Its June!!!!! 20 week scan next month!!! Whos with me?

[Scally]

To be honest by the time we got to theatre i had had 14 hours of labour and 3 attempts at ventouse so when they said they were doing a c section i was relieved! I also lost about 2 litres of blood last time which they assure me will hopefully not be as bad this time!
There are risks with a c section, but this time i am going to feel more in control and hopefully stop my baby from suffering aswell- mind you walking to that theatre must be nerve racking!

Oh Ally That sounds awful, you poor thing. I can totally understand why you want a nice, controlled c-section this time. Makes complete sense to me as a lot of your previous trauma would have been caused by the rushed nature of an emergency c-section.

I have everything crossed that this time, because you know exactly what will happen and it will be done in a nice controlled calm way that you will have a much much better experience and an easier recovery as a result.

Eek, I'm just stopping by quickly, I may be wrong but just rushed home from morrisons after 6 huge contractions. I have soon remembered how much this hurts! Things have died down now in the last half hour, I just keep getting some back pains but I'm hoping that this is the start.... Ill keep you updated! Knowing my luck it's a false alarm! X

 

[Scally]

Agggggghhhhhhhhh Kellie how exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please keep us updated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! x

 

[Sarahcake]

Agggggghhhhhhhhh Kellie how exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please keep us updated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! x

I totally second this!!! haha!

Keep us updated hun, im all excited now x

 

[time]

Oh wow Kellie how exciting!!!!! Keep us posted!

You poor thing ally, most of those problems were from it being an emergency c section though which are apparently so much harder and a lot worse to recover from so I'm sure everything will go perfectly smoothly on Monday! Being prepared for a c section must be so much easier to deal with thanbeing rushed off last minute after being in labour for hours!

Agggggghhhhhhhhh Kellie how exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please keep us updated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! x

I third this!!!!!!!! Keep active and see if baby will come out ~ arrrrrrrrrr!!!!! xxxxxx

 

[ttc_lolly]

OMG Kellie, exciting!!!!! Keep us updated, I really hope this is it! Here's some labour dust LOL!

 

[kellie_w]

I think it's nothing. All died down, just have dull stomach and back ache crampy feeling and a stinging like feeling round my cervix area. Hoping and hoping that it kicks off again soon. Sorry ladies for getting hopes up!

 

[time]

Aww Kellie, quick go get the breastpump out haha!!

 

[ttc_lolly]

Awww hun, don't be sorry silly! Get your DH to give your nips some stimulaton or do it yourself of course! Try everything you can to get those contractions back x

 

[Sarahcake]

No need to be sorry! Hope it all kicks back off for you soon! At the very least you know that things are happening now which is awesome

 

[ttc_lolly]

I wonder if Kellie has had anymore contractions!? Will be on here eagerly in the morning to find out!

Has anyone had a feel or attempted to feel their cervix at all? After seeing a thread in 3rd tri I thought I'd give it a bash disappointed to discover that I think mine is really high, really far back and pretty firm too. Didn't feel open at all this baby's never coming out!

 

[Scally]

I have never tried that Lauryn- i have no clue what i would be looking for! lol

Any news this morning Kellie!?

Hows everyone?

4 days to go!!!!!!!! (if they kept my original appointment it would have been tomorrow! boo!)

x

 

[kellie_w]

Can't believe you only have 4 days ally! It's getting more exciting!

Hurray for full term Lauryn! Congratulations on making it, that's all of us there now!

Nothing exciting from me, just feel like I have been kicked in the stomach and back severely, few more twinges. Back to the waiting game I don't get it, I know what contractions feel like, they were definately 100% them, no way braxton hicks. I'm even more scared now..... Just got to tell myself I can do this just on gas and air!

 

[Scally]

Happy full term Lauryn!!!!!! And 38 weeks Sarah!

Kellie- how strange, it could be the start of it all, slow labour maybe? You will be able to do this, lets hope you get the room with the pool that'll help.
What have you got planned today? Think u need to go for a long walk, have a curry, eat some pineapple, dtd and maybe the other that Lauryn suggests for a last resort??!!! lol

x

 

[Inoue]

At least you had the start of something Kellie ~ sounds positive!! . Maybe get walking again if thats when you had your last set of contractions

Happy 37 weeks lolly & happy 38 weeks Sarah!!! Xxx

 

[ttc_lolly]

Thanks ladies Finally full term! It feels so surreal, I feel like I should only be 20+ something weeks still and happy 38 weeks to Sarah!

Arghh Kellie how annoying. It definitely sounds like this is the start of things though, so do as much as possible to try and help things along. Get walking or bounce on a gym ball if you have one?

 

[Sarahcake]

Woot on full term Lauryn!! That's all of us now isnt it?

Ahhh Kellie, how frustrating for you!! I suggest you crack out all the old wives tales today, really does sound like your body is ramping up for the big day though so hopefully those contractions will pick up again today and form a pattern. Cant help but feel slightly sadistic mind when I say I hope your pains come back lol!

So Neil finally plucked up the courage to give DTD a go last night, didn't have to bully him into it either...want to know the typical thing though? We couldnt do it as my spd just hurt too bad! So I did (tmi) give in and out of desperation do...the other....and actually, I started getting tummy cramps last night. They have since died down, but maybe there is actually some truth in what Lauryn said about ingesting it... enjoy your morning dose of tmi from me ladies haha!

 

[ttc_lolly]

Hahahaha Sarah I think I love you!!! Well done to you on ''taking one for the team'' and actually trying it out! I've promised OH I MIGHT try it in another week or so, depending on how desperate I get on getting this baby out!
