Miss Fox - Lets hope its the start of something for you x

Loopy - Good luck today x

Amethyst - Hope youre feeling better soon hun. Wont you need a tetnus or something for the cut off the glass? :/
And really hope your LO hasnt flipped back! -hugs- x

Had my scan
Baby is showing a few signs of downs syndrome but they said they dont think it will be that but they cant completely rule it out. Just have to wait and see what happens when he's born basically.
Hes 4 weeks behind in growth but theyre putting that down to me and FOB being small ourselves therefore producing a baby with small genes.
Ollie might need a small op on kidneys when he's born, or at the very least antibiotics to sort out his kidneys.
Have to go to another hospital at 2pm so should find out more there.

Gem hope everything turns out for the best. You sound very positive, I admire you. What ever happens you will be a brilliant mum.

Good luck today reeds, can't wait to see the pics. I'm jealous its not my turn.

I'm constantly getting the stabbing pains in my cervix. I find them so uncomfortable

 

[Emmy'sMommy]

Full term today..YAY Now this little girl can come anytime between now and my c-section at 39 weeks!!!

 

[loopy82]

Thanks for all the good wishes everyone. Am back from the hospital but unfortunately the ECV didn't work and they don't think it will if they try again. Now have to decide between a c-section or vaginal breech birth, wrote a bit more here if anyone wants to read: https://www.babyandbump.com/pregnancy-third-trimester/572947-failed-ecv-vaginal-breech.html

Hope everyone's appointments have gone well and those still feeling rotten feel better soon x

 

[DanaBump]

Gem, good luck this afternoon! fx'ed your little man just needs some antibiotics when he's born xx

loopey, sorry bubs didn't turn. Afraid I haven't any advice on that

Dana and Emmy's congrats on full term

Sandi-good luck today hun!

Gertrude-so hope you don't have pre-e hun , will check out the home birth thread for more info .

afm nesting instinct seems to have kicked back in and I feel strangely energetic at the moment! its taking effort just to sit and catch up on here rather than dust the lounge! lol. Weird!

And I've been having lots of nose bleeds , tmi but yesterday it took me about 20mins to get it to stop and passed the hugest clot ever , not sure if I should be calling anyone about those? bp was fine at last wks appt though and I don't really have any other signs of problems!? xx

 

[Tasha360]

Good luck this afternoon Gem xx

loopy sorry it didnt work hun, ill go read your thread now. My 2nd twin was born breec

Hope alls going well Reeds and you get to meet your little man today xx

 

[CottlestonPie]

Loopy I'm sorry it didn't work hun... I read your thread and it sounds like you're in good, capable hands if you decided to have a breech vaginal birth. They sound confindent in their (and your) capabilities which is reassuring... My hospital flat out refuse to deliver breech without c-section if you're a first time mum. Whichever way you choose, you'll have bubs in your arms soon enough xx

Gem, I hope everything goes well with your next appointment. You sound very optimistic and I've got my fingers crossed for you and LO that everything goes smoothly xx

I've been incredibly lazy today. Got up, slung a dressing gown on and watched 2hrs of tv. Just stood up and by the time I got upstairs (tmi coming up, soz) my thighs were wet. Think it's discharge/plug/something rather than waters but it shocked me how much there was in such a short time. I'm going to keep an eye on it but as with the pains and tightenings that vanished into nowhere, I'm not taking it as a sign of anything yet!

 

[gertrude]

caro - I had a massive nosebleed too and mentioned it today in case it was relevant to the BP and the MW said it was normal towards the end and only if they're frequent to be worried

I've had 5 now, the last 4 I think I just re-triggered a delicate place after the first one

just keep an eye on it - I had #4 because I just had to get rid of the clot!

 

[loopy82]

Did think of you Tasha, remembered Harley was breech and you had a perfect delivery. I do think I'm lucky to be in the area I'm in, there does seem to be a lot more choice and support here than some of you have received. I definitely would like to try for a natural birth, have got some time to decide at least.

 

[smeej]

Gem - you are very brave and will be a brilliant mum! Everything Xd for positive new this afternoon hun xx

loopy - sorry that bubs didn't turn My friend succesfully had a vaginal breech birth a few months ago - and they didn't even know she was breech until her bum appeared instead of the head! They are both now doing great!

Sandi - best of luck for today

Gertrude - i truly hope it's not Pre Eclampsia,I'll go and read your thread xx

Sorry if Ive missed anyone!


WEll, I finally got some sleep about 8am - 1pm - ridiculous isn't it! I think I've become nocturnal! Ive got the docs at 3.30 so hope they can help with something.

Iv'e rad that some anti-histamines that cause drowsiness are safe for pregnancy - has anyone used these?
xx

 

[bernina]

Congrats on full term gals!!!!

Gem, I really admire your strength and positive attitude. Best of luck with the second scan. Continuing to pray that everything will be perfect with Ollie and your delivery.

Gertrude, sorry to hear about the pre e scare, so hoping that's not the case.

Loopy, sorry the turn didn't work, will read up in your other post but sounds like you're in very good hands.

Smeej, I think I caught your insomnia last night, no fun! I'm told Benedryl is safe during pregnancy and it always makes me sleepy (it's an antihistamine) not sure if or what name it's sold under over there. I guess on the positive side you're on little one's schedule, waking at night and sleeping during the day

 

[gertrude]

hoping your appointment is going well gem x
