37 weeks today yay!!!!!!! Daisy is officially cooked, its just a waiting game now!!!!!! Anyone been told the baby engaging yet? On my last appointment she was 2 fifths engaged, have another appointment at 4 this evening. Does this mean things are happening or does it just mean absolutely nothing??

...I noticed you were all about birth plans , at my antenatal class , the MW there told us birth plans get binned and my own MW has yet to even discuss it with me in the hospital . This really bothered me , so I want to ask about that at my next appointment with her , but that's not until the third , what do you all think ?

I'm of the opinion that it's a pretty shit midwife that's given a birth plan and bins it. Certainly, that's an indicator of how they feel about the women they look after. I certainly wouldn't be impressed. As a nurse myself, if a patient's parents gave me some guidelines as to how they'd like things done for their baby (I work in NICU), I'd make it part of the baby's notes and make sure it was followed as far as practicable, and so would all the other nurses I work with. (Example: we had a mother who didn't even want her babies to have a dummy whilst being nasogastrically fed [we only recommend them for that purpose - non-nutritive sucking helps them associate a full tummy from the tube with sucking] - we made sure we wrote on the daily notes in red *No bottles or dummies!!*)

My midwife never brought up the idea of a birth plan, but I knew I wanted one. I wrote one, printed it out, put it in my antenatal notes, and she was more than happy to go through it with me and discuss each point with me at my 29 week appointment.
 
Just got back from Midwife. Baby is just at the brim, sooooo not looking forward to her actually engaging as its already sore and constantly need to pee but can't. She's measuring normal again, so last appointment must have been a wee growth spurt!
I've got carpel tunnel, been given a huge belly support thing and a self referral to physio for spd. Had protein in pee and swollen feet but bp is alright (132/84)

On a good note, I'm away to eat a tuna, cheese and onion toastie and have a big cuppa!

How's everyone elses day panning out?
 
Claire - congrats on 38 weeks!

Julie, congrats on 37!!

Gill sounds like your appointment went well - they not concerned about the protein in your urine? Cant have been too much then so thats good isnt it!!

I just had cheese and ham toastie for lunch followed by a donut lol

Ermmm... also girls - I appear to have lost weight - is this a bad thing at this stage?

I had put on 17lb up until the end of the week before last - this morning i weighed myself and im only weighing as putting on 13lb. I guess I havent been eating as much but has anyone else dropped in weight? Im going to speak to mw later.

Oh - another thing...... awful period pains, is this braxton hicks - happening more and more.

Hope everyones having a good day! x
 
Congrats Claire on 38 weeks. 14 days left for u...that really is nothing!

Mmmmm toasties! I would love one now!! Thing is i cant cook it on the george foreman grill because it has a weird smell to it and makes me feel sick!
How else can you cook a toastie??

I spewed up my toast this morning....yummy!:( Some days i can eat the butter and other days it is the most disgusting tasting thing in the world....this morning just happened to be a disgusting morning!

xx
 
O M G I just realised how much weight I've put on during pregnancy! I want to die!
 
Julie- Congrats on 37 weeks :)

Claire- Congrats on 38 weeks :happydance:

2bananas- I keep getting those period type pains too, I seem to have them a lot but MW told me it's just baby moving down and it's normal.

Caz & Claire- My baby still doesn't have a name either. It's so hard! I also have names that I like, but none that I love :dohh:

xx

ETA: Blackrose- My MW hasn't asked about a birth plan either. I'm just going to write one I think and then ask her to read it

Also, my bump has completely shrunk :( Pics in bump thread if anyone is interested. I swear I'd have noticed if he'd fallen out :rofl:
 
Hi girls, can't believe 1 more day to go and then my baby is fully cooked (37 weeks).
I've got a consultant appointment on Friday to discuss whether they will induce me next week at 38 weeks.

Having lots of braxton hicks - some quite strong, was hoping baby might come early rather than be induced again but I doubt it xx
 
off to the midwife now - catch you all later!

gotta go and battle with a urine pot and my urine now - bloody hate doing these samples!! lol
 
I think I have managed perfect aim and kept a dry hand twice in all the times I've had to do them :lol: xx
 
Always manage to pee all over my hand . Back from the GP , she thinks I may have a kidney infection but wont have results until friday , so I'm not too worried as I feel fine :)
 
The wee thing - use a jug!! I've got a pee jug in the bathroom now cos I kept pee-ing on my hands - blurgh. Really don't like the warm tricking sensation blurgh! :blush:

I've gained 44lbs so far!! :cry: Thats like 3 stone!!!!!! I didn't think I'd gained that much. I've just about filled my current dress size - not gone up though, boobs are a bit bigger but nothing else is different, I don't understand where it all is! sob sob. this baby had better be a 10lber!! :cry:

Drink slots of cranberry juice in the meantime and flush it out if you do! Fingers crossed you don't! XX
 
Gills I've gained a little over three stone , dont worry your not the only one :hugs: haha pee jug !
 
gills - I never thought of having a pee jug :rofl: I wasn't so worried about getting it on my hands - I just didn't like getting wee on the label on the sample pot!

blackrose - glad you're not worried. Hope things clear up quick for you!

Katy - Hope you're doing ok. I'll need to go and see your new pic. When do you see your consultant? xx
