:wave: ladies..thought id drop back in to see how everyone is..
at my last MW app(33+3 weeks) baby was breech but im pretty sure he has turned now..FXd anyway, im not having the ECV if he hasnt, but i dont want a c-sec either, im giving him as much time to turn as i can so they can book the section as late as possible, but i feel he has turned and i can do it "normally" hope your all well, i see we have come to the end of our tickers.. its almost time!!! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

Hi hun :wave:
Fingers crossed your little one has turned! But MW's are not always right. The MW has been saying this one has been breech for the last few weeks. But it was his butt that she was feeling all along and not his head haha! Babies can turn anytime though
Not long to go now. (I know I keep saying that but squeeeeeeeeee!!!!! )

it was a stand in MW i saw at 33+3 weeks(supposed to be 34 week app:dohh)she said it was his head then his bum then his head again at my ribs...well what ever it was he has turned, so if he wasnt breech b4 he is now but kicks are high and pressure behind pubic bone suggests he head down xxxxxxxxx

[AuntBug]

mothercabbage, we all have days where it gets the best of us. Your LO will be here before you know it.

 

[Mark&Annie]

Oh you poor thing! This is the tough last few weeks, I feel I can't breathe or get comfortable :/
When Joshua doesn't want to sleep and I deperately do, I put him in his travel cot infront of kids TV and have a nap! I didn't realise how good I had it with Joshua, having another little one to look after and being pregnant is tough, I dunno how Mums with 3,4,5 kids do it!!!

 

[mothercabbage]

i have no idea how people cope with a couple of LO under 2 and be preg! id just die!
its hot here too so thats getting to me, usually love the sun but cant bear it these days...roll on August!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanx for the sympathy girls

 

[AuntBug]

Kylarsmom - do i remember that you're in OK? I saw it's supposed to be 107 with the heat index on Tulsa today, are you getting this heat? How are you managing, I can barely at and my hot and humid 90s, I just won't leave the house

 

[ProudMommy26]

Mothercabbage- Bless you hun and totally understand how you feel. I've been feeling utter cripe the last few weeks and my energy is just getting worse Fingers crossed you start to feel a bit better over the next few days.
My BH contractions really hurt too, especially at night and I have to pee about 15 times in the middle of the night. I might aswell just live on the toilet for the rest of this pregnancy. Maybe they should make a nappy for us pregnant women, so we can get some sleep
I hope these last 6-8 weeks go quick for us... and the hot weather can stay away too until our baby's are here lol.

 

[xxyjadexx]

sorry your having a crappy time mothercabbage!
i hope TJW is ok after her appointment yesterday!

 

[CharlieKeys]

aww mothercabbage - I hope you feel a bit happier soon! (ps. I know how it feels with the OH refusing to cook!!!) When baby drops maybe it will be a bit better? More relief where the ribs are.... not so nice for the pelvis! It's not long though and soon we'll all have our little babies

Hello ladies, sorry not been on

Spent whole day at hosp yesterday... follow up ctg, obstetrician, diabetic team, and anaesthetist.... lol was absolutely exhausted when I got back.

ctg was fine, good stable heartrate with a baseline of 138 (way lower than Ruby who had a baserate of 178 when she was still a lil womb monkey! So I guess maybe the heartrate gender prediction could be accurate??)

obstetrician confirmed I will not be allowed to go past 38wks and even said that the pain I get in my section scar when walking would even mean an earlier induction if it gets to the point where I can't cope with it anymore. At the moment I can only walk 10 mins before it hurts and another 10-15 mins before it's so excrutiating it sets contractions off, and luckily I live in a bungalow cos I can't even walk up the stairs to the bathroom at my dad's cos it pulls at the scar so much I'm doubled over before reaching the top step

diabetic team are really pleased with my progress, and all is good so far.

anaesthetist was really friendly and chatty and he agreed with my plans to have gas and air for as long as I can cope before having a walking epidural (not that they'll let me walk lol but I can control the amount myself and will still be able to feel the contractions and know when to push myself )

So all in all a very long but very positive day

EDIT: Have a growth scan in 2wks and depending on his size they may bring induction forward anyway as they are concerned my scar may rupture if he's too big

 

[AuntBug]

Glad to hear things went well tjw

 

[Kylarsmom]

Im sorry mothercabbage, i feel like that some days too, but i love taht you called your DH a twat!! LOL!

Aunt bug- yes its been record breaking heat, this is the 11th day in a row for over 100's! Some days its even gotten to 110 or so! its insane! Thank GOD for a/c or i'd of been in labor already! we went to the mall today and i seriously needed a wheelchair i could barely make it from the car to the inside bc of the heat!!

 

[AuntBug]

Well, it looks like my DH is nesting instead of me he's spent the last 10 hours cleaning and setting up the nursery. Crib is now together, changing table/dresser together, room cleaned up, he even rented a carpet cleaner and cleaned our carpets!

I've spent most of the day on the couch with the dogs

Not long now ladies.

I'm hoping to hold out to 39 weeks, anything under 38 here and they call it prem.

Have a growth scan this week as I am 34 but measuring 37 and it looks like he's a footling breech Will be doubling my efforts to have him turn as I really don't want a c-sect as you are forbidden to drive for 6 weeks after and I need to drive!!!!

 

[BattyNora]

I can't believe how close its getting.....its the 10th July already......it's going so quick it's beginning to freak me out!
