@ciz that’s amazing!!!! Haha! Poor DH clearly thought he was winning! Haha! Hopefully just miss read measurements rather than dropping that much. Fingers crossed all is ok with your next scan and you get MLU. Midwife led is much nicer than the drs interfering! I was lucky I had a lovely midwife with Hudson but it definitely felt more clinical than the MLU

I have spent my day feeling suspiciously energetic, went on walks 3 times, danced around house with girls. I’ve also had BH that I couldn’t walk through, had to stop and let it pass. can you tell how I’m so chill and not labour sign spotting? :rofl:
It’s after 11pm, I’m in bed now with some more contractions, going to try to sleep. I have OB appointment tomorrow afternoon.
 
@daniyaaq its hard not to look for signs! Because I’ve always been late and never had BH or lost plug etc I’d given up looking for signs! Haha! I wonder if this is something! Hopefully you do get some rest
 
Hubby has agreed to try for one more in a few years, i would prefer to try in about a year or so before I get to old! Raidens birth was so traumatic that I technically died for a few seconds but I will do it all again x
 
@daniyaaq get OB to check your cervix today and see if it’s dilating at all maybe. Sometimes a cervix check even without a sweep (would he do one?) will get things moving. Your symptoms do sound promising at least for some labour this week sometime. Our bodies are strange things!

No movement here but when I got up to go pee once in the night I literally could not get anything out due to her head completely blocking my bladder or urethra or something. I had to shift so many positions before I could get it out XD. So her head was down suppper low at that point. Did some kegels when I was back in bed to shift her up a tiny bit. Wondering if I may not make it till 39 weeks if she’s sooo low. I’m a bit worried about a prolapse to be honest, the cervix being so low but no signs of labour. I didn’t think your cervix would be low till you were in labour.
 
Thanks everyone. Finally got home around 6pm. I got no sleep at all last night due to zac constantly wanting to feed and the noise of the ward. The ward was not a good experience. Im totally exhausted and in a fair bit of pain so I'm relieved to be home. His big brothers love him to pieces.

I’m sure it’s nice to be home again. Congrats again. He’s adorable
 
@topazicatzbet
So glad ure home hon. I must admit the ward definitely is no fun and so noisy. It's always good to get home.

@Mummy2Corban
It's heart wrenching.
I don't know if I'm being selfish wanting to try for one more. I definitely cant do it any time soon with Harley being so young.
I will be 43 when we try and is that being selfish on the baby. Should we start ttc in the spring or summer when I'm still going to be 42?
Think if it happens and I get pregnant and give birth in 2023 at 43 then by the time that child is 10 years old I will be 53.
Am I being selfish?

@playgirl666
Urr still so young hon. Plenty of time although I wud love it if u did try in a year because it qis be so so cool being pregnant with u again and in the same due date group again.
Can u imagine hehe.

He’s absolutely gorgeous. Praying you can catch up on some sleep these next 24 hours and the pain calms down a bit. Keep on top of your meds - don’t let them wear off before getting another dose in you!!
 
Had a bit of brown mucus but must’ve been stuck up around my cervix from the sweep yesterday. Nothing else apart from feeling like poo today.

@daniyaaq any more bursts of energy? Getting anything done? Any new signs of possible labour today??

Yep still got energy, sorting out DD1 room and closet. The baby bag I was dreading to pack has been repackaged twice. It’s only 2pm. I’m about to go to my appointment and then do some shop stops.
 
@topazicatzbet he is gorgeous! Isn’t it lovely seeing their siblings loving on them. Sorry the ward wasn’t good and you couldn’t rest. Hopefully now your home you’ll be able to catch up on a bit of sleep.

@daniyaaq getting things sorted and organised is a good sign right? How did your appointment go?

@Reiko_ctu wow! Baby girl is low! Never fun not being able to wee. Sounds like she is locked and loaded ready to go! Go! Go! Hopefully she doesn’t leave you waiting too long!

@Suggerhoney i guess it’s all down to how you feel isn’t it. If you and DH are happy with your decision that’s all that matters right?
 
@daniyaaq im so pleased you have some energy even if it doesn’t mean labour is imminent… just checking things off your list will feel good and help you be more prepared for baby!

my baby has been so ridiculously active tonight. It’s going on 2 hrs of somersaults around my tummy. Tomorrow my big girls go to their homeschool class so me and my little one will grab a Starbucks and come home and tackle the hall closet full of junk.

DH took the infant car seat out of the garage… it’s been In there for 2 years and he hadn’t covered it or anything! It’s a dusty mess and I need to tackle that tomorrow too. If baby comes tonight (not counting on it!) DH will have to bring the cordless vacuum to the hospital and clean it all up before we go home XD. Wondering if I can remove and wash the fabric. Will have to google.
 
@Reiko_ctu we had the same thing with our car seat but I managed to remove the cover so it got a wash. I done my kitchen cupboards and got rid of loads of stuff in the weeks leading up to baby.

Hudson is 2 weeks! I feel as though I was never pregnant and he has been here since forever!
 
Appointment went alright. Didn’t get to do anything I planned to do after because they wanted to do a CTG on baby. All was good. Some concern about cord. They want an ultrasound Monday to check that plus placenta. My bloods showed possible issue with liver function so then got to give more bloods.

My OB said I can request an induction at any point otherwise they happy to let Bub decide with monitoring. I choose to wait and see, if I can increase chances of healthy baby who goes straight home I’d rather that than risk complication for him.

Came home thinking I’m tired and going to rest, couldn’t so did some more sorting and cleaning whilst dancing, trying to help DD1 with dinner but she wouldn’t let me.
