Welcome ladies!! Missy, I hope we have a uneventful 9 weeks. I'm sorry you have had a tough road to get here. My next appointment is April 3rd and I'm so excited to see this little lady again. Hope everyone had a great day!
 
What time is it where you ladies are? I'm in south Australia and it's 11.20am Thursday morning here.

I've just got back from a doctors appointment (and just remembered I forgot to tell her something) I think I mentioned I've been having period like cramps and BH for the past 3 days. Well apparently it's all because of my excess fluid, my uterus is stretched to a 36/37 week pregnancy. She's told me I need to stop lifting my 12.5kg toddler, they've told me this since they've know about my pelvis but it's easy for them to say huh. She even told me not to lift my toddlers backpack, any extra weight now can make my membrane rupture.
She's just my normal gp so will talk to my obstetrician on Tuesday.

Feeling very tired, achy and deflated today. Hope you girls are well xx
 
As of right now, its 8.13pm wednesday night.

Wow, I have a toddler and I cant imagine not picking her up. Do you have help??

Maybe your ob will give you better news. Maybe if your cervix is still closed and firm its not as big of a deal cause the fluid cant come out?? I dont know though. It was just a thought. I dont want to sound dense lol
 
When I go in friday for my next appt, I will come back knowing if I am dilating and if baby is engaged or not. I also plan on asking if I will be sent for a growth scan. I was sent last time due to SUA (single umbilical artery) and they wanted to make sure she was still growing. I dont have that this time which is good, But I still see a high risk ob due to all the contractions and what not.

Also, do you ladies know when they test for group b strep?? I dont remember with my first because I was tested so many times, But I know I was tested before 28 weeks because I was swabbed at my first doctor before I went into preterm and that happened at 28+5 last time. She hasnt mentioned it yet, but ill ask I guess friday lol
 
No we don't have help, we are originally from the uk, moved to Aus 3.5 years ago so all our family is in the UK. She was in day care one day out pulled her out last week.

Can your waters break anytime? Even with your cervix not dilating? Or can your cervix do site quickly then your waters break? I've not a clue, I was induced with my daughter.

Usually they don't check your cervix here unless you go to birthing and assessment with complications or to be assessed.

Good luck at yours. Are you hoping for a growth scan? I can't wait to see our little miss again at 34+5 :) I'm not sure when they test for strep b, I can't remember from my daughter, would it be 34/36 weeks?
I'm praying I get answers at my appointment on Tuesday whether I'll be having natural or c-section and when I'll be take in. I'm hoping they take me in at 38 weeks.

Do you have a lot of contractions? I've had my third day of Bh coming and going, they get quite painful too.

My doc told me I would be tested for Group B at my 34 week appointment. I hope i am not positive, although I know it can change from then to birth. Last time I had the test, but didnt find out that I was positive until after my son was born :( Just one of the many things that makes me wonder what cause his death. The unknown kills me because I cant take proper measures to ensure whatever caused it, doesnt again this time.
 
I have them pretty much all day and night, probably 10-20 in an hour. My first doctor was the definition of stupidity. Seriously. Them not knowing what they were doing actually made my preterm episode much much worse.

We just saw our little girl last weekend, so Im not necessarily hoping for a growth scan, I was just curious if it will happen again this time. Of course its always nice to see the little ones :) With my first at 34 weeks she was estimated to weigh 6.2lbs.... But it was wrong because she only weighed 7 lbs 8oz at birth almost 7 weeks later. Im more curious about the size of this ones head lol my first had a good sized noggin on her.... They even told me that at a NST when they checked fluid levels that her head was big and they were right lol I didnt tear much with her, but my birth was so fast that I was sore for months. Im just hoping to be a little less sore or maybe not tear at all this time. At our 20 week scan her head was measuing spot on so I have hopes it will be smaller than her sisters... I say this because at 20 weeks our first was measuring almost 3 weeks over in everything.

My doctor this time and the remainder of last time is really chill. she tells me how it is but in a good way.

They have no idea what happened to him? Its so sad :( I refuse to have a baby at my local hospital because I personally have 2 friends that delivered full term babies that had healthy pregnancies and they both went home without babies. That for me is just too much. One is too much, but 2 is more than just a coincidence.

I had a home birth
 
I dont want to ask too many questions because I cant even imagine how painful it is. I am really sorry. :(
 
SO I had my appt today, My cervix is a little open at the begining but still long. She told me full term is 37 weeks too. She also said If I go into labor at 36 weeks its fine too. I asked her about being induced and she said typically she can induce at 39 weeks, but we can fudge it a little bit. So more than likely Ill be induced at 38+4 which is May 15th :) a whopping 48 days away!! Its exciting but Also means its only about 6 weeks away lol I plan on starting my EPO at 36 weeks which will give it two weeks to hopefully do something. Ive already been taking my RLT as well.
 
:hi:

I'm due may 28th but my calculation say the 26th. I'll stick with 28th though :) I'm having a GIRL this time!! Good as this is the LAST!! I have a 16 month old boy and a 31 month old boy (hehe we usually just say two year old I had to just count how many months he is)

I'm having a ridiculous amount of BH. Also the pressure this time is insane! I didn't feel any of this till almost birth with my boys.

I've only gained 21? Pounds so far.. Gained 40 each pregnancy before so that's good but I'm not holding onto any hope it will stay in the 20s. With my first I got fat all over with my second it was all belly this time it's fat all over again :dohh:

Congrats!! Little girls are so much fun! Ive had "bowling ball crotch" since about 16 weeks this time. Ugh, its not a fun feeling at all lol

I gained 28 total with my first girl, I was all belly just like this time, but so far Ive gained 20 lbs. I thought for sure i had gained a lot this past two weeks, but I was suprised to know i only gained .6lbs. Im sure in two weeks she will have a vengence on me and Ill pack on some more weight lol

Do you have any names picked out? We chosen Emmaleine (Emma) Janice Green :)
 
Thats sweet :) Our first daughters name is Abigail Elizabeth
