Morning Ding Dongs :wave:

Having a day of visitors Every time I come on to post the door goes or the phone rings!

PK sorry the SA was worse and the whole IUI thing is still up in the air. Like Coral said, I think we take it for granted having our NHS. I really hope you can save that well earned cash x

MC well done for cutting down, that's great news! Loving the bump pic, growing lovely. I think you have a good sized bump but not massive at all x

Coral, tell me about it, cold n dreary here. Make you wanna go back to bed x

Caz, enjoy the gym x

Puppycat, FX for you still honey x

hey Tink, enjoy your visitors!

Why do I do it to myself? I'm all paranoid now that I picked the c-section date too soon! I think I should of picked the 19th now just to make sure baby is developed enough? I've been googling c-sections before 39 weeks and scared myself now!! I will be 38wks+3 days according to scan dates but only 38 weeks according to LMP. I won't see the consultant again now and I'm all booked in the hospital. I feel bad now for being impatient and risking bubbas health

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Aww Coralista I decided to do a little reading myself. As far as I can see this advice is on the basis of 1 study. I can't find any other evidence to suggest an increased risk before 39 weeks. Its a well known fact that there is an increased risk of respiratory problems with C-section delivery versus vaginal. Your also more at risk of loosing a lot of blood during delivery. BUT the reason you have decided to opt for elective section is because you have weighed those risks against the risk of a VBAC. I think such advice is all well and good, but what if mum goes into labour before the section if you put it off till too late? surely that increases all the risks also? Who's to know exactly how long they could have waited with these mums since normal term delivery can be any time from 37 weeks?

If I was you I would have booked the same date x

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Oh and all the figures are worked out from a group of women delivered from 37 weeks, so the earlier ones are counted into the risk factor they calculated (2 times more likely to suffer respiratory distress) x

 

[coral11680]

Tink thanks for looking it up also. I just hope I've made the right decision. Ryan was born exactly at 39 weeks and was fine but am a bit worried about having this baby at possibly 38 weeks? I will mention to the midwife when I see her and see what she thinks. It's good to know you would of done the same

 

[puppycat]

Coral I'm sure your consultant would not have agreed it if he didn't think it was safe try not to worry yourself and just enjoy the lst few weeks of your pregnancy xx

AFM I think I have a UTI, I've wee'd loads today and it's clear as clear wee can be plus I have just been and straight away feel I need to go again, got lower back and low low stomach cramps/ache. :S

What fertility specialist did you choose?

we haven't chosen one yet i've put it off until we see the urologist and get the results of dh's SA. i'm kinda hoping they'll say they need to do bloodwork to try to get more answers. in any case, i know the fs will want dh's SA too, so that's also why. but i was thinking of making 2 appts. one with who you suggested and the other at a different clinic...my gyn said this other doc (i can't remember his name right off...i'll have to get the card out) used to be with the same one you suggested and then started his own. i don't know though. where are you at with everything now ttc?

I just read DH's SA results. to you and I will keep you guys in my prayers. I actually went to The Center for PCOS on Friday the 13th and Dr. Winslow upped my dosage of Metformin and put me on birth control to get my estrogen levels back up and and my testosterone levels down. My blood work came back and my testosterone was the highest possible in a woman. DH said I am going to start growing a set of balls..... Anyways....I will get reevaluated in 4 months and we will go from there.

Dr. Winslow practices at the Florida Institute for Reproductive Medicine or F.I.R.M downtown as well. I highly recommend him. He isnt very chatty, but will listen well and tell you the direction he thinks you need to go. He is also very detailed. TMI....TMI.... he went as far as doing a vaginal US while was here. I told him we could wait and he insisted. GROSS!!!! Anyways.......enough about me.

I know I am not on here alot anymore, but I read up every couple of days to check on you girls. Good Luck with everything and keep us updated.

Hi not long back from Durham so bit tired, but hope everyone is in good spirits

SB praying your ok and been thinking about you today, got everything crossed for your scan tomorrow

Coral i had Gage and Korben at 38wks... gage was really slow growing from 30wks and the consultant wanted me to get to 38wks as they class that as full term? Then said he;d thrive better out. Korben came after a sweep but weighed a healthy 7lb 5oz your princess will be fine sweetie

PK it seems you take 3 steps forward then get knocked 2 steps back, im praying you have this so wanted new addition to your family by the end of this year

Hi caz and all other ding dongs. X

Oh pops did either gage or wade have any breathing problems? I'm so worried now it's all I can think about

Gage only needed a bit of oxygen when born but that was because the cord was round his neck twice and korben perfectly fine x

 

[coral11680]

SB good luck Hun, I agree stay positive, are you having any cramping? X

 

[sleeping bubs]

a lot more than spotting about the same i got with period not fulling a pad but quite alot when go to toliet.

Coral i had cs at 39wk was ment to be 38w but no nicu space incase lo needed it as sfga and lbw was meant to go to nicu straight away but didn't as had NO breathing probs. Don't worry doc would have said something.. Nope no cramps or pain.

 

[puppycat]
