Forums New posts
Probably but i'm unsure whether to have one because i'm gbs+ :shrug:
 
Was feeling rather crampy a bit ago but that's stopped now! Went on a lil walk yesterday but only started to feel pressure and pain. I still feel I could go before Friday ...

My family are so inpatient, my sis texts me asking me what's going on and how inpatient they're getting lol


Saw this in mothercare https://www.mothercare.com/Stars-an...orn&returnSrule=null&start=&returnScrollPos=0 but not sure if it may be too thick?
 
Absolutely delighted to read the wonderful news Qmama & Redhead!

A heartfelt congratulations to you both! :wohoo:

Enjoy this magic time with your families.

Best wishes to you both xx
 
Whooo well done qmama and red head. Delighted for ye both 😁

Any advice on getting baby to drop without tons of walking. Went in yesterday for regular check up. They want to induce because I have bad spd I am refusing induction but was going to get the internal anyway just to see and hopefully a sweep. Anyway they said baby way to high up for a sweep would be at risk of the cord coming out first.

She advised being as "nice" to my.husband as much as I can this week but also said they would normally advise as much rest as possible with the spd!

Anything I Google just says walk walk walk but this leaves me in absolute agony any other tips to get baby to drop lower??
 
Bouncing on a birthing ball if you have one? Feel for you. I'm in agony with spd too x

Congrats to qmama gorgeous baby lovely name! Of course and redhead! Well done lady's and enjoy your newborns hope your both feeling well in yourself xx
 
I still haven't managed photos sorry ladies.

I will say though that the ob came to see me this morning and filled me in on just how serious things got last night.

I was very close to having to have a crash section under general as her heart rate was of such concern. I had a really experienced guy looking after me and as such he was able to get her out with forceps. We are pretty lucky by all accounts.

She's just managed to projectile vomit over Daddy and poo all over my nightie so Daddy has to go to shops and get new clothes for us!!

Hope everyone is well :)

Oh qmama he's so handsome!!!

Marumi I think we are the only ones hoping to make it to our EDD :haha: I wanna get moved into our new house before Jax gets here. Hopefully we close on the 11th (it's already been delayed twice!) Because I realllllly don't wanna be moving and trying to get the main things unpacked and settled with a newborn. And trying to soak up as much time with #1 before he's a big brother!! I'm still having mixed feelings/emotions about him not being our only child :cry:

Congrats!! What a cutie! Glad to hear all is well! 💕
 
Oh no Sami not u too. It's so horrible I feel disabled sometimes. thankfully it disappeared immediately after ds2 hopefully does again. I've been trying to Google if a exercise ball is ok with bad spd very mixed opinions I've never used one before but will.give it a go. No interest in Going into town tho maybe tomorrow or Friday if I can summon the energy!!

I cannot understand how baby us so high with such awful lightening crotch. All the signs say I've dropped but consultant said she can still move head over and back.

I've also read since and nurse said to me last week that most 2/3 babies don't drop until labour. Plus consultant 2 weeks ago said I was well down. Maybe it moved up. Funny enough I had f all lightening crotch last few days so might have moved back up.

I bet you are glad that's over redhead. Thank God all is ok. I don't think we realise the high risk we are at sometimes. Labour is serious business! Hope your enjoying lots of snuggles now well once u get freshened up!!

Lightning crotch isn't only caused by the baby Hun
 
Congratulations to Qmama and Redhead! So exciting to see the April babies are making their appearances.
Redhead - - your story brings tears to my eyes - - we talk so much about unnecessarily medical interventions but your case is exactly why I want to have my baby in the major hospital near me just in case something goes wrong (though I would actually be much happier off in the woods by myself!). It is such a blessing to have skillful doctors who can save the day with forceps or whatever it is when things aren't going well. It probably also makes you feel better to understand why those decisions were made - it is nice they made the effort to talk to you about it later on. It must have been hurried and confusing at the time. I hope you are healing well.
