Still holding at one per hour for almost 24 hours now
Bugger. I hope it either stops or your little princess makes her appearance.
Im almost hoping for the appearance at this point! Pain levels are killer. Ive tried to be as mobile as possible today to facilitate moving things along but the pain puts me back in bed
:( no good Nahri. Come on little lady. Give mummy a break xx
no kidding. She dropped a little more Friday and I had some temporary relief because her head wasnt directly on my pelvic bone. But when she dropped further it came back now I feel it in my tailbone!
My best friend my mom and my sister threw me a "sprinkle" today with a bunch of ladies from work. SO SWEET!!

How nice Linz :) I hope you had a great time.
How are you feeling Nahri?
I'm feeling a little nervous. The wife of an old school friend had her baby today (bub was overdue). They are sending them home because they have no beds available! That is so wrong!
I'm also feeling a little worried. Dh has come down heavy with what appears to be the flu. Let's hope the flu shot I had covers me. Problem is, he is self employed. Hopefully he is feeling better soon and not so stubborn that he doesn't rest tomorrow. He is in bed right now.
Omg Nahri !
I hope eveeything go well and painless for you
And I wish you a speedy delivery👏
I meant the breastfeeding cracked or bleeding nipples !
How can I prevent that ??
It's been a couple weeks again for me checking in. But I'm finally caught up and so excited for the upcoming babies! Nahri, I'm thinking of you!
I saw that some of you ladies also had to have pitocin during one or more of your labors. I had it for my first son because my water broke and slowly leaked so they sent me home, then it had been so long it was either make me take pitocin or a C section. I said no way- give me the pitocin and lets do this. It was a very hard labor, lots of back labor. I don't do epidural a, either so it was wretched pain. And he was face up until the last minute when he flipped, which dropped mine and his heart rate so low that there was a sudden rush of every nurse and dr to my bedside and I passed out for a moment. Well, he finally made it out. My second and third DS were much easier me quicker. My OB did tell me that this baby is bigger like my first, so I m hoping that delivery is still easier being the 4th.
I have been hving a LOT of pressure on my pelvic bone, my cervix are even feels sore and I have been extremely uncomfortable for the entire day today with Braxton hicks...at least they aren't too intense yet for me to think its impending labor. I could hardly move all day when I wanted to without discomfort. I was folding laundry, but trying to just take it easy after the past two days of being gone to parties and so maybe my body was just tired. I am 35 weeks today and I think that I might go early...I have never had them this often for such a long period of time with any of my previous pregnancies, so I just don't know. Also, part of my mucus plug came out yesterday, which could mean nothing but I cannot believe it's almost time!
I am so excited for everyone here too and I hope that all of the labor and deliveries go well for all of you!
Business woman-have you used lanolin before while breastfeeding? It does help, but also the latch that baby has can cause it. I had to use nipple shields with mine for a while to help. The trick is not to get the baby dependent on the nipple shield. So I alternated it every other feeding or less often to help mine get a good latch and to build their jaw strength. Then I weaned them from use of the nipple shield as well. It did help a lot!Quote:

business. Sometimes its positioning. Too much tug means more damage. I had to football hold DS to even get him to latch properly and to not do damage. If you are on the more endowed side like I am its so much easier on both you and bubs. Just put a pillow under your arm. Use lanolin after every feeding, the gel pads for healing cracks can help before each feeding so you dont have any pain if you do crack or get sore. If you did the football before and still got damaged, find a new position where there is not so much pull.

Lol Nahri she is causing you drama already ;)
Good luck to all of you coming close to your due dates!
Boysway- our hospital have been incredibly busy of late and have turned away two people I know in labour saying they need to go to the next hospital. This terrifies me!!! It's meant to be our safe place but not feeling very relaxed about it. If I wasnt a high risk pregnancy then I would have a home birth. Unfortunately I've had pre-e with both boys and likely to again. I e got a growth scan tomorrow which I'm looking forward too sing the baby again followed by my consultant appointment. Hoping I won't be told that I'll be induced again.
Boysway & Nahri
Thnx alot for the information !
I will follow your advice and hopefully I wont get crackek !
totally forgot to post this. I didnt get the video because my 3 year old killed my phone battery but I did manage one photo. This is the skull as if you were viewing it from the top down. Also goes to show you why some people ask for what type of ultrasound was done for ramzi. Her head is fully in my pelvis and this was not done vaginally. This is what can be accomplished by turning the angle of a abdominal ultrasound. The white streaks on the top of the skull and the sides are her hair waving around. Shes got LOTS if you think about that to scale!

