Forums New posts
Dilated 2-3 cm but cervix is still pretty thick (but soft).

Induction scheduled for March 14th if she doesn't come along on her own before then.

Congrats to the new mommies, hope you are enjoying lots of baby snuggles

Keely good luck! Will be looking out for an update

Buttercup, I hope things have gotten figured out and that baby is as drama free as can be from here on out :hugs:

AFM: I think I am adjusting to motherhood well. It helps that Zodi is the calmest little guy ever.

ETA: I think jodiebump had her little girl, there's a post probably several pages back now :thumbup:
 
I feel your pain buttercup, we spent thursday night in hospital after my milk came in, poor Edith was already not feeding brilliantly, then completely stopped once my milk came. She was very dehydrated and listless, but thankfully nipple shields are allowing herb to get past whatever it is she is struggling with on my boob and she will often do a second feed without it too.

No more dramas is a sentiment I very much echo! I have cried an ocean this week!
 
Motherhood can be so hard when just starting out, but before you know it you will all find your own rhythm. :hugs:

You all are going great!
 
Sounds like the new mummies are doing well. Glad to hear any feeding issues seem to be resolving.

Us pregnant ones I'd imagine are really feeling it, I know I am. Though playing outside in the snow for half an hour with Isaac didn't help much.

Had another check today re blood pressure and High Urates in blood and low albium in blood. Urates rising but not drastically, albium dropping but again not drastically. Blood pressure high but doesn't need medication. My platelet count is dropping too, which may be an issue for clotting after baby.

Back on Tuesday for more monitoring, scan to check on growth and a sweep. I'm thinking that my blood results keep rising /dropping when they shouldn't be may push them into induction by 39 weeks, or if I'm lucky they may try for one on Tuesday (38 plus 3), so watch this space :)
 
I'm not overly worried but may be being naive. I think the fact that the levels are rising some when they shouldn't and falling when they shouldn't in other areas is a bit worrying as clearly blood work doesn't lie, but I feel ok in myself, a background headache most days and very thirsty right now.
I am to go back if I get severe headaches, swelling or sickness before Tuesday.
After my play in the garden today I'm feeling lots of pressure down below so I think baby has moved down low...... All good signs I hope.

Hooe your well

Still waiting here. Had sweep on Thursday but midwife said baby is still a way off. Another sweep/check on Mon and then think they will book induction for the 14th. Hope little man makes an appearance on his own before then.

Congratulations AMP, he is a cutie!
Good luck ladies, thinking of you all xx
 
Keep moving as much as you can and try bouncing on your birthing ball. Hope your little man makes an appearance before they need to do an induction x x

I haven't kept up, but I thought I would update here. Brooklyn was born on 2/24 weighing 6 lbs 6 oz ( 2.9 KG ) and 20 " ( 50.8 cm ).

Her birth was...unexpected in many ways. My placenta was very calcified from 36 weeks on, so I was being monitored weekly via NST and fluid checks. I had my NST friday and passed, but Tuesday I had no movement for hours. I figured we would go, get monitored, things would be fine and we could head home. Nope. Her HR was 160 and flat with late decelerations from early labor contractions. We tried a BPP to see how she looked and she failed the breathing portion. The doctor kept pushing a C section because I wasn't very close to delivery, but we tried induction first. Unfortunately, things were moving too slowly and she was definitely not tolerating labor well.

I finally consented to a C section for DD's health and safety. In addition to a calcified placenta from my Pemphigoid gestationis, I also had a hypercoiled cord near her forehead, which didn't help her oxygen levels at all.

She was taken for a bath and found to have oxygenation issues and ended up staying six days in NICU until she was ready to go home. She was 38+1 and still wasn't fully cooked and ready to be outside, but things were too dangerous for her.
 
azure Oh wow what a story you have there. I hope that you two are doing well and she gets better and better!! :hugs:
 
azure- congrats on your little girl! Sounds scary, but glad she's out and been well taken care of now!
 
Hi ladies quick update after my growth scan and consultant appt wed I was admitted into hospital. Long story short romain Ellis (pronounced Roman) was born Thursday 3rd at 650am after my waters were broken at 425am!! Very quick so I have a very bad tear as he was 8lb 14!!!!! HES HUGE!!!
Unfortunately he struggled with his breathing and was taken to special care, then we got transferred to a specialised critical care unit last night as his lung collapsed. He's on a ventilator, with chest drain and many other things. Sedated but doing well!
I'm on hdu as my Bp won't stabilise with medication but wel get there.. Il update you all again soon good luck to every
H xx
 
Congrats bigbelly! I hope he improves quickly and wishing you a speedy recovery as well.
 
Congrats Bigbelly on your baby boy! Sounds like you and him are in great hands. I wish you both a very quick recovery.
 
So many babies getting born! I hope all the Moms and babies make speedy recoveries and get some boring at home time soon!
 
Congrats bigbelly! Hoping for a quick recovery for you both!

I'm having such a hard time figuring out if I'm actually contracting or not :(

My belly gets super hard but if I sit down I can't tell anymore.

Feeling pretty nauseated right now as well. Hoping this is the start of something (and not a stomach bug)
 
So my lil boy has jaundice but it's not severe thank god. I have to take him back to dr. on Monday for a follow up. Other than that he is doing well and his big sister adores him.

AFM I came down with a bad cold 2 days before my induction and was in rough shape during delivery. It was so hard not being able to breathe through my nose while in labor thanks to congestion! Turns out I have a sinus infection and bronchitis! My husband was also sick during the delivery and actually had to end up going home before I delivered :cry::cry: luckily my mom was in attendance. After I delivered I couldn't even bond with dis because I was in so much pain. They had to keep massaging my uterus to get my bleeding under control due to a low blood platelet. It was soooooo painful. Then when it was time to retest my platelet count they couldn't get a vein and it took them 10 attempts. I felt like I was being tortured for hours. I was so exhausted as I didn't sleep the night before and delivered at 10:48 pm but didn't get to sleep after delivery until 5 am. Then once home I couldn't get rest because my husband couldn't handle the baby because we still don't know what illness he had. My milk just came in yesterday so at least now ds is getting my antibodies my only saving grace was my mom. I couldn't have gotten through this week without her.

On a good note I have the cutest lil boy in the world:kiss:
