Thanks mighty! Im certainly lacking in the sleep department. I'll try my best to get some <3. Yes stress should be my middle name. This year has been hell. Between kids in hospital, husband in hospital and now my cousins passing; feels like it never stops. I'm going I send my aunt flowers or something bc I feel so bad for not being there but I don't think heading out to the funeral would be a good call for me right now given how far along I am and finding child care will be nearly impossible :-(.

Thanks pad <3
 
Oh and I definitely get contractions from stress. More so than with any other trigger. And my kids are real big on irritating me this Spring Break! Thank goodness they go back to school Monday!!!!
 
My little guy is the biggest stressor!!! Today hubby is treating me to a Mani and Pedi so I can relax....it's long overdue!!!

Hope you all have great weekends:-)
 
Mine too Courtney but dh is a big one as well. Back to the routine for school next week though!!!
 
So sorry to hear your sad news Courtney. That really is sucky :cry:

I agree with the others though, don't risk a long drive on your own, it's not worth it.
A funeral is just a day, you don't need to be there to remember a person.
I missed my Grandads funeral as I was too far away. I was in India, so definitely couldn't make it!
Your family will understand, don't feel bad xx
 
Thanks Tour <3. Yeah I am gonna stay put its worse enough DH will be 4 hours away all week :-(. I'm so ready to have this baby...can barely walk now and I am swelling up like a beast (don't mind me just feeling worry for myself today). Good news is that I am 37 weeks today (not sure why my ticker is always a day behind?!).
 
Ladies all the best! I am off to hospital for the next 2 weeks until Leo is born at 38 wks!

Had a scan and Leo is still transverse, so I am being admitted today to the maternity ward for the next 2 weeks (unless he comes sooner) as apparently it would be quite risky for me to go into labour or have my waters break without being in hospital as he can't be born whilst he is transverse!!! OMG OMG PANIC!!!

So basically I will be in there 2 weeks all being well with some steriod injections to help Leo's lungs... a lot of sitting around and boredom I suspect, however, whatever is best for him.
 
Never heard of that pad! Are you in the states?? Don't panic because it can't be that bad if I've never heard of bedrest for that.

Courtney-There is a time delay with the tickers. It says 37 weeks now. :)

And I'm 33 weeks today!!! Used to Monday appts but doc is off today so I will go in on Wednesday and have my first NST. Starting to get nervous. This is just too real now! I never thought the day would get here and now it's fast approaching! EEK!!!!
 
Pad that's a new thing to me too. Are you on strict bedrest in the hospital? I would think they would want you to move around to get baby to turn? Well in any event, omg this is it for and congrats for making it this far!!!!!

Court I'm glad you got a little pampered you deserve it :hugs: hope you are feeling better, and looks like you are officially full term mama!!! :D:D any day now!!!

Kelly congrats on gettin to 33!!! So happy an excited for you, see I just knew you were strong enough to get through it all :D literally a few more weeks an baby could be here!!

Tour how have you been? Have all your baby stuff ready now?? :D I have everything except a little tiny tub thing that fits in the sink or the baby to fit in but I guess I can do without it for now. Just have to get hubby to install carseat this week and we are all set!

AFM- I'm on the brink of going crazy. I thought I had been strong this whole pregnancy despite everything my family and I have been through this past year, and now I feel like I am about to crumble. I'm so very grateful to be this far along and.... Be 34 weeeeeks!!! Which means no transfer if baby is born, and plus I have the steroid shots for baby's lungs too :)
However, my body is starting to act worse and I might get transferred anyway. My platelets are getting super low again (like with dd1 and dd2) an now I am worried about what may happen in the next couple o weeks. Because of y low platelets, I am at risk to bleed excessively if I get cut durin the stitch removal in my cervix. It is two weeks away and I'm pretty sure my platelets will be even lower than twy are now, so I freaking out about this. I am also getting these preterm contractions which are starting to change cervix so they may end up taking stitch out sooner to prevent my cervix from being ripped apart. I won't know anything until tomorrow and I am so anxious to see if they will remove it earlier while my platelets are somewhat stable. Plus they said once I hit 34, they won't stop my labour it it starts up again.... Ladies I really am losin it now, and being on bedrest for 5 months can make a person lose their mind!! It's all getting to me I guess since I'm in the homestretch and just don't know what my plan of care is. Oh and c section is definitely the last thing I need because of the risk of bleeding out :( so scared right now. I cannot wait until my appointment tomorrow.
 
Yep I'm officially full term, I can't believe it!!! I'm soooo hoping baby stays put this week!!!

Mizz I can't imagine what you're going through and I'm sure bed rest takes a huge toll on you especially when you have a young child that also needs your attention. The good news is that you're in a safe zone with baby now. Think about it you went all this time and now the end is finally near!! Even if he or she is born now they'll be ok<3. As far as the platelets are concerned: what can they do for that? I'm clueless as to what can be done. Won't a clotting agent help if you did start to bleed excessively during labor? They had to give me something to clot my blood with ds1 bc I wouldn't stop bleeding, it was scary but thank god all was ok. Does your stitch come out this week? Again, remember baby will be ok and so will you. Soon this will all be in your past and that baby will be in your arms <3
 
Bye bye Pad :wave: Good luck and see you when you're a mummy!!

(Iluv, she's in UK)

Hey Mizz, I'm good thanks. I think I've got everything I need, still haven't bought nappies, but I'm not worried as they give them out at the hospital over here. Oh, haven't done my bag yet either, but I'm a last minute kind of a girl and can't seem to change the habit of a lifetime!
Baby's room is still not finished either, but that's not the end of the world as he'll be in with us to start anyway.

Mizz, I feel so bad for you. You've done so well though, just keep strong for a little bit longer, you CAN do it. Whatever happens now, you and baby will be absolutely fine. Honestly hun, you should be so proud of yourself, 5 months of bedrest would send anyone over the edge, but you're still going strong! Send ing you big BIG :hugs: xxx
 
Just read Pad's post!!!! Lots of luck to you!!!!!!!!! How exciting!! Can't wait to hear about the birth of Leo :-)
 
Good luck Pad!!

Courtney: Yay for full term!! THE END IS NEAR! :) Your ticker may be behind if the website you got it from is not on your time zone. ;)

Mizz: It doesn't really matter how well your pregnancy goes or what your history is...every mom I know hits the panic button at some point in the third tri. It's scary and there are a lot of unknowns and there is a lot of risk and uncertainty about something SO IMPORTANT. Don't feel crazy, at some point or another we will all think "OMG this is too scary!" You'll get through it and you'll both be fine in the end. :)
 
Thanks ladies for your words:hugs:
They would have to have platelets available incase I bled excessively or if I needed a c section but that is still scary! I can't imagine needing extra blood and all of that. I had low platelets with dd1 but I wasn't at risk for preterm labor and stuff and I risk for stitch rippin my cervix apart. If I didn't have the stitch in with these contractions I wouldn't be as worried.

Mighty with dd1 I was nowhere near this worried because I didn't have so many conflicting problems. I'm usually calm in stressful situations but I still have to deal with the last time I delivered my daughter died and I'm not looking forward to delivering in fear I will have flashbacks. That's something I will never get over or forget so it is more than the normal fear. With the stitch, if it rips my cervix because of these contractions, i could bleed out because my platelets being so low and it is something that could happen at anytime. But you r right, it is almost over with and I can't wait :) thanks

I will try to remain positive, I just need to be told straight up what my plan of care will be based on these last few weeks of things going crazy. After my appt tomorrow hopefully I will have a peace of mind. I also get a a baby growth scan so to know my baby is doing great will also help me relax.
 
Waiting for nurse to call me back... Having contractions with more pressure cramps and feeling my stitch tugging :( oh goodness I pray it doesn't tear. Will update as soon as I can. Please keep us in your thoughts. We've all come so far and I want us all to have safe deliveries!
 
Ahh makes sense Mighty!!! :-)

Mizz, keeping you in my thoughts, please keep us posted <3
 
Mizz-I'm off procardia by next week and they won't stop labor for me either. I honestly haven't used the med in maybe a week. I had a gut feeling these contractions would stop towards the end when I really need them for progress! ;) Hope your stitch is still good and you keep going! We are so close now!!

We are so gonna have to start a new mommy thread when we all hit the finish line! I will miss everyone too much!
