shells- im sorry your LO is not head down. if its any comfort i had one at 41 weeks that wasnt head down. when i was induced at 41+4 he was. so hopefully you LO will turn. i have heard its pretty painful when they manually turn the baby but at least its better if you have more fluid to turn them. since having too much fluid is opposite of what i have, i have actually read up on that too. theres info about both on the same websites. there is a chance of cord prolapse, but it was my understanding that it would be due to waters breaking and the baby coming down to lay on the cord, i could have misread that though. i hope your LO is ok in the end! im worried about cord prolapse too, he could already be laying on it. i was getting worried about hiccups now too!!! i was thinking it was a good sign that he has hiccups all the time- to get his lungs prepared. but now im worried he might be getting them too much, which could mean cord prolapse and they arent getting enough oxygen it just never ends does it...

Your right it never ends!! and yep now im worrying about the hiccups i seem to get them whenever i lay on my left side too which is near his head.... god sakes i need to stop googling stuff and try and relax just seems 10th feb is so far away!

mine gets hiccups on my left side too and starts moving all crazy also! his cord was bunched up right in front of his face on the left last week at his scan so it scares the poop out of me now that im cutting off oxygen anytime i lay that way. i lay on my right side all night now and wake up with my hips and back in constant pain. a couple of minutes into the day and im all crampy also! when do you go back in to have baby and fluids checked?

Brai glad your BP went down and sorry about your day - hope you managed to sort it out and get your car and dogs back.

Melissa cake sounds good - I've only just got my sugars back down today though so better skip it, maybe if they go low again lol.

Shell's hope your baby will turn by itself - there is still some time - do you know how oblique the baby is - is there a long way to get it head down?

My DD has decided the baby is not coming today after all - now she is coming on Saturday. This could go on for another couple of weeks lol. I have been sleeping in the afternoons now but it is incredibly hot and I keep waking up from the heat - still very very tired - when will the nesting kick in?

 

[msarkozi]

lol! every now and then I am tempted to eat one of my Lindt chocolate balls that I saved from Christmas.......I am just waiting for the day that I can melt one of those in my mouth!!

oh god sounds just like mine if i turn on that side (even though i was advised too cuse baby lays to my right all the time) he goes nuts! i mean proper nuts and hiccups like mad, im sat here now hes going nuts i worry cuse ive never felt such a active baby b4 that hes struggling in there! i mean i get everything poke out my right side and proper big too!! and yep when i wake up on my right side my hips ouch! and my pelvic bone like hes done pressups on it!... i wong have the fluids checked till 10th feb now this is why im worrying, and i have a funny shaped uterus (rectroverted) which is another reason why he may be oblique... argghhh i wish i had more faith in my hospital but sadly i dont, and my family keep telling me to chill out about it but i cant help it i wanna know all is ok! i wish they would give me a scan sooner!!

 

[Shell'sAngels]

oh and.... im getting him what feels like playing with my cord all the time.... ive had this a while cuse it keeps poking in and out and now im panicing that thats the cord wrapped somewhere or a knot or whatever!

 

[msarkozi]

Shell. I wish we had a window that we could peek in there and see what is going on whenever we wanted. I hope all is well!

 

[blessedmomma]

shells- after what you have already went through i think you have every right to feel any way you want to about the hospital or any emergency situation with your LO for that matter. your family just says to chill because they havent went through it themselves, or they might feel different.

tanikit- i hope your DD gets her lil sis soon, she sounds so excited!

melissa- dont tempt me with chocolate my butt is sitting here getting bigger by the minute with no exercise!

2ndtime- i hope she stays a bit longer, but if this is it at least you got your steroid shots and her lungs have a better chance!

edit:cant remember if i said so, but i hope everything works out with your car and your dogs, brai!

 

[msarkozi]

well if you eat some chocolate, please have some for me too

[braijackava]

So DD had an ear infection. I went to my doc appt and was there forever! BP was good when I got there, but she is still concerned about my at home BPs and the ones in the hospital. So I am doing another 24 urine that I have to bring back tomorrow. Got my bloods done again. Oh and get this my stomach is measuring too big! I was shocked since all of my kids were under 7 lbs. So I have to go in for a growth scan on Thursday. She said it could just be him not being engaged at all, if that makes sense? Either way I get the free ultrasound I wanted, I am going to see if they will give me a 3d of his face! And weekly appts from now on since she says preeclampia is just waiting to go full blown. So 3 doctors appts in the next week. Blah! Day from hell today, glad to be home. Sorry to go on about me for so long.
Hope everyone is doing well and hugs to those who need it.

 

[blessedmomma]

brai- it makes sense. my measurements went down by like 2 when mine started to engage. went down even further after, but dont know if he is lower or if its just the low fluid.

having some horrible BH tonight. not sure what its all about. has been going on for about 2 hours now.

 

[msarkozi]

Brai - mine has been measuring too big as well, and that's why I was told I am having a large baby. Now that baby is engaging, my measurements are starting to go down. I'm supposed to have proper measurements done on Monday so that they know exactly what we are dealing with.

Melissa - I keep getting some groin pain today.....and a few BH......I think these little ones just want to torture us while they can

 

[readynwilling]

Hope the BH are easing off for you ladies. Had my 4th prenantal class tonight. one more in class and the last week is a hospital tour. Kinda glad they are almost done, although i haven't learned anything i hadn't already learned from reading books or researching on my own. But i think its good for DH. Even though he is uber grouchy on tuesday's when we go.

 

[blessedmomma]

BH have went away. i poured on a bunch of water on top of my usual gallons i have nowadays and they settled down. was starting to get worried for a minute there.

sara- my DH had his wisdom teeth out the day before we went to our last lamaze class. we ended up leaving cuz his medication wore off and he couldnt take it anymore. poor thing.

 

[readynwilling]

Yeah DH got out of the class last week cause he had to work. So he needs to be at the rest of them.

Glad the BH's have stopped! I actually would like to have a drink of water now, but i know i will be up peeing all night! I am at the point of dehydrating myself after 7pm to avoid waking at night to pee
