Because Elley does what she wants, when she wants! :rofl:

Well, ladies, c-section it is! Had scan this morning...

Otter is still frank breech and enormous! The machine measured his head at 441mm = 17 inches. *faint*

I can't say his est. weight as there is a contest in my journal -- but he is BIG BIG!!

So, no hope of natural delivery. C section for me Monday -- 7 days!
 
Hi girls,

The most horrendous day so far....will be quick

Went to see MW and ended up seeing doctor. He measured baby and she hasnt grown. He rushed me to a monitor for tracing and the results werent good enough. Ended up being taken to labour room - yes a delivery room!! for continous fetal monitoring. Babies heart is fine, she is very very small though. The best bit is -

I AM IN LABOUR!!!

The monitor traced tightenings, which started to become noticable. I had my BP done which is high - any suprise after the stress?? They took blood too - may be PE.

They've let me come home as pains are small but very regular - every couple of mins. Its horrid.

Will update when poss but didnt wanna leave you not knowing!

xxxxx
 
Good luck Shelley! Sending you quick-painless-safe birth babydust :dust:


(And thanks for all the birthdy wishes on FB everyone :) )
 
wow go team shelley :yipee: glad your little girl is ok cos like you say you've had a lot of stress recently and then being stressed out again at your doc appointment can't help

not long til you're cuddling your little babe :)

tigerlady - as i said in your journal...you're on the countdown now hun :happydance:
 
Good luck shel! See the things i miss when i go on hol?! And great news TL about section date and happy birthday sarah! :) x x
 
Good luck Shelley!

I am eating but apparently not enough so they want me to do what i got told not to do all my life and eat when am not hungry lol
 
Arg!!! I was thinking I might log on and see a Shelley update... or maybe that someone else was double checking their hospital bag, but no! :cry:

Just had an appointment with the doctor. He thinks the baby will come over the weekend or on Monday (wouldn't put it in writing though!). He did a scan which showed the tummy 'out of normal ranges'... (fat!) and a weight og 9lb 9oz but he thinks it's an over prediction and he's actuallly mid 8lbs, just a little round around the middle :rofl: My cervix is very soft, and the head very low, not exactly sure what that means, I guess that things are slowly happening!

Hope everyone's having a good day :)
 
ooh this weekend would be lush sarah...just don't get your hopes up too much in case!!!
sounds like he's doing well inside you which is great :)
 
I know what you mean, Wishing :hugs: How are you doing? I'll be polite and cross my legs to let you go first!
 
aww thanks hun...i'm ok. feeling much more positive than yesterday and just happy there's finally an end in sight :)
 
Ahh thats excellent news Sarah :happydance: :D

I'm ignoring the weight prediction I got from my last scan! She was 5lbs apparently at my 31 week scan :| but my bump is not huge and I just dont see where it all is! :lol: gonna stick with upper 7lbs lower 8lbs but we shall see when she decides to arrive! :)
 
Hey girls,

Well Im still here. Been at the hospital all day having tests etc... Been so stressful and Ive heard tht many different opinions its driving me mad. I was told last night she was that small they'd induce me beore EDD - (sat) but now they've said dont worry, we'll see you in 2 weeks if you havent had her by then!

Im still in slow labour, so I wont go over 2 weeks, but its bloody madness. and Im not impressed.

Its OH's bday tomorrow, so Im kind if thinking she'll be a nice treat for him then :)

Started having painful tightenings again the last hour and just had another serious clear out which is a huge indicator things are moving. Im soooooo tired after all the stress and virtually no sleep though. I am constantly dizzy and feel weak and down. Defo raging hormones and tiredness!

Please send me all your positive labour thoughs and dust, and hope baby comes soon and shes ok.

Sorry I dont know whats happening on here, but I hope youre all well and having signs too? Come on the babies - enough is enough!

Sarah - hope you had a great birthday honey xxx

TTFN everyone xxx
 
I hope things get moving for you Shelley.

Meli Tia has updated TigerLady's journal - she's in hospital hooked up to a monitor as she was having BH's 20mins apart last night & now they're 10mins apart. They're keeping at eye on her as the baby is breech. Will update you when I know more.
 
Sorry it's such a slow road Shelley :hugs: I hate getting mixed info from doctors because it makes you wonder who you shoud be listening too.

I think guesing babies' weights is just a sport doctors play for fun - how many people on here get told their babies are huge or tiny, then give birth to 7lbs babies? So inaccurate.

Labour dust to all :dust:
