September 2021 due date babies!!!



[USER=628869]@LoneWanderer
Your a lot cal.er then I would be so hats off to you!! How are you feeling that your so close to c-day?

[/USER]

Only thing bothering me really is if I end up being the latest slot of the day (or worse, if emergencies jump the queue) then I'm gonna be bloody starving by the time we're done. And obvs I'm not thrilled about being on my own on the ward post-op with a baby and no help. But it is what it is.

Otherwise though yeah I'm calm as hell, just 1000% done now, want him out before he does permanent damage to my poor pelvis...

Seriously I have so much respect for people who struggle with mobility full time, as this last few months that have been hell on earth and I am very ready to do normal stuff like climbing the stairs and rolling over in bed! No way can the section recovery be worse than this - and at least I get some better painkillers post-op!!
:rofl:

So roll on Wednesday*, its baby tiiiiime!

*scan depending of course haha
 
@MadamRose well hopefully baby comes in the next 6 days so you don’t have to worry about the 27th!!

@Zoboe95 lovely bump! Yes baby looks lower and maybe positioned differently since it is way more protruding this time.

@LoneWanderer yes no food before is terrible. I hope you get an early slot. If they are worried about baby size I bet they try and get you an AM slot. How far along will you be Wednesday?

39 weeks on the dot, which is the absolute earliest they'd do it (unless there was an actual medical issue with baby obvs, but so far all seems fine).

#1 was 41+3 - and likely would have been even later if I hadn't gone the elective route - so it's very strange to feel so done so soon, but then I never had this ridiculous pain last time and could enjoy being pregnant a bit more. If the first time had been like this, #1 would definitely be an only child!! :rofl:
 
Hahaha ya I am definitely feeling this pregnancy more than my others. Much more hip and back pain for sure. I’m sure after your c section recovery you will feel like yourself again! Do you know how many days you have to stay after?

Last time was three days (two nights) but I'm hoping to go home next day this time - only downside to going earlier is that in hospital they give you morphine and all sorts to get you through, but then they send you home and are like 'yeah just take some paracetamol' :rofl:
 
@MadamRose positive thinking might help they say.... but 'they' have obviously never been pregnant Lol!!

@LoneWanderer I have mobility issues out of pregnancy but this is something else! Iv never had spd like this before it's insane!! I had 1 pain free day yesterday and it just reminded me how much easier pregnancy can be! Making up for it today tho :sad: ! I'm feeling ok with the not eating which is unlike me but my last section i was dry heaving towards the end and felt I couldn't breathe so anything to be able to mentally tell myself there is nothing there Lol!
Post recovery my mum is having the others when we go in so I'm preying because they know it's going to be very difficult to do mine they will take me first so I can pretend that we haven't had her yet so my Partner doesn't get rushed. I am going to ask mum if she will have the kids overnight so we can book one of the side rooms because the midwives here are awful post baby. All they care about is making sure breastfeeding women get all their support which is great.... until u can't get to your baby or you drop something. I was up within 4 hrs (and only took that long because they didn't take the catheter out) because the care was so piss poor and my baby was crying. But not doing that again.

@atx614 how are you doing xx
 
@Catmumof4 I tried that, and every time I thought it was something and wasn’t I got disappointed so decided if I expect nothing then I’ll at least not be disappointed
 
@Suggerhoney glad they are keeping are keeping and eye on you, fingers crossed you get your date on Wednesday.

@LoneWanderer glad everything is okay

@Reiko_ctu yes I never expected to still be pregnant trying not to get excited each time I’m as I just get disappointed


Thank you hon. I really hope so too I feel like I've been waiting for this date for ages but it just seems to don't give u one unless ure 35+ weeks.
That's even if I get it on Wednesday. I hope so because I'll be 35+4 so not far off 36 weeks.
So fingers crossed I get it on Wed and extra fingers crossed for no later than September 4th[-o<

Can't believe ure almost 40 weeks I really thought baby wud be here by now.
If u go over I hope its only by a day or two and no more..
I just feel like u cud go at any moment. Like a ticking time bomb u are hehe.
Oh hon I'm so sorry nothing has happened yet and u had to deal with all this horrible pre Dominal labour. It really sucks arse big time ](*,)



@Suggerhoney sounds like you’ll get your date earlier bless you.

@LoneWanderer always best to get checked out honey. When’s your scan?

@MadamRose i feel for you, I never felt like this with bear, I want this baby to come now honestly got this vision in my head of having a natural birth and no intervention to start me off and it’s what I want - this weekend would be great as Charles is at his dads. Never going to happen.



Thanks sweety I do hope so. If I get sent away on wed with no date still I will cry.
I mean originally my pregnancy consultant wanted to see me on 28th Aug and give me my date then. I wud of been exactly 36 weeks but there too booked up and I cudnt get a appointment with him untill 1st September.

So really giving me my date on Wed makes more sense because i will be 35+4 weeks so almost 36 weeks.
Hope ure OK.



Sounds like lots of scans and reviews, and hopefully some progress with doctors and midwives!

