April Dewdrops 2019

Sounds like Braxton Hicks. It's your uterus "practicing" for labor and they can hurt, but they're harmless - as long as they're not happening in regular intervals with the intervals narrowing in time & the pain is not escalating.
Got a lot of those happening myself right now.
It's good that you had yourself checked out Lola! Better to play it safe.

I got my C-section date moved forward now April 8th! I also have to get blood transfusions because my counts are getting to low! I had a scan yesterday and got a 3D glimpse he is adorable and so chubby. At 33 weeks 6 days they guessed his weight to be 6 lb 9oz already! I don't have GD I just make big babies! I've got everything mostly ready, I just need to get some clothes to wear while healing and a few newborn outfits since he is being born at 37 weeks!

Vaughan so exciting you have a date set! Babe sounds like he's doing so well!

I'm 37 weeks today and so excited to be considered "term" even if it's early term lol. Baby is in perfect position and has dropped. So I'm getting a lot more pelvic pressure. But midwife doesn't expect baby to come early either way! She thinks babe will be 7-8 lbs at birth. A nice normal size!

Ohhhh yay, that's a beautiful date! Sorry about the blood transfusions though but it's for a good cause
In the same boat re: big babies! I did have GD with my first pregnancy so color me surprised when I didn't develop it this pregnancy but still have a huge chubby baby LOL.
You sound prepared!
I'm packing a size mix of baby clothes. I have a few smaller newborn sets (size 56 - I didn't bother with anything smaller LOL) and a few sized 62. DD went to size 62 very quickly, she weighed 9,5lbs (4,3kg) and was 1'8 (55cm) when born at 38+1.

*high five* Happy "term" day to us! I didn't even realize until I read your post LMAO.
I'm dealing with the pelvic pressure too. So not fun. DS is pushing on my bladder and my midriff/stomach simultaneously. I seriously wonder how our bodies do it. Our poor squished organs!
Sounds like a great size

So exciting!! Soon the front page will be updated with baby arrivals!

37w3d today. Had a dr appt. I have been going twice a week since 34 weeks to be put on the monitor. Baby boy is doing great. He was 5lb10oz the last time they weighed him. Dr checked me for the first time today and I am 1-2 cm dilated and 75% effaced. So hopefully that means it won't be long and he will come on his own without inducing. We should be seeing some babies born soon. I'm so excited. Hope everyone is doing well.

Baby boy arrived hard and fast, will update after a rest

Congratulations! I hope you're all doing well, rest up

(So this is our group's first baby?! Yay!)

 

[Lola]

Congratulations Crownest! Can’t wait for the update. Hope you’re all well

 

[BelleNuit]

Congratulations Crow! That's amazing news! I hope everything went well with the birth. Rest up!! Thanks for the update!

 

[babyvaughan]

Congratulations Crow!! Lexii fingers crossed for no inducing! I have an OB appt today. I believe she will be checking me for first time due to me delivering in 2 weeks and having been in pain the last few days.

 

[KatieSweet]

My appointment with the gynaecologist went well! They thought my BP was up but the hospital has this habit of measuring it as soon as you walk in, and a 10 minute walk takes a lot out of me right now. So they had me on a 30min interval monitor and my BP dropped to normal after about 15mins. Whew!
Baby's engaged. It doesn't really matter because I'm getting a C-section but it does confirm what I suspected as I had some serious pelvic pressure going on last week. Couldn't do much at all, everything was sore!

And we got the time when we're expected at the hospital on Monday, 9AM sharp! I'm glad it's not 7AM (that was another option, plus 11AM) because now I get to see my daughter right before we go. So just a few more days! I'm glad we have one more weekend together to chill out a bit and then it's go time!

 

[abennion]

And so it begins! Congrats Crow!

So exciting! Looks like this group will have at least three babes all before the end of this coming week!

We've got our induction date for this coming Wednesday!

 

[babyvaughan]

Yay for babies!

Doc said I'm having contractions but nothing to be concerned about 1cm dilated 50% effaced she said I should make it to my C-section in 2 weeks!

 

[KatieSweet]

DS was born today via planned C section! Resting up now but just wanted to let you know all is well xx

 

[BelleNuit]

Yay!! Huge congratulations to you!;

 

[Lexxii91]

Congratulations Crownest and KatieSweet. Hope all went well with delivering those babies. 3 weeks until my baby boy gets here one way or another. 41 weeks is as long as my doctor will let me go so that is his eviction date. Hopefully he packs up and moves out before then. Lol.

Ohhhh busy!!! I'd almost jokingly call you sneaky! But I suppose you've needed yourself a good, good rest. Well done mama. Proud of you & I'm so happy the girls *swoon* are here and that all is well!
