Just checking back to see if there is any baby news! SO it turns out I'm measuring pretty small. Measuring at 28 weeks but I'm about to be 33 weeks. I don't have a Dr Apt again until Jan 19th, should I be worried?

No baby news here. :'(
Was the doc worried at all? If not, I wouldn't fret.
I was measuring 35 at 39 weeks after three weeks of decreasing measurements and they sent me for an ultrasound just to make sure baby was still happy and getting what he needed. Now in the last week and a half as he drops and has to come out of hiding, I've grown a huge amount.

Poor Raezdal going overdue! Ya I always measured 1-2 weeks small with my others too, but not this small, fingers crossed for a small baby!
Still no baby. :( Constant contractions - 3mins apart lasting 1-2mins - but they aren't effective. This is the most pregnant I have been. Find out tomorrow what happens if I go the last week to 42weeks.

Hi everyone hope everyone enjoyed their holidays!
Raezodal- Sure hope they will induce you! I can't imagine going to 42 weeks! You poor thing! You must be so uncomfortable. I always get the "stretch and sweep" starting at 37 weeks and that usually activates labour for me!
HI Princess mom! How are things going with your little girl? Did she do fine breathing on her own being born small and over 3 weeks early?
My midwife wouldn't do a stretch and sweep until 40weeks and baby was still sitting so high (my last 2 haven't dropped until I was ready to push) that she couldn't do the sweep. So it did nothing. Hoping today we have better luck. I'd rather not be pregnant till 42 weeks too. :(Quote:

Good luck today! I've checked and my cervix is already 1 cm, but baby hasn't really dropped, i can feel the head but it's not putting pressure on the cervix yet. What size of babies do you usually have?
Aw we dont get sweeps done till due dates earliest here too

The only time i had a sweep was 12 years ago with my 1st. they did at 38 weeks because i was already 2cms dilated at 36 weeks after that on other pregnancys they refused.
Raezodal i have been the same as that the last 3 too didn't drop until baby was well on their way.
Good luck

Very little change from a week ago: baby still high, cervix long and firm, dilated 1cm stretchable to 1.5cm. Hah. But meant midwife was able to do a proper stretch and sweep. So wait and see if that does anything.
Otherwise, ultrasound and nst today to make sure all is well with baby. And induction tomorrow. Dh is away for the weekend with my oldest and midwife and I agreed this was a better choice than risking going into labour while he was gone.

Yes my boys were very happy to stay along haha, they say your cervical length determines when the baby usually arrives so the longer the length the longer they wait, good luck with your induction :)Quote:

So ive had my growth scan & babys on 95th centile! 6 lbs already at 34 weeks so est 9lbs at due date. But there was a problem spotted- i have too much fluid, deepest pool was 9.9cm . So ive to get a gtt tomoro to test for diabetes as that can cause the excess waters but if its not that then it could be a number of things. Quite worrying as theyr saying babys head can struggle to engage until all the waters go and that then risks the cord coming first & if that happens it can be fatal for baby. Not what i needed to hear

Oh man Sharon. Sorry to hear that! They can be wrong about baby size sometimes though. Hoping you don't have diabetes! Maybe they will induce you early because of it all! That would be nice! I have my first OB appointment this Thurs. We'll see how I'm measuring. I've been losing some globs of mucus over the last few days, and my BH contractions are getting pretty brutal when they hit so those are good signs for me. I would love to only have to be pregnant until 37 weeks!!! Good luck Sharon! No news from Raezodal!
Aww pinkhelp goodluck for your app. Yea i woukdnt mind gettin induced early 2bh. My cot nd stuff arrives next week so need to start gettin organized. You pretty sorted for baby?

Sorry for no news!! My mobile data got turned on by accident so when I got to the hospital and had no wifi, I had nothing left. :(
Brendan Micah arrived Thursday afternoon at 3:15. 7h after insertion of Foley balloon for induction. Long story short, was my shortest and easiest labour. Only hiccup was I popped a rib out of my sternum during transition. Freaked me out (and it turns out my midwife though she didn't let on at all!!) It is getting better but such mundane things as driving (shoulder checks), bending over, moving or using my arms, transitioning from lying down to sitting up, even drinking through a straw...all hurt. :(
But the exciting part! Brendan was 8lbs8oz, 21" long and 36cm head. He is absolutely beautiful. Think he was gunning for biggest and that was why he had no intention of being born (he has biggest head of my 5, but heaviest was 9lbs1oz and longest was 21.75" so he had a little ways to go...another week probably would have done it lol)
Stayed in the hospital on "vacation" as long as I could (chest pain due to rib helped justify my staying). Am home now. Brendan is nursing like a champ. Still moderately high levels of bilirubin so I have to go every day to get him checked.

not sure why i cant see them!
eeek, got my pre-admit booked for the hospital for next week. Feeling closer now!
I'll be 35.5 weeks when i pre-admit so I'll be prepared this time! My third son I hadn't pre-admitted yet and it was a pain!
What happens at your pre admit ?
Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
they get you all put in the system your health insurance for the room, and your birth plan, and all your info so that when you show up in labour you just go up to labour and delivery and they have all your info and your epidural consent is already signed and all that. I live in ontario canada, I guess it might be different for other countries.
Yeah we have free healthcare so all our details are already in their system. Eek cant believe how close wer getting to seeing our girlies
