Darling buds of May and June bugs!

Hope the scan goes well this time.

We have had a lovely weekend at centre parks and am now doing LOADS of washing which I can't be arsed with but must get done.

ok here's mine...

Due Date: 28th May
Predicted date: 2nd June (predicting 5 days late as so far they have been 2, 3 and 4 days late in that order).
Length of Labour: 6 hours (last one was 2 hours but will I be that lucky again?)
How labour will start: Waters breaking on school run!
Time of birth: 7am
Baby's weight: 8lb 10oz

Just realised this makes no sense! Waters break on school run - labour 6 hours - time of birth 7am????

Idiot!!!!


Also my waters had always been broken for me, before baby no.3. As they say babies are never predictable! Be prepared for anything!!!

I can't shave my legs............or anywhere else if you know what I mean lol.

Just had to log on to tell you all Midwife has just returned my call, unfortunately I was upstairs at the time swigging gaviscon and didn't hear my mobile lol. I'll have to call her back now and tell her i've sorted it already.

Edited to add: Rang her back and first words out of her mouth were "have you got it sorted"? I said yes i'm going to clinic tomorrow, she said "Oh good, that sounds like a good plan". :wacko:
 
Well that's me packed baby bag and put all my toiletries into my bag, starting to feel a bit more organised now. My LO was over a week early so want to be sorted in the next couple of weeks just in case. My waters broke first last time, wonder what will happen this time!

Nicola I know it is so exciting!! It only seems like yesterday we were saying we were down to double digits!! Take gender neutral and pink to the hospital, last time I just brought white with me and all the doctors and midwives after she was born were calling her a boy, I was getting really annoyed with it so I have packed blue this time for no confusion :haha:

Fab news Brandy, I am so glad that you have got everything sorted and your care is so good. Good luck with your scan today.

Megan I was like that last time, it was a nightmare. Have you tried sitting on your sofa with your leg curled up beside you? That is the only way I have found I am able to do it, altho it takes ages and is not very comfortable :dohh: Aw your children will love hearing the heartbeat at your appointment and seeing your bump being measured.

Rose pregnancy dreams can be so strange sometimes!! I haven't had one for a while, bet I will tonight now I have said that!! Wow only took days for your midwife to phone back!! She is utterly useless!! Glad you managed to get it sorted yourself though instead of worrying until she bothered phoning you back today!

Ha ha Debbie I did notice that when you posted it, I was wondering what time you started your school run at :rofl:
 
Had the funniest thought! Imagine I / we did Into labor on the school run. Picture this. 8:30 labour starts for real, drop kids off at school then go to hospital then baby arrives by 1pm back in home intime to collect kids at 3pm. Boy what a shock they would have!!!!!!!!!
 
Ha ha Megan I know someone that did that!! She went into labour at 7, dropped her little girl at school on way to hospital, had baby by 10 and was at the school picking up her little girl at 3.30 with new baby in the car. Nobody believed her that she had had the baby in that time :haha:
 
This is all new and unheard of to me lol, can't believe you can be back so quickly. Quick when I had my others was in for one day and night at least. Would love to be in and out so quickly! Plus these quick labours, only hope i'm lucky enough to get one. Quickest I had was 18 hours and that was with my first, second was 22hrs. I'd be happy with anything up to 12 hrs but obviously quicker the better xxx
 
I know Rose, my ideal scenario would be to go into labour in the morning about 6 and be back home by dinnertime. That would only be possible for me though if I had baby in the local midwife led centre. If I have to go to the big hospital, which is 2 hours drive away their policy is you have to stay in until baby is at least 24 hours old. Depending on what time you have baby it could mean a 2 night stay. Last time since I had LO just after 9pm on a Friday, I wasn't discharged until Sunday at about 2pm :nope:
 
I'd like to wake up at about 8am after a really good nights sleep with bearable but regular contractions. Get to the hospital about 9.30ish, be told I was 8-9cms then have the baby by 11.30. Back to the ward for a bite to eat and back home in time for dinner lol, perfect :happydance: xxx
 
Ooh sounds perfect to me, although I would prefer not to have to go to the ward and instead leave in time for lunch out somewhere nice with a couple of glasses of bubbly and loads of food to wave goodbye to heartburn!!
 
Oh yes, definitely. My heartburn has been unbearable recently so have those damn braxton hicks. Drinking plenty of water so hopefully that'll be helping with both problems. Managed to tick a couple of things off my list for uni, think I might be able to tick another couple off before the end of the day. Getting there slowly :happydance: xxx
 
Woke up with bare able contraction with Katie around 7:30 on Sunday morning. Went to hospital around lunch. Had her at 6pm
But I had to stay the night boooooooooo. Some of
My friends have been able to leave via the delivery room.

