Good to hear your check up went well!! Looking forward to mine, mine moves to every 2 weeks now, hurrah it's the final stretch. Hope your monkey turns in time for your natural birth.

Good weight gain too!!! I only knowing as stone, put on 2 stone eeeek x

 

[addy1]

I just looked it up, 16lbs equals just over a Stone (1.14)

 

[Glowstar]

Glad your check up went well but hope she turns

Last time I weighed myself I'd put on 21lbs but I think it's probably closer to 24lbs now

 

[Cornish]

Hope she turns for you! Ahh we're all getting so close, I'm so excited!
Weight gain, err, I don't own scales but have to be weighed next week as birthing centre checks how much you've gained-too much weight = no birthing centre! Got my bloods today, hate needles but getting used to them now!x

 

[firsttimer1]

think ive put on 24 pounds.... same as Glow. I had aimed to put on 2 stone (28 pounds total)! Oops.

Hi there Ladies

Its good to hear that everyone is doing well and having good check ups. To the ladies with breech babies, i know how you feel. My little booger is still breech and I just have a feeling that she will not want to turn. Time will tell I suppose.

Neat info on the RLT and the dates. I had heard about RLT but not dates and oddly I have been craving dates. I have been eating them everyday for almost a week now. I like dates but they are not something I eat everyday. Interesting.

Had a good check up yesterday. Lost quite a bit of weight from last checkup and it seems that morning sickness has came back for me. Have been vomiting and not feeling like eating and doc wants me to take Phenagren. I dont really wanna take it so im just making sure that im keeping enough food down and staying hydrated. Its working so far, although I did fill the prescription this time because honestly I have been really uncomfortable and wanna have it around in case. Hayley is doing well, she moves tons and it feels like she is so strong. She wakes DH up on occasion smashing up against his back in one of her big active spells. He says he loves it

Oh btw found out my mom and my mil are throwing me a shower. They have been cooperating and set everything up and I havent had to do anything. Bless em. They normally dont really hang out or talk much, makes me a little suspicious really Feb 11 is the date, lol I think I will be almost 37 weeks then.

Girls have a wonderful week, anyone with checkups hope they go smoothly.

Hi all, hope these breach babies turn for you all! What will they do if they dont, do they still turn babies or just give a c section?

My bubs is still back to back, but i am sure it turns all the time, i have so many hard lumps on my tummy they cant all be baby? plus i think i may give birth to an octopus, i seem to be kicked/poked from all sides?

i have mw every 2 weeks now aswell, so exciting!

Are all bags now packed? I keep buying extra bits i think of, may well need a suitcase!!

Have a good weekend everyone. xx

Some women opt to try and turn their babies. I think it is called an ECV. It is not something I am willing to do, but others find it is a good option. I was really hoping to avoid a c-section this time just because it would be a second major surgery. There are so many risks that come with it. Also, I have an almost 3 year old daughter than will be affected by this. I won't be able to hold or play with her like normal for a few weeks after birth, which really upsets me. She is so little and won't really understand. We are so close and she is such a mommy's girl.

But on the same hand, I am willing to do whatever it takes to bring this little one safely into the world.

The thought of a vaginal birth terrifies me as well, but was/am willing to give it a shot if this little one decides to turn.

I've been having accupuncture from the month I got pg, she seems to think when I have my next season at 34 weeks and if he's still breech she can sort it. Be interesting to see if she can as I really don't want him turned either and the thought of a c section scares me.

 

[Cornish]

Sorry to hear of all your breech babies, I've only head of being on all fours as much as possible to help turn baby.
Weighed myself last night and I've gained 24lbs so far, sure that'll shoot up in the next few weeks! Within normal range so it's good I suppose, just hope I give birth to most of it!
Xx

 

[firsttimer1]

my babies been head down since week 25.... will be typical if they turn now but think its unlikely.

is moving LOADS now.... not jabs but lots of turning and shuffling.... i love it and am really going to miss the feeling when baby is here But of course, baby will be HERE

 

[ttclou25]

Happy 35 weeks cornish - Im so excited for things to start happening soon for us ladies

I have now officially decided the fundal measurement is pure crap!! I had my 31 week appointment today and im measuring 32cm - well i was 34cm 2 weeks ago. What a load of rubbish this measurement is.... Everything else was all good and i got A* on my iron levels lol

 

[firsttimer1]

Lou - thats crazy, as ur fundal cannot go DOWN can it??

congrats on a good appt - and A* iron levels

 

[Cornish]

Whoop 35 weeks! I want my baby in 14 days please!
I was told fundal height can drop when baby engages but I'm still sure it's all a load of estimates!
I'm achy and large-nothing new! Getting some serious bh and inner cervix pains but nothing exciting.x

 

[addy1]

Hi ladies!

So quiet around here! Hope you are all feeling well....or as well as you can at 30+ weeks!!

Sleep is still something I struggle with, and my hips are so sore!! I can't wait to be done work.....just a couple weeks left!! Life will be so much easier once I can just stay home! I am just too tired by the end of the day!

 

[Cornish]

Hope your couple of weeks go quickly addy! I'm getting hip pain too, think I'm just too heavy to be on my side all night!
Had midwife yest, still measuring big and still engaged. She thinks I'll go to about 38 weeks so I'm quite excited. Baby is in op position so hoping he turns during labour.
Onto 3 cups of RLT now!xxx

 

[Glowstar]

Woo hoo - gosh, maybe only a couple more weeks left for some of you ladies!!

My maternity pay started couple weeks ago but Ill be working up to the day I drop, I just can't step away from it I guess it's cos it's my company I get worried leaving it. I'll be working through start of labour too and back to work next day.
