Morning ladies... Having quite a lot of tightenings today. Sooo much pressure on my bum/back too. Urgh, not comfortable. Hurry up baby!

Hi girls, many congratulations Reeds can't wait to see a picture.

I am fed up today had a really bad nights sleep everytime I turned it was so painful and I had to keep getting up to pee. The midwife appointment was not inspiring baby's head is engaged 2/5 but that means nothing hopefully he will decide to come out in the next week or so but I have a funny feeling that I am still going to be sitting here on 1st May waiting for this baby. Anyway enough moaning from you hope you are all okay. x

Ooooh Cottlestone - sounds promising! FXd it leads to something!

Well, I reverted back to my insomniac ways last night, even woth the anti-histamine Got to sleep about 5am, and had to be up and about for hospital apt at 10am. Hoping it was just a glitch and i'll have a better sleep tonight!

Anyway, had my scan and fluid has risen slightly again, and is now at 40 - and bubs has grown again - according to the estimate she is 9lb 8oz!!!!!!!!!! I honestly can't believe how big she is at 37+5. I know that weights can be out - bur she;s been measured almost every 2 weeks since 20 weeks, so her growth has been consistently on the 97th centile or off the chart!

Therefore, I think that it's more than likely that I'll opt for the C-Section next tuesday rather than induction, as she will likely be over 10lb by then and it scares the sh*t out of me that i will tear badly or that she gets stuck and they have to use forceps or do an emergency C-section!

I'm still a bit in shock i think! :0

gem i am the same with the waking up early i used to be well lazy b4 and sleep in till 12+ now lucky if sleep till 8 quite frustrating coz half way through the day i feel tired and have such a lack of energy.
weather is drizzly here which doesnt help, dull weather always makes me feel lazy.

 

[happy_hayley]

aww smeej i can understand why u are in shock hope it all works out bless ya

 

[caro103]

smeej, wow shes a fab size!

cottles, hope this is the start of something hun!

babybefore30, you never know hun, bubs might surprise you when you're least expecting!

Ahhh stretchies are getting worse, got them on my hips a couple wks ago and now it looks like they're starting on the bottom of my bump! come out baby!!!

 

[DanaBump]

on the sleep front, i'm the complete opposite, i could literally sleep forever and most of the time do. speaking of, can i please go back to bed?

Congrat reeds

Gem I'm also the same, used to be able to sleep till about 11 if I didn't have any plans but now I'm awake when oh leaves for work at 7.30. I do try and go back to sleep but its hard to get to sleep. I suppose its good for when our lo's arrive.

Smeej I think I would choose to have a c section also.

Caro I was doing really well and didn't have any stretchies but they suddenly appeared on my hips a couple of weeks ago oh well I'm sure they will fade.

Cottles hopefully its your turn next

 

[CottlestonPie]

Thanks ladies... Think it's just a bunch of braxtons they're not regular or anything. Second time he's teased me now!

Smeej, what a good size! Dont blame you for opting for c-sec though x

Caro... Stretchies are the devil I swear. Mine have been all over my belly from about 20 weeks but have recently expanded so much that they pop out and I've now got lumpy trails all over me

 

[Tasha360]

wow smeej what a good size. The growth scans were about a lb out for my twins.
Hayey your consultant sounds like a right idiot
Gem 9o clock isnt early lmao. Thats a lie in for me. Hope your feeling ok hun
Dana exciting news, glad the test was ok
Cottleston sounds like your bodys preparing itself nicely, i had loads of false starts and then a super quick labour
Caro i have some monster stretchies, they dont look too bad though when they start to fade. Im lucky my tummy sprung straight back too i was expecting it to be all saggy and wrinkly.

Health visitor came this morning both twins are 5lbs 14oz and 19 inches long

Congratulations Reeds xxx

been missing for a few days

looking after two is exausting ! i have no idea how people with more do it !

the ??cyst behind bens ear is growing and changed colour so another trip to the drs tomorrow

 

[caro103]

thanks girls, feels better sharing stretchie stories! lol.

I've just got back from meeting up with my antinatel group friends. 2 of them had babies last Thurs and Sat, so so gorgeous and my little man properly kicked when I held them! hehe. One was 7lb 8 and the other 9lb11, size difference was incredicle! the bigger baby actually felt heavy after a while! the mum of the smaller baby totally sprung back though, only gave birth last thurs and is already wearing pre-pregnancy clothes and doesn't look like she was ever preggers! let alone went 2 wks over!

can't believe v v soon i'll have my own little man to cuddle!

Rainbow, hopes Ben's ear is nothing hun xx

 

[bernina]

Tasha, glad the twins are doing well!!

Rainbow, hope the cyst is nothing to worry about, but of course always best to get it checked out. Hopefully they can tell you what to do about it (if anything) tomorrow and not keep you waiting.

Smeej, sorry you had another sleepless night. Hope it was a fluke and that the meds work tonight. I think I'd opt for the scheduled section as well. Induction sounds painful with a large baby!!

Babybefore30, sorry you had such a rough night. Hope baby starts to make some moves for an exit soon.

No news on the baby front here. Lost a smidge more plug but nothing really. Barely any BH, no backache or cramping, nothing. Little one is apparently quite cozy in there. Next appt is Friday, hoping for some more dilation and effacement but not holding my breath about it.

 

[lilgemsy]

Tasha - Glad the twins are doing well x

Rainbow - Ohh hope the cysty thing is nothing to worry about. Its good that youre getting it checked asap x

Smeej - Dont blame you for opting for c-sec! Think I would too having to push a baby that big out! Very good weight though lol.

Ahhhhhhh pains today. But they dont seem regular so dont think anything will come of them but ohhhh my fook they hurt lol.

Hi

Haven't been on this thread in a while, I loose track so quickly.

9 babies born already! Congratulations to all.

Can't believe our month starts in 2 days!

 

[chocojen]

Hi ladies,

Well I have had another nice day socialising! Caught up with 2 other ladies who I worked with in my last job, one of them gave me a bunch of flowers for mothers day!!!

Anyone else hungry the whole time at the moment? I just cant seem to get full no matter how much I eat! It is really uncomfortable being hungry but eating too much gives me indigestion and then I start to feel faint. I am literally going through rennie like they are smarties.

 

[CharmedKirsty]
