***December Dreamers*** 70 babies born***

[cho]

Ducky i feel the same i think im having a sweeep wednesday, but i feel like im not sure if i really want it, i am quite happy pregnant but i want him out cos of xmas approaching, Bradley is soo excited about xmas this year that i dont want to have just ahd a baby like a couple of days before and be tired.
I am going to ask wednesday if she will book me in for induction so i have a set date though.
I am wondering how early she will let me be induced, suppose its up to the hospital too, she said she would say i have been having niggly pains for a while
I cant wait to meet little man and i would prefer if it happened completly natural, im worried of having a long labour again too and i think mine being so long was partly to do with him not being ready and being sweeped and i stupidly took castor oil so that didnt help either!
Kerrie i dont think its fair about your mw, but mines the same she is only at clinic on a wednesday so it will be another week again till i see her after!
Does anyone panic that bubs doesnt have enough room, he barely moves any more i have to poke him for ages to get him to move(except today he has been a little more active) It worries me that he is too big and doesnt have space especially as i am measuring big on graphs and the mw said he is very tight to my skin, and also they dont see you weekly at the end with your 2nd so its not like you feel confident that he has space.
Maybe i am just panicking, Bradley was fine and he was a week late, its only cos he barely moves
I have had a big clean today on hands and knees scrubbing floors hence not chatting much, i now have a lot of pressure in my pelvis all of a suddden.
I checked my cervix earlier felt diff to normal almost felt a bit speckly if that makes sense lol, i can fit a finger in quite easily but i get too scared to try and move around anymore

I've just realised that I think I've only felt bubs move 3 times today.........

seems your the same lol, i think sometimes we get use to feeling the movements that we dont take notice as much, cos that usually happens to me i think omg he hasnt moved all day and as i say it he moves

 

[Kerrieann]

I agree with charlotte, when i think about i dont think ive felt him move at all today but as i think it he moved! I defo just dont take as much notice but his movements have really slowed down now and i get roughly 10 i think.

I know how you feel charlotte... if it wasn't for xmas I wouldn't be getting desperate to get him out. I think they don't usually induce you unless they HAVE to until 10 days past your DD. Which for us would be 20th. My fear is that I go in on the 20th/21st kind of time, they try to induce me and after a day or two end up sending me for a section anyway and I end up in hospital over xmas anyway. Obv if for whatever reason baby needed to be in hospital over xmas or whatever then that's a completely different story but I just want to be home and settled.

I think a lot of us are just getting anxious and a bit fed up now for whatever reason and it being xmas time is just making it worse.

Mizze that link worked gorgeous pram I love it!

Charlotte no Ava bruises me from her constant movements she never stops moving!

Lozzy ah yeah I remember you saying Niamh got stuck etc now great news you don't have to have a section next time!

Ducky I've not had heartburn all the way through and now seem to have it and indigestion all the time! She's always ramming her butt in my tummy though so think that's why!

Well my pains have stopped again ugh!

 

[Nessicle]

Defo Xmas making me more anxious to have her out for sure!

I worry she's not big enough cos of how much she moves...

 

[cho]

see they said they can leave me till 14 days over making it the 24th!!!!!
But my mw said she would get me in earlier, but she also said she would sweep me earlier than 40 weeks and didnt!
So i just want to get a date out of her

 

[ducky1502]

We're all anxious, worried, stressed mummas

 

[cho]

Ness i was like that thoug, but seems to have slowed down last few days.
I am really not sure but im hoping bubs has turned i know i keep going on but i have a big fear of forceps for some reason and another long labour that i want him to be the right way round.
Kerrie how far can you go over to have a water birth in birthing centre just so i know

 

[ducky1502]

Yup charlotte I'm the same... when I go for my appt on friday I'm going to ask her about being induced. I see different people all the time but have been told that they wouldn't book me in for an induction on the 24th because they don't like to make extra work for themselves over xmas.... which is fine with me! But midwives don't always stick to their word. My friend was promised an induction at 10 days overdue all the way through due to x y and z and then when it came down to booking her in they were full until she was 15 days overdue!!

 

[Kerrieann]

Im going to get my iduction date tomoro, think it will be 1 week today. Please baby comeon ur own One of my worst fears is induction

me too, bet you have had more than enough kerrie

 

[Kerrieann]

Think its 12 days charlotte and if i have to be induced then im not allowed there i will have to go into hospital im scared of forceps too, ive put in my birth plan i dont want them used, i would rather tear and have ventouse x

 

[ducky1502]

I haven't even written a birth plan... oops!

 

[Nessicle]

Really Charlotte? Hope Avas movements calm down cos they're really painful!

I'm terrified of forceps too id rather have ventouse. My midwife said they'd let me go 14 days over before inducing me I'm dreading that happening I feel so anxious and panicky at the thought of going over!

 

[lozzy21]

Kerri have they said if your starting to dliate?

 

[Nessicle]

Come on babies stop being naughty!!! Your mummies have had enough! I'm really jealous of those who had their babies around 37/38 weeks why not us?!!!!!

Im sure that because of when your due it will be more like 10-12 days, they wont usualy induce you on new years eve because they have skellaton covers with the doctors ect.

 

[cho]

ooh see im scared of ventous too lol, any intervention.
Dont even get me started on a c-section!
I think i would be fine with a section if it was booked in as you would expect but hate the thought of an emergency

 

[Nessicle]

Yeah I suppose Lozzy fx it won't come to that I'm having a sweep at 40 & 3 if she's not here by then if I need one I pray it works!
