August Mummies 2011 - 28 baby boys, 14 baby girls, and 4 beautiful angels so far xxx

thanks tjw!! and glad everything went ok for you in the hospital!! god its all becoming so real with all this labour talk. freaking me out a little but i know at the end of it ill have a beautiful little girl and its all worth it!! hope yous all doing great!! x
 
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:hi: I've added you to first post :)

That's great news! Glad all is well and I bet you feel better knowing everything will be ok if he was born now. Do you think you're going to go to 37/38 weeks? Sounds to me like he wants to come out asap!!!

eandc123- Glad your appointment went well :)

For the past few weeks now, I've been noticing my boy breathing. It's not like hiccuping or a pulse. My midwife confirmed yesterday that it is breathing (well not actual breathing as he would swollow the fluid, just his lungs getting ready for the big day) It's quite rare, and you're more likely to see it if this is not your first baby.
I noticed him doing it for a long time today, so I managed to record it. Will have to post it up here later. It's crazy to see!
 
my OH said it looked like my baby bump was "breathing" the other day...i just dismissed him! lol...oooopsie:blush: sorry OH! :haha:

Haha! My hubby pointed it out to me too, but couldn't believe it was actual breathing :haha:

Here's the video:

ProudMommy - that is so cool!!! How great that you were able to capture that.

My LO is so small no one but me can feel her. DH hasn't even felt a kick yet :cry:

Aww hun. I can understand why that's really upsetting you. But be strong, your little one is coming on great! You've got a beautiful little fighter in that tummy of yours xxx :flower:
 
I haven't noticed baby breathing from the outside of my belly but I have watched him practice breathing on ultrsound a few times and its really neat!!
 
Love the video :).

I'm concerned that LO has turned again. He was head down, but as of this morning I am getting a really round lump right at the top of my bump that is fairly hard. At first I thought maybe Braxton Hicks since my entire bump was tight, but now its moving side to side?

I guess anything is possible, I just don't see how it can be his bottom up there since it is seriously right between my boobs lol
 
Sneak peek of maternity pics! more to come!

Beautiful pics!! :)

Sunshinegirl- I bought some RLT the other day, but midwife told me not to use it because I didn't have any problems delivering in my other pregnancies and there maybe a chance I have to be induced. But might start taking them once I've been to the hospital in 2 weeks to find out what's happening and if I can go to 40 weeks.
They will do wonders for period pain though, so will keep them for when I've finished breastfeeding.

jennthompson- I think this one might of flipped again too. I've been bouncing away on my gym ball today as I've had a lot of pressure pain. But that's gone now and can feel a hard ball at the top. Could still be his butt though.
 
Hi girls!
I just wanted to share a few pics of baby Cullen, taken yesterday on our second wedding anniversary :baby:

Hey all. I hope every one is O.K.

I got back from the British Grand Prix yesterday but im still flaked, my feet still hurt from all the walking but it was fantastic and the camping wasnt bad either.

Im planning on heading to bed very soon so ill be back on in the morning to catch up on all that I have missed.

I had a MW apt today she wasnt sure if LO was still breech or not and has arranged for me to attend the VBAC clinic on the 29th. :happydance:

xx
 
Has anyone tried reflexology to induce labour? A friend has bought me a voucher for labour inducing accupuncture and reflexology. I am not to keen on the thought of accupuncture!
I have a feeling baby will be here soon! I keep getting really bad pains in my cervix, they last for about 10mins and are really uncomfortable! I have a MW appointment on thursday, I'm so excited lol x
