OMG southern, good luck, I hope all goes well. Praying for you and your family that you and your little guy are healthy and everything goes smoothly.
Southern good luck, you keep on having your babies early and I am sure he will be fine. Keep us updated.
I look I am full term already and still 5wks to go to full term.
We can't decide on the name, time is running out!
Omg southern I hope he's doing good! I can't wait for your update!
I have 50 days to go!
Southern all the best!! Really thinking of you and your little man and hope it all goes smoothly for you. Looking forward to your update! I know you must be nervous but I know it will all be fine and soon you'll be cuddling your beautiful boy x x x
Hey southern any news?
So saw consultant today baby now measuring 33 wks (I'm 31) they are worried I have diabeties so more blood tests! They are going to induce me either 38or39 wks they will assess me on 19 aug to see how favourable my cervix is lol! Just taken raspberry leaf capsules and evening promise washed down with pineapple juice lol!
I've managed to stay pregnant thru the night. Just when they were going to give up my ctx started spacing out and have been about 5-6 mn apart. Ive got my epidural as the pain started to become unbearable. The goal is to buy enough time for the steroid shots to kick in and help his lungs. I get my last steroid shot at 8 tonight so hopefully he will stay put til then. My labor has basically stalled at the moment but they will have to stop the mag tonight after being on it 24 hrs and then my labor will most likely get fast and furious from there. Thanks so much for the thoughts and prayers.
Well I'm happy he's styled put cause really everyday counts at this point and the steroid shots are important too!
How are you doing?
Oh southern that's good news! Hope he stays put till those shots have worked xx
Southern that's great!!! What a good little boy!! I have my fingers crossed he stay put for the last steroid shot! And hope the delivery go smoothly when it happens x x
They've gone ahead and stopped the magnesium and so far my contractions haven't intensified much. I'm in shock but this little one may stay in another day if things don't pick up again! I'm so happy to be off the mag as it makes me sooooo sick. Everyone's positive thoughts seem to be working. Thank you :-)
Yay I hope it stalls as long as possible :)
Are you dilated any more now?
I've heard magnesium makes you very sick :( doesn't sound fun at all
That's fantastic, Southern!
They haven't checked me again because they don't want to prod around down there and risk making things worse. As long as my waters don't break, contractions get a lot worse, or I feel pressure my OB wants to leave things alone.
I'm glad he is still hanging in there!!! The longer the better! Keep us updated! I hope you are able to get some rest! Thinking of you!
Southern that's good news, I hope your little one decides to stay for a while longer. I hope you are not too exhausted from it all and you managed to get a good rest at night. Thinking of you.
Glad to hear you both doing well southern. You must be worn out though, are they keeping you in hospital? Thinking of you x
Had some last meetings at work today and that's it! I can be with my boys now and we can enjoy the last month and a half or so together before the little one arrives. Off on holidays on Thursday but I will be checking your posts.
Southern I really hope your little one can stay put long enough. Must be hard to just wait and see what happens. Keeping my fingers crossed for you and your little man!!
Girlsway that's fab news congrats! I've got a pay nice today while on mat leave and my friends decided to organise me a baby shower!
Good news all round today!
Southern thinking of you hope all going well guess your stuck in the hospital hope your managing to rest xxx
Aw girlsway i bet thats a huge weight off your shoulders. Can put your feet up a little now too :D
Aw fish i bet that was lovely, was it a suprise baby shower? Did you get lots of pink too.
Went to see the midwife today for the whooping cough jab and they didnt have any, had my bloods done tho and nearly passed out :(. On the plus side the little lady is still head down and has been since 26 weeks so fingers crossed she stays that way.
Daltag that's great news! The shopping cough hurts you were saved ;-) she's just decided to organise it not sure when it'll be no one irl knows its a girl but maybe I should tell them ;-)

40 ways to induce labour! Some new ones to me!
Girlsway- I know it feels great to spend time with your boys and prepare for your baby girl!
Fish- how exciting for your shower. I would tell them it's a girl if it were me!
I'm still hanging in there. Had an ultrasound done to check my cervix and the doctor said it was so thin he couldn't even see it on the screen. Basically not much keeping baby in but I'm happy for every hour I stay pregnant. No hope of going home before baby comes so I'm stuck on hospital bed rest. I'll have to live vicariously through all of you and the things you all are doing!
How is everyone else feeling? Anyone else getting anxious? Even though I always wanted 4 kids it has only recently hit me that "OMG I'm going to have 4 kids!". Sounds silly but as it gets really close the reality is hitting. I know it's going to be a blast but there will be challenges too... eek
Very happy ur preg still :) I hope you make it til 32 at least
I'm feeling rather annoyed a this second lol kids are driving me insane ... I want to lock myself in a closet
I've been having a lot more contractions the past 3 days now... I'm not too worried about them they never turned into the real deal with the others so I wouldn't expect it this time but I will get checked if the start regulating obviously
I was thinking of doing labor and delivery alone this time well with drs and nurses... People think I'm nuts but DH is going to have to stay with ds3 I think cause he has too much separation anxiety and I. Not traumatizing him... Anyways DH is useless anyhow so I don't care... But there is no one I care to share this with... It's a big day... And I shouldn't share it with people I don't want to... My flipping cousin literally has kept inviting herself to the birth! The last person I want there... My best friend lives 8 hours away and she won't make it obviously :( my mom... I don't know we're not on the best terms right now.... Do people do this alone or am I crazy? Cause it actually sound nice lol other than the fact there would be no one to take pictures of the little guy....
