Had my 31 week OB appt this afternoon and all is well. Baby's heart rate was in the 150's, my blood pressure was good and she said my weight gain was good. This week's starts me having an appointment every week until little one arrives. Next week is a growth scan, then an OB appt the following week they will check my tsh again. Trying to figure out the best time to get things done ex: putting car seats in the car, packing hospital bags etc. You would think this being my 4th I would have it planned out, but I forgot when I did it with the others lol

28 week appointment .

Baby is laying longitudinal . Not sure which way that would mean , head up or down never had it written like that before , heart rate was 150bpm. Moving around a lot too !

Midwife measured me as being 30 weeks so 2 weeks ahead . Thinks he “might” be a big baby (DS was 9lb 8oz when he was born at 40+6) . Have to go back in 4 weeks time and if he’s still measuring ahead she will arrange a growth scan but said she will keep a closer eye on me given how unexpectedly big DS was and his delivery was nearly a EMCS. .

She also said to ignore the appointments on my care plan as they are just generic and they will see me as and when they need or I want .

Kinda nervous now !

That would make me nervous too! They don't measure my belly since I am plus size they just went ahead and scheduled 2 growth scans. I won't know whether or not they will let me have a vaginal delivery or C-section until after the scans. It makes me nervous since I have not had a C-section before.

Totally agree with you I’ve never had a section before ! Hopefully we will both avoid a section ! I’d rather be induced early .

I hope you are able to get through soon and that you little one is ok!

All good thank you, but it's made my SPD worse

So exciting all these scans and appointments!

When do they start measuring bump? I'm 24 weeks and I feel like my bump is huge. Like bigger than it should be

Agree with you ladies, I've never had a section before and the thought makes me apprehensive- the unknown I guess. @Babybump87 where are you feeling kicks, towards the sides? Xx

You should have your bump measured at your next midwife appointment

She found his heartbeat down low. Most of the kicks are at the side . I’m pretty sure he’s just still moving all over the place since I don’t feel any hard parts like a bum/head at the top of my bum

How’s everyone doing?

To ease anyone’s mind in case anyone ends up needing a section, I’ve had 2 and they’re great lol. No labour, and I found the recovery to be very straightforward. I had a super terrible recovery with my oldest though (my only vaginal birth), so I don’t have a ‘normal’ vaginal birth to compare a section to.

Definitely feeling that pregnancy fatigue now when it comes to doing things physically. I went to Costco yesterday and told DH I can’t do it again until after the baby is born haha. Gonna start taking it easy and enjoying these last few weeks!

Do you have a date for your section yet or know roughly when it will be? I feel you on the tiredness, I'm so tired already, just feel I have no energy at the moment, and 2nd tri you're supposed to feel great haha x

 

[crazy4baby09]

The thought of not having to go through labor sounds appealing, my nervousness is because of my experience having my gallbladder out. It's the only surgery experience I have and my recovery was rough. I had it 3 months post partum and it was difficult for me to hold my baby as much as I wanted to. I had aches and pain for a long time afterward. It makes me nervous about a C-section. Like will I be able to hold carry my baby like normal? We also have stairs at out house and you have to go up them to go to the restroom. So many unknowns make me nervous.

 

[Babybump87]

I fear everything about a c section from the epidural to the recovery and being able to look after baby and my other children ! Maybe it’s just because I’ve never had one and the fear of the unknown too @crazy4baby09 gets to me ! . All 3 of my labours have been totally different .

A few of my friends have had sections and like you @Sander they would opt for one any day !

I literally feel like this pregnancy has caught up with me now Iam sooo tired ! I need to realise I can’t keep going like I used to . I’ve got bloods booked for next week to check iron etc and also the midwife on 30 March .

I had a growth ultrasound and little girl is looking good. She is starting to measure ahead a little bit. All of her measurements say she is measuring 33 weeks 1 day. Her head circumference is measuring 33 weeks 6 days. The only measurement that was close to how far along I am was her abdominal circumference. They also said her weight is 4.389 lbs. I have an OB appt next Wednesday and they will go over the ultrasound, I'm not sure if they will say anything about her measuring ahead. Wondering if they will wait until my next growth scan in April to make the decision about whether or not they will do a C-section. How is everyone else doing?

 

[Sander]

It helps a lot if you have help - the first 2 days are the hardest, I found after a week I was pretty much back to normal aside not being allowed to lift heavy things. I’m being strict with myself this time and following the rules because I want to make sure I heal properly. Usually I feel good so I just do things like normal even though I’m not supposed to

Tiredness has caught up to me too. I’m also stressed because our van got delayed to November, so I have no idea what we’ll do between May and November. Trying not to think about it for now

What a great profile shot Crazy! Sounds like baby girl is growing nicely. Big head, big brains

 

[Babybump87]

Lovely scan @crazy4baby09 . Hopefully
You will known more next week about a possible section /induction instead of waiting until your next growth scan!

Oh gosh Sander you really do need to look after yourself after the section it’s so hard not being able to do stuff . I find it very frustrating ! I had stitches after DD1 and my god I couldn’t even get on the floor to change her !

DH will get a week off and MIL has said she will also take time off after DH . But I won’t have a clue what’s going on until my next appointment!

Hey everyone. I've been MIA due to so much going on. I've been having problems with my house. my house was leaking EVERYWHERE, mold in the housing everywhere to where I was getting constant headaches. Landlord moved us (they didn't even fix the house up, they just moved some new people in) so now we are all moved in but still in boxes. The new house has so many problems but we are slowly getting it addressed. ALSOOO, at my doctors office we have rotating obgyns and at my first appointment this certain doctor did NOT like the fact that I did not want a tubal ligation/removal and told me i HAD to get on birth control even though I told her I did not want to. So today the doctors office called me and told me that same doctor is performing my c section even though I have in my chart that I do not want her as a doctor. Yeah, ticked off. I have a doctors appointment Tuesday. I'm going to cancel that c section date. If they dont, I'm leaving that whole practice.

Wow there is so much wrong with that!

I'm so stressed due to everything going wrong. And also there's more I forgot. This guy I work with is super mean, sexist towards me. I can't stand him. He whines to the boss of I don't do something he likes. I've been working there much longer than him and have more experience than him (he came in with 0% experience). But tried to tell me how to do stuff and gets mad when I turn his advice down. We were hanging up parts and I said can we hang it up a different way to get more production. He says y would we do that? We been doing it this way for the longest. No. Our bosses encourage new things better production and numbers! So I found a new rack, hung up the parts and got much more hung up. He threw stuff down walked away and told everyone that I need to leave him alone and find something else to do when he's working. No this is a team effort. We hang parts up so it can be washed and painted. I told my boss what happened thinking maybe I over stepped. My boss asked me did I take his parts down or start a new rack? I told him I started a new rack. I wouldn't take his down that's disrespectful. He said the man was I the wrong because she came in here before complaining no one wants to listen to his ideas but now he's treating me the same when I never did that to him before. So irritating. I cannot move or do anything without this man micromanaging me.

Hello ladies! Just checking in, haven’t really been replying on here much lately! Sorry! The third trimester has definitely been the hardest for me so far. I’m cranky, moody, and tired. My hips hurt throughout the day, especially when I walk. Having some bad sharp pains in my area throughout the day as well! Here’s a bump update from me. 30 weeks.
