@Reiko_ctu you go girl! Poor DH I said no way to sex the last two or so weeks! And now i can verify why I said I felt to heavy and swollen down there!!!! I’m hoping that your plan gets this baby moving. What date is your sweep?

Uh yes no wonder! You were supporting a lot of weight!! A week today is my sweep.

Ah hon I was the same with Tommy and Harely when my milk came in I felt so guilty because I cudnt breastfeed. I really wanted to as well but like u I cudnt because of my medication.
My boobs were so big and sore for about 2 days and then they started to soften and be less painful. But that boob pain when the milk comes in is awful. At least we can take the codeine now when ever we need it.
I read that cabbage leaves help and also cold compress. I cudnt do those 2 things tho because I was still in hospital.


@sil and @Reiko_ctu lovely bumps ladies.
I miss my bump alot but I'm glad he is here.

@topazicatzbet not long now before bub.

@Reiko_ctu and @sadeyedlady we should start bets on which one of you will go first

 

[sadeyedlady]

@Reiko_ctu That sounds like a good plan to be honest. Tmi but we discovered that semen was causing painful contractions for me so DP has been pulling out the last few weeks (which I hate). Thats gonna have to change lol

@daniyaaq I think @Reiko_ctu will be first as I cant get a sweep until 41 weeks. I bet your little man will be here before ours!

 

[daniyaaq]

@sadeyedlady i actually don’t know about that. A bit like @Reiko_ctu I do sometimes feel like I have no legitimate reason to bring him out early.

we will see Wednesday. I actually got my appointment confirmation and turned out they booked me in specifically with director of O &G at our hospital. So naturally I’m overthinking why they needed to bring in the director, surely he could sign off on anything based on my file right?

 

[daniyaaq]

I’m other news, I’m so used to girls that when I try to talk to the baby I say baby girl every single time. Let’s hope I get used to (… baby boy doesn’t roll off the tongue easy…) I fear this child will grow up confused if I don’t get my act together soon.

Yup the same issue with semen for me - I think it was last weekend I was having those contractions?? Just BH but they hurt. So I bought a box of condoms and we used 1 this week XD and now it’s time to bring on the contractions haha.

Oh I would be so confused. I definitely said baby girl before we even knew it was a girl, just out of habit. Now I mostly just call her by her name or if we’re out and about I just say baby. Hopefully once he comes out you’ll be able to get past the girl part XD.

Hopefully with the director you’re just getting the best care they can offer and it’s not because you’re a concerning case!?! Maybe they feel they need to reassure you because it’s been so rough. I hope he’s had a good amount of growth!

 

[Reiko_ctu]

Had midwife today but nothing to do. Just a BP and HR check, baby is “LOT” which means lying on left apparently and that’s the best position for labour according to her! 6 days till my sweep and I’m second guessing it! Maybe I should wait till my 39+2 appointment!! Baby is measuring right on track so I’m guessing at 40 weeks she’ll be about 7-12 like my others.

 

[Mummy2Corban]

@Reiko_ctu its a tricky one but I guess the sweep will only work if she’s ready anyway? Chances are it might not work and you’ll have to wait till your next appointment anyway?!

How is Hudson a week old already?

We need more baby spam please.

 

[daniyaaq]

@Reiko_ctu get that sweep girl.

Had my appointment. We agreed to hold off on any induction for now. Our little town is on fire with Covid and our hospital is small. 2 new babies caught Covid whilst in hospital, that’s a bit scary. I’m hoping it cools down soon. Only down side is I’m not having monitoring every other day plus weekly ultrasounds

 

[playgirl666]

Can't belive raiden is a week already! Spent most of his 1st week in hospital! Here's a pic I took of him in mid yawn lol x

 

[playgirl666]

Baby boy xx

 

[Penguin20]

@playgirl666 he is adorable

@Mummy2Corban Can’t believe it’s been a week hope your doing ok

@Reiko_ctu It is a tough decision but sweeps don’t always work so if it does work maybe it was meant to be

AFM - 33+3 today - ribs have been hurting but he’s also kicking and dropping on my bladder so he’s having a great time haha, 11 and half working days left then maternity.. I booked a lot of annual leave over next few weeks so not doing any full weeks now till I finish.. yay

hope all the new mums doing ok and all the pregnant ladies getting through the last few weeks.

 

[sadeyedlady]

Had midwife appointment today. Everything fine and baby is engaged. Earliest I can get sweep is 40+2 and that can be booked at 39 week appointment.

Had sex last night and was getting BH for most of the night so gonna try and have sex everynight until baby arrives. Raspberry leaf tea ordered and should be here tomorrow.

Tomorrow is my last day at work and I CANT WAIT!!!

 

[Reiko_ctu]

At my midwife lately every single woman has had her DH with her! My DH hasn’t ever been to a midwife appt in 4 babies lol.

anyways, yes you guys are right the sweep won’t work unless baby is ready, right!? I just realized that my 38 week baby is the one with all the respiratory issues and my later term kiddos don’t deal with that and now I’m thinking I might be putting her health at risk by being so desperate to get her out!!

But today I’m feeling I should get her our sooner than later again because I’m
Having a hard time with my eating, and if I can’t keep sugars down that’s not safe for her either.

anyways, at least we know @topazicatzbet will be having baby next week!! 5 days!?! So exciting.

@sadeyedlady what’re you thinking - baby coming a bit early or will you need that sweep?

@daniyaaq so no induction at 37 for you - will they do a later date or is it just monitoring?

 

[Reiko_ctu]

@Mummy2Corban has your chubby little guy kept up his weight or has he lost a bit!?

 

[sadeyedlady]

@Reiko_ctu Definitely need that sweep. I wouldn't be that lucky lol

 

[topazicatzbet]

I have my last midwife appointment tom, it will be the second time I ve seen my assigned midwife. Can't imagine it will be anything special.

I'm going out Fri night for my friends 40th then sat will be putting up the next to me crib. I should get a call on Sunday telling me what time I need to be there on Monday.
