So if your little man is that big or bigger you'll be just fine!
Forgot to mention, She has put me on vitamin K tablets as with ICP you have a higher risk of hemorrhage when giving birth .. The other tablet she is putting me on is called Uric Acid... Hobb I hope some of this info is helping you. I would most def print info off for your dr because mine is pretty serious atm and id hate to think your the same and not being looked after.
I think he will hit 6 pounds pretty quick butterfly!!
I think you should be completely fine at 36 weeks to deliver! How EXCITING!!! :)Quote:

Pinkin - I'm sorry your body's misbehaving on you. Do some of these medications give you relief from the itching? I'm sure your little guy will be fine at 36 weeks - especially since he is measuring ahead.
It's morning now so I got through my solo night without going I to labour. I did have more cramps and contractions than usual yesterday, but I was also on the go all day and exerted myself quite a bit with physical activity. I feel normal this morning, though I was up at 4:30 with one of the kids and was never able to get back to sleep because Sadie kept head butting my cervix. Ouch!
Thanks Mocha, The Uric Acid should help with the itch ( I hope)
I am feeling upset I sort of feel like I am letting my baby down... I just hope he is born ok I shouldnt have looked up babies born at 36 weeks because I saw horror stories and such. I mean he wont be tiny but will they check his lungs before I am induced? She never mentioned that today or is that something she will talk to me about when it gets closer.
I had dreams of a large family but I feel like maybe this will be it for me ... Gosh being preg is hard enough for a healthy woman , I know I shouldnt be complaining because there are other woman out there with way more serious things happening but I just feel Horrible. And worried about my baby
Pinkin so sorry you having a hard time at the moment. My DS3 (Oliver) was born at 36weeks and he was just fine and weighed 6lb 4oz. I had the steroid injections to mature his lungs when i started contracting at 35 weeks but he had no issues at all (excpet the blood sugar issue that wasnt actually an issue, was a mistake they made). Im sure your Oliver will be fine being delivered at 36 weeks.
Cant believe some of you mummies will be holding your babies so so soon...EXCITING!!!
I had my mw appt yesterday and baby Charlie seems to be fine and she confirmed my suspision that he was head down, i have been having immense pelvic pain so thought he was. Cant walk, hurts to turn over in bed etc...i move like im a about 80years old. But on the plus side it was the first time i heard his heart beat on the doppler :D
Im trying to get my head in gear and get stuff ready for baby but i just cant for some reason. I dont know what i have got and what i haven't, i really need to pull my finger out and get things sorted. I also feel so unorganised with the birth plan also as i have said from day 1 that i want a homebirth and i have said it at every appt i have had, only yesterday i found out that a form has to be filled in for it??!! The midwife yesterday didnt do it tho, im going to a class on the 13th sept and then she said we will sort it the week after. I just feel like it feels last minute, a homecheck has to be done etc and i only found this out yesterday also. I feel like i have not been given all the info and time needed to explain everything. Im feeling a little neglected on the homebirth part, hopefully the class i will attend will shine some light. But then i worry it has been left so late they will not be able to get me a pool as they only have a couple of them :(
Enough of me blabbing on, stay well and take it easy mummies as these babies will be coming soon and you need to save your energy :D
HappyLea I am going to ask my ob about the injection I think it would be a good idea getting it and what harm can it do ?
A plus side to everything is I still have not even put on 1 kg!!!! I think I have lost half a kg so I am quite happy about that!
Oh I am no where near organised!!!! I need to get my bum into gear aswell!!!
I think thats a good idea pinkin, they gave me one steriod injection and then another 24hrs later to mature his lungs and if labour stopped and i managed to keep him in longer it would not have been a problem either, so like you say what harm can it do?!
Not just me then who isnt organised, im so normally done and ready by now. I too haven't put on weight but i put this down to my gastric band :D But im having horrible reflux which i also put down to my band :sigh:
I am in St. Cloud too!!! WOW small world!Quote:

I think I will print something out if the Dr doesn't call in the test for me today or tomorrow. I put in a call to him today but haven't heard back. I have an appt next week (I'll be almost 36 weeks then) so if they haven't done the test by then, I guess I will have to raise a stink. The thing that scares me is, it takes a while for the test to come back, right? :worry:
It can Hobb, But I had my last test done on wednesday and she had my results yesterday from that which was Friday
Both of mine were induced at 38 weeks Pinkin and were 6lb13 and 6lb14. It sounds like your Oliver is a good size and they wouldn't induce you at 36 weeks unless they were happy with how he would cope. They also want to look after you of course, so will just weigh everything up. I remember reading a very long time ago the stats on having a baby at different weeks gestation. 30 weeks was the turning point for a big improvement in outcome and 35 weeks was much the same as having a full term baby.
Those drugs are so expensive! So you are going to have to fork out $900 -ouch! Does everything return to normal as soon as you give birth? Or does it take a little while for your liver, etc to recover?
I have put on 10kg! (Just to make you feel a bit better!)
Completely disorganised here! I have done a fair bit of nesting, in terms of cleaning and sorting our apartment, but that is about it. Because we go on holiday when the baby will be 5 weeks, and then move house a couple of weeks after that, it is hard for me to wrap my head around everything.
Off to get some much needed waxing done this morning!!
Yeah I really need to talk to my ob about it all and just make sure that he will be ok, I would really like them to check his lungs first or even if she didnt id like to have the injections even if I can get them now so he is ok for when I am induced. I have been up since 3 am this morning scratching myself I cant eat or rest I am feeling so anxiousand uptight , its just the pits
28 days till due date :D
Woo hoo! It's September - let's start having our babies! I started a new thread here:
