Lil' October Pumpkins 2013

[Sini]

Oooh hi ladies! Im stalking you all to see who delivers next and whats happening in your last weeks

Nila is now 3 days old and doing great!

I was worried having 2 kids to look after but our DS has been brilliant and adores his baby sister.

Im still feeling a bit distant from the traumatic birth experience and Ive got the impression from mw's and dr's that they will keep an eye on me for pnd etc..

Just wanted to say that I had terrible spd/pelvic girdle pain, but it stopped as soon as I delivered!

 

[girlnboots]

Glad you're doing well, Sini! Please take care!

I just slept for 2.5 hours, then OH came to bed. Sigh. It was very hard to fall asleep, but it seems like I slept better.

 

[broodymrs]

Hoping it's not too much longer low and kalon.

Glad u r doin ok sini.

I'm having pretty strong bh most nights now, and have started with snot like mucas. Still got a feeling it wil be a while yet tho.

One of my best friends gave birth to her little girl last night. 9lb14 just on gas and air, 6 days late. I'm so proud of her so just had to brag a little!

 

[KalonKiki]

Glad that you and your little girl and doing well, Sini.

Oh Low honey, I'm sorry this has been so frustrating. Anyone would have every right to go totally mad after 4 days of contractions with no progress. I hope things speed up and get easier for you soon.

I'm still getting bloody mucous, so I have my FXed that I'll give birth sometime in the next week or two!

Sounds like you've started losing your mucous plug, Broody. FXed that it goes more quickly for you than you think it will. Congrats to your friend!

 

[SisterRose]

Sorry to hear things stopped again Low- Hopefully baby will stop playing with you soon and decide it's time for the grand entrance. Doesn't sound like it will be much longer now

Sounds like everybody is progressing well, especially you ladies who're a few weeks ahead of us late October mummies. I had a consultant appointment today and as far as I could tell from what was said I won't be left to go to term and they're going to discuss when an induction will be best next week after my (possibly last) growth scan. :-o I think I'll wait until I hear what's going to happen but I think I'm going to put the babies little crib together next weekend ready just incase.

 

[Sbmack]

Sorry the contractions have stalled Low!!

Glad to hear you're doing well Sini! That's great your son is being such a good big brother!!

I get a ton of BH at night too, broody. I'm still at least a few weeks out though and I haven't noticed any plug. Yay to your friend. That's a big baby to have au natural.

 

[goddess25]

Kalon it totally sounds like your losing your mucous plug and having your show...i bleed after all my internal exams but if you don't its unlikely although your cervix is much more irritable. Fingers crossed you don't have to wait too long. This is the frustrating part i find when your just waiting for something to happen.

Low I can understand your frustration, it sounds awful. 4 days of contractions with nothing to show for it.

I just have a tonne of pelvic pain that has certainly increased, and he/she is continuously banging my cervix with its head which is uncomfortable and stops me walking if it happens for a few seconds. Lots of cramping and lower back pain but no contractions and I have not lost any plug yet.

 

[lulu83]

Lots of cramping here. Off and on contractions..probably from dehydration. I've been super nauseous and puked twice today..also have a terrible headache. Overall, I feel like ass. I was up at least once an hour last night due to cramping pain, having to pee or my 14 month olds molar pain. Poor girl wouldn't go down until 10:30 and fussed a but hourly, thankfully I only had to go into her room once to soothe her, but I was still awake every time she whimpered. Then, this morning I had to wake her up to go get her shots..poor girl she was sick at her 1year well child, so we had to wait for shots..now she gets them while her molars are coming in I'm so tired, all I want to do is sleep, but we all know how impossible that can be when this far along!

Part of me is looking forward to a little "break" while in the hospital when this baby comes. Newborns sleep a lot, so I'm hoping I can too while I'm there! Wishful thinking, I know..with drs and nurses constantly coming in...but a girl can dream, right?? I'm just so tired..

Whine fest over! I should be enjoying my last days/weeks as a family of 3

 

[tx614]

I haven't lost my plug yet either. Also, I feel like she has been quiet today and yesterday. Anyone else having a quiet baby at this time?

 

[Girly922]

Sorry to hear things slowed down again low.

And great to hear you're all doing well sini.

Ladies who are losing/have lost their plug, what is it like? I've been having some thick gloopy discharge occasionally. Just small amounts. Very snot like but slimier than most of the descriptions I can find. Wondering if its just discharge or whether it could be small amounts of my plug? No pink tinges but I understand that you can lose small amounts overtime, and not everyone has a bloody show. Or is it just normal late pregnancy discharge?

 

[Murmers0110]

Sooo guess who gets to see her baby next wed?! Thats right! This girl! Im so excited. Havnt had a scan since week 18. I had my swab done today and I also got checked for the first time. I am zero straight across the board. Woohoo!

 

[goddess25]

Both times for me it was fairly large pieces of tissue brown and red tinged and after that there was blood stained mucous when I wiped.

 

[Junebugs]

YAY thats exciting murmurs.. are you being induced or just having an ultrasound done???

It can be normal to lose bits of you mucus plug thoughout your pregnancy and it is different then "a bloody show" Like goddess said there is no second guessing that... its lots of brown/red blood mixed into your mucus. What your seeing could be bits of your plug or just some discharge

 

[Murmers0110]

No just an ultra sound. I haven't had one since week 18. They are checking her position. Im hoping to see her girly bits too. I havnt had a scan since the anatomy scan.

 

[Junebugs]

aww thats great! You must be so happy

 

[goddess25]

Its always exciting to have another ultrasound. Hope she is in a good position for you.

 

[SisterRose]

Yay for seeing baby again Murmurs! Will be nice to have another peek at the girly bits too just for confirmation. I've asked 5 times now and every time still girl so phew!


Does anyone else keep on dreaming that their waters break? I've had about 5 dreams in a week that they have in random places!

 

[SisterRose]

Annnnnnnnnnndddddd!!!! we're coming up to more or less the last week on September :-o I'm super excited to be in October

 

[girlnboots]

I dream about labor in general. I have so many aches and pains in my bump, hips, and back throughout the night, so I'll wake up convinced I was in labor. Nope, just sciatica.

I can't wait to see my baby girl's face.

 

[PaiytonsMummy]

Yey for scan murmers

Sisterrose, i keep imagining my waters breaking on the school walk with my daughter. It's a 15 minute walk which i do on my own, so i have my phone in my hand all the time, especially with my DS being early.
I've also been having this recurring dream where i give birth on my mother's bathroom floor, and mum helps to deliver baby. I hate dreams when pregnant they feel so real.
