September Babies Continued

Hey Thorz your clever lill man!

Sounds like some of you are gonna have babies flying out very soon ;-)

Salsa that's exciting its sad but tbh I'm relieved to know my pregnancy is nearly over with!

Awww salsa your baby will be born on my birthday ;) I wanted that date but I wanted my dr delivering even more than I wanted that date and he only on call on the 27th

Have they gotten irregular thorz? It's too early for that little lady to be coming

Oh yay WAG!! That's cool! My DD is the 28/07 and this will be the 28/8 and my DS2 is the 29/9! So all basically a month apart. My darling DS1 is the odd one out 14/5!! Lol maybe I should go for number 5 and get a June baby! Then I'll have may, June, July, August and September babies!!! Hahaha no way! I'm done and dusted after this one! Well and truly!

Ill wait another week before upping the RLT dose then :)

Got the midwife today so very much looking forward to finding out which was up (or down) this little lady is. Feels like i've been waiting for this app for ever.

Aw thorz well done to your little man and how are you feeling now. Have those contractions stopped?

wow salsa 2 weeks, thats not long at all. Exciting stuff that we will be having some more announcements in the next few weeks.

All is well contractions stop when the gas went away! I must have just eaten something that didn't sit well with me!

I'm so excited a jealous of you ladies who are so darn close to being done and meeting your little ones!

Well just got back from the midwife and shes still breech :'( I could cry. I know theres still time but i really cant see her turning now, shes been this way for a while now and not moved.

Sorry to hear that Daltag!! Have they talked about manually turning her for you? I hear its painful but could be worth discussing??

I'm happy your contractions stopped!

I would be very upset with a breech baby too :( I'm sorry... I think u should try the version... Spend lots of time n ur hands and knees too... Which I'm sure you have.. Apparently there is some acupuncture that makes babies turn and there is a chiropractor adjustment too... I would be trying every thng


Salsa your kids all have very neat birthdays... Isn't it funny how something's happen...

Just popping in briefly but DLTAG, I want to point you to Spinning Babies Home Lots of and lots of ways to encourage that baby to turn. Good luck!

Hi ladies, just board crashing :)
My little guy was breech until I think it was almost 35 weeks, I tried the spinning babies techniques, I also played music everyday on my belly and he eventually turned on his own

Ive been trying a few things since i found out at 32 weeks like pelvic tilts and putting cold things at the top of my bump. They wont discuss anything with me either till i'm 36+ weeks so have to wait another 2 weeks which is going to be hard. I think i've spend the entire day on spinning babies too lol.

I really am willing to do anything to avoid a section. Was so excited about meeting this little girl but now just panicking and scared about a c-section. I know she still has time to turn but i just keep thinking about the what if's

I hate chiropractics and I really think this is the one and only reason I would ever let one touch me cause Ive seen it work for quite a few people I would def give it a go... So many people I know are having issues with their babies being breech its crazy...

Daltag I turned this baby transverse to head down and from back to back to the right way with stuff from spinning babies and the utube link I posted before (let me know if you want it again need to be on computer!) they keep telling me not to worry she'll turn each time but it is worrying especially at this stage. It's possible to deliver a breech baby vaginally especially as its not your first

I've heard about the chiropractor thing too so maybe worth a try good luck xx

Fish, glad you enjoyed your shower. Can't believe you held out on telling everyone it's a girl!

WAG, I'm so glad you did your research before taking that antibiotic, what was your dr thinking??? How have you been feeling otherwise? I've heard bladder infections can cause contractions so maybe that's why you've been having so many?

Thorz, glad you're feeling better. That's awesome about your DS! Are you still in bed rest?

Salsa, I am so envious of how prepared you are. DH didn't even set up the crib until after I had the baby and was still in the hospital even though we've known for a while that he would likely be early. We're horrible procrastinators lol. Also glad to hear baby is low, are you dilated or thinned out yet?

DLTAG, hope your baby girl holds on until after you're settled in your new place. Sorry to hear she's still breech but don't give up on her turning yet!

Hope I haven't forgotten anyone... trying to keep up!

So my little Julian is a week old today! I can't believe it. I'm really looking forward to watching him grow and become his own little person but at the same time wishing I could keep him tiny forever.

Life with 4 kids is going well so far. It honestly isn't as hard as I thought it would be, hoping I don't jinx myself here. It's been so nice to be able to get out and about with the kids so we can enjoy these last few weeks of summer together before they return to school. Julian is so laid back and easy to take him anywhere we go. He just needs diapers and boobies lol.

Southern so great to hear little Julian is settling in well and coping with 4 kids is proving possible!!! I have quiet freak outs somedays thinking about it! So I'm glad to hear its not a disaster for you! Gives me the confidence!
My OB hasn't checked me yet. He usually doesn't until I'm booked in for my inductions. I'm usually a couple of cms dilated though and usually about 50% effaced so I'm hoping it will be the same this time. Although I'll be induced a little earlier with this one than I usually am so we'll see. My inductions before run smoothly and quickly so again, I'm hoping this will be the same!! I've got 2 more wks, so the thought of bubs head on my cervix for that long surely means something will be progressing??

Thanks for the update Southern. Like Salsa, I find it reassuring that so far 3 to 4 isn't too chaotic.

I can't believe we'll have some babies soon. I'm only 33 weeks so I've got ages! Two more weeks at work (yay!) but then I've got some serious nesting to do. I do have a very big bump and according to my ob a big baby and I'm feeling exhausted and achy at the end of the day already.

To be honest I don't think I have a bladder infection... I have had a few in my days and I definitely know it! I know I was having the white cells basically this entire pregnancy bit never an infection and when I was talking to my friend she was saying she had the white cells her entire pregnancy and no infection... I know sometime their can be no symptoms.... But I don't know I'm doubting it... And I think the infection is safer than these pills... My dr appt is in 2 hours we will see what he says ... I'm not too happy with him tho

Ahhhhh I slept through the night last night... The contractions wer waking me a little but I was too tierd to wake fully from them... The first time ive slept in a week! Full term today! Yay! Now get the F outta me lol I'm so over pregnancy lol

Can't wait to see all the babies popping out soon!

Southern I'm glad your having a good transition... Cause I'm seeing the fiery pits of hell in my future... If any of you knew ds3 you would understand.... He will adjust tho... It's justmgonna be a hard road for a bit

Well i've had time to sleep and think about this little one being beech and feeling no better at all about it. Been doing everything i can to turn her but she doesnt seem to want to budge. Was so so excited about having a little girl but just feeling sad and deflated now.

Everyone keeps saying she'll turn and not to worry but its not that easy. Feeling so down about it and have 13 days to wait now till the next cause of action which is going to feel like a lifetime :tissue:

Glad it makes some of you feel better about having 4 kids. I was really worried how it would all work out. I'm sure there are going to be challenges ahead but the initial adjustment has so far been pretty smooth.

WAG, I hope it doesn't turn out to be as hard as you think. The good thing about expecting the worst is that reality rarely lives up to what we build up in our heads and therefor things seem easier than we expect. At least that's how it has worked out for me with each baby lol.

Here are a couple of pics I took for Julian's announcements..

Be honest am I over reacting?

My consultant told me that twin two would be buried with other babies who died before they were born with a little service arranged by the hospital. This seemed okay so I asked my midwife about it when we did my birth plan and she looked a bit uncertain and said she thought that as baby wasn't 20 wks (was 16) it would be disposed of with the placenta ;-(

I can't think of him/her being incinerated although the baby will have deteriorated in the womb it's still to me a lill person. But I'm also not sure I want it buried in my garden either which I guess might be the only other option

I have to call the berivment midwife tomorrow to discuss and im dreading it especially with two small boys who fight the moment I pick up the phone! am I over reacting?! Be honest

Oh I'm so lame even typing that post has made me cry

Oh Fish you are not overreacting AT ALL! I got tears in my eyes just reading that. It is very callous of the midwife to talk about "disposing" your baby! That's just awful. Your sweet little angel deserves a proper burial service as she/he was indeed a little person. You and your baby both deserve more respect than that and as a mother you deserve the chance to grieve, I think a nice service would help bring you closure. Don't let anyone rob you of the chance to celebrate your little one's life even if it was so tragically brief. HUGS to you mama.

Southern your little Julian is geogeous.
I keep on thinking how is my little one going to look..
Not long now. I have strong tightnings through our the day and night. They are very small conteactions, so things have started to move on.

Fish your not over reacting... I would personally probably burry the baby at home...if the burial by the hospital can't be done.... I def would not let them dispose of it with the placenta... That would feel wrong to me... It's your baby its still a life that you cherished

So my dr said there is nothing else he can give me and said that the risks low... Well I have really bad luck and I'm not willing to take the small risk... He said its my choice and I'm risking getting a kidney infection... Ummmm if I had a bladder infection would it not have showed on my dip stick thing today? Cause it didn't

Yes when I was preg with ds3 I prepared myself mentally for hell cause I really did not have any idea what life was going to be like with ds2 having severe behavior problems....in the end it turned out amazing... People constantly said I don't know how your doing it... Well if you saw what I expected then you would see lolcause this is amazing compared to what I was thinking... I just don't see it being the same this time cause ds3 literally oly likes me I feel like he's going to fel abandoned... I'm going to try very hard to keep his number one on the other side of it I think it's going to be good for him in the long run... I think it's going to help him become independent and he will need that so his school transition is easier too... Even this school is a ways a way still

Southern what a beautiful little boy, those pics are fabulous! I love his hair!

