Third Time Lucky - Fingers Crossed!!!

[thethomsons]

Lou omg so close now!!

 

[bagpuss19]

That's great bagpuss!! Now relax and enjoy being preggers! When do you get your next scan? The difference between early scan and 12 weeks is amazing!

Lou, sounds like your body is building up to something, I can't wait for you to have your baby

Good luck mommylov, chart looks promising for Ov and you certainly covered all bases

Elaine, sorry to hear you and OH are having a tough time, take it easy. And yay for tri 3!!

Saw MW on tues and hear heartbeat, most amazing sound!! She also hear baby kick. I have felt a few more definite movements last couple of days and it is so reassuring feeling baby move around, I love it!!

Twinkle scan at 13 (!) weeks so 8th may. Would really have liked it to be 12 weeks with recent history. I wonder if its worth bringing it up with midwife or not?

Good luck Lou!!

Still stalking ladies

You are all getting there - hoping I can be 4th time lucky

Loving all your updates

[mannymoo]

Any news Lou? Only 2 days to go!!!

 

[Lou15]

Thanks ladies, no news I'm afraid! Still lots of period pains and having to pee EVEN MORE frequently, but this little man just wants to stay put I think!

Hoping that cervix will be favourable for my sweep tomorrow!

 

[garfie]

Aw good luck Lou a sweep normally gets things moving within a few days.

Sometimes they can be a bit painful so practice your breathing

I take it you've tried all the natural remedies

Hot curry
Walking
Sex
Castor oil
Bouncing on a ball
Nipple stimulation
I know there are some teas you can drink - but I never tried them

I can't think of anymore I tried

Apart from walking up and down hills - but god was that knackering and in the end after all of this he was still 2 weeks over

My youngest is still bloody stubborn now

[mommylov]

Lou, your little fella just loves the little home you have made for him the past 9 months hehhe. Hope that he comes soon!!

Good morning to you all and happy monday!

 

[Lou15]

Thanks Garfie! Have tried all of the above except the castor oil (too scared of the potential vomiting/ diarrhoea/ both) and the teas (too nauseous!).
Amazingly, despite the nausea, have managed hot curries, lots of sex and lots of walking (including up and down hills!) but to no avail!
A bit nervous about the sweep but keen for anything that may help at the moment! I will update tomorrow evening!

Yes, Mommylov, you're right, seems it's just too cosy in there!

 

[thethomsons]

Good luck Lou so so excited to hear your birth announcement!!!
Pop tart - how are you?? Is baby here yet???

 

[mannymoo]

Good luck Lou. Can't wait to hear how it goes!

 

[mannymoo]

Oh and Cheryl - just remembered you were having your wee man today!!! Hope all goes really well and look forward to seeing some pics. xxx

 

[Lou15]

Last I heard Cheryl's baby had turned head down but she was going in today anyway.....good luck Cheryl, please update as soon as you can, so excited for you!

And I think PopTart must surely have had her baby by now? She was 2 weeks ahead of me, and I'm full term now! Please update PopTart, hope everything is ok!

 

[Laubull]

Hi girls!

Sorry I am so crap at updating at the moment. I just wanted to say fingers crossed for Lou and Cheryl on your up coming births, I hope both go as you have planned

I will try and read back on the other pages soon, but hope all preggo girls are well and all those trying get their BFPs very soon.

Hugs x

 

[Lou15]

Well no success for me today at all! Cervix was completely unreachable, so midwife couldn't do sweep, and doesn't look like I'll be giving birth any time soon. Consultant said they could try to induce me if I really insisted, but that he wouldn't recommend it as my cervix was so unfavourable. He said that 11% 1st time mums who go into labour naturally end up needing a caesarean- but for induced FTMs that increases to 33%- and the risk would be even higher for me with my cervix the way it is. I am so disappointed- seems my period type pains have been doing absolutely nothing! I also have high BP and proteinuria now so looks like I might be starting with pre-eclampsia- have to go back on thurs to get BP checked again. Consultant wasn't too worried as my BP was 148/88 which (according to the latest flow chart apparently!!) isn't too high, but as the midwife pointed out, it is very high for me - my BP has consistently been about 100/60 throughout my pregnancy. Oh well, back to the waiting! Just trying to keep focused on the fact that one way or another he will be here within the next 14 days, which is nothing compared to all the time we have been trying for this baby, and of course the length of the pregnancy.

Hope everyone else is ok, sending my love xxx

 

[mannymoo]

Oh how disappointing Lou. At least you know that you will have your little bubs in the next 2 weeks for sure! I say put your legs up, get a good series to watch and make yourself comfy. Enjoy the time off. Hoping the BP doesn't go up any more and that things start to happen naturally soon. xx

Also saw on Cheryls other thread that baby is head down so they are going to try natural now.

 

[mommylov]

Oh Lou, Im sorry to hear! I hope that things progress for you here any minute. Normally we send dust here but Im sendign you Labor Dust heheh. Hope your little man comes soon!!

Cheryl, good luck today and cant wait to see pics!

Hope everyone is doing well!

 

[thethomsons]

Aw hun sorry u are still waiting, try to focus on having it to look forward to wont be long xxx

CHERYL - any news?

Pop tart - same ?? Xxx

 

[CherylC3]

Hey ladies we went to the hospital and the midwife said baby's head down and engaged so we were given the choice so after I cried at every dr or midwife I saw we decided best just to come home and start bouncing on my ball and get plenty pineapple in me lol.. Booked for a sweep on tues..x

How are u ladies doin?x

Lou sorry ur sweep didn't work Hun..lets hope u get a natural birth..x

Elaine and manny can't believe how far on u girls are now. X

Mommyluv hope u get ur BFP very soon Hun..x

Where's pop tart?x

 

[bagpuss19]

Lots of comfy babies!

I feel so yuck today I had forgotten the joys of ms and now suddenly at 9 weeks nothing fits or feels comfy. I also forgot none of the shops have maternity wear its all online so have spent a small fortune ordering a big selection that will prob go back. So pleased to be at this point tho sick and fat yay :/

We need some baby news and more bfps!

Xx

 

[Lou15]

Thanks for the support ladies! Am trying to just relax but struggling- can't stop worrying about whether baby is moving enough now and the fact that I have a headache- prob all just because I know my BP is high now and it's making me paranoid!

Cheryl, great news that baby is head down now but it must have been tough thinking you were going to meet your wee boy yesterday and then finding out you'd have to wait. I cried lots at the hospital yesterday too, a bit embarrassing, but I just couldn't stop! I suppose they're probably used to us heavily pregnant ladies getting a bit emotional!

Poor you Bagpuss, morning sickness is just horrible. Hopefully your nice new maternity wardrobe will arrive soon to cheer you up!
