@daniyaaq im glad to hear baby boy has grown even if it isn’t much. Do you think they will give you a date on Wednesday?

 

[Mummy2Corban]

Thanks ladies! Can’t believe it’s due date! Still feel as though I’ve got a few days to go! Even though my lady bits feel bruised so I’m hoping that’s just baby really low. TMI but I got a haemorrhoid when I had my first and this week it’s decided to be painful so I’m hoping that calms down before labour. Plus we all still have coughs and colds so the longer he stays in the better as I don’t want him getting the cold!!!! But what will be will be I guess!

Yeah hopefully, don’t exactly have many other weeks left to keep doing scans. Had a crazy thought after scan today of maybe declining early induction, really want Bub to be born with no other issues or complications.

@daniyaaq i guess if they are happy with his growth and he is cooking ok then surely letting him cook for a little longer wouldn’t be a bad thing? I guess it depends how he is and how your feeling about it all!

[playgirl666]

I'm 4cm dilated, she said baby's head is very low and the waters are bulging, she said they will break on there own or they will do it, and baby will be here tonight! X

 

[Mummy2Corban]

@playgirl666 oh yeah!!!!! Super exciting! How are you feeling?

 

[playgirl666]

Just want him here safe, then go home, I'm so tired, only had about 5 hours sleep since Saturday, how r u? X

 

[Mummy2Corban]

@playgirl666 i can only imagine that you’ve not slept much. Hopefully once your waters go he will be here in no time. Once his in your arms it all feels much better. I’m ok thanks hun… feeling heavy!

@playgirl666 how exciting not much longer now!!!! Hang in there it’ll all be over soon and you’ll be holding your sweet baby.

@Weemcb26 congrats!!! Can’t wait to hear the story. Thinking of you and baby and hope you’re doing well in recovery!!!

 

[Reiko_ctu]

@Weemcb26 yay new baby! Settle in and rest up!! Congrats!

@playgirl666 not long now - stay strong hun!

@Mummy2Corban he better stay put till the colds are gone!!. We’ve all caught the croup virus Miss 5 had and the contractions the other day scared me… how can you bring a newborn home to a house full of sick kids and even a sick mom? Eek!!

@daniyaaq glad he is growing and hope he just comes at the right time!

I’m going to call my endocrinologist today about dropping sugars and getting my placenta checked.

@Reiko_ctu i know right! All my boys have coughs, colds and ear aches…. The girls not so much. Me and DH have it milder but still! I’m hoping by the end of the week everyone is just a little better otherwise I’m unsure what we can do! Plus I can’t even sit down with the pile hurting so bad. I’ve googled it and said it’s common that they get bad when baby is putting pressure on everything. Argh!

hows things with you?

Did any of you ladies get the flu shot while pregnant? I got covid and tdap and my provider is asking if I want the flu shot too. I’d love to pass along antibodies to baby but feel nervous getting 4 shots over the course of just a few months.

Ugh that is so unpleasant! I read a prenatal exercise book and they said if you’re suffering from varicosities to do kegels on all 4’s to help with the pressure!

I’ve only gotten tetanus while pregnant before sorry! We’ve never gotten the flu with a newborn but I can see having a fall baby would be miserable with the flu and it is that time of year. Sorry I’m no help!! I didn’t feel comfortable getting the Covid vaccine while pregnant but I’d probably get the flu shot since women have been getting them for years while pregnant.

So stoked on less than a month till my due date. I felt a lot of pressure on my cervix and in my bum with the contractions the other day (they’ve stopped now) and still quite a lot of pressure just walking… so I think my sweep will work. That’s 2 weeks! Eek! Gotta get on some things.

Need to do a bit of laundry for my hospital bag, need to set up crib and baby rocker/seat thing, totally clean out my van, and put the car seat in. It’s been in the garage so it’ll be dusty and need a clean too. Plus I want to harvest a bit of a colostrum in case baby has low blood sugars (never happened to my babies before though) and get a few emergency home birth supplies like a plastic sheet and some absorbent pads! Plus you know, the regular stuff like homeschool, cooking dinner, trying to keep the house clean, getting the girls to their classes (if they feel better - can’t go when they’re sniffly).

So busy!!

 

[daniyaaq]

Yeah I skipped the flu shot too. But then again we’re in spring heading into summer.

Can’t sleep out here, it’s almost 3am and been up since 12:30. Trying to figure out how I’ll make today go by faster so that it’s Wednesday and I see my OB.
