June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Actually... my "period" pains are quite bad now. I might need some paracetamol to take the edge off them =/ and my back is killing me! =(

 

[vaniilla]

Tinkerbelle - I hope the bh turn into something soon for you

Pixie - that's understandable, a newborn is stressful enough without having to go through a long hospital stay and worrying about her health

AFM I'm not going into labour anytime soon, I get a lot of braxton hicks but that's due to an irritable uterus so I'm used to them coming and going now. I'm really sick of random ligament pain though, and shooting hooha pain when I walk/stand.

I'm trying not to think about the fact that ds was born this time next week as I'll be getting my hopes up for nothing!

Angel - try and put your foot down at the appointment, the guideline is just that - there is nothing to say they can't give you one sooner.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Turn that frown upside down rhi! Labour watch is the only time you've got to be happy about being in pain!

And since its not happening to us we'll be extatic about it

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Haha pixie... evil true though.

I'm 38+1 today and this is when my water broke with my son. Very unexpected to me because I didn't have any signs last time. I keep thinking now my water could break at any moment but I'm sure she'll make me wait until next Friday for my scheduled c section

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

That's exciting though geralyn. Only a week to go =)

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Rhi, are we on labour watch for you? Exciting. Xx

The end is in sight Geralyn. Not long to go now. Xx

AFM, nothing. xx

I wouldn't think so. To go this early after two 42weekers would be odd ? It's a nice thought though =)

I took a couple of paracetamol and it hasn't really helped. It feels like day one of my period which for me is the most painful day. Basically back pain and menstrual cramp pains. Just like a period though I can basically ignore it if I stay busy; which ATM means cleaning my pit of a house I'm just warming up the steam cleaner now and I keep coming back on here to refresh for baby news !! Where are all the babies at ?!

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Rhi, I'm sure the next baby born is you!
Keep us updated. Xx

 

[Lavochain]

You ladies have made me repack my hospital case. Thank goodness too as I hadn't thought about taking a towel

Rhi - Fingers crossed it is something happening. I'm actually getting the same aches and pains as you so maybe that's a good sign for both of us? Wishful thinking...
I think we're due around the same date too.

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Naughty queue jumpers you two!
If this is it for both of you then I am super jealous. Xx

 

[AngelofTroy]

Sounds positive Rhi and Lavochain!

I had such a lovely midwife!! I haven't seen her before despite her being listed as one of my 2 key midwives She was fantastic about my anxiety, had loads of information and ideas. Aaaaaand she gave me a sweep and said I'm a good 2cm and she touched baby's head!!! Bishop score of 4 if that means anything to anyone.

She was even fine and supportive of me checking my own cervix and pumping antenatally and gave me some syringes to store colostrum.

It is amazing and scary that midwives can be so different. 2 weeks ago the lady I saw, although nice, said that there was no way I would get a sweep at this appointment!

I've got a half hour walk home now! Wasn't expecting to have been examined let alone swept!

 

[ehjmorris]

Hope it will get things started for you and she sounds like such a nice midwife

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Lavo it would be totally awesome if the pains amounted to something. Yeah I'm due on the 29th technically but I put it at 28th there was no point arguing with the midwife over a day though

Lol teeny!

OMG... I'm off to pack a towel also.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Angel that's awesome!! =) take care walking in this heat. If it's as warm for you as it round my way.

I was examined at like 5am and was 3cm and then had a sweep after and she came that morning at 9 but I was having mild contractions from 3am

So hopefully that sweep will do it for you!

 

[Dory85]

Just back from weigh in with Georgia. She's 6lb 15oz now but has dropped an entire centile so they want to push her tongue tie referral through.

Good luck to all those ladies who might give birth over the next couple of days. I will be checking in as often as possible but my 3 year old is having surgery tomorrow so I expect to be pretty busy.

Angel - I'm sure my bishops score was 5 when I was overdue with my first and had a sweep. I went into labour less than 48 hours later. Fingers crossed.

 

[Lavochain]

Don't worry Teeny I'll probably still be here in 4 weeks with a giant baby growing inside of me.

I'm glad you got a good midwife Angel, mine has been supportive throughout and it does make the world of difference! Hopefully things will get going for you.

Dory- not got any advice obviously but I hope things all go well.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Dory- I have no clue about tounge ties etc but wanted to say good luck with everything.

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Yay for them agreeing to the sweep angel
