September 2021 due date babies!!!

[LoneWanderer]

Nearly called ward to get myself admitted about an hour ago - v annoying how similar migraine symptoms and preeclampsia symptoms are! Both hands went numb, couldn't see properly, couldn't speak, felt sick, head pounding... But everything's mostly eased off, baby moving fine, just left with the horrid headache now but I can live with that. Just made other half get up and make me some chips

Oh hon I think u should give them a call and tell them what happened.
I had pre eclampsia with DD. I had terrible swelling with it.
Think I had bad headaches as well..
So hard to remember because it was nearly 9 years ago now but I do remember the swelling.

Cud be the migraine causing all these things but I wud just speak to someone just to be safe. X

Ahhh I'm fine this morning, just the headache left over. Migraines are the absolute worst: I actually lost three months of my life to daily attacks a few years back, it was the worst time I've ever known, couldn't get up or anything. I'm used to them generally though, had them since I was a young 'un: started with epilepsy but it changed into migraines in my teens. Thing is, pregnant with the boy although I had them, they were way milder (no headache, no sickness, just weird eyes) and I've not had one since he was born. Thought I'd escaped them this time... apparently not. Defs a stress trigger thing though, could do without, well, being so remarkably stressed!

 

[MadamRose]

@Catmumof4 the problem is the trauma risks stressing me out that I could stress out whilst in labour actually making things more dangerous for me and baby.

@Suggerhoney no no blood just lots of it, still not sign of baby actually coming yet looks like this one wants to make me wait a bit longer than DD2. I wonder if DD1 gets her wish and it comes on the 13th

@LoneWanderer I hope you don’t have any more glad you’re feeling better today.

 

[Bittersweet]

Lone I hope you are feeling better!

Suggar when’s your next appt to get your date set?


I’ve made it to full term. Honestly ladies I’ve been emotional all morning I cannot believe I’ve done it and carried this baby full term!

 

[LoneWanderer]

Yay for full term!!!

 

[Bittersweet]

Thank you. 3 more days 4 at a push madness! I’ve spent the morning scrubbing the floors wiping the furniture down etc. Tomorrow will be a chill day haha out a load on washing too

 

[MadamRose]

@Bittersweet yay for full term

 

[Bittersweet]

I keep looking at my ticker like oh my!

 

[MadamRose]

Didn’t get my sweep due to time yesterday due to everything else that was being sorted but midwife just rang to say she can fit me in for one today!!!!!

How you feeling aboht everything?

 

[Suggerhoney]

@Bittersweet
Well done hon making it to full term so glad u have made it. Not long at all now I'm sure them 4 days will fly. So exciting.

I don't have another consultant appointment untill 1st September at 36+4 weeks so cutting it a bit fine. But apparently they leave a few of the delivery rooms free for emergencies and high risk.
I have to be induced in delivery because I'm too high risk for them to do it on the ward.

I'm not sure tho because now my Liver consultant has requested 37 weeks I mite get a phone call b4 the 1st September with dates.
Just have to wait and see.
I didn't get a date untill 36+1 with Tommy and they booked me in for 37+2 but I ended up in the day assessment unit a few days later and they moved my date forward to 36+6. I was induced at 36+6 but didn't give birth untill the next day at 37.
Kind of hoping they book me in for then this time too.

@MadamRose
It's so funny isn't it. Like my first was born at 39+4 weeks but my second was 2 weeks over due. 42 weeks that was hurendous and he was my biggest baby 8lb 15oz. Very traumatic birth.
My 3rd baby was my first baby with DH and he was born at 39+6 weeks.

And then the last 2 were early indutions.
Our dd was 35+4 weeks and then Tommy 37 weeks.
And now this one 37 weeks.
But if I wasn't being induced I wud definitely be going the whole hog 40 weeks or over.
So I'm really glad I get induced because them last 3 weeks are so so hard.
I feel done now but I know its too early yet.
I will be happy to have him from 36 weeks tho but I can't see me going into labour on my own b4 my induction.
I will probably definitely make my induction date.
I just know it.

No predominal labour this time and braxton hicks are still not really painful. Just more uncomfortable.

How are u feeling today hon?

 

[MadamRose]

I can’t go into too much detail but something has been sorted. Just glad that I get my sweep today hopefully it’ll get things moving. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

@Suggerhoney think I’d cry if I got to 42 weeks!

I did cry hon. I cried I think every day. I was absolutely massive with him as well and put on 3 and a half Stone.
I've only put on just under 2 stone with this one so far.
Going that far over due was just horrible.

Hope the sweep works for you hon. They have never worked for me. But I do know womon that get them and then go into labour a few days later.
So glad u got things sorted that's so good to hear.

I need to download a contraction app but no idea what one to download. There's so many lol.
Can't find the one I had with Tommy.
That was a great app it wud play music and everything.

 

[Suggerhoney]

Got all my housework and laundry to do and can't be arsed but think I'm just gonna make a start and hopefully will get into it.

 

[Bittersweet]

Suggar they booked me in Sunday for the week after so it’s defo possible!
Madam I’m glad something had been sorted!
I’ve gained 3 stone but eating like a horse today so no wonder haha

 

[atx614]

@MadamRose yay! I am so glad they were able to sort out a plan with you.

@LoneWanderer yikes. I’m so sorry about the migrane. That sounds awful! I didn’t know hands going numb came from a migraine.

@Suggerhoney im glad the liver consult is letting you do 37 weeks! That’s exciting to know you’ll be done soon. I went to 42 weeks with my son too and it was awful!!

@Bittersweet happy 37 weeks! Full term is so exciting!!

I have my scan in an hour so getting ready to head there.

 

[MadamRose]

Sweep all done! She said things were already going in the right direction on their own as I’m already starting to thin out etc!

@atx614 hope the scan goes well!!!

 

[LoneWanderer]

Do you know, much as I'm convinced I'll get to my section date, part of me cannot shake the feeling that tomorrow is the big day.

So, we found out about this little one two weeks after mum in law's funeral. Swear she sent him to us to help us through. We are naming him in her honour - so Everett Linden, he will be. We learned he was indeed a he, five months from day we lost her. And that awful day when it happened was a Friday 13th - well, tomorrow is the first one that's fallen since then...

I'm not one for fate and coincidences and all that jazz BUT there's this niggle in back of my head says just make sure bags are by the door tomorrow...

Oh yeah and then my nan said she has a weird feeling about tomorrow that she can't explain either.

All that said, still crossing fingers, toes and legs for 25th scheduled section. Obvs.
