oz and 4lbs 1 oz. NST on Tuesday. Contractions seemed to have stopped yesterday.

The joys of pregnancy!

My cervix pains dont feel like head butts.. It feels like he has his hand or foot down there playing with it.. Which might be the case because baby is transverse

 

[apreslaube]

Yeah carrying low!

 

[tallybee]

Carrying low here too x

 

[startd]

DoubleTFun - glad the contractions have stopped. Rest up!

I think my belly has dropped again. Will be interesting to see what the OB says at this week's appointment

 

[Twag]

to all your ladies that have such worrying times at the moment - you are in my thoughts

30 weeks and finally 10 week countdown

 

[craquinette]

Oh wow! I hope everything turns out all good for those having issues!! That's not fun! But it's good that you're being monitored and taken care of.

34 weeks here! 4 weeks left at work, 6 weeks until due date! This is crazy!!

Would love to see your bumps! Il upload one later x

 

[Dark_Star]

No longer in the hospital
I've had regular contractions now for 8 days without stop. I've been sent home until Wednesday morning on bedrest to await changes. No dilation yet although the cramps have gotten more intense.

 

[GingerPanda]

Good to hear, Dark Star!


AFM, they're doing doppler studies and a biophysical profile on me and Luci at the hospital tomorrow afternoon. The results of those tests will determine where we go from here as far as how soon I'll be induced.

 

[tallybee]

That's good dark star xx

Ginger sending lots of hugs and positive vibes to u xx

DH and I had our hospital tour yesterday, first baby for the both of us (we've only gone to the hospital to visit friends and family) and it was informative...best to know now because it puts me at ease and hopefully him too lol!
