U r doing great. Keep up the hydration. My 2nd last scan had AFI of 6.8, which increased to 14 in 10 days. Coconut water also helps big time.

AFM, we came home yesterday and finally the feeling of being a parent of 2 is sinking in. My DS1 wants his mommy all the time so getting tricky on managing both. Thankfully I have family and support around for few days so life is easier. Baby has mild jaundice so been told to show him sunlight everyday for couple of hours. Hopefully it should resolve by itself since his poops are now yellow milky ones.

Ok, time for a catnap

I'm hoping mine improve, they gave me my medical records today to pass on to my midwife and I saw my first scan AFI was 4.4 and today was 5.2. I didn't realize just how low it was since they told me it was low normal but pretty sure that's not normal at all. She's on the 25th percentile for growth, but her arm and legs were almost 100 percentile so maybe she'll be tall.

Wow hon sounds like ure little one will be really tall. U cud have a supper model in the making right there.
My little ones head was measuring on the 98th but he only has a small head. He is alot smaller than they predicted so never trusting them scans again.
Not long hon and she will be here.


Wonder how @playgirl is getting on I keep checking for updates? Hope she is ok and baby is here.

Little man was amazing last night. He fed at 12 midnight then went to sleep and didnt wake up until 5am so I've had a good sleep.
Hope I can go home today. Just need to wait for the doctors to do the rounds.

That's the passery that gave u them contractions hon now ure getting the period cramps. Does ure back hurt? I rekon ure real contractions will start soon hon. It's such a long process and so tiring but I promise you it will be all worth it hon. Ure gonna be amazing.
Ask them for a ball and keep walking hon. Up down stairs and corridors it will help to get things going. When ure contractions start just try and keep bouncing and walking breathing through them it will bring them on stronger. U may be offered a drip to speed things up a bit. Good luck hon

Good luck for anyone getting induced! If it's any consolation with the pessary, I had that with my second and had no issues with it, and labour was only 2 hours 20 mins long if that helps!

How is everyone doing?

I’m still sweating to death until probably Tuesday! Had contractions last night 8-9 minutes apart but thankfully they eased up after drinking water and moving! I need this baby to hold off a few more days til AC is fixed!

My poor DD is so miserable too in here! We spent most of the day at the pool and came home to let. Ds nap in his crib which is like the only place he will nap. Thankfully he has a fan in his room and nice think curtains so his room is cool enough for him. We’ll be going to in laws for dinner and by the time we get home it should be late enough that it’s cooled down so we can sleep. Tomorrow we plan to be out most of the day for a birthday dinner and then I’m hoping that they’ll have this solved Monday but not getting my hopes up!

Hope things are really moving now Playgirl!

Brittany I can’t imagine dealing with that kind of heat right now. I keep seeing pictures on Instagram today from friends in parts of Canada where it got SNOW today. Crazy. It’s been much milder here, the high on Wednesday is actually 29! Sorry I don’t know what that is in Fahrenheit, it’s hot lol. Today it’s around 19.

Not much to report here. 37 weeks tomorrow, can’t believe I’m full term. They have a farm here with fall activities for kids I’d like to go to with DS before the baby comes.

Haven’t had any real contractions, get Braxton Hicks here and there but nothing crazy. I didn’t have a wink of warning with DS either, was just carrying on and boom my water broke. Hoping to keep this kid in until the 17th though!

It’s awful! I wouldn’t gladly take snow right now! We never get snow here so I’m sure my perspective is different but I have gas heat so at least we’d be comfortable lol! I’m also a winter/cold weather fan!

When did you first DS come? You sound like me! Lol just stay in a little longer baby!!

We used to live in Vancouver and snow was my FAV because we never got it, now we live in Ontario and it snows a lot haha. I still like it though

My water broke at 39+4 with him! I didn’t go into labour until the next day though so he was born 39+5

Looks like more babies next week

We have more or less settled at home. Baby's jaundice has come down considerably and hopefully will b gone soon. Next week is DH's bday and his whole family is here so will have a nice family celebration.

Still haven't thought of a name.. but my DS1 likes to call the baby cookie lol.. Born small at 5lb 14oz; 18.5inches.. Discharge weight was 5lb 9oz..so feeding well..
We go back for jabs next Thursday and hopefully he would have gained the weight back.

Happened to catch a pic of him yesterday in his sleep.. haha..

 

[playgirl666]

Goodluck..will b thinking of u

thank u, they are about to break my waters, if im not in full blown labour within 4 hours then it will be the drip, they said one way or another baby will be out today x
