September 2021 due date babies!!!

[Suggerhoney]

@Neversayno beautiful! Sorry it was so rough though!

@Suggerhoney no I haven't, other than when baby is shoving her bum outwards!

It's OK hon not all womon get them.
I've been having them since about 22 weeks but it's only been the last week or so they been painful.


So been a busy day today. I wrote the names in the uniforms and the uniforms are now all set for Friday. I've even got there PE bags ready.
We had surprise visit from my MIL and FIL they said they wanted to see me b4 Saturday.
There having the kids for us on Saturday they said to call them as soon as we hear from the hospital with a Time.

We also had my nanna and brother over and my nanna says my bump has definitely dropped now.
Will find out tomorrow if he is engaged or not.
I also cooked a nice dinner.
Tommy's just gone to bed so gonna sit with DH and watch TV and chill out now.
Hopefully I can fall asleep earlier tonight so then I can get up early without feeling like something from the living dead lol.

@Zoboe95
Wudnt it be funny if we both went in at the same time to have our babies.
Hehs

Don’t know if I reported but I decided on Margot for her name after our nanny Margaret who passed away from cancer almost 2 years ago

she’s feeding and bringing up wind like a little trooper!!! I’ve managed to projectile vomit over half the ward haha

 

[LoneWanderer]

A spectacular achievement! Hope you are feeling much better though. Glad to hear she's doing well. Such a lovely name!

 

[Zoboe95]

@Suggerhoney that would be cool! ....I feel ready odd tonight ...I don't know why, just do! I think partly I'm looking for signs, because I really don't want it to happen until the weekend at least! She feels so so low, like I want to wet myself low oh the joys of pregnancy! She has spent most of the evening hiccuping and wriggling, and I don't know, it just feels weird!

@LoneWanderer iv bottle formula fed all of mine as I can't produce enough milk and all have had bright yellow poos it's a good thing. Pretty sure they sale pale stools are signalling high jaundice but don't quote me on That! I dont have Instagram so when u finish on here will miss your funny updates!

@Neversayno what a gourgeous name for a gourgeous girl!! Can't wait to hear a birth story if you write one (obv no rush) sorry it was awful but hopefully they got good painkillers on board now x

@Suggerhoney Good luck at the scan tomorrow and remember they can be off so don't panic too much

 

[Catmumof4]

@Zoboe95 Really hope you don't go into labour if you don't want to, maybe try a warm bath it might help settle her

As for me ladies I no I have the uti and the sod but this pain in my left groin mixed with the pressure im suddenly getting on my cervix and feels just inside my lady parts is horrendous! It's so so painful I haven't been able to get downstairs until I took a full 5ml of oramorph and then it only took the edge off! I'm so worried but don't want to go in again. Yesterday I had a speculum and everything was as it should be but it feels like she's dropped like a stone in water I can suddenly breathe again. Any ideas? X

 

[Neversayno]

I’ll be sure to write my birth story soon it’s really very short involving me swearing a lot lol

 

[Suggerhoney]

Growth Scan done.
He's still on 76th centile and 7lbs 1oz.
Consultant appointment went well. BP normol. They didn't do any internals or even bump measurements because of the scan.
All set for Saturday now. Still getting time on the day.

 

[Zoboe95]

Got midwife today, not expecting much though to be honest, she's pretty useless! I was looking up visiting rules online last night, and it said it depends which unit you are giving birth on...there are 4 different units in the hospital it could be, and no one has told me which I'm booked into, I didn't even know there were 4! will hopefully find out today!

 

[MadamRose]

@Neversayno congratulations she’s beautiful and a lovely weight. Sorry the c-section was rough! Hope you heal well.

@Suggerhoney glad your appointment went well, not long to go for you now!

@Zoboe95 hope the appointment goes well!

@Catmumof4 sorry you had such a scare hope you are feeling better.

@LoneWanderer glad things are going well and you are healing well. Sorry about the uti.

I will come back with a birth story, Everett is really alert in the day he’s having periods of 3 hours awake so not had time to write it up. I’m not complaining about him being so awake in the day as he’s already doing 6 hours at night!
The midwife was in awe when she came to do his 5 day check, he’s got a really bad tongue tie - bad enough for a referral to the children’s hospital where it will be sorted within 2 weeks, rather than our local hospital (9-14 week wait) yet he actually put on 10 grams by day 5. She said most babies don’t do that let alone one that has a tongue ties as well as also almost being admitted to hospital for jaundice (we were sent to a&e when he was 3 days old but the doctors did his levels as said he was just low enough not to need light therapy. Midwife said with all that they’d have expected him to lost 10-15% of his birthweight as a breastfed baby!

One bloody week already.
Exactly, actually. 14:58 - he was being hauled out this time last week.

 

[atx614]

@Neversayno yay! Congrats! She is beautiful and I love her name. I’m so sorry the section sucked though. So glad it’s over.

@LoneWanderer ugh one more thing to add to your list lol. Hopefully antibiotic will clear up the uti quickly. And as a bonus it will probably keep any infection away from your section cut.

@Suggerhoney so glad your scan went well! Looks like he will be well under 8 pounds!! Can’t wait until Saturday!!

@Zoboe95 i hope you find out today too! Hopefully the rules are about the same
At each place.

@MadamRose im glad they are taking care of the tongue tied early! With my son we didn’t until 6 months and I just had to pump for him cause his tongue tie was so bad. This time I know to take my daughter in as soon as we are discharged! Since my son and daughter had it they said this one most likely will too. I am so glad he is gaining though! Your milk must be good!! Lol

Tbh I was so shocked. I was so expecting him to have jumped to the 98th centile and really thought about 8lbs.

My DH has predicted 7lbs 3oz all along and the man doing my scan said it looks like DH will be right.
But I do know scans can be out so I'm still not convinced he's gonna be that small.
I still think he will be around 8lbs.
Guess we will find out soon.



Worrying thing is my platelets are low. But have been the whole pregnancy. They're a 25 and my consultant told me today if they Drop to 20 I won't be able to have a epidural and will have to do it completely natural.
This is really freeking me out. He said it's probably unlikely they will drop that low and I should be ok to have a epidural but he just wanted to pre warn me.

If I can't have a epidural they best give me a section becuase there is no way I can do it without esp the pushing a Bit.
No just no.

I've told him I want to try as long as I can on just gas and air and then get the epidural when I can't handle it anymore.

There gonna do bloods when I go in on Saturday.
I had bloods done today but think it was just liver function and bile acid.

 

[Bittersweet]

I’d love to keep in touch too! Lone I’ve followed you x

 

[Bittersweet]

And you suggar s

 

[LoneWanderer]

Urgh so something is NOT right with me, but I dunno what. Got all the signs of a UTI - so painful to pee, keep getting the shakes for no reason, feel really run down etc - but test came back clear. Ditto swab for scar infection. So god knows.
