Thank you! And me too, I wait all day to go to bed and then lie awake buried in pillows! Plus needing a wee every two hours at least. It will all be worth it though!Quote:

Ok so let's talk Braxton hicks.
I've been having mild ones on and off for the last two weeks. Last night I had contractions that were coming every 7 mins. They were painful enough to wake me every one. I also had sweats with them. I have had 4 births. I know contractions and these almost made me head to the hospital bc shes still early. But they never got closer together than 7 mins and although painful never escalated.
When I woke up this morning they subsided but I've been feeling very crampy and off all day. I am finishing packing my bags bc I get the feeling she wants to come early.
Any of you guys get these kinds of contractions ? I've never had this with any of my others. Just mild Braxton hicks.

I’d go as far as calling my BH this pregnancy painful, they make me stop in my tracks!
But I would maybe get checked just incase?
Just do add I never got any BH in my first pregnancy but my god this pregnancy they are constant and even made me go to triage to be checked!
Are you going to do EPO Girlsway?
I started it with my DD at 37 weeks and still went overdue and needed an induction but it softened my cervix a lot which helped with my induction. I am thinking of starting this week (34 weeks) to help prepare for my induction in 3 weeks.

I haven’t but I’ve started eating dates! Do you insert vaginally or take orally? I’m not sure where to start!Quote:

I get bad BH, and early too. Getting BH after orgasm is an early normal and is actually how I knew I was pregnant with our first loss, which was an oops!Quote:

So with your SCH and so on, I would be wondering of you should be seen more right now, especially with your other symptoms! She might want to beat your induction date!
Ya I'll mention to my dr this thurs but I will bet he wont want to see me more frequently than 3 weeks. He doesn't even do every 2 weeks with me! I have my last ultrasound next Monday to make sure everything is ok.Quote:

Girlsway I inserted vaginally. Every time my midwife would check me my cervix got softer. I will get some and start soon I think.

Mama is there a certain amount I should use?
I actually dont remember how many I was taking unfortunately. The midwife reccomendedQuote:

What's EPO? With my son I took raspberry leaf capsules, when my waters broke I was only 1cm but the midwife said my cervix was very soft and stretchy. I'm going to take them this time.

Hey everyone, hope you are all well. I've had my steriod shots this week to prepare baby's lungs. It went fine thank goodness. Last time I had a lot of reduced movement but not this time, it didn't seem to affect the baby at all. I was hyper and couldn't sleep the last 2 nights, had bad heart burn and breathlessness, flushing. But I don't mind as baby was still moving fine which is such a relief. Really hoping I can sleep tonight.

That's good you had little side effects from it! How many weeks will you be at induction/csection date?Quote:

So now I am thinking I should try all the natural labour inducing things!

Oh that's frustrating mamabird but good that he's taking precautions. I'd rather they were over cautious than under!
My doc is still thinking of inducing around 37 weeks, I'm nearly 35 weeks now. He says he will try to break my waters and then see how we go from there. Still very nervous of everything but really want to give the VBAC a go.

I’m so sorry I never updated. My beautiful girl is here! She actually came 2 days before my scheduled c-section! I was 35 weeks 6 days. Delivery was rocky and she struggled at first but quickly recovered! She’s 2 weeks old now and healthy as can be! [emoji178]
We are all so in love with her and so thankful she’s here!

Congratulations! This is wonderful and what a beautiful baby!
Gosh I'm getting excited now and nervous!
Congrats mtolbert, she is wonderful:LotsofLove:
Huge congrats she’s lovely!!
I’m full term on Wednesday! Had my assessment for the birth centre I want to go to and they are sending me fora scan tomorrow to check baby’s size as I’m measuring on 90th centile, it’s annoying because my son was big but I birthed him naturally at a birth centre so why can’t they just let me with this one! Grr!
Hope everyone is well!
I just had my growth ultrasound today. I was measuring at drs 37 weeks when I was only 34. Baby is only 5lbs11oz. So I feel like sometimes they can be off.Quote:

Good luck Girlsway, you got this.
I was told my last baby was 10 lbs 4 at 36 weeks. He was born at 40 weeks weighing 8lbs 6! It's a very rough estimate.
I am nervous too yet this is my 4th.
I am somewhat nervous about size too ladies. I keep feeling like I was so different when I had DD and she was so small (under 7 lbs at 40 weeks). Both my and DH's families have a long history of big babies -- and the way my back and hips are feeling, I'm worried this one is lining up with that!
Scan estimated her to be 7lbs but they wasn’t worried!
I’m full term today, just had to share me extremely low bump lol!
Attachment 40450
I think she’ll be around 9lb at birth!
That's a cute bump! Looks like she's getting ready.
I am in excruciating pain with SPD now as well as fibromyalgia because I'm not able to take my usual meds. Having to rest while wanting to nest is driving me crazy. I can hardly move.
Girlsway you look adorable. Such a low bump!
My bump is still growing but I have stayed at the same weight for over 5 weeks now. I think I am losing weight other places?
It's kind of weird but I know she's still growing. I have definitely seen my bump a lot bigger though with my other kids.
Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk
Thank you both! It’s weird I never dropped with my son, I went 11 days overdue! Quietly hoping her being low means not AS overdue at least lol
I’m still getting the “OMG you’re huge” Comments, starting to really grate on me now!!
Girlsway I'm so excited you're about to deliver your dd!!! Cant wait to see a pic [emoji7]

Girlsway I can't believe how quickly the time has gone! Can't wait to see her x
Girlsway wow your bump is really low!! I’m going to make a prediction now that you will not go past your due date & may be early even!!! I know several people who were overdue with their first and early with their second (and I can think specifically of a few who had a boy first and then a girl). Looks to me like she’s ready to go!!! :) :)

Hope you’re right abc!! Would make a nice change not going overdue! Hope you and the twinnies are well I’m so excited for you ahhhh!Quote:
