Awe merri thank you!! I have been popping in and out of here just not to much going on on my end which is a good thing for me. I have another dr appt Mon. At my last appt 2 Wednesday's ago he told me that if we can make it to 34 wks then we can basiclly quit worrying about him and I will be off all restrictions (as in no cleaning, walking much, standing, heavy shopping) even though I have still been doing most of them. He told me after 34 wks I Well 34 wks tomorrow. I am stilll hoping I can go to at least 36 wks or longer who knows I might go to 37 wks and get my stitch out and start to dialate w/in hrs or he might like it so much in there he might want to be like mommy and go to 42+ wks. I don't want to be induced but I have heard that after 40 wks the placenta starts to die off so I guess I will have to if that starts happening. For some reason I feel like He is going to come before the stitch is taken out. I got my bags packed had the urge to do it a few days ago and only missing a few small unecessary things for me. However I ordered a boppy (I have been sleeping on the one my SIL gave me and now its flat) nail clippers and a baby book from Amazon that should be here by next Sat probably sooner. Hopefully I won't need it till after then. For the past 3 or 4 days I have just had a different feeling I am peeing a WHOLE lot more (maybe that means he dropped but he was already pretty low and head down since 22 wks). I am still not sure what it means that he is engaged I thought he has been since 22 wks but I might be wrong. I have been having pressure since then, and pains in my cervix b/c of the pressure. He has been having stronger kicks in my ribs and left side. And they have been more painful but not really bad. My abs also feel like I have been doing crunches but probably b/c I do when I get out of bed 5 times a night to pee lol. I have also been having darrieah (sp) a good bit and for the past wk had been going at night or at least when I got up but it quit last night. I had not done that since 1st tri. I just hope the 1st tri nausea does not come back.

How is everyone doing still see we got alot still cooking.

Lvn-how is that sweet baby and u doing?

Hello ladies!!
Hope everyone's doing well! I'm knackered - this lack of sleep is getting to me. Just been and had my hair done though so feeling a bit nicer than I was.. I'm totally in the mood for pampering myself just now!!
Giy hope things pick up for u soon!
Fj I can't stop eating either! I'm such a hungry Horace. Just been to maccy ds and had a caramel frappe it was amazing! Have to say though I'm a bit concerned about how much I'm eating and how little I'm exercising now.. Even walking the dog is a strain on my back (although I'm still doing it of course) and I'm just so tired all the time! I used to be so active!! I'm actually afraid to weigh myself! My big sis says not to worry though.. She says once baby comes any weight will drop off.. And ill be too busy to eat! Haha. Oh that does seen a long time till your next appointment. I'm hoping after I have mine that they'll be a bit more frequent.
Jess hope your headaches ease a bit. I've been waking up every morning with a headache but it always eases after I've been up and hour or so, so think mine is dehydration.
Merri is that true.. 3 x a day!!? I'll be lucky to manage once a week just now! Haha. I'm pretty sore and swollen down there (tmi I know). Can't wait to be back to normal again.
Hope everyone else is doing well!! And lvn hope your wee man is doing well too!
Xxx

 

[Dollybird]

Ooh nearly forgot! Monro glad your stitch has held well. And Yey for 34 weeks! So pleased for u, you must feel very relieved.
Well you know how I thought bubs had turned? Think it was wishful thinking.. Can feel his head again right under my rib.. And have had some pretty painful kicks in the bladder. But there's stil time I guess.. So back on the birthing ball for me!! Xxx

 

[BeautifulD]

FJ sorry baby is brim, I bet its a they seem to be more awkward lol.

Merri - those 8 weeks will fly by

Monroe - good to see you and lo are hanging on in there. I get the pains in the old cervix! No ideawhy as baby is breech with his toes up by his ears! Lol.

