Beach Bumps - July Rainbows

Aw bd I'm sorry to hear that.. surely at 36 weeks they should be considering your options.. Do they think baby will still turn? Xxx

 

[BeautifulD]

He said he could turn but its unlike at this stage as they run out of room. Tbh I just want him out now, I'm so uncomfortable I litterally can't do anything

 

[Dollybird]

Yeh I thought it was unlikely. Strange that they wont just organise things for u.. Don't see the point in them leaving u another week before deciding. Wish I could say something to make it better xxx

GIY - let us know what MW says.

Dolly - your hubby needs to pull his finger out and get off your back (it's probs sore enough as it is). I showed my hubby this video and it helped him understand how much physical strain I'm under. Plus I added the fatigue, hormones, itchiness, anxiety and generally feeling like a whale! Deffo don't push yourself!

BD - can't believe they're not organising anything for you! So frustrating!

I'm watching OBEM for the first time all pregnancy! It's going to be emotional!

 

[BeautifulD]

Oh fj, grab some tissues!! Obem never fails to set me off!!

 

[girlinyork]

BD, hopefully you won't need to wait too long after the scan to get scheduled in? x

 

[flapjack10]

Aww there's a lesbian couple and one girl has already had a baby and now it's the other one's turn! Dead sweet! Imagine if your partner knew what you were going through? Then again every pregnancy/birth is different so they could have been a magical pregnancy unicorn and had a painless labour. Then you have an awful pregnancy and 50 hour labour! They'd think you were a drama queen. Maybe it's best men can't go through this!

[Dollybird]

Thanks fj!! I have texted him that link and told him
To watch it! Haha! Xxx

 

[BeautifulD]

He said 39 weeks.... worst fear! I mean what if I go into labour before then! ? Emergency c section and a whole lot of stress! Xx

 

[girlinyork]

My midwife hasn't got her phone on :/ I don't want to call triage because they have my dates a day off and in their eyes I'm 36+6 and they'll count me as preterm and ask me to go in which I don't want to have to do unless it's really necessary

 

[BeautifulD]

I would say GIY that if the pains are still coming then call... better to get checked out honey xx

 

[A1983]

Yeah plus it's only one day off full term in their eyes?

Go Dolly-tell him! Maybe we should swap houses-I can't stop cleaning and loving the smell of bleach!! And increases ocd cleaning = more nagging ha ha 'don't leave that there', 'that's in the wrong pile', 'how many times do I have to tell you?'...oops!! Im such a nag atm!

[ladykara]

Beautiful- sorry to hear that honey, but there is still time, I have everything crossed for you x

GIY- I was getting cramps a few days ago, had a bath and it went... I wish they would come back !!! X

Yesterday and today everything seems to hurt, walking, sitting everything... My hips kill. Still hoping to go naturally, not sure I want to be induced now because its meant to hurt more...

Most strangest thing wishing for pains...x

 

[merristems]

Giy i hope you are feeling ok, i know you dont want to call and if this is the latent stage then it may not even be nessicary but i think you should call. Is there any pattern?
Bd sorry to hear consultant was uncooperative! I guess he hopes babe may still turn and every day in there is for his benefit. If you do labour early then they will be ready for you especially if you say how fast others were, cor you dont want to birth him breechy!
Fj lol jaffa cake! I forced a pint of rlt down this am thought that wasenough for one day!
A1983 sounds a bit like varicose viens down there ouch! tmi Im tender too, i have started the massage but only managed one finger inside a little way and thumb on outside for max 10secs! Its getting a little better now, 3 days in but im not lovin it. I think im especially tender because we havent dtd since 4months! Poor hubby.
Where are all our USA bumps? Hope they are well xxx

BD, try not to worry too much. Even if you do go into labor before you're scheduled, this is your first baby? Labor takes like 12-18 hours so it's not like a baby is in distress emergency C-Section. Maybe think of it as a possible 'unscheduled' csection rather than an emergency one?

My friend went into labor with her first a week before her scheduled csection. She called the hospital, they told her she was OK to drive herself home which was just a few miles away (she was at the gas station when her water broke), grabbed her bags, her husband took her to the hospital, and she had surgery about 3 hours later. So no ambulance or rush really. Just the evening before she thought she was having him.

 

[girlinyork]

Midwife says I'm gearing up for established labour. I've been having these cramps on and off for a whole day now so fingers crossed established labour comes soon

 

[merristems]

Eeeeeek!! Im sooooo excited giy! Can you have a bath or sit o. Ball to help her along? I ca t remeber if you are going au natural for labour or the works?

 

[BeautifulD]

No this is my 3rd jess and my first two weren't long labours 6 and 5 hours. Second stage of labour always goes super quick.y first I went from 5cm to pushing in 20 mins my second in one contraction from 5 to head crowning
