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

[time]

Sorry sarah no idea but it sounds as though he may just be fully engaged which would be good!!

I've also felt really light headed today lauryn! Sort of like I couldn't see clearly either which wasn't nice but once I sat down I was fine!
No more pains for the last half an hour now.. Even after a spicy curry! Starting to think this baby is never going to come

 

[pops23]

Good luck tomorrow ally, can't wait to hear about it and see your little beauty xxx

I'm so excited for tomorrow! Ally, huge hugs to you, I'll be thinking of you all day and can't wait to see your update when baby finally arrives! Good luck at your appointment Sarah, hope Logan is fully engaged!

Good luck girls with all your eviction attempts, I hope your cramps and pains soon turn into more! Won't be much longer for you all, can't wait for you all to join me. Sorry if I'm posting quite a few pictures on fb, my sister lives in Ireland and can't get over til next month so I post them for her mainly!

Arnica is ment to be really good for bruising, I was going to get some this time, but don't really need it now as healing fast. Ally, I wonder if you will be out quick too and end up with most of your hospital bag being unnecessary?! I only used a baby grow, nappy, blanket, towel and pad. Was weird unpacking the huge amounts I took!

 

[ttc_lolly]

Good luck tomorrow Ally, will be thinking of you can't wait for an update!

Ahhhhh good luck Ally!!

 

[Sarahcake]

Hope your doing ok Ally! Am thinking of you!

Just come back from a good appointment with the consultant Saw the one that accompanied my regular Dr this time as my normal Dr was tied up in an emergency :S

She gave me a sweep...did not expect that to happen today lol Was uncomfortable but I wouldnt say painful. Having some period pains now though and bleeding from it (which she said would happen as she wasnt gentle with it). My induction has been moved forward to the 20th, which whilst its only 2 days forward is still something. I have to be admitted on the 19th for one pessery though as im halfway between favorable and not and she said just the one pessery will make things quicker overall than just giving the drip. However she did say that im beginning to dilate so shes not entirely sure ill even make it to the 19th...eek!

Had to have my pee sent away to the lab though as its come back with +2 keytones :S Kept being asked if im eating right or if ive been sick which ive been eating like normal and am fine :S

Little man is doing great on the scan, this one correlates more with the other scans ive had. I knew the last one wasnt right, even the sonographer noticed the differences between results. His tummy is now back to being his biggest part and the fluid has gone back up to the range it was at before. His estimated weight currently is 8.1lbs! eek!

Sat here now with a coffee and cramping up, fun times lol!

 

[ttc_lolly]

Ooooh exciting Sarah!! I think it's safe to say you'll be having Logan shortly after Ally has her baby... or maybe before, who knows!?!

 

[Sarahcake]

Haha! Id be pretty impressed if I managed to get him out before she does! A bit worried about the bleeding im getting though, she said to expect some spotting but this is like a light period? Will give it a few hours and see what happens.

 

[time]

Eeeek ally I've not stopped thinking about you this morning!! So excited to hear news and see baby pictures!

Kelly I am loving the photos of oliver he is so so gorgeous he's making me want baby here now though!

Sarah wow didn't expect you to have a sweep this morning it definitely sounds like something is going to happen but keep an eye on the bleeding and head up to l & d if it doesn't stop soon. I have a feeling logan is going to be here very soon!

My pains/contractions are here again. This is day 5 and they are still 10 mins apart and now feel more like period pains and tightness. Going to ring labour and delivery and ask how long I should be having these before doing something about it!

 

[Sarahcake]

Your not the only one that wasnt expecting it! She said she was going to check me to see if I was favourable for induction but I was wondering what the hell she was doing lol I didnt realise it was that until I got afterwards 'Ok, well ive given you a sweep too whilst I was there' LOL! I thought I would have had to have been asked consent for that to be completely honest. As it happens, I didnt really mind but what If I did!

Tmi alert, the bleeding is kinda like a period :S Ive had to swap pads over as one is full and I only had it 2 hours back now. Will keep an eye and see how it goes. Just had a braxton hick (i presume it is anyways) which has just bought me to a standstill though :S

I would definately ring now hun, see what they say. They may want you to come in and check you over. 5 days is a fair amount of time to be having them to be honest. Let us know what they say, fingers crossed its the start of things!

 

[Inoue]

Bloody hell Sarah!! A sweep!! . We have to wait till over 40w for first sweep, guess with your spd you get it done sooner. All the symptoms afterwards sounds very positive, bleeding that amount is not unknown but just keep on eye on it .

Time, I agree with Lolly and Sarah, id just phone the L&D just to let them know and see what they say . They may want to monitor it or just give you some advice. Sounds very positive though!

Gosh, so Scally is in for today, Sarah your on the edge and time doesnt seem to far off either! This is going to be a busy week x

 

[time]

I think it's because Sarah was booked in for early induction so they probably want to try get things going naturally if they can. Does sound very promising!

I just wish my waters would break it something so that I know something is actually happening rather than all this waiting around not knowing if it's just false labour!

Also feeling really really sick in waves.. Is this normal??

 

[pops23]

Bloody hell it's all going on today isn't it!!

Although you won't read this good luck Ally! gosh baby may already be here by now, eek!

Kellie I don't think we're friends on fb, add me or I'll search for you, want to see pics of your gorgeous boy

Sarah saw your fb, was chuckling away at all the responses from your friends, especially the guy asking what a sweep was! can't believe she just did it while she was down there, ha! Great news though, fingers crossed it all moves quickly for you my love

Time I would call l and D, 5 days is quite a long time, just see what they say but I agree they may want you to pop in just to see whats going on

I've been told I can have a sweep at my 40 week apt and then another 48 hours later which I'm definitely up for. I've got my 38 week appt tomorrow so am going to double check even though I've asked them 3 times, he he! a friend on mine had a sweep and had period like bleeding sarah, and then went into labour the next day, so fingers crossed!!

I'm trying to think of the positives if I go overdue, the only one I've found so far is putting the christmas tree and decs up to bring baby home to! xxx

 

[Sarahcake]

Yeah you are exactly right Time, they want me to go naturally ideally - which is what I would prefer 100%, as would they. Its normal here to not have a sweep until you are 40+4 but it can be done from 38 onwards if you have an induction booked but can only be done by a consultant.

Im exactly the same, I wish I could have just one definitive sign, waters breaking would be ideal. Least you know exactly where you stand then dont you.

Not so sure on the sickness, I know labour can cause nausea so its a possibility that its a sign. Hopefully L&D can shed more light for you, so far things do sound promising for you though!

Edit: Just saw your reply Pops! Lol yeah bless him for asking! Think he kinda regretted it Googling it though! I do love how my friends have gone off on a tangent about muconium and things now...so much for keeping it all 'Facebook friendly' eh!

What I will say about the sweeps, is honestly, dont worry about them and how painful its going to be once you get booked for them (should you even get that far!) I can genuinely say, that whilst it is uncomfortable yes, it wasnt painful for me. If you have had a speculum exam, then this is a walk in the park
