[SisterRose]

hope it's soon low, sounds awful having to put up with that for so long.

 

[Sini]

Good luck Kalon and congrats lindss!! Exciting!

How are you ladies getting in? Nearly October!!!

 

[Murmers0110]

So this is for all of you who know that your baby has turned and is head down. Where do you feel the hiccups? They seem to always be low and to the left for me. Like at the base of my bump. We still aren't sure if she has turned or not. We are having a scan to find out tomorrow though I sure hope she has! Im so fn stoked fkr this scan! Infeel like its christmas!

 

[ptr]

Murmers, she definitely turned and is head down that's for sure!

 

[ptr]

I got my dr appt this morning, will be having a cervix check and we will then find out more info ... I'm still losing plug and it's increasing a little in amounts as well. If I had to guess I would guess about 3 cm dilated now? I will be back on to update after the appt!

 

[Junebugs]

Murmers I would say your little girl head down now

 

[broodymrs]

Good luck ptr. Can't really help murmers as even thought Dylan is head down he doesn't seem to have hiccups that often. I've also got an anterior placenta so that affects where I feel things.

Had my acupuncture yesterday, one of the things she did was soften my cervix. Soon after I left I felt Dylan drop, although he doesn't look that much further down but can now get a hand under my boobs! Also my BH have totally stopped but apparently this is a good sign (?) and lots of mucas today. Really hope she's set me up well for the sweep. She says if I've not had him next Monday she will do an induction, although this is acupuncture not a medical induction so not guaranteed. I def feel like things are happening though. I've also been in serious nesting mode today!

Definitely sounds like baby's head down murmers! That's exactly where I feel hiccups. Right in my left hip and I know baby is head down laying along my left side and 1/5 engaged.

Congrats linds!

Hope to hear from kalon with some good news soon.

Sounds very promising ptr!!

 

[SisterRose]

I know they do the whole 1/5 2/5 engagement thing different in different places. Is 1/5 the least engaged or fully engaged there girly?

 

[Girly922]

She didn't say which way. She just said that only a small amount of baby's head is now palpable so I'm not fully engaged yet. Will have to see what it is at my next appt. Didnt know they scaled it differently in different places.

 

[girlnboots]

Marin is head down and engaged and I still feel her hiccups in random places from my butt to my side/ribs. I think it just depends.

We're having a "walk back in time" festival with reinactments and booths and historical figures and stuff this weekend, so we'll be heading there for some major walking time!

I was researching effacement/dilation and apparently effacement is more important in early labor. So that's just a neat tidbit, I guess.

Just saw on fb that Keely - kalonkiki had her baby on the 23rd. He's a tiny little thing just over 5lb, but doing just fine. Pics were to follow.

 

[Hotbump]

Im 37weeks today! i keep forgettingto change my ticker.

 

[lady1985]

Im confused about this engagement thing too on my notes from yesterdays appointment it says 4/5the but doc said not fully engaged ?!

 

[Girly922]

Does it say 4/5 engaged or 4/5 palpable? I think that's how they work it out.

 

[lady1985]

Just has 4/5! I think engagement is from 3/5ths

 

[ptr]

I'm *still* 2 cm and 80% effaced, no change from last week Surprisingly I'm not upset about it, I kinda figured that nothing was changing cuz I was going on day 5 of plug loss (i even lost a chunk in the pee cup and I wasn't going to dig it out... so left it in there and warned my nurse to expect it... )

I have an appt on September 30th at 11 am... and that might very well be my last appt as I am going to take my induction date of October 1st (providing they have room for me to go in).

Congrats Kalonkiki!!! Can't wait to read the birth story and see pictures!

 

[goddess25]

I am super surprised ptr. If you haven't gone before then a week today at least you know you have a date for induction.

 

[KalonKiki]

Yes, I did have my baby on the 23rd. I'll post my birth story and some pictures after I finally get home from the hospital. I should be going home sometime on Thursday.

 

[Lownthwaite]

Congratulations Kalon

I hope things get moving along for you very soon ptr.

I was in pain last night with either babys position or SPD or a bit of both There was a constant pain on the right side where my leg meets my groin - wasn't nice.

I woke up a few times to pee in the night and at one point I couldn't get up - the pain in my hips was bad but also when I moved I was have VERY sharp cervical pain! Has anyone else experienced this!? I've had the sharp, short shocks in the cervix before but this pain was definatly movement related. It literally felt like when I moved baby was scraping his fingernails along my cervix! I managed to get up and went to the the toilet but it was so painful, it made me freeze and draw air in through my teeth!!
