End of May 2013 babies CONTINUED..

congratulations purple!! How exciting!! I'm so excited to think who will be the first birth story.

I don't think my baby has dropped my bump looks kinda high to me, what do you guys think?

Mine looks more hangy than yours like its slipping off and it starts really low down. Not an expert but I'd say you were still quite high.

The bottom part of mine in overhanging and I feel like his head is going to pop out at any moment.

I think there will be a few birth stories in the next two weeks. I am sure I will be last or close behind.
 
Urgh my day just keeps getting better. I just said to dh that it seems the most effective way to induce labour is sex and his answer?! Well we've got nothing better to do tomorrow!!!!!!! :(
 
Zfbaby hahahahah that's men for you hahahah. Yes, triage is the labour ward. They call it triage here.

So I just got back from the hospital. Baby is growing fine and still spot on with growing (around the 50th percentile). Bp however is still borderline so I need to go to antenatal daycare on Thursday for another blood pressure profile and then back to the clinic next week Tuesday where I'm going to have a sweep. I hope it'll work!! Anyone had one before and do they hurt? If the sweep doesn't work I'm going to be induced.
I'm excited stuff is going to start next week!! :)
 
It depends on what my blood pressure profile is going to show Thursday.
 
I wonder if it will be before Thursday next week! :) you might well be the first x
 
Hahahaha I'm not sure how long they normally wait after a sweep or what happens. But if my bp stays borderline or high they'll induce me quicker. I'm so excited that dates and stuff keep coming in for more of us! It's all kicking off hahahababa
 
so exciting!!! I wish I knew when baby was coming too :D
I guess it'll have to be sometime soon. I hope I don't get an intern again at my appt tomorrow, I'd like the Dr to tell me how much I'm engaged. Do they check that by feeling?
 
Yeah they just feel around by your pelvis. Sometimes they make me breathe in and out deeply so they can get a really good feel of baby's head.
Does this make sense, it does in my head...the bigger the baby the bigger the hole they have to make to get him out or do they just squeeze him out? Would this lead to more risks?
 
I think the hole is the same? Where is the baby bigger, as it could be tall as well. But they do sort of squeeze them out :)
 
His head and tummy are big he's not that tall his legs are on the average scale. Both dh and I are shorties.
I just want him here now I'm impatient. I finished all of my jobs. :) the house is now as organised and clean as it can be. And the new flooring has finally been sorted and arranged. Won't be fitted until after lo is here but not by much. Going to spend the day in the garden tomorrow tidying up after the winter and then mil arrives on Thursday evening. maybe I can kick start things whilst gardening.
 
Always worth a try to kick start things. I just don't get why they won't just induce you at 38 weeks when baby is not too big yet, instead of waiting till your 40 weeks and perform major surgery?
I'd definitely try and fight that decision.

I seriously can't wait till baby is here either! I just want to know if its a boy or a girl and I want to cuddle it so badly!!!! :)
 
Yeah Im going to sleep on things and maybe phone tomorrow. If they do decide to bring him early it would still be a c-section so not sure if that's why. Think they said something at the hospital about a 39 week cut off point. Think unless it's an emergency they won't do them before 39 weeks. Size maybe isn't really an emergency I guess.
 
Morning Ladies we are in the Month of May :) It's finally here!!
I am getting very nervous about how this induction is going to go! 8 days <3 x
 
Woohooooo this is our month ladies!
Finally in may and finally watermelons hahahaha :)
 
Zfbaby so if you'd go into natural labour, would they do an emergency c-section?
