June Bundles of Joy - 2016

Angel - sounds like things are going again :dust: hopefully today is your day!



AFM - I can't remember what movements are supposed to be like at 37 weeks? I've had a big reduction in movement the last 2/3 days, I'm still getting the odd wriggle and I felt a small movement earlier after poking my bump for ages but I don't know if I should be worried?
 
Vaniilla it's probably fine but I'd call just to check. My little one has one or two quiet days and then goes nuts but this has always been his pattern.
Angel glad things are going again - come on baby!
 
o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o00o0o angel! sounds promising! i hope this is it for you!!!!!!


I was able to start timing my bh again last night, and def woke to a few during the night, and had a few this am. i also had some brown plug tinged with what looked like a really thin string of blood in it, i don't know if it qualifies as 'show' but it was there. it didn't look like the disgusting show i had with dd lol

so just hanging out and waiting! next appt is this am at 1115, i will try to update right after. can't wait to see if i've made any progress. you know if i actually had gone into labor last week instead of it being false like it was, baby would be a week old tomorrow. But noooooo he decided to stay in instead the little turd!
 
Little turd :haha:

Vanilla it's always worth getting checked out. Has she perked up at all?

Angel I'm so glad things have picked up again :dance: how're you feeling?

Not really, her movements have been nowhere to be seen since around 10 this morning. I'm so anxious to call though, I still can't get the last call with them out of my head.
 
Definitely call! Didn't you call delivery last time? Can't you call the day unit it?

Don't let them put you off hun, you're not making a fuss, you're concerned about your daughter :hugs: or (as I've always done) get your dh to call :haha:
 
Surgery went well and we're home already (we had to be in the ward at 7am). I survived being away from Georgia for 7 hours, as did she and my husband. It's a massive reassurance as my eldest wouldn't take a bottle and my middle couldn't use one effectively because of his tongue tie. When I got home she was having sleepy snuggles.

Boo, Georgia grunts like an old man so loudly that it keeps us awake. Much worse than the cute guinea pig noises she makes during the day.

Good luck to everyone in labour :-O

Does anyone who has given birth have a baby with a spotty face? Georgia has has it really mildly for about 4 days but is like a teenager today!
 
Dory - yep! It's not cute at all :haha: I'm a picker as well and it kills me to not mess with them lol

We gave G a bottle last night too - she had 2.5 oz and then slept for 4 hours! Dory how many oz does Georgia have? I thought she'd have more than that but she must have been full because she usually gets up every 2 hrs in the night
 
Ohhh baby acne ! My oldest had that. Poor fella had it all. Baby acne then the worst cradle cap I had ever seen (the yellow scabbing type Ughhh) then he got eczema and that's slowly easing up at last (he will be 8 next week). But yeah If it's only little white dots I think that's milk spots ? That's what my mum calls um anyways lol. Poor babies. Lol
 
Ooh sounds promising angel!

4 more days until I'm induced really hope baby decides to come beforehand!

Call the day unit/fetal health ?

She had 2 bottles of ebm while I was gone (7 hours and I fed before I left). First one was 3 oz and the second was 4oz. If they're mostly bf then their tummies will hold less than bottle fed. There's a calculation on Kellymom for working out how much to give. I used the scientific calculation of 'a bit more than she had in SCBU because she's bigger now). Hubby said she was satisfied and slept after so that's reassuring. I'm hoping to run another half marathon with my Dad next year before he packs up running so at the back of my mind I'm aware I should be able to run for an hour on an evening eventually.
 
Very painful now but not that close, between 15-20/minutes apart at the moment and hospital wants me to be having 2 in 10 minutes befire I go in. Feel like I will be in labour forever. :(
 
I've spoken to the labour ward and the main midwife's office before which had the rude staff, I might call DAU but I'm worried they'll turn me away and I'm also worried they'll tell me to go in as I'd have to take DS with me. :dohh:

Angel - I hope they get closer soon for you, are you on the birthing ball?
 
Angel I'm so so excited for you! Vanilla I would never say not to ring but I just want to reassure you that in the days leading up to Poppy being born, her movements slowed right down. Xx
 
I have been on and off my ball, and pacing and using my breast pump... Nothing is helping speed it up. The only thing that helped temporarily was sleep! I had a 15 minute nap and then was woken by the strongest contraction yet and then had several close togwther but then they spaced out again. I don't know what is going on anymore.
 
I'm sure you will have your baby by tomorrow :) good luck ! :hugs:
 
Vanilla any pick up with the movements?

Sounds frustrating angel but I agree with rhi and think you'll have baby by tomorrow! X
 
Not much change here, felt what I thought was a wriggle earlier, I'm having horrible braxton hicks though and if I go in now they'll keep me for hours and hours again monitoring them just to watch them lead to nowhere :dohh:

Angel - I agree with the other ladies that you'll probably have your baby by the end of today. Hang in there, you're doing great.
