[comeagainforbigfudge]

Shiny new thread for us all

speed congrats on the birth of Alexander and the house move!!

Chookford... Thought u might of had ur baby by now
Have u left fb? .... Unless some of the mn only girls have had their babies then we are now upto 17 babies x

Still waiting jazzy think this one is going to be the same as its sister and the sweep will get things moving which I have booked in for Saturday! Yes I'm off fb now.... Wow so many babies already here, I'm jealous haha

Congratulations speed! How exciting the babies are starting to arrive!
I only 36+4, so still a while to wait for me....

Aw congratulations speed!

I'm off to midwifes later. See what chat she has for me this time.

zahaziland I'm 37+4. But feel like I've still got years to go......

Plus I'm running out of my nice bubble bath. I think that's upsetting me more as I can't face the trip into town to get more!

Chook - fingers crossed for Saturday then.

Comeagain - I keep running out of things too and just cannot bear going out on my lunch break to go and replenish them. even click and collect is too much effort.

Thanks trying am praying it works as I've really had enough now!!

Had mw today... 39+2... Tried to give me a sweep but cervix to high but hoping abit of prodding about will get things moving.
For those on fb, please check in on todays posts.

mw thinks baby still breech.

There's still time though.
She did think I was remarkably calm about my overall options. But well as long as both baby and I are kept safe I don't care how baby born. Although I did mention my fear of ecv proceeding to emcs, but its more that I'm a thinker and like to run scenarios in my head to prepare myself. Daft I know.

Oh well, at least in 5 days time I get to check baby out via U/S again. Silver linings n all that

Chook, hope baby decides to appear soon
Jazz, fingers crossed for you.

On a side note, anyone no how Tori is doing? Not seen her on the board for a while. Hoping all ok and baby arrived

Oops text speak snuck in know not no

Comeagain... Still time for baby to turn, theres quiet afew breech babies still across the group.
I've asked tori to bob on and give u an update.
I thought you were on the fb group, must be mistaken.
I hope this baby gets a shift on aswell... Cannot face the fact i now have term +3 and +10 appointments in my diary

Thanks jazz.

No not on fb. Prefer a wee bit of anonymity for all my ramblings plus fb droves me nuts just now.

Thanks come that's why I came off of fb too... Drove me mad!

Hope we have some more baby news soon!

Massive congrats tori glad to hear Ollie is getting into a better sleep pattern!

Ooh you had baby! How'd I miss that?! How wonderful! Congratulations welcome Ollie, hope you liking the world in all its glory

Although boo hiss to the leg swelling. Just what you needed hmpf!

Excuse to eat more I feel

Argh... Fallen off tio!!

Congratulations to all those who have babies already!

I'm 38+0 today and had one of my final BP clinic appointments this morning, BP was high and had a trace of protein in my urine as well. I've been started on Labetalol 3x a day. There is also more amniotic fluid than they would like so they are also concerned about GD too. I have to do another 24hr urine collection and go back tomorrow to have BP re-checked.
Thankfully my BP did come down after the first dose of medication, but I do have to go back tomorrow to make sure that I will be safe at home. The hope now is that I go into labour in the next 2 weeks, otherwise I will be induced.

The silly thing is that I feel I have let both DH and baby down already, as everything seemed to be going well and now the wheels seem to have fallen off. I'm worried that I will be admitted for monitoring tomorrow, which I know sitting at home and worrying isn't going to help my BP. My matron found me upset in the corridor and took me back to his office for tea and scones, and talked through the plans with me, so while I do feel better than I did, I still feel that I am failing baby by not doing well enough.

Aw excited you most definitely have not let anybody down! Don't you dare think like that.

For one, you've carried your baby for 38w so far. (Bet your DH would crack after 2 mins)

Secondly, 38w and you only now needing further input with regards to BP? I think that's bloody marvellous. Job well done! Plus you got tea n scones out of a matron, that's some a achievement in itself

I bet you're like me and so over the whole pregnancy lark that anyone says somat the wrong way and you don't know how to handle it.

I was watching some West Wing earlier and was nearly greetin at a scene. No real reason to as it wasn't dramatic, but there you go! Tissues at the ready.

Besides, I bet baby is just peachy in there, all comfy swimming around. It's your poor body that's been going through hell!

Now, go demand lots of sympathy from you DH cos you have to take tablets.

just for you

Excited - don't for a second think that. Hate to state the obvious but you are growing a human inside your body. Nothing more amazing and it still blows my mind when I stop and think.

Have a nice sit down, I'd say have cake but you got scones instead (jealous!) and try not to worry (although I appreciate that may be nigh on impossible). x

Excited - with all due respect you're being ridiculous

excited as others have said this is nothing you can control your baby is in charge and you just need to go with the flow I'm afraid... They will dictate what's happens right up until birth!

Hope everyone is doing ok? Anymore baby news?

tori I'm glad to hear the sleepyhead is working!

I am insanely fed up with being pregnant now.

Have had to buy some maxi dresses from h+m because I cannot abide the thought of wearing trousers anymore. They still fit me, it's just the immense effort of getting them on and off again. And down and back up when going to the loo. NO.
