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

[pops23]

Ladies, just back from MW and finally managed to speak to someone who listened to my discrepancy in dates (I think I was due yesterday as did the baby from my scans but as it wasn't a weeks difference between that and the date of my lmp they ignored it) obviously been worried about it lately as could do left to 42+3 when at my hospital they induce at 41+5 if they did get the dates wrong.

I'm off to L&D at 6pm for a CTG, they want to check as I'm having so many contractions and it's making it hard for me to feel baby moving as my tummy is so tight all of the time, but she thinks it's probably just latent stage of labour which can go on for days and days. I then have a sweep tuesday at 9am, thursday at 3.20pm and will get my induction date then. Is likely to be at 41+2 because of date issues, so will probably be 6th or 7th of december

will let you know what happens this evening, sure all is fine but it's good to know for sure after 3 full days of painless contractions only 5-10 mins apart!! xxx

Yep exactly. This has happened before when he's hired skips and ive had a spontaneous bill, luckily money is ok for us but thats not the point, id rather spend that £100 on Reimi than gravel. Bleh, now got to deal with this on Monday, my due date

Hope they do check you Lolly on Monday, some mw can be really anal and not do it untill spot on 40w (hence I have to wait till Tue at 40+1). But id try and push for it anyway, I cant see how a few days out make a real difference x

All the best at hospital pops! Must be difficult to notice movements when your bump is tight all the time. Im glad you got someone to listen to you though this time, did she offer you a sweep today or are you happy to wait till Tuesday? X

 

[pops23]

Definitely push for it hun, and keep an eye on that BP my lovely xx

Thanks lauryn, I've been thinking about it all afternoon and I think she was over exaggerating everything to be honest. Lots of women have tilted cervix, my mum included, and go into labour/deal with pain fine.

She said she wouldn't do another sweep because of how tilted back it is and it won't work, but I should have my regular midwife back next week anyway so I will just have to ask her to try again if she can. I've looked on baby and bump for failed sweep stories and a lot of women still go into labour within a couple of days so I'm a lot less disheartened now and know it could still happen for me. And if not its only 9/10 days and I'll be induced, I won't get the water birth I want but so be it!

Pops I think I have had exactly the same, my contractions are 10 mins apart and have been for over a week now, sometimes I will get an hours break from them so I am still getting babies movements though but because they are there all the time but not progressing in strength im sort of getting used to them. They do make me breathless though. Midwife also told me they are the start of labour but I just don't know now.
They should definitely have changed your dd, mine was changed because my scan put baby 5 days bigger, I wouldn't want to go more than 14 days overdue as there are all sorts of complications that can happen so put your foot down as the dating scan is the best way of finding out when baby is due not lmp!

Good luck for Monday too lauryn hopefully they will offer you a sweep!!

Inoue you are much nicer than me! I would be having a right go if that was my dad you really don't need this right now!

That's great news pops, let us know how the CTG monitoring goes. I hope you get given a date for induction too

I'm glad you're feeling more at ease now time, I swear, some of these MW's are literally off their rockers with some of the crap they come out with I'm pretty sure my cervix is quite far back too, they always struggle to find it when I get smears and when I had my coil fitted in 2010, but labour was fine for me!

Luckily I am seeing the consultant on Monday and I hear they are able to do sweeps before 40w if necessary, so I just hope he sees me as a ''necessary'' and doesn't try and fob me off to come back because I've already arranged childcare for Amber and OH has booked half the day off work to come with me and we can't do that all again x

Hope your hospital visit went ok pops let us know how you get on!

Just thought I would upload a quick overdue bump pic to show you ladies how big I've gotten haha! I wonder if I go 12 days over if I'll get much bigger?!

 

[ttc_lolly]

Awwww time your bump is lovely! You're so tiny though I bet you're struggling, bless you hopefully it won't get too much bigger!

 

[pops23]

Hi ladies just to say all is well and am still pregnant will update properly in the morning

Sleep well everyone!! Cx

 

[Sarahcake]

Hey everyone. So sorry Ive not been able to come back and check on everyone. Still in hospital and its pretty hectic. I'm feeling loads better now, just having some issues feeding as my hemmorage has apparently stalled my milk coming through so were working out a plan to combi feed until my milk comes in (if it ever does) and i should be allowed home tommorrow. Logan is just amazing, no words can describe how happy I am that he is here, how he came into the world isn't even a factor, never thought I could love another human as much as i love this little man

How is everybody doing? I'm on my phone with pretty poor signal so I've not been able to go back through the thread so apologies but I'm totally clueless

Is there any signs of any babies coming yet? Have sweeps been had? Lauryn how is your blood pressure now? Really hope you are all doing ok. You are all so so close now, I'm so excited for you all

 

[Inoue]

Will await your update pops

Sarah, youve done well to logging on, appreciate that its not easy when in hospital . Im glad your feeling better now after the event, still take it easy. Bless what you said about Logan, I cant wait to feel that prime emotion if overpowering love for a little child - so sweet . Glad you should be out of hospital tomorrow, time to get back to normal.

