September 2021 due date babies!!!

[Bittersweet]

Oh lone that’s so fustrating!!!!!

So baby girl has only gained 60g in 5 days midwife coming again Friday I dunno if I should be worried or not

 

[LoneWanderer]

So apparently I can't go home, well obvs I can as they can't stop me haha! But they intend to still do section this aft, god knows when. Tomorrow there isn't enough midwives on ward and then they are booked up with sections Friday, also into next week. So it's now or... well, I guess not never as baby has to come out, but you know...(?)

Absolutely serves me right for having a pandemic baby when every other bugger is doing it, so can't complain that it's overly busy. But bloody hell, I am so very hungry and thirsty and angry now! If still delayed in half hour or so think they'll put me on iv fluids and see if that helps. Meanwhile... we wait!

@LoneWanderer im so sorry. That’s so frustrating!! And I can imagine being so hungry and thirsty too. That’s a long time with nothing. I hope they get you in ASAP!!!

@Bittersweet i am sure they will tell you if it isn’t enough! Has your milk come in? They may have you supplement a bit if it hasn’t so she will grow a bit. I think I remember them saying they gain 5-7oz per week the first few weeks once your milk comes in. But if your milk isn’t in then it’s normal for her not to have gained that much

 

[Bittersweet]

@LoneWanderer any news?

yeah my milk is in and I’ve been expressing 2-3 times per day on top of the feeding which she does every 2-3 hours

 

[atx614]

Finally feeling big! And still a ways to go lol. I have way more pressure than last week but she is still up pretty high.

Woop woop I have my date ladies
My induction has been booked in for Saturday 4th September. No time. They call me on the day with a time but if I haven't heard anything by 3pm I phone them.
Now just hope they don't get too busy that day and i can get in nice and early. The earliest they can call is 8am so will have to be up early that day so hope i do get to go in nice and early. Don't really want to be sat around waiting at home all day and ideally don't want to be labouring all night..
So fingers toes and everything crossed I can go in in the morning.
I will be 37 weeks exactly.
1 more week and 2 days to go eeeeeeek.

@LoneWanderer
Oh hon that sucks. I really hope they get u in soon and u don't have to wait until tomorrow.
Hope ure in theatre right now.


@atx614
Lovely bump hon.


@Bittersweet
If they don't seem worried than it's fine hon.

 

[Bittersweet]

Fantastic bump!


Great news suggar! Relieved for you.

midwufe said she’d come out Monday but then said she’s gone back Friday to weigh her then Monday as well?

 

[atx614]

@Suggerhoney yay!! I am so happy you have the date you want! So relieved for you. So soon!

@Bittersweet if they are weighing her often they probably just want to check her progress to make sure she’s gaining. Once at a doctors visit when my daughter was little (she was tiny!) they weighed her and then had me nurse her and then weighed her again right after. They wanted to see how many ounces she was getting out if she was getting enough. As long as she is growing that’s good! My daughter lost before she started to grow.

 

[Bittersweet]

Thanks she defo gained as leaving hospital she was 3.3 now she’s 3.36

@Bittersweet all mine lose weight.
My biggest the 8lb 15 baby dropped to 8lb 4 and they were worried about that but he was OK.

Lilly was 5lb 7oz and dropped to 4lb 9oz.

Tommy was 7lb 6 and dropped to 7lbs.

I think ure little lady will be just fine hon.



@wantingagirl
How are u doing hon

 

[Zoboe95]

@Suggerhoney sounds about right to me!!

...omg my back hurts so much tonight

 

[Bittersweet]

Congratulations lone

 

[Reiko_ctu]

@LoneWanderer he is absolutely perfect! Wonderful work mama! You were so patient and I hope your meal was satisfying!!

@Bittersweet hows babe’s diapers? My last was not getting enough milk but it takes ages for mine to come in, and she wasn’t having wet or poopy diapers. I think that’s the main thing to tell, even more than weight gain, and feeding on demand when she asks for it. Are you pumping or hand expressing? Might be worth it to try “power pumping” (google it!) if you need your supply up a bit or maybe take some blessed thistle I think it is that I took. Smells like a curry but it helps.

@Suggerhoney sounds about right to me!!

...omg my back hurts so much tonight

My back has been so bad today my my left hip and pelvis.
Baby still isn't engaged at all so don't know how that will work on induction day. Unless he engages between now and then or maybe even on the day.
Can't believe he's still not engaged.
