August 2016 babies thread

[iak]

Hey ladies ! How's everyone getting on? The weeks are flying by, we will be August soon. I hope the weather stays chilled for all of us

 

[Tanikins]

We're not getting on great. Baby has IUGR so will be having a June / July baby. As baby will be here at 37 at the latest

I never thought I'd wish to get to my due date :haha;

 

[Mrsmac02]

Doing good thanks iak, pretty tired this time round being pregnant with a toddler but feeling generally ok. What about you?

Tanikins sorry to hear about IUGR, do they know what's causing it? Hope baby hangs in there for a while longer hon x

The resistance on blood flow through cord is high

 

[Mrsmac02]

Oh gosh, that must be worrying for you. But they are hopefully keeping a close eye on you both. Sending

Going well here, trying to control my GD fasting numbers. So far 3 days of normal so I'm putting off the insulin.

 

[Emsabub]

Fairycat! I had the GD test done just over a week ago, I hated that nasty liquid Is it easy to maintain sugar? I never heard back so I'm guessing it's not there but I still get curious about everything!

I'm starting to get fed up of being pregnant now though. No swollen feet just yet but back to work next week after being off for a fortnight so going back to standing all day will probably change that

 

[Tanikins]

Been readmitted to hosp for more monitoring. There not happy with movements and some dips on ctg.

The scan was ok, weight gain was low and still behind at 30 weeks

 

[Mrsmac02]

Good that you're being monitored you're in the best place. Hope you're both ok tanikins. Keep us posted! X

 

[fairycat]

Ems - I didn't do the sugar drink, I skipped it to monitor my fasting levels and got myself into trouble. My after meals numbers are perfect (mostly always below 120), so I can't really answer your question. They say the fasting numbers can't be controlled, but the yogurt I eat at bedtime seems to be keeping it under 95.

Tani - I hope things get better for you and baby.

How are you getting on Tanikins ? When is your due date now ?

 

[Tanikins]

I was discharged around 1.15 am after a good ctg. It's always the case, Mw says it's the pressure so will try that if we have another issue

I'm due Aug 4th but it's really a waiting game now. I will be induce once I hit 36 weeks which is 7th July so not long now. Really hoping to make it to July atleast

 

[Amy1123]

Good luck Tanikins

I'm 32 weeks and since I had pre e with first pregnancy, I've now started NST's twice a week. So far so good. Went to the specialist Monday and she is still measuring 2 weeks ahead and they say she weighs 5lb 2oz.....I hope they are way off! I'm just taking it week by week since we won't know the plan til I get closer.
original plan is induce at 39 weeks if I don't go into labor and try for a vbac. But it will depend on size and how things progress. I really hope that's how it works out but whatever is going to keep us safe in the end is what matters

 

[Tanikins]

We are being induced on 11th July. Eeeeeek that's soon

 

[Mrsmac02]

Eek that is soon tanikins! Good luck, keep us posted 👍🏻

If you are induced at 39w Amy, what date would that be?

I can't believe there will be actual babies soon!!

August 15th I'll be 39 weeks
I have a feeling it could be earlier, idk, maybe because my son was born via c section at 36 weeks and I have a fear of getting pre e again and if they are correct this baby will probably be big. I'm having some anxiety now that I'm nearing the end, I just need to chill. Taking it day by day

 

[Mrsmac02]

fingers crossed you'll be just grand. That's the at after my due date so we might have babies on the same day! X

 

[Tanikins]

Scan today wasn't great but the sonogramer thinks that it may be down to over measuring on the last scan. He's now weighing 1.9kgs which is roughly 4lb 3oz with a 150g gain in 2 weeks. I know scans can be out 25% either way but

We're looking at about a 4lb 8oz birth weight, tiny :/

 

[Amy1123]

My OB told me they can be a pound off, I hope that's true for me lol
I can't imagine her being 5lbs already. She's almost the same weight as my son when he was born.

 

[Tanikins]

I was told all scans cam be 25% off. Kinda makes you wonder why they bother
