June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[GeralynB]

That's what scares me about having to have a section. I felt fine after my son's delivery. I wasn't in any pain at all really. And this time I'll have 2 babies to look after

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Teeney that bump puts mine to shame! Wowza =) love it!

SOrry geralyn no idea about C-section's at all. When will they give u a section date if she hasn't turned ?

 

[Starlight32]

Had my cervix checked today. Still at 2cm. Now 70% effaced. Doesn't seem like much progress.

Mommyx, I must have went through so many tp rolls this weekend! I have to pee a lot.

Geralyn, I really hope baby flips.

Lovely pictures everyone!

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Beautiful picture pixie! Your DS looks so proud and happy Making me so excited to see my 4yo as a big brother!

Lovely bumps teeny and Rhi x

My bump is tiny again, it was last time too! Everybody is shocked when I say how far I am, I think I only look about 5 months along. I love baby bumps though and think big bumps look lovely! x

 

[GeralynB]

Just spoke to my midwife and they are scheduling me for a c section at 39 weeks. So if baby doesn't turn she'll be here in 2 weeks

 

[Tinky_82]

Rhi the bra lady drives me nuts!
Squig - I'm so excited for you.
Pixie that's a beautiful photo
Beautiful bump teeny - I can't post a pic of mine as it says wrong format!

I just got back from assessment unit - I tripped and fell over at work. I mostly hit my arm but midwifes said I should come in to be checked. All fine on the ctg. I'll be having words with the people who left the concrete block in a footpath though!

 

[Boo44]

Pixie such a gorgeous picture! Georgia looks really big and not jaundiced at all! I'm jealous I think Arthur still looks tiny and yellow tinged lol

Rhi Alice is a lovely name

Teeny I like all your names!

Ooh becy what have you decided?

Squig I can't wait to hear your news and name on Thursday

 

[Boo44]

Geralyn I healed quite quickly after my first section I was driving by 4 weeks and my scar healed quickly. I do remember finding it very painful to do anything using My abdominal muscles though, especially turning over in bed was really bad! My second was a crash section under general anaesthetic and I found it so sore afterwards it took me a good few weeks to feel back to normal.

After my normal delivery I've felt extremely sore down below and found it very painful to sit or even stand for very long for about 10 days, just due to a very heavy dragging feeling! Then all of a sudden my stitches seemed to heal and now I feel completely normal! So a much quicker recovery

 

[Squig34]

Great bump Teeny!

Cute pic Pixie Xander looks like you I think; you have the same smile. Proud big brother

Geralyn, good to know you have a date but hopefully baby will still decide to turn in the next fortnight!

My feet & ankles are so swollen tonight. I'm not concerned about pre-eclampsia cos with all the monitoring, i've had my BP taken every day for a week, including this morning, but it seems all of a sudden when we've had hot weather for a while

 

[AngelofTroy]

What a lovely photo Pixie!

I have felt really down and frustrated today as i am 39 weeks now and back when they thought she was breech we were told we would probably have her now. I had 31st in my phone as possible c section date. I was scared of a c section at the time but now i am so fed up and i coukd still have 3 weeks to go.

 

[Becyboo__x]

Happy 39 weeks Angel

Boo were keeping it quiet until she's here doubt many will like it either but I've come to the conclusion everyone has their own opinion

 

[Becyboo__x]

I have midwife appointment tomorrow don't see the point really as she's likely going to do same as normal even though she mentioned doing a sweep I still don't know why she has said that not complaining but just don't make sense being not my first etc.

Not much can be done at this stage either it's just waiting not sure if she will book another appointment aswell or sort an induction date tomorrow with DS it was booked at 40 weeks for 12 days over but don't know if it's different after 1st

 

[Starlight32]

Tinky, so glad you're ok! Falls are scary!

 

[vaniilla]

Tink - I'm glad you're okay

Angel - happy 39 weeks!

Pixie - that's a beautiful photo

Great bump teeny!

Becy - I hope your midwife appointment goes well


That stupid bra advert is driving me bonkers, they have the opposite effect, I will now go out of my way to avoid brand since they want to spam me so much!!


AFM - I'm awake at this hour (5am for non UK ladies) as I'm having painful braxton hicks, so frustrating so I've come downstairs so I'm not tempted to wake DH up

 

[AngelofTroy]

June!!!!!

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Blimey!!! I have about as much chance of a July baby as a June one technically but even so. Yay!!!

The bra lady must have heard us she has gone for me.

Vanilla how are you feeling now? I get Braxton Hicks most evenings atm. With some dull period type pains. It's such a tease.

Becy you are right about names you can't please everyone. I wish I was having a 40 week app so that I could push to have my induction booked. I know that seems pushy but with my last baby they didn't book it until 41 + and the hospital was so busy I ended up having to wait until 42+1 to have my baby (I'm sure I have moaned on about this before haha) it's a real sore spot for me still. They Even booked me in for 40+13 (which is late anyways) realised they had overbooked. Made me stand around (literally) until 2 pm (I arrived at 8) and sent me away.
=(

The first thing I thought when I woke this morning was yes it's June lol 19 days to go but it still feels so long away. I've been told a couple of times this week by people that they think I'm really low so will go soon, one was a midwife too so kind of got my hopes up for a few days until I realised that realistically I'm probably gonna follow pattern and go overdue.

We have a name now although it took until about 35 weeks to finally settle on it, we was going to use it for both dd3 and 4 so it kind of feels more right than the other name we was considering. Saying that though if OH let me I would change to something totally different, it's that we actually only agree on the two names.
Boys names have been so much harder than girls.

 

[Becyboo__x]

I've just lost literally all my plug? A huge clump of it and I mean huge .. It must be majority of it ..

Is this good? Or can it come away fully anyway obviously wont grow back at this point.. With my son it came out and I had a show and that was that
I swear I'm dilating aswell going to ask midwife about it later but this is the most plug I've ever saw on the tissue just a big clump of it like palm of my hand clump?

 

[ehjmorris]

Ooh i hope this is the start of things for you Becyboo

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Beccy, that is so exciting. Our first labour watch of June. xx

I can actually say I will have baby this month. Finally. I just wish it wasn't going so slowly now! Xx
