hope you got to see someone Hann.

i hope everyone else had a good day, not long now till our babies start arriving

 

[Hann12]

Thanks I'm back, no miracle cure - 2 prolapsed (slipped) discs in my back causing the spasms and sciatica. Was the scenario I was really hoping wasn't going to happen. It's now going to be a tough few weeks coping with it and looking after my little one. Plus I will have a higher chance of needing an epidural which makes me sad

 

[missmayhem]

Hann did they suggest any labour positions that might help, if not maybe there is something on google

 

[TTCBean]

Sorry to hear Hann

I woke up this morning with a sore jaw on the left side and my ear on that side hurts a bit too, hurts to chew. I hope I am not catching something!

 

[Hann12]

Thanks

Missmayhem - thats a good point - I'll ask on Monday. I'm going to do everything I can for a natural birth still so just hope I can!

Hann- my birth class said having a big labor ball in the bed and draping yourself over it tummy down is the best to eliminate back pain. I saw it on baby story too and they called it doggy style lol. Hope that helps!

 

[Hann12]

Oh thanks Sass! That's really good to know!

Great stash ttc!

 

[Lady H]

Hann big hugs, sounds bloody painful xxx

TTTc nice!

Anyone heard from Babee? I've not got her on Facebook but know the baby should be here now?

I hit the big 37 weeks today, feeling a bit in denial at the moment. DH finally mentioned painting and clearing the spare room out for her....left it a bit late buddy!

 

[Hann12]

Congratulations on week 37 Lady H - I am too, wow thats gone fast!!

 

[CupcakeBaby]

Love the stash TTC.

Hann, that sounds so painful. I hope you can have the delivery you want and that positioning etc ca help you lots. Xxx

Congrats on 37 weeks girls!! Can't believe how fast it's going now!!

I'm waiting to see my lovely midwife. Going over our birth plan today.

 

[Sass827]

I'm loving being 37 weeks because now when anyone asks when I'm due, I just say "any day now. I'm full term"

 

[CupcakeBaby]

HI ladies,

Midwife went well.

Although my FH is now measuring 4 weeks ahead so have a growth scan booked for Wednesday!! Got ourselves a big, cheeky lady in there!

 

[Sass827]

Congrats cupcake! Big, healthy baby!

 

[missmayhem]

Glad it went well cupcake my DD measured the same and was a massive baby at 7lb14..... Fundal height it often out, ESP if you are short or cuddly. Or like me both.


Scary to think soon this thread is going to be full of, my baby won't sleep, my baby won't stop crying, are nappies suppose to be this colour

 

[Hann12]

Cupcake - so glad the mw appointment went well! Fundal is definitely not too accurate, I am measuring 2 weeks behind minimum but my mw said its def not a small baby so one of them is wrong lol! Not had a scan - decided I wouldn't in case it is big and all it did was scare me lol. I'm definitely doing everything I can to have my natural birth. Must write my birth plan now I've hit 37 weeks actually!

 

[kezziek]

I keep checking to see if Babee has posted hope all is ok.

Cupcake it's nice you get a scan in a way, another chance to have a peek at baby and see everythings ok. X

 

[jtink28]

i'm sure all is okay with babee. I think because of her health condition she has to stay in hospital extra long and be monitored? she may not be able to post. can't wait to see the pic of the first baby here, though!

as for me, we've had terrible thunderstorms today. last night my husband and I lost power at our home, and I had to get dressed for work in the dark, and I couldn't shower (no hot water, and at 9 months pregnant, I am NOT taking a cold shower!!!). all the food in our fridge and freezer has gone bad
i'm just hoping we'll have power by the time I get home from work tonight!!

 

[jtink28]

ttcbean, strange question, but did you ever get tested for strep b? I know you were kindof unsure about it. don't know why that popped into my head today!!

 

[TTCBean]

jtink, I got tested on Monday. I told my midwife about my plan to have a home birth and she was supportive, but she asked me to fill out a birth plan for the hospital just in case. The hospital really encourages natural birth, skin to skin, rooming in, delayed cord clamping, etc so it makes sense she is OK with home birth. I have to go in next week though to get the results, I'm going to call tomorrow and see if they will give them over the phone!

Are you girls getting tested for Strep B?

And I feel you about the thunderstorms... I think we live like 2.5 hours from each other. My dog was so scared all night, panting, pacing, getting on the bed/getting down, moaning... ohmygod! Really bad sleep last night. Thankfully we haven't lost power, but it has been flickering today... supposed to get another round of storms later today.