i cannot believe we are already getting to the point where babies are being born!! i know i'm one of the last to go in august. 28 weeks on friday over here. i'm having slight spd...come mostly at night and on my left leg just like last time. i'm really, really hoping this is the worst of it though, because by 28 weeks last pregnancy i could hardly move!
linz your sprinkle looks adorable and so do you!
i'm being thrown a shower as well. our families are very excited for the little guy:)
Have had a growth scan today, everything looked good and normal apart from she is measuring small. So I've got another scan in 2weeks time. Anybody else measuring bigger or smaller? They said if she carries on growing but just a bit smaller then they are not concerned but if she isn't growing much at all then I need to have steroid injections to develop her lungs. So altho I shouldn't worry at this point I have to say I can't help but be a little concerned :(
Ugee, my little guy is measuring a week ahead and I feel it! I am huge! People keep asking if I am due in a few days...no, 4 more weeks!!!
Linz looking super cute at your sprinkle! Good luck everyone you will be holding your babies very soon!!! Xxxx
Remember Ugee ultrasound measurements can be off so can fundal height measurements. But if they are WAYYYY off then be concerned. If you are 30 measuring 28-29 or even ahead 31-32 its kinda here nor there. But if you are supposed to be 30 and measuring 24 you may need extra monitoring and scans possibly NSTs etc. Ultrasound weight equals head circumfrence, crown to rump or crown to heel, and circumference of the abdomen of baby. By these measurements they say that is how big baby is. With DS they said he was going to be HUGE oh no c-section blah blah. had him at almost 10lbs on the scan using that formula. He was 7.2 lol
Thanks, just wanted to know it's not just me. Both boys measured at target but then they are boys. I just don't want any added stress and keep thinking everything in the ultrasound was fine so I'm not worrying.
Someone I know was told their baby would be 11lb12!!! So she opted for a section. Her baby was big but not as big, she weighed 10lb10.
So true! I have a cousin who had a vaginal birth with DD1 and then OBGYN said she thought DD2 would be huge so she pushed a c-section. Her DD2 was like 8lbs. I would have been furious. Having major abdominal surgery all because of someone's speculation! NOT cool!!Quote:

You might just be having a smaller baby like I was which after 9lbs and 8lbs boys was rather a nice surprise!Quote:

Thanks ladies. Well maybe a smaller baby means no tears...here's hoping ;)
shhh ugee dont say that you will jinx yourself haha
Tearing and stiches .. a nightmare
i had the episiotomy done because they needed to forcep him out like a half inch because of my bad hip. I would have rather torn but apparently I had a good cutter because there is no scar.
Ugee, my last two girls measured small. In fact dd#3 was measuring at least 2 weeks behind at the 34 week scan. As a result with dd#3 & dd#4 I had extra ultrasounds and ctg's with both of them. Dd#3 ended up being 8 lb 2 oz and dd#4 was 6lb 4oz.
I had my 32 week gp appointment yesterday. I'm measuring at 33 1/2 weeks. I'm keen to see how bub measures up at my 34 week scan on the 10th of June.
It's funny really because all babies come out different weights! I guess it's just making sure they keep growing no matter how big or little they are that's important.
I had an appisiotomy with my DS1 and then naturally tore with my DS2. The natural tear was easier to heal and faster. So hoping that 3rd time lucky with nothing lol!
Well here we go again. 1 hour apart real contractions and now slowing down again. I had them check me today and I'm at 4cm. I know it could happen different this time but with DS I delivered 4 days later. She didn't tell me my effacementer percentage only that the cervix was favorable and she'd strip the membranes if I wanted. I declined that. The cervix check alone is more than I can stand for pain by itself.
Wishing you a smooth delivery Nahri. Fingers crossed this is it :D
She seems to like to fire up on the weekends which would be ideal because no lost work time for hubby! Spiteful little child that she is will probably make me wait again UGHHHHHHHHH
Cheeky little girl.
So excited for your delivery Nahri
