February 2013 Love Bugs

[PerpetualMama]

Up and down with contractions since I went back to bed at 1:45 AM (it is now 6 AM) DTD again when I headed to bed-DH thinks he'll break my water if he's good enough (lucky DH should be just about cleared out from his vasectomy now- we were trying for 20 times like they recommend, but I've definitely lost count now. Sending DH in with his sample asap so I don't have to worry about doing this baby thing again. Ex DH never brought in a sample and we ended up pregnant with DD(15) 2 1/2 years post vasectomy). I have to admit I was so uncomfortable last night, and dtd was not much fun for me as I had a couple contractions during Hoping the contractions I'm having pick up because my back is aching, and my groin/pelvis/peri-area feel like there is so much pressure. That walk I took yesterday has my thighs burning. May not have been the best idea I'm not counting on this turning into anything since they aren't really timable

Hope this is something good, PM!

[PerpetualMama]

they've slowed down again. I'm going to run a bath, light a candle, make some tea, and try to chill out. Hope I can get my butt back out of the tub once I get in DH is asleep and he probably won't hear me call for help going to bring my phone and call my daughter if I can't get out

Anyone not seeing mw now till they are over due?

 

[Wiggler]

I'm seeing the MW on Friday, so 1 day over, I had the choice to wait til 41 weeks though.

 

[embo216]

Hope this is it for you PM! I saw my midwife at 39+5 and I have no more dates to see her I'm booked in at the birthing centre for a sweep on Wednesday at 41 weeks though so guess they'll give me a antenatal check then?

 

[BeccaxBump]

Have a nice bath, PM!

I'm not, MF, I see her at a drop in centre at 40+2 if Lily hasn't come along.

[Midnight_Fairy]

I saw her at 38 and next is 40+4 just seems ages lol

 

[Wiggler]

I think you will have had the baby by then

 

[mrsswaffer]

My next appointment is at 39+6, but I think it's generally because they do clinics on a Tuesday or Thursday, and it's two weeks since my last appointment. It's just where my dates fall with their clinics. I think, after I go over, they'll see me weekly and offer me a sweep at 40+10.

 

[BeccaxBump]

I think you will have had the baby by then

Who? me?
xoxox

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

I have seen her about 6times the whole pregnancy! :/ yeah I think clinic here is Monday, Tuesday and Thursday x

 

[BeccaxBump]

MF, I see a different midwife everytime - it sucks. I seen MY midwife last time and she had a student MW with her, she really hurt my side .

I don't know what they do when you're past your due date, did yours say?
xoxox

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

They sometimes offer a sweep and no idea about induction as my other 2 were born at 39 x

 

[BeccaxBump]

Ah okay, they don't do an induction until you're past 41 weeks do they? I'm hoping to get a S&S tomorrow tbh.
xoxox

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

I think they book you in at 40+10??

 

[gflady]

I'm not seeing my MW til due date and then they don't do a S&S til your 41 weeks so I guess I'll be seeing her then.

I feel crampy today but i think it's just because I need a poo but can't go

PM hope baby comes today!

 

[PerpetualMama]

I'm not going to count on it...even if I feel crampy and all this pressure. Bath was nice, but contractions have petered off. Figures keep me up and down all night with them and now that I'm up they leave
If my thighs were not in such agony I'd drag DH to Home Depot to look at flooring and dishwashers and rugs and faucets for the new house, just to walk around somewhere with solid ground. Or, maybe I should try to sleep again, the contractions like it when I do that

My next OB appt is at 40 + 1, this Friday. Will be calling Monday to talk to her about my NST and fluid level check though. I am AMA and supposed to have that done for baby's safety...

PM

My appointments are always on a friday, so my last was 37+5 and they have just bumped me up to weekly appointments now so will be seen at 38+5 and 39+5 and then will have a sweep at the hospital at 40+7 and induction 40+12 if necessary.

We have been into town and had a nice walk around the shops and was cramping really bad in Argos OH was telling me to go lie down on the display bed

Morning ladies! Hope Lindy is doing well and has her little one!

How is everyone else feeling?

Fides and Em, can't believe neither of you have had your babies!!! Must be a stubborn boy thing LOL!

Nothing for me either, just lots of BH that never go anywhere and a ton of cervix pain, a little more spotting here and there (hopefully from dilation). Looks like despite what everyone, including the doctors, thought...little man will end up being forced out later this week! My appointment to talk about the induction is tomorrow morning. A little nervous but excited to get things moving and make a plan!
