I never had any issues with Oscar, he moved non-stop - he still does now lol. I just said to OH, she's moving a bit more, but it seems like she only moves when I make her, like if I poke and prod my belly, lie on my side, eat/drink something. That's just not normal at all. I don't know what to do :-/ xxx

 

[babyslog]

Thats what charlie was like yesterday morning. Like i was forcing him to move cos i was pushing and poking the poor sod!!!

Obviously played up when I got to hosp lol.

But your getting this daily Now hun. Trust your instincts. Keep going up if you are not happy xxxxx

 

[kanga86]

Yeah having to make her move isn't very reassuring is it and not normal. I would just phone up again hun if you are still worried, nothing like the fear of sitting at home waiting and wondering if you're gonna get a movement.

My boys were never like this either, I was telling hubby last night it must be this mischief maker wanting to catch up with his brothers in causing us worrying!

That being said Harry gave me a nightmare labour and pnd, James ended up in hospital at 3 weeks old due to a knee infection and needed 5 weeks of iv antibiotics and 3 operations so this one is just starting early so hopefully the labour will go well and after will be smooth too lol xx

 

[jenni16]

I normally wake up to a good beating from her so it's definitely not right. I've just had some cold orange juice (so nice in this heat!!) and she's moving a little, but still doesn't feel right. Think I'm going to call up again :-/ they said it would probably be induction if I go in again. I've been saying I want her out for weeks, but now it might be a possibility, I'm so not ready!! Xxx

 

[Emmam1982]

He's gorgeous! Loving the outfit. You ended up changing his name then? He's gorgeous, congratulations!!

Yeah we've named him after my dad.....it was nice as no one knew we was thinking of changing it x

I know I feel the same I have been so desperate for him to be here so I can physically see if he is ok but now it's actually a possibility I'm so so scared and feel so unprepared! xx

 

[jenni16]

It's so scary. I don't want to get her out before she's ready. But at the same time, I don't want to leave her in there if she's not happy or somethings not right.
OH is stressing bless him and has just been sick in the shower xxx

I didn't name Anna until I saw her but we knew it was our favourite name we surprised people by adding Mary into the mix though.

Jenni I would def be going in- I know how awful it is - my son only moves about once a day in the last 30 weeks and I was constantly in getting ctg's just to help my anxiety levels.

Kanga I'm sure everything is fine and quite exciting that you potentially could be meeting Your LO today or tomorrow

 

[kanga86]

Your poor oh Jenni, I know mine is struggling too as he just closes himself off from everything. Stops talking and is really irritatiable.

I've just had breakfast and then going on the ctg machine. He will probably kick up a storm as I've only just eaten and barely ate yesterday! xx

 

[IheartDex]

Congratulations Emma! He's a beaut.

I've been having reduced movements too but she usually picks up a bit round lunch time. Enough for me to stop worrying anyway. I'm like you lot though, I don't really know what's normal anymore and I have no one to watch Dexter to go in to be monitored until a Tuesday and Wednesday. I'm in for a sweep tomorrow so I'm hoping I feel content with movements until then, although I've not had anything yet this morning. Urrrrrgghhhhh.

Official due date today. Xxx

 

[babyslog]

Oooo happy due date hun!!!!!

He's exactly the same, doesn't like to talk about anything until it's happened and done with.

Just having breakfast and getting Oscar sorted, going to drop him at the in-laws again then head over to the hospital. Don't know what to expect :-/ xxx

 

[kanga86]

Keep us updated Jenni, I hope it all goes well. My monkey has just done some of the biggest movements I have felt in days whilst on the ctg! Feel like I'm going crazy, but I know they are normal squirms and rolls so not doing it the past few days still has me worried.

On handover they did say the plan could be induction or just to continue monitoring Hoping the doctor is in a good mood today to say induction! xx

 

[Jojo84]

I think hospitals are surprisingly bad at keeping us fed and watered! When I was in I had had nothing from midnight the night before and they didn't feed me until about 2pm (2 slices of toast and a cup of tea) then I didn't eat again until 8pm and that was only because I said I was starving and it was only a sandwich. The next morning iOS t toast again and got to 1pm and found out we were supposed to get or own sandwich from the fridge! No hot meal was offered at all which is pretty bad considering we had all just had babies

 

[jenni16]

How frustrating Kanga that they're changing their minds. Hope you get a good doctor who sticks with the original plan.
The doctor said to me that it would be induction if I go in again, but I guess it all depends who is on today.

I can't stand hospital food, I'm so fussy! I was quite happy having toast, cereal and sandwiches when I was in with Oscar, although I haven't had a turkey and stuffing sarnie since haha. It's bad that they didn't offer you proper food tho Jojo.
How are you and Anna doing today? Xxx

 

[kim88]

Oh my goodness congrats everyone, is there anyone still pregnant here haha.
Had a sweep yesterday, I'm apparently 1-2 cm were as last week I was closed so somethings happening in there! No show or anything since little bits of plug maybe. Was having regular Braxton hicks all day which is normal for me lately but got my hopes up a little then the usual fell asleep woke up and they where gone! So frustrating. At least I know somethings happening as they could barely reach my cervix last week never mind get in but this week she could reach it and managed to do the sweep. I really want to avoid induction or c section again! Cmon baby! Xx

 

[kim88]

Good luck kanga hope you get the option you want! Xx

 

[babyslog]

How are you and Anna doing today? Xxx

Doing well thanks
Anna slept 12:30-5:45 again which I'm very thankful for (even if my husband did yawn and say "well, it's not 8 hours is it?" Which is irritating! Our baby is a week old and sleeps and just just needs to be thankful. She for weighed yesterday and they're really happy with losing only 6oz especially as she's sleeping through night - I did have a cry about the brwast feeding thing though and feeling bad like I'm failing her by not doing it but the mw was bey good and said its not my fault and I'm
Doing great - she actually advised against expressing because Anna cluster deeds every 1.5-2hts and last time I expressed I got depressed and had to stop.
