PAL Summer 2011 Babies - From 1st tri to MC and back again in one go.

[sequeena]

Oh Emma congratulations!! And finally!!

I'm not going to go early, just know it I'll be induced at 42 weeks!!

 

[Pippin]

Pip I think Atti is wayyyy too tucked in to want to come out right now LOL I've my consultant appt. today so hopefully I'll get a sweep if my cervix is favourable. I always think that's such a funny saying "favourable" lol I'm easily amused this morning!!

Good luck hope they can. I've never asked for one before can a MW do it at your regular appointments or do you have to have a consultants app like you are? I have this feeling all of us are going to go over to be honest. Think it's a trait of this thread hehehehe

 

[Aaisrie]

Pip a mw can do it, it just depends on where you are as to when. Some places won't do them until you're 41 weeks but also it depends on your cervix if it's too high or too closed then they can't. My mw tried on Friday but mine was too high for her to reach. It's just a natural way if helping things along, ifbaby isn't ready a sweep won't work x

 

[Barbiebaby]

Congratulations Emma, beautiful name. x

Asked mw this afternoon about possibility of a sweep and she said she'd do it at 40 weeks, hoping it doesn't come to that. sooo cheesed off with it now, my son was 10 days early so I felt for sure this one would be. She's fully engaged in perfect position and I'm measuring 37cms at 38+5 so hopefully this one won't be a whopper.

Hope everyone else is doing well, WE NEED MORE BABIES TO ARRIVE!!! x

 

[Pippin]

I agree BB!!! Hope you don't have to get that far and go soon. These last weeks are a bit trying aren't they My little lady has been head down and fully engaged since 38 weeks, so many people said I wouldn't be long but here I am three days from due date I think mine is going to be a whooper, she feels huge compared to Sam!!!

 

[Pippin]

Thanks Aaisrie, always knew what they were but mw's don't really mention where we get them where I go. Only time I heard anything was at the hospital when I went to the day assessment unit, they had booked someone in there, she had to sign consent forms which I thought was a bit ott (unless there was something wrong I suppose).

 

[Emmea12uk]

Happy due date eve!! Glad you are still relaxed and not going crazy like I was!

Thank you everyone for the congrats! I am so pleased I did it naturally and totally unintervened (apart from the amr)! It is truely amazing what the right mindset achieved - my hypnobirthing was so worth it! Two bits of advice - slow and deep breathing whilst visualizing what your body is doing in a relaxed state is like turning the pain down with a volume knob! And evening primrose oil pesseries are soo good at getting you ready!

I have a birth story attached to a moan thread in home & natural birth if anyone is interested - https://www.babyandbump.com/home-na...b-dreams-over-updated-birth.html#post11738584

 

[Emmea12uk]

Oh and all my false starts felt like labour! I truely believe what got it going in the end was lifting my bump so her head pushed on my cervix.

So who is next !?!? Come on eve!!

 

[Pippin]

Awww Emma that is a wonderful contrast to the birth you had with Tom. Well done you and it sounds just perfect.

Are you home now?

 

[Aaisrie]

Just to let you know when I had my consultant appt yesterday she could see meconium in the fluid on the scan and so she gave me a sweep and I've been brought in for induction tonight if I don't go properly today. Had regular contractions since the sweep yesterday but although they look very strong I don't think they feel too bad!!! Apparently I'm coping very well but my natural waterbirth is out the window now as I'll need monitored. Should have him here in the next 24-48hrs! X p.s. Don't post on fb as i don't want loads of peeps ringing me!!

Oh eve!!! Best of luck - I really hope everything goes smoothly. Lift your bump up Like I did as you are the same shape as me!

 

[SassyLou]

Hurry up Atticus xxx

 

[sequeena]

Eve best of luck honey xx

Lots of pains today and small amount of bleeding along with lots and lots of discharge. Walked lots, went down bumpy roads etc and am about to get on the birthing ball... I really want these pains to be more regular!

 

[Pippin]

Good luck Eve hope it's quick xxx

Sounds promising to me Sequeena. Xxx

Well big news from me too, they think my waters have gone, slow leaking started yesterday so over 24 hours ago! She doesn't think I'll be going home tonight, bit shocked. I'm in hospital now. Hasn't been confirmed yet so didn't want to say on fb. Hoping I can go home and give Sam a cuddle and prepare then come back tomorrow but she thinks they'll induce me tonight. bp high but coming down and bloods taken in prep.

Maybe our babies will have the same birthdays !!!

 

[LittleGriffin]

Pip .... you just have to be the early one eh?!? ;-) Good luck!!

Congrats Emmea , is there a pic of Isobelle on here? I don't access facebook.

Sounds promising Sequeena!!


I have just come back from the midwife who says B.G is fully engaged so could be anytime soon or she could be overdue cos you never know what a baby is going to decide! I'm betting overdue!!!!

 

[Barbiebaby]

Good luck Eve and Pip!

Sequeena sounds promising.

Little griff let's hope we aren't the only ones that go way overdue!! x

 

[sequeena]

Good luck Pip!!

No not promising. Got home, still had belly ache/cervix pain but had to nap as I'd had an awful nights sleep. Woken up feeling fine, rather frustrated but I'm sat on my birthing ball in the hopes of starting something off again... except I seem to keep rolling to the side on this thing, I don't know how to sit on it properly

 

[Pippin]

Ahhhh still waiting in hospital 5 hours later!!! Waiting for doctor to admit me and induce. Hospital is super busy people waiting in corridors so lucky I have my own room in the birth centre. Dh here to keep me company but we're bored. Had trace done all fine picking up tightenings but not feeling much now. She thinks I'll be admitted to the ward tonight but have to wait for doctor to decided course of action.
