WISH I WAS GETTING EARLY LABOUR PAINS! lol

My appt today was a whole lot of nothing really.... saw the consultant and sods law... im now measuring spot on!!! she felt my tummy and said baby feels normal. So i didnt get scanned or anything exciting lol xxx

baby is still floating free but i know engagement doesnt really mean much so im not too bothered about that.

Has anyone else found they can feel their LO move alot MORE now - rather than a decrease in movements?? i do!

 

[essie0828]

Go Cornish Go!!! Yay for early signs Let us know how things get along.

 

[Cornish]

Still no baby or anything too exciting. Lots of pains and tightenings but on and off rather than consistent. Off for another walk shortly.

Ft sorry you didnt get an extra scan but glad lo is doing well.xx

 

[firsttimer1]

im actually kinda glad, as i would have panicked if they wanted to scan me.... if that makes sense. Also, i was worried i would find out the gender Imagine finding out at 36 weeks!! LOL

how is everyone today? My LO is having a quiet day after being VERY active for a while. Maybe they are finally squished

good luck in your attempts to meet cornish... enjoy your long walk! xxx

 

[suffolksarah]

Hope the walk starts things cornish.
Glad everything is good firstimer.
Just had 38 midwife appointment, she came to my house, i had a totally top to bottom clean of the house, thinking she would want to see where baby will sleep, but she only came in the lounge!
Baby measuring term, according to my notes and head engaged. I hope baby comes soon, hips are killing me! Cant wait to meet this lil baby! xx

Hey ladies!

Had my scan today and all is well....baby is head down and weighing approx 5lbs so a decent weight and all measurements are just above 50th centile

Sounds like we might have some babies on this thread in the next few days

 

[essie0828]

Awww still no babies, poo. Cornish you dont sound far away though. Walk it out girl, and get some while you can.

Suffolksarah, Yay on baby being engaged. Hope you get labor going soon to.

Lou I dont think that I have heard of anyone going past 40w here. I dont know if its just the part of the country that I am in or what but they like to get em out kinda early. As a matter of fact I cant think of anyone that I know personally that got to 40 weeks.

Well girls had my check up today and baby is engaged but no other progress to report other than the doc felt her and said "wow". Then he trots over to my chart and is lookin up what her weight was at last scan, 3 weeks ago, and says that he wants to scan me again next week or before labor. So I think that I got a big baby growing in there and after the scan we will decide on a course of action. Im going with the older doc, he is just sooo freakin calm about everything. I told him I was worried about her size and he was really good at putting me at ease. Still looking at a possible induction or c-section but im cool with that if she is big. But im gonna tell him if I have to go through an induction or a section that he better put me on a shift with good nurses and a good epidural guy. Think Ill try to bribe him with Starbucks. Now just gotta pack a bag, for me and Hayley and do about a thousand things around the house. Good Luck Ladies. If anyone goes into labor I hope that its easy and pain free.

i was just saying on the march mama thread that all my friends whove given birth have done so before 40 weeks.... strange eh? but at the same time, i know i will go over due. I can just feel it! 42 weeks here i come!!!

Hope your all well xxxx

Hi girls!

Glad you all seem to be feeling alright! (Other than the normal pregnancy aches and pains!)

I am not feeling that great, but I know it is because I am still working. I have one more day tomorrow, and I am taking a sick leave. I can't wait to be done. I am so exhausted by the end of the day. I can't even explain how tired I am right now.....I just feel numb! I want to spend the next three or more weeks with my daughter and resting up before baby comes. I am 35 weeks tomorrow, and had my dd at 38 weeks.....maybe this little one will be early too! (Wishful thinking!!)

I can't believe how close you all are to holding your babies!!

Awww hopefully you will get to see your little bundle before 42 weeks. I kinda felt the same way but knew from the way they were talking about the size of the baby so early in pregnancy that I may have to go a bit early. I really feel like she would just stay in there forever but the doc is gonna evict her im pretty sure. Wonder if this is an indicator of how she will be, come college time. Ha, mama pushinhg her out the house.

 

[essie0828]

Addy hang in there hun. One more day..... I feel for ya dear. Hope that you get a wonderful 3 weeks off with your DD. Im sure she will love the mommy time before baby gets here.

