September 2021 due date babies!!!

[Bittersweet]

I’m allowed to eat as baby has settled down so away to get my anti biotics in and oh away to go feed me and then they will break waters and see what happens. Contractions are stepping up now so she said hopefully it’s waters break and minimal intervention but if not they give me an hour or so to pick up myself before they give the drip.

I’m like so to clarify I’m not going home am I she was like no your baby decided for you that they wanted to tk come up tk be fair you’d have been in over the next day or so anyway judging by what’s gone on today

 

[LoneWanderer]

Eeek exciting stuff! Glad things are progressing, sounds like it won't be long now!
Good luck and looking forward to hearing all about it

 

[LoneWanderer]

I've organised all the baby's clothes and changing stuff and cloths and bottles etc this afternoon.

Don't think it counts as nesting though if you force yourself into it, and hate every minute

And I think in all the sorting, I've gone and broken my pissing thumb somehow, it's now a weird colour and shape and v painful. See what happens, I ain't off to bloody A&E on a weekend for them to say they can't do owt anyway. If it's still bad by a week on Weds I'll ask them to pop me down after the section for a cheeky xray ahahahaha.

Oh, and now contracting like a bitch over here so I've defs done too much. Feet up, telly on and not moving for another ten days

@Bittersweet
Oh my gosh what a rollercoaster. So glad ure staying in now and they can break ure waters.
Sounds like things are happening.
So exciting.
So glad babies heart settled and u can eat now too. Lots of walking and bouncing hon get them contractions going.
Wishing u all the best hon.

 

[Bittersweet]

So with no intervention I made it to 4cm they put heart tracer on as baby didn’t cope with a huge congestion and now wagers are leaking with the tracer on

@MadamRose
Ure bump looks so so low. Its definitely dropped. Sounds like things have been going on cervix wise.
Gosh u can go into labour at any moment eeeek.

@LoneWanderer
Oh ure poor thumb. Totally don't blame ya not wanting to go in A&E on a weekend.
Of its gets too sore tho hon u cud pop in tomorrow or like u said get a cheeky X Ray on c day hahaha. I mean why bloody not. Ure there anyway haha.



So worried abit about my induction now.
Scared I will get a date but won't be able to go in because there be top busy.
I'm classed as very high risk so hopefully I won't have any problems.
My liver consultant said 37 weeks so I really don't want to go past that.

Youd be surprised hun I’m in full blown labour and all I got was a sweep at 12ish today

 

[LoneWanderer]

They've told us that if they can't fit us in locally for the section we might have to go to the nearest city hospital, so a good hour+ away, and have it there instead. Though I imagine they'd be more busy in there than in our small local one, so I dunno if I can see that happening. BUT does seem that everywhere is just so, so busy with all these lockdown babies, and they are just fitting everyone in as best they can and working with what they've got, on a case by case basis. It's just not normal times right now. So I'm firmly expecting absolute chaos, changing plans, utter confusion and lots of messing around - that way if things go even slightly to plan I'll be pleasantly surprised. I mean, at the end of the day, there's a baby in there that's soon going to come out, one way or another(!)

 

[MadamRose]

@Bittersweet so exciting hope things get going quickly!!!!

@Suggerhoney I keep hoping it could be any minute but it doesn’t seem to be happening

I would imagine if your liver consultant wants it doing at 37 weeks you’d be a real priority Hun!

 

[Suggerhoney]

I think when I go In I will need the pessery or gell. I haven't been having any contractions only BH. No sign of any plug or even any bits of it. Just nothing.
So can see me needing to have something put in down stairs.
Be very surprised if they can just break my waters.

Oh oh how exciting. So glad ure In labour hon. Good luck. I'm thinking of you. Push push puuuuuuush hahahaha.

I think August and September are there busiest times for babies. I was told that when I had Tommy. Everyone bonking at Xmas and new year hahahaha.
But I rekon my hospital will be manic as well.
If I wasn't being induced I'd definitely be going to 40 weeks. Or more.


@MadamRose
That's what my husband said. He said u have more priority because of being so high risk and having a liver transplant they won't want to push it to far.
My liver consultant said no to 38 weeks and said 37 was fine..
So hopefully I go in that day without any problems.


Been a busy day today. Think I've over done it like Lone.
Back is absolutely killing me and lower bump kills. Got another headache too. Keep getting them.
Had one yesterday too.
Gonna go and lay down on the sofa now and put my feet up and watch TV.


Did some bump pics today. Don't know if there's much difference from last week.

Here's last week 33 weeks and today 34+1 weeks.

 

[MadamRose]

@Suggerhoney lovely bump picture Hun!

 

[Suggerhoney]

@Suggerhoney lovely bump picture Hun!

Thank you sweety. I feel huge lol

 

[Catmumof4]

Omg @Bittersweet good luck hun!! Hope to hear from you with a happy healthy babe in your arms soon!!!

@MadamRose fingers crossed u pop soon!

@Suggerhoney I'm sure you will be a top priority with the liver transplant

@LoneWanderer ouch sounds really nasty! Hope stops hurting soon x

So this morning I lost a large amount of my plug was getting bad period pains all morning went for a lie down at 1 until 4 and I didn't feel any more (thought yey just more braxton hicks) then until 5.30 where they started coming and going started timing about an hr ago and every 20 mins and hurting through morphine.. not 100% sure what to do though because if I was past term id just wait but only being 32 weeks I don't want to go up and it just be Braxton but I don't want to go into labour Lol!!

 

[LoneWanderer]

Oh no defs go in even if it's just a check and send home job, always better to be safe and get looked at! If anything was starting early they might slow you down, and if not no harm done being looked at. Call them!

 

[Catmumof4]

Childcare is a major issue in the evening I'm feeling very torn x

 

[MadamRose]

@Catmumof4 id definitely go up to be on the safe side especially so early!

 

[Suggerhoney]

@Catmumof4
I just wrote to you in the October group but will write here too.
Please call them hon. Don't leave it. If u are feeling it through morphine and the fact there regular I wudnt wait.
Ure still early and they may be able to stop things if u are in labour.
Take the kids with u if have too.
Or is there as neighbour that cud watch them for you or a friend?

 

[Catmumof4]

Gonna try sleep if they disappear then they are just Braxton. My mum's basically just said I'm imagining them and I'm not going in on my own so no childcare no hospital just have to prey for me ladies. I got 6 kids no-one will want to which is sad.

 

[atx614]

@Catmumof4 if they are consistent at all, even far apart I would get checked!!

@Bittersweet yayay!! So excited for you! You’ve got this!!

@Suggerhoney um they better get you in at 37 weeks! You are high risk, it’s not like it’s just elective.

@MadamRose i can’t believe you haven’t gone get tbh lol. Glad she will do a sweep for you a few times a week! And all the walking you do should help too.

@LoneWanderer ugh, I’m sorry about your thumb. That sounds awful. But good job organizing all the clothes. That’s on my to do list this week. And to pack my bag and get the car seat out of the attic.
