January Jellybeans 2013!...

[Lauren021406]

nikki im thinking of you. I am sorry your going through this

 

[Soniamillie01]

Nikki - sorry to hear of your update hun but glad they are taking the necessary precautions. Hopefully they'll let you go till 37 weeks. Is that next Friday? Hope the scan is ok

 

[darkstar]

Will be thinking of you Nikki, sounds like you may be holding Ella soon!

Anyone else got really sore boobs? I even had stabbing pains in mine and I just dreamt I was breastfeeding, maybe because they were hurting in my sleep?

Off for blood tests today, I am worried they will find more protein after the urine test yesterday and what that means :/

 

[AJThomas]

Whoa, halfway thru the day and so much has happened already! As long as both mummy and baby will be fine, these beans can come whenever they need to, altho I know we want some of them to cook a bit longer.

Afm, midwife appt today and everything is fine, baby is still head down, facing my back and in position, he has dropped a bit but his head is still pretty high but he seems to be working his way down. Ideally just 2 weeks left unless I go over which I'm hoping I won't.

 

[Kaiecee]

Here is my prediction which is so way off lol!



Get your bags packed early just in case you need them. Make sure your partner has a phone available when he's away because this baby just might come early. We predict your baby will come 2-3 weeks early. Your baby will most likely be born in the morning. Justmommies predicts that your baby will weigh approximately 8.5 pounds and that your labor will be about 6 hours long.

 

[DeedeeBeester]

Oh Ladies, hoping all of our jellybeans come by safe! Will be thinking of you!

I have a theory LOL Once one of us starts to actually labor, we will all go down like dominoes hahaha.

 

[AJThomas]

Lol, good theory Deedee, let's hope you're right. I'm interested to see when our first natural labor and birth will come, it seems we're all lining up for inductions or c-sections so far.

 

[JCh]

UPDATE!!! OMG!

So lets just say things kinda just hit me and got real.

I went to my doctors appointment today and the placenta is showing aging and deterioration like they suspected since my insulin needs went way down... I had a NST and baby wasnt being reactive enough so they repeated the NST an hour later and she was a little bit more reactive... I was checked internally due to my uterus being irritable and I am now 50% effaced, still 1 cm dilated, and baby dropped to -1 position. I am being sent to the specilaist office tomorrow afternoon for anther ultrasound to check blood cord flow and the placenta again, growth etc instead of my regular scheduled apptmnt next wednesday..

and then they came in with all of my papers and made me sign my life away in case of a c-section... what to do when my water breaks, or if i get more contractions... Its all one big blur, so I am trying to wrap my head around it all..

Fingers crossed that ur LO bakes as long as possible and things are ok until that time. Sorry to hear the bad news, at least they're catching these things and keeping baby safe!

 

[BlossomJ]

my back is killing me and I'm so tired as I have been having trouble sleeping I really can't wait to have this baby! Tomorrow I have to get the last couple of things I need for Christmas and then on Sunday I will start baking I am making sugar cookies a mouse tart and maybe some other things also tomorrow DP and I are going to clean up the yard so that on Boxing Day we can set up Christians new pool and swing set that he is getting for Christmas

It's so weird for me to think of swing sets & pools at Christmas when it's winter here. Can't imagine Christmas in the summer!

 

[sassy_mom]

Yea Deedee I think you might be on to something! I am headed off to my appointment ladies! Let's see what they say.

Sorry they've got concerns about your placenta Nikki. Good that they're keeping an eye and at least baby is pretty well baked by now.

I just did the labour predictor:

Just about the time you think you can't handle hearing one more "when is that baby going to pop?", your baby will decide to make it's appearance. We predict your baby will be born 3-7 days before your due date. Your baby will most likely be born in the morning. Justmommies predicts that your baby will weigh approximately 7.8 pounds and that your labor will be about 5 hours long

I can't imagine this baby will be over a pound lighter than her sister but we shall see. The timing sounds along the lines of what I expect and the labour sounds similar to last time too.

Feeling quite uncomfortable tonight. Got a stitch like feeling at the bottom right of my bump and I've had a lot of BHs. Going to have a bath with Meg, put her to bed, wrap a couple of pressies then relax before an early night. Hubby is working 8pm-4am tonight so I'll have the bed to myself for most, if not all the night.

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Good news is that I am pretty sure they will keep baby in til 37 weeks! Unless the placenta has other ideas before then, but I think we will be ok!

 

[BabyHopeful2]

Made it to my last Dr. Apt even with this blizzard. (not that bad really, but our first big snow so everyone gets concerned). Still 1 cm dilated, but 75% effaced. Go in at 5 pm on Christmas Day for induction!

 

[DittyByrd]

For what it's worth, I now plan on packing my own soft toilet paper to bring for L&D. The last 24 hours have been rough on the netherbits since the hospital provides that sandpaper TP.

I will have more info for you later! Testing done in less than one hour.

 

[Soniamillie01]

Ditty - thank you so much for the toilet roll reminder! When I was admitted at 4 weeks I remembered thinking I must bring my own roll! Packing it now.

Hope you're ok x

 

[mellywelly]

Deedee, I think you might be right about the dominoe effect! It's just a question of who will be the first one???

 

[BabyHopeful2]

I know it doesn't mean I'll go into labor now or later, but I'm excited that I've got my bloody show. I would love to go into labor naturally before induction on Tuesday.

 

[Lillian33]

Oh Nikki sorry for your not so great appointment, but as the other ladies said, they are doing what's best for the baby and seems as though you'll make it through to full term

Ditty, I'll be thinking of you too, I have my monitoring in an hour too! Fingers crossed for good news for us both

Melly you seem to be having a rough time with not feeling well, really hope it gets better for you

Deedee, how great would that be, a massive influx of babies from our group! Would be very exciting!!

Hope everyone else is doing well xxx

 

[DeedeeBeester]

Yeah, come on ladies! Someone get this party started! Haha.
Well, as of now it's yet an hypothesis, but bring me the facts! We will all together make it a theory. Haha.

My ancestors were good at this... ya know, them Mayans? LOL Oh, by the way: Happy End of The World Eve hahahahaha.

 

[darkstar]

Wow you're right Deedee the dominos seem to be all lining up!

Just had my blood tests for iron and pre-eclampsia after there was protein in my urine yesterday. Crossing fingers all is ok.

Counting down to Monday now for presentation scan and meeting with obstetrician if little man is still breech, should have a c-section date then for around 7 January.
