Oh Geordiemoo, me too! Still keep hoping baby wants to come early, have way too any aches and pains, finding it taking its toll mentally . Want baby to be here safe and sound....

I'm desperately hoping baby doesn't attempt to budge before, it's measuring above 97th centile so I'm worried about shoulder dystocia. Hoping that it will wait for the elective section as an emergency cs, frightens the life out of me. Can't wait now though, countdown is definitely on.

That's why I'm getting an elective c section as my daughter had a shoulder dystocia and it was honestly a terrible experience for both of us and my partner. She was 9lb2. Apparently this baby is on the large side of normal, so if he had wanted to come before now, I would've been willing to try natural labour, but it's too late now. I'm not risking me or baby's life (it really was that bad first time).
 
I'm starting to wish they'd offered me an elective c section. Oliver was measuring at 6lbs 1oz at 34wks & my MW today was so certain that he's at least 8lbs now! I don't have another growth scan until my induction now at 38wks & I'm so nervous. His head was measuring at 97th centile & stomach 95th centile at 34wks :( I asked the diabetic consultant if I should be worried & she said no, as long as he doesn't get to 9lbs! But I won't know without a scan! I'm quite petite in that area, so I've no idea if I'll even be able to birth him safely. Every time I bring it up with a MW or consultant though, they brush me off. When I say petite.. I mean, my GP has had issues giving me a pelvic exam before because even the smallest speculum was too big for me! It took a long, long time before I was able to DTD with DH. It was very painful for a long time :( My induction is in 2wks & I only see my MW once before then. No more diabetic scans or hospital appointments at all.
 
Well I'm back in the hospital now with a post surgical infection in my Csection. I knew I felt terrible but I thought that was the norm after pre-eclampsia and a twin c section. The public health hurse visited today and noticed that I had high bp and a fever and sent me in to the ER. Hoping I won't be admitted. They have just given me some iv antibiotics
 
Oh Darkstar, that's awful. Is hubby at home with the babies? Hope they can give you antibiotics and you can get home x

Charmed, I wish I was able to say sthg constructive....you are getting another scan though and I'm sure they would spot any further probs....if you go into labour just discuss your concerns with medical professionals and they will keep it in mind as they help you progress.
 
Oh no Darkstar! I hope they dont have to admit you. Hopefully they can get this infection under control quick and Im sure you will start feeling much better if they do! :hugs:

Sofia was born today at 37 weeks. 6lb 8oz
Her Umbilical cord issue turned out to be isolated and had no affect on her :thumbup:
 
She is precious Dreamer! Congrats! Hope you have a speedy recovery
 
Thanks everyone!
I have to come back for an exam and iv antibiotics daily but I don't have to be admitted.

For those of you getting a c section I recommend taking your temperature for a few days after you return home. I knew I felt terrible but I thought it was just from healing.

Congrats Dreamer, beautiful little girl!
 
Dreamer congratulations! She is gorgeous! Glad to hear everything went well!
 
Congratulations Dreamer! Sofia is beautiful.

DarkStar, you poor thing. You have had a time of it. I hope both you and your DH recover quickly, and others are able to help
 
Is this the first girl born on the thread? Or did we have twin girlies earlier in the week? I cant remember anymore lol
 
Don't forget GP's Luci! I hope she's doing well, not heard from GP in a while xx

DS so pleased you're ok! Wishing you a speedy recovery again! Hugs xx

Dreamer, Sofia is just precious :cloud9: Great news about the cord issue!

DS, hope your hubby is on the mend quick smart and you're feeling better too:hugs:

I have spent the morning (my last one for the school term alone as school holidays start here on Monday so no preschool either and I assume baby will be born in the next two weeks ...eeek!!) having a facial and massage package! Yes, my husband is a keeper lol I felt really ungrateful but I found her massage technique so annoying LOL she was so airy fairy and light it felt all a bit pointless so I tried to spend that hour channeling my irritation to loving messages to the baby about knowing how to be born and when to be born and all that mumbo jumbo:haha: Thankfully the facial was AMAZING! and I kept nodding off which was embarrassing :dohh: all in all a truly indulgent way to spend 2.5hrs on a Friday!

Hope everyone else is well and all the babies are growing nicely :flower:
