I was feeling movements on both sides at the same time when bubs was transverse a few weeks ago. She is now head down and I can feel the bum up the top slightly to the left.
Sorry you are having such a bad time Burakoam. I don't think it is good that your Dr won't prescribe something for your reflux. Can you get Zantac or Nexium over the counter there?
Thanks! That makes me feel better!Quote:

5 weeks until the due date! Looking forward to seeing some baby announcements in here soon :)
So jealous I still have 6 weeks of work to go!! [emoji29]Quote:

Ive got 1 more week of work left, how slow is it going to go?
Cinss I feel you that last week will drag I am sure
Baby flipped and dropped at some point late last night or while I sleep...All I know is I have a lot of weight in my pelvis and started waddling today. I have feet high up near my Ribs. other than that I only have large movements when her butt and hips wiggle. I'm also peeing every freaking half hour I swear.
I hope it doesn't go too slowly for you! Much better effort than me working so much closer to your due date.Quote:

That is great baby flipped Burakoam. I can't remember if you were planning a vaginal or CS birth?
Who is going to be getting scheduled dates and who will be waiting it out? I will be waiting since I'm hoping to birth at home still but definitely see many positives in getting given a date of when bubs will be born if it has to be that way.
Waiting it out, might be induced butbthats something to chat about at the 38- 39 week markQuote:

Purple, My workmates did hold a lunch/shower for me and another girl who is also pregnant at 33 weeks which was lovely.
Cian has finally gone head down but is not engaged yet. Im eating ice like its some sort of addiction, so weird I just cant get enough.
Anyone familiar with essential oils? Trying to find out if one carrier oil is better than another for clary sage and rose oil..
Carriers oils that are good are jojoba oil and coconut oil :)Quote:

Congratz on your girl :)Quote:

Coconut oil (the one solid at room temperature) is comedogenic- means it clogs pores. I would use Jojoba oil which mimics sebum produced by skin- it is considered low on the comedogenic scale.

Plus, you want something that will better assist the absorption of the essential oil into the skin- like Jojoba oil. Coconut oil (the one solid at room temperature) is more occlusive, meaning it will create a barrier on the skin allowing more of the essential oil to rub off since it will not penetrate the skin as quickly.

If you prefer to use coconut oil, I would use MCT coconut oil (liquid at room temperature). It has a great fatty acid profile that absorbs into the skin quickly allowing a greater amount of essential oils mixed with it to penetrate the skin. Plus it is non-comedogenic (will not clog pores).

Yes Clary sage is supposed to stimulate the cervix for contractions :)Quote:

My little girl arrived 38 weeks and a labour time of 40mins at home in my birthing pool all on my own as hubby was in work abd midwife didnt arrive in time.
Not actually sure if any of the above did work at my 1st 2 labours were quick and were 38/39 weeks. Had my waters broken 38 with my 3rd and then labour was only 45 mins only drank rasperry leaf tea with him.

I'm so worried about mine being too quick! Did you set up the pool on your own? I just can't imagine doing it in labour but maybe I will practice so I know what to do. I keep assuming labour will just start like last time which was in the morning when hubby was home.Quote:

My midwife just asked me to start with the evening primrose capsules this week :) internallyQuote:

He fetched towels for me checked on his brother and opened the door to wait for the midwife.
But she was too late...i only had a few strong contractions before my little girl was born in her membraines and the cord around her neck twice but with it all happening so fast i didnt have time to be scared. Instinct took over.

That is an amazing and empowering story rainbow. dont even know you but i feel proud of you as a fellow mom and woman :) good job
Well I am only 32 weeks but basically on baby watch. Today during my appointment the doctor expressed concerns about my sugars so they are going to put me on glyburide for sure, not metaformin like I was told By endo. She went to listen to Samantha's heart and her heart rate was over 200 BPM. So she listened for a bit and after a few minutes she was back to 140's but she said that in itself is a sign of fetal distress. I now have weekly non stress tests to pass with Sam and a growth ultrasound every 2 weeks until delivery. It's looking like they are planning on getting her out ASAP instead of that Mandatory 39 week date
Let this be a karma lesson to me since I thought I was going to have to work hard to get her out and now it looks like I'm lucky if she stays in
Blah another heat wave in Australia this weekend that's the 4th this year getting up too 43 degrees [emoji274] think that's about 110 Fahrenheit [emoji30]bring on winter [emoji1360]❄️
I hope everyone is travelling well?!
We are all good, 30 weeks sore and swollen but getting there, a few more weeks until maternity leave and I can slow down a bit, can't wait! Hoping to get induced with this Bub at around 38 weeks, never been induced before both my boys came on their own but my last was a week early anyway and here in a few hours only just made it to hospital which is why I might be induced.

Hope everything stays stable so you can get to at least 37 week Burakoam.
The worst part of the heat wave has passed us now. The last few days have been terrible, although I have pretty much been in airconditioning most of the time I still have super puffy feet! Next week is looking nice weather wise for my first week of maternity leave!
so sorry for the heatwave for those of you who are heavily pregnant...thats no fun at all :( hope you can manage to stay cool!
Last shift at work today yippee! Now I have 2 weeks to get everything ready, have to put together the change table and pram, install the capsule, pack hospital bags and I think thats all.
Yay enjoy!!Quote:

My next midwife appointment isn't until the 24th. And to top it all off this morning I went and did an underwater maternity photo shoot lols
This boy is still and always has been so low and head down ready to go.
I'm currently 31 weeks and I'm hospital trying to keep Bub in. Got admitted last night after DH and I had some fun and then I started bleeding and passed a big clot, had some mild cramping/contractions was hooked up to the ante natal machine till 4am until they died off they gave me medication to stop it and it worked, and also 2 lots of steroid injections 12 hours apart just in case he came. But all looking good now it's 8.30pm and I should get to go home tomorrow morning once the dr gives me the all clear. I prob just need to slow down a bit, but working, was meant to fly out for work Monday, having 2 kids, a husband, school runs, and to top it all off my grandma died on the 15th so have been trying to help my mum who's not coping as best I can. Have to get better for my grandmas funeral on the 23rd, going to take this week off and get some bed rest as best I can.
Hope your all well. Can't wait for the first Bub announcement, it's going to be so soon!!!
