June Bundles of Joy - 2016

Forums New posts
I've been having so many painful tightenings this evening. One caught me off guard when I was on my feet and I was doubled over with pain. They are coming and going and some sorer than others. Along with the tightenings it feels like baby is moving and also there is a lot of pressure in my back and bum.

I have a midwife appointment tomorrow so provided it doesn't get any worse I'll see what she thinks. I didn't go into natural labour last time so I've no idea what to be watching for.
 
So far just consistently inconsistent. Lol. Losing bits of plug though. That's all that seems to be happening. Just bh contractions randomly. But having the tail bone pain and sometimes menstrual cramping.
 
My birth plan ; deliver baby

Hahah. I'm easy I just go with the flow. Idealy I want a "natural" birth but I know what will be will be =) I want delayed clamping although I get the impression that they do that as standard now ? And I won't allow turning forceps but that's really it. I'm not sure what else in supposed to decide ? I just tell my husband what I want rather than write it down =)
 
Best of luck tomorrow Squig!

I've never know this baby to be so active! I posted videos on fb a few times and everyone is shocked on how much she moves :haha: hand or foot is constantly pushing and going across my belly the back and bum is so painful I can literally feel her spine at some points :rofl:

Can't believe it's D day tomorrow! Makes me nervous but excited just hope she comes not too late!
 
Squig - hope everything goes to plan today I can't wait to see photos and will be thinking of you. Fingers crossed you don't need to wait around for too long.
 
Wishing you all the luck and love in the world today Squig as you meet your take home rainbow baby <3 xxx
 
I never made a birth plan as I didn't have chance but seeing as I was supposed to be having a planned section all I wanted was skin to skin. And I DIDNT want delayed cord clamping purely because my babies always suffer with jaundice and it increases chances of jaundice (might not bother some people at all!). In the end I got an extremely rapid normal delivery with like an hour of skin to skin and they delayed clamping the cord for ages which I didn't notice as I was too shocked lol. Anyway he was destined for jaundice due to prematurity :(

Rhi I can understand why you wouldn't want keillands forceps and the chances of you needing them are minuscule seeing as you've had two normal births before :) But if you got to fully and she was the wrong way would you rather a section?? I only ask as I've had two fully dilated sections and they're not fun!
 
Thinking of you today squig :hugs: come back and update us when you can. Enjoy every second with your precious little girl
 
Yay becy!!! Gorgeous bump!!

Geralyn I hope you avoid a section but if you have one on 17th that was Arthurs original due date!
 
I pondered about delayed cord clamping but with 2 previously jaundiced babies (born at term) I really wasn't sure. In the end they milked the cord because there wasn't time to wait for delayed clamping anyway and she still had crazy jaundice.

The only other things I've had on my birth plan previously were to encourage an active birth which I didn't get due to decels, IVT and constant monitoring but it wasn't an issue because it was another quick labour. I also had documented that I wanted to avoid epidural/spinal unless clinically indicated.

Ermm. I'm not really sure tbh. I have always had them on my no no no list in my head since before my first. Like you said I think the chances now are slim of having them but my understanding is that they are only used before a baby enters the birth canal? And that a C-section is safer. I'm sure when I first looked into them I read that there was alot of places they were banned. Obviously though in the heat of the moment you will do anything to save a stuck baby and I would just have to put my trust in the people with actual qualifications :haha: not my internet history lol. They do terrify me. I think it's only worse now as I have never even torn so I think I would totally freak out if they wanted to cut me to use them.
 
Squig - I hope today goes really well and smoothly :hugs::dust:

Becy - Happy due date! :D

Geralyn - hopefully you won't need the c-section and baby will turn on their own but it's good to have an end date if they don't :hugs:

:ignore: eeeek forceps, I'm still terrified when I think they had to use them with ds.


Anyone else think this half term went too quickly? the dreaded school run on is making me have nightmares. :wine:
 
This is the first time i have written any sort of birth plan. It just says epidural as early as possible, and no forceps. I would rather have a section.

I am pretty much a 'go with the flow'er' though, and as much as i want to be as pain free as possible, im going in there knowing babies do what they want and thats ok too.

Squig so excited for you, cant wait to hear updates. Hope everything goes smoothly.

Is anyone else close to DD and no signs at all. I have no plug, no pains, nothing at all.
