Just put him to bed going to call them see what they say I have a pad on right now. I'll have my mother in law come watch him cause if I am in labor they will do a c section right away. I'm kind of freaking out now trying to relax a little bit and ill let you guys know what they say.

 

[pinktiara]

well went into l&d my waters aren't leaking by the looks of it she did a swab with a ridiculous large speculum hurt so bad i almost cried. She checked under the microscope and said everything looks fine. Than she says to me oh you should see if you can get your c section moved up lol as if I hadn't already tried that myself but they wont do it. It wasnt my dr that i saw tonight cause shes out of town it was her on call. So im still having some stomach pains and baby was moving like crazy so she just said if i have anymore rushing fluid to go in like seriously ugh guess ill see how i feel in the morning my dr should be back in town tomorrow so hopefully if this progresses she will be there to say lets do this!

LP has had her baby.

Will let her give you all the news. X

I pretty much had zero sleep last night.

The two bits I did have I'd be told off for as Bee was either on my chest or in the crook of my arm.

She just hates not touching. I can't blame her really but it's hard to know what to do.

 

[kezziek]

Hope the tummy pain eases pink &maybe your doctor might be more willing to bring forward your c-sec date when he knows you have signs of labour xxx

Thats great news about LP

Cupcake I remember those days well, it's so hard when they don't want to be put down. I used to trick mine into thinking they were being held I by wrapping them in something that smelt like me and puttting them in the moses basket snuggled all around so they felt supported from every angle. Mine also settled better propped on their side too rather than flat on their back. Failing that theres nothing wrong with co-sleeping theres lots of people who do it safely who could advise. I know you probrably don't want to be apart from her for one second yet but could your OH take her out post feed for a walk so you can nap for a hour or two? XX

 

[Hann12]

Good advice kezzie - I did the same with surrounding DD with things that smelt of me, it did work eventually but it's very normal for them to want to be held all the time initially.

Congratulations LP!

Had my 38 week check and 3/5 palp which is fab! Feels like all the uncomfortableness over the past few days has been worth it!

Worst Night ever.
That burning stomach ache was either food poisoning or a sour stomach...I slept on the bathroom floor from 2-430am. Not a second of relief all night long. It was awful. Had two BMs which made it a little better but not rly...gas all night long and acid reflux. By 7am I was in tears and couldn't lay down and all of a sudden I felt AWFUL and just barely made it to the bathroom where I puked my guts out...blegh :/ I feel better now somewhat I've managed to keep 4 pieces of toast down and some water but I still am a bit refluxy...gonna try and take a nap I'm so tired I could cry!

I was losing plug the whole night too but idk if that's coincidence or bc my stomach was so upset and I was going to the bathroom so much maybe I just like..pushed it out

 

[pinktiara]

Unfortunately my dr can't do anything about the date it's the obstetrician who decides it so pretty much if I go into labor I go to the hospital like last night and they will do the c section I do not want to go into labor lol been there done that no thanks.

 

[pinktiara]

Congrats lp!

 

[kezziek]

Oh poor mrsvbacock sounds like a nasty 24 hour stomach virus. Hope you can rest and get lots of fluid down you over next 24 hours. Those sorta things can put you into labour but thats the last thing you wanna be doing right now trust me! X

 

[kezziek]

Hann my midwife said baby was 2/5ths palpable yesterday too so I'm thinking thats they can only feel 2/5ths of the babys head now? I hope so can't imagine the discomfort if babys head gos any lower down though, I remember this discomfort with my first but he was a big boy with a massive head :-/

 

[Sass827]

I think were having some big girls Kezz! I feel like I'm wearing a chastity belt of pain. Her head hurts in the front and the back! Are you feeling better today?
Sorry your so sick mrsvb. Hope it clears up soon!

 

[jtink28]

last bump pic, 39+1!

off to the hospital now. won't be able to update for a few days, so i'll talk to you all soon!! can't wait to see if more babies have arrived!!!

 

[Hann12]

Good luck jtink! I'm sure it will go really well! Looking forward to hearing your news

 

[missmayhem]

Good luck jtink my darling fingers and toes crossed for you.

 

[kezziek]

Sass feeling abit better but still snotty, achy and drained. I'm thinking baby can stay in abit longer as I can't be bothered to give birth at the moment lol. I will be back to feeling impatient in a couple of days.

Good luck jtink!!! Can't wait to hear that he has arrived. Enjoy those newborn snuggles xxxx

 

[VmrsbabcockV]

I feel loads better thanks girls. Been able to keep food down all day and finally got some much needed sleep. No signs that being so sick is putting me into labor..

Good luck jtink!

Sry some of u r feeling so much pressure. I was a few weeks ago and now not rly I occasionally get that lightening bolt feeling down there usually when he moves but that's about it.
waiting to meet this little dude rly is not all that fun

 

[kezziek]

Yeah the waiting game is no fun best thing is to make lots of lovely plans if you can- lunches with friends etc that LO can come along and cancel for you & if he doesn't then they will distract you.

I have just realised that as of today I am officially in the other '2 week wait' this time waiting to see if baby will arrive in the next 14 days before I go into be induced. I guess 14 days isn't that long in the grand scheme of things- if I went on two week holiday it would certainly fly by x

 

[MightyMom]

Congratulations LP! Can't wait to hear the news!!!

Also congrats to Jtink!! I hope everything goes smooth for you today.

Pink: I wonder what all the leaking was? Keep on an eye it...I hope your ob decides that leaking fluids are a good reason to move up the c-section date!

Cupcake: Bee was in your tummy for 9 months, it'll take time for her to get used to not hearing your heartbeat or feeling you move all the time. We co-slept with DD until she was 6 months, it was just easier for us. We also kept her in a sling so I could get things done without her crying.

Hann: I'm jealous! At my 38 week appt. Colton wasn't engaged at all and I'm only 2cm dialated. Painful contractions all the time, not doing a THING. Which is good, because he needs to stay in there, but I wish the contractions would go away if they aren't doing anything!

Babs: Sorry you had a 24 hour bug. It is also possible your body is gearing up for labor and that was just a hormone flux. :/ Yuck, hope you continue to feel better though!

Kezziak: 2/5 refers to the position of the head in the pelvis. 2/5 engaged means +2 position:

[pinktiara]

It was just discharge they checked it under a microscope and it wasnt amniotic fluid. I have only ever met this OB once and that was to discuss the c section date pretty much. I see my dr tomorrow so I will see what she says she may just tell me to go in and put up a fuss lol

 

[TTCBean]

Hi girls, just checking in! Can't believe my baby is a week old already! This week has been a blur. The past two nights LO has been pretty great - sleeping solid 3 hour chunks in-between feedings. I really needed that. He's a deep solid sleeper too which is amazing. Hoping that doesn't change!!! Breast feeding has been a nightmare so far, soooo painful!!! but going to keep on keeping on, I had a lactation consultant come out today and she believes latch and everything is perfect, I just need to let my boobs adjust. For something that is so natural, you think it would be a walk in the park!

Hope all your lovely ladies are doing well!!
