At lunchtime the catering staff and midwives came in with a cake and sang happy birthday which was nice.

However, due to GD I am unable to eat the cake so they also brought in a specially made low sugar trifle.

Had a visit from Another midwife discussing section next week. There are 2 of us booked in, they like to do diabetic sections first due to overnight fasting. The other lady is also diabetic, but theoretically if she isn't on insulin I should be first, which would be approx 9.30 ish, if not it would be 11.30 ish.

They will also have to put me on insulin drip.

Nowadays they like diabetic ladies due to have a section to express some milk from 37 weeks and freeze it for when baby is born. However they don't want me to do this as it contracts the womb and they can't risk sending me into early labour.

Probably have to start the night before.

Had swabs taken today for msra.

Also baby could have problems with sugars and temps when born, they like to do skin to to skin as soon as born but that may be tricky due to section so the may give baby to DH for him to do skin to skin.

If baby's sugars are unstable, she will have to go on a drip!

How is everyone else doing?

Happy Birthday Lisa, aw that is so nice them making a special trifle for your as well as the cake. Blimey, that's a lot to think about eh? But it is getting closer hun and won't be long now.

Hi Fiona, welcome back and glad that you had a nice time away. Good luck for this cycle hun. fingers crossed for you.

Thanks Cry. I hope so too. I am confused with this one as I seem to have ov a lot earlier than normal. Hope this is a good sign. Good luck xxx

How is everyone else?

Hi, another sunny day here, done my circuits and abs/thighs classes this morning. How is everyone today?

 

[Oasis717]

Even lying down sleeping is a chore, with hip ache and then trying to turn over with a 37 week bump!

Baby still lying transverse/oblique so I am here now until after the birth!

DS starts his new secondary school today. He's been up since 5.30 and has to catch bus at 7.30, so DH has to get the three of them in the car and out by 7.15.

Hopefully DH will send me a photo of him in his uniform, but he will still have it on when they come to see me later.

 

[Creative]

Hope he has a lovely day at his new school and that your OH rises to the challenge!!

 

[Left wonderin]

Dance , how are the nerves holding up !! Not long now till you meet your LO xxx lying n hospital gives you plenty of time to think !!!! We're you all organised at home before you were admitted ? I hope your not too bored and are getting well looked after xxxxxxxx

 

[garfie]

Lisa - Poor you being stuck in a hospital - but not long until you get to meet your little one

When my eldest started senior school he left looking so smart - by the time he came home well lets say he was back to normal

I don't think it hurts DH to walk in our shoes for a while and I am sure he is up to the challenge

AFM - Not sure at all where I am in my cycle - think I had some EWCM yesterday - but my body has tricked me beforewill be back to temping next month at least I feel a little bit in control

Have a good day ladies

My DH seems to be coping well, although he is very tired!

Usually in the week he doesn't get up until 8.15 but since I've been here he's up at 6.00am when the kids wake.

His mom and my mom are doing the washing, but he's having to sort meals and lunch for the youngest at nursery.

From next week hot dinners start again at nursery so that will be easier for him.

Luckily I was quite organised at home. DS uniform all bought, all new baby clothes washed, baby bedding all washed, Moses basket msttress bought and all the other usual bought ie nappies, maternity sanitary pads and most importantly disposable pants!

I am hoping to breast feed but had also bought a tin of formula and bottle teets just in case. So lucky I had planned ahead.

 

[Oasis717]

You sound super organised Lisa! At least you don't have those worries. And it's no different turning over with a nearly 35 week bump lol. That's hard work now! But I had midwife this morning and she was really impressed that I'm still walking as much as I am. All my checks were spot on. Brooklyn is head down but not yet engaged. She confirmed I probably didn't go into labour myself with ds 4 as he was back to back and probably didnt engage properly so I'm really hoping that doesn't happen again as I want to avoid my third induction if at all possible after going through v much more painful labours induced than natural. I've never had a sweep but have told her this time I definitely will as however uncomfortable I will prefer that to induction! Xxx

At least Brooklyn is behaving himself by being head down!

Then again this baby was head down at 34 weeks. Didn't think she would turn as I have a biconaute womb which means there's not so much space to move.

However this condition can mean babies misbehave.

When I had section with my second they discovered the biconuate uterus then and said if I had another odds were it would be breach, however DS was cephalic and a vaginal birth.

I wonder if its a coincidence that the awkward ones are the girls!

 

[Oasis717]

Lol I don't know but Casey has been the most awkward re birth and he's a boy so who knows but yes pleased he's head down, I told her how he's been moving sides after spending the whole pregnancy on my right and she said they literally pirouette on their heads at this stage!xxxxx

 

[dancareoi]

They put me on the monitor again this morning which I like as iris so comforting,

Anyway, she was asleep so no movement and her HB hardly altering.

However a glass of water woke her up!

 

[josie1234]

Love hearing the updates on the pregnancies. Good job you were organised Lisa, and at least your OH is rising to the challenge, bless him. Becks - sounds like Brooklyn is nice and cosy in there. It is so exciting, I am on tenterhooks for you all. Creative and Regina - hope you are both keeping well and looking after yourselves.

How's everyone else? Dawn - at least when you start temping you will have an idea what is going on.

Mind you, my cycles never seem to be regular and seem to be up and down each month. Just went to toilet and think I am spotting a bit, not when I wipe, it was when I was checking CM and seemed a bit cloudy/tinged pink and then a small bit of red. Very odd. Never had that before on a cycle, especially at this stage of cycle. Hoping it is a good sign.

Have a great day everyone. Just worked out I will have done/be doing 11 classes this week. Blimey, tired just thinking about it. Getting more interest in Buggyfit so hopefully numbers picking up.
