April Raindrops 2016

I'm feeling so tired guys! Just wanna lay in bed and sleep! I can't even move today to make us something to eat and I still have a lot of vacuuming to do but my whole body aches :(

My mum was just asking me 'when will this baby come out?' Haha for some weird reason I'd like him to stay in a lil longer. I probably sound crazy cause I know most ladies want to give birth as soon as they reach 37 weeks. I'm I the only one who can wait a few more weeks? Oh and believe me I'm in a lot of discomfort and his extremely low putting a lot of pressure on my pelvis and my back hurts a lot.

I think I feel the same. It's like I'm suddenly finding it hard to accept baby could be here so soon.

Hope your discomfort eases soon :hugs:
 
Regardless of how absolutely uncomfortable I am and really wanting to sleeeeep... I want him to stay in til at least 39 weeks. Preferably closer to my due date or even a few days past! I'd rather him get all the cooking he needs to get done than try to get him out early

Same here powell! I actually want him to be born around 39 weeks like my first or close to due date. My mum thinks I'm crazy lol
 
My mom keeps telling me he's gonna be early cuz my colostrum came in a few weeks ago and I'm 1CM. I'm like those are old wives tales woman! I think I will make it at least to within a few days of my due date if not go over! Which I'm okay with. I want him to come when he's ready. I don't wanna be induced again!! I will be fine carrying this little guy over my due date to give him a chance to come on his own! My induction was AWFUL
 
Hi Girlies :hi:

2:10 AM here and I'm wide awake sitting in the living room passing the time. I guess you could call it "situation normal" over here! Mother Nature sure is very clever, quite obviously preparing me for the fact that I'm likely to get zero sleep for the next however many years! Lol. :wacko:

My appointment on Friday went well, the doctor said on Thursday that they were needing to devise a plan to deliver me sometime between week 36-37 due to my preeclampsia progressing, but rather than set a date, they are going to continue to monitor me and hopefully I can still get to 37 weeks which is our goal. Of course if my blood pressure spikes to dangerous levels then these babies will need to be delivered. I am grateful for every single day these babies stay cooking at this stage, I want to avoid NICU time desperately.

Only 11 days today until I'm 37 weeks, that's not that long to wait now in the bigger scheme of things. Whilst I am pretty much incapacitated at this point, I want to enjoy the last few days we have left as a family of 3. I know that one on one time with our two year old daughter is going to be few and far between shortly, and I want to enjoy every last minute of it with her :cloud9:

No nesting going on over here, but only because I can barely move & everything is already ready to go! The nursery is set up, all the babies clothes are washed and sorted, car seat capsules ready, new pram put together & ready and hospital bags are packed! I even had my bikini area waxed and preened ready for lots of eyes to be peering at my womanhood shortly. I can barely shuffle a walk, but it was a priority :rofl:

Here's a pic of the babies nursery. Just need to bring the other cot in the room once the babies are out of their Moses blankets. DD is still using it and there's no hurry for it to go into the nursery yet :)

Sending best wishes to you all xx

Yesterday I went in for monitoring because Friday evening I was having very painful tightenings. They think they were contractions as they were being picked up on the monitor. Her movement had reduced too so i'm being monitored every morning until I have a scan on Wednesday this week. Contractions have stopped now and I am feeling her move so hopefully all is okay but I am glad they're keeping a close eye on us.

Knackered and uncomfortable! Trying to keep as busy as I can though. Hugs to all xx

Big hugs Dani :hugs: Hope you can get some rest. Very glad to read that they are keeping a close eye on you & baby girl. Keep us posted with how your scan goes on Wesnesday. Good luck! xx
 
Jonesbaby I'm still with you on #teamnosleep
I thought nature was clever for preparing me to be up all hours of the night when I hit that stage with #1 but he was a champ sleeper and started sleeping thru the night at 6 weeks! And shortly after that we mastered dream feeding so we both even slept thru night feeds! I can only hope this one does the same! But if not, at least I'm used to no sleep :shrug: :coffee:

I hope your littles are champ sleepers as well! We deserve it!! You more so since you have two on the way!

We've also been trying to soak up as much one-on-one time with #1 even tho he makes me wanna pull my hair out some days lol bless him. He's so sweet tho when he wants to be! I had a random violent puke yesterday where I had to run outside to puke off the porch cuz I didn't have time to make it to the bathroom and when he heard me he came running outside to rub my back and was asking "okay mommy? You sick?" Bless his sweet little heart!

I've been laying on the couch with a pillow under my chest and butt in the air, even washed dishes in the tub yesterday (most sites recommended getting on hands and knees and scrubbing floors-NOPE) to try to coax him into OFP. #1 was posterior and back labor sucked so I'm trying to do everything I can to avoid that! I need to get another yoga ball as I gave my last one away a few months after #1 was born. Been sitting straight up leaned forward a little to open my pelvis and use gravity to try to get him to turn anterior as he keeps rotating. I know we have plenty of time for him to turn but I wanna be proactive! No sitting in a reclined position which sucks because it's the most comfortable!

Anyone else doing this yet or am I weird? Lol
 
I havent been on here since the Facebookgroup was started but i decided to check back in. Hello again!
 
The FB group was too catty for me so I left it not long after it was made and stayed here :haha:
 
Jonesbaby I love your nursery! Cora-Lily doesn't have a room until we move but it'll be rainbow themed :)

2 days until my section! Feels very real all of a sudden!
 
Omg 2 days! Too exciting!

I still haven't found the fb group lol.. ah well :p
 
Wow that's soo close salamander!! Hope it all goes well for Wednesday! Very exciting :)

Last day of nursery is Thursday and they go back on the 12th April.... I reckon I'd probably have the baby before he goes back lol (due date is 8th)! It be nice to have him beginning April somewhere! I remember I had my first during xmas holidays and it was easy for my mum to get to me (I have 9 year old brother she takes to school plus she lives an hour away) so it would be nice for her to be able to be with me again x
 
38 weeks today. Spent all weekend trying to get contractions started. Cleaning the house, yard work, weeding, walking, and lots of squatting. My acid reflux isn't as bad so I know she has dropped down some. I think I'm more nervous this time around about labor and delivery as I know what it's like this time.

Salamander-- You are so close!
 
38 weeks today! Had my pre-section assessment. All booked for next Wed, fingers crossed I get there!!
 
Dropping in here! I am 37 weeks tomorrow. With my first I was induced at 41 weeks. As my doc says, "You walked into the hospital high, tight and closed.".. this time, at 36 weeks I was 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced - so way earlier than the first. For the last week or two I've had AWFUL lower back pain that radiates into my butt. Today it is so bad I am holding back tears and can hardly walk. Doctor says it's just baby's position in there leaning towards my back giving me the uncomfort. What do you guys think? Could it mean something else? Btw my induction date this time is 4-6-16.
