Baby was approx 6 1/2lb at 36 week scan. Being induced a week today so hopefully it's as accurate as can be and he's not too big!!

Had my last antenatal appointment today, baby's head is 4/5 engaged and still back to back. Been having pains in lower back moving around and Midwife reckons I'll be lucky getting to Tuesday!!

Also, have come down with viral throat infection. All seems to have caught up with me since I finished work on Friday!!

Hope you're all ok, everything seems so real now Confused

Waitingonasmile · 12/12/2017 21:45

Wow @ziggzagg a week!!!!  That is so soon. Will be lovely to have baby here for Christmas though.

@Ruthcarr1990 Yes my c section scar is very itchy too! It's very annoying.

I know I'm being silly comparing the size when it can vary/be inaccurate. He's already bigger than DS was when he was born so that's all that matters I suppose.

I'm starting to feel like this pregnancies never going to end again. 4 weeks seems like forever. Cannot wait to get this baby out and SPD to be gone!!!!! Rolling over in bed painfree will be amazing.

Mummyme87 · 13/12/2017 06:45

waitingonasmile I know what you mean, never ending pregnancy. I was just starting to feel like I was almost done but then walking around town yesterday doing Christmas shopping I was broken very quickly and felt very ‘term’. I’m 35/40 and January still feels a long way

cheshiremama89 · 13/12/2017 09:45

Hi all, been following these threads for a while!
I'm almost 34 weeks and DS is due on 25th Jan.

I'm not sure if it's the stress of finishing work or something pregnancy related - but have had an upset stomach for well over a week, has anyone else had or is having this experience? X

Mummyme87 · 13/12/2017 11:06

Yes! I’m 35/40 and opening my bowels anywhere between 2-5 Times a day. Definitely feels upset.
Quite normal in 3rd trimester

Waitingonasmile · 13/12/2017 11:21

Another one with dodgy stomach here! Big change from earlier on in third trimester.

I wonder why the end seems to be longer than any other time. I can't even imagine getting to birth think it'll be Groundhog Day and I'll repeat these last weeks forever. We are all so close now too. 4 weeks today at the latest DS2 should be here - all being well of course.

ElleMcElle · 14/12/2017 09:50

Getting heartburn for first time in this pregnancy - not sure why it's appearing for the first time at 36 weeks!

Mummyme87 · 14/12/2017 10:54

elle heartburn is horrible. With my first it kicked in at 34weeks, this time off and on since 16weeks but this week (35/40) it’s here with a vengeance.

katmarie · 14/12/2017 11:49

I have 5 weeks til edd and it feels like a lifetime!! Mind you with Christmas and new year in between I suspect it will go by very quickly!

millsbynight · 14/12/2017 12:50

So, so far all I’ve been doing on mat leave is sleeping. I’m so tired all the time and can’t get through the day without a nap. Anyone else?

OP posts:
Waitingonasmile · 14/12/2017 13:11

I wish @millsbynight I could nap. I have a 2 year old, no childcare and a husband who works offshore. Another 3 weeks left until I can nap...

millsbynight · 14/12/2017 14:20

@Waitingonasmile big hugs to you!

Gemxo · 14/12/2017 17:58

So I rang my GP to see if my blood results had come back, the receptionist said the results came back 'satisfactory' but they want me to do another full blood count in 1 months time as something has come up on my full blood count, I asked her what this meant but she said she wasn't trained to advise so now I'm abit worried, I have a midwife app tomorrow so she should be able to see my results and shed some light on why I need to retest in a month

ElleMcElle · 14/12/2017 19:07

@Ruthcarr1990 - My own Group B Strep Test just came back positive too! Really hoping the hospital will accommodate having the antibiotics through a cannula so I don't have to stay hooked up to a drip the entire time... Does anyone have experience of giving birth with antibiotics every 4 hours?

Ruthcarr1990 · 14/12/2017 19:11

@ElleMcElle I was told that the antibiotics would only take 20 mins threw a drip. They may even take you in early or offer a c section xx

ElleMcElle · 14/12/2017 19:48

@Ruthcarr1990 - The antibiotics themselves don't take long to administer, I'm just wondering whether or not I can then be disconnected from the drip between each round of antibiotics (they have to be given every 4 hours, I think). Seeing midwife tomorrow, so will ask, as I want to be able to move around without dragging a drip behind me!!

I don't think Group B Strep alone is a reason to be induced early (unless your waters have broken) and certainly not to have a C-section - did the hospital say that?

Usernamegone · 14/12/2017 20:44

@millsbynight I finding I need an afternoon nap everyday!

Wish I could fast forward to when baby is due as i am fed up of the tiredness/heartburn/backache/fanny daggers!

Mummyme87 · 14/12/2017 22:56

elle your antibiotics will run over 20-30mins every 4 hours in established labour until birth. It’s a new bag every time so you won’t be connected to anything in between. Still allows for waterbirth, using MLU etc.
It is not an indicTion for induction or CS.

ForumUsername · 15/12/2017 00:33

We had a scan on Monday (34 weeks) and baby is estimated to be 6 pounds 6 ounces
Doctor said that this is very big and baby will probably be 8&1/2 at birth (EDD) but will probably come earlier as it'll be ready sooner

Am I very wrong to think 8&1/2 isn't all that big? I know the average is around 7&1/2 but most of the babies in our families seem to be between 8 and 10 pounds.
Our baby has been measuring long all the way through and DH is very tall
We've a more detailed growth scan next week, maybe that will be more accurate

Beginning to feel very pregnant this past week too
My lower back is aching if I'm sitting too long and I'm getting tired more easily
Feel very lucky though as I have had it easy enough so far.
Can't wait to start maternity leave on Dec 29th so I can start to really relax.

katmarie · 15/12/2017 03:02

@ForumUsername I'm predicted an 8 and a half pounder and no one has said anything to me about that being unusually large. The baby's dad and dad's sister were in the 8 pound range so not all that unexpected that ours will be a chunk. The midwife I see regularly just says it's a good weight and not to worry about it! My mum said the same too :)

Gemxo · 15/12/2017 06:00

Today is the day!!! 5pm and I'll officially be on maternity leave!! Can't wait

Mummyme87 · 15/12/2017 06:50

8-9lb is not huge, I would say relatively normal. Although 6lb 6oz now is on the larger side and I would guess a larger estimate for term. My DS was predicted 7lb 10oz at 36/40 and was 10lb 5oz at 41/40.

Also it also bollocks that bigger babies come earlier 🙄

Waitingonasmile · 15/12/2017 07:24

5 hour ferry and then 2 hour drive alone with 2 year old. Pray for me.

ForumUsername · 15/12/2017 08:28

@Waitingonasmile good luck with your journey
I've a 3 hour drive on my own tomorrow, no toddler though

Yeah I don't think 8&1/2 is all that big. Have read lots of research that says normal or average weights should be based on family history not general population

ForumUsername · 15/12/2017 08:32

Anyone else getting painful hands and wrists?

I'm waking up with sore wrists and fingers, it eases off throughout the day and they are only very mildly swollen
It's gradually getting worse, it really hurt opening doors going to the loo last night

I was told it's normal last week but as it wasn't as sore I didn't push for any suggestions on easing it.
