October/November Conkers 2021***

Still here ladies! Today was due date but nope she’s quite snug. Did have midwife appointment and mentioned she was alittle quieter but still quite active but she wanted to make sure so get sent for a monitor, if anything she’s over active haha wouldn’t chill out. I did tell them she was only slightly quieter compared to what she was doing. Anyway they didn’t want to induce me just wait it out which is fine.

@Suggerhoney no hun I’m usually in full labour or popped by now haha. This one is taking her time

@sil
Awww hon u are tiny. I was like you with my 8 year old dd and she was 5lb 7oz at birth.
The count down is now on hon just one more week unless she comes b4 on her own.

@Mummy2Corban
Awww hon I hope u feel better soon. Its horrible being poorly especially when u have a baby to feed all night and day. Sending u big big hugs.

@ciz
This one must be supper snug.
Out of my 3 natural Labour's I went to 39+4 with my first.
My second I went 2 weeks over due.
And with my 3rd (mine and DH first baby) I was 39+6. The rest were inductions.
But how crazy how different each pregnancy can be.
I really hope she doesn't keep u waiting much longer.


I woke up bleeding yesterday and was quite heavy felt so happy but then after about a hour it stopped and just brown spotting since.
I'm getting so fed up with it. I can't go one day without wearing a pad.
I think I may stop the mini pill in the spring.
It's driving me crazy and I'm such a moody cow on it.
I mean it may improve and if it does I will stay on it longer but if I don't then I'm gonna stop it in March.
Dh said I can stop it now but I'm terrified of falling pregnant. I wudnt mind if it was a good few months down the line but it's way way too soon now so staying on it for the time being.
Even tho it's doing my head in.

@sil Sorry baby failed the stress test but least they got an induction date and it’s only next week so how exciting, how you feeling with it all?

@Mummy2Corban Sorry you been ill especially with a newborn must feel like your not getting much rest.. feel better soon

@ciz Sorry that your still pregnant, hopefully any day now

@Suggerhoney Sorry that your bleeding is all over the place.. fingers crossed it sorts itself out soon, If not is there any other contraception you can take ?

@topazicatzbet Im much bigger this pregnancy and dread to think how much weight I have to lose afterwards.. but still eating as I keep thinking I’ll start eating healthy in January after Christmas… we’re see lol

AFM - 37+5 here, no signs here’s but just achey all the time, everything hurts and I’m just tired.. ready for him to arrive but think it’s going to be a while yet but you never know

I was 5 days late with ds2 and it made me crazy. Fx you don't have to wait much longer.

Think we have just gone through a growth spurt as zac wanted to feed constantly and was very grumpy and windy. Thankfully he seems much more settled now.

Can’t imagine how you must feel right now. We’re doing alright here. Offered little man a bottle for first time he took it well even let me feed him the bottle myself.

Got rather emotional earlier today when I was telling a friend that he’s my last baby. I know would love another but just can’t do the sickness it pregnancy again.

 

[ciz]

Thanks ladies, I’m feeling ok, not too frustrated, just a bit lost I think and over thinking is there something wrong but I’m feel well, She’s moving a lot still. I just zero labour build up symptoms. Had a massive energy burst today so managed to get couple more things done.

@daniyaaq aww that’s great he took the bottle. I don’t blame you about the sickness with another. There really needs to be more support for woman about this not just oh it’s one of things you either get or don’t. It’s really takes it’s toll out on pregnant mumma’s.

@topazicatzbet only 2 days over but feeling ok. Everyone else around me are being inpatient ones including my 7year old dd hahah. I’m glad your little one has settled again.

 

[Suggerhoney]

@Penguin20
I'm only aloud progesterone only birth control so not much options

I cud have the implant but had that for 6 years and that was just as bad.
My other option wud be the Coil that has no hormones in it. Think it's the copper coil but heard lots of horror stories about that.

I'm coming off the pill in March/April and we will NTNP.
I wud like one more baby b4 I'm too old.
I'm 42 a week b4 Xmas so have decided not to leave it too long.
Was gonna hold out till 2023 but have decided to bring that forward because getting pregnant at 43 is really hard.
Have more chance at 42 so only have to put up with the pill for a few more months.
It can take 3 months for cycles to regulate after the mini pill so will be using OPKs and just going with the flow.

 

[Suggerhoney]

@ciz
I hope not much longer hon.

@daniyaaq
Aww hon bless ya. I've been so lucky with all my pregnancies and never suffered bad sickness. Are u sick with all ures? They say every pregnancy is different so u cud go For another. But I can understand u not wanting to go through that again.

So glad he did so well with the bottle.
I really want one more baby too and we will ne trying but not sure if it will happen with me being old. That makes me feel sad but we will try and hopefully it will happen.

 

[daniyaaq]

@Suggerhoney I’ve been sick all my pregnancies and it’s gotten worse with each so I don’t think my chances are good for having a sickness free pregnancy. I always say if all I had to do was labour and have a newborn I would have had 10 babies.

 

[Penguin20]

@Suggerhoney How frustrating you don’t have many options, I tried the implant when I was 18 and it made me so ill so I wouldn’t go back to that, hopefully your period sorted itself out so you know where you stand

@daniyaaq So glad he took the bottle easily and sorry he will be your last but tough pregnancies can really put you off

@ciz Hope your doing ok, hopefully not to long for you

AFM - 38 weeks today - YAY, I’m so ready for him to arrive but if he doesn’t come by tonight then it most likely best he stays cooking till Wednesday as we have some bits on over next couple days but he still seems quite high up so think I could be here another week.. I’m am getting impatient lol

 

[sil]

I’m starting to wonder if baby might come before induction day. I’m 38+5 today. I’ve had an upset stomach and diarrhea. Last night I was up from 1:00-5:00 am with contractions 7-10 min apart but then I fell back asleep and they went away. Now it’s been 5 hours with the occasional Braxton hicks but that’s it. I also feel like baby has dropped.

sooo either she comes on her own today, Tues, or wed - or Thursday is induction day. It’s so close now ahhhh

Still here

 

[topazicatzbet]

Can't believe zac is a month old already.

 

[Suggerhoney]

@sil
Bump looks bigger and definitely dropped I hope the contractions return and she comes b4 ure induction day.

@topazicatzbet
Ah he is lush hon.


Hope ure all OK.
Quick update. Harley is 11 weeks old and we had him weighed and he now weighs 10lb 8oz. .
He smiled lots today and he laughed for the first time and it was the cutest thing ever.
We spoke to a Dr about him still being a bit fussy with some feeds and about him being sick and she said it's reflux which tbh I already suspected. The colic seems to of settled alot now but we're still left with the reflux. It's not too bad but I will be glad when it's gone.

How is everyone else doing.

@ciz oh hon bless you I can't believe ure still holding on. Come on baby ure being evicted lol. Oh I do hope things start soon hon.

Anyone ready for Xmas at all? I haven't brought one thing yet sigh
