October 2012 Beans! (Due Dates List)

[tashyluv]

Well yesterday, I emptied out all our drawers and bagged things to hand in to charity, washed and put away 90% of baby things, emptied and washed nearly everything in the washing basket. I was absolutely knackered after that.

Today I think I will do the bathroom and wash everyones bed sheets, i thk I will get hubby to hoover when he comes home, hooverings a nightmare!!!!! im getting there.......slowly xxx

need to nip round to the shops first before I start...thats a challenge on its own!

Get Eenie out safe and sound and all will be forgiven!

Well, I had some rather nasty "practice" pains last night. They were about 10mins apart and lasting 25-45 seconds. Went on for about an hr. I was about to give the hosp a ring to get checked when they stopped as soon as they started! I was stood for hr and a half at Elliot's football training so perhaps baby was just moving further down? I'd rather not have to spend evenings "is this it? Is it not?"

U sound like me tashy! Lol. Especially now I'm off work, I'm aching for things to do! Bathroom has been cleaned 3 times. Floors have been hoovered and steamed every day.... Washin basket and ironing basket are both empty... And today I will tackle the leather sofa and give that a clean! Won't be doing any baby stuff til her furniture is up... I'm itching to get it done!

hello ladies!i went to the midwife this morning...I have measured bang on all the way through but today am measuring at 37 weeks...bubs is still to drop but is head down and in the right position....scary biscuits!but so exciting! I have to see her again in 2 weeks and if I'm still measuring ahead they want to scan me. Following my appointment I spoke to my boss and changed my matty leave dates... next thursday is my last day!YAY!

 

[Lisa40]

Great news islander. I had my m/w appt too today, apparently she is 'at the brim' whatever that means but not engaged yet which is good news for me as I still have 10 days left before I finish work
m/w definately thinks I'll make my due date. I've always thought this too as by my dates I'm not due until 9th and most first timers go over.
So far so good for my plans for mat leave

[Mrs.B.]

I've tidied everyday for a couple of weeks now, so I'm all cleaned out

Lisa, I was at brim at 35 then went back 2 weeks later and was 2/5ths engaged. Really interested to see if shes moved further next week (2 weeks on again)

 

[girl friday]

I had more blood last night, triage said it is probably a result if the swab they did that morning and that I should only be concerned if the blood goes from brown to red.

 

[urchin]

I'm loving how exciting our thread is getting
Not long for any of us now

 

[Flutterly]

Time is going so fast!!! I have my pre op appointment tomorrow for bloods and they'll give me all the info for the section next week! Then it's the weekend of my nephew's 10th birthday so it's going to go quick and then it'll suddenly be next week and I'll be getting ready to go into hospital!! Can't believe it!!

 

[LilOopsy]

Well, the bleed/discharge stopped before I got to the hospital, they listened to bump and monitored movement, they took bloods and a swab to look for infections and gave me anti-d. I'm taking it easy this afternoon (as easy as DS will let me anyway!), hopefully it was nothing, but it's best to be safe'

Liloopsy, any update?
xx

Sadly false alarm for me. Turned out to be nothin v.v;
12 days to go... I'm trying everything I can now!

Well, I had a midwife appointment today (community mw, not hospital) and told her what's going on with my GD ... she reckons they will bring my c-section forward to next week

Grrr... You're gonna beat meeeeee

I would like to get in on this conversation too. I have definately not had any nesting as of yet. I always nest really hard about 2 days before I go into labor. I don't even have my babies room completely done yet, so I know I won't be going into labor till it's done. I have an appointment tomorrow. I was 1 cm dilated 9 days ago, so hoping for some progress!! Happy pregnancy to everyone, we are almost to the finish line. Yay!!!!

Nesting?! What's that?! If anything I feel like I've gotten lazier in the last week than tidier haha! Her room is spotless tho...

 

[gamblesrh]

My MIL keeps saying I'm nesting but it's kinda hard to nest when you have 3 other children in your house that you have to clean up after to begin with, plus I am always doing some sort of deep cleaning in my house. Hubby and I are having sex everyday to get him here and I'm also pumping.

