January Jellybeans 2013!...

[span]

I'd also like delayed cord cutting. They wouldn't do it last time as I had a fibroid and that can increase the chance of post partum haemorrhage. No fibroid on scans this time but I've had low platelets on recent blood tests so, if they're not in normal range before birth, I imagine they'll also want a managed 3rd stage.

Kaicee, I'm not engaged either.

Sonia, I'm trying hanging upside down from my knees whilst on the setee to try to get baby to turn around from back to back. Found it on spinning babies, not sure if you have come across the technique?

[Soniamillie01]

^ gorgeous!

Ginger - I'm sure if you tell her your symptoms she may check if you ask?

Melly - I've seen that one and going to try tomorrow when a friend is here incase I get stuck! I'm right in thinking knees on sofa, arms / elbows on floor? I've been gym balling it but not sure what I should be doing in it so bounce around, rotate hips etc

Beautiful neat bump Jellybeans.

Gorgeous pic Jellybeans!!

Melly, I really hope you start to feel better soon, dont want to feel ill before you go into labour!

Sounds like things are moving along nicely for everyone - or at least we're all at the stage of trying things to make things get moving!!

AFM, I had a very surprising Dr appt yesterday which ended in the doc telling me im looking a bit puffy, have slightly high BP and a bit of swelling so they want to induce me on the 27th December??!! It all happened so quick and I didnt think any of my symptoms were that bad?! Anyway, monitoring for
pre-e on Friday so we'll see if that induction date sticks. I may have a 2012 baby afterall - never expected this!!

Hope everyone is doing ok xx

 

[Soniamillie01]

Hi Lillian, wow! Glad they are looking into it and monitoring it for you. A 2012 baby hope Friday goes well.

So . . . A friend of mine recommends caster oil and orange juice??? I've heard mixed reactions and think I will give it a miss but what are your thoughts on it?

 

[Kaiecee]

I think I'm the only one not Engaged baby is still high up and cervix super closed

You are only at 35 weeks so you still have plenty of time for baby to make a move. Although, do they need baby to be engaged for a c-section? I don't know how those work.

No baby is head down just really high still I just figured with the bh and all the sex and movements I feel low down that something was happening but I guess not I just thought maybe baby would want out sooner but I guess not

 

[AJThomas]

BabyHopeful should b next in line for delivery, I forget how many days away it is but it's very soon!

 

[mellywelly]

Sonia, yep thats it. Isn't the ball supposed to help baby engage?

I was just reading the royal college of midwives updated policy and they recommend delayed cord clamping now, but I suppose its still down to individual hospital policy?

 

[La Mere]

We will be delaying cord clamping/cutting until it stop pulsing and turns white also. We has planned the same with Rayven but everything happened so fast at the hospital and hubby and I were so tired and thrilled to have our baby we forgot to mention that to the dr., if we had stayed at home her cord cutting would have been delayed also.

Lillian- I hope your appt. goes well on friday.

 

[Poppy84]

Thanku for ur advice on delayed cord clamping/cutting. Iv done a little research and have also decided to have it delayed for 30 mins.

On my birth plan it says position for delivery. I don't really know what to put for this cos surely I won't know what's comfortable until I'm doing it

 

[Soniamillie01]

I believe so but not sure what I'm actually supposed to do on it lol.
Midwife said it was also good for opening pelvis which will help give baby that extra space if needs to turn.

In m ante natal classes they said they wait for it to stop pulsing than cut

 

[La Mere]

Poppy, all I know regarding position during labor is I was comfortable laying on my sides, up on all fours and sometimes walking.. I was on my back the whole time I was at the hospital and was horribly uncomfortable and they wouldn't let me move, not that I could with all the junk they had me hooked up to

 

[sassy_mom]

DH should just stay out of my way tonight. For the last two days, I don't know what is going on but I am aggravated at everything and am snippy. I haven't been like this the whole time but now I'm ready to go insane on someone. Even my FIL asked if I was ok. He said I seemed off the last couple of days. I just want to feel normal again.

 

[AJThomas]

I had one of those days today Sassy, it was mostly hunger induced for me didn't help that DH and I dtd and he finished without me and I didn't get to, boy was I grumpy! Food cheered me up a bit tho but I'm still a bit mad at him.

 

[ARuppe716]

I've been off with for two days now and haven't actually rested! I feel like im going non stop trying to get stuff done! Although we had a cleaning service come today and scrub down the house and I gotta say it was worth every penny. My tub, oven, and base boards sparkle!! They cleaned things I would never be able to clean in my current state.

Sounds like we're all nearing the end! Isn't it a blast? Haha

 

[Betheney]

Is there still just 3 jellybean babies.

I'm genuinly surprised no one has gone into spontaneous labour yet.

 

[AJThomas]

My goodness! Is Remi really 1 month old already?!

 

[darkstar]

Wow Lillian that's exciting news! I was just thinking that we don't have many babies yet considering we're over halfway through December.

Its OH's birthday today and I hadn't bought him a gift yet so I had to go and do that with no clue what I was getting him.. Luckily I found something and I managed to pick him up a Christmas gift at the same time, then I came home and wrapped it all plus the family's presents. I'm exhausted now, I'm only sleeping about 3-4 hours a night at the moment.

I won't be doing delayed cord clamping as I have a fibroid. I haemmoraged after my first baby and thats not something I want again it made my recovery tough.

I have a midwife appointment tomorrow so hopefully she can give me a clue whether he is still breech or not although I felt hiccups at 3am this morning in the top of my bump. I feel like he is laying transverse right across my belly but we'll see.
