~~++October Bumpkins 2012++~~

[Hopeful42nd]

Wow 9 days! Crazy!! U ready?

 

[Flutterly]

Errrr I think so!! I think his moses basket tried to be delivered today so hoping I'm here when they try again tomorrow!! Once that is here then yes, I think we are!!!

 

[fifi-folle]

Wow 9 days until the first October Bumpkin baby! Unless anyone pops sooner

 

[Lady-K]

Great pics Mel!

Wow Flutterly - great to have an actual date sorted.

My bump's got a lot smaller, think it must have dropped, can't really tell though!

 

[Leikela]

Head down but not yet engaged! !
This also put my fundal height up 5cm from last week when he was transverse. Just shows how position can impact fundal height!

That is great he is now head down! Getting so close!

I just want to cry, my back is killing and everytime I walk I either feel my waters are going to burst or my back is going to break lol. Im so figity and cannot rest, im pacing about trying to do things but nothing is actually getting done! How can i survive the next few weeks.

You aren't alone. A lot of pregnant people feel uncomfortable as their due date gets closer. Are there any positions you can sit in that eases the pain a bit? Feel better!

Well if bubs doesn't come earlier or he decides to turn (ouch!) he will be here a week on Wednesday!!! 9 days...OMG!! His head couldn't get any closer to my ribs if he tried!!

Wow, 9 days!?! Do you have a C-Section scheduled? I cannot believe us October Bumpkins are right around the corner from giving birth! Where did the time go? All the best to you Flutterly!!

 

[Flutterly]

Yep c-section is booked!! I've got my head round it now so I'm gonna be thrown again if he does turn!!!

That's right, he is breech! I hope he turns for you but if not, good luck with everything!!! 9 days!! Wow!!

WOW! It's all go now, knew you'd be first, unless someone goes into labour before next Wednesday (and it better not me!!), cannot wait, will be stalking for your update.

Hope everyone is not too uncomfortable for everyone. I am so excited now, births are all on the horizon! My mum is going to France on Thurs and DH is going to Texas on Friday....could they have timed this any better? I need to keep this baby safely inside until at least one of them returns! Quite scared.......

Well had 34wk midwife appt today and there was good and bad news - good news is that baby has turned cephalic so yay! They also confirmed they'd faxed through my referral to the Rosie hospital in Cambridge, unfortunately when I called the rosie to confirm they had nothing and were generally useless..... West suffolk seem to think I'm off their books so I'll be having a bloody home birth at this rate!

 

[lindblum]

cheshire, did you other kids come early?

good luck flutterly, week countdown begins!

maidelyn, hope you get the hospital sorted out x

So sorry to hear about the breech baby Twinkie! It couldn't hurt to look into spinning babies and try some of those moves to maybe get that bum up and out to where it should be. C-section isn't the end of the world though; as long as baby is happy and healthy, that's all that matters.

Mel - Adorable pics!! Sounds like you might be ready to have your little girl sooner rather than later! Keep us posted!

 

[Twinkie210]

Flutterly- I should be right behind you!

I had another ultrasound to confirm that baby is still breech (and he is), so my c-section is scheduled for the 28th! But I am 2-3 centimeters dilated, so he could decide to come earlier! 10 days or less and my little guy will be here! They also estimated his weight to be 8lb 10oz, so sounds like he will be a chunky monkey!

 

[mel9996]

37 wk appt today. still head down heartbeat 145 measuring right on track. dont know if im dilated anymore didnt check that. second doctor to say she is going to weigh more than 8 lbs. strep b test was negative. bad news i have carpal tunnel in my right hand/arm but she says it should go away once she born. hope so because its horrible!! i cried last night it was so bad. my legs are cramping like crazy i pee every 2 hours and i have braxton hicks almost every night now. funny thing is when she was measuring me i was actually having one and didnt even realize it so i guess im having them more than i realized

good luck flutterly!!!

No I'm just being paranoid!!

Wow, looks like you are running up to the finish line too

I have found you need to pester to get paperwork sent anywhere. We moved to London 4 years ago and have registered my daughter with two audiologists, one in Manchester and then again here in London, but she is still getting booked to see the audiologist at Addenbrookes!!

 

[lindblum]

wow lots of babies getting ready for a september start! good luck ladies, hope everyone manages to have everything sorted before their births x

 

[Flutterly]

Had my pre-assessment today so all set now for next week! Due to go in at 8am but am 3rd up so its gonna be a hungry wait - no food from midnight and no water from 6am!

Wow, only one more day Flutterly!! You must be so excited to meet your son! I wish you all the best with everything tomorrow. Post pics when you can!

Today I had a 36 week scan and thank God baby is head down! It turns out she has a healthy sized abdomen and head which is they they thought she was transverse. She is estimated to be 6 lbs and 14 oz. at this point. I cannot believe we are all almost there!