I have my sweep on Tuesday (11:50am) so in an odd way im looking forward to that

Wow... We have 22 guests on here!

Xx

 

[ttc_lolly]

There were 22 guests!? that creeps me out a bit

 

[Inoue]

Lol, I had to do a double take and show Marc . Our posts must be entertaining . How are you feeling today Lolly? Got any w/e plans? X

 

[ttc_lolly]

I'm feeling really grumpy and tired! Woke up to pee around about 8 times last night and then our silly cat started miaowing really loudly and scratching our bedroom door at around 5am so didn't get the best night's sleep. Not doing anything today, just relaxing. I was thinking of popping into town to get my nails done as they are looking pretty rubbish lately but that's about it for my plans today. How about you?

 

[Inoue]

Oh bless ya! Had to laugh thinking of little kitty cat wanting some attention at an unsightly hour . Get well rested today, a nice manicure sounds a fab idea! Im trying to get Marc outside to do some gardening, mainly to trim bushes back and sort out our border, so dam foggy here though he's digging his heals in . Will temp him out with a nice coffee I think x

 

[kellie_w]

Hi girls!

Very disappointed to see no more babies on the way, its so weird seeing all your tickers being either at or nearly at due dates. I really hope these little ones dont keep you all waiting much longer! 2 weeks and they should all be here and i guess our thread will be moved on again!

Hope you all have a lovely, possibly last weekend without babies! Sending more labour dust xxx

 

[ttc_lolly]

I'm getting really annoyed with the cat, she keeps doing it lately I hope she stops by the time the baby arrives as I won't survive on no sleep from night feeds and then 5am wake up calls from the cat! I hope you manage to get your OH out to do the gardening!

Change of plan - I'm off to have a full body maternity massage at a spa in a much better mood now!

I'm disappointed too Kellie I really hoped I'd go early second time round, but doesn't look that way. I still have 5 days yet though, but I'm ready for her to be here now, My breastfeeding pillow and shawl arrived in the post today, so I now officially have everything... just need the baby!

 

[pops23]

Morning ladies!

22 guests, wow we're popular!

I slept badly, lots of tightenings, reflux (think madras in the back of your throat, yuvk!!) and heartburn, seriously had it all going on!

CTG at hospital was fine, bean is very happy, heartbeat was lovely they said, just what they like to say, but contractions were definitely happening and lasting a while so was really good to see that I wasn't just imagining it!! They said it looks like v early labour, and hopefully means sweep has more chance of being successful!

Just to be sure had a madras last night and then DTD finally this morning! going to again monday before sweep to help things along.

So for me, sweep 9am tuesday, 3.20pm thursday and then will get induction date on that thursday, looking like 6/7 December I reckon, but really hope baby has come by then. The midwife said it felt nicely cooked, he he, and that Lee and I would make beautiful babies, I really hope so!

Lauryn, I got my nails done, couldn't bear the thought of going into labour with bad nails, I'm such a girl!

Hope everyone else is well, love to all the mummy's and babies xxx

Aww pops glad everything is okay, hope your cervix is favorable and you can have your sweep next week! Sorry you didn't sleep too well, my heartburn is horrendous most nights so I take a glass of milk and rennies up to bed with me now. Think that has been one if the worst parts of pregnancy for me!

Sorry you didn't sleep either lauryn, I think pets know that something is happening as our dog hasn't been sleeping too well either, been waking at 5/6 so we have moved his bed into the front room and so far it has worked! Have a lovely massage!!

Walked around town today and it made my Braxton hicks a lot worse and pretty much constant.. Also had a lot of discharge (sorry guys!!) but don't think it was my plug or anything! This waiting for something to happen is killing me!!

 

[Inoue]

Lol, were all disappointed Kellie - we have some very reluctant babys here

Marc got loads of gardening done so very happy, will try and get the rest done tomorrow if the rain holds off.

Pops, glad your LO is doing fab! Its so strange to see the HB on the screen going like the clappers. My LO ranged from 120-180 when she really got moving. Guess were both waiting till Tuesday now! .

Time, nice one on getting the BH going with the walking! I also get a ton of discharge so im with you on that one!

Hope you enjoyed your salon/spa treatment Lolly! Sounds lush!

Xx

 

[ttc_lolly]

Have your BH turned to anything more time? I'm also getting a lot of discharge, creamy/watery. No plug at all though

My massage was amazing, definitely just what I needed feeling completely relaxed and happy! Just chilling at home now, we are going to get an indian tonight and I might order something hot to see if that can get anything going. Doubtful but worth a shot!
