hello ladies

im feeling so tired today and have yet again been getting more engaging pains...how low does this boy want to get lol im seeing the mw tomo. it takes me ages to get there just to be seen late and hardly anything worth while being said

Kylarsmom and sammiegrace - love the pics!!!

I had my weekly scan today. She gained another 3 oz - so 2 lb 6 oz and over 1000 grams Blood flow was still stable, but my fluid is starting to get low, only 5 today.

But we bought another week - which is great. We wanted to make it to 34 weeks and 1000 grams and we did, so I'm looking at anything more as gravy. Our next scan is Monday, and we'll see how the fluid looks from there.

In the meantime, she is definitely breech and kicking the crap out of my cervix, ouch.

Great news Auntbug!!

 

[Kylarsmom]

Great news aunt bug!! each week is a milestone, for sure!!!!!!

Ok so how do you know if you've lost your plug?? I had snot stuff in my undies this morning.. ive had some before but it wasnt as snotty looking as todays was.. The dr said the other stuff was prob my cervix softening, so i wonder if thats what todays was as well, or if it was part of my plug? It didnt look like a plug.. lol

 

[Vivienne]

Nice one auntbug!

Pffttt I'm banking on bubs hanging on for another 4 weeks. He's too comfy in there to leave.
Having a scan today as apparently I look and feel a bit big for 35 weeks and I have a fibroid all tucked up in there too.

Love the breathing vid, too cool

 

[AuntBug]

Good luck on your scan Vivienne xx

how weird we are all having the same my stomach has been terrible, actually worried I have a bug I cant keep anything in me since last night and I feel so weak and dizzy!
fingers crossed markandannie
wow proudmommy that video is amazing!
hi trixy, kimberly and raerae
kylarsmum how exciting, good luck! and lovely pics
sammie adorable 3d pics
auntbug, so pleased LO is gaining again

my LO feels to be moving from breech to transverse and back again today im back to getting kicks out one side and punches at the other, so far round to my hips! my MW couldnt make the scan on saturday so hasnt been able to check the fluid or cord in case she needs to turn baby, I dont like the sound of that though. I can still have my HB if baby is breech but its a bit scary tbh. Please get head down LO!

 

[SammieGrace]

thanks everyone for your comments on the pics! I just looooovee him already and can't wait to meet my Cullen. He definitely has my DH's nose! I hadn't seen him in 14 weeks and it just felt like too long...

 

[ProudMommy26]

Hope it goes well at the VBAC clinic Stef

Loving the pics Sammie, sooooo cute!!!

Kylarsmom- That snotty stuff sounds like your plug to me. I've been gradually losing mine and it's like it came out of my nose Ewww.

That's brilliant news Auntbug!

Jodie- I've been having that feeling too. This little one has been enjoying kicking the hell out of my hips... and it hurts

Sorry this is tmi, but all day yesterday and night I've been having really bad diarrhea, and still have it this morning. There's a lot of stomach bugs going round here, so I'm guessing it's that but my stomach has been so hard because of it. Going to the docs to see if there's anything I can take.

 

[Stef]

Morning

Kylarsmom, love the pics, especially the 1st one its fantastic

Sammiegrace - those pics are fab.

Proudmommy, I hope it passes soon and is just a 24 hr bug... with out sounding like your mum makes sure you drink plenty to keep hydrated.

AuntBug - sounds like your LO is making great progress ill keep my fingers crossed that you can buy a few more weeks.

Ive read back over the pages that I have missed and I have to say that awful tiredness stage has hit me again too sadly. It makes it so difficult and im finding i have a short fuse! My OH also wont cook, I hate that. He just uses the same lame excuse he cant cook... Grrr!! Learn then, how does he think I managed to cook. Lazy devil.

Today I have an appointment with the anaesthetist at the hospital. I dont really know what goes on in these appointments. But hey ho we will soon see. For the rest of the day we are finally going to be sorting out the nursery etc. Wahoo!

[moomin_troll]

im seeing the mw today and zanes in a bad mood so thats not going to make the trip to the docs easy i really need to learn to drive.

last night and today ive been getting afew of the same feelings i had when early labour with zane started, but i doubt the mw will even listen to me because contractions arent happening.

i just feel like stayin in bed all day today

 

[mothercabbage]

all these labour symptoms are sounding familiar...ive had loose stools, bad BH and "snotty" stuff in pants YUK! maybe its normal for this stage in pregnancy not that i remember it with the other 2 ive had..anyone checked their cervix.....?? MW here dont check ours....what should it feel like at this stage? ive read high n firm...mine is squishy and easy to reach i dont want to have this baby for another 2 weeks at least!!

Didn't know you could check yourself. Is there anywhere that tells you how to do it? If it's soft and squishy, that sounds like things could be progressing for you?

Had a word with my doctor. Turns out I've got a bad bug and infection. I've come down with a nasty cold too and so has my 3 yr old. Think it's from my 5 yr old's school again.
Just got to keep having water.

Hope your appointments go well moomin and Stef

 

[MamaHeather]

Hi ladies! Just wanted to update all the August mommies that we had our baby yesterday morning, at 35w3d! He is currently in the NICU for breathing issues, but making huge strides! We will both be here in the hospital for a little while, but we are thrilled to think about the day when we are all together again, at home! Thanks for the good company, August mommies! Good luck to you!
