July & August Mummies <3

[BabyWomble]

Oh wow!! I would think if you’re contracting they’ll need to give you your section? I assume you’ll find out in the morning, so long as nothing happens before then?
Goodluck! I can imagine how overwhelming it is.
Hope you’re doing ok.

Just spoken to the MW looking after me overnight and she said they’ll be giving me a cannula in the morning as I’m nil by mouth. Not eaten since lunchtime so I’m starving already! Hoping I can get some sleep but I feel like the contractions are going to get worse as when they come boy do they hurt! If they get worse through the night I think they’ll take me to theatre if not tomorrow. I’d prefer her to bake for longer but I can’t handle this for days! My poor boy was rushed to nannies and didn’t have a clue why mummy wasn’t getting him to bed etc and apart from seeing my partner briefly to give me my bag I’ve been a lone, I sobbed when he hugged me. This pandemic is shit!

I’m so sorry. It’s such a shame you can’t have your partner there for you. It’s really not fair.
And the not eating thing would probably destroy me.
Have you had anything for the pain?
I know you would want baby in for longer but if she’s decided she wants to be born then I hope you aren’t left waiting for too long and can have baby and get home to your family.
Fingers crossed you manage a little sleep tonight xx

 

[MelC2011]

Oh wow @BabyWomble how exciting.
I’m so sorry you’re currently on your own though. At what point will they allow your oh to join you. This pandemic is shit. It’s certainly not a time to be on your own.

Wishing you all the luck in the world for a safe labour. Can’t wait for news xx

 

[mummybear2]

Hope you’re ok @BabyWomble been thinking about you today xx

 

[Jade jones]

@BabyWomble how exciting fingers crossed for a easy delivery either way it goes xx

@mummybear2 i believe you about not getting in and out of baths.... i woke up today in so much agony over did it yesterday was in ADA under review they gave me some oral morphine and monitored baby but i knew she was fine just serve PGP :'(

 

[MelC2011]

Hope everything’s ok @BabyWomble and your enjoying lots of baby cuddles xx

 

[mummybear2]

Aww I’m sorry @Jade jones how are you feeling now?

I managed to get in the bath and had about 30/40 mins before I got uncomfortable and when I got out I was still in pain... so not much use!

Sleeping last night night was brutal. I was awake until 3am and then just kept waking with pains and needing to pee.

 

[Jade jones]

@mummybear2 shame it didn't work.... im considering taking paracetamol once in the morning and and before i go to bed at night now..... another awful nights sleep making me very aggy at home keep trying to go on as normal but getting fed up. i managed to tidy down there if you get what i mean (sorry tmi) and got a ingrowing hair now which is making everything even more painful hopefully savalon and witch hazel will get rid quick. but UGH xxxx

 

[mummybear2]

@Jade jones i think the paracetamol sounds like a good idea.
I am staying up later and later now and just in agony when I wake up. My ribs, hips, back and bump just can’t deal with the side sleeping anymore.

As terrified as I am, I am so happy I’ll be having these babies next week. I can’t go on much longer... the NOISES I make when I move! If I wasn’t in so much pain it would be comical!

OMG no to the ingrown hair!! I tried to have a tidy up last week, it was ridiculous, I basically massacred it haha. I am just ignoring it now and then next week will try and even up my mess so it doesn’t look so ridiculous for delivery... I think I am passed caring though.

I hope everyone else is hanging in there!

 

[MelC2011]

How do you even try and tidy up down there?!
I’ve tried but it’s basically like going in blind.

Need to try again but I had trouble just shaving my legs this morning. I can’t even put socks on

We’re so close ladies ... I’m getting so excited now! xx

 

[Wilson14]

Lol I need to tidy up too, I’ve tried doing it with a mirror but it’s hard work. Been to midwife today another different one but the best I’ve seen yet. Going for midwife led unit, and she confirmed head is engaged xx

 

[Kiwi_53]

Trying to catch up on the last few days, I too have been tidying up haha thankfully that’s my only advantage to having a tiny bump haha makes life easy in that sense. I have my growth scan tomorrow and will know more about what’s going on. Getting super nervous now, but it’s at half 9 so at least I won’t have long to wait once I get up

we really are getting so close, can’t wait to see everybody’s updates in the next day/weeks I will let you all know how I get on as soon as possible tomorrow take care ladies xxx

 

[Jade jones]

Glad its not just me having issues thank you ladies for making me feel a little better...
I am so excited for everyone ♡
Want baby here so I can get my body back to normal xx

 

[MelC2011]

I feel the same @Jade jones
Feel like I’ve put so much weight on this time around and not liking it one bit. Think it’s my own fault as I just can’t stop eating!

Have my 34 week midwife appointment this afternoon, it’s getting so close now.

Last few baby bits are arriving today which is exciting.

Hope everyone’s ok xx

 

[mummybear2]

Hope you’ve had baby safe and sound by now @BabyWomble

@Kiwi_53 how did your scan go this morning?

How did your appointment go @MelC2011?

Took my 4 year old to Asda this afternoon to pick out some school stuff (she starts p1 in August) and omg just walking around the shop has knackered me so much.
I had one of their employees ask me if I was ok or needed any water as I was waddling and puffing to the bathroom haha. Think that might be me, not leaving the house until next Thursday now.

 

[Jade jones]

soo..... im 36 +3 and ive noticed today very very light pre period like aches down there could it be the start????? not lost the "plug" that i know of and have scan tomorrow

 

[MelC2011]

Ooh @Jade jones jones it could all be your body preparing for labour. Keep us updated how things go.

My midwife appointment went well. Still measuring 2 weeks ahead and have my consultant appointment next Mon. I’ll be induced at 40 weeks if baby not here, but half expect baby to be early and so does the midwife. Eeek!

Does anyone have sore skin around your belly button. Mine literally feels agony

Keep thinking of you @BabyWomble and hope everything’s ok.

Try and take it easy @mummybear2 I know it’s hard when you have other children to look after. Are you all sorted? xx

 

[Jade jones]

I will do fingers crossed!!
thats good hope everything goes well
not me personally just under my ribs get sore... ive littrally used a whole tube of savalon i swear by it
@BabyWomble thinking of you x

 

[Kiwi_53]

Scan went ok, there was a big variation in measurements taken by two different scanners, one got estimated weight at 6lb7oz which means no growth in two weeks, and one got 7lb10oz so growing well. They have decided to leave induction just now I have to just ring if I notice difference in movements, and have just booked me in for sweep next Tuesday so just a waiting game here xxx

 

[mummybear2]

I could well be @Jade jones! Good luck at you scan tomorrow!

I’ve been getting a lot of cramps and a lot of braxton hicks, but obviously this is my second pregnancy and there’s two in there so my body is just like ok, ok, get ready. Lol. I am really hoping and praying induction is fast and easy.

@MelC2011 yes! Belly button has no idea what is going on. Been so sore and tight. Also am absolutely covered in stretch marks now which are itchy and sore. I use bio oil but think I want to get some palmers coco butter or something.

@Kiwi_53 wow, those measurements are waaay different. I get that it’s very much an estimate but how strange to get such a big difference.
Ahh hopefully the sweep does the trick then.

My heartburn has heartburn today. It’s so awful. My own fault. I really wanted donuts haha
