At 34 weeks they say the lungs are develooped enough if baby decided to come early. Yay for lung development!!!!!!

 

[iprettii]

yay congrats for Emily!!!


I have my 33 week appointment tomorrow Then Thursday after work I leave for NY. I have a few more baby shower things to take care of.. Such as getting my hair and nails done plus finding an outfit.

I also had my hospital walk through yesterday that went well.. I was able to pre register at the hospital so that's one less thing to worry about on the day of delivery.

Hello lovely jelly beans...

This is a quick post, just wanted to pop in. I'll catch up on everything when I can..

Spent last week in hospital and am in and out every two days for monitoring.

I have pre eclampsia. Great.

LO is ok at the moment. I feel ok, just scared.
Going in tomorrow for another scan and more monitoring and tests. I hope to get some answers this week and possibly a decision on what to do next and when bubs will need to be induced. They are trying to drag it out to 37 weeks on the medication I have, but I want her out asap before it gets worse. It will not get better so they are just trying to keep me stable.
My emotional state is well, a state and I keep crying into baby clothes. This is not like me!
On the plus side, I get to see her every week due to the scans, and last week she was 5lb so hopefully this week she'll have put more weight on.
Also, she is almost engaged and I am having so many huge braxton hicks that they sometimes take my breath away!

If anything changes I will text Leanne/Smiffy

Be safe all you little January Jellybeans..

O hunny bunch! Sending massive to you. I am sure everything will work out ok and on the plus side your LO will be here soon (can't believe your gonna get your cuddles first, how jealous am i??! ). Sending lots of happy thoughts anyway for your little madam to grow and be nice nd healthy when she comes

I'm off back home again this afternoon. Looking forward to going and getting sorted, got some wrapping up to do and cards to write. I also wanna do some baking at home too, I'm determined to have a go at pastry - I must be mad!!! Also appear to have this need to make some bread!!! Hoping OH has left the house in an ok state, well done some washing up at least lol.

At midwife tomorrow, can't wait to see if bean is engaging himself as I hve been having a lot of pressure down there and feeling heavy very low now. Regina I agree with the cervix thing. Sometimes it just feels like tiny little nails on it lol!!!

Happy wednesday everyone xxxx

 

[mum2be2011]

Congratulations Emily on the birth of your little boy. Hope you are both doing well.

Sorry I wasnt around yesterday I spent most of the day either asleep or with my head in a bucket or down the loo. Still feel disgusting this morning

Tracy - The ribena in RLT wasnt my idea, I think it was either Jade or Beccy. Not sure to be honest. Glad its nice though.
Tracy - Mr Rachael is indeed Luke

Faff & Fidget - sorry about the pre-eclampsia. Hope LO continues to be ok and you too.

***update***

Emily has given birth to Louie Leslie Gregory, he weighed 5lb 4oz and has been taken to scbu. He is absolutely beautiful. Congrats Emily!!!!

Yay congratulations Emily and great weight! xx

Seems like we're all having a day of cooking! I'm just making lasagne whilst listening to Xmas tunes, trying to get myself in the spirit!

I think a few of us are friends on fb now arent we, so we shld be able to update the JB's from there when anything happens, I know my hubby won't post on here!

Sounds fun Yep am sure we can all update on FB xx

I am really craving a cold glass of lager!! How weird is that. It's driving me mad seeing my husbands stella in the fridge! lol

Oh well, better have a RLT instead.

I was sooooo craving red wine the other night! xx

oh oh oh - just noticed, LAST BOX and 30 days!!!!!!!

Scared or excited? I can't decide. happy dance anyway I think ------>

Yay!!!!! How exciting!

Woohoo for last box LittleMrs!

Lisa - Wont be long and we will be in single digits!

I know I was thinking that earlier! Scary stuff although more than welcome now!

Yay really wont be long for you now and Naomi! x

Right ladies I need you knowledge and giudance. I posted this in third tri but to no avail as of yet. I will just copy and paste it because I have had my nails done and typing is hard work at the moment lol. Hope somebody can help.


