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

Sweet tart, that blanket is beautiful

It's lovely hearing about everyone's appointments and how close to the end everyone is getting.

All quiet here. Finishing work on Sunday for my maternity leave, cannot wait. Lots of time to be spent with my little girls before their sister arrives.

Are your girls excited about getting a new sister? Enjoy your time with them.

I can't wait to finish up on the 8th. Counting down the days!

Hey ladies! Can't believe how close we are all getting to welcoming these babies into the world.
I think a fb page would be miles better, i'm on there more haha and its easier to access and communicate through.
As for me, I have my normal midwife in the morning and then looking forward to a nice long weekend off work for Easter. After that I only work 3 days a week so have 9 shifts left to maternity (sounds better than 3 weeks haha) roll on April!
Can't wait to see our first April baby, was there a lady not having a c section/being induced today? Xx

Beautiful blanket sweet tart! I'm knitting a blanket and hope to have it finished in the next few weeks - should have started it earlier.

My growth scan measurements were way off with my daughter too - they said she'd be over 8lbs and she was 6 lbs 10oz. Haven't had any scans since 20 weeks with this one so who knows how big she'll be!

I have a docs appt tomorrow. I wonder if he will check for dilation and effacement. I also wonder about the Group B Strep swabs.

I have pressure that comes and goes. Its not painful just pressure straight down. I bet it's from his head BUT is it doing anything. I am getting nervous and even more excited!!

Been at the hospital this morning for routine preeclampsia monitoring. The doctor on shift just came to see me. She has met with the senior hospital consultant and another doctor to discuss my health and that of the babies. They have decided that the babies will be delivered next week - date to be determined . They have just admitted me to hospital for close monitoring from now until the babies are born. I never saw this coming this morning when I walked out the door. I can't believe I won't be leaving the hospital again without my babies in my arms!

Feeling pretty stressed if I'm honest as the thought of being away from my precious toddler indefinitely is distressing me. But I recognise it's in the best interests of the babies.

Jonesbaby: That's though but you must be excited at the same time! Xx keep us informed!! X

 

[Christie2011]

That would freak me out to not be able to leave unexpectedly like that. I'd be so unprepared for a week in the hospital. I hope your days pass quickly so you can get home with all your babies and start getting better.

 

[Jonesbaby19]

Thanks Qmama & Christie. It was so unexpected, I don't have anything with me, waiting on DH to come in with my bags. I came in by myself this morning so DH could look after our daughter as she was fast asleep when I left home. I'm already in the antenatal ward and in my own room. It's all happened in the blink of an eye. Having an ultrasound this afternoon to check on the babies and they will be doing observations every 4 hours of the babies heart rates, my blood pressure, etc from here on in.

I'm excited to think I will be meeting them soon, but I can't quite believe that I won't be going home again before they are here

I talked to my doula and I meet with her Tuesday! I feel soooooo much better about labor and birth now! Especially since the way my birth with #1 went and being in a small town this time and with small town doctors. I can breathe now! Goodness I'm so glad my friend suggested one and that my county has a volunteer doula program because my insurance wouldn't cover it and since we are about to buy a house we can't afford it.

Saw my little babe today at our growth ultrasound. He's already 7lbs with chubby cheeks, practicing breathing in there. I just wanna hold him already.

I had the swab and was checked at my appt last week so I would think they will! Where are you located?

Snoring husband and toddler singing away because he's woken up "scared of the monsters" - not a chance I'm getting any sleep

 

[Powell130]

Redhead welcome to #teamnosleep
I never sleep anymore lol maybe an hour or two of broken sleep a night if I'm lucky. I've pretty much gotten used to it now!!

Best of luck. Exciting for you to soon be meeting the twins. Hope you get some rest whilst in hospital ahead of the twins arrival. Xx

I couldn't cope on no sleep

No idea how some of you ladies do it! My 4 year old getting up at 6am just about kills me each morning. Thank god for Netflix and the alarm clock!
