My day took a stressful turn. Went to my 35 week midwife appointment this morning which all was good, measuring 35 weeks. Though had a growth ultrasound at the hospital today and they told me not to go home until they checked something with the midwife. Then I ended up going to L&D for monitoring and my midwife told me that my scan revealed still normal but fluid on the low side and a missing kidney. Which was odd since there were 2 normal sized kidney's at my 20 week scan so they couldn't confirm if it's even a problem or not. I need to go get re-scanned at a bigger hospital this week sometime and go back on the monitors every 2 days to check on baby who is still doing great so far. I hope they don't need to induce me before 38 weeks at the earliest.

Now I'm confused and worried. At least even if she only does have 1 kidney she can live a perfectly normal life, but the OB and midwife agreed that a normal kidney at 20 weeks can't just disappear like that so I'm hoping it was just a bad ultrasound. Fingers crossed.

Hope all works out okay! But like you said 1 kidney is fine if it's the outcome!

Okie so I’ve been having a hard time keeping up haha, those ladies still waiting - can we write who’s going naturally and who’s waiting on a section/to be induced?

I have a planned section Oct 17. If I go earlier we’ll just have to see what happens. So still another 3 weeks to go for me!

Due the 11th and going natural. Next midwife appointment is on the 9th at 39+5 so hopefully get offered a sweep and induction date.
 
So all caught up finally! Cant believe I went off for a few days and missed so many birth announcements haha! So again congrats to everyone who's little babies are here and good luck to all us still waiting, especially those with concerns!

AFM I lost a bit of my mucus plug yesterday but it was clear so not my bloody show. Hopefully it's the start of something and doesn't regenerate at this stage. Had what a bad cold since yesterday too and today have had the worst stomach ever. Have lived on the toilet (tmi sorry) and haven't stopped vomiting aswell so fingers crossed it's the clear out that people talk about before labour. Praying I don't go overdue!
 
Totally hit a new level of nesting this pregnancy during the afternoon today! Picked DD up from school and her and ds played in her room really well for several hours so I literally did tons of laundry, swept, mopped and vacuumed all the floors throughout the house, dishes, picked up toys and blankets, groomed the dogs and got together a few more things for our hospital bag. I’m going to cut DH hair as soon as he is finished mowing the grass and then get the kids some dinner and bathed before getting a shower myself and attempting to shave my legs and such just Incase he makes me go over to hospital tomorrow which I really don’t feel like I will need to! I checked my blood pressure and it’s been great all day! My swelling in my feet hasnt been terrible today either even with being on them cleaning, I’m sure they’ll get there in the next few hours but overall today has been a good productive day!

Too bad my littles will destroy it in .5 seconds! We’ll see how tomorrow goes!

Good luck to everyone!
 
I’m the same way Brittany, but I feel like I’m always nesting haha. I like the house to be clean, and we’ve finally gotten the yard work done for the season (thank goodness). There’s only a small handful of things left to do before the baby comes!

We went and bought DS some things from Carter’s today - oh my word is it expensive. We’ve been coasting off of baby shower gifts for him all this time, but we’re starting to run out of his size now. All I bought was a pack of socks, a pair of shoes and those baby jeggings and it was $80! Anyways, he really needed everything so it was fine, but still. I can appreciate more now having another boy because at least they can share everything! I wanted to buy a winter jacket for him too but that was $125 by itself (!!)

I’m going to check Winners or maybe see what I can find second hand. He grows out of things so fast, it seems like a waste to spend that much on a jacket he’ll only wear for a couple of months. But he does need something as we’re getting into colder weather.

Had my last consult with the OB today, he signed a paper for me confirming that if I go into labour early they will still attempt a section. So I’m happy about that. I’m booked in at 8am which is the first slot, so apparently that’s a good thing haha.

Can’t believe it’s only 3 weeks away! Been soaking up all the cuddles with my son, it’s hard to imagine how everything is going to change soon.

Drink lots of water. I was drinking 4-5 litres everyday and my fluid increased dramatically.. even my gynaec said post csec that fluid was a lot..

I'm drinking tons of water in hopes it increases for Fridays scan. NST today went great. I was probably dehydrated during my last ultrasound so hoping it was just that and not a lack of kidney causing the lower levels.
 
Congrats sugger!
I’m so jel of everyone having all these exciting things happening!!

Officially starting operation get this baby out today! X
 
Goodluck @playgirl666 ..hope it's soon your turn..

We r kinda bored now in hospital, itching to go home.. Baby is doing fine.. eating, popping well..
Routine is setting in slowly.


Btw he failed his hearing test done at 36 hours but doc said its expected since c-sec babies retain a bit of fluid in their ears fr 2-3 days ..so we gotta follow up in 3 weeks..
With my DS1, hearing test wasn't conducted in our hospital.. still not mandatory in my country..

Let me know your experiences, if any. Tia
 
Update!
Appointment today was good!
Blood pressure was 134/84 so no higher and he was happy with that
Blood work came back perfect!
Urine sample was good
NST was good
Checked cervix still 1cm but it’s more anterior and baby’s head is about 1/2” from pushing me into dilating to about 3cm so babybis definitely on the move down which is great because Monday baby was still high up!

We’re keeping Wednesday’s induction date with the likely hood of a baby on Thursday 10/3! And he will not be breaking my waters unless I’m around 6cm and they haven’t broken on their own yet!

I do have one final appointment with him Monday and he’ll do all the normal checks and strip my membranes!

Overall, great news for me and I should either 1) go into labor on my own between now and the. Or 2) at least make it to my preferred date of 10/2 or 10/3 and get my October baby around 39+2/3 like I had predicted!!!
 
been losing my bloody show/plug all day, had some painfull contractions this morning but the eased off! being induced tomorrow, just hope im not waiting all day for a time to go in x
