Beautiful babies jonesbaby! I hope you feel better very soon! I know you can't wait to take those precious twins home

I'm on day #4 of diarrhea although it's not coming every 30 mins like it has been. I was actually able to sleep last night thankfully. I feel super dehydrated and can't eat anything but white bread (even yesterday's rice made the diarrhea worse). I keep smelling all these delicious lunches at work and want to cry.

Powell- I am definitely more open to it this time because I'm not scared and I'm going in much more informed this time. Hoping to go without to see the difference but what happens, happens.

Jonesbaby- Glad to see the twins are doing wonderful!!
Hope that you feel better soon!

I like knowing what my cervix is doing simply to see how ready my body is feeling. It doesn't necessarily mean labor is close but I know my odds when I try to get things moving along if that makes sense? I don't particularly mind it.

My husband enjoys addressing me by loving but unflattering nicknames. The regular is "Crummimodo." Its a play on my clumsiness. If there is a blade of grass, I will find it and trip on it, if there is a knife I will be injured etc.

Jones they are beautiful!! I am glad they get to go to your room. They will love the extra snuggles. I am so happy they didn't have any serious health issues. I hope you can start to feel better soon and you can all go home happy and healthy!

I can't believe I am 36 weeks!! Everyone is worried since I measured 10 days ahead the entire time. Who's coming to take care of me? He's coming early for sure... It's pretty adorable my mom-in-law is so worried.

I had an unpleasant cervical check last week that advised us that my cervix is in fact still closed. I hope I go early because I want to meet him right now!!

Hope everyone is doing well and coping with our 3rd trimester symptoms.

Out of curiosity... I've not had any checks yet to see if starting to dilate.... But if it doesn't really give you a guide if things are starting or how quickly you'll go into labour what's the point?

Have my 37 week appointment on Friday so wonder if midwife will check then, but not really getting why she would if I've read the previous posts correctly.

Ive never been checked prior to 40 weeks its not something they do here when you're under mw care. Im sure OBs do it though lol

You won't be checked, midwives just don't do them over here due to the possible risk of infection until you're actually in labour. Think the only exception is when you go over and they try to give you a sweep.

Just shows how different it is in the UK compared to the US.

What kind of info you looking for? Ive had to decipher a few different versions for my twins now. I googled a lot of the abbreviations.

 

[xSweetTartx]

I pass gas just walking around all day

With you having twins are they booking you in earlier for delivery? Sometimes you hear they do and then others are told to wait if no complications , hope your not taken by suprised but I am
One for not getting to 5/6wothiut realising unfortunately too, I know with the pain by 2/3cm and I am actually quite good with pain! Everywoman is different though some have it easier and quicker some longer and bit harder but we all have our beautiful ending

I'm really hoping for an early booking. I'm so over all this extra weight and immobility, swelling....etc. I have an apt with a MW Thursday and I"m hoping I can talk her into booking something no later than 2 weeks out from tomorrow. My house is a disaster because I can't bend or stand/walk for any length of time. Feet up I keep getting told to reduce the swelling. That doesn't seem to work to reduce, but at least it keeps it from getting worse.

Hope midwife arranges that for you , bad enough with the struggle with one baby never mind 2!

I'm guessing the cervix/dilation check hurt? That always surprises me how much that hurts.

Yeah. She said she had to move his head out of the way. To get to my cervix he's really really low. I'm just wondering how soon actual labor will start. Having pretty intense contractions every couple of hours now. Not sure how I'm going to work now.... but seriously, how much longer? No water breaking or mucus plug.

 

[SaraVO]

Soo. Much. Gas. I'm so dang embarrassed. I apparently fart in my sleep all night long.

 

[Powell130]

I'm gassy all thru out the day lol its gotten bad over the last few weeks! Thankfully the majority of em don't smell!

 

[xSweetTartx]

Sara- It's hard to tell when real labor will arrive but here's to hoping you get lucky soon

My only baby that i had on time was my 1st whos head was engaged from 32 weeks, he was born the night before due date after 41 hours of labour. The morning i went into labour with him i had a little bit of a show when i wiped and then contractions followed shortly after and plug came out in parts the entire labour. My 2nd it just started with contractions when i woke up and plug didn't come out until 10 minutes before he was born, waters went on 2nd or 3rd push, same with my 3rd.