Fish I'm with everyone else, you are absolutely not over reacting, you shouldn't just dispose of the baby! Not many moms I know would be ok with that. I personally would want the choice of where to bury my child!

Omg every time I look at a calendar it freaks me out lol! 13 flipping days!
O I forgot to mention I had an u/s today :) he is a he :) and he measures 7.4 right now so it looms like he might be smaller than my last two :) I know th u/s is give or take a 1/2 pound but I have hope lol

Thank you ladies, my friend had a silent miscarriage (baby died at 9wks but her body didn't realise) and they found out at the 12 wk scan and ended up taking baby home as hospital said the same...

On brighter note as acupuncture failed booked reflexology for Friday! Excited!

Lol I was just about to book some acupuncture but the price was holding me back... I don't want to pay hundreds for something that will happen regardless

Fish I agree with everyone!! You are not over reacting and what a difficult thing you have to go through right now. I'm so sorry. You are such a brave and inspirational women I know you'll get through it x x x

Southern Julian is just delightful!! So precious!!! Just looking at these pics gets me so clucky and excited about my upcoming arrival!!

Here I have a couple of photos of a different nature. Our hay plant business burnt down last yr-it was tragic and devastating and at the time I couldn't see how we'd ever be able to re build what we had created over yrs of hard work
Anyway, I'm happy to say that we are now about a month or so off opening our brand new plant!! It's been so much hard work for my amazing husband! I had to show off a couple of pics-this has been built from scratch.... With surrounding land also ours with some new oats in the ground Attachment 13107

Oh wag call around my acupuncture was £45 which is guess is only about $55?

Oh salsa wow that's amazing how exciting for you and dh, can't imagine all that space haven't seen anything like that since I was in oz the sky is so much smaller here!

Ah thank you ladies an hour till I call her wish me luck ;-)

Southern how are finding time to pose your gorgeous lill man with 3 boys! I'm not sure I made to have 4 kids ;-s he's so perfect hope your dh is able to spend some time with you xx

Aw fish thats terrible, was it the midwife you usually have that said that or is that who your talking to this morning. Hope the call goes ok and you get the news you want. Big hugs x x

Salsa wow, thats an amazing amount of space, i bet your little ones love having all that to run around and play in. Lots of luck with everything and hope the rest of the build goes ok.

Southern your little man is so gorgeous, such cute pics too :)

Still no change in babies position. I wake up with a little ray of hope each morning that she might have moved but nope, hopefully todays the day.

Oh daltag how annoying swimmings supposed to help?!?

So spoke to berivment midwife she lovely no they would never do that all still born babies from labour ward go to the undertakers for burial she's going to come down and see me on Monday when I'm at the hospital so relieved and she said we can say no to an autopsy too which I think we will I can't think of them poking the baby around and as its not like repeat miscarriages or anything I think I'd rather they left her be

Thank you all for your support we do seem to be a dramatic lot on this board

Oh fish, I'm glad you are feeling better about it once speaking to the midwife. Still a very emotional time for you, I'm thinking of you lots x x x x x

So I am trying the nipple stimulation.... 3 times a day 15 mins a nipple for an hour... Some study shows that 36 percent went into labour within 72 hours of this when done for three days I believe .... I really really want to beat induction! And the 36 percent was compared to woman who did not do it and of that group only 6 percent went into labour in the 72 hours... So I'm giving it a shot....

Acupuncture here would be 90 for the consult and then 55 per treatment :s I just can't spend that kind of money on something that may not work... It sucks cause I really did want to try it

Okay bubba your eviction notice is served 37+1 today time to come on our please ;-)

Ohh fish how exciting, we could be getting some more babies very soon. Glad you get the news you wanted when you spoke to the midwife too x x

How are you feeling today wag?

I know i keep going on about it too but still no change in babys position :( I'd love to go swimming too but its difficult with the boys and me not driving to get there. One can dream :D

Lol fish that's basically my FB status the other day when I turned 37 lmao

11 more SLEEPS

So my best friend lives over an 8 hour drive away and she and her bf are doing some kind of road trip next Friday this would be the only chance she gets to see the baby for many months... So my goal is to have him before next Friday... Easier said than done right lol....

Im getting a stretch and sweep on thurs if I'm still preg... With my first son it was so easy I walked up a steep hill and there he was the next mornig lol

I'm feeling pretty. Oral actually... Just woke up and last night I apparently didn't have contractions strong enough to wake me


I really hope your baby turns...I personally would be devastated :( my biggest fear was a c section... Have they talked about doing a version? Or are they making u wait even just to have that conversation? If its an option do it!

Oh daltag booooo bad news! Everything crossed for you, you've still got 4 weeks is it? My consultant says they often turn in labour especially with 2nd plus bubbas

Reflexology lovely recommend over the acupuncture, no contractions as yet gonna keep praying ;-)
