June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[Teeny Weeny]

Gorgeous Beccy. Happy due date. Xx

My birth plan is a natural, unmedicated, delayed cord clamping, physiological 3rd stage kind of labour! With minimal intervention.
Or that is my hope for this labour. Xx

 

[AngelofTroy]

Karli - I am the same, 5 days until due date and nada. No plug, hardly any BH, nothing.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Excited to hear from squig. Hopefully she is feeling up to posting pics soon haha. =) no rush

36 Week App in an hour. Got to take both kids with me and I just can't be bothered. It's only a five min drive down the road but ughhhhh ahaha.

Right.... best go and pee in a pot.

 

[vaniilla]

I don't think not having any signs necessarily means too much, I had 0 clues of any kind with DS.


Rhi - good luck with your 36 week app, I had mine yesterday and they took over an hour going through the forms.

 

[Becyboo__x]

Good luck with your appointment Rhi


I agree no signs isn't always nothing I didn't with DS and one morning woke with my show and plug and I had him that night

This one I'm just getting plug loads and loads of it but not much else other then back ache

 

[tinkerbelle93]

So excited for you today squig! Can't wait to hear an update

DS was emergency forceps but I assumed they tried that first as the safer option as they were going to do a section if that didn't get him out. Although I'm glad they did work because that would have meant a section after they'd already done the episiotomy!

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Good luck with your appt rhi I hate having to my four year old to appointments although he was surprisingly good last time!

Happy due date beccy! Beautiful bump

My bump has dropped so much this morning.

 

[Starlight32]

Becy, happy due date!!!

Squig, camt wait to hear all about your baby girl's birth! enjoy this time!

Yikes, forceps sounds scary. I never heard about them until now...

I had some snot stuff come out this morning. Not sure if it was discharge or more plug.

 

[joeybrooks]

I had forceps as baby wouldn't come out and had to have episiotomy. Obviously I've only had one labour so no frame of reference but it wasn't that bad. I couldn't have had a section as my BP was too high for that and at the point I'd reached Id have let the Dr walk up there himself to bring the baby out. Of course it's not something I would have planned but I felt very little and the recovery was fine, although I know it's not like that for everyone.

 

[Squig34]

Disappointing news - no baby today; they can't deliver me because there are no cots available in the nursery should baby need one. Might be able to come back tomorrow; they'll ring me in the morning to let us know whether we can come in. No further news. My consultant knows the craic but there's nothing to be helped.

Happy due date Becy - hopefully you will have more luck today with baby's arrival than I did!

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Squig that's so crap! I'm really sorry it's great that they're being cautious but how frustrating for you

 

[mommyxofxone]

oh squig no that sucks!!!!!! i'm so sorry!


afm i'm still having bh since yesterday at noon, continued all day and night for me, nothing painful as i slept through them but one or two got me good when i was waking to pee. nothing close enough either but they're still there so i have some hope it'll be soon.

here's yesterday's bump at 37+4

[tinkerbelle93]

Ah no how frustrating for you squig fingers crossed for tomorrow!

Gorgeous bump mommy I have serious bump envy!

 

[mum22ttc#3]

Just a quick question, for the last nearly two weeks I've had itching on my belly but over the last few days it has become so bad, it's really red and there's scratches that have bleed all over. This is my 5th pregnancy and I'm not measuring any bigger than my others so I don't think it's just that I'm bigger as my chart isn't showing me to be.
I've tried googling but everything I read on oc says I would have itchy feet and hands too, my legs have been a little itchy but nothing to bad. Would you phone the midwife or does it just sound like normal itching what with skin stretching and maybe the warmer weather?

I had to be tested for oc with dd3 as I had the same kind of itching on my feet and hands instead but never did get the results back as I went into labour two days later when I was due the results.

Becy- happy due date.
Squig- sorry your date got pushed back, I'd be gutted thinking today was the day for it not to be.
Rhi- hope your appointment goes well.

 

[Squig34]

Mum I would phone - it may indeed be the warmer weather especially if you aren't moisturising the area enough, but if you're scratching enough to bleeds, then it sounds serious enough to me to call!

 

[GeralynB]

Aw Squig sorry about today. Hopefully you'll be able to go tomorrow

 

[Becyboo__x]

Sorry it's not happening today Squig but at least it won't be long

Nothing is likly going to happen with me I don't think

 

[ehjmorris]

Hopefully it will be tomorrow for you squig!

Mum, i would call if its that bad its making you bleed, cant hurt to call

 

[AngelofTroy]

Oh squig, that really sucks. Go have a lovely day, go out to eat ane get a massage or something. Hope they have room tomorrow.

Look up pupps I had that last pregnancy. Its uncomfortable but not harmful and totally cleared with birth.
