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

[Mrs. AJ]

Happy full term ladies!

Well I am up in the middle of the night as I've been having painful contractions every 15-20 minutes for the last 3 hours...the last couple have been about 12 minutes apart. I honestly don't think there's a baby in today's forecast for me, I expect them to stop any minute, but I finally gave up and got out of bed since they were keeping me up, so hopefully DH can get some sleep at least.

 

[Huggles]

[Huggles]

morning.


feeling blah today.had regular cramps yesterday 1pm-4pm then turnt to a dull ache.
later that night i had back pain(i havent had back pain before)
woke up every hr last night and lost some what i thought was mucous plug.everytime i woke up i was literally aching all over and today im exhausted.

The back ache hasnt gone and baby seems quieter and been getting braxton hicks.ALOT!

i dont know what to think?

im going to go out for lunch with mum now!

Yay for maternity leave huggles!! Quite a milestone!

Mrs aj - oh sounds very promising, hope you check in soon to keep is posted!

Congrats on full term sun flower!

Babyhopes wish I had some insight but I am pretty clueless! I am sure it is something happening though!

Afm not much to report, things have been about the same as yesterday with some "action" in the evening that I am assuming relates to my cervix getting ready MW appointment today, but I'm pretty certain I am going to decline if she offers to check my cervix - I'm all in for as few interventions as possible during labor, I might as well get started now!

 

[Nyn]

Gutted Just went for my midwife appointment and her husband was there and said 'didn't she call? she's at a birth' booooo!!! I'm not mad at her - maybe she had no time, just really disappointed as I was really looking forward to it

 

[myasmumma]

8 days to go for me past few days though this heartburn just. won't. go. AWAY!!!!!

 

[tlh97990]

happy full term ladies and x weeks for everyone else!!

nyn that sucks that she was in a birth during your appointment hopefully you can get in today or soon! i'm surprised that this whole pregnancy my doctor hasnt had to cancel for a birth but he did decide to take a vacation the last two weeks of my pregnancy so i guess it evens out!

nothing exciting for me but its the weekend which makes me really happy!! i have 2 hours of work today since im not going to school til after i have the baby then im shooting to work all next week and having the baby soon after. thats my plan i dont know what her plan is in there!

 

[DrGomps]

Wow...Sheryl, thanks for all the detective work!!

Happy Full Term Rachel & Amanda!! Wohoo!! Time to serve eviction notice

AFM...no baby...hope she decides to come soon...I am going a bit crazy...want my daughter!!

 

[MummyCat]

to those who need them! (specially Nyn)

My bump buddy Joey has gone off to hospital to get checked over... she's been having contractions since 3am and some as close as 5 min apart. She's due in 5 days! 2nd Nov

I was contracting this morning, 7-10 min apart. Still coming about 10 min apart but not progressing much more than that!

I'm due tomorrow... who knows... might have a baby on it's due date!

 

[Michieb]

Happy Last day at work huggles!!! Quite jealous - I have 9 more days!!! njoy some time before the sticth comes out!!

Sheryl - Babygurl & Sunflower - Happy full term!

Sorry Nyn that shse missed your appt - i hope you can reschedule!!

Mrs Aj - i hope those contractions either lead to something or at least give you a break to get some rest!!!

Happy almost due date Mummy cat! Hope they lead to something!!

AFM - went to dr yestserday - he thinks Cristiano may have turned breech (heart beat was very high above my belly button) to which i said no biggie i'm having a c section - to which he quickly replied - no that means a bigger cut and harder to get baby out!!
Since he had been head down since 28 weeks - he ordered another US for next week - to be sure - said its hard to tell between butt & head - so we will see :\ Said baby will definitely be at least 8lbs - Carina was 8lbs 14oz - so i had asked about weight because i didnt buy any newborn clothes this time since with her i didnt use any of them - I also asked him about the contractions i am getting at night - he said thats normal - especially at night because that is when your adrenal glands stop producing (something i forgot the name) and it causes contractions - i said oh i thought it was maybe me doing too much during the day - he said no
Then he tells me hospital stay will only be 3 days! Much to my surprise as i stayed 6 days wiith my daughter!

Only one more friday till he's here!!! 14 days to go!! 2 more weekends! And i am 38 weeks today!!


Happy X weeks to all!
Have a great weekend! Thank God its Fridaay!!!!!

 

[Mrs. AJ]

Contractions eventually got to about 7 minutes apart for awhile...and then...stopped. Well still getting them randomly every 30-45 minutes, so not stopped entirely. Slowed down enough for me to sleep in between at least. Kind of frustrating, but I really didn't expect him to come this early anyway. I'd better be dilated some at least when they check me next week though!

 

[pip7890]

How frustrating Mrs AJ. It's all positive though as clearly everything is getting ready for action!

I saw my midwife today and she reassured me that I don't have to be confined to the house in case my waters break (because of the polyhydramnious) and that the risk of the cord dropping down into the pelvis before the baby's head is very slim. I feel so much better for that as I've arranged to meet friends tomorrow in York (about a 40 minute drive away) who are travelling from all around the country and get my hair cut and coloured on Monday on Teesside (about a 1hr 15 min drive away).

Good luck to all the ladies labouring at present.

[tlh97990]

i need to get my hair done, eye brows waxed, and probably a mani and pedi this weekend or monday on my day off since im sure itll be awhile before i can do any of it again

 

[wtt :)]

Happy 39 weeks michieb! Happy full term sunflower & Amanda!
Nyn! Good luck that this is the start of something for you, Robin!
Yay for the last day of work Huggles!

 

[babyhopes2010]

scan on monday and possible induction

 

[tlh97990]

so in other countries (other than the U.S.) do they routinely induce before 39 weeks in non emergency situations? Ive done a lot of research and talked to multiple doctors and everything has said it isnt safe to induce before 39 weeks unless theres something wrong with the mom/baby that cannot hold out to 39 weeks

 

[Sun_Flower]

As far as I'm aware they don't routinely induce in the UK unless its medically needed or past 40 weeks... I could be wrong though xx

 

[babyhopes2010]

they dont routinely induce atall in uk.mine would be for medically reasons baby is measuring 4weeks ahead and weighed 8lb4 a few weeks ago.iv also got polyhydronies as well.
im 38 weeks monday so they may book a date for the end of the week or next week.
