Aww girls try not to worry my friend tore and she said tbh she only felt it once the adrenalin had worn off and she'd been stitched up cause she was on such a high from having him she didn't care n as for measuring big she was told he could be anything from 8 - 9lb when born and he was 7.5lb so just try and take it as it comes

My news I got a new job so may have 2 hold on the TTC for a month or two but it is working for the NHS (National Health Service) sorting after care for patients coming home from hospital so i'm so excited about that. Can't believe how quick its gone next weekend would have been my due date and it scares me too think how quick it will go when its my turn haha still can't wait though x x x x x x x

Heyy ladies.
It's been pretty quiet this month..
Anyways how are you two doing? I hope great.
I'm doing pretty good besides the fact that I'm uncomfortable all day now lol sucky part definitely. On the upside!! I'm almost 36 weeks!! And I get one more diagnostic ultrasound which I'm pretty psyched for.
Only one more week until I'm considered full term

 

[Abii]

Sooo I just got some very exciting news!!!
I had my diagnostic ultrasound today and they said that Zoai is measuring 38 weeks not 35, she weighs 7 pounds 15 ounces and my new due date is June 29th.
At first I was pretty shocked haha I got nervous after hearing that, but now Im actually excited, knowing I dont have much longer to go:]
Will let you guys know when i got into labor

 

[lolalei3]

Wow Abbi!! That is definitely surprising I didn't think that could happen so late, had you had a diagnostic before? Why didn't they pick it up then? Wow so Only 10 days to go! What was your origional due date?

Bumblebee how are you?

Sorry been MIA but our Internet had been cut off as we forgot to pay the bill! All is well here except for a slight annoying thing happened, I had asked my dad to get us the cot and was expecting him to buy it new from the store as this is our families first baby so would pass it on to my brother after etc but dad goes and buys one second hand that is 6yrs old and has bite marks in it!! I know I'm probably overeacting and it is the one I wanted which is worth aus$1200 new and it's a lot of money, also haven't seen it yet and it could be ok am just a little annoyed at him as it's not like he can't afford it!

 

[Abii]

I know! I didn't think it could either, but that's what happens when you have dumb doctors. I was suppose to have 2 done and my doctor tried telling me I had already got the 2 but I didn't. The last time I had a diagnostic was at 20 weeks which was my first ultrasound and they said I had my dates right and now I had one today at what I thought was 35 weeks but nope turns out I'm 38 weeks 4 days.
I'm so glad I got it done though! My original due date was July 18th! Such a big gap.

 

[lolalei3]

Wow so close! are you getting Braxton Hicks contractions?

Flossy has found my ribs and now some of her kicks are so strong it hurts sometimes, also pressure on bladder is intense! Ooh and last night i felt her hiccup for the first time! OH felt her too he was in awe and said 'wow I wonder if blokes could handle this stuff happening to them?' hahahaha i said i doubt it!

 

[Bumblebee2408]

Lol oooh not long Abii how exciting for you not long let us know when you feel Zoai coming!!

Lolalei try not to be to disheartened hopefully it will still be lovely just wait until you see it before you get too mad it may be really nice. Fingers crossed for you I can understand why you'd be mad though with it being there 1st Grandchild.

It was my 1st due date last week and I seemed to get through it ok didn't feel as awful as I thought I would I kept myself busy and got through well.

Unfortunately AF turned up a few days ago its really light so did a test just in case but negative so will see how it goes but its coming upto a year trying soon so hopefully will get some help with TTC soon so that will be good.

Soooo excited for you girls let me know how you both get on want the scary details too lol
xxxx

Ohh yes, and they are kinda painful now. I also lost my plug, so I've been trying to do little stuff to try to push the labor process to go faster lol.
Awwh, sorry to hear about little JJ finding your ribs haha, I know how that feels though, its not too fun. It makes it hard for you to breath and then they sit on your bladder at the same time so you have to pee even if you cant breath lol, ohh the joys of pregnancy
Dont worry, she will soon get in the head down position and you wont feel her up there anymore, keep it up mama

Yes, I know!! I cant wait
It seems like shes been baking forever haha.
And of course I will:]
Im glad to hear that you got through the day!! thats great
Im sorry to hear about af Have you spoke to any doctors? I mean they should help you anyway because of the fact you have had 2 m/c's? They really make you wait a whole year before getting help..

 

[lolalei3]

Bumblebee when can you see a fertility specialist? surely they can't make you wait a year from now??

Abbi can't wait to see a pic of little Zoai! so exciting! i bet your OH was in shock when he found out how close she is to coming! Still can't believe doctors can get it so wrong with all the technology they have! Tmi i bet but what did the mucus plug look like?

