I don't know why I didn't look for one of these sooner but I was hoping to join you ladies, I'm due Oct 13th with a little girl, my first child and OH's second daughter, his first is turning 4 here in a week.

Maze - I'm glad to hear your tests came back good, I wish I would have been on here before because I went through a gallbladder/liver/pancreas issue scare during my 30th week so I know it is a spooky/confusing experience. Hopefully you can get the swelling to go down though, I've found that freezing a damp washcloth and then wrapping it around the swollen area helps a lot since it's more pliable and comfortable than an ice pack and once it warms up you just toss it back in the freezer for a few minutes and you're good to go again =)

Well yesterday was just awful! :cry:

I put forward my birth plan and was categorically told:

No - I can't labour or deliver in the birthing unit because I'm high risk.
No - I can't use the pool as pain relief.
I MUST have constant monitoring to ensure safety - even though I requested intermittent.
I MUST go straight to hospital at the first sign of labour.
I CANNOT eat or drink (just sips of water) throughout labour!
I MUST have a cannula fitted straight away.

I pushed my points and got the consultant to take my plan to her senior but she came back and said no anyway! I just feel so deflated about the entire thing. I burst into tears 3 times and cried all the way home. :cry::cry:

I feel like MY body is THEIRS! From the moment I get into that hospital I can not longer make my own choices. She even tried to make me feel guilty saying I'm sure I'd never forgive myself if I went against policy and anything happened to baby! :growlmad::cry:

She even offered me elective sections at 39, 40 and 40+10!! Said all I had to do was call up and it could be arranged!?!

This has totally ruined the end of the pregnancy for me. I'm no longer excited - just scared and frustrated. I just want him out now. Then at least I can claim my body back!!! :cry::cry::cry::cry:

Welcome :flower:
 
Broodymrs - I think I would have to agree with your decision, I think I would rather spend 4 weeks worrying that 10 years when my son is born. You know best, you know inside what is right for you and bub xxx
 
Glad all is good with bub Lunarsea, what a relief for you!
 
Glad to hear that your scan went great, lunar! Women who are in their subsequent pregnancy tend to be a little more dilated the second time around than the first because of the previous delivery. I too was 1 cm dilated at 36 weeks but it def didn't mean anything :thumbup:

my spd is getting worse to the point I can barely walk now :nope: and to think that I have -/+ 4 weeks to go sucks but i am just trucking on i guess. hope everyone is doing ok wth their own aches and pains. Pregnancy is soooooooo much fun (sarcasm).
 
Welcome to the new mamas! :wave: :flower:

Sorry to everyone that is having a rough time of things. I hope everything turns out okay and that in the end everyone is happy and healthy. :hugs:

Glad that the scan went well, Lunarsea. It's always nice to have that confirmation for relief. :thumbup:
 
Hope you manage to take it easy ptr and that the next few weeks go quick for all of us!

Yeah, I've heard that a lot so I'm not worried about a preemie, but something about this pregnancy makes me think it won't last til 40 weeks.
Hopefully that's not just wishful thinking :haha:
Although, of course, I want baby to bake as long as she needs to.
 
Same to you broody!

I keep getting the feeling I am probably gonna go a little earlier with this one than I did with DD but I am just chalking it up to wishful thinking or attributed to the feelings that I am done being pregnant. So we shall see! So in the meanwhile I am definitely expecting to go 40 weeks.

I feel the same way... but maybe it is just wishful thinking :shrug:
 
I feel the same bout going early. With the pressure pf bub down there i dunno how he is gonna hold in another 5 weeks...
 
I have a lot of pressure too! It seems like right when I get up it is the worst. So happy it is the weekend and we can all take it easy!!! We can do it ladies, just a few more weeks.
 
Agreed. I'm going ABSOLUTELY NUTS. I'm done being pregnant. Am I full term yet? I'm ready to shake this baby loose.
 
Its not about the pressure or anything with me (because I had that with my first for a couple months before and I went almost 2 weeks late... lol) its more about just a feeling I get.... like I had a feeling deep down inside I was gonna be late with mason even thou I was hoping I would be early.
 
I'm the exact same way, June! It's not the pressure that I have from the bub or anything, it just this feeling I randomly get that I think, "I'm not gonna make to 40 weeks" and I don't know why I think that? With my DD I always thought I would go to 40 weeks, easily! But this one I'm not so convinced. But who knows maybe I'm just thinking and hoping :haha:
 
Baby Oscar Cullen Guy is here!! Can't really talk now girlies but just to let you know that we had a little boy born 5lbs8ozs 6th September at 35+1 weeks. He is doing really well and is in neonatal as he is needing a little bit of oxygen to help him but they are very happy with him and he is very happy and stable. I ended up with an emergency c section as he wasn't tolerating how close together my contractions were. Anyway will update you all with how he gets on.
Hope you are all feeling a bit better girlies sounds like some rough times at the minute I really hope you all hang in there!

Yay! So happy for you Twinkle! Congrats on the safe delivery of your boy. I hope your recovery goes well. He looks absolutely adorable and definitely worth all the trouble you've been having over the last month.
 
It's weird how it's just like an instinctual feeling, because that's exactly why I feel like she'll be here earlier than everyone expects.
I mentioned that to my doctor today and he said that they will be starting cervical checks at my next appointment on the 16th anyway when I will be exactly 36 weeks.
I'm kind of debating consenting to a check, but at the same time, I am curious.
Either way, dilation at this point could mean nothing, but still. Curious.
