She's beautiful. Congratulations x

Apple - last time I was so tired and equally amazed and busy with the baby that I didn't need anything to occupy me. I was discharged at 7:30pm.

If I have to go in this time I won't take anything as I'm sure something on my iPhone will entertain me x

ah you see im in at 7.30 am and my c-section is 'at some point in the day' so i was thinking ill be a mixtures of excited, anxious, bored and hungry!

Hi!! I have a change in my dates. My EDD was supposed to be on Aug 8th but I will be in for my C-Sec this coming Monday, 23rd July.
My twins have reached full term at 37 weeks and will be 37w5d on Monday
It's incredibly painful with my SPD / pelvic girdle pains. Can't really walk much or move.
Wishing everyone a safe and happy delivery!

Apple, im brining my laptop as there is free wi-fi in our hospital. I was there for 3 1/2 days last time and did get a tad bored sometimes. I had the TV to help.
But yea, besides the laptop, im not really brining anything else for entertainment.
As for snacks...just whatever you like to snack on. But honestly, stick to stuff that will help loosen the bowels up. You will thank yourself later! Lol

I've got a few magazines packed, and I'll bring my Kindle for reading books. If DH thinks of it, he might bring his laptop. Theres TV in the hospital room here so that will be helpful too. I have group B strep so I'll need to go to the hospital right away, so entertainment will be needed I'm sure!

 

[TTCinBC]

I had thought about some books, but Im struggling as it is now to get through a book atm. Which isnt normal for me, so i doubt I will read while in there. Something easy and mind numbing when im so exhausted is easier for me lol

I was having some mild contractions this morning and early afternoon. I managed to have 2 naps today and it seems to have helped them. I could tell it wasnt labor, but I suppose my body is trying to do what its supposed to do. I just hope it holds out until the 3rd when my c-section is booked for

jm - shes so beautiful! congrats!

kozi - be sure they test your LO imediately for the strep.
I have group B strep too and it is the reason I am in the pickle I am in now.
please be careful.

Of course as soon as I heard the results I went on Dr Google and got totally freaked out. I hate how my Dr's office just makes it sound like no big deal. I will be trying to discuss it with my Dr on Fri at my next appt. I wanted to talk about it at this weeks appt but I had a fill-in Dr and she was a snob who didnt have any extra time for my questions.

 

[DHime]

Kozi - I hate that. I tried to get my doc to test me for anything. I knew something was wrong but didn't make it to the strep test. they don't do it before 36 weeks. Of course docs will play it down but I wish I had known I had it. Just get your iron up since strep can increase your chances of hemmoraging too.
The things we learn by experience....

Heck I am going back to the hospital today for the pneumonia and they will likely admit me. I have been cleaning the house and taking a LONG shower before going since I won't likely get to really bathe while there.

Word to the wise... be sure to bring deodorant. you get a little ripe after 2 days. lol

Thanks for the advice dhime. I also have the groupB strep which freaked me out a bit after researching it, but they will automatically be giving me antibiotics when I go into labor so I hope that will be enough. It does make me nervous though, sorry you have had to go through complications from it.

 

[DHime]

hope everyone is well today.
FX for those in the hospital or in their perspective birthing places.

 

[jmandrews]

Thanks so much everyone! I am excited to hear more baby announcements coming up. It was the most amazing day of my life. She is perfect. We are home now. I finally am able to get on here and get caught up.

 

[apple_20]

My baby is coming tomorrow aaaaahhh.

 

[DHime]

gl apple

 

[apple_20]

Thanks.

Just had some bad news as a close friend has had a missed miscarriage confirmed today just back from the hospital with her. It's such horrible news and bad timing

 

[puppycat]

Oh I'd love to know when I was going to have my baby!

Be nice to go into hospital just for a break from a toddler and husband, lol

 

[buttons1]

Good luck apple

 

[BrittasticTX]

I haven't been on here in so long, so exciting to see all the new babies!! Dhime, you're little fighter, and you, are in my prayers! And gl tomorrow Apple!!

At my 35 week appt, my doc told me that he expected the baby to come around 38 weeks, said my cervix was softening and he could feel the head down there. I have my 37 week appt in a couple of hours, and I am very anxious to find out if there's been any change! I *TMI* starting pooping normally for the first time in MONTHS yesterday, have been having more painful BH, and today I'm feeling a bit crampy. We are scheduled to close on our new house and move on the 3rd, the logical side of me wants him to stay in until then, but the physical side of me is ready to evict!!

 

[TTCinBC]

Good luck tomorrow Apple!

I am generally an uncomfortable mess right now. My body cant decide if its coming or going these days. Its just generally sore. And my belly...it hurts a lot these days.

Sorry for the moan!
