*** NOVEMBER 2011 BABIES ! *** Chrysanthe-Mums - 39 babies here already!!!

[abi17]

Thankyou for all the messages
Update: arabella is doing fantastic and having no complications from having IUGR were very lucky. Her sugar levels were extremely low earlier but after the last check there 3.2. Anything above 2.8 is considered normal so that's good. Her APGAR reading after a minute was 9 and after 5 mins was 10. The doctors and midwives arexall surprised how well she is doing, especially after being born with the cord wrapped tightly around her neck TWICE. I will upload some pictures when I get home but anyone who has me on Facebook my bro posted one earlier. She has black curly hair, Rose bud lips and a button nose she really is perfect xxxx

Well I've been having tightening and niggles for about a week and a half! I'm sure it's all doing something and sometimes I think.. oooh... this could be it... and other times... like right now... I think I'll be here on the 8th November (16 days time) about to be induced!

My friend who's in Harlington had her two at the Bedford hospital and said they were good there! I'm in Luton, well... Outskirts of Luton! On the A6 anyway! so going to L&D! Will be keeping an eye out for your updates hun!!! Best wishes!! Xxxx

Ooooh you too honey . L&D are renowned to be good so fingers crossed they remain so with you - are you going into their birth centre bit or sticking with the main bit? xxx

Thanks hun! I had Lottie there and the maternity dept (day ward/labour ward and maternity ward) were fabulous! Thankfully I never had to use the NICU... but I've heard great stuff from friends who have had!

the birth centre bit is all new and probably wonderful and much less 'hospital' like but I feel much more comfy being near to the doctors! (and meds!) I had a doctor deliver Lottie in the end due to her getting stressed so prefer to be in the main bit... JUST in case! I know that some people hate the whole clinical hospital bits etc.. but both hubby and I feel calmer in that environment!

Not as impressed with the rest of the hospital, though saying that... the children's ward were great with Lottie when she was admitted around 6 months old as we couldn't get her fever down as she had tonsilitis and kept throwing up calpol/nurofen we gave her!

Exciting times... if this child would just now get a wriggle on! I'm quite done with being so uncomfortable!

I know exactly what you mean. We went to an all day antenatal class a few weeks back and they were really painting a bad picture of everything medicalised. But actually, when you think about it, sometimes those options are what are safest for the delivery of our babies and actually it's sometimes better to be near them and so less of a panic/emergency if you do need them! I had a look around the L&D and I really liked it and I've heard nothing but good reports about the care you receive there. And of course, the added bonus is how wonderful the NICU is (but I really hope you won't need to see that side of it!).

Hope those niggles turn into something soon for you - so so exciting!

[angelashope]

Im still here, and have been given both sates 11th and 13th, no baby yet-so glad you are all well

 

[sherylb]

Hi Angela! We had you down for an October date so I am just trying to make the list as accurate as possible.

 

[tlh97990]

you must really not like football sheryl my OH is mad that the giants have a bye week so he doesnt want to watch at all but im watching the packers!!

 

[sherylb]

I usually take a nap during the game but I did that during the first game today already. Then I woke up and made brownies. I will work on the list more later. We are getting ready to go have dinner with our friends for possibly the last time before Kristin.

DH thinks she will definitely be here this month. I am thinking she will wait for November though I am thinking early November. Can't wait to see how dilated I am Wednesday!

 

[tlh97990]

good luck! i feel like doctors appointments are so much more exciting now i hated going all the time before because im really impatient sitting in waiting rooms forever to see a doctor for 5 minutes but now i actually get updates i feel like!! im gonna ask about getting a sweep tomorrow but since its my doctor's partner im probably going to be told to wait for anything until next week when hes back

 

[sherylb]

Yeah, I bet you are right.

 

[Ashley8806]

I haven't been in here too much, but just wanted to announce that Hayleigh Shae is here! Here is the story with pics https://www.babyandbump.com/pregnancy-third-trimester/776284-my-baby-girl-hayleigh-born-36w0d-pics-added.html

 

[tlh97990]

congrats ashley!!!

so im really starting to get sick of people texting me every day multiple times a day asking if the baby is here yet. especially when its people like my mom and my sister and OH's sister. do they really think we're going to have a baby and wait a week or so to call them and tell them??? it drives me nuts and its making my wait feel longer!!

 

[mummapie]

Just got tearful reading and catching up. Congratulations to all the mummies so far. Hope everyone else is feeling well and not too uncomfortable.

AFM at my last mw appt he was measuring 38 weeks, so I have another appt Friday and if he's still measuring big I'll be sent for a growth scan. If he's still measuring big I will be made to go to a different hospital to deliver and I really don't want that. Then Saturday night I had really bad back pain and bh's, Roo hadn't moved for a while too so I started worrying. I was crying because I didn't know what was happening and OH was at work still. But OH came home and ran me a bath and baby started shuffling again. I kept saying 'he's not cooked yet he's banned from making an appearance!' I'm going to see my Dad next weekend, 4 hours away and I'm so nervous to go so far, but im sure he won't scare me like that again.
