Lil' October Pumpkins 2013

[SisterRose]

Congrats on another pumpkin born!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes, had another BP check and all was okay with that. Now I'm a tad worried about movements, are you all still getting strong movements towards the later stages? I wish I could remember a little better with DD, but am sure she had strong movements to the end where my stomach would move LOTS from side to side. Since Sunday(ish) this baby is still moving...enough for me not to be too concerned or go to the hospital as I'm feeling consistent movements, not as many as before but definite movements. They're just very weak, and just tiny little prods and pokes which isn't consistent with how they have been in the weeks before now when she's been really giving a few good jabs, pokes where my tummy would jump or bits would really stick out. Everything has just slowed right down. I was told to go in if movements reduce because of the fact baby is small and having reduced growth but they havent stopped, just changed so i dunno I have another consultant appointment tomorrow and a doppler scan to check the placental function. This morning she wasnt moving at all when I woke up, lay for a bit and nothing. She's given a few tiny little prods/flutters after breakfast though but it's almost like what movements feel like early on when you first start feeling them, really small and fluttery and it's been like this for over two days now

Drink an icy cold drink sisterose - works for me everytime! xx

 

[SisterRose]

I've been drinking ice cold lemonade for days, still only the same small movements. I just don't know what to do because she IS moving, and it's been quite regular. It's just not been consistent with how she's been moving before the last few days so I dunno. I rang in the MAU anyway so Im about to go have a check over and listen on the monitor just to make sure. Im sure all is most likely well but I'd rather be safe than sorry at this stage.

They asked on the phone when my last big kick was, and that was deff sunday when my stomach jumped when she punched out or twitched or something and that's the last time Ive had any movement like that other than small nudges and flutters

Good luck sisterrose, let us know how you get on.

This might sound like a silly question so I'm sorry in advance. I think I lost a big chunk of my plug this morning. It was clear-ish and huge on the paper. But had no pink tinges or anything. So, could it still regenerate? I've lost small amounts over the past few weeks but nothing this size. Don't want to get my hopes up any if its just going to regenerate and I'm still going to be here in 4 weeks time.

Sister, mine does that sometimes. She tends to spend half her time facing sidewise and the other half facing my back, so I can't feel her. I think when she's facing my back, she's kicking my placenta. Though now that she's really dropped/engaged, I feel her a whole lot down by my pelvis now.

Girly, I'm slowly learning that nothing means anything anymore, haha. I thought the bloody show was a sure thing, but that's obviously not true for some of the ladies in here. I've been losing clear plug for a week or so now, and I haven't had any contractions or anything, but I'm still minimally dilated. I'd just assume you'll still be pregnant in 4 weeks and take it as a pleasant surprise otherwise.

 

[Girly922]

I have no idea what my cervix is like seeing as they don't check it here until you're in labour so wouldn't even know if that was favourable. Baby has dropped some more since going to bed last night. I wish we had a countdown clock on our bodies that told us exactly when it'll happen! Lol.

 

[goddess25]

I am not having big movements anymore. I do feel the baby moving but it'd taps and smaller movements thati sometimes struggle to feel. This happened with my previous 2 at this stage.

 

[SisterRose]

Back from MAU. Baby wasnt moving as much as they wouldve liked at first, and they agreed it was a bit slow but then she picked up enough in the last 15 minutes. They want me to go for another monitoring session on Saturday though to make sure, and between my scan tomorrow and my induction next thursday. She has been a bit more active since I got home, hoping she stays that way now until next week. Just can't wait to get this baby out now

I wish we had a countdown clock on our bodies that told us exactly when it'll happen! Lol.

Wouldn't it be nice if our belly buttons acted like a turkey timer? Haha. As soon as it pops out, baby's done!

 

[Junebugs]

Ok sister rose.. I was just coming on here to post the same thing... baby has been really less active this week.. I can still feel some movements but the are really small and light... a lot lighter then before. I don't know if I should call or not but it seems like we always go through the same things at the same time...

Happy october ladies!! I wonder who is going to be our first official october pumpkin???

 

[SisterRose]

Soo weird Junebugs! I almost messaged to ask how your movements were going, as I know we always end up having less frequent movements at the same time!

Hopefully both our babies decide they want to move a bit more over the next day or so.

I didn't get in the hospital today for induction because they were full and no ladies were close to delivering (felt lik eI needed to come in and thunk them on their head and tell them "have your babies faster!!!!!!!!!!!" ) and I got postponed to thursday I could go in tomorrow but my dr isn't on call and he didn't want to disappoint me in case he couldn't make it in but thursday he is on call so I guess this bub is staying put till then.

so since i couldn't go in today for the very first day of October... one fo you ladies need to have a baby to properly kick off october!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET TO and on that ball!!!!

 

[girlnboots]

Am I the only one who's OH refuses to dtd?

 

[ptr]

nah, there's a lot of men out there who are a little freaked out about havin sex with pregnant women. totally normal. sorry to hear that though steph.

 

[Murmers0110]

Lol am i the only who refuses to dtd with my dh, lol

 

[lady1985]

NO, ur not the only one! My DH isn't at all up for it...making love to a water melon hahaha (hense the reason i'm doing the EPO as it does the same/similar effect as sperm!

 

[girlnboots]

I tried to convince my OH that this is the ONLY time we can have sex without getting pregnant so he should take advantage of it. He just looked at me like I was stupid. I guess it doesn't work on someone who wants 2 more kids, haha. Maybe one of these days I can convince him. Or get him drunk.

 

[goddess25]

I am planning DTD as soon as my parents arrive tomorrow..I don't want to at all but it might just work.

 

[SisterRose]

U

 

[Girly922]

Lol am i the only who refuses to dtd with my dh, lol

Not at all!! I really have no desire to do so at all. I am sat here bouncing on my ball though.

Oh ptr, I'm sorry. Was really hoping to see your LO next!! Only another day though now.
