***April Sweet Peas*** 204 Babies

[MrsGlitz]

Oh I get that too, it really is uncomfortable isn't it?! I have tried prodding Baby H to get him to move but he's stubborn like his parents!

 

[mrsraggle]

Sounds like misery, MrsGlitz!
I was about to start complaining about the bum which appears to be poking out from beneath my ribs (and causing all sorts of discomfort), but now I'm thinking I might be a bit lucky that's all I've got to moan about!!

I'm getting this lots tonight! Baby keeps rolling under my ribs and it's really uncomfortable, then shifts over a bit and that's nice, and then goes back to uncomfy! Cheeky moo!

I just read that another April sweet pea was born today. I updated on the first page.

Wow scary stuff to think their are now 8 births! X

Sounds like we're all as fed-up as each other...

Had a rubbish nights sleep again last night, just couldn't get comfortable at all. Feeling absolutely exhausted now Then to top it all, I was sick twice this morning!! Harry's being a little star, sitting in his highchair watching In The Night Garden, but I know I need to get out and about with him as he must be just as bored sitting around the house as I am.

We see the consultant on Friday at 4pm, but don't really want to moan to him too much as I'm worried he'll just get us booked in for a C-Sec again... Really wanted to try for a VBAC, but I'm feeling so uncomfortable now that I just want baby here already!

My friend works with a girl who was due a couple of days after us, but she had her baby Saturday evening... Just kept thinking "why couldn't that be us"...

SOOOOOOOO fed-up now.

Any advice?? Would you push for a C-Sec a couple of weeks early? Or wait things out?

 

[MrsGlitz]

I am really hoping for an induction now. I am so uncomfortable, not sleeping, it is really hard to not take codeine. Now when Baby H rolls around it really hurts. And I feel really nauseous and sick still, I wasn't even sick in first tri just a little nauseous.

 

[knightowl82]

i feel ready to be done, feeling the whole morning sickness coming back and not sleeping well at all...i just can't wait for him to be here already...guess I'm just too impatient lol

 

[bump_wanted]

nice to know we're all feeling the same...we're all little bundles of joy arent we! im still getting contractions every so often due to this irretable uterus thats been almost 2 weeks now i tried to have words with my little Ollie last night to come out but he just shoved his bum out n got the hiccups so i dont think he was listening to me lol im pretty sure his head is engaged now tho cause im carrying sooooo low ah ladies the end is near just not near enough xxx

 

[bump_wanted]

o meant to say congrats to our newest sweetpea! xx

 

[saffy1978]

I'm so utterly done with being pregnant! Fed up of being worried all the time and in pain. Been having all the signs of pre term labour the past few days... seeing mw later on today to check if everything is ok. Just want LO to hang on another week! (or 4 preferably!!) x

 

[KittenKat]

Not sure if doing my usual walk into town and back to do the food shop was the best idea, after yesterday getting the aching thighs and oddly occasional bump pains. Legs now aches bad and bump just aches more, but then again if something is starting for sure the walk should help lol, had 4 days of latent labour with DD so could do without that again if this is the case, 4 days with very regular contractions really knackered my other half out

God I am babbling today, oh the joys of typing what is rattling through my pregnancy riddled brain hehe, may try and see community MW on Thurs if I am still feeling like I am now and nothing has actually happened

 

[Sunflowers]

Kimmy I said that this morning on the spd thread - I really really wanted a vbac too considering the implications of not driving etc for 6 weeks when you've got a young toddler at home too! But, like you, I am starting to struggle with the pain now and it's not that I'm wanting the birth definitely at 39 weeks or anything but I don't know how my pelvis is going to go with the contractions, last time an epidural (that was very overblocked) did nothing for the pain in my pelvis, it was agony.. But I'm seeing the consultant on friday, at the moment the moment I'm going with still asking for the vbac but having it on my notes in big capital letters that if I can't cope with the pain in my pelvis that there is a very low threshold for section!

 

[sabriena]

Congrats to mandzzzz!

I've actually been back to feeling good besides the night time aches of turning over and getting out of bed. My sister had a dream though that I went into labor early. I told her that I hope that's true because I want to meet this little guy! Not too soon though, I don't want him to have any problems!

 

[Luke's_mummy]

Can i moan please?
I'm sooooo tired of being pregnant! I ache constantly and I'm exhausted. I just really want my little man here now :'( I don't know how i can manage another 5 weeks of this! Everyone keeps telling me they think I'll havr little man early, and i so hope that they are right!!!! I want them to stop though cause i think they are going to jinx me! I ache constantly, and have been getting 'period' pains on and off for the past couple of days, but i'm sure its nothing! I just don't know how much longer i can cope with this, im so uncomfy and sleeping is almost impossibel and im so tired! I really dont think i can cope with much more of this, i don't know what i'll do if he goes over his EDD...

 

[MrsGlitz]

Saw consultant today and am being examined at 37+6 to see if I am favourable
for induction!

 

[bump_wanted]

ah MrsGlitz thatd be great for you...fingers crossed everything is good to go xx

 

[Shinning_Star]

I'm hoping to push my induction forward to 37 + 6 My daughter was born at this point, well 36 by my dates and she weighed in at 7lb 7oz and the day before a scan estimated her at 7lb 10 oz, so if i get a similar weight i'll be going for that! Feel bit guilty about it though right from beginning i've just been wishing this pregnancy over and done with!

It's not the pregnancy as such as far as pregnancy goes it's been a good one but it's the flippin spd that came with it, i can honestly say i've had little things bothering me, ie didn't feel bubs move until 30 weeks, lol I know crazy, but kept being monitered and all was fine, then blood pressures been up but am seriusly thinking was all to do with the pain I was in getting to the appointments when it was taken. I had no sickness really nausea but not actual sickness, I had no headaches, lol so besides the flippin spd this pregnancy hasn't been so bad, and it's only the spd thats making me wish it was all done and dusted and bubs safely in my arms.

So anyway ladies, as much as it's uncomfy and can't walk etc etc, just remember it's pregnancy and the end will come BUT if you stress over it wishing to go early then chnaces are you won't! Try and enjoy it if you can, I know it's only now i'm feeling a bit fond of my bump be it heavy and uncomfy it's a nice buzzy feeling (not physical feeling.) that makes me smile when this one decides to stick it's bottom out! LOL

ANyway I really should go to sleep physio tomor, midwife wed. It's all whizzing by now!

Huge hugs, and soothing massages to all with aches and pains!

I thought last night might be "it". Had contractions every 6-8 minutes for 4-5 hours then they fizzled out! Had dr appt today adn I'm 2cm and 60%. Had another ultrasound also. Last week at 35.5 weeks baby was measuring 8lbs 3oz. Today at 36.5 weeks hes measuring 8lbs 10oz. REALLY hoping he comes in a few days when I'm 37 weeks!

 

[bump_wanted]

god 6 - 8 mins how gutted you mustve been when they went away! still tho 2cms is good!

just a random question for everyone is it normal that ive not had an internal exam when im 37 weeks...just wondered not that im complaining that i want one or anything lol xx

 

[Sunflowers]

It's very much an american thing I think to have a V/E at 37 weeks, it wouldn't be done here until you were either in labour or having sweeps when you're overdue!