 

[babers]

With all three of my kids I get this unstoppable urge to just clean. I clean things you never thought needed cleaned. I have three mess makers too and it makes it hard. I am still at my super lazy point, that's why I don't think I am ready. Plus, I am still pretty early. I think I will ask my doctor to strip my membranes this morning. It has never worked for me in the passed, but it's worth a shot I guess.

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Babers, I too am 37w4d. I also just feel tired and want to do things but just have no energy for it. Grr, just want to get things moving here. Good luck with your appt today, I go tomorrow morning.

Hello ladies,
haven't posted in so long as I've been busy looking after the 2 girls I have and getting ready for this one! So exciting to see that some of us are getting really close.

AFM:
Had a bit of a scare at my appt. a few days ago. Dr. thought lo could be breech and was still measuring large so she sent me for an ultrasound right after my appt. at an internal fetal medicine specialist. Turns out lo is indeed head down. She was estimated to be at 6.5 lbs. at the scan, (at 34 weeks and 5 days). Ouch! That is all I will say about that one. I know that weights can be off but she really does feel that big. I have officially entered the pathetic stage of pregnancy now and my lower back, pelvis and hips are throbbing in wave like pains. Now is the time to forget packing the bags and order in the crane to move my butt off the couch at the touch of a button!

I got a scan at 35 weeks because they thought little guy was breech (and he is) and the estimated his weight at 7lb 4oz. I had another scan at 37 + 5 and he was still breech and was now estimated to weigh 8lb 10oz! I am scheduled for a c-section at 39+1 so I am not as concerned about his weight during delivery, but whether or not I will be walking upright by then!!! My belly is huge LOL.

I sympathize. My belly has become its own entity...always entering the room a fair bit ahead of me...I swear it needs its own side cot next to the bed!

Everyone asks when I'm due and they look shocked when I say the 25th of NEXT month. The worst is all the pressure in my hooha and butt from the weight of her. Really worried as my other 2 were tiny at only 5lbs. and 6.3lbs. so wondering if I'll be able to push this one out. I had a small tear with my 6.3 baby.

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Well I made it to 40w2d with my son but he wasn't coming out the natural way, so after c section I had my 9 lb .04 oz boy. So you'll make it, but it's definately tiring carry that around. I feel your pain ladies. At the growth scan he was estimated at 7lbs6oz.
Good luck ladies !

 

[babers]

Well I had my sweep and nothing. Not so much as a cramp. That's ok though it is still early. I am just scared I am going to have her in the car since my last baby came in 2 hours and 20 minutes and I live 40 minutes from the hospital. My husband will be out of state all next week, so I will have to wait for a ride and have my mom come stay with my kids, so who knows how long all that will take. I was just hoping to have her before he left so I wouldn't have to worry about all of that. I think I will hook up to my breast pump later tonight and see if that gets some contractions going. It always has in the past. Oh, I am 2 cm dilated and 60% effaced. I know it doesn't really tell me much, but i think it's better than being closed up like a clam!!!

 

[urchin]

Eenie is measuring big too - still within the lines, but only just!
I'm pretty glad she's coming out the sun roof tbh, as I hate to think what damage she'd cause to me chuff if she were coming out the usual route

 

[Islander]

lol last night my husband said i will be like lois in family guy and when i have this baby it will be in the newspaper as - Local Woman Gives Birth to Elephant Child lol he also asked me if I would rather have a section of be torn end from end....lol dont think he thought through what he was saying before he said it!

 

[Hopeful42nd]

OB today was ok. Baby's head is 'very low' and we start checking cervix at next weeks appt. didn't ask about a sweep as its something I never really heard of until on these sites. I don't think it's very common here. Anyways, when she checks me next week at 38w4d I'll see where I'm at and perhaps ask. I'm more concerned about forcing something too early without my cervix being ready and ending up with another section.
