Good luck cat :)

Sorry I haven't been chiming in much, I'm just so totally fed up now I'm so ready to not be pregnant any more. Still 5 weeks left :(
 
melsue are you high risk? why are you having more ultrasounds? Like you said you can't really depend on what they guess for babies weight they are often wrong. You'll be fine it is VERY rare that a women has a baby that is too big for her to birth vaginally:thumbup:

Good luck Cat and you're almost there Smile!

I've not been able to sleep well at all! And I'm so tired during the day :wacko:

So happy to officially be naming my baby girl Rose Princess💕Rose being after my beloved grandmother who has recently passed👼 & my dh wants to keep the princess thing going with the girls *rolls eyes* but we both agree and I'm just so honored to keep my grams name alive 💞💕💜💓💗💖
 
Melsue, I wouldn't worry about having a huge baby. :) Unless there is some reason why you would (first baby was huge, or gestational diabetes?), its likely that your little guy will be pretty average. Growth scans are so inaccurate... there's so many stories of an "estimated to be enormous" baby coming out at 7 pounds. :shrug:

catmummy, I hope you can be induced soon! Everything between the gallbladder issues and the lack of movement and the repeated hospital stays sounds SO stressful :hugs:

smile - I'm in the same boat -- SO ready to be done. You're in the final stretch, hang in there! :hugs: I'm putting most of my energy into distractions just to keep myself from obsessing about how much time is left. :wacko: And I gave myself an induction date to work towards (39 weeks, because I'm impatient, uncomfortable, and depressed) so that helps. Can you do similar?

Trying4 -- Rose is a beautiful name! :) Its actually one of my very very favorites, but DH is not a fan hehe. But it is lovely to be able to honor a loved one through our babies :)
For your back - can you see a physical therapist? They may be able to give you a stretch or something that relieves the pain, as that sounds really terrible to deal with!!
 
Trying4 I also like Rose very pretty. So are all your girls middle name Princess? And could you see a chiropractor for your back? That would help for when you go into labor too!


Aley sorry if you already said but why are you getting induced at 39 weeks again? Is it because you're having a C-section? Sorry I forgot:dohh: only 3 weeks left for you!
 
Mimzy, no... just going with induction when my doctor offers it at 39 weeks. For the sake of my mental health mostly, as I'm feeling the depression settle in. My oldest son basically hates me right now because I'm always cranky and we never do anything because everything except sitting on the couch is uncomfortable and/or exhausting for me to do. He said he doesn't even want the baby anymore, he just wants me back. Ouch :nope:

So yep -- 39+1 is my ideal induction date!! 20 more days to that. I'm going to see if my doctor will schedule it tomorrow or if I have to wait until 38 weeks to schedule it. :haha: With any luck she'll come the weekend before, right when I turn 38 weeks... that would be ideal. :haha:





In other news, I started painting the nursery today!! Its tiny, I'm huge, and I'm too lazy to move furniture out... so I painted 1.5 walls lol. Once that dries, I can move the dresser into its new spot and finish painting the rest of the room. I'm just working on it in short segments, because painting is very, VERY exhausting at this point!
 
catmummy good luck


AFM I am so fed up now. I feel like all I want to do is sleep, been wondering about early labour signs as was told last week that I had a few weeks max till I go into labour. Not really what you want to hear at 32 weeks. I'm now 33+2.
sunday I was having what felt like contractions every 3 to 4 minutes luckily they stopped after 40 minutes.
Since then I've noticed I've been feeling sick more
TMI warning my bowel movements are a little loser and softer and I've been more gassy.
heartburn is awful and can last all night.
on and off pressure down below
more back and hip pains,
more period type pains.
can feel his head wiggling below my C-section scar.
I just want to hold him in my arms but at the same time he needs to stay in a longer.
 
For what it's worth Steph, I feel the same. He seems to be obstructing my bladder and bowl. I have to wee all the time and it takes me ages because my bladder is squashed. My back is agonising, but 7 weeks since my physio referral and no appt, never lost morning sickness, suddenly developed heartburn and insomnia for months. So glad I've finished work now.
I do wonder if he will come early as I never had any of this with Daniel, bar the insomnia.
 
I don't have an induction date Aley, as with having a previous c section the risk of uterine rupture increases with certain induction techniques so I've refused! So basically I have to go into labour before 41+3 otherwise it's another section! I went into early labour with my first at 39 weeks though (had him at 39+6) so I'm sort of working towards that as a labour date in my head :haha:

My boobs are on FIRE today - is anyone else still experiencing breast pain? I feel like I've been punched in each one and they're bruised!

Click to expand...

