Yeah I agree with mrs d, I think if they predict over a certain weight then they offer a c section.

And Ikea do hotdogs?? Where have I been lol?

 

[SATH]

Ah cupcake dont worry i just have a feeling you'll start maty leave then pop lbbc will arrive really quick. I had a friend who went on maty leave on a fri and baby arrived sat night!! If they know he is gonna be big they'll offer you c section scary now it is getting close.

Mrs d im so unhealthy its shocking thats prob why my amh is low already oops choc for breakfast crisps for lunch. Dont do it now all veg and fruit with occasional naughtiness but i love me a veggie dog!

 

[cupcake1981]

I don't know if they do? Or do they just induce earlier? I don't know tbh? Ill see what she says next week when I see her. I don't much fancy a section either tho but I guess it's preferable to being ripped apart by a giant baby. Urgh can't believe I have to do this in 5 weeks. I've spent all my pregnancy worryinh about staying pregnant, now the reality of birth is setting in!

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw cupcake I'd speak with your mw so that she can reassure you. I'm sure it's normal to be scared (I would be) but based on the fact most people have more than one baby, I'm sure you'll do fine hun, it's just going into the unknown isn't it xxxxxxxx

 

[cupcake1981]

I do try and take some comfort in that, well see what she says next week x

 

[baileybubs]

Yeah I think it's probably the unknown for you Hun that's more worrying. Try not to panic, I know it's probably hard to imagine but it really will be ok. And I'm sure they do offer a c section if they think baby is gonna be too big. But even if not it will all be ok. Has lbcc actually turned head down now then?
Don't forget even though my labour and birth weren't pleasant I still am raring to go and do it all over again, I'm even thinking of vbac too!
I would deffo talk to your midwife about your concerns though Hun, it's perfectly natural to be worried.

 

[cupcake1981]

Hubby seems to think I could insist upon one and that it's my right to do so (he works for the NHS) if they say he's gonna be big. I guess I'll get him to come with me to the scan and any follow up appointments and he'll have to convince them while I sit there and cry lol!

Yes it is the unknown!thats scary, and the fact I'm a woos with pain. Maybe I should just demand an epidural from the off, so I don't have to feel any pain and if anything goes wrong in the final minutes and they have to cut me or worse at least i won't feel it! I've been all about a drug free water birth for the whole way but since she said he's big I think I've changed my mind!

Yeah bailey he's been head down all along, dammit!!

 

[baileybubs]

Well if they mention induction at any point they automatically offer you the epidural straight away if they put you on a drip, so technically I didn't need to feel any contractions at all but silly me I wanted to see if I could cope lol!!

 

[cupcake1981]

Yeah I know induction is a b**** to, don't fancy that much either! Don't really want to give birth lol, anyone wanna do it for me?!? Tawn? I know you loved it haha!

Oddly I don't even think its the pain I'm most scared of, it's having a 3rd or 4th degree tear that takes 6 months to heal. Poor hubby hasn't had any in ages and I don't want to make him wait that long, and neither do I!

 

[baileybubs]

Aw I'm sure you will be ok. And yeah induction is a b***h but the best part of my labour was from 2am to 10am when the epi was working for me lol, I was laughing and joking with df and my mum (I want to break free came on the radio and I found it hilarious lol).
But your dh is right, you can insist on a c section. In fact any woman can insist on one no matter what because at the end of the day it's your body and your baby so as long as a c section wasn't posing any risk you can ask for one. But they can be awkward about it. As far as I can tell they may even be fussy about me having a repeat c section, but I'm very clear on what I want next time lol.

 

[cupcake1981]

Ok so I'll see what the mw and the outcome of any scans might be. Wish I could fast fwd to it all being over now!

I feel bad for not coming in here for days then just winging about my birth fears, when there are ladies ttc on here, sorry guys, kinda why I've stayed away last few days x

 

[CherylC3]

[MrsDuck]

Cupcake dont be daft hun, don't stay away on my account I don't blame you being scared and if you voice it on here bailey or Cheryl or someone that has already been through it might make you feel better

[cupcake1981]

Cheryl I'm the same with clothes for baby, I bought him loads of stuff in next at the weekend but bought all my hospital stuff in primark lol! I bet Leo will look really cute in his outfit!

Thanks mrs d, I hate to be a scaredy cat, and I always said when I was going through my Mcs that I was more scared of never going through childbirth, the closer it gets the scarier it is!

 

[cathgibbs]

Bailey did you have breakfast in bed?!

cupcake dont be silly hun see what the mw says hun?

Awww cheryl that outfit sounds fab for Leo!

MrsD your opks are weird this month hun? you said you werent stressed aswell? When did you start using them?

Hey Amy i love your pics of your hols!!

Sath! I love Ikea!! Fertility yoga sounds good! your diet sounds as bad as mine haha! xxx

Nope your right ladies apt is on the 10th its a Saturday - private clinic so their open 7 days a week - Sunday is a day for other apts? Just found out aswell that DF will have to deposit his specimen before we leave so need to ring to find out if they supply the pot lol xxx

 

[MrsDuck]

Hey cath how did boot camp go?

I started opks on cd9 so who knows I'm not too bothered this month as thyroid levels are way too high so probably best I don't catch

Mmmm what do they expect df to deposit in if they haven't sent out a pot?? Is the clinic nearby so that you can pick one up? xx

 

[cathgibbs]

Its not until tonight hun - went for another run last night managed to go 0.5 miles further than Saturday so def getting fitter! Rather scared about tonight though!

Yeah this month it doesnt matter - you going to continue to use opks though to check when ov does happen? Would your thyroid levels affect ov?

I have no idea lol gonna give them a ring lunchtime I think to ask lol! well its out of the way a bit but Ill just ask DFs mother to pop over to the chemist to pick me up a pot haha xxx