The midwives would take a picture for you, I couldn't do it on my own I have to say I will kill my dh if he doesn't make it ;-) however better to have no one than someone who's going to put you on edge in my opinion!
Southern glad your still there! Yes I'm thinking if people are going to get gifts it's daft not to tell them ..........might see what dh thinks
Well done Southern!
WAG, I read somewhere that mammals tend to retreat to their "safe zone" when in labour and that obviously, that place is different for everyone. For some people that's at home, for others in hospital etc. So if you would feel more relaxed knowing that your DS3 is with your DH then I don't think that's crazy at all! Everyone's labour "space" is very individual.
I agree with Mum and Fish, you need to do whatever is going to help you feel the most calm and relaxed for labor. I'm sure the nurses would be happy to take plenty of pics.
Thanks :) .... I just think having ds3. Somewhere I know he's not going to be happy is just going to stres me out beyond belief...I don't know maybe I will make my mom come... Just invade their we're complications...
Are you still preg southern?
Ugh it's only 8 am and I'm ready for the day to be over!! I'm ready to tie up all 3 and make them watch shows for the rest of the day..... They are all being so naughty and I don't have the patience for it!!
Thorz I hear you. I've just had such a tough day with mine. I'm so over being grumpy at them, but it's school holidays here and I wanted to make use of that time to get a few things sorted around the house in preparation for the baby. I don't get much of a chance during the school term as I am so busy every day with the kids hobbies and activities. Problem with staying at home in the hopes of being productive, I have 3 kids climbing up the walls driving me spare!! I just get nothing done when they are around! Soooooo frustrating!! I feel I'm always grumpy and yelling at them which I hate even more than they do!! Ok, little rant over!! I hope your day ends up being better than mine was! I couldn't even get kids outside to burn off some steam as we had a really rainy day here. Fingers crossed tomorrow is a little smoother
On another note-I think I may have a UTI. It really hurts when I pee, and I'm getting some achy pain low down in my pelvis. Will try and see my doc tomorrow if they'll fit me in. So uncomfortable, just adding to my grumpiness!!
Thinking of southern and hoping things are going ok??
Def get that checked out salsa ... Don't want any pre term labour ... In the mean time drink tons of water...
My boys were a nightmare yesterday, must be the hot weather but the argued over everything all day. Thankfully they have been a little better today. Had a visit from DS1's teacher and they loved him which is good. Its crazy here at the min, i don't possibly think more could be going on in our life. Buying a house, having a baby, DS1 starting school and i'm learning to drive. Most people don't do all that in a lifetime let alone all at the same time.
Thinking of southern too, wonder how her and the little man are doing.
My crazy bitch of a neighbour strikes again and this time hit me where it hurts! She called family and children services saying that I don't watch my kids lmao made laugh cause I'm a crazy over protective mother lol...but I am sooooo mad! I want to kill her! Like really I'm a good parent and she's just trying to cause problems for people she is insane! Last week the cops were called on her cause she was yelling racial slur at an 8 year old! Now I live in a good upscale neighborhood well upper ... And this is shit I would not expect! And I have to live next to her! What am I going to do we don't have money to move but is she gonna keep doing things like this! What is she getting from this!?
Wag does she have kids? Sounds like the green eyes monster to me ;-s
I don't have gestational diabeties yeahy
Daltag it's not even that hot were just so not used to it my two are driving me insane too!
She has older kids like in their 20's she's lived here over a year now and seemed perfectly normal and nice and for some reason has turned into a psycho! How can someone just tell lies especially where kids are concerned! if my kids got taken away cause she's a liar I wont say what I think I would do but I'm sure you can all have a good idea
Okay so feel size of house confirmed when two people have said to me when are you due and I've said 5th and they've assumed August ;-s
How's everyone else doing?
Wag hope your neighbour has settled down
Southern awaiting a birth announcement with excitement and dread ;-s praying for your lill man xx
I know those days are hard when all the kids seem to be acting up. We've all been there and it's hard but tomorrow is always a new day.
Salsa- hope you got to the doctor, let us know how it goes.
WAG- sorry you're still having to deal with that crazy lady. Just not fair you have to go through that at you own home, which should be a safe peaceful place.
Everyone, including myself are in shock that I'm still pregnant. I've started to have more cramping and mild contractions today but the meds seem to be helping to keep them from getting into a pattern. Basically it's one day at a time.
33 wks this weekend, time is ticking. Our house is upside down with building work nowhere ready for an early arrival. Despite looking like I could give birth (that's what my father in law thinks too) I have a feeling she might be late or right on time. But if I am wrong and she is early and the house is not finished we are in trouble.
Those who have c-section planned how long do you have left?
Souther you posted at the same time as me. I am glad your little one is staying put. I hope hospital is not too boring for you, but its good to be safe.