My midwife has booked me a review for Thursday afternoon, which I can't go to so she's probably going to grump at me again now! I have a scan with midwife review thursday morning, then I'm going camping! I really wish they would phone and discuss appt dates/yes rather than just giving you one!

Below is baby 1 on left and baby 2 on right, both at 35ish weeks...feel a lot lower and more sticky outy this time!

Ahhh such a lovely bump. I wud definitely say ure bigger this time. But not by much.
Are u being induced hon or having a section or are u able to go into labor on ure own?

@LoneWanderer
Good luck at ure scan tomorrow hon.
I'm sure all is perfect and he is probably supper low now. Or maybe this baby is gonna be a bit smaller than ure last.
U just never know hon.

AFM

Nothing much to report. Was awake all night with the worst constipation pain ever.
I've still not been.
The terrible pain I was in all night with it made me feel so sick and so hot and just horrible.
It also kept causing btaxton hicks.
Hope I sleep tonight.


Keep thinking today is Saturday and then realising it's Friday like :hissy:

Time is draaaaaaging :coffee:


I forgot to mention that I was told yesterday that I probably won't need a pessery and they will probably be able to just break my waters beciase I had a baby 2 years ago. She said my cervix is probably already open.

I know this Is rank and TMI but because I'm so constipated I find it sometimes help pushing on the vaginal wall at the hard stools in the rectum. I find it can help to get the hard poop out.
Anyway my cervix throughout this whole pregnancy has been low.
It was still low about a week ago and soft.

But now it's gone up high and feels so so soft and definitely open at the tip. I didn't want to root about to much because didn't want to cause any damage but its just weird how it's suddenly gone high and is so so soft.
Probably means nothing but just interesting.

Dh surprised me today by doing alot of the housework. He has giving it a thorough going over. All I had to do was polish my lounge and clean all the kitchen and mop..
So so grateful he did all the rest and the hoovering.
Now it's all done I can chill out.

Need to write the kids names on there uniforms and get all them ready.
They go back to school on Friday 3rd September.
Right bang on for when I go into hospital.

Ummmm nothing really much else to report.

@LoneWanderer when is ure section hon? I know its very very close?
 
@Suggerhoney fingers crossed you make it to Wednesday, and I’m 99% sure if you do you’ll get a date. That’s really good that your DH has been so helpful today! In terms of uniform I’m almost done just got to iron in the labels, apart from school skirts found it impossible to get my girls skirts this year and they are super fussy and don’t like trousers.

I also feel like a ticking time bomb, don’t dare go too far, kinda wish I had in the previous few weeks as my daughters have missed out so much this holiday compared to normal! Tomorrow is car service day, it’s not too far but a bit fo a walk so gonna walk one way (either back from taking the car or back to get the car) and get a taxi the other way!
 
Ahh sorry I've just read more and see ure going in on Wednesday @LoneWanderer
Eeeeek. Really not long at all.

I'm in hospital that day too;
, to be monitored and have bloods done and hopefully get my induction date. Will definitely be thinking of you and stalking this group like crazy.
Every time I come on here I'm on tender hooks thinking has anyone gone into labour eeeek.
 
@Suggerhoney I have no idea what I'm feeling for cervix wise and jealous of ladies that can cos they get to know more about there bodies. I have had to do that in the past to try pass stools. You should have called the gp to prescribe something constipation is not good! I can't wait to have baby and be able to poo and pee normally!!
 
@Suggerhoney I should hopefully go naturally! They've said she will be small and early. Last one was small and early, and both me and my brother were too, so fairly likely! I'm 35 weeks now, and her head bounces so low I feel like I'm going to pop! First LO was only 5lb 9, at 37 weeks and 4 days, so I'm expecting similar again
 
@MadamRose.
Oh I definitely will make it until Wednesday hon don't think this one is planning on surprising me and coming Early. I no full well I will make it to my 37 induction.
Never ever gone into labour on my own early b4. If I wasn't being induced I wud be going to 40 weeks.

I was thinking of getting them iron in name tags but just gonna use a sharpie pen I think.
Now house is all done mite tackle the uniforms tomorrow.

Any tightenings or anything today hon?
Literally can't wait for u to go into labour it's so exciting because we still don't know of ure having a pink or blue one.
I think blue..
Probably why the lazy sod isn't here yet lol..
Boys get way too comfy haha. Have u tried anything like hot curry and pineapple or any of that sort of stuff.
Hoovering and lunging while doing it put me in labour with our 10 year old son at 39+6 weeks.
I was lunging around the whole house and looked like a right idiot.
Haha but it worked. That night in bed my waters went. They trickled and it took me a while to work out it was me waters.
Heard a pop and thought what the hell was that.
Then kept needing to pee and everytime I went I had to change my panty liner because it was damp. Still didn't click on..
Then the contractions strated at 1am and by 4am they were painful and I woke my husband up because I was groaning.
Then had the bloody show and by the time I got to the hospital I was already 4cm dilated.
Had zero signs of labour b4 that so it just came from mo where.
U cud start at any second hon.
Hill walking is good too. And apparently going up and down the stairs but sideways.
Sounds weird but apparently it's a thing lol.