So for the last few weeks I have been having shooting pains in my foof, saw my Gp and he did a urine test which came back negative and then said maybe your further along than we thought or it could be "mechanical" his new favourite for saying "I don't have a clue".

Well just woke up, thanks insomnia, and went downstairs to make a drink. I could hardly get back up the stairs for the pain. It hurt so much. It is not my SPD a it is just like I am being stabbed in my foof. I only get relief from laying down but it is still niggling at me. Has anybody had this or know what it could be?

It was bearable the other week (and I have quite a good pain threshold) but now it is nearly bringing me to my knees

I have those pains too! I notice if I accidentally stretch the wrong way in bed, it's extremely painful. Other times, it's like I tole my OH last night "I think she's scratching her way out of my cervix!)

***update***

Emily has given birth to Louie Leslie Gregory, he weighed 5lb 4oz and has been taken to scbu. He is absolutely beautiful. Congrats Emily!!!!

Congratulations Emily on the arrival of Louie. I hope he continues to stay strong and grow well

Thank you to everyone that has welcomed me to the room. It is nice to feel welcomed, especially when I was worried I might be shunned!

happy to have a man in the forum. Please excuse all the hormonal ravings that we may have from time to time!

I'm feeling marginally better today. cough is not as intense anymore- just sneezing a bunch today. Still drinking tons of Orange Juice which is so yummy and I feel like it might be helping.

My baby shower is on Saturday, but only a few people have RSVP'd, so it'll probably be pretty small. I'm still excited though and one of my friends will be taking the pictures, which i hope to post later.

Tomorrow is 34 weeks... does anyone know why that is a milestone? I know there's a reason, but I can't remember.

Hope all you ladies are having a great day!

Hope you have a fab day Saturday hun! xx

Oh no, hope you feel better soon hun. Your not having much luck with sickness at the moment are you.

oMG I am in the last ticker box too!

Yay! Wont be long before we are all popping them out! lol




I have come down with a stinking cold! Great. My Daughter is still really poorly too. I feel exhausted being this big, not sleeping, looking after Eloise and having a cold.

I have also got so much pressure and pain down below now I have got the penguin waddle coming on nicely! lol

 

[millward329]

Love and hugs to Sam and the LO, take it easy hun We will be thinking of you.

Sorry to all of you feeling ill. Can't believe it is all getting so close now with people nearly on single digits or going under 30 days. Here was me thinking crikey cos I just got under 40. Our babies are going to be here soon

I've got the breast feeding workshop at the hospital later - 3 hours!!! Surely it can't be that tricky but quite looking forward to it. I have to wait till I get home to tour the hospital so starting to get itchy feet about going in two weeks. A lot of packing to do between now and then though - must not forget the medical card!!

Have a good day everyone x

 

[hodbert]

Hey ladies! :wave: Am up at 4am due to freaky birth dream, hubby gave me a quick 'aw' and then fell back to sleep ! My lower area and hips/legs are so achey now, its such a challenge getting out of bed for the two-hourly loo trips I need to make! Baby girl has been a bit quiet over last couple of days too. I am still feeling her move, but not as often as usual (she has been very active throughout). Will have to do a kick count today as am a little worried.

Anyway, hope everyone is good!

 

[Fraggles]

Afternoon all, well seen the hospital and i'll be having baby early by c/s looks like will be 38-39 weeks they are phoning me with a date.

 

[jojo-m]

Yay fraggles you lucky devil! I'm going to be very jealous when all these babies come before mine! Glad you got your section sounded like that's what you wanted!

Faff hope they don't leave you too long in limbo and you have a good birth, considering how well all our new jellybeans are doing I'd say baby should be great even tho early! Keep us updated!

Hi to proudestdad, nice to see a hubby taking some interest, I have enough trouble getting my hubby to chose a name never mind anything else! He was rubbish last time too, only takes interest and is a good dad when baby arrives! So just me that suffers ;-)

Ipretti forgot what I was going to say to you, on iPhone so won't show me posts but think your seeing hubby at weekend? I'm sure your really looking forward to seeing him, must be tough been alone a lot!

