[Powell130]

Goodness I'm hormonal. Typing that last comment made me misty eyed! I can't believe he's going to be my only litte boy for just a little bit longer!! SSO many mixed feelings

 

[emma4g63]

[Oldermummy78]

Aww congratulations salamander and jonesbaby on the birth of your gorgeous baby's!

Hope your feeling better jones baby and so cool they both weighed the same?! How crazy is that!
My daughter was booked for a c section at 9 am and I was in the hospital and went into labour naturally at 1am with her foot in the birth canal ready to come out too!
It is cool they would have come that date anyway, I always think nerves had a big part of it too as I was 21 and the most nervous I had ever been and never had an op before ...

Looking forward to others updates I got a scan tomorrow for low water and then see my consultant hoping we can discuss the options if he has time for me
Tomorrow!

Good to hear you have a plan for your son at the hospital Powell!
I believe my dad is going to watch mine hopefully right at home.

I have an appointment in the morning. Just standard stuff but I'll be getting checked and we will see how things are fairing in the tunnel of life

The girls had a NST today. They were uber active and their heart rates were all over the place, but it seemed like the doctor was happy with what she saw.

No protein in my urine today, my BP was still a little elevated compared to my baseline, but alls good there.

Doctor did prescribe compression socks since I"m still having painful swelling. Not sure this doctor was in her right mind though, she told me I have at most a month left. I really don't think I can carry this two for another month and keep my sanity. If they get much bigger I'll not be able to even roll myself out of bed once I'm in it.

Next apt is Thursday for my labor talk. Not sure what that entails, but I"m hoping it means something gets scheduled.

 

[Misscalais]

Had my 39 week appt today. Next one wont be until 40+4 and that's when they will check for dilation and hopefully a sweep will be done. Lets just hope bub comes before then lol

I feel much better knowing we have a plan for him. I knew my friend was going to watch him but didn't know her work was going to be as flexible as they are and let her leave during the day if that's when I got into labor and also give her a day or two off if she needs it! She's going to get a hotel room (or stay at our house if we are somewhat moved in by then, closing is set for the 8th) by the hospital in case labor goes on into the night so they can still be close enough to pop over when he's here. We want #1 to meet his brother as soon as possible. Plus I think she does too

Lovely your friend is so supportive Powell

Sleep has abandoned me tonight. Not great when still have 4 work days to go till the weekend.

A little envious of you ladies due at the beginning of the month. Can't wait to meet our little boy

Yes! Especially since we are 400 miles away from family and any other friends except the guys at my husband's work and a handful of others. But no one I would be able to feel comfortable leaving him with, just because we haven't known em long and I'm an over protective freak and #1 is a HANDFUL to put it nicely he's almost 3 and balls to the wall at all times

Oh no! Sleep didn't visit me Thursday night which made Friday really rough!

Haha me too! 4 weeks feels like FOREVER away! 26 days sounds better tho! Luckily we are closing on our house next Friday so I will be kept busy packing then unpacking and getting the house ready so that should keep me busy! We finnnnnnnnnnally got the inspection and appraisal back, which the loan was dependant on, so we now know we are getting to close for sure on the 8th.

Having SUPER strong and defined feeling movements tonight (it's 11:24PM here)

I feel something has changed in my body. Still no plug ... I'm starting to think I don't have one, but I think he's dropped suddenly. I can really feel the pressure & something is stretching ... Another night ahead of me ... I hope I'll get some sleep. Little baby is moving a lot & it's rather uncomfortable.

My mum is here fr a few weeks, so she'll take care of my son. He's very excited and puts toys in baby's crib & tells the preschool teachers he's going to teach baby brother to walk. I'm falling in love every day with my son. Sooo cute. I'll miss the three of us, but I know I'll love the 4 of us as much!!

 

[Powell130]

I dont think it's possible to not have a mucous plug! Why do you think you don't have one?

AFM- i wasn't diagnosed with gestational diabetes this pregnancy but still have my meter from my first and have randomly been checking my sugars and my fasting levels seem to be high sometimes dang it! I'm going to start taking cinnamon to help regulate them as it worked wonders for my sugar levels during my first pregnancy where i was diagnosed

 

[Misscalais]

My plug didn't come out with my 2nd until i went to climb up onto the bed to push, it came out in one huge chunk it was so gross lol the other 2 it came out in parts.

 

[Powell130]

My plug didn't come out until my water broke last time while being induced

 

[SaraVO]

I have done nothing but sleep the last two days. Yesterday I fell asleep at eight. My husband put me in bed at midnight until 9am. Today I had a three hour nap and woke up for three and I'm struggling to stay awake. I'm up constantly to go to the bathroom but the exhaustion is soul crushing. I need this to end.

Suffering from leg cramps at the moment in both legs

Aww not long now.... As annoying as that may sound!

I've been up for the toilet numerous times as well

 

[emma4g63]

I had a small.show of my plug before i was induced on the morning....

Im off for bp check this am....gtt test friday !!

Cnt believe im 36 weeks nearly feeling nervous !

 

[Redhead84]

I haven't lost my plug yet but am getting insane amounts of discharge so wondering if it's starting to thin out. Husband is absolutely convinced baby is coming on Friday, I am yet to be convinced but it'd be nice not to lug the bump around anymore without being able to even get dressed in a civilised manner!

Why so late with the GTT? It's usually done around 28 weeks
