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

Forums New posts
Just been to see the midwife, and it has been confirmed that babies head is now engaged. If baby not here by Wednesday I'll be having a sweep to see if can get things moving before having to be induced.

Thinking of all you ladies who've got babies that aren't too well just now. Hope they're all better soon xx
 
Thinkin of u ladies with babies being poorly....
Everything will be ok xxxx
 
These April babies sure are misbehaving!

I'm exhausted emotionally and physically. 12hrs of some really intense and frequent prodromal labour. Now...nothing but a few now and again and not as intense. Back to the waiting game :(. its 7:50pm and I've been up since 2:30am when the pain forced me to get out of bed. I have excrutiating af usually and this was far far worse...pain down my thighs, moaning and one even caused an excrutiating cramp in my back that took half hr to release and caused some tears! Prodromal labour sucks.
 
Hugs hopeful cat. Hope the pain eases so you can build up your strength again. Would a soak in the bath help?
 
Qmama- I can't find anything specific about false positives for VCLAD, but I'm glad some kind of double checking is part of the diagnostic procedure and it sounds like coping with VCLAD is totally doable like you said. In general the metabolic disorder false positives outweigh the actual cases, more than 10 to one and there are also varying degrees of severity. Keeping fingers crossed!

Christie: Scary to hear that Lydia and Ella and having trouble stabilizing their glucose levels. It sounds like you are getting attentive care though so don't be worried. Lots of newborns are in and out of the hospital for jaundice and other things in the first few days.

Powell: I'm losing track of who needs an induction and why so it is great to see that the advice you got has been superseded by a second opinion. Definitely go for that farther hospital!

SaraVO: Congratulations on your beautiful baby!
 
Lots of plug loss since right before I left the hospital yesterday! Some bloody, some not; some old blood, some new! I hope this baby decides to come on his own soon!!!
 
My baby girl is here. She is tiny - 6lbs 11oz which was unexpected since her sisters were both over 8lbs.

They broke my waters at 10pm last night after I was in for monitoring for reduced movements. She was born at 04.13am. Breastfeeding is going fabulous and we are just getting ready to go home to meet her big sisters.

Will catch up on everyone else later on. I'm absolutely shattered. Have slept 3 hours in the last 48 :sleep:
 
Christie, I hope the girls are ok soon x

Qmama also hoping Quinn is ok and gets whatever help he needs x

Powell I hope it us for you soon. I'm officially over 40+1 by this exact time with ds2 I was in the hospital nearly ready to push! But nothing seems to be happening here. I can't do much just mopped 3 floors not much and oh the period cramps after so so sore 😔
 
Oh Natasha what a surprise. She us gorgeous! Any name yet?? Hope u get some sleep!
 
Ella worked her feedings like a champ through the night and kept her glucose levels up. She did not need to go to NICU. Lydia started eating again and kept what I pumpedfor her down. One of the reasons she was moved to NICU was because she was spitting up the formula they gave her when they tried to get her levels up.

Still waiting to see if any of us will be released today. I'm bored now with hospital confinement. And miss my boys.
 
Sounds like they're doing so much better Christie - great news!

Congrats Natasha - she's beautiful!

I am anxiously awaiting Monday for my c section - get checked in at 10:30 and operation should start at 12:30.

Yesterday was my last day of work and using today to clean and get more organized (and get a much needed mani/pedi 😀). My parents arrive tomorrow night so they can stay with my daughter while we're in the hospital.

Just wanted to share that Quinn is doing great. Unfortunately I got the news that the heel prick test showed positive for vclad - a rare genetic disorder. We retested today & we're seeing specialist next week. We're praying it's a false positive, and if not, we're happy it's been discovered so early so we can manage the condition.
He won't be able to break down fat fr energy, so he doesn't have a back up, especially when he gets ill he will need IV glucose.
We will know fr sure next week if something is wrong... Feeling very nervous.

I hope it isn't vclad! :(