Afm... I'm feeling very crampy today. Not on and off more constant down low, not sure what its about but little dude isn't all that active today either

 

[BeautifulD]

Sorry to hear that dolly, I got the batterys to blow up my ball and got it all blown only to realise ive lost the stopper

 

[mackjess]

Monro, yay for your stitch holding in there. I've read that making new amniotic fluid tapers off at 32 weeks, then it starts to lower a bit before birth so you may have to pee more before labor. Maybe that means you're getting close! I've heard the same about the placenta, that it works great until 40 weeks then starts to die off. I'm happy to be scheduled at 41 weeks, I just hope he shows up on his own before then!

merri/dolly, TY. My headaches have started in the afternoon, not long after I've had the tea which is why I'm wondering if that's the culprit. I certainly hope not, but I thought I'd skip it for a few days and see if it stops. It's still lingering a bit this morning but not near as bad as it was last night. I even tried taking Tylenol last night as it hurt so bad, but I don't know why. It never provides any relief for me. It's only in my forehead, which makes me think it is a dehydration type headache vs hormones as that is where it would hurt if I had a few glasses of wine or something. I drink so much water, with an occasional juice or gatorade, that I feel waterlogged. Not sure how I could drink any more. And I get up and pee so much during the night if I don't drink, I just get up and have a glass of water each time anyway. So what if that means 7 trips vs 5 trips, at that point you're not sleeping great anyway!

FJ, glad to hear bubs is head down and brimming. It sounds like he is at least plotting his escape. Not sure if my guy has figured that out yet or not. The movement is higher than it used to be, but it doesn't feel like kicks. Of course they said my placenta is at the top of the uterus, so maybe it is kicks but they are cushioned? 1 more week til I find out if he's flipped.

My birth ball is blown up, I still haven't sat on it! I'd bring it up now since I'm working from home but I'm afraid I'll tip over. Probably have DH bring it up later and try it when I have some supervision.

 

[A1983]

Apparently as you get closer diahorrea is common and plus with baby dropping it pushes on bladder more...also baby knows when labour is imminent and so stores glycogen (or packs a picnic for the journey as my antenatal teacher says!) and rests a lot in the 24 hours before labour

 

[ladykara]

Hey guys, see everyone is feeling the stress at the mo, hugs to you all x

Well things look like its happening this end, thurs woke up to cramps and a BH which lasted for ages and hospital told me to come straight in, 3cm dilated and mild contractions, sent me to birthing centre but contractions died down and told me to go home and then nothing.

Fast forward to this morning, woke up feeling great, I DTD last night and thought it was general discharge, but it was watery, it then started gushing out and PH paper confirmed it was my waters, no pain so washed my hair had breakfast and called grant to come home ( he just got to work) got to hospital contractions every 10 mins very mild, told to go home and wait for them to get worse. Have to go back tomorrow to be monitored and if nothing gets getting by Monday ill have to be put on a drip.... So need things to get going within 48 hours

The fact both my two last labours where quick as soon as waters went this time looks very different. Could be a long time but right now pain isn't that bad, could even sleep I reckon.

For those who want to know what I have been doing which could have possibly helped things happen, I took two primrose oils pills on wed night, started gym ball bouncing wed too, then all of the above last night but had a walk and added in some sexy time.

Xx

Hi A1983, MJ, Dolly, hope you guys have had a good weekendxx

I went to see man of steel last night in 3d it made me feel sick and baby went absolutely nuts wriggling all the way through i think it was the loud music or excess galic for dinner! Skippy has been really quiet today i think heshe exhausted themself out, im bloody shattered at the mo too

 

[A1983]

I'm shattered all the time too Merri x

Can I ask-do you think im big for 35 weeks? Im getting a bit worried about having a big baby-im tall and small framed and have eaten loads during pregnancy-not put on any weight, but then I don't think im capable of doing so. OH is big framed and tall too and was a big baby (his mum had a cesarean with him and his sister but thinks this is more due to her small pelvis). People just keep telling me how big im getting and ive still got a while to go-espesh if I go overdue.

[BeautifulD]

I don't think you're too big at all, you have a beautiful bump! If bubs was big you would be measuring ahead so try not to worry

Merri, I'm exhausted too some days its too much, get soooo cranky! Lol xx
