Great news zfbaby! x

35 weeks 5 days!

Glad you are able to go home! Good baby!! What was it like staying in hospital? Which ward were you in- maternity or general? Don't worry too much about weight, they can be as much as 2lbs out x

That sounds really tough omi. I am sure uni would be accommodating under the circumstances.

I still haven't really puffed out yet. Got my friends 3 year old last night and today. She is so well behaved but it is exhausting!

FC for a long, lovely summer

 

[OmiOmen]

That is great news zfbaby.

Char I think I am carrying a bit like you, low and far out in front but not so much on the sides.

 

[charbaby]

i had alot of comments at the school this morning about how low my bump is, I can't really see the difference but they seemed to x

 

[OmiOmen]

I can't see the difference when I look down but when I looked side on in the mirror recently I was a bit shocked at how low I seem to be carrying. I think it is because it never happened last time since he was always breach but this time when he turned head down my bump suddenly dropped and I started measuring big.

 

[charbaby]

I'm dreading wednesday lol, I hope I am measuring ok, I have been 2 weeks over for a while now dont want to get to 3 weeks over

 

[OmiOmen]

Is 3 weeks over when they do a growth scan?

 

[charbaby]

Yeah thats what my midwife said a few weeks back

 

[Zfbaby]

Luckily haven't had to stay at hospital at all passion. If the scan showed he was still oblique I'd have been admitted today.
Saw consultant and it's a c-section booked for the 15th which is 40+1 which we were surprised at but I I go into labour early then they will do it sooner. Now that he'd moved they're not as concerned about his safety so hence a later delivery but that's good I guess. Scared how big he will be though

 

[charbaby]

zfbaby, why is it your having a c section?

 

[pebbie1]

Zfbaby that's great news that you don't have to stay in the hospital.
That is pretty late to schedule a c section but hey, the latest in 3 weeks you'll have your baby! Madness

 

[Little Ducky]

'Ello everyone! Sorry I've been a bit absent, juggling full time work and horses is finally starting to get on top of me. Still, only a week and a half left of work and then I can (hopefully) chill out a bit.
This last week or two I have started to feel SO uncomfortable. I feel really terrible because I don't like the feel of movement, I really dislike it when he's rolling around and sticking bum/limbs out of my tummy. Everyone keeps telling me how magical it is and how much they loved this stage of pregnancy, and all I want to do is cry
I'm not convinced I can manage another 5 weeks of it tbh, let alone up to 7 weeks if he goes over. Night time is horrible, his movements stop me from sleeping or even being able to relax, and honestly when he sticks his hands (arms? I don't really know) each side of my hips I want to cry!
I feel bad for not enjoying these things, I feel like it means I'm going to be a terrible mum *cue first time parent style breakdown*

Anyway, how are you all doing other than that? I'm going to go back a few pages top try and catch up with all the latest from everyone. I'm measuring 3 weeks ahead now, but midwife doesn't care and said its just cos Im fat! So no growth scan for me!

Hope you're all doing well. x

 

[passion4shoes]

Oh dear ducky! You dont sound happy at all. FC you will feel a bit more positive when on ML and able to rest. Not everyone likes the movement. It doesn't last for ever and the best way to deal with it is that you know bubs is ok. When bubs is quiet I hope for a really uncomfortable stretch (bum at belly button, feet poking out my side- ouch) which lets me know everything is ok.

Sounds like you need some pampering.

How do you feel about the section zfbaby? Will be nice to have an eviction date!

I have my 36 week appointment tomorrow. Really excited as i Missed the last one and need to start organising the home birth stuff. Had the whooping cough vaccination today. Didn't realise it was so mild - it's the preschool jab! Not hurting yet.

 

[Zfbaby]

Char because I have a problem with my hip and back and because he's large. I don't really want one but there's a very good chance that he will get stuck as my hips won't open up so c-section it is. When he was still oblique it felt like there was loads of reasons why it was the best and only option now he's moved over I'm starting to doubt myself but scared if I try naturally it'll end up that way anyway because of my hips.

 

[pebbie1]

Zfbaby it's best not to take risks as it can become really stressful if baby was to get stuck during delivery.

Ducky awwwwwww hun, I don't really like the movements. I don't mind the little ones but when it rolls over it makes me want to throw up! And I'm finding a lot of movements painful as well. I felt the same when pregnant with Marielle and I definitely did not miss my bump after having her. It's so much better to just hold your baby and cuddle it, trust me, you're NOT a bad mum

I'm now peeing about every 10 minutes and only a little trickle comes out whereas it feels as if my bladder is about to explode! lol I'm seeing the consultant again tomorrow. See what they say.

 

[Zfbaby]

Just thought about all the newborn clothing I won't get to use?

 

[pebbie1]

It's so hard to try and work out what they can and can't wear though. I had this going home outfit for Marielle. She didn't fit in the sleepsuit as she was too tall and the little bear style outfit for outside was waaaaaaaay too big! It'll depend on how tall baby is

 

[OmiOmen]

I am wondering if I will get to use the newborn stuff too. I am now measuring big and generally feel massive. Plus he will get big at some point since DH and DS1 are, it will just be a case of if it is as soon as he is born or a few weeks after. With DS1 the newborn stuff was too big so although I thought DS2 might get bigger I still thought that newborn would at least fit.

I guess not long until we all find out now though. Although I could be potentially 6 weeks off.

Oh I see, I didn't realize, Well seems like you could well be the first to have baby in this thread! 3 weeks time wow seems so close xx
