Due In May :)

[Jary]

I'm not fed up of that yet but I'm fed up of not showing any signs of labour! I know I still have a maximum of a month yet tho

Went to see iron man 3 yesterday and hope the loud noises would set my labour off. Long shot, but a friend of mine went to see a movie and went into labour shortly afterwards. Was probs coincidence tho lol.

Also trying to be good and not go overboard with sweet things. Isn't going well lol.

As I'm typing this I think I'm having a BH and looks like baby has back right in the middle of my bump instead of on side and its sticking right out lol. Odd shape!

How is Noah doing Miss mummy moo??

 

[Jary]

Good luck Powell!!

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Good luck Powell!

Jary I remember going for a bikini wax to try and bring Thomas. That didn't work either

Noahs doing well, he was supposed to be weighed by the HV today but she hasn't turned up! got the MW out tomorrow so I'm hoping she will weigh him instead. I think he will have put on as he's doing much better with his feeds. He's still such a content little baby x

 

[Hann12]

He sounds like he's doing so well missmummymoo!

Powell - good luck with the growth scan!

I'm sick - my DD has given me a horrid cold and she's not sleeping so nor are we. Feel like rubbish plus getting loads of cramps and low down pains like the baby is pushing against my pelvis. Got the dr in the morning though they are rubbish and I expect very little from the appointment, last time she didn't even tell me that the baby was head down, I had to read it in the notes when I got back! Seeing my Nct group tomorrow too though which will be nice. Will take my mind off all the uncomfortableness anyway and hopefully I'll be feeling better tomorrow too!

GL Powell!
Terrible night here too. Tons of pain in my lower back and tush. It's like LO s trying to tear me a new one. Gross! I hope this is a good sign, but who knows anymore?

 

[Hann12]

Sass - I keep getting pain against my bowels too, can only assume its normal but its really painful!!

 

[Sass827]

I'm scared it will bring on hemmeroids so I'm popping suppositories morning and night. My neighbor got them so bad after her c she had to go for surgery a week post partum. Hoping to avoid that.
Sorry you're not feeling well Hann. I hope you an catch a nap today!

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Hann sorry your all ill at the moment hopefully it will be gone before labour starts x

 

[Hann12]

I had one post birth last time but it eventually went on its own. It was super painful though! Lets hope we don't get them!

 

[Jary]

keeping my fingers crossed that these are good signs for you girlies!

my pelvis has been pretty good today, yesterday going out and about was a real struggle...just felt so achey. Since my pain is under control i may try sleeping in bed tonight. I hate sleeping on the sofa because i miss my OH!

LO is having a good squirm....so i keep hoping he or she will squirm downwards and get this party started!

On the Really channel i watched Maternity Ward as usual but they have now started putting on Desperate Midwives...i remember watching that years ago and it making me want to be a midwife lol.

Good luck Powell! I have my last growth scan on Wednesday. Baby girl was estimated to weigh 5 lbs 12 oz so hopefully she put on a little weight especially since I haven't really been obeying my bedrest laws. So funny how usually everyone is fretting about their baby's EFW and how we all remind each other that it's +/-2 pounds... most everyone wants their baby to come out on the -2 side and I want mine on the +2(ish) side!!! Maybe not the whole 2 pounds. An 8 pound baby sounds huge to me as DS was only 5-15 and DD was 6-9.

Glad to know I'm not the only who feels like I will be eternally pregnant. I have no signs, no show, no anything!!! I'm 1 cm and 50% effaced, but we all know that doesn't really mean anything. I've finally been having some BH contractions and some major head butts to my cervix!!! Hello lightning crotch! Lol. I need my LO to stay in until at least Wednesday so my hospital can get it agreement with my insurance company squared away. Come Wednesday, I will be using every induction technique in the book!

 

[Jary]

Cgav I'm hoping when I see mw tomorrow she'll tell me baby is further engaged.

I seem to be getting BH whenever I stand up! At least I seem to be getting more of them so hoping the practice is not far from the real thing!

 

[Hann12]

Cgav I'm with you - my DD was 5.15 and 4 days late so if this one is 7.5-8 pounds like the mw predicted then that seems huge to me!!

 

[pinktiara]

my son was 8 3 so was hubby and his brother haha all super tall and skinny now including my son who got my ridiculous long legs poor boy lol. I have no clue how big this baby will be dr thinks he could be pretty big like 9 lbs but shes judging that by his butt sticking out so i'm not thinking too much about that. I have only gained 17 lbs and kept my GD under control so guess well see next week. hubby's side of the family seems to have big babys so im sure hell be tall like our other son I always joked that i got a toddler not a newborn lol

 

[Jary]

I suppose only time will tell just how big our babies will be! I'm not expecting to have a big baby but you never know

And just to say I have such a wriggly baby tonight! My gosh its all over the place! Lol

Must like Game of Thrones like Mummy and Daddy lol

 

[Sass827]

All of my scans were on the big side but when my doc measures me from the outside, I'm only about 6 lbs. very interested to see what actually comes out!
Game of thrones is the best! I thought last nights episode was awesome with a killer ending but DH didn't appreciate it! He only likes it when boat loads of people die. Is like, duh - it's not that kind of show. It has a real plot! Tell me what you think tomorrow Jary.

 

[Powell130]

Baby is measuring average again - 6lb13oz (last estimate was 5lb on April 1st) slightly on the short side, but what can you expect when I'm only 5 ft and hubs is like 5ft6in lol
They did blood work because I'm apparently at a higher risk of developing pre-e so they gave me papers on that and told me to keep an eye out for the symptoms. Also going to have NST 2x a week now instead of 1 and doc said that if they see anything they don't like baby will have an early birthday so to bring my bags with me to every appointment! Gonna pack PJ's clothes in his bag tonight (was waiting on last growth scan to decide what size clothes to pack - gonna go with some NB & 0-3 month) since I have my regular MW appointment tomorrow.
Eeekkk!! Kinda freakin' out!

 

[mathgenius33]

Sounds like good news Powell. I also had a scan recently, on Friday. They're estimating 6 pounds 9 oz right now and that she should be born 7-7.5. She might be short (I think I told you guys that at one point). I'm pretty short at 5'3", but as a kid I was very small until 10th grade. In 9th grade I was 4'8" and then 5'2" by 10th. I had my first period at 14, so go figure. DH is tall at 6'1", but he was also a late bloomer, so I should hope our baby will start off a little short too. They do say she's chunky though, so that should be adorable.

The pictures this time around came out great. I personally see a lot of resemblance between her and DH, especially the lips and chubby cheeks. Then she has an exact replica of my nose. It should be interesting to see what she really will look like, but we're so excited. We already have talked to her about all the changes that will be happening in a few days or weeks when she's with us.

I'm with you guys in that I have no symptoms of labor yet. It makes me feel like the pregnancy will never end, but I guess everyone says it will.

 

[pinktiara]

I packed Mason like one newborn thing the rest 0-3 and a few 3 month my son never stood a chance in newborn clothes they were so small so im assuming the same with this one lol. Im 5"9 and my hubby is like 5"8 so i expect another giraffe this time around haha im so anxious to see what he looks like our 3d scan wasnt very clear so didnt give me the best idea like we had with Carter.

 

[Powell130]

Some good some bad. They seem pretty sure I'll develop pre-e :/ I have 3 outta 6 of the risk factors plus still have the notching on my left side so baby isn't getting all the blood and stuff from me as he should :/
