Oh lone I hear ya on the jaundice! We are hopefully almost done got to go to the prolonged jaundice clinic next Tuesday to be checked over but honestly the rate she’s poo and feeding I’d be gutted if she was still near the line!
She gained 60g I meant to say so she’s 7lbs 6oz now
 
@Suggerhoney ahh thank you! So I have to call at 6.15am to make sure they don’t have 5000 emergencies but they said not usually any issues, head up for 7am - I’m first on the list apparently (but I swear I heard the lady on antenatal tell another lady she was first on the list for Tuesday the other day).

could have a few hours wait could all be over and done with by 10am! Going by how @LoneWanderer got on I’m not pinning any time on it!!!

I’m all alone now! Pottering around, writing some thank you cards to go with the chocolates for the antenatal clinic and wards etc all the staff have been wonderful!

need to get a bag of food together for snacks and some squash as I don’t drink tea or coffee!

it’s all feeling very real now and the days have flown by!! I don’t know where the last 10 weeks have gone if I’m honest but I guess the house move and break up helped haha
 
Even it takes ages, this time tomorrow baby will be here! Eeeeek exciting, good luck! Lemme know if you want any recovery tips - five days in now and I think I've got the hang of survival pretty well :rofl: So far my best recovery purchase has been a litter picker for grabbing stuff off the floor...

Must say though, I do regret taking a walk round the entire hospital and grounds - probably covered a mile and a half - while pushing the toddler. That was perhaps overdoing it because I'm bloody knackered now. Only one parent is allowed on the kids ward though, and other half speaks doctor quite well, what with being a lab tech there, so figured he'd do better getting the info and translating it for me later.

Anyway we got home early aft today, got to feed the baby loads to get the jaundice out, just means making him wake up even when he's super sleepy. But he's already brighter tonight, wide awake and took a full bottle. Not too worried.
 
@LoneWanderer
I'm so glad he is ok hon. I hope the jaundice passes quickly with the extra feeding..
He is so precious and so cute. His little face makes me melt.

@Bittersweet
So glad she is doing mucb better now hon.


So I'm still hear freeking out about having a huge baby.
Dh is as layed back as ever saying he won't be big.
He doesn't even think he will be 8lbs let alone over' but I just have this feeling he will be.
Hope I'm wrong.
 
Hi all

@Suggerhoney I don't think 37 weeks will be huge, don't panic hun what will be will be xx

@LoneWanderer sorry about the jaundice glad you got to go home though

@Neversayno how exciting! Can't wait to hear how it goes! Good luck xx

As for me I have a bad water infection that has irritated my uterus and they are worried will make me go.pre term, iv got antibiotics and at home again now with instructions to drink as much as possible to flush it out and rest so not to irritate it further! Thanks for all the well wishes xx
 
Wow, had a busy few days here, and got very left behind!! ...I have read through, and am thinking of you all, but can't work out who to say what to at the moment but yeah...sending love to anyone who needs or wants it!!

Living on the edge tonight...we had an Indian takeaway, and my curry was quite spicy ...that could have been risky at 36+4!! I cannot go into labour until at least Friday when other half is out of isolation
 
@LoneWanderer thanks hun! I have a 9 year old to pick things up haha lol I actually have a litter picker as my mum has them!

I was super lucky with my c section after bear and I was in Tesco’s 4 days later doing a shop! Hopefully this will be easy and ok
 
@atx614
I hope not hon. I just get so panicky because I've had a big baby b4 and it was the most hurendous painful and scary birth.
So I'm always worried about going through that again.
Hopefully because it's 37 weeks he won't be big at all. I guess it's just the unknown making me on edge.

@Catmumof4
Thank you hon. Just now it's getting close I'm getting a bit nervous. Had a big baby b4 and it was so traumatic.
If I was having a section I wudnt Care about babies size but the thought of pushing another big baby out is terrifying me.
But hopefully as it's 37 weeks he won't be big at all. Growth scan mite give me more of a idea on Wednesday morning but I know there not the most accurate.

So glad it's nothing serious hon and just a UTI.
UTIs are horrible tho and so painful. I hope the antibiotics kick in soon and u feel much better soon.
Definitely drink plenty hon flush that bugger out. I had a terrible UTI at 21 weeks with Tommy and I thought I was going into pre term labour because it irritated my uterus.
Was horrible.
Make sure u rest up too hon.
Thinking of you.