Not a nice question to ask but hey hoo her we go........ Have any of you pooed your self during labour????
U did with all 3 during pushing and it was the one thing constantly on my mind all the way through each labour. The worrying about doing it kind of ruined the labours really :/ one midwife tried to lie and say I hadnt but my first shower told a different story! Urgh
I have been trying to look into any possible way to avoid this. I know it common and goes with the whole thing but I wondered why se women do and some don't and if I could 'prevent' it.

That's excellent you have got loads done Rose, you will feel much better getting it done an out of the way! I'm with you on the heartburn front, it's waking me at least 5 times a night, even water is making it worse!! Can't wait to get rid of it!!

Megan I don't think I did, but I was in theatre with a spinal block so wouldn't have felt if I had anyway. When I reached the hospital and my contractions started getting bad I made myself go and do one, but I am fairly regular anyway so it wa probably just good timing. It's one of my fears too, I would love a water birth but the only thing I'm scared of is pooing during pushing and having it floating about beside me :rofl: I am not sure if there is anything you can do really though to stop it.
 
I don't think I have but i've got a horrible feeling it might happen this time. Lets face it though if it does it does, the medical staff wont think anything of it, i'm just embarrassed about Mark but he said his ex did when she was having his other daughter. xxx
 
I don't think you can prevent it can you, its just what might be there at the time if you know what I mean lol. As for water birth and it floating around, I'm sure i've seen footage where the midwife has whisked it out with her sieve thingy asap.

Yes feeling better for ticking things off, got a bit distracted by Mark coming home from work but hes gone for a lie down now so I'm free to get on with it again (although it looks like i'm now being distracted by this place now lol) xxx
 
:rofl: just imagining the midwife fishing for poo with a net!! I'm the same I'm not bothered about the midwives or doctors seeing it as they have seen it all before, it's hubby I'm worrying about, don't think he even realises loads of women poo during labour :haha:
 
Whilst on the subject of the not so glamorous side of labour was anyone else sick during labour? I started being sick when my contractions started getting painful around 7cm and I was sick all through. I was so thirsty all the time from the gas and air so was drinking jugs of water but was projectile vomiting it back up. I was actually holding the bowl in front of my face it was coming up with such a force :rofl: It was so bad that I didn't need a catheter put in which is normal with a spinal and before you go to theatre so I suppose there was an upside to it!! :haha:
 
I know exactly what you mean Suze lol. Remembering how horrible it was when my youngest got firmly wedged by her large cheek bones last time I don't think I'd care if I did do anything else as long as it got them un-stuck lol. Thats another thing, wonder if i'll need an episiotomy again :( hope not. I'd love a water birth but i've got a horrible feeling I might be heading down the induction route again, especially if she really has started to drop down on the growth chart. Trying to not worry too much or jump to conclusions before seeing them tomorrow. I'd love it if they did a scan tomorrow and said oh she's more than caught up, must have been having a slow couple of weeks growing or something like that. Fingers crossed :) xxx btw Just ticked something else off on list, only two things remaining now lol.
 
Yep I was sick with second daughter but I think it coincided with the transitional phase. Apparently its common at that stage, that was also the time that I said "F**k this, i've had enough i'm going" and tried to get off the bed. (I don't normally swear like that) Midwife said you're not going anywhere till you've had this baby, think I told her to f off too. I remember trying to sit up but couldn't. God only knows what was going through my mind :dohh: I've already discussed all this with Mark and told him my concerns, he just said don't worry. Easier said than done lol xxx
 
Oh I was wondering that too! Are you more or less likely to need an episiotomy if you have had one already. I really hope I don't, I found the recovery with it so much worse than the actual labour and delivery!! I wonder since there is scar tissue there is it more likely to tear? Hmmm not long I suppose until we find out!!

I really hope your appointment goes well tomorrow, is your bump much bigger than your last 2? Hopefully tomorrow they will be able to give you a better idea of what is going on and why is likely to happen if she is measuring small. Oh and woohoo to have more ticked off, you will be finished before you know it xxx
 
Well I've had an episiotomy both times, second one was the worst as she did it on a 45 degree angle without numbing the area first! Thats the one and only time I screamed. First scar didn't tear though so don't know if that is any help to answering your question.

Yes looking forward to getting a few answers tomorrow. Yes my bump is bigger but I think thats more due to being older and having an extremely untoned tummy lol xxx
