Happy 33 weeks time!

Awww sorry you ladies are feeling crappy I feel great at the moment, and the past few nights I've slept so well xx

 

[time]

Yeah Kellie it was horrendous!! I couldn't actually lift my left leg it was that bad and back rubs were not helping! Finally went during the night so I must have dislodged baby from wherever she was haha! Hope I don't have to go through that again anytime soon.

Would I know the difference between something like that and the onset of Labour?!

 

[ttc_lolly]

You definitely would hun, it would get a lot worse before it got any better!

Hey guys

Time, yay for 33 weeks! I hope you are a bit more comfortable today?

Had my growth scan, was with a really lovely sonographer and was in there about 30 mins whilst she looked at every single part of him like a hawk. Was really friendly and chatty too which was nice.

Measurements taken were:

Head: 315 mm - higher end of the scale but not by much
Abdo circumference: 311 mm - this was well over what it should be, its the tummy of a 37 week baby
Femer Length: 62 mm - normal.

Estimated weight: 5.3lbs which puts me at 35 weeks approx.

So not the 42 week monster that the midwife had led me to believe :S Still a little bigger, but only a few weeks now...phew!

Consultant appointment afterwards was just pathetic tbh. I was completely steamrollered by him and I dont think he understood what I was asking. I said I wanted to know the plan as things are right now and I think he took that as, I want to be induced now so just bombarded me with info on how bringing him now was dangerous etc

I have to wait for my 36 week appointment where 'we are going to have a frank talk about the birth' which sounds like he's telling me off, not talking through my options! So bleh, no further with what is going to happen, but least I know Logan is more than ok in there and isnt really that massive. He's a little sod mind, the sonographer was trying to get his cord up to measure for ages and every single time, he would grab it and pull it away

 

[ttc_lolly]

Glad everything went well at your scan Sarah never trust FH meausurements! That' strange your consultant started going off on a tangent though have you been told you need to be induced for some reason, or was you just trying to ask if it'd be possible at some point?

 

[Sarahcake]

He mentioned that it would likely be needed because of the medication that I am on. I'm currently on blood thinning injections which need to be stopped prior to the birth or there's a risk of bleeding out which is easier to do if I know when the birth will be.

Honestly he was all over the place today, first off saying that I can have a natural birth, then induction at 42 weeks, then on about induction at 37 as we need to stop the blood thinners in good time...so yeah, I'm even more confused now than I was when I started!

I don't honestly mind how Logan comes into this world, but I'd prefer to not be messed around with the several different ways it could happen!

 

[ttc_lolly]

What a joker yeh that's understandable you'd rather know likely when it will be, I wonder if your consultant was high!?

 

[kellie_w]

Wow, talk about how to confuse you more! He don't seem a great consultant if he can't just give you a straight answer and date really glad that Logan is measuring a better size, fundal height really means nothing then!

Time, you will definitely know if it's labour pain, as Lauryn said it would get worse and worse. I'm hoping at my next midwife appointment Monday that she will be able to tell me Oliver's position. If he is back to back I am going to be spending the next 6 weeks on all fours trying to turn him, no way do I want to go through that again!

Time- sorry to hear about your pain, so horrible when it gets like that! I had a back labour with Izzy and the pain in my back was on and off with breaks inbetween, thats when i timed them and realised they were contractions.

Sarah- So pleased about Logans growth! Shame your consultant was so useless!

x

 

[time]

Thanks ladies I have had the pains back today but they definitely aren't coming worse or in intervals so think it's just where baby is laid at the moment.

Didn't even realize I was 33 weeks today ive been so busy woo that was a nice surprise!

So glad everything went well today Sarah bet you are so relieved, but your consultant sounds pretty useless! Hopefully you will get some answers about induction etc soon. Knew your fh must be way off!!!

Happy 33 weeks time! x

Good morning!

How is everyone?

How is everyone getting on preparing for baby?

I am unsure when to start washing the moses basket bedding etc, if i do it too soon its just going to get dusty!

I got out all the clothes this morning just so I can touch them and fold them back up again!

Hiya Ally

Feeling pretty good today, ended up doing an epic march throughout town yesterday myself as its Neil's birthday today and I got some last minute money to get stuff for him! It knackered me so I was out like a light as soon as my head touched the pillow!

How are you feeling today?

Prep wise, nothing has happened here yet but were going to start this weekend, clearing space for the furniture, washing and putting clothes in the new drawers, setting up the changing table etc. I want to get everything sorted at once, but cant as my friend has gotten us the changing bits, i.e changing matt and bath things and wont let us have them until Logan is here *facepalm* lol and my friend is sending us her moses basket from Liverpool but she's not been able to just yet.

Feeling very very disorganised currently and I hate it!

 

[Scally]

Glad you had a good nights sleep!

I have gone the other way with sleep now, i still cant sleep on a Saturday night at all, but all the other nights I am asleep by 9 and find it a struggle to get up at 6.30!

Why isnt your friend letting you have the things before Logan is here?

I have sorted Izzy's room about a million times now, i just need to sort something and that room is getting the brunt of it!

I cant wait to unpack the bouncy chair, the Morrck etc!

Morning girls!

I'm feeling pretty proud of how organised I am now! Oliver's room is done, just some wall stickers to buy, all his clothes are washed and either hung up, in drawers or in vacuum bags in the loft for next size up. Nothing left to buy, car seat, pushchair and hospital bag all ready. And I started my Christmas shopping! I'm debating filling my freezer with food after defrosting it yesterday, is anyone else making meals up?

After the worst night ever with luke, I'm feeling pretty rubbish today. 1am-5am he was constantly out of bed. Took me ages to get to sleep anyhow so prob had 2 hours last night. I am seriously hoping this is just a one off and not a phase

Anyone that likes red dwarf, the new series is on dave tonight, me and oh we're lucky enough to be in the first audience for this one, it's really good! Not lie the last series x

 

[kellie_w]

Ohh and happy birthday to Neil! It's funny when I see you tag him on Facebook as his surname is the same as my sister and her family, it's not common so was amazed to see someone else with it! X

 

[pops23]

Kellie you are currently my role model! Nursery is done but still lots left to do!

Happy Birthday Neil

Pics of nursery in my journal ladies xxxx

 

[Scally]

Well done on being organised Kellie!!!! I am impressed that you have started your christmas shopping!

I am planning on making meals for the freezer, I know that me and my OH could live on junk but i want to have the good meals in there so Izzy can still eat well! We are planning on making a meal every Sunday to freeze- great that we have a big chest freezer!

What an awful nights sleep with Luke, you must be shattered, I hope he has a long afternoon nap for you

[Scally]

Ooooh love your nursery!!!!!!

And happy birthday to Neil!

[kellie_w]

Love love love your nursery pops! Mamas and papas stuff is worth every penny, our furniture is from there and lasted well, just a broken drawer where it was used as a ladder by a naughty little boy! I really want to get some bunting!

Ally, did you have a letter today from the hospital about a research phone call you may get from some auditors? I had a proper panic when I saw the hospital blue writing on the envelope!

I think I'm going to make a bulk of both cheese and tomato pasta sauce to freeze for my fussy eater, (he would eat pasta all day everyday if allowed!) some emergency microwave meals, portioned fresh meat and fill my cupboards with ready made sauces, pasta, soups, beans etc. We only eat Chinese takeaway now after being Ill from Indian, pizza and burgers!