 

[Wyntir]

Hi girls, I feel bad cos i'm constantly forgetting to post in this thread.

Everyone seems to be doing well here. We had a scan this morning, baby is a boy and everything seeming healthly

 

[essie0828]

Awesome news on your little man Wyntir Glad to see that you are well and that baby is doing good. Welcome to the waiting game.

Ok roll call. Cornish, SS, Tims, all the feb ladies. Any babies yet???? LOL I must be the only obsessed lass stalking BNB every second that I get.

Work almost killed me last night. Actually the last 2 nights have been almost too much to cope with. And I am getting bigger within the last 2 days. Belly is noticiably bigger, hubby was nice enuf to remind me of that , the turd, and the top of my belly button popped out. So now I have this part innie, part outie, nasty looking bellybutton Surely that means that she is done Ahh but all jokes aside I am hoping that this is early labor. havent had any real contractions, some pretty strong BH tho and I am just so sore in my tummy and back. TMI alert, I have stayed in the bathroom with loose stools for the last 2 days as well. OMG I hope that this means she is ready and my body is preparing for it. Lets go baby!

Btw getting our first real snowfall of the year and possibly the only one that we will have this year. Cant wait to see it, think that Im gonna make a preggo snowgirl and put her in the front yard.

 

[Cornish]

Go essie-all sounding good for baby getting ready.
I've been on less as had nothing to write! No baby coming yet! I had regular contractions (I thought they were contractions anyway) for a few nights but nothing since so I avoided bnb a bit in the hope he might start coming-it didn't work. Can't believe I'll be 39 weeks soon! Baby's put on 8oz a week at the stage!!!!!!

 

[suffolksarah]

Oh no, Cornish, i dont want baby to put on much more weight, mw thinks it will be about 8.5lb.

no contractions here, been taking so much rrlt capsules. 6 a day, max dose according to the bottle. i thought it was loads but thats what the mw recommended.

Have a good Sunday girls xx

hope you dont get snowed in Essie!

 

[Glowstar]

It's getting exciting everyday I check I think there might be a baby.....c'mon babies where are you!!

 

[essie0828]

Aww Cornish hope he makes his entrance soon. SS yours to. 8.5lb is a big But I think that they are sooo cute when they have chubby lil legs ughh not so cute for pushing out tho

Hmm now where is Timsogal? Shes due pretty soon too I think. Oooh cant wait to see who goes next.

Nothing new to report here. Just an upset tummy and an impatient hubby lol. He was so wishing that I would go into labor today so he didnt have to go to work. Ha. Keeps asking if my water has broke. I told him that he would be the first to know that So im still waiting on an ultrasound thursday to check on babys size and then........who knows. Hoping I will have a baby by this weekend Btw had a question, Hayley has slowed down on her movements a lot. I still feel her but not as often and it seems like just little wiggles. No kicking or jumping. Is she just runnin out of room? Cornish is your bubba acting like this? SS?

 

[essie0828]

Btw love how my ticker says baby is over 6 lbs. Hayley was 6.5 almost 4 weeks ago according to ultrasound.

 

[addy1]

Well, I've finished work, which is a great relief for me. I still have a couple things left I have to do, but not having to actually be at work while doing them will help!

Hi Wyntir! Good to hear from you!

So nice that some of you are so close! Can't believe you will be 39 weeks Cornish!! That is great!

I can honestly say I am not ready yet....I need a couple more weeks at home with DD and to get ready now that I am done work.

Good luck with the snow Essie! We have snow here from around Nov/Dec to March. It has been unusally warm here though, so not complaining!! I've also had an upset stomache lately, not sure what that means though!! Baby's movements are supposed to slow down towards the end as they settle in farther down. She must be getting ready for her big appearance!!

My BH are out of control lately though! I am getting them so many times a day. Nothing painful, just noticable.

Good luck everyone, hope to hear some birth stories soon!

 

[essie0828]

Ughh snow was a big flop addy. Was forcasted to get 4 to 8 inches and barely saw a snowflake It seems like we have had several mild winters around here. I actually miss the snow. Seems like 20 yrs ago we would have snow on the ground for a good month or more in winter and this year we have had less than an inch of snow. Pathetic. Feel like im living in Florida
