April ladies ...were having our babies THIS month :)

[Misscalais]

I have a meeting with consultant today as ive had 2 accounts of reduced fetal movement and possibly just discovered gestational diabetes not sure what to think xxx

Hopefully they will work out a plan for you to help ease your worry. Let us know how you go.

 

[Misscalais]

Had my 38 week appt today. Bub has engaged a little i think it was 3/5ths it said on my notes, will have to double check. So because of that im measuring back at 36 weeks.
We fully painted the boys room on the weekend and just have to move DS3 bed in, set up lil misses cradle in our room and then ill be ready for her to arrive when shes ready hopefully not over due lol

I was at a store today and I could swear something was happening. My tummy got crazy hard a couple of times and I got really hot and there was so much pressure. Then I came home my husband rubbed my tummy and he even said that it felt different and crazy firm. But now I'm feeling normal again and I have an appointment in the morning. I really don't want to be a hysterical first time mom assuming that anything different means he's coming and I'm glad I didn't drag us into being checked and boy is he moving so so much. This is going to be a long few weeks. And I was mad at my husband for making me pack and check our bags yesterday like he is going to jinx me now that we are ready to just leave for the hospital.

Brunette- welcome to #teamnosleep. That's how every single night is for me nowadays! I get just a few hours of sleep a night then I'm awake for the rest of the night because I can't get comfy it's 2:47AM and I just woke up from an hour of sleep and its probably all the sleep I will get. It's so roug but luckily we are in the home stretch!!

Excellent. I'm still not finished haha!

My sons room is being finished today so he can move back in once I've got it all moved into place.

Baby has not engaged at all so far. Got an appt tomorrow afternoon so will see then but don't feel like it's changed. I've got a feeling I'm going to go overdue again sigh.

Brunette - sorry its all being so tough for you. Best thoughts for your meeting today, will be thinking of you. Please let us know how you get on xx

 

[dani_tinks]

Hope you get on okay today brunette x

I have a scan tomorrow due to reduced movement and bump measuring small. She's fidgeting like crazy today so hopefully all will be well. So achy and tired!

As long as you stick to your guns and stay strong they really can't force you into anything unless you and the baby are in distress. We are unsure if our son will be joining us for part of the labor too. If we go into labor naturally, it really depends on if anyone is available. I cannot imagine they could deny your son access to the labor suite if you have no other choice.
---------------------------------------

I had my 36 week checkup today! She is measuring at 37 weeks and 2 days and currently 6lbs 15 oz. Growth scans are always estimates but she scored an 8/8 during her scan so no matter when she comes, she is a healthy and happy baby. We will be keeping a close watch on her weight and my blood pressure though. I had entertained the thought of going into labor on my own but I trust my doctor so if she says she needs to come out, that's what we will do. My first induction went well so I'm not scared.

That unfortunately happens a lot towards the end. Nothing wrong with being prepared though!

Agreed. I just don't wanna have to fight with them while in labor so I wanna make sure they know ahead of time how adament about it i am, ya know?
I feel better knowing we aren't the only ones who aren't sure about plans for #1 during labor!!

 

[Brunette_21]

Well im 4/5ths palpable, ive to go for blood test 2moz for gd and they said ill get another scan 38/39 weeks xx

I had a doctors appointment this morning. I actually cried in the shower because I wasn't ready to get out of bed. Husband is standing in the shower with soap in his hair watching me frustrated sobbing at 7:30 in the morning. I am waking up almost every hour to go to the bathroom, I have discovered that if I keep my belly out of the blankets and a little chilly he stays a bit more quiet at night. If I bundle up all warm and cozy he kicks the heck out of me. but, my appointment went well. He's around six pounds maybe a little under and I have an ultrasound on Friday. So, looking good to not have a C-section!!

 

[xSweetTartx]

We're all sooo close to the end now. I'm feeling pretty optimistic today but I'm sure it won't last

 

[Natasha2605]

Anyone else not hungry at all now?

All I ate today was half a punnet of grapes, a yogurt and some chow mein. I just no longer feel hungry, nothing tastes good and I've had no cravings this pregnancy.

Doesn't help that I genuinely feel like there's no room left it there! Every time baby moves her limbs and bum sticks outs.

 

[Jonesbaby19]

I'm down to single digit days today - 9 days until I'm 37 weeks when we are expecting to meet our sweet twins. I can't believe I'm 2 days shy of 36 weeks - just call me superwoman!

Preeclampsia monitoring tomorrow morning & then my final appointment with my obstetrician a week today. Considering 60-70% of twins are born between weeks 32 - 36, I'm really proud of my body for carrying my babies this far! Having been blessed to experience both a single and a twin pregnancy, I can honestly say carrying two babies this far along is no easy task, but of course worth all the pain & suffering.

Cannot wait to meet them!

I'm with you Natasha! I'm barely eating anymore, yesterday I ate breakfast, but by 7:30pm I was still not hungry having not eaten all day and had to force myself to eat dinner. I am not hungry and eating makes me feel sick afterwards and gives me reflux

Honestly that is amazing! I'm in awe of you right now.

I'm in so much discomfort and struggling to maintain a weight gain, let alone do enough to provide for twins

I'm sure time will fly and your babies will be here
