June Bundles of Joy - 2016

Those of you worrying about inductions, I hope I can help ease some fears. My last birth was induced as my waters broke and then nothing else happened. As there was meconium present they needed to get him out asap, so I was given first a pessary and then a pitocin drip. Obviously I can't compare it to anything else but I coped with the contractions, I didn't need an epidural or any further interventions. My son was born 13 hours after the drip was started and his birth was straightforward, I used gas and air and my body knew what to do.

Myself I am hoping to avoid induction this time only because I am impatient. If I was offered an induction for tomorrow I would 200% take it!
 
Squig, oh man you think they would have planned ahead with the cots since your c section was planned!

Mommyx, cute bump! Sounds like baby is coming soon!

Mum2, I would call if worried about oc just to see what they say.

Karli, I'm really scared about induction too :(

Angel, what is a pessary for induction?

I went to L&D today because I wasn't feeling her move this morning. I felt silly because I was just there for reduced movement last week but I couldn't shake the worry. Everything looked good and she's thankfully moving a lot now. Monitoring movement is getting very stressful. I love feeling movement and get upset when it's less than usual.
 
I ended up phoning maternity day care and they asked me to go up and be reviewed. I was put on the monitor to measure both baby's heartbeat and contractions, both were fine although I did have a few braxton hicks whilst there ranging from 60-80 and one on its own at 100 plus.
They also took my bloods for the oc test and are going to call tomorrow morning with the results. Thanks again :)
 
Starlight - don't feel silly, going in every time you're worried about movement is important even if it were to happen more than once in a day. I agree, worrying and monitoring movement is exhausting. Hopefully you've not got much longer to go now.

mum22ttc#3 - I'm glad everything went well during monitoring, hopefully the blood results come back good.

=) good luck withthe results. I had the monitor on yesterday and my Braxton Hicks were around the same. She kept asking me if I could feel them...:shrug: is that the same for you ?
 
Good luck with the results mumttc X

Rhi hope you get an appt sooner, three weeks seems ages at this point!

Starlight I wouldn't feel silly for going in for lack of movements, glad is all is good with baby girl.

My baby doesn't ever really kick as such? It's more turns and rolls and general movement type feelings, whereas DS kicked loads.

We went to kiddicare yday and managed to get a cot bed mattress almost half price in clearance which was good. I'm child free today so going to continue blitzing the house and wash/dry all the baby clothes and bedding. Getting excited now!
 
Good luck today Squig.

Starlight, glad baby is all okay. Not long now honey.

Rhi, you should have an appointment at 38 weeks, so book it for a week earlier.

Tinkerbelle, fab find with the mattress. I have a new Moses basket one but I'm holding out for the cot bed until she is moving into it.

Mum2ttc, please keep us updated on the results.

I thought I'd wake to news of babies. Where are they? lol

I think the pessary is called cervadil? It is to dilate the cervix.

You shouldn't feel silly for going in for reduced movements as it is so important, I know what you mean though, at one point I was there every week in a month what with heartrate concerns at an appoinment, reduces movements and 2 anti-d injections! :dohh:
 
There is a cot today so we're heading back in. Hopefully it will be smoother today & there will be a baby!

Thanks. She didn't say anything about them I had to ask her, I could feel tightening every time the numbers went up though. She said they could be braxton hicks or real contractions she couldn't really say so not much help lol I think they were really only concerned with baby's heartbeat and they were so busy up there I don't think that helped either. :)
 
Wishing you all the best for a smooth and safe delivery Squig. We can't wait for an update for our first baby this month. Xx
 
Good luck Squig!


On other news where's my baby? :rofl: 40+1
Everything seems to come then go :nope:
DS back to school Monday and im dreading that :lol:
 
I hope everything goes smoother today squig! I can't wait to see your update :dance:
 
Good luck Squig. I'll be checking in to see how things go. I'm sure you'll be in all our thoughts today.

Can't wait to see our first June baby to arrive in June! (Lol)
 
Hopefully not long now Beccy. I'm feeling pretty fed up and I'm not even due.
I remember the feeling well though. DS1 was 10 days late. Hang on in there and I hope she decides to come soon. Xx
 
Fingers crossed it won't be too much longer becy =)

Afm- my bp is fine ATM =) I checked it myself this morning. If anything it is a little low but that's normal for me. 104/58
I'm shattered after spending all of yesterday at the hospital. Back in quickly tomorrow to drop off some urine haha. Still having alot of tightening and some period type pains. I know it can be nothing but it is giving me at least some hope that I won't go overdue too much ?! Wishful thinking perhaps.

WOnder what they will do if my urine doesn't come back clear again . Seems crazy to keep going in to test my bp and bloods etc. But then again if they leave it I don't see anyone for three weeks. I think if it wasn't for the flashing lights and headaches I wouldn't be going back tbh as I'm not sure protein alone is that big a deal?

I have queried my next app being at 39 weeks and that's what was available apparently. So tough luck?!
 
Rhi that's really odd I understand if they are busy but I just think it's abit long to wait! I'd understand few days before/after :shrug:
With your urine they should be keeping an eye on that well I only had 1 high trace this time and the mw was pretty much like we will need to watch that and keep testing regular if not more regular depending on how high ..

No baby before me Rhi :lol: :rofl:
Not really I hope you don't have to wait like me I'm feeling okay in fairness so that's good but I'd rather be having some signs around about now! I'm thinking if nothing by weekend it'll be more mid week for me! Seems ages off!
 
Ohhh good luck becy hopefully you go this weekend! That would be good and not too far overdue. Get jogging lol.

My husband has been saying the baby is coming on the 4th for ages. I keep pointing out that would be too early but he just keeps saying "I have a feeling" what an idiot :haha: I think it's just because it's his birthday tomorrow. Haha.
