Hi Kimberly Glad to have another August mummy!

 

[Kylarsmom]

Im at a 3!!! 50% effaced and baby is fully engaged! Not sure if I will make it 2 more weeks or not!! I'm nervous though!!! Didn't go into spontaneous labor with Kylar, although they will still do the csection if i do go into labor !

Kimber

and Kylarsmum ahh 3cms is good!!! Jealous a little bit hehe!

 

[ProudMommy26]

WOW! How exciting Kylarsmom. Could be anytime for you now.

Hope everything is ok tjw!!!

Welcome Kimber

I definitely think something has happened over night. I am getting really bad stomach aches and getting these throbbing pains down there Also feels like something is pinching and my waters feel like they are going to go. I have to empty my bladder every 20 mins too. Not sure what's going on.
Pelvic pain is getting so painful now and started to get high and low back ache. Starting to question whether I'll go into labout soon. Hope he stays in there for another 2 weeks!!!

Proudmummy... what does it feel like when your waters are about to go? I'm with you on the pelvic pressure and the peeing every 20 mins! Hope you feel a bit better soon!

Thanks hun!
When my waters went with my first, I remember feeling really heavy and then felt this 'pop' and they went in the bath. In a matter of minutes I dialated up to 5 cm's. Good job I was in hospital lol. I'm feeling the same heavyness this time but I'm not sure whether it's his head that's giving me all the pressure. It feels like a bulging feeling??

Hi kimberley.

Oooooo it's getting exciting with all these labour signs!! Not long for bambinos galore! I don't think i've had any signs yet. I've been getting pressure pains behind my pubic bone but i'm guessing that's just engaging. But 'long legs' in there is still stick it's bum/legs out and winding me.

Thanks for the replies for strep b. I thought it was routine now. I'll have to scan through my magazines to see where i saw it. Might be just my newly dunce brain making things up again.

 

[mothercabbage]

i always go over term, so i think my "signs" are just teaseing me ill be a september mummy i think

Try to take it easy when you can! Looks like all our babies want to come out lol!

I had Group B strep with my first pregnancy, so will ask at my hospital next week if they do tests for this, just incase.

BTW, Thought I'd add. Bodyshop have a 50% sale off all the bodybutters and showergels etc and someone posted on these forums that there's also a 50% code you can use on top of that. Here it is: HELLO50 (you can't use it after wednesday though)
I've just got a load of things for my hospital bag and for our bathroom ready for when the baby is here. Bargain!!

Oh and it's free delivery too when you spend over £20

Hope you all have a great day

ahh I remember that bulging feeling .... vaguely! My waters didn't go until 10 mins before he was born and I was out of it on Pethidine so can't remember much It seems def true being pregnant gets worse with each baby!!

 

[tjw]

Hi all, sorry I didn't update when I got home but I was absolutely shattered!! It was confirmed to be a bloody show, he only moved twice while being monitored and contractions stopped by themselves after just over 2hrs. His heartrate was stable though so they said I could come home, but if movement stays low I have to go back in. (Though this morning he's a right active lil monkey!!). I'm 3cm dilated and 80% effaced. Had a really good midwife on L&D last night, very experienced. She said I do still have a chance of making it to the induction in just under 4wks, but that in her opinion I'm likely to labour and birth in around 3wks. She also set my mind at rest by telling us that with his size and previous condition of Ruby when she was born at 36wks, that even if I had him in the next few days, he would need minimal support as he is a good size and his lungs are now mature (she said lungs are actually mature before 34wks which is why they don't stop labour if it starts from that point but that inductions/sections etc are planned for later because baby needs to develop fat deposits to be able to regulate their temperature, however gestational diabetes causes the fat deposits to be formed earlier which is why they put on weight so quickly).



Welcome Kimber I've added you to first post

Hi, I've only just found this group, I'm due on 7th August with a boy, hoping he comes early though as he's a big brute and I struggled to get my first at 8lb 2oz out!!! Also I don't have any bump buddies...not new to B&B just a little shy I guess so if anyone has any spare room for a new buddy let me know.

 

[sunshinegirl]

Hi Kimber & raeraefish welcome to the group.

Well ladies I think baby girl has dropped finally. I feeling more pressure down low today and bump I think looks slightly lower. I might be just imagining this cos I want baby girl to come early or on time. With only 3 weeks left to my due date want to start seeing a few more signs.

I am so jealous of you ladies getting these early signs already. Can't wait to see everyone baby pictures though its all getting so close.

 

[tjw]

Welcome raeraefish :wave: have added you to first post

SunshineGirl, have you tried a birthing ball? I hear they're quite good when it comes to getting baba to engage. I have one but haven't used it yet due to the lil tinker trying to burst out too early. (yes, I admit it, I'm a coward lol)

 

[eandc123]

Glad it went well TJW. At least you can rest your mind knowing LO is ok if he does make an early appearance

I've just come back from midwife and everything is a-ok Seems like this pregnancy malarky is an ok game And it seems like little bambino has started to engage I know it doesn't mean much but it's the beginning of the end! Eeeks. Exciting and vv scary.

 

[eandc123]

Midwife also said LO is measuring dead on
So screw you and 2 fingers up to all those who say I'm massive. Midwife says I'm fine then I'm fine