@Catmumof4
Haha tbh I didn't know either untill ttc and that's when I learnt how to find it.
Tbh most pregnant womon can't feel there's because it shoots up high in early pregnancy but with Tommy mine was low and firm until 24 weeks and then it went up so high I cudnt find it.

But with this one it's been low the whole way through. Was kind of hard ish at first but got softer the further I got. It's just strange how it's suddenly gone up so high. I can still feel it but only just. It's so so soft too which again is strange.
It's definitely open too but has been through out but now feels more open.
Mind u it can be open at the end but I inside it can be still shut.
I won't really know much untill I get a internal to see.
They may do a internal at my 36+4 consultant appointment just to see if I need a pessery.
Or they may just leave it untill I go in on induction day.
With Tommy my consultant did a internal at 36+1 weeks and I was booked in for 36+6 for induction. She just wanted to see if I was dilated enough to have waters broken. But I wasn't and she said I wud need the balloon or a pessery.

Tbh I'm kind of hoping I do need the pessery because I'm really scared if they can just waters everything mite happen really fast and I may not get time for a epidural..
There's no way I can do it without a epidural I definitely want one.
I've had a few failed ones but the one I had with Tommy worked really well so hoping for the same this time. Will stress that to my consultant.


@Suggerhoney I should hopefully go naturally! They've said she will be small and early. Last one was small and early, and both me and my brother were too, so fairly likely! I'm 35 weeks now, and her head bounces so low I feel like I'm going to pop! First LO was only 5lb 9, at 37 weeks and 4 days, so I'm expecting similar again

That's good hon. Do u think u will go early this time too?
Do u think this one maybe a bit bigger too because ure bump is bigger?
My bump has stopped growing again. I feel like it hasn't changed for the last 3 weeks.
I still think this baby will be big.
They said he's not big and growth scans show he isn't big but I don't trust it.
Was told my second was gonna be small and he was 8lb 15 and my biggest.

And the rest they said were big and ended up being smaller.

So I really don't trust growth scans at all.
There saying he will be 6 to 7lbs but I think he will be about 8lbs.
The smallest baby I had was 5lb 7 and tbh I prefer them being a bit bigger and chubby. She was really skinny.
Tommy was 7lb 6 and that was perfect.
But really think this one will be bigger and I'm not gonna lie I'm a bit worried.

Mind u I thought Tommy was gonna be huge and he was only 7lb 6 and really not the monster they predicted.
He was estimated to be 9 to 10lbs even at 37 weeks.
So I don't take any notice of growth scans now.
But i do have anther growth scan at 36+4 and if he's like 8lbs at that then I know I'm gonna panic.

@LoneWanderer
Morphine is such goooood stuff hehe.
 
Hmm OK so just had some snotty like cm sorry TMI. also some red blood in clear cm right after..
Not alot just a bit.
 
No pains or anything. Probably nothing.
 
@Catmumof4 im doing pretty good, thanks for checking. I’ve been keeping my glucose levels down for the most part, but a few high ones here and there. I was walking after meals but it’s too damn hot right now lol. My doctor told me to stay home since covid is so bad here right now. So mentally I am going a bit crazy since there isn’t much to do and it has made time for by slowly. But right now the only time out of the house is for doctors appointments. I’m so sorry you are in so much pain, that just sounds awful. I wish you could get some relief!!
 
@Suggerhoney i get cramps etc most days but I guess that’s all part of the prodromal labour - some days they are worse than others. Yes I’ve been doing lots of walking, I’m 99% sure that’s what worked with DD2, we walked to a bbq and back and that night I was in labour but doesn’t seem to have worked with this one. Don’t do hot food but I’ve even tried curb walking etc :rofl: honestly can’t believe it’s my due date tomorrow. I guess one of the only saving graces is being in the job I am my maternity leave doesn’t start until tomorrow so I haven’t had like 2/3 weeks of that already like so many in my situation might have done!
 
@Suggerhoney I still think she'll be small, but don't know if as small as last time...I agree the tiny 5lb ones are so so skinny! Her legs looked like they would just snap off!

Hopefully it was just some of your plug!

I took another photo this morning and it's a completely different shape and size! Left is yesterday, right is today ...never can tell with these babies can you...although today I'm wearing dungarees Vs skinny jeans yesterday so that may make a difference too I suppose! pixlr.jpg

Eugh toddler had me up at 4am because she had wet herself (she's been dry through the night since Xmas) ...she's having a major regression in toileting right now, but she has so much going on in the next couple of weeks, as well as baby coming, she's moving up to early years, we're going camping, we've got people staying etc etc, so I'm hoping it's just that!
 
@Zoboe95 sorry your little one had you up so early hopefully it’s just a minor set back bless her, it can happen especially with so many changes going off! I think you bump look beautiful!
