Lil' October Pumpkins 2013

Congrats kalon!! Ouch low sounds painful. I struggle to get up but it is mainly from hip pain and pain in the top of my bump due to having no muscles!

I think this is how engagement works: if 1/5 or 2/5 of your baby's head is in pelvis you are not engaged. It should say in your notes 5/5 or 4/5 engaged. Once baby's head gets to 3/5 in pelvis then i think you are 3/5 engaged, 4/5 in pelvis 2/5 engaged 5/5 in pelvis 1/5 engaged. I think anyway. I know my notes for a few weeks have said 4/5 engaged but there is not much of the head in the pelvis. It's very confusing!

Now that has just totally confused me broody! Lol.

 

[Junebugs]

Low- yes I have had that pain many times and I understand what you mean
.. its almost so painful you feel like you want to cry

 

[ptr]

thanks, Low, I hope things get moving for you as well!!! and yep, have had that pain - it only seems to happen at night when i go to pee and my bladder is full so it's a whole mess of nerves backfiring down there pretty sure it's how the baby sits on them too

 

[broodymrs]

I need this baby out!! Just had_to go back to drs for yet another blood test as my liver function test came back with an exclamation mark. I'm tempted to google but seeing the mw tomoz and the new results should be back then so i know i should just speak to her. With the itching i've had i'm just a bit concerned it might be oc. Oh well add it to the list! He'll hopefully be here soon.

Hello everyone! I have been gone for awhile but I have been reading all your updates in my email! I'm so happy for everyone who's baby has already arrived! How exciting! A big congrats to all the new mommys!!! I'm still due on October 7 and I lost my mucus plug about a week ago. They sent me to get my weight scan at the hospital and at 36 weeks my boy was coming in at 6.9 pounds give or take a pound. I think he has dropped cause I don't have heartburn anymore but he is still pretty high in my stomach.

I woke up two days ago with the worst flu/ cold ever. My ears are infected my nose is stuffy and my throat is killing me and my head hurts. Needless to say being 8.5 months pregnant and sick is the worst thing ever. I just want to go back to being 8.5 months pregnant, never thought I'd say that!

I would like to join the Facebook group but do not know who's name I should look up to be added? Could someone help me?

Hope everyone has a great last few weeks and I'm excited to see more baby pictures to come! It makes this whole journey worth it and I'm so excited and happy for everyone!!

Low - Still sending lots of labour dust

Broody - Can't be much longer now!

Had another growth scan today, baby is estimated 5lb 5oz still growing below 10th centile but following the same line of growth. I'm booked in for induction on the 10th October so only 14 days until I get to meet our second beautiful daughter!

 

[broodymrs]

That's great that you have a date sis rose! Exciting!

 

[angel2010]

Holy Cow SisterRose! I just posted in the small baby thread. We have the same scheduled date!

I had a growth scan and check today. The tech measured her 2.5 weeks behind, but that is how she has done it the whole time. She estimated her weight to be 4lbs 14oz. But I expect her to be a bit more because my dr has measured her bigger than the tech before. Also they measured Carter smaller than he was too.
They did a gbs swab and checked me too. I was a fingertip dilated, 50% but still firm. He said that if I haven't went into labor on my own and my cervix is favorable he will try a gentle induction with low dose pitocin on Oct 10th. He says if all the biophysical profiles are good, but my cervix hadn't changed much that he may let me go one extra week past the 10th. But very likely, I will have a baby by the 11th.
Also, while I was on the monitor today I had 7 contractions all about 3 minutes apart. The were small though, just felt like a small cramp.
I am very crampy now after the check though.

Woke up at 4am feeling like poo. Both kids have colds now I have it too. I hope it doesn't stay long. I can't bear the thought of going into labour feeling this way would be horrible.

 

[angel2010]

Hope you feel better Goddess.

 

[SisterRose]

:O how weird angel, but exciting! I wonder if our babies will weigh similar at birth?

Feel better soon goddess x

 

[Junebugs]

I feel like I am gonna be the last one to have my baby ... lol oh well!! Congrats girls! Thats great news! I can't wait to see your LOs!

 

[POSD17]

Oh and to explain why I've been Mia so much has happened, we bought out first home, got married, and did a ton of renovations On the house, so needless to say I've been too busy for my own good. My brother also got married but I missed his wedding cause it was last weekend and it was 12 hrs away and noone would let us drive down there . Talk about bad timing!
Also
Congrats keely!! So happy for you!!! Congrats Maze! And Lindss! And anyone else that I missed congrats!


I did come up positive for group b strep has anyone else? A little worried about the penicillin in the iv my dr said its burns. Hopefully everything will be okay!

 

[Junebugs]

Wow POSD17 you have been busy!!!! Congrats on the marriage and house!!!

Sorry to hear your GBS screen came back positive, mine is next week and i am really dreading it because i am allergic to penicillin so i will have to use a stronger medication if it comes back positive.... i really hope it doesnt. I have had some IV meds and yes it might burn a bit but compaired to the pain of labour its nothing

 

[ptr]

I know another chick in here tested positive for GBS but I can't remember who exactly.

 

[Junebugs]

I think it was kalon???

 

[ptr]

Yeah I was thinkin kalonkiki too!

Feel better soon goddess x

The measurements they gave you are bigger than mine, but I am hoping mine is actually closer to yours right now.
