Happy 37 weeks Nikki

Am I the only one that isn't in a hurry yet?! I'm not 36 weeks yet I suppose. I just want him to come out when he's done with life on the inside. If he's happy in there for now, then I'm happy. Ask me again at 42 weeks!

I get a weird, tight lump appear at the very top of my bump. wonder if it's feet.

 

[Emily0505]

My anxiety is a big part of why I want her here. Having miscarried the three before her, I just want s baby in my arms safe and sound. Plus you know heartburn, haemarroids, varicose veined vajajay etc! Lol!

I was fine until the aches and swelling kicked in and lead to very little sleep. Even walking down the road to get lunch now is a killer on my hips.

Dove, that could be the bum. My little one is a bum wiggler and pushes it out at the top. It's quite hard. The smaller hard bit I think is a knee.

 

[Emily0505]

I get a big hard lump which is her bottom and then littler hard pointy bits which I'm assuming are her feet.

I am so uncomfortable today. I feel physically bleugh and emotionally bleugh! Feel like I need a cuddle and a good cry!! I've currently got ligament pain and pains right at the bottom of my bump!

Hubby keeps going on about my snoring and being disturbed at night. Not in a nasty way just like joking about how he can hear me snoring upstairs when I'm downstairs! Last night I was just like, well I'm not sorry, I can't help it at all so just suck it up!

As soon as I hit 37 weeks then I was happy for her to arrive, she is fully cooked as they say, I am eager to hear what they say at my appointment on Thursday, I hope they say I can be induced at 40 weeks or even better, she comes before then xx

 

[nikkix86]

i swear if i dont get good news at my appointment tomorrow im going to go mad lol. my son was born at 37 weeks and although he stopped growing and was only 5lb 1 he was perfectly healthy and didnt have to stay in. this little one has always measured above the 50th centile so should be a much better weight

 

[kabuk1]

I'm getting a lot of pain in my hips and below my bump. Walking is becoming mor unpleasant by the day. It's not nice. I need to remember to bring lunch with me because there is no way I can continue to go out and get lunch at work. Too slow and painful.

I wish this little one was above the 50th percentile, but nope, he's been above the 85th percentile throughout the pregnancy. And now most things are above the 90th or 95th percentile. I'll be shocked if he is under 8lbs when he arrives. I bet he's at least 22 inches long.

i feel so sorry for you all and i can tell you im not looking forward to feeling the way you are all feeling.

midwife went fine although some what rushed in and out, she has told me i need to try and get his head back out of my pelvis for him to move his foot from under my rib, she couldnt measure him properly as his foot is jammed right up under my rib. i have my growth scan on wednesday anyway so i will see how he is doing.

he is also facing towards my spine which is why im not feeling his movements as much today.

it wont be long before all your pain have gone and each one of you is cuddling and holding their bundles of joys xxx

 

[Dovekie]

Did you get any statistics about the donor kabuk? I'm not sure how that works.

Ah yes, I see how it must be worrying Emily. I must admit that Lou's story frightened me a bit. I can't imagine what you've all been through to get here.

 

[Leighwiltshire]

i just read that as donnar kebab! i think i need one haha.

Lous story terrifies me especially knowing the condition of my placenta already.

your stories all amaze me and the strength you all have and the positivity keeps me going

 

[kabuk1]

Thanks Leigh for that laugh. Needed that.

Dove, we know his adult physical traits and have notes on him from someone at the clinic, including what famous person he looks like. However, there are no baby pics or further details as the more details the more expensive. We really loved what the clinic staff had to say about him. We missed out on our first choice who had a full detailed profile, including lineage information, but when we went back to buy he was gone. As an adult, he isn't small- not too tall, but solid and military. They said he looks like John Francis Daley, so I'm hoping that also means the dimples. I'm short and small but very solid as well. I was under 8lbs but I still had a big head when I was born. I looked like a boy and didn't have hair until I was 2 years old.

 

[Emily0505]

I was only 3lb5oz when I was born as I was a preemie as my mum had pre-eclampsia. I'm not sure how much hubby weighed when he was born. Cam was 7lb4oz. I'm hoping this little lady is between 6lb and 7lb.

Cam asked if he could have 2 friends in to play. There's currently 7!!!!!

[lisey]

I was 8.15, so was my sister. My son was 9lb 1 and OH was between 3 and 4lbs. His Mum was 12lbs . I think this one will be 8-9lbs xx

 

[kabuk1]

11 of my 12 nieces and nephews were between 8.5-9.5 lbs and between 20-22.5 inches. Only one nephew was under 8lbs and he was just under and a planned c-section at 38+4. I'm 1 of 6 and was the smallest, most were about 8.5 lbs and my brother was over 9lbs.

 

[nikkix86]

my eldest was 5lb 1 but he stopped growing, my youngest was 7.7 he was born at 39+4 so thinking this one will be around 7lb. was just doing the washing up and felt like something was clawing its way out i couldnt move!

 

[Eryinera]

Yea I'm having major tightening's around ky bump and i feel like she's really pushing her had down. I really think she's going to be much bigger than my son. I think the aspirin has helped my placenta grow this baby huge!

 

[Eryinera]

I was 6lb 1 at 42 weeks
hubby 6lb 8 at 42 weeks and
son 7lb 2. At 41+5

I really think this one is closer to 9lb though. I don't kow why I just feel huge and feel like she's taking up the whole space lol

 

[snowbee]

I don't know how heavy my oh was, in his baby photos he looks small and wrinkly haha. I was just over 8. No idea what this one will get to, I'm hoping just normal size with a nice small head!

 

[Eryinera]

Lol here here for small heads lol

Anyone else missing being able to lie down and breathe at the same time lol

 

[Dovekie]

It's good that you have some details though kabuk, and the main ones! I was the same, I had no hair until 2. Then it was down to my waist for years. I think autocorrect tried to doner kebab! Hehe.

Ery, I can't lie on my back at all really. Even reclining slightly is difficult. I get out of breath.
