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

[Sarahcake]

Haha I wish food emailing was possible right now, I'd totally take you up on that!

Think I'm going to make that our tea tommorrow! Mmmm!

 

[time]

Mmm sounds amazing!! We ended up getting a curry but still no sign of baby!! Had some much worse contractions during the night though but only about 3 from what I remember, when I turned over. They must have been pretty far apart as I nodded back off in between!

Omg sarah isn't it your induction tomorrow!?! How are you feeling? What time do you go in? So exciting!

 

[Sarahcake]

Ooo will be keeping an eye to see if those contractions turn into anything! It's not unusual to have a few then for them to come back during the day properly!

Yup tommorrow is the first day of it. I've got to ring up in the morning and ask if there is space for me. I'm booked in on the Tuesday but not for Monday which seems daft but my consultant told me to ring at 8:30 and tell them I need a prostin pessery tommorrow. It's all in my notes so I'm hoping they are expecting me!

Getting a little nervous now, spent all day yesterday on a one born every minute marathon with Neil and it still hasn't really twigged that ill be doing that like...tommorrow! Lol

 

[Inoue]

Your very brave watching OBEM Sarah! I havent been able to watch it since pregnancy . I hope the hospital has space for you tomorrow for the pessarys, then tuesday is the day of ALL days x

 

[Sarahcake]

It was actually Neil that wanted to watch them yesterday! Up until that point he had a very minimal idea as to what birth actually entails. I've been able to watch it fine throughout but now it's so close for me, I just sat there wincing and 'ouchie-ing' my way thorough it lol!

Thank you my friend had her baby at the same hospital under the same conditions (induction) just last week and she said they take loads of women in for it as they have a fair amount of rooms there so that's promising at least! Gonna be a nervous wreck on that phone tommorrow mind!

 

[ttc_lolly]

Eeeek Sarah how exciting! I will be stalking all day tomorrow and tuesdays hanging on for every little update

 

[Sarahcake]

Hehe! Phone is reconnected now so I have that to take in so shall try and update the best that I can from in there. I'm expecting tommorrow to pretty much be a non event as its just pop pessery in and wait so will be on here trying to keep myself amused lol

 

[Inoue]

Its definatly the waiting thats the pain, my nurse did my pessarys in less than one minute, just try to relax as they put them quite high - oh! and dont be alarmed if you feel 'wetness' when you stand up after having them put in. Its such a wierd sensation .

Im *still* determind to get Reimi out before my dam sweep (still torn about it due to strep b) so been on my birthing ball. Again, i got a mass amount of pp, especially when i do full hip rotations but then i get off and nothing?! GRRRRR! Sex tonight i think! lol x

 

[pops23]

How come you've had a pessary Inoue?

So exciting Sarah, I would love to say I'm having my baby in the next couple of days! Hope the induction works well for you my love

I'm feeling massively impatient today, and can't believe of I go fully overdue it could be 3 more weeks, wah! I don't wanna wait that long!

First NCT friend had her baby on Friday night, little girl, I know 6 girls that have been born this week including the lovely poppy xxx

 

[Inoue]

I hate to think it could be another 3 weeks . Thats just NOT going to happen *fingers crossed*. I had pessarys placed when i had my last D&C to open cervix up before surgery. They wasnt to bad incase we need them later on like Sarah x

 

[Scally]

How exciting Sarah! whats the induction like at your hospital? Have they given u a timeline? Will be checking in tomorrow and Tuesday for updates!

Inoue- Lol to having to have sex tonight! lol! Come on Reimi out u come!

Time- shame about your contractions stopping

All of your babies seem ready to come out they are just tormenting you!

We went to Mothercare today, really needed to get an all in one outdoor suit for Poppy as well as a cardigan as nothing we have fits her (we got 0-3 months mostly as Izzy was only in newborn for a couple of weeks), ended up spending £100 ooooppssss!!!

x

 

[Sarahcake]

That's soooo easily done in mothercare. Such lovely things but I do find them to be a little pricy.

Thanks for all the well wishes for tommorrow will do my best to keep you updated!

Ally, from what my friend was saying, you get admitted at 3ish, have the first pessery around 4-5ish depending on how busy they are and are left for 6 hours then for it to work. They check you after and if they are able too, they break your waters and if not, another one is put in and you are checked again at 9am to see if they can break them them. That's as far as I know really as my friend had hers broken at 9am.

Apparently all of the rooms are ones you labour and then birth in so you stay in the sane place which is nice. Glad it's not a ward where things are just curtained off and your given a bit more privacy.

 

[Scally]

Its good that you are in your own room, the privacy is needed i think with something like that. You'll have your baby really soon!!!!!!!!!

We chose Mothercare as needed a one stop shop for lots of things and I really dont have it in me to traipse round a town. We bought a cardi and all in one for Poppy, some dummies, a swaddle blanket, some breast shells, a nursing vest for me, a cardi and wellies for Izzy x

 

[ttc_lolly]

That's good you get your own room from the start Sarah, I wish our hospital had that. It's awful being on the antenatal wards there, 4 sometimes 6 beds to a room and everyone in different stages of their inductions or just in with complications (me!). Nightmare

You got a lot for your money really Ally I could spend a fortune in mothercare, so I try to avoid going in when I can!

 

[pops23]

Good luck Sarah! Thinking of you xxx

 

[kellie_w]

Good luck Sarah! Will be thinking of you tomorrow, can't wait to see Logan! Enjoy what may be your last nights peaceful sleep! X

 

[Sarahcake]

Thank you all your good luck messages are nice to wake up to

Rang the hospital and am booked in to start things off at 3:30 today!!! Kinda hit home what is happening now, especially when I asked if I needed to bring my hospital bag in and the midwife replied 'yup, once your in, you'll not be leaving without a baby'!

Really, really scared now lol but so excited! Gonna be pacing the flat til it's time to leave!

 

[ttc_lolly]

Eeeeek that is so exciting Good luck Sarah!

 

[Sarahcake]

Thank you lovely Hoping tonight passes quick so that I can get on with the main event tommorrow lol!

 

[Inoue]

Oh wow! What a phone call Sarah!! . Wishing you all the best for today and tomorrow, were all here online at some point if you need to chat xx