Spoke to my dad about how i felt about the 2nd hand cot and he agrees and will buy it new! yay so happy! Ok so a little weird but I have a friend who does body art and tomorrow JJ and I are being painted! She is going to paint two other girls to be in the shot too and the theme is Dragon Ladies so I will be the preggo one in the middle with a baby dragon painted on my belly!

Oh we both were, I was like "Im what?!" to the tech who was doing the ultrasound lol. He got excited pretty fast, and I was really nervous at first but got more excited the more i thought about it.
And i know! I cant believe it either, I mean I've had two 3D ultrasounds but they weren't growth scans so I never knew how much she weighed until I got this one done.
Well my plug didnt come out all at once but I knew it was my plug because I had ALOT of white/cloudy discharge with some chunks, then there was one time I checked the toilet and it was like a long stringy cloudy sticky discharge. I didn't have any blood or pink in my discharge.
Lol awwhh that dragon painting sounds like fun. You should take pictures:]

 

[lolalei3]

just your average saturday night! hehe

 

[Abii]

just your average saturday night! hehe

Lol!!! oh my gosh, that is so cute!

 

[lolalei3]

Check out the finished photo shoot on my profile, it turned out really well! My friend is into body art so begged me to let her paint a baby dragon on my belly then it just turned into a big production which is quite cool as i now have professional pregnant pictures done for free!

Abbi any signs of labour?

Bumblebee have you started your new job yet? what will you be doing? Really hope your bosses at this place are a little more compassionate!

 

[Abii]

Not really any signs of labor.
Yesterday I thought my water broke and so I went to get checked, thankfully it did not break, I am really trying not to get a c-section so it made me happy to hear it didn't break.
I am 1cm dilated now, and have been doing stuff to induce, like walking, sex, tea, etc..I've had some contractions today but not labor so hopefully im a-little more dilated, I will find out on Wednesday if I am more then 1cm:]
How are you and little JJ?

 

[Bumblebee2408]

Ooooh fingers crossed its all going to get going soon Abbi n no I start at the beginning of next month on the upside my partner cheered me up the other nite he asked me to marry him!! I am now engaged! Yay n wow pic was great Lola x x x

 

[Abii]

Awhh congrats!!!!:]

 

[lolalei3]

Awesome hon big congratulations!!

Abbi did you have another appointment? are you dilating?

I have my 32wk app with the obstetritian tomorrow, can't wait to see what position JJ is in, pretty sure its head down but not engaged will be cool to be right! Hoping they give me an ultrasound so I can see her! will let u guys know how it goes

 

[Bumblebee2408]

Thank u both. Dno what's happening with my body lately this month it lasted the usual 4 days barely anything there did a digi test negative so waiting to see what happens this month.

Fingers crossed all goes well Lola n oooh really close to your due date Abbi its so exciting x x x

 

[Abii]

GREAT NEWS LADIES!!!!
Last night I went to the hospital because I was having contractions, I found out I was 2 n 1/2cm dilated and 70% effaced!! My contractions weren't regular though so they sent me home, but the great news is that we should be having Zoai either today/tonight or tomorrow! on her due date
Im going to do alot of walking today, and im going to try to eat pineapple again to see if it helps and of course dh and I will dtd tonight. Lets hope something happens!!!:]
I do also have an OBGYN appt today in about 1 hr so I will find out if i dilated anymore sense this morning.
Bumblebee: Sorry to hear about the neg test, Maybe you should get a blood test just to be sure?
Lolaie: Good luck at your appt tomorrow:]
It would be great if little JJ was head down, maybe you will deliver a-little earlier? like 38 weeks or something
Once you hit 36 you should try to do stuff to naturally induce like I did, I think it helped dilate me alot cause i barley started doing stuff to induce and im already at 2 n 1/2cm

 

[lolalei3]

Oooooh Abbi so exciting!! really hope she comes soon and fingers crossed for a short and easy labour! Keep us posted! I am already doing those things, yoga, aquaerobics, dtd, and when i can't sleep i roll around on my birthing ball hope she comes at 38 really don't want to wait much longer!!

Bumblebee what did you use this month in terms of preseed, opks etc? It could just be too early to test?

32wk appointment went really well and JJ is head down I knew it from all the pressure on my bladder and her kicking my ribs! Had an ultrasound and could see her making fists, yawning, poking her tounge out and even blinking!! It wasn't 3D so couldn't see features but was amazing to see her so big and developed! Also was measuring right for this week so she's the perfect size!
