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

I learned glucose levels need to be stable for 24 hours before they'll release either baby. So if Ella is stable today she can go home tomorrow. Lydia still needs to be weaned off iv glucose, but she is doing v well so dr said to try weaning twice as fast. Which will get her off iv at midnight. Then if she's stable tomorrow she can come home Sunday.

Which means since neither of my babies can go home tonight I wont push for my own discharge today.

Since Lydia is in NICU, the hospital has ordered that I have a breast pump. so they are going to deal directly with my insurance and vendor and get one delivered to my house. Lydia will be home by time it comes but it will be handy to have. Especially after i go back to work.
 
Congrats Natasha, what a lovely surprise!

Sorry to hear there are so many unwell little ones. Hope they all get better, and same for mums too :flower:

AFM I'm so uncomfortable now, and very ready to have this baby. For 3 nights running I've had such a painful pressure and period type cramps in the evening, but every time they've disappeared by the morning. Last night I felt so strange down there it felt like my waters were about to break at any second. Gonna be brave and have a curry tonight, but not going to hold my breath. Really can see myself attending my next midwife appointment on Wednesday, and by that point I'll be 3 days over.
 
I'm going to be induced tomorrow after 4th episode of rfm today. Mixed feelings as I wanted to start labour naturally, but I understand that at this point being a week overdue it's not a good idea to wait it out. I was booked for induction for Thursday next week anyway. I was 2cm at my check up yesterday and cervix soft and baby really low down so I'm hoping it will be a positive process and all go smoothly!

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:

Woo hoo. Congratulations, shes beautiful. Hope you get some sleep soon.
 
In depth scan today has baby boy in the 27th percentile where my doc had him in the 7th and diagnosed IUGR and wanted to induce Monday morning.
Needless to say I won't be going back to that office SMDH

At least it confirms your thoughts about the Dr you were under. No wonder you're opting for a different hospital. Have you moved house yet?

Yes! I feel better knowing my worries were justified! The first thing the doc said when she came in to go over the results today was "you were right. Your baby is not IUGR"

Ugh, no. The loan officer is dragging her feet on getting the last few things she needs. Makes me frustrated because the closing attorney has had the stuff she needs for ovef a week! And she will need at least three business days to for the underwriter to review everything once she gets it! So MAYBE we will close toward the end of the week next week but my luck it'll be the last week of April.... we were supposed to close no later than April 15th.

I lost a huge chunk of plug this morning! Blood streaked and everything. I want this baby outta me but really hope he hangs out until we close on the house but with it keeping getting delayed, idk if thats gonna happen :shrug:
 
Holy cervix pain. Its actually making me say OUCH and a few cuss words outloud :haha: usually i just get quiet and breathe like thru contractions but this shit hurts. It feels like its going with his movements so wtf is it? Is he trying to engage more maybe? Am i feeling it more because my plug came out this morning? :shrug: i have no clue farther than OMG THIS HURTS. But feels like a silly reason to go to the hospital so unless something significant happens i suppose i'll sit here cussing lol
 
It's all go on here at the moment. So exciting!
Absolutely nothing to report here so looks like I'll be checking in to the overdue club for a 3rd time haha x
 
Bless u kay i av to say im not looking forward to overdue club myself!!