@Zoboe95
Haha a good old hot Indian.
I wudnt worry to much hon.
I tried everything to get my second baby out from 37 weeks i tried
Hot Indian curries
Hot spicy pizza
Red Raspberry leaf tea
Tons of pineapple
Running up and down stairs
Running up and down hills
Jumping up and down
Squatting.
U name it i tried it.

I ended up going 2 weeks over due and had to be induced at 42 weeks.
Needed the pessery too..

So I think ure be ok.
Touch wood.




So I've noticed tonight I have swelling in my feet and ankles. They were fine yesterday.
The sole of my swollen foot is supper itchy too.
Haven't really done much today so don't understand why I have the swelling.
I've only ever had swelling once in pregnancy and that was at 27 weeks with DD and it was pre eclampsia.
I do have consultant Wednesday and if still swollen will show him.
Blood pressure has been fine throughout my pregnancy and last time it was checked was last Wednesday and it was normol.

Unless it's because we did all that walking on Saturday.
I definitely did not have any swelling yesterday tho I've just noticed it tonight. Slight ache in upper right quadrant too.
Not painful painful just achey.
:shrug:

Haha yes indeed, I was wandering round town five days post section with #1, didn't know why all the fuss as I felt great! Gotta be honest, the second one has definitely felt more like I've just had major surgery :rofl: - more pain, less mobility, more issues etc. Still manageable but god, I dunno if I'd do it again.
 
@Suggerhoney i was so relieved when they said I had a uti cos of the fibro sometimes normal pains feel a lot worse. I actually said yo my oh before I went in I hope it's just a wee infection. Something that can so easily be treated!!

@Zoboe95 careful with spicy foods hun my sister went into early labour at 35 weeks cos of one lol!!!

@LoneWanderer seriously that was exactly like me first section I was fine bit sore but running around basically like normal in a couple days but second one was horrendous. They ripped me on my right hip too much so for 48 hrs I couldn't sit stand or even lay in any kind of position. Luckily that isn't common apparently really scared this time I'm having my 3rd section and being sterilised at the same time!

As for me has anyone's 3 year olds just randomly turned into a scream monster before? All she does is scream if she wants something, literally can't get a word out of her or any sense into her!! Trying to teach her that she can't just demand my oh take her downstairs every day at 3/4/5 o clock. I had a horrendous dream that Sophia was crying in her Moses basket and I was stuck in pain cos of the section but oh was downstairs and couldn't hear me calling him because Evelyn wouldn't stop screaming. Woke up nearly in tears!! Got family support next week so will mention it to her but if anyone has any ideas in the meantime I'd be greatful xx
 
Waiting on the ward!! I wasn’t first! The First Lady very anxious and wanted to be put to sleep so she’s gone down first! I’m raring to go! Little lady is very active the bays are full 3 babies all crying!!

Is it weird that I don’t feel anxious?!

This little monkey woke right up last night about 8pm, drained two bottles in as many hours, pooped his life out, and has been perfectly normal since. Just fancied giving us a fright yesterday I guess :rofl:
Still sleepy - he slept 2:30 til 7:30 and is back asleep again now - but he is eating and seems absolutely fine. I thought I'd worry less with second baby but nope, this one has me on edge more than the first one haha!

@Neversayno
Good luck hon. Thinking of u and hope they get u in soon.
Can't wait for a update either when ure ready tho hon no pressure.


@LoneWanderer
Awwwww and awwww and awwwwwwwwww.
So glad he is doing better today hon.
They do like to keep us on our toes don't they.


My swelling has gone down alot today so think it was from all the walking on Saturday.
Sleep was crappy. Bad hip so had to keep turning over and needing to pee about a thousand times.
Loads of tightenings.
It starts at the bottom of my bump and wraps itself around and my back get achey then it eases and all pain eases.
It's not agony but definitely painful.
Never gets consitant tho so i know its just braxton hicks.
Wondering if there doing anything? Probably not.

Time seems to be dragging. 36+3 and its just going so slow now.
Was planning to do all the uniforms today. Put names in and get them all sorted etc but I just feel so blah and no energy.

My nanna and brother are popping over later because my nanna wants to see me b4 I go in to have baby.


Other than that nothing else really to report.
Just ticking along and waiting for Saturday.

Wondering if they will check cervix tomorrow to see if I will need passery or not?

I have to be up at 7:30am to be up the hospital for my growth scan at 8:30am.

Wish time wud go faster
