So still need to catch up.

But here is a copy of the letter that was sent to my high risk pregnancy consultant by my liver consultant.

@atx614
See I've always found fundal height more accurate than growth scans.
My almost 9lb son always measured 2 weeks ahead with fundal height but growth scan just b4 I gave birth said 7 and a half lbs.
I new he was big by the way I felt.
So the growth scan was wrong but fundal height was right.

I will still panic if I get told baby is 8lbs or over at my next growth scan tho at 36+4.
Even tho I know there not accurate I will still worry lol..

@LoneWanderer
Probably baby being engaged hon.
This little shit still isn't engaged and is still free. Really thought he was gonna be engaged because had so much had groan pain yesterday. Nearly hit the ceiling lol.
Can't believe u only have a week left now.
Did ure pains settle?


@Zoboe95
Thats how I felt yesterday and really thought baby had engaged but nope he's still free..
Think he goes up and down tho in there.
Lol.


@Catmumof4 how are u today hon?

@Bittersweet
Really hope her levels stay down hon. So lovely u cud dress her today..
Really hope u guys can be home soon.

No babies here just a busy day at the zoo!!

when I saw midwife on Tuesday she said 3/5 engaged is that what she means then by head being down?

this baby is practically living in my foof and the pain sometimes is unbearable.

@MadamRose im sorry you’re feeling so disheartened. Try and relax and forget about it, it’ll probably happen then when you least expect it.

@Suggerhoney hopefully they will be able to give you a date at 37 weeks. The hospital here are beyond busy, but i’m kinda hoping to go into natural labour now!

I don’t want to put too much pressure on going into labour naturally but I can see myself becoming a bit obsessed about it.

Thanks hon. It will be 37 weeks but cud be 37+1 or 37+2. Hoping it will be 37 and no later..
Hope the next 2 weeks fly.
3/5 engaged is almost fully engaged hon. 4/5 is fully and 5/5 is baby coming out I think but I'm not 100%.
Had to lol at foof hahaha. I call it that sometimes too haha

 

[atx614]

@Suggerhoney ya I wish they would measure fundal here so I could compare it. Cause the growth scan they did for my son was about two pounds off which is insane.

@Bittersweet nipper shields are wonderful! Saved my nipples with my daughter lol.

 

[MadamRose]

@Neversayno todays plan is a trip to the park followed by an afternoon of movies, I went overdue with DD1 just didn’t think I would with this one with DD2 being 38+4.

@Suggerhoney I think the letter makes it very very very clear.

 

[soloso]

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!

glad to hear things are moving in the right direction, I hope that continues and you can be home soon! X

 

[MadamRose]

Not sure if it’s because I slept funny or what but my back feels like it’s going to snap in two, can’t find a position that helps, may have to dig out the heat pad!

 

[Suggerhoney]

Hi ladies.
Need to catch up again but just had a phone call from the maternity day assessment unit about last weeks bloods.
My bile levels are now 14 so have risen from a 7 to a 14.
So I have to go in to be monitored and I think have more bloods. I'm going in at 4pm today.
Gonna show them the letter from my liver consultant about the 37 weeks induction and tell them I still don't have a date and have to wait untill 36+4 to get one and hopefully they mite give me a date today.
Fingers and toes crossed.

Hope ure all OK.

 

[MadamRose]

@Suggerhoney hope all is okay, fingers crossed they might give you a date!!!

 

[Suggerhoney]

@Suggerhoney hope all is okay, fingers crossed they might give you a date!!!

Thank u hon. Yeah 14 is still classed as low buy definitely ICP. Really hope they just give me a date. It was them that gave me my date with Tommy and Lilly..
I'm nearly 35 weeks now I'm just gonna tell them I feel really anxious about being left to 36+4 to get a date and I'm worried about them getting busy and then I'll have to be pushed to go further.
I can try can't I. I mean they can only say yes or no.
It wudnt hurt them just booking it in.

I hope you manage to get an induction date hun, with my inductions I've being given the date at my 34 week consultant appointment x

 

[atx614]

@Suggerhoney I’m sorry you have icp again, but glad they are getting you in today. I really hope they can give you a date!

@MadamRose heating pads have been a lifesaver! I hope it helps with your back pain. Park and a movie sounds wonderful! Hopefully it will make the time pass quickly.

 

[Suggerhoney]

Outch hon. How is ure back now?

I really hope so too hon. My consultant appointment was at 32+4 weeks and he just wudnt give me a date. But said he wud give me it when I next see him..
He wanted to see me on the 28th August but there busy so the earliest I cud get was 1st September at 36+4 weeks.

I'm In waiting room right now waiting to be monitored and I'm definitely gonna express how anxious I am being left so last minute to get a date.
Hope they can give me one today.
I don't think I will tho

Have brought my liver consultant letter with me to show them so hopefully that will make them just book me in for 37 weeks.
Can only try I guess.

@Suggerhoney I’m sorry you have icp again, but glad they are getting you in today. I really hope they can give you a date!

Fingers crossed they do hon. I'm in waiting room now.

 

[MadamRose]

@atx614 thanks it’s gonna pretty quick tbh, just watching some catch up tv now and trying to shift this back ache!

@Suggerhoney a little walk has helped but it still isn’t great, think I must have slept funny last night just hope it doesn’t stop me getting comfy tonight! Let us know how the appointment goes!

Glad the walk helped a bit hon. What about trying a lovely bubble bath? Mite help u settle so u can relax more tonight.

Thanks I'm still here. Been monitored which was all good.
Now waiting to see a doctor or consultant.
And hopefully they will agree to give me a date.

 

[MadamRose]

@Suggerhoney glad the monitoring was okay-
Hope you don’t have got to wait long for a consultant, I had a bath last night but definitely might need another - it’s not been this sore since the first week of my last half term in the classroom (all the bending in the classroom always makes it play up the first week after a holiday).

 

[LoneWanderer]

Bump definitely shrinking as the days pass, can see why the measuring is coming up less! Baby must be on his way out I guess. Certainly feels low! Just wanna get scan out of way now though, always a worry when they refer you for something or other - even when there's an obvious explanation!

 

[Bittersweet]

How did appt go suggar

 

[Neversayno]

@Suggerhoney hiw did you get on hun?

@MadamRose i met my school friends (work) in the park today so did less walking than usual but sat on the floor for about 4 hours! I sympathise with the back pain haha I’ve had a nice warm bath and that seemed to get rid of the period type cramps and back ache
