2nd time i hope everything goes ok and fingers crossed your baby stays put a wee bit longer and feeds some miraclegrow soon!!!....

Wow you all have loads of appointments etc i feel a wee bit left out hahahaa, i have midwife on tuesday at 35+2 and consultant on 10th feb but thats it for me now, mind you may not need anymore all depends if they induce me, i have a feeling they will do it on the 21st feb and i will be 38+1 ... if they dont induce me, i may actually cry lol seriously starting to have enough now, i feel drained and exhausted with my other 2 being so needy too!! i just wanna avoid the 25th feb as that is my 2nd son's birthday!!
Oh we could have a couple of us in the same day and sharing birthdays!!!

P.S ice cream is a craving here too and i dont normally care for it much... baby must need the calcium! lol... i went to macdonalds yesterday for a lion bar mcflurry it had to be done!!

2ndtime- how much is that in pounds?

tanikit- i hope you get the 16th so your not in the hospital on your birthday giving birth! and she is gonna be a very big baby if she IS over 7 lbs already!!!

 

[blessedmomma]

my OB wants to induce on feb 15th, when im 37 weeks. gonna try to talk her into friday 18th, or saturday 19th so everything works out more smoothly for us. my step-moms b-day is on 18th and my SIL b-day is on 19th, dont think someones can be avoided for us. my sisters boyfriend is on the 20th, and we have a ton of other ones scattered in feb.

 

[msarkozi]

Melissa, it sounds like we should be induced around the same time. I haven't been given a date yet, but that is the general area they are looking at.

 

[braijackava]

I know i should comment on everyones posts, but i have had the toothache from he'll for almost 24 hrs now. I am miserable. I will be back on when i feel better. So i will just say i hope everything goes well for everyone. Sorry i am such a cow right now!

 

[codegirl]

ouch! I hope your tooth gets better soon

 

[Tanikit]

Brai hope it will calm down - otherwise shouldn't you get it checked out - toothache can be really bad.

2nd time it seems your baby and mine want to make sure they are on opposite sides of the growth curves. Hopefully yours will pick up weight now and mine will slow down slightly (or come early) Did they check your placenta?

Melissa (blessed) seems there are a lot of February birthdays in your family. I would prefer mine NOT over a weekend. Its weird being able to choose days for induction though I am not sure I will get my choice - there seems to be something about 38 weeks here - as in they will not do it before then and this doctor has my due date as 4 March rather than 2 March (my cycles were always 26 rather than 28 days which is why I always have a 2 day discrepancy) He did say though that if I went into labour from here on out there would be no stopping it or even trying to - so babes if you want to come feel free but please make sure you are ready when you do decide to.

 

[2nd time]

in lbs its between 3.5 and 4lb ctg was fine just got to go for steriods at 9pm anyone eles getting steiods whos being induced still hoping to avoid induction

 

[blessedmomma]

2nd time- if my water would have been leaking i would have had to have steroids tuesday and gotten induced tomorrow. since they arent im assuming i wont be getting them. she hasnt mentioned it anyways. i read online that they can really help though. i hope your LO gets bigger and is ok!

tanikit- i know that if my pregnancy was still healthy she wouldnt induce before 39 weeks. that was gonna be an option of mine if everything was ok. im not sure why she is doing it so early. im sure there can be complications, but im not sure what all can happen. when i was looking it up it was talking about the baby getting stressed and prolapsed cord during delivery with low fluid. i guess i should ask why she is choosing 37 weeks, would be good to know. it is weird to think about what day would be best to induce. i never thought about it before, was only induced after being well over due and was anxious for any day by then! i hope your LO is ok!

melissa- would be cool to have our babies the same day!

brai- toothaches are the worst, hope it quits hurting or you get it taken care of soon!

 

[Nixilix]

Sent to hosp at bp high and protein in urine. On monitors now having half hour bp check x

 

[blessedmomma]

nix- i hope everything is ok! they think your getting pre-eclampsia??? im glad you went in today and they are keeping a good eye on you!

 

[pinkycat]

Ooooh i want some ice cream now.

Brai- i hope the toothache gets better soon.
2ndtime - I remember having the steroids with my 1st.
Membas- amazing scan
nixilix- i hope all is ok.
Blessed- Hang in there with the bedrest, its boring though


Iv had a very stressfull day, this morning i felt so faint and dizzy i couldnt stand so rang MIL who took me to hospital. The BP meds have been making my BP too low would you believe. It was 90/50 so no more tablets for me. They also booked a growth scan (at last) for next thurs and they will give me my C section date

 

[Tanikit]

Nix glad they are keeping you to check and hopefully your BP will come down - have they given you any idea what they plan or is it just monitoring for now?

Pinky low BP can make you feel awful so hoping it rises a bit and you feel better - but not too high either!

Wow, at the rate we lot are going there will only be February mommies on here with all the inductions and C-sections. Babies - you need to all stay healthy even if you all want to be early! Seems we have a bunch of over achievers!

 

[2nd time]

i think i am going to refuse induction as long as ctg is ok but guess that depends on what dr says by the time i have finished running back and fro to hospital i will be skint have lost weight and prob have high bp lol but wat can ou do

 

[MumtoJ]

Hi ladies, still feeling really yuck, cold is really comming out today so apolgies for my lack of detailed comments

2nd Time I hope your lo has a growth spurt and the dr's are happy to let things go on a bit longer.

Brai - go get your tooth checked out, you really don't want an infection to deal with as well

Pinky / Nix - hope everything settles down

To everyone I've missed sorry & big hugs.

 

[blessedmomma]

cathryn- im sorry your still feeling like poop. hopefully not too much longer before you start to feel better hun!

pinky- hope your bp levels out and you get a good section date!

2ndtime- i hope it all works out for you and LO and she can stay in a bit.

got on google and found out all kinds of problems low fluid can cause. i need to turn it off now as i have already called my husband at work all upset telling him the complications. club feet, problems with kidneys-heart-lungs-urinary tract, cord prolapse, placenta, on and on and on. even can cause problems with labor and delivery. cord can get pinched and cut off oxygen to baby, and there is a greater chance of having a c-section. i dont want a section, but im all for it if it gets him out safe. time to quit reading up on it and have some faith...

hugs to everyone who is going through a rough time at the moment (

Can someone help me, is a blood pressure of 90/60 normal ?

 

[membas#1]

I believe 90/60 is considered borderline low, but some people run lower in general as a norm for their body. my friend does...but it is borderline according to charts.
