September 2021 due date babies!!!

[Bittersweet]

Madam rose glad to hear it went well
Hopefully not too much longer!


Lone what happens if you labour and the baby is too low down for a section? Can that happen?

 

[MadamRose]

@Bittersweet thanks - went for a walk after and now I’m gonna spend the evening on my ball

 

[Bittersweet]

Madam I’m so impressed I get under bump pains if I walk more than 5 mins . I do things like hoover sweep mop etc hopefully that counts lol!

I’ve been rotating back and forth and in figure of 8 on my ball so hoping that woll do something so fingers crossed for you!

 

[MadamRose]

@Bittersweet Thanks - I think my job helps, I was on my feet so much as a teacher if that makes sense. But yes things like mopping etc will definitely help. Any kind of house work that keeps you moving helps. Don’t wanna get my hopes up but gonna try and get all the happy hormones going by watching some funny tv etc too

Nah very, very unlikely: obviously always a chance that baby comes so quick there's no time to prep for the op and get it done, but otherwise its a standard non-urgent 'emergency' section. They do emergency sections like right down to the last minute, don't forget, when there's complications and stuff. And the cut is way way low - bikini line low. So a bit of labouring beforehand won't make much difference.

Hey all see your all hanging in there still! @LoneWanderer I am one that believes in fate (to a point) so you never know! Will be keeping my eye on this thread tomorrow!

@Bittersweet yey for full term how exciting I made it to 32 weeks today!!

Im so so sorry for tmi but.. Anyone know any natural ways to help slight constipation that isn't prunes eww lol. Lactulose is too strong and if i try push even slightly it feels like im pushing where baby is aswrll and that hurts like hell x

 

[Bittersweet]

@MadamRose thats true! I’ve not been as active as I’d have liked to have been this pregnancy with work etc getting in the way. I have a dog as well no excuse lol!

lone that does make sense thanks hun ive a curiosity around it. I still don’t want one only cause of the pain and recovery I’ve built it in my head to be! Cat congrats on 32 weeks

 

[Catmumof4]

Thank you x

Honestly, suppose this deserves a tmi warning in itself, but the only thing that ever helps me at it's worst is gently applying a bit of pressure from the outside... or at very very worst, sticking a latex glove on and giving things a literal hand out (that's how I got through the first post-section one after six entire days...)

But then again, I'm not squeamish and have zero shame!

Doesn't sound like you're doing half as bad as I can sometimes get though, best thing just lots of fresh fruit and silly amounts of water and fruit juice, it'll shift eventually.

I’ll update properly tomorrow but he came super quick and he’s now in neonatal if you haven’t seen on my fb and now hubby has gone back home and I’m still here. He’s been having breathing difficulties since birth, he has fluid on his lung and they are immature

 

[Suggerhoney]

@MadamRose anything happening hon? Hope she did a good sweep and that things get going soon. I had some bleeding after my sweep so don't be alarmed if u see blood. Its just where they been fiddling lol.

@LoneWanderer I do believe In fate. How strange both u and ure nanna have that feeling. I wonder if tomorrow will be the day. Loving the name hon its lovely.

@Bittersweet hope ure feeling OK tonight hon and not still having pains.

@Catmumof4
I find drinking orange juice and eating fruit helps.
I've been having diareah the last few days but for about 2 weeks b4 I was so so bunged up. Its horrible and oh the back pain because of it. Was so painful and tummy pains.
Hope u go soon.

 

[MadamRose]

@wantingagirl so sorry Hun, hope he’s out soon

@Suggerhoney tmi but I think most of it my plug, bloody show etc was on the glove after she finished. She did seem to do a good job. I’m having some twinges but know that can happen after a sweep so trying not to get my hopes up too much. I’ve got another one booked for Sunday!

Oh hon I didn't see this post earlier. I'm so sorry he is neonatal care hon. I know how hard that is. We went through it with my dd. I had to have her at 35+4 weeks because of severe pre eclampsia and ICP.
I did have the steroid shots at 32 weeks but she was born with breathing problems because her lungs wasn't mature enough. She had internal bleeding too and her liver wasn't functioning properly.
It's horrible when ure baby can't be with u on the ward and seeing all the other mums with there's.
They are absolutely amazing in nicu tho hon and he really is in good hands.
I'm gonna pray for him for complete healing and pray he can be with u soon.
Ure in my thoughts hon.
I'm Dannii-Marie Arnold Slater on Facebook feel free to pm me anytime if u want to.
Thinking of you sweetheart

Hope it has done the trick hon.

@wantingagirl im glad he came quickly! I hope he is out soon once his lungs mature a bit! Congrats!!!

 

[MadamRose]

So it’s 4.30 and I’ve been awake since 3.00 unable to sleep spent over an hour tossing and turning and now basically given up. Still having some irregular tightenings but nothing I can see turning into anything unfortunately

 

[Bittersweet]

My son woke me up at 5 this morning so we are currently down the stairs watching tv. Still having the irregular tightenings but nothing more no more plug or show either.
Wanting yoh know where I am hun x

Me and my Partner had the constipation vs diarrhoea debate last night I just can't get a happy medium

@Bittersweet my dd decided on 6 today which is basically a lie in but we was up and down with them all last night soo tired but lots to do!

Iv got my baby shower tomorrow, we decided to do one as it's my last! Everyone is having a covid test and having it outside to keep safe, bit worried about the weather tho xx

 

[Zoboe95]

@wantingagirl so good to hear from you, I hope you see improvents in little ones breathing soon and are able to have him back with you ...it's a scary time when your emotions are all over the place too, but it's the best place for them to get treated

I actually slept well last night for the first time in ages! I am very unusual because my 2 year old doesn't like getting up in the morning! I have to wake her up at 6am on a work/nursery day, but it balances because today she has only just woken up!
