[repogirl813]

wow tlh i am soo sorry you are having to deal with all the drama at the end of your pregnancy when everyone should just be listening to what you want and understand your wishes at this point

 

[Mrs. AJ]

Wow, that is not very nice of them to put that kind of stress on you a week before your due date! I understand your mom is just excited to meet her grandchild, but cutting off your gas card is just manipulative. I hope you can smooth things over with her and she understands that it is your decision who to call when you are in labor.

 

[tlh97990]

thanks i just feel like i have more important stuff to worry about right now and its their choice if they want to be like that fine by me i wony regret my actions in the end

 

[wtt :)]

tlh! that is just ridiculous behavior me thinks

 

[tlh97990]

so when i went to the hospital yesterday they said the discharge/fluid on my liner was probably just from my cervix check the day before but im still having the same fluid/discharge in my liner all day today and tonight. it is brownish and has a strong odor to it that i only notice when i go to the bathroom and i feel like my contractions are getting stronger but i really dont want to go to the hospital because the nurses hurt me when they check my cervix and all they did when i was there yesterday was to see if it was amniotic fluid or urine and it wasnt either so they just discharged me instead of figuring out what it is. is that kind of discharge normal this far in pregnancy or could it be some type of infection? i havent had sex in months so i know its not anything due to that

 

[alybel]

tlh - I can't help sorry, I don't have any discharge in this or any previous pregnancy so can't comment on that. If you are worried though I would get it checked out, the midwives at my hospital always say it is better to come in if anything is concerning.

I had my last OB appointment today. My c-section is booked for Tuesday and the 2nd OB, anaesthetist and paediatrician are all booked in ready to go Just wish it were tomorrow but I do have my daughter's 5th birthday party on Sunday so I am sure that will pass the time a little

Hope all the contractions that are being felt speed up and some more babies are born

 

[MummyCat]

Oh Pip...Hope WB stays put until 38 weeks... not long to wait!

TLH...that's just crazy! your family should be more understanding for goodness sake! I hope the discharge eases!

No news here... just more contractions in the night that peak about 2am and then slowly ease off and by the morning... gone!

 

[tanni78]

Qwk you're nursery is fab, so unique and the colour scheme is lovely. It's made me really jealous that my lil one isn't gonna have his own room yet. I have decorated a corner of my room for him though lol. Well my latest update is that baby has gone pretty quiet over the last few days and my false contractions seem to have settled down. I was a bit disapointed but i'm trying to convince myself that it's just a calm before the storm and that he's gathering his energy for the final push. I've been measuring round my waist all through my pregnancy and from 35 weeks it hasn't got any bigger then last night i measured and i've gone up by 2 inches in a week!!!! Not sure if he's had a final growth spurt or if he's just changed positions. I woke up in the middle of the night last night and it honestly felt like he was using his hands to dig his way out of my cervix. I thought maybe it was gonna start something but i haven't had as much as a twinge today so i'm gonna go make my xmas cake and do some frantic tidying while i still can. Hope everyone's feeling ok xx

 

[Huggles]

Pip - sorry to hear about the polyhydraminos
Great that you've got an induction date booked! Not long to go at all!

TLH - sorry your family are being so unreasonable and childish
That's precisely why I wasn't going to let anyone know when i go into labour - i don't want to have to deal with constant texts and phone calls. Then I mentioned that to my mom and she's like "no, but you HAVE to tell us when you go into labour". So i said but I don't want the added pressure of everyone waiting for something to happen. We haven't really spoken about it since then. I'm just really hoping it all happens during the night becuase then dh will be there to take me to the hospital (my mother also insisted that if he's not around SHE'LL be the one taking me to the hospital - despite me having already made other plans), and also it will give us a reason for not letting anyone know that labour has started - it's bad manners to phone/text people after about 9 or 10pm. So i'm really hoping that's how it goes and then we have a good excuse without hurting anyone's feelings.

so when i went to the hospital yesterday they said the discharge/fluid on my liner was probably just from my cervix check the day before but im still having the same fluid/discharge in my liner all day today and tonight. it is brownish and has a strong odor to it that i only notice when i go to the bathroom and i feel like my contractions are getting stronger but i really dont want to go to the hospital because the nurses hurt me when they check my cervix and all they did when i was there yesterday was to see if it was amniotic fluid or urine and it wasnt either so they just discharged me instead of figuring out what it is. is that kind of discharge normal this far in pregnancy or could it be some type of infection? i havent had sex in months so i know its not anything due to that

I think some discharge, possibly brown tinged, might be normal, indicating the cervix is dilating. But there definitely shouldn't be a strong odour - that usually indicates some sort of infection. I think, as much as you don't want to, it might be better to go and get it checked. just to be on the safe side.


Alybel - oh wow, not long to go at all! so exciting!


AFM - 36 weeks today! Just one more week until full term and the stitch comes out!!!
Anything can happen at any time after that! And i doubt very much that i'll be waiting more than 3-4 days once the stitch is out. He may prove me wrong - dr says i might still walk around for another week or even 2, but based on how things feel now, I think this little man is ready to meet his mommy and i'm definitley ready to meet him!

 

[qwk]

T lh - ugh, sounds like blackmail! nothing like blackmailing a pregnant chick! Maybe there's a compromise in there somewhere? Like, I will tell you I am in labor and I/DH will send you updates every X amount of time, but you cannot text or call until at least that amount of time has passed.... Or something.

