Goodness! There could potentially be two birth stories coming up soon. I feel so far away from that point right now.

Nah it's probably nothing in my case wish he was coming now. I want him to come early as my
Consultant agreed to maybe let me try if I went in before my planned date and I really don't want a c-section.

 

[OmiOmen]

Well, you are at the full term point now so you can start looking forward to it rather than having to worry. Keep us updated.

 

[passion4shoes]

I am not feeling ready either omi. What is your actual due date?

Rotate to dilate zf! Circles on your birth ball.

 

[OmiOmen]

30th of May! But since I can go a week over it could be as late as the 6th of June for me.

 

[babyface15]

thanks for the update pebbie, let us know how your check goes!

we are routinely tested for gbs, I have my test today. I heard they swab you in the bum lol hoping not to have it since it'll mean iv antibiotics.


no hospital bag here either, though I have a list and a pile! so it shouldn't be too hard to finish it in a snap.

gl zfbaby, can't wait to hear an update from you too

does anyone else not have a name picked out? we don't even have our short list yet. I bet this baby will be nameless for the first few days lol

 

[OmiOmen]

It was a vaginal swab for me although I guess it wasn't a routine test for it so maybe that is why.

We have our name picked but we did change it a while back so most people still think it was the name we originally had picked. I am not sure everyone will like it so would rather wait until people have a face to put the name to.

Just got back from midwife check and I am now measuring 41cm!! thats 4 cm in 1 week
I knew I had grown because of doing it around my belly but didn't expect that, I am a little nervous as to what is going to happen, waiting for my midwife to call me and let me no about what time i have to go for growth scan, she said it should be today as it's classed as emergency cus so far over my dates. depending on the size at the scan she said I could be looking at early induction or c section. Oh an baby is partly engaged n ow aswell and I think I have had my first few braxton hicks the last 2 days

 

[OmiOmen]

Wow that is quick! I guess since at 36 weeks their lungs are fully formed and at 37 weeks it is full term then you might be heading for the first birth story. I hope it goes well.

 

[passion4shoes]

Wow! It is really kicking off for you lot!

Is that your fundal measurement char? 41?

 

[babyface15]

I hope everything goes well too hun. I believe I remember my Dr telling me fundal height measurements can be off if your bladder is full or for other reasons. can't wait for an update from you too!! gl!!

 

[charbaby]

Yeah passion fundal height, so 5 weeks ahead.
Babyface my bladder was empty cus I just done a wee test for them before she measured me.
still waiting on fone call, She is having trouble getting through the scanning department, hope the scan is today as I am so nervous about it all now!

 

[babyface15]

oh I see! I hope you get in today hun! Try not to stress too much the doctors will take good care of you and lo and before you know it she'll be in your arms

 

[charbaby]

So the bloody midwife couldn't get through to them and now they are closed for the night! She said I will here first thing in the morning but really annoyed now as she said it would be today.

 

[Zfbaby]

Well I've had the odd sensation of leaking but the pad is by no means soaked so I'm thinking baby's head is jigging on my bladder, nice. I have been feeling pressure and a bit achy down there though so I'll continue to take it easy and see what happens.
How's things with you char any word on scan!?- oh sorry char didn't see your post

 

[charbaby]

zfbaby they can do a swab at the hospital to find out if its your waters x

 

[CLH_X3]

Good luck char for tomorrow! Pain in the ass she couldn't get through today, will u still attempt a natrual birth if the baby is 'big' ?

Zbaby- hope its just wee and not ur waters!

 

[charbaby]

I don't no really cus I struggled enough with my 1st and he was only 7lb don't think I would be able to do it with much bigger lol! By the way things are sounding she is huge already

 

[Zfbaby]

Try not to worry about her size until the scan though as I've found the midwives can be really off with measurements. Some measure me 4 weeks ahead some 3 and some bang on.

 

[Zfbaby]

Good luck today char, please update us after your scan. X

 

[charbaby]

Thank you.
I hope the midwife calls me this morning! Had a rubbish sleeping worrying about it all.
I will update as soon as I know anything x
