Beach Bumps - July Rainbows

[mackjess]

I'm also having a bit of problems with the runs today. =( hope that means something is happening. it hurts a lot to get up and down and to walk, so it's not been a fun day. heading to an appt in about an hour so let's hope he's dropped out is engaged or something!!

fj I hope that sweep gets things going! and merri, get some sleep for me.

FJ--Have not head about a sweep over here in the state but know what one is from reading about it on here. I am sure they do one but my dr or friends never talked about it. But the only thing I can tell you about what the MW put in the notes (just from reading things on here and internet) is the cervix is still far back and has not moved up front yet, your thined to 2cm (which is still kinda long), from what I can tell with this is the os was soft enough to put a finger in to preform the sweep so maybe it means that your 1cm dilated but I doubt that is what it means, the head is down and waters still intact. I did have to look up the posterior cervix part.

Ahh dolly and jess sorry to hear you are both suffering, rest up and take it easy. Maybe its the start jess I've read that upset stomach and pressure can be a sign of pre labour, you never know!

I hope the sweep gets things moving for you FJ! I have a sweep booked tues if still no baby it will be interesting to see what she says and I just hope it kick starts labour I'm scared ill have to be induced..I may up the epo as only taking 2000mg orally at moment.

 

[LVnMommy]

Monro if your os is open enough to do a sweep you have to be at least 1 cm at least that's what my last midwife told me. UPDATE MADDIX IS 7LBS 9 OUNCES!!!!! big boy coming along. He has to get a upper gi series done, to make sure he only has GERD. And nothing more serious

JFG-are you sticking to epo just orally or up there too?

 

[A1983]

I'm apprehensive about labour now too.. I wasn't to begin with but someone posted something on third tri about pelvic prolapse and another commented on it saying her friends bladder came out during labour!! It freaked me out!!!!!! Trying not to think about lol

A
!!!!!! :-/ ohhh my-I am definitely freaked out and scared about labour-I keep envisaging baby's head 'there' crowning and it's like a nightmare I'm not going to wake up from! I said to oh it's like knowing im going to HAVE to endure something so incredibly painful and there's nothing I can do about it....BUT.WAIT.! Probably slightly ott-but that's how I feel! I see my vaginal canal and entrance as a narrow passage-NOT to pass a human through!

Dolly - hope the spd cools it a bit! Must be so unpleasant especially in this heat!

MJ - how'd the app go? Hope things are moving for you.

Monro - thanks for the info! I think I just need to accept that nothing is happening and there's nothing I can do to make it happen!

Lvn - wow Maddox is really coming on!

So today I have had a double bag of RLT, a 1000mg EPO, nipple simulation, ball bouncing and grinding, walking up and down stairs and... Nada!

It's too hot to go out for a proper walk so may have to wait until the evening.

Come on baby!

Fj I'm sending you lots and lots of labour dust! Lets hope that all that hard work you're putting in starts something off!!
Jfg you too!! Hoping to hear some labour stories in the next few days!
Jess I've got the runs today too! Hope u feel better soon. Aw a1983 I know what u mean! And this spd is making me think about it even more.. I just think If I'm this sore now then how am I gonna cope with labour!? Might be an epidural for me lol.
Afm it's roasting here! I can't sit in it I just feel hot and bothered so am sitting inside like some kind of madwoman whilst everyone else is out enjoying the sunshine!! We having a wee BBQ later though so ill go out for that and hopefully things will have cooled down and be a bearable temp for me! I'm feeling tired and lazy again today- maybe just the heat. Have resigned myself to the fact that bubs ain't going anywhere any time soon and actually it's helping me relax a little thinking about it that way. I was just making myself frustrated analysing every twinge. Just trying to relax now and enjoy my time off xxx

 

[LVnMommy]

Flap jack, do you have a breastpump?? With my second pregnancy I pumped for 30 mins and labor began!!

 

[flapjack10]

Poor girls with your runny bottoms!

Lvn - I do have a breast pump, used it for a minute today and then chickened out! Maybe I'll try it more tomorrow!

JFG-are you sticking to epo just orally or up there too?

Just been taking them orally as i was too nervous to put them up there in case of infection etc and when i asked my mw she had never heard of using them in pregnancy so couldn't advise, but i think i may just bite the bullet and try one tonight..desperate times and all that hehe.

 

[flapjack10]