Mrs Bump I am exactly the same, I constantly feel like I am going to burst with pee but then hardly anything comes out and that is an effort :( not constipated but finding it difficult to actually go :wacko:
I feel like my pelvis is breaking in two and I am sure I hear it clicking :wacko: and I no longer seem to sleep beyond 1am :dohh: My MS has ramped back up too :sick: which isn't fun either :nope:

I am glad today is my 1st day of WFH for 9 days before Mat leave starts :thumbup:

Had my 36 week midwife appointment yesterday - baby is head down but no longer free but also not engaged just sitting damn low :dohh: and her body is over to the left with limbs on the right (which i knew as I can see her :haha:) also booked in to go to the new midwife led unit at our hospital :thumbup: I am super excited although IF i have to be induced again I am not allowed to go there and have to go to normal L&D wards :( so fingers crossed little madam decides to come on her own terms unlike her brother :thumbup:
 
Sorry to hear so many of you are struggling right now. Good news is not too much longer :hugs:

This baby is definitely lower than my son was, which is totally normal for second pregnancies. I often feel pressure from his head very low. And I too feel like I have to pee than go to the bathroom and its hard to even get anything out. If you lean forward while you go it sometimes helps to get a little more out :thumbup: Still battling insomnia, last night I took benadryl and actually slept pretty well.
 
Eeeek in 3 days time I am FULL TERM that just seems crazy :wacko: I seriously need to pack my hospital bag and get the baby seat out :dohh:
 
Yes, I am having breast pain and Pelvic pain!!! I am so ready to be done lol!! So far no one has had their baby yet, right? I am excited to see who will go first!!
 
Not as far as I am aware but then we haven't heard from Catmummy for a while? :shrug:

It will be interesting to see how has the 1st baby :thumbup:
 
EKK I know I can't believe I'll be full term next week! I haven't packed my hospital bag yet either. But we did put the car seat in the car this past weekend. I sort of forgot what to pack?:shrug: Honestly the only thing I remember having that the hospital didn't provide was a hand held paper fan for during labor. I was soooo hot and DH fanned me.
 
I hope everyone who is feeling yucky gets some relief soon and/or baby comes earlier rather than later to give you some relief! Some of you are soo close, getting exciting!!

I've been feeling ok, back hurts if I do much so I have been a couch potato, might take a short walk today though as I'm getting cabin fever! I think it's just a lot of weight on my lower back, I already had back problems so I'm just glad it's not worse. Chiropractor definitely helps though. Am kinda bummed I've started getting stretch marks on the front of my belly, was so hoping to avoid them! I've had marks on my left hip for months now so I guess I'm not surprised, just hope they aren't too visible after the baby is born.

DH is away on tour again for 10 days, back on Monday for 3, then out for another 11 days. But he's coming home on the 24th to stay all the way until January so I can't wait for that. But I had a super emotional crappy day the last two days, was feeling very lonely and down and anxious, guess I'm not coping as well with DH being gone these days! My friend is coming to visit for the weekend though so that will help. Wish I knew more people in my area, I feel so isolated sometimes! Maybe a baby will help so I can join some mom groups and stuff lol. I need a new tribe! :)

Otherwise things are good, platelet count is a bit low so I need to get my butt in gear and start making bone broth again, I should have been doing it way earlier but have been very lazy!

Been spending a lot of time on the computer finalizing things because I'm buying out what's left on my baby registry tomorrow.. which is a lot lol.. there's like 60+ items on there! But I get 15% off everything, thank you Amazon! It's a bit early to close it but I opened it 2 1/2 months ago so it's been a while, and I really just want to get everything here and cleaned and organized. A few people bought gifts off it but not very many did, which is fine as every little bit helps, but I think everyone who was going to has already done so lol. My house is going to be full of baby stuff in like a week ahh! :)
 
Oh and yes I've had sore breasts again the past 2 weeks, they just keep getting bigger lol! Think it's just them getting more ready for colostrum/milk production, I already have a little if I squeeze my nips lol

No idea what to pack in my labor bag, since I'll be at a birth center not a hospital it'll be a bit different I think. We only have to stay like 4 hours after the birth then we're free to go as long as everything is good, but we can stay longer if we want. Thinking of getting one of those labor dresses. We have an appt with the midwives at 37 wks where they'll tell me everything I need to bring so I'm not gonna worry about it til then lol. I just really want to make it to 40 weeks so my mom will be here for the birth! She's flying up at 39+5 so anytime after that please! :)
 
lome- I had my first in a hospital and packed all this stuff and used like none of it lol. I pretty much stayed in the hospital gown (so the dress would be perfect for you) I didn't feel like having to take a top on and off to breastfeed all the time, so a dress you can pull down easily would be perfect! I also never took a shower there, I only stayed like 2 days and just showered when I got home.. I just wore my outfit home and I did bring tolietres for my face but otherwise I laid in bed most of the time haha and where my hospital is my family lives super close so if I need anything they are there! I am intrigued you are doing a birthing center..I am in the birthing center at a small hospital but I would love to be at an actual center! I am sure you have toured the place, what is it like?
