June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[GeralynB]

Baby is still breech. She's measuring 8 lbs. The sono tech said the fluid is normal but there's not as much being this far along and baby being as big as she is so it will take her a great effort to flip at this point. It's still possible but I'm now mentally preparing for a c section. I had the midwife walk me through step by step what the section would be like. I also told her that I wanted to save my placenta to have it encapsulated and that I wanted my tubes tied at the same time. She said both wouldn't be a problem. My blood pressure was normal today so I guess it was a little high last week because I was stressed talking about her being breech. They also did the GBS test today. I have another appointment next Friday. So unless baby decides differently her birthday will be June 17...2 weeks from today.

Starlight - glad to hear you're well despite having problems with sleep, are you using a pillow to take some of the weight of bump? mother nature is cruel! you think we'd be able to get lots of sleep/sleep whilst we still can. I have to stay up till midnight every day, if I got to bed any earlier my hips don't let me sleep past 5

anyone else feel like kicking their oh who always looks so comfy and asleep? I feel like investing in a mild cattle prod to jolt him every time I wake up with cramps.

Geralyn - I'm sorry she hasn't turned, it's good you have a date for section though as it gives you something to focus on and look forward to meeting your lo.

Vanilla I'm feeling like I wouldn't mind that cattle prod right now

Geralyn I'm sorry baby hasn't turned I'm sorry the section is looking more likely but I'm really glad you can still have your placenta. Also great news on getting the tubes tied - saves a job later on lol

Good luck! I hope this is it for you

 

[mommyxofxone]

Nope. Sent home after no change. But contractions still there

 

[ehjmorris]

Aw damn! Hopefully it starts showing some signs of changing

 

[Tinky_82]

Sorry mommy I was all excited to get the the end of the thread when I read your update - hopefully it will progress quickly now for you.

 

[AngelofTroy]

Thay sucks mommy, still 3cm and contrsctions sounds like you aren't far off!

 

[Dory85]

Don't be down heartened Mommy. One more centimetre and it's officially active labour. You can do this.

Geralyn, I think it's good that you are mentally preparing for a section now just in case. I will keep my fingers crossed that baby turns though. My friends baby turned late on and she remembers the exact time it happened.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Nope. Sent home after no change. But contractions still there

It's promising though =) it will be soon !! Good luck

FX things move again & quickly Mommy!

Great to read your update on Georgia, Pixie.

I hope baby turns Geralyn, because I really understand wanting a natural birth, but actually a section isn't so bad if it's necessary - i'm a little stiff today rather than actually sore.

 

[AngelofTroy]

Suddenly reaslised we are less ready than I thought! Just had to find and wash the moses basket sheets and swaddle blankets. Her room is looking ready now though, just need to make space in our room for while she is in with us.

 

[vaniilla]

Mommy - you're so close! I hope things have picked up by now and you're in hospital having your lo. Have you tried expressing/nipple stimulation? it's supposed to be good for getting things going.

Can anyone advise me on plug more

I had that big bit few days ago with browny coloured tinge ... But nothing came of that.. Today I've had more browny coloured stuff but not like a big chunk of anything just when I wiped?

I feel I'm going insane I wish I remembered more with DS even though it can go differently anyway but all I remember is having a show and contractions few hours later then he was here that night ..

I'm not thinking this is anything but it's strange obviously to be happening in bits with the tinged colour it was like scanty colour brown mixed with the normal can colour

 

[mommyxofxone]

nothing ladies i tried the nip stim yesterday didn't work, and i'm still here. i've got nothing.

 

[Becyboo__x]

I had to go food shopping .. Thought might of helped walking abit anyway ..

But not having anything now feel achey but still having just browny coloured plug? Does that mean anything

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Ahh that sounded so promising mommy hope things pick up again! Doesn't sound like it will be long.

I'm still in the process of organising and preparing everything angel, getting the remainder of the clothes and bedding washed today!

Beccy I'm really not sure what it could mean, but fx for you!

I'm just so drained and sleepy despite a lovely lay in and coffee. I hope it's just a pregnancy thing as there's no way ill be able to manage a newborn whilst feeling this drained and exhausted!

Breastfeeding mummies do you take the pregnacare breastfeeding vitamins? Not sure whether it's worth ordering some. X

 

[Dory85]

I don't take pregnacare vitamins but guidelines recommend all breastfeeding mothers should take a vitamin d supplement. We get most of it from sunlight naturally but the cloud cover is too great in the uk and it's difficult for our bodies to absorb from food.
