Hope your blood pressure goes back down Emma! You're nearly there at least, fingers crossed baby comes as soon as you'd like her to!

I am getting super anxious for my section tomorrow now. I'm getting upset at the thought of leaving DS, and freaking out about the spinal of all things! Won't be sleeping much tonight!

 

[emma4g63]

Thanks gem..

I had my 39 week appointment this afternoon but it was all very boring, which is good I suppose. Everything is fine, and the midwife was very non-committal about how engaged the baby is. She jay said it's third baby and everything is stretched so the baby can easily move up and down until contractions start and force it down. I knew that was the case but was hoping she'd at least tell me how low it was at that point in time just so I know whether the increased pressure today is due to the baby being lower, even if it is temporary. I have an appointment for a sweep in 8 days and am now imagining that nothing will happen before then.

It's come around so quickly! Still doesn't feel real lol. Can't wait to see her though! We had to go for a growth scan last week as we only measured 33 weeks at my 38 week app, but she's estimated a decent 6lb6 to 6lb12 thankfully! This little girl is already loving the drama lol. I'm looking forward to seeing your little one as well! Little ladies love worrying their mummies!

Oh I'm sorry banana but had a little giggle at this. It's all going on! if little one doesn't come tonight then that's one stubborn baby! Xx

 

[banana07]

Stubborn will be an understatement!!

I got strong midly painful contractions every 8-10 mins I had an idea they'd fizzle out and as soon as I left my "spa" room they stopped but it Dec had some effect so I think it's worth it to keep trying it and hope it picks up and kick starts real Labour!

Going to try in bath tonight too and some baby dancing with dh 😁

 

[StephtheHiker]

Good luck!! Congrats on feeling a bit better about things. Sounds like you had a great hormone flush last night.

Yes I'm having the hot flashes too! My feet are so sweaty it's disgusting.

Nothing has progressed. Still having contractions every few minutes but I can nap between them. I never expected to be in slow labor for days but it is what it is. I read a great quote I've been thinking on a lot lately:
Being patient isn't about how long you can wait but how you act when you're waiting.

Jaxson James was born at 8:48PM after 5 sets of pushes! He looks soo much like his brother its crazy! Nursing like a champ already
I will update more tomorrow, im going to try to get some rest

Omg only 5? You must have done power pushes!! Congrats on your baby!


Trystan Aílean was born on the 19th at 4:26 AM after only 2 hrs of active labor. It was intense and painful because it went so fast. I was already 3cm when I got to the hospital and ready to push within an hour. I was exhausted after. The first picture was taken just after birth lol. This was a VBAC for me btw.!
Trystan seems to have caught some sort of infection, possibly lung so he has to be monitored and it's been tough. I will update more when we feel better. He already seems to be improving though.

Wow Marumi! Only 2 hours of active labor but after 2 days of contractions! Congratulations on your VBAC! I hope you can rest now, finally, and that Trystan will be feeling better soon.
