Nothing I may have woken up and literally cried, I don’t feel like I can keep doing this. It literally feels like my body is broken

I’m so incredibly sorry hun. The last few weeks of pregnancy are so emotional and trying let alone the added stress of the homebirth fiasco. Baby will have to come out soon so you’ve got the finish line in sight although I’m sure it feels like you’re crawling toward it xx

 

[LoneWanderer]

Off to midwife this aft so might get her to do an exam while I'm there, see if owt's actually happening. Last appt with her before the big day! Find out today if she's free to come to the actual op as well, hoping so as she can look after me on ward when other half is kicked out. Though looking doubtful now as they've booked me for a Weds which is her usual clinic day.

So, so much backache. Starting to wonder if he's pole dancing on my spine, coz that's best way I can describe it

 

[LoneWanderer]

Hmmm so midwife wasn't exactly as expected- baby's growth has tailed off for two weeks running, so now got a scan Monday before pre-op, meanwhile I'm to go in with any change to movement or other concerns.

@MadamRose im so sorry. That’s so frustrating that the contractions keep trailing off.

@LoneWanderer im glad they are giving you a scan to check on baby’s size. It will be more accurate than just fundal height. They don’t even measure fundal here at appointments anymore.

@Catmumof4 goodness I’m so glad you are okay. Sorry you had to go to the hospital, I hope baby stays put a while longer!!

 

[LoneWanderer]

Aye just seems odd they'd even bother, given he's coming out Wednesday anyway - would have thought they'd either do the scan sooner in case of an issue, or just wait the week out and get him out as planned.

Gone from ⅘ to ⅖ so I expect that's why he's measuring smaller, plus it wasn't my usual midwife. I mean... he's certainly not small just seems a right faff about going in to be scanned then onto pre-op, gonna end up spending bloody hours on unit Mon afternoon.

 

[LoneWanderer]

V v quiet on here today... perhaps everyone is suddenly off having babies..?!

 

[MadamRose]

@LoneWanderer hopefully baby is just laying in a funny position - that’s what happened when I had reduced growth.

Other may be off having babies but I’m definitely not , still very fat over here

 

[Zoboe95]

Not off having babies over here 2nd to last day at work today, last day tomorrow, I'm ready for it now! ...the children's attendance always tails off at this point as they all go off on holiday and stuff...today was actually quite boring, we were so overstaffed, which NEVER happens in nurseries! ...usually I would take the opportunity and get loads done, but with only one day left, there wasn't really anything to do!!

 

[Zoboe95]

@LoneWanderer hopefully change in size is just a change in position...there seems to be no logic in their appointment booking sometimes does there next week I supposedly have midwife, then the next day scan, followed by a midwife review ...what is the point in seeing two midwives?!

Yeah before I had LO I tailed off from being 2-3 weeks ahead to bang on when she went head down suspect that’s why!

hopefully it’s quick for you so you’re not waiting around

we are still in hospital my nipples are on fire I guess it’s a latch issue but I’ve been given a nipple sheild so il use that to let them heal a bit and establish feeding and latch then remove it.

Her levels came down today so was able to dress her for the first time and she’s not on a light anymore which is nice jist everything crossed that she stays with her levels down enough to go home!

Hay ladies

Really haven't had a chance to catch up on the thread yet.
Will do when I get time.

Had midwife today.

So the rules at my hospital are..
Because I'm being induced in delivery suite my DH can be with me the whole way through..
And when I'm on the ward he is the only one who can visit me. No kids.
But it is what it is..
Gonna be hard not seeing Tommy for 6 days.
Gonna have to video call.

I'm measuring 34 weeks so pretty much bang on.
Midwife said baby does not feel big and she thinks between 6 and 7lbs at birth.
Yeah believe that when I see it.

Also had a copy of the letter from my liver consultant to my High risk pregnancy consultant and it does day 37 weeks.

My midwife said I won't get a date untill I see the pregnancy consultant again at 36+4 but told me not to worry because they tend to book ladies in right at the very last minute.

Told her I've had no signs of plug or any painful contractions. Just having uncomfortable BH. She said not to worry about that either because it doesn't mean nothing Is happening at all. App u can dilate up to 2cm and not know it.

Dought that wud be me tho.

 

[MadamRose]

@Bittersweet fingers crossed levels stay down and she’s home super soon!

 

[MadamRose]

@Suggerhoney glad the appointment went well and midwife doesn’t think baby is too big. I will think they’ll definitely get you in for your induction on time with it being for the reasons it is!

Thanks hon.
I still think he will be big but we shall see.
Yeah my liver consultant has diognosed me with ICP now too. So hence all the itching. Growth scan and consultant 2 weeks today and date.
Hope it doesn't drag.

I am so so sorry everything stopped hon.
So gutted for you.
Surly it it has to happen for you soon.

 

[MadamRose]

@Suggerhoney fingers crossed it goes quickly for you.

And thanks I actually ended up having a really big cry this morning as I’m so disheartened. I am 99% sure I’m gonna go overdue now tbh, just hoping it’s not on DD2’s birthday! I see the midwife again on Friday so gonna mention how I’m feeling to her to see if she has any more suggestions, as all the false labour is making me so tired I’m starting to really struggle

Babys head is dancing so low tonight that I feel like I'm gonna pee every 5 seconds...almost feel the need to check I haven't leaked! pregnancy is such an attractive thing

Thank you hun I'm sure she will today hasn't been too bad x

@Bittersweet yeey for little one getting from under the lights bet she looked beautiful all dressed up! Hope she stays that way for you!!

@MadamRose hope something starts soon!

@LoneWanderer hopefully growth is just because baby is engaging? Scan is prob to make sure all is ok but I agree bit odd to leave it so long!

Very quiet on here today! X