Off to Uni today, only have one more lecture next week and that's all theory time finished! One essay to write and a final placement of 14 weeks to do after mat leave and I'm a qualified nurse! Woo hoo! X

Enjoy the breast feeding workshop, I can't believe it is 3 hours long! There is a nack to breast feeding that can take a bit of getting used to but 3 hours!!!

Aww, sorry about your freaky dream Lisa. I had loads of weird dreams when I was pregnant the first time, I think it's because you are so anxious about it as it's the first time.
It's a bloody pain being so achey isn't it! I don't wake up that often to go to the toilet but I do wake up to turn over in bed as it takes such an effort now! lol

I hope baby gets wriggling soon. My baby has slowed down a lot which is normal for this stage as they have no room, just really small movements which you probably miss during the day.

Afternoon all, well seen the hospital and i'll be having baby early by c/s looks like will be 38-39 weeks they are phoning me with a date.

So many of us having our babies early. I keep wondering if I made the right decision opting for a VBAC rather then a c-section but it's so hard to know whats for the best.

Yay fraggles you lucky devil! I'm going to be very jealous when all these babies come before mine! Glad you got your section sounded like that's what you wanted!

Faff hope they don't leave you too long in limbo and you have a good birth, considering how well all our new jellybeans are doing I'd say baby should be great even tho early! Keep us updated!

Wow, well done you!

 

[Fraggles]

Jojo it seems best to be honest

Naomi after scans and things they've upped my rupture risks and they said at any point I can try vbac and was all for it but im getting worse with sickness and every time we think things might start I have to go in so its stressful. I cant labour at home at all.

I think the main thing is to avoid a general anaesthetic as I had complications with the last few and if a planned section is more controlled i'll take the safest option. I think what I was finding hard was knowing if I fail to progress or reach due date i'd have a section anyway as I cant be induced.

Main thing is healthy baby and healthy mum.

The hospital finally saw the extent of my morning sickness today as I was throwing up most the time I was there.

Thats great news Jo. Which branch of nursing did you do?

I did childrens nursing but left at the point you are at now. Never did my final placement. Stupid I know. Going back once the girls are older to get my degree

 

[proudestdad]

Rache managed to intercept my surprise for baby this morning, so I figured I might as well post pics on here for all to see (plus I think it is ace and everyone should see it!)....



It is in 0 - 3 months, so hopefully baby will get some good wear out of it!

Hope everyone is doing well, or as well as you can in your various situations. We are thinking of you all and hoping all goes well for all of you

Oh no, hope you feel better soon hun. Your not having much luck with sickness at the moment are you.

No I know, sickness was never this bad with Phoebe. To be honest im getting really fed up with it. From the sounds of it im getting off likely compared to fraggles.

Naomi - sorry you and Eloise arent well. Fingers crossed it wont be long for you now and you get to meet your little jellybean

 

[Neko]

So many January babies here already!

I panicked this morning. I hadn't felt the baby by 9:15 so I called my OB. Of course the baby starts kicking at 9:20. d'oh...

Unfortunately yesterday's ultrasound shows the baby decided to turn breech. Anyone know what the chances of the baby turning now is?

 

[mum2be2011]

Hi Neko, according to one of my pregnancy books baby has up until 37 weeks to turn. At 37 weeks if baby hasnt turned they will do another ultrasound to check position and try to do a procedure called ECV (external cephalic version). This is where they put pressure on your abdomen and try to turn baby into a head down position.

Try not to panic, have you got an exercise/birthing ball if so get bouncing on it as it can encourage baby to turn on it's own.

it's great to see a man on here. Can't convince my DH to come on here at all. Just wondered where you managed to get the cute little babygro? My DH had seen one with the same logo in a shop window while we were ttc. Of course by the time we got a BFP, the shop had closed down. I would love to get it as a surprise for him lol

 

[Fraggles]

Love that baby gro

Neko baby has time to turn, couple of things that may help is bouncing on a birthing ball or go swimming and do squats in the water. Hold on to the side though as it seems to make baby turn in one swift movement and makes you feel a bit funny.

I want baby to hold on till after New Year because looks like i've had my babies further apart than 14 months then
