Awww i need Thurs to hurry up I want to know if this blinking ECV is going to work.

Im over the fact I may need a section. I just want to know if I can start my RLT and get excited for a natural birth or if i ill be given a date for the op & need to add more stuff in my bag for a long stay...

Oooo Eaw! Maybe ull be the early one!!!!!! Xx

It's all so glamorous isn't it! We'll soon be nosing pregnancy tho once it's over.
I'm debating whether to ring triage this morning. Not felt baby move much since yesterday afternoon. I think she might have changed positions and gone more into my back because my bump has changed shape and my belly button has gone back in lol. I've felt the odd movement, but it's so gentle, nowhere near as strong as usual. I think I've talked myself into calling.....just need to see if MIL can come over and watch Oscar for is while we go in.
Xxx

Omg don't. I'm really bricking it now. Think it time i told hubby what been happening and get the car seat base attached to car!

 

[babyslog]

Jen id call.

I was up my assessment unit yeaterday for an hour at 4pm. Charlie was quiet most the day. Id rather get checked for peace of mind.
Speah at this stage in pregnancy. She reminded me again about this silly myth from yrs bk that ppl claim babies go quiet before birth. Which is a load of crap!
Movements might feel diff as they engage, but at no point even in labour should movements reduce.


Itll play on ur mind hun. It did mine. Thankfully it was nice and quiet up there, got seen as soon as i arrived and was bk home after an hour xxx

 

[jenni16]

I called they said to do the usual 'lie on your side for two hours and count', cold drink, sugary snack etc....I said I've done all that at some point since yesterday and still barely felt anything, so they've got me to go in. Just had a shower and waiting for MIL to come and pick Oscar up, then we'll head down. She'll probably wake up as soon as I get there, but like you say it's best to get checked even just to reassure xxx

 

[babyslog]

Charlie did he moved 28 times on the trace in 20mins Lmfaoo!! I was like OMG!!

Noah was always the same too!

But its not just that, they can monitor her HR so im glad ur going in hun.
Hopefully ull be in and out n back home before lunch xx

 

[Emmam1982]

Ooooh eaw it def sounds like ul be first....I'm like you in that I refuse to tell anyone how I'm feeling until I know somethings definitely happening. If I'd told baby's dad everytime I'd had a niggle this last week he would never have gone home lol.

Pleased you called Jenni, definitely worth getting checked out x

 

[bobkat]

You're doing right by going in to be checked Jenni. Hope all ok.

Eaw how exciting! Yep, best get that car seat base sorted.

No niggles here yet, bh on the increase, baby wriggling down lots but still think its bobbing in and out of pelvis, my bump changes height up and down every day at the moment. Trying to keep active and go on long walks with dog to encourage it along. But don't think I've a chance in hell of going early.

 

[Tigger87]

Oh exciting Eaw!! Hope somethings happening soon!! X

 

[Emmam1982]

I think I'm going to be late now,the closer I get to due date the further away I feel from giving birth (does that make any sense). We watched britains got talent last night and then said 'next time it's on we could be watching it with Logan here' but the more I think about it the more I don't think it will happen.
I get niggles every night but it just seems to be based on baby's position, I'm even having a moment where I don't feel like il ever have baby here x

 

[Eaw123]

Still loosing plug. It's quite red/brown at times. This ok?

 

[Tigger87]

Emma I always got told last time that baby will only make an appearance once you've resigned yourself to being pregnant forever more! It's shit when you get to that stage, but it won't be long.

My mum was suggesting June when this one arrives, she's clearly got no hope it'll be on time/less than 8 days over!! I'm quite ok with the fact I'll probably be late though, my expectations have changed this time around!! X

 

[sammielou]

Emmam1982 - I feel the same. I have not felt LESS pregnant than this since I was 5 weeks and didn't know I was!

Had a growth scan on Friday and I felt so... detached from it. The 12 and 20 week scans were amazing and I stared in marvel at my baby, really feeling like yes - this is real. But at this one, she's pointing out there's the nose and two little eyes, this is the leg bone etc, and I just felt like I was looking at someone else's scan. Like its some kind of trick and they have a real pregnant lady next door connected up to my monitor.

Sounds very normal hun!
Mine was pretty gross! Had it for 5 days before he arrived and tones more while i was in labour!
I actually called the MW into the loo st one point as i caught some in those bowls lol, i was like WHY IS THERE SO MUUUUUUCH!!!! Lol xx

 

[babyslog]

Tig if i dnt have a section i also really think ill go over!

Itll be a lovely surprise if i dnt lol! But i just cNt see it happening before my due date! X

 

[Emmam1982]

If it's dark blood it's fine eaw but if it becomes bright red or heavy then best to ring mw for advice.

I'm pleased I'm not the only one feeling like this....I'm determined to get out of my pjs today and sort the garden shed out as it's currently all over the decking thanks to the kids last weekend. I'm busy sorting my washing out and getting bags ready for the 2 youngest ready for me going in....I had started it last week but my 5 yr old decided he needed his backpack and has unpacked it lol.
Also got a mass of boxes ready for a tip run again thanks to my 5 yr old who likes to hoard boxes to play in and makes random stuff out out of any boxes he can get his hands on-we've got random homemade robots, cars, motorbikes and even a kite all made from full boxes that he's literally just put a bit of cellotape on or attached a bit of wool lol x

I remember getting to that stage with my last baby, he was 9 days late in the end, I'd had a sweep at 41 weeks but was deemed unsuccessful as my cervix wasn't reachable, I was resigned to the fact that I'd be induced and I went into labour the day after x

 

[Emmam1982]

Think I've slightly overdone it, I've gutted the garden, sorted the kids bedroom out, cleaned out the car and battled with the car seat base-back is agony now but at least it's done

We've just cleaned the cars and battled the base! Easier said than done them things

Yeah it took me ages....the last ones I had connected via seatbelt but this is isofix-convinced myself at one point that there must be more than one type of isofix because there was no way it was going in but after reading the manual again it literally clicked lol x
