May & June 2022 Munchkins

[MrsT116]

Urgh these cramps are really annoying .
Anyone else having period like pains ?

I’ve had them constantly for the last 3 hours tonight ??! . Baby has been active too

Hope this settled eventually and you're ok xx

 

[Babybump87]

I had them all through the night and still the same this morning !!

I will try and drink more water today ! I don’t drink enough anyway .

 

[Babybump87]

I get them, I usually drink extra water and that helps. Yesterday it was so bad and I had so much pressure I thought I was going into labor. It took several hours for it to go away.

Your so close now too !! hope your feeling better today ! X

 

[Sander]

Ah hope the water helps BabyBump - I get worse cramps when I’m dehydrated. This baby I’ve had the most Braxton hicks with too. Maybe it’s a 4th baby thing, lol.

Can’t remember who was asking about names but we’re going with Charlotte Eleanor. We had picked out a different middle name before but I wasn’t 100% on it so we switched it out. It’s kind of old fashioned but all my kids have older-style names so I figure she’ll fit in

Sorry I haven’t been super active - I do check in most days to read how everyone is doing. I’ve been stressed to death lately, it’s been a really rough few weeks. We are trying to finalize this vacant land deal, finish the updates on our house and make the plans to list it at the end of this month. Then of course on Thursday night I had to take DH to the ER at 2am because he was super sick vomiting. They think he has gallstones and want to remove his gallbladder - I have a major anxiety problem over any kinds of surgery (C-section being pretty much the only exception), so I haven’t been coping well. I know it’s super common and easy and safe - it’s just a mental thing on my part that I can’t get over. That and I don’t know when they want to do it - if they do it before the baby I’ll be 9 months pregnant with all 3 kids by myself and him to look after, and if they do it after I’ll have 4 kids and him to look after. Plus the antibiotics they have him on are making him sick so all the house updates have been put on hold and I don’t know how everything is going to get done on time.

Anyways, I just wish I could fast forward these next few months. Which sucks because I really wanted to enjoy this last pregnancy but I have really, really not been able to

Oh no Sander sounds awful timing. And I'm not sure which I'd prefer either! I guess life with a newborn would be more difficult to juggle for me.
Hope this phase passes quickly for you. Baby will soon be here, so exciting!!

I'm sorry you are going through this right now! Hopefully they are able to do the surgery soon so he can feel better. I had mine out 3 months post partum and I had so much anxiety about it, all went well though, I had trouble holding my baby though for a few weeks because it hurt one of my incisions. I hope it all works out the best it can for your family!

Lovely name for you baby girl !

wow you really do have a lot going on at the minute - make sure you take time for yourself even 5 minutes ! Have they said anymore about your DH have the operation ! I’m sure he will be fine but like you say it’s mental thing I hope you can ease your mind about it !
Hopefully things will turn around for you and you can enjoy these last few weeks !
Sending best wishes for you both !

Just had my 34 week midwife appointment at 33 weeks and 3 days .


Iron is still low to be expected since I not long start the iron tablets when I had the blood drawn . B12 is now low so I may need injections have to speak to the doctor when they phone !

Baby is happy good strong heartbeat . He is very low but not engaged hence the pains I’ve been getting !


My consultant referral was accepted so I will be seeing them around 36 weeks and discuss options then !! Ive also been changed to a high risk pregnancy .


Another appointment in 3 weeks when I will be 36 weeks and 3 days !


6 weeks 4 days until my due date !

I had my nst this morning and they were concerned because baby was moving like they wanted. Thankfully I had a growth scan scheduled for today so they added a biophysical profile added to it to make sure she is ok. I was nervous because they basically didn't do the OB appt and sent me to my ultrasound early. Good news is the baby scored 8/8 on the profile so she is ok. She is also in the 71st percentile and they are estimating her current weight to be 6 lbs 9 oz. She is still head down which is great. I only have 2 more nst/OB appts before my induction, it's coming up quickly!

 

[Sander]

Thank you everyone, you’re all so kind

We haven’t heard anything back from the specialist, but DH hasn’t had any more symptoms or attacks and he’s said he won’t do anything until after the baby is born so things are more manageable for us if/when it needs to be done. For now he’s just limiting his diet to low fat/processed foods and high fruit & veggies and that seems to be working.

I had my 34 week appointment yesterday, the midwife saw my May 19 section date and was like: ‘oh are you going to make it to the 19th?’ Which made me laugh. My water usually goes so early - it makes me appreciate having a midwifery team because I feel like they know your history more intimately than the OB. I told her about my full moon theory (my water broke with 2 of my boys the morning after the full moon) and she’s like - you know they’ve studied that and it’s a real phenomenon. I’m expecting to have my water break on the 16th, but we’ll see - lol. Every baby is different so maybe this one won’t do the full moon thing

Sorry you might have to have injections BabyBump! Hopefully your iron count increases with the supplements soon.

Glad baby is doing ok crazy! Mine is head down too - not that it matters much for me. Babies will be here before we know it!

Thank you Sugger - I saw a line on yesterday’s test by the way! Going over to stalk today’s test now

Thanks love. Sadly it’s a chemical. I had major implantation cramping all night the other night and then started getting symptoms. But unfortunately todays tests are fainter. The lines did come up strait away as the dye was going across but we’re all fainter than yesterdays.
I am upset and I really didn’t want a 2022 due date but now even if we fall next cycle I will be due 2023.
Just don’t want to have recurring pregnancy lossses like I did last time. I don’t mind having this one but I hope no more and hopefully I will fall again with a healthy sticky take home baby.
I will definitely let u know if and when I do fall and tests get dark. My temp is still sky high and still having a few symptoms but fading tests is never a good sign x

Haha I'm going to have to Google the full moon thing Sander! Glad hubby's diet it controlling his symptoms at the moment.

I'm going for a 3d scan today, never had one with any previous pregnancies so I'm excited to see what it's like. The girls are coming along and they are also very excited

So exciting about the 3d scan! We did one with #3 and current baby, the kids enjoyed it so much! Have fun!

Thank you!! I'm hoping they can stay away from the potty shot area as we really want to stay team yellow x

 

[Sander]

So sorry to hear Sugger Hope it happens for you soon!

Well after all that we don’t even think it was his gallbladder anymore because I woke up this morning with the identical symptoms. Thankfully I wasn’t throwing up for very long, but I definitely think it had to be a stomach virus now since we got it back to back. So, sucks to have a virus but it would be great if it meant DH is healthy after all!

I love the 3D scans MrsT! This is the only baby we didn’t do it with. I can’t wait to see pictures

Oh no, hope you're better soon!!
Baby was being very stubborn and facing away, wouldn't turn so we couldn't see its face. Got to go back again tomorrow to try again

I'm sorry you are feeling sick Sander! That would be awesome if your husband doesn't need his gallbladder out and it was just a virus. Does he still have to see a doctor to confirm whether it was actually his gallbladder or not?

Sorry your little babe was being stubborn! Hopefully tomorrow they will be more cooperative and you can see their sweet face!
