I agree with the others Rhi, definitely get checked at least.

Jalilma congratulations <3

AFM - There is no signal in my room so I can only use my phone outside, which is a pain. The pessary has yet to fall out and seems to be working. He has started engaging further and I'm now registering contractions on the monitor, they're uncomfortable but I'm coping with breathing for now. The midwife says that she may check me before 9pm, which is the 24hr mark as something seems to be progressing. I'm fairly certain they'll break my waters tonight, then put me on the drip and then who knows! I'm hoping that this is it now as I can't sleep in that bed, it is so awful that I considered the floor last night.

Well wishes to you all!
 
Congratulations Jaliilma!
Mum22ttc is it day 10 today? I think they weigh baby again, screen you for PND (except mine didn't bother) and go through safe sleeping etc. It's pretty boring really.

Georgia had her 6-8 week check. She isn't smiling and hasn't lost her startle reflex yet so has to be screened again in 4 weeks. The GP said most milestones are delayed in preemies but smiles don't tend to be too late. She's confident we'll have a smile very soon.

Injections were awful. She screamed way more than my other two. She had to have a reduced calpol dose too because she's little so I'm glad I asked about that (you ate supposed to give a dose before any temp now because the meningitis vaccine is a bit brutal). Just to warn the other mums with petite babies.
 
Teeny, sending positive vibes your way <3

Jalilma, congrats!

Lavo, hope things are progressing well.
 
Sounds good Lavo :) hopefully tonight/tomorrow you will have your baby ! Good luck :)

Afm- back from the midwives, big fat no, she wouldn't even look! told me all my pains were either something or nothing. THANKS :haha: oh well, also i feel quite put out that my sweep is booked for a home visit but they cannot give me a time at all. So i essentially have to wait in all day. Er riiiiight. Just something to add to my moan box lol. Sure hubby is loving me right now :haha:
 
Congratulations Jalilma she's a cutie.
Rhi I hope they give you a sweep
 
That's crazy they cannot even give you a time Rhi. I would be annoyed too.
 
Your MW sound down right awful Rhi. I'd be giving them a piece of my mind. We will all keep our FX'd that you don't need the sweep anyways. Come on baby girl. Xx

How's it going Lavo? Xx
 
okay, i'm now freaking out as i came home and looked at my growth chart thingy, and it says 37 weeks, the last three recordings all say 37 weeks! surely that isn't okay ?! fs :( something else to worry about. I have only been weighed once at my booking and once at like 34 weeks(i think) and i had put on 7lbs roughly(off the top of my head) i weighed myself at the weekend and i'm only like a lb heavier than when i was weighed at 34 weeks. Can that even be possible ?! should i be concerned or have i just been "loosing weight" if that makes any sense.
 
I don't get weighed Rhi. I haven't been weighed by my community midwife since booking thankfully. This late in the game, baby can move down into pelvis and so would look like static fundal height.
If you are concerned call the MAU. Xx
 
I know baby is fully engaged =) so that does probably explain why! Just ignore me haha. I panicked. I'm just feeling on edge. =) thank you !
 
Jalilma congratulations !!!! She's adorable!

I got a sneak preview of one of the photos from Juliette's newborn session on Sunday. She looks so much like my son here it's crazy!

Rhi - if I were in your position I would be ringing the hospital and be asking to go in to speak to the Supervisor of Midwives now. There seem to be so many failings in your maternity care. Can you really trust that she hasn't missed anything if she is consistently making stupid little mistakes?
I knokw in the UK weight isn't measured routinely because it doesn't indicate a great deal. That's why they measure fundal height.
 
Big hugs Rhi<3 your treatment has been appalling, hopefully it won't beich longer for you.

Not much news here. I'm definitely having contractions, they've given me codine however it hasn't done much. Baby boy is extremely happy in there however they're pretty sure that I'll have a baby within 24 hours... Scary! I'm hoping that they will break my waters and see how contractions go as my bp has stabilised, instead of going straight in for the drip. I'm in a lot of pain because he is currently back to back, little monkey being awkward to the end.

They're very alike Geralyn!
 
Yay for baby boy being here soon. I hope things speed up for you Lavo and as always wishing a safe delivery. Xx

Geralyn, I love those photos. They are very similar. :) xx

AFM, I'm glad I'm seeing a MW tomorrow. Baby girl keeps having quiet moments that worry me senseless. She is moving, but I'm hoping to have my mind put at ease tomorrow.

Hope all mummies and babies are well. I need a daily fix of all the lovely babies we have. More pictures please! Xx
 
Angel, what did they say about the weight gain? :(

Rhi, definitely contact someone if you're concerned! One of the obs stopped measuring fundal height after so many weeks. I questioned him about it, and he thought I was crazy but then measured me anyway. I was measuring one week behind but it was toward the very end when baby should have been engaged. I was worried at the time, but he shrugged it off.
 
Angel, sorry to hear Juni's weight gain wasn't better :hugs: what did the docs say?

Good luck Lavochain!

Rhi, agreeing with Dory!

Lovely pics Geralyn :)

My phone has started taking phots that are too big for BnB so I can't upload any for now :(
 
Good luck lavo! How exciting!

Angel what did they say re the weight gain?

Lovely newborn pictures geralyn. Henry wouldn't fall asleep for aages when we got his done and was so fussy and crying. The lady got a few shots but couldn't do a lot of stuff so I'm hoping when we get them there will be a few decent ones at least.
 
The midwife was very reassuring really, she was happy that she is gaining, if minimally, and happy with all her other signs (wet a d dirty nappies, content between feeds, no signs of dehydration etc). She wants to weigh her again on Sunday but wants a 100g gain by then. If not we'll be rereferred to an infant feeding specialist. We discussed giving formula if it makes me feel better about things but she didn't think it was neccesary at this point. She thinks my supply and positioning, latch etc are all good. She suggested breast compressions to keep her interested for longer.

Ugh. I just went through all of this with my son and wanted this time to be different so badly. I feel like I never got to enjoy these early days with Micah and they are being stolen again.