Huggles - happy 36 weeks! not long now!

tanni - i had a similar experience with my bump making "great strides" in the measurement department hehe. up 2 inches last week, 1 in this week! i think it's the "dropping," as baby tilts out farther!

Afm, I think I finally felt something last night! Like maybe a contraction or two, followed by what has felt more or less like menstrual cramps. Exciting! Though I still couldn't say for sure, but it was definitely different!

 

[Huggles]

exciting qwk! Fx'd it's the start of labour for you!

I told dh that if he has to let people know that i'm in labour, he can tell his and my parents ONLY, no one else. And if they start calling/texting for updates then he must switch his phone off. He can switch it on once every couple of hours to send a new update if he wants, but he must switch it off inbetween as i don't want to have to deal with constant sms's/calls coming through.

 

[DrGomps]

tlh, I feel like your family is being very manipulative and unreasonable. The discharge could be plug loss...which is a sign of effacing/dilation. I have been having quite a bit of bleeding/discharge from my sweep and it has an odd smell...not an infection smell..but different...think its your plug hun...which is a good sign but not necessary to go to the Dr.

Yay Qwk for feeling some contractions!!

Huggles, yay for 36 weeks!! ANd a week from removing the stitch...I bet you will be a mum before me.

 

[wtt :)]

exciting, qwk!!

Spreading some labor all over this thread

Happy Full Term to me! Let the bouncing begin!!

Happy 36 weeks, Huggles!

 

[Nyn]

pip - wow exciting that you have a set time in mind now to work towards!! not long till you meet your LO!!!

tlh sorry your mum's giving you a hard time

I'll text my immediate family if I have time to let them know I'm in labor and will call everyone straight after Friends will all get a text

Happy 36 Weeks Huggles!!!

Happy Full term WTT!!!!

And lots and lots of labor to EVERYONE!!!!

So exciting all these contractions!!!

I've got a mw appointment tomorrow so going to ask for a sweep

yeah they had their test run when i was in false labor and failed miserably! if i told her id call in a half hour shed call in 10 minutes if i told her id call in an hour shed call in 20 minutes. but blackmailing me and trying to make me feel bad isnt going to make me want to call now. right now i dont even want to talk to anyone so they better hope she stays in long enough for me to get over it

im thinking ill call my doctors office this afternoon if its still like that and tell them the hospital didnt tell me what was going on just that i didnt pee myself and that it wasnt amniotic fluid but im worried it could be an infection. i know some infections are dangerous to give birth when they are active so i will keep you all posted!!

its almost the last weekend of october!!! yay for it being almost our month even though a whole bunch of babies are already here!

 

[qwk]

congrats on full-term wtt!

keep us posted (as I'm sure you will) on the sweep Nyn!!

we need a smiley that is bouncing on a birthing ball

 

[Michieb]

Happy 36 weeks Huggles!!!
Happy 39 weeks drgomps & tlh!!!
Nyn Goodluck on your appt!
Happy full term WTT!!
PIp hope baby hangs in! and that you are feeling well!!
TLH sorry you are having to deal with this nonsense!! And totally feel for you - but know they are not doing anything out of bad intentions (except for the gas card thing -imo that is just childish and wrong!!)- just keep in mind they are just as excited as you - and as your mom she just loves you and is worried about you and the baby!
I know for me with my first my parents couldnt be there - and all i wanted was to have my mom there - i called her as much as i could inbetween the pain - everyone else just called hubby - 18 hours of agonizing labor and then an emerency c section - i called her constantly - and everytime i did i could hear the concern and worry in her voice - but just to hear her voice made me feel better - and i know her when she heard mine it made her feel better - my dad has been sick and when he goes into the hospital i call constantly - i know it gets annoying as there arent updates often - but but it hard to not be there - i hang up and already within 5 mins i just have the urge to call again!!
So anyways long story short - i know everyone has their own idea of what the perfect birth is - but keep in mind your parents loove you and worry about you - and always want to be there for their lil baby (no matter how old we are - we'll alwys be our parents lil baby :0) )

As for me - did 3 loads of laundry for baby last night (hopefully only 2 more to go!!) Washed all his clothes - sheets - blankets - hats - mittens - socks - etc
Hopefully will get more done this week! Have had to come to the realization probably wont get to decorate the nursery in time which makes me quite sad - cause for my daughter i was ready 3 mos in advance But doing what i can! Crib is all set!
Going to dr this afternoon! Hoepfully all goes well! 38 weeks tomorrow for me! 2 weekends to go!!

Hope everyoe is doing good!! Hang in!! 4 more days till November!!!! yahoo!!

BTW who is the tenth baby? Did i miss ssomething?

 

[sherylb]

bmuir11207 - Addison Renee - Born 26th October is the last one listed. Not sure who that is.

 

[Huggles]

Thanks sheryl - i was also wondering.

 

[Mrs. AJ]

Happy full term wtt and 36 weeks huggles!! Alybel, your section is sooooo close, yay! And happy 5th bday to your daughter!

And a big thanks to Sheryl and Nyn for keeping up to date on all the births and keeping the thread updated - so exciting to see all the births!

AFM had regular BH every 4-5 minutes for about 2 hours last night, more annoying than anything, then they stopped. Then was awakened by one painful contraction in the middle of the night - just one! I'm hoping I at least have some dilation to show for it at my next appt.
