JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2014 DUE DATE CLUB - THREAD #3

AM the difference is that a midwife can deliver a baby whereas a doula can only help you with labor and be your coach basically.
I was induced with the boys and medicated so not really sure what labor feels like lol I was planning on doing everything the natural way this time around but with so much trouble and baby being as low as she is as soon as I go home and have my appointment I will be scheduling an induction and just try to do everything else natural (that's where the doula comes in)

Snips, so close!!!! So excited for you!!

Pumpkin, hope you and the babies are doing well, I can't wait to see pictures :)

Hi Everyone, hope you're all well :) Congrats Pumpkin glad the two bubs are okay. I have ligament pain, braxton hicks I went to midwife after I felt a lot of bearing down at my cervix and she said the head is already low in my pelvis but is relatively normal, she said just to be weary cause supposedly number four may be the fastest and the fastest for me was 1hr18mins!...
Anyhow just enjoying getting kicked and punched for possibly the last time and setting up baby room :)

Adiansmum where are you having bubs?

I'm having them at Peninsula Private in Frankston, how about you?
Just came back from my appointment, she's head down now and getting ready. She's got the cutest little profile, I love to see her when I got to the Doctor. She's measuring right for gestation and waving little arms everywhere :) OMG, time is really coming for us to have our bubs, hard to sink in but it is! :)

Just heard little one hiccuping in my tummy with the doppler! :giggle: Very cute!

Snipsnsnails you're so close now! How are you and baby? Exciting times! xx

Oh my goodness! I didn't know that could be picked up by doppler, so cute! Trying to imagine what that would sound like.

I've got a midwife appointment tomorrow. We'll see if he kicks off the doppler (again). Not sure why he doesn't like them, but every single time!

Happy belated mothers day everyone!!!!

Bunny - I'm doing good.. Trying to balance housework and time with the kids.. I can't do both or I'm in pain! So yesterday I got caught up on laundry, today I'm just playing with the kids. I'm going to the zoo on Friday for my sons field trip and I'm wondering what I was thinking when I signed up! Hahaha it's going to be a looooong day!!!

I'm doing good! Had appt today and about the same as last week. My dr. Doesn't put much stock in the dilating, indicating when I will go. She said it could still all happen at once. But I am still high so probably nothing this week. Is fine with me, rather go closer to due date.
As my name post thread said I was getting cold feet with our name. I never thought it would be so hard! Makayla just seems right for us:)

Melnc- I went on my sons field trip to the zoo last week and was worried. I did just fine but the bumpy bus ride home made my belly rock hard! Have fun!

I love it snips, that was one of my names too but DH shot it down so it's a no go for me!

If it feels right then you know that's the name :)

34+1 today and really starting to feel like a blob. Another midwife appointment this morning. Kicked the doppler off again - he really doesn't seem to like them, he does it every time! He's head down so looks like he's preparing for his birthday. All looks to be on target.
