July 2009 buddies wanted!!

[shelleylu]

Hey ladies,

Sarah - dont stress about the section sweetie - hopefully it wont get that far. Just stay away from the sugar and babies head will come down ok. Williams head was MASSIVE and it got out! I have an average frame too, but it was smaller before william!

Eveyone - what is going on with us? I cant cope with the sugar rushes! I am eating for 20, not 2! (biscuit allowance that is!! )

Gem - great news about leaving work!! I have another 3/4 weeks left which I think was a bit ambitious. especially fulll time. I have dropped my hours (weekly hospital apps and exams coming up anyway) so hopefully it wont be too bad.

Hospital tomorrow for me girls! Wish me luck that baby has grown a bit!!

TBH it feels like she has doubled in size the last 2 days. Gem, my BH have come back too, and also the most horrendous pressure and pain down stairs. Literally whenever I stand or walk its there. Im asking at hospital tomorrow. It feels like shes ready to burst out of me already!

Maybe - have you got that baby out of the bath yet??!!! Hope your uni work went well I had a shocking physics mock exam today. Better get revising!!

TTFN everyone xxx

 

[maybethistime]

Hi girls , hope you are all well, no change here, but thankyou for all the messages

I havent been craving sugary things at all, strange, cos last time with the wee man, I was eating a pack of malteser buns every 2-3 days, atm Im living on salad, beetroot and vine tomatoes yum , I am a weirdo !!

anyways just going to put the boy to bed, talk soon x

 

[Elliebank]

Hi girls,

I haven't had any BH either, glad I'm not the only one!!

 

[godivalocks]

I've been having lots more pressure and pain downstairs.

I also keep on waiting for the nesting urge to strike, but, alas, no sign of one. I need it, though. Constantly trying to keep this place straight, especially with more company over than usual.

About 4+ weeks left.

 

[TigerLady]

I've been into more sugary things, too, but not as bad as some of you ladies! I still eat lots of fruit, but I eat it constantly!!!

I am back from my growth scan. Good news and not so good news.

Good news: I passed my GD test again - it was nearly too low at 87. So, Otter is not big due to GD!

Bad news: Otter is still on track growing like mad. OB checked my fundal height (3 times) and it is measuring 36 weeks (4 ahead). Then he did the measurment scan of Otter. In his words "You have a full term baby in there." He is 6 lbs (up 2 from 2 weeks ago). Even more scary - his head circumference is full term, measuring 38 weeks.

So, OB thinks full term would be 10 lbs+ with a head too big to fit through without harming me or baby. He wants to schedule a c-section for 39 weeks, somewhere around July 20, give or take a few days. That is only 6.5 weeks from now!!!!

 

[Sarah+]

Oh, Tiger! That must be a daunting, but how great to know you baby's birthday! How do you feel about a section?

So weird that we are getting different advice for similar situations. My LO was 6lbs 3oz at 33w (and his head is big!) and I'm an average-sized person but the dr still thinks a regular delivery will be okay. Hope he's right!

Shelley - will be thinking of you today Sure it will all be fine and tonight you'll feel so much better.

I just posted a thread about online/mail-order maternity wear, as I just can't find any decent night-wear, dressing gowns etc. and I don't want to wear the lovely 'pink' do up in the back hospital gown. Can you UK ladies suggest any sites that may send overseas? Thanks

So, have they measured your pelvis to know that he'd be too big to come out that way? I mean, is his head super-huge or something?

 

[Sarah+]

Sometimes even if it will still technically 'fit', they like to be cautious to reduce the risk of internal tearing etc. I know in Japan (the land of tiny hips!) they do a really fancy laser test to check pelvis size, but I haven't heard of it elsewhere.

 

[godivalocks]

Huh. That would be nice if they did that measurement here and allow the woman to decide whether she wants one or the other.

Personally, I don't like either way of getting the kid out, but the idea of having my abdominal muscles cut into when there's possibly a less traumatizing way to get 'em out doesn't appeal to me much.

Good news about your GD test.

I'm starting to worry now as my growth scan isn't for another 2 weeks! and we seem to be measuring the same so bump is going to be huge before they even know quite how much he weigh's oh i wish it was this week. I wonder if they will offer me a section like you or they will leave me to it?

[Twiglet]

Why are most of the July babies turning out to be big beasties?

Here's my little one measuring 4 weeks ahead last week...everywhere. Maybe it is the sugar

Had some horrible pains down there and in the pelvis area last night...hope that means she's engaging now. She's been headdown since 21 weeks but I have this funny feeling that she'll turn soon...because Caitlyn is naughty like that

Hope everyone is having a good day?
