October Babies! (continued)

[Pangea]

Congratulations Strawberrymom! Her name is lovely!

I was at my midwife clinic appointment yesterday, I have to go into the hospital on Monday to see the doctor where apparently they'll give me a sweep and book an induction date. I'm hoping I won't make that appointment because with both my boys I woke up in labour on the days of my 40 week appointments.
I'm feeling a bit better now that I have the prospect of a sweep which I've never been offered before.

Congratulations Strawberry, gorgeous name!

Pangea - hope you don't make that appointment

I had a midwife appointment yesterday as well and all is good, baby 4/5 engaged so still sitting pretty high which I knew anyway. I was so much lower at this point with the boys. Iron levels have dropped even more so no wonder I look so pale, hate taking the iron tablets though due to the constipation they cause but dont really have much choice now. Next appointment in 2 weeks which I hopefully won't make it to!

Congrats everyone on their new healthy babies! So exciting!

At my appt on Tuesday my midwife said she could stick her finger in and feel his head although it was still high, but I haven't been having anything but lots of BH ctx and lots of pain down there, no real labor contractions though. I hope it will be any day as I'm super tired of being pregnant too.

Good luck everyone and I hope all the new mamas are settling in nicely!

Anyone still waiting who is getting fed up of pains that lead nowhere?
I have almost constant period type pain, with braxton hicks thrown in through out the day. I know they are going nowhere but I still can't help but get my hopes up!
Today I am much slower, my back and hips and groin really playing up.
Got DS2s birthday on Sunday, then due on Thursday.
Can't believe its so close now, but still doesn't feel like his going to be here by then. This baby is looking more and more likely to be late.
Its been a week since my bloody show and nothing!

Congratulations strawberry! What a beautiful name! xx

My baby boy was born yesterday the 8th at 5:29! It was an incredibly fast delivery but with complications for me, as I started hemorrhaging blood and blood pressure got down to 50/30. Very scary! But all is good now and the baby is beautiful! Still working on a name and hopefully some pics later!

Congratulations! Hope you're doing okay after the scare-same thing happened to me with DS1 so I know how scary it is. My BP was 50/31 too. Looking forward to hearing the name xx

Ladies, I have to add its so exciting logging in and hearing all the happy news of baby arrivals. Can't wait til its my turn...but absolutely nothing going on for me labour wise so think it will still be a few weeks yet. Good luck to all who are getting close! xx

Ausiettc--Really, the same thing happened to you?? It was really scary, wasn't it? I'm just glad they were able to stop it.

We've settled on the name--Jude William. He seems to be a great baby so far

Good luck to all those having their little ones in the next couple weeks! I know it feels like forever away but they will be here before you know it!
