@millsbynight He was on Neo for a week. First he was in NICU and then stepped down to the HDU. I actually ended up being in hospital for the same amount of time as I ended up having an infection.

Hotpinkangel19 · 29/12/2017 15:59

@Mummyme87 You are a midwife if I remember correctly?? Would you not recommend a sweep?

Waitingonasmile · 29/12/2017 16:21

Congratulations @Isabeau1980 ! Glad you are both doing better now Thanks

Mummyme87 · 29/12/2017 18:02

hotpinkangel yes I’m a midwife and no wouldn’t recommend sweeps. We have a consultant who specialises in neonatal sepsis and stillbirth and has found a high correlation between that and sweeps. Their success rate is around 30% in women with a favourable cervix, so pretty poor odds. Can often see fresh bleeding with sweeps which causes other issues, also quite often see women having an irritable uterus after a sweep, so painful tightenings and contractions for long periods that don’t seem to go anywhere or long latent phases. Obviously there is a lot of sweeps with no complications but intend to find once you discuss that with women most decide against them. Personal decision, for me a no go this time round

rememberpurpleronnie · 29/12/2017 20:42

So I've arrived at hospital for my induction, which has been booked for 6 weeks, and they weren't expecting me Confused so I'm waiting to find out if they can fit me in or not!

Hotpinkangel19 · 29/12/2017 20:52

@Mummyme87 Thank you for that, I'm currently 38+6 with baby no 4, and my Midwife and Consultant have said they offer a sweep on the due date - for me this will be done a week today, but I really don't want one, it's just sort of expected I'll have it! I had one with my first baby, but at 7 days overdue, I don't see the need for one if I'm at my due date? My DS2 came at 38+4 and DS3 came at 40+2. All my labours happened naturally so I'd rather wait and see for this baby too.

Ruthcarr1990 · 29/12/2017 21:00

Any advice lady’s, is it me or do my legs and ankles look swollen? Been having head aches on and off all day, do I ring and go in now or wait till the morning, dh is in work all night and dd is in bed, don’t no what to do xxx

January babies #6 - waddling in to the 3rd trimester!
PurplePoppySeed · 29/12/2017 21:27

Sorry I've been off for a while too, congratulations all on the new arrivals, it's getting exciting now [and I'm really jealous ] hope you're all settling into the new life and larger families xx

@Flippertyjibbetty - I saw your note about not wanting internal examination, your midwife is talking total bollocks, an internal is not the only way to assess progress and there is now quite a lot of research/information out there citing it as potentially spreading mis-information, as each midwife assesses based on their own hand size and the concept of 10cm is rubbish as every individual women will be a different size at birth with 10 just being a rough average. I had DD in 2013 at home and never once had an internal examination before or during. Only afterwards to check for damage! You are right there are other ways - this is an interesting read https://birthhypnosis.net/purple-line/. Most importantly, they can't make you have one at all!!

Waitingonasmile · 29/12/2017 21:58

It's hard to tell @Ruthcarr1990 without knowing what they looked like before. If you are worried I would definitely phone for advice. Take another picture in a few hours and see if it's got worse! Is there any swelling on your face or hands or arms?

ziggzagg · 30/12/2017 03:27

Congrats @Maybebaby2 what a lovely name for your little princess xxx

Mummyme87 · 30/12/2017 04:09

ruthcarr oedema of hands, feet and ankles are not actual PET symptoms, it’s more in the face, sudden onset, pitting oedema... I would suggest paracetamol for the headache and lots of water and see how you go 👍 my swelling is so bad in my feet and ankles now, but worried about what I will wear on my feet if they get any worse!

Dreadful reflux and heartburn tonight, ran out of gaviscon, no ranitidine with me either. Resorted to milk (🤢). Have had the squits since bed time and feeling sick, just had mucus discharge like ewcm... my body can calm down and hold off to get new year done!!

katmarie · 30/12/2017 10:51

Omg @rememberpurpleronnie what happened? I hope they were able to sort you out ok?

cheshiremama89 · 30/12/2017 11:05

It seems this final leg of the journey is quite similar.
My feet and legs are terribly swollen and sickness kicks in like clockwork around 10pm.
Diarrhoea is sporadic as is constipation Blush

I don't think I can last another 4 weeks x

Waitingonasmile · 30/12/2017 11:23

Omg @rememberpurpleronnie I don't know how I didn't see your comment yesterday! I really hope they managed to fit you in. Thanks

Another one here with the never ending toilet trips. I had 10 bowel movements yesterday and they weren't even small. Surely that's a world record!??

Fine today apart from horrible pain and discomfort under my ribs. No idea how the hell baby has suddenly moved but it's bloody sore. Nausea here as always! Can't wait to enjoy eating again. 9 days to go!

stripeysocks3 · 30/12/2017 13:42

Same here with bowels and it's vile Envy had contractions (at least I think they were contractions) every 10 mins for 2 hours last night and still nothing happened!

Hotpinkangel19 · 30/12/2017 14:49

Me, I'm always going to the toilet.... really odd, maybe there's not enough room to hold it in there now!

Maybebaby2 · 30/12/2017 17:36

Thanks everyone. Here is the little sleepyhead herself 😍

Congratulations @Isabeau1980 so glad to here Cian is doing well and putting on weight. Are you both home now?

Hope everyone else is doing well during these last tough few weeks. We're all nearly there now!

January babies #6 - waddling in to the 3rd trimester!
stripeysocks3 · 30/12/2017 18:24

I feel so stupid but having pains every 10 mins that only last 15/20 seconds and partner is insistent we phone hospital but what if these are just BH? I know people say you will know when it's time but I'm so unsure! I don't want to go in and just be told I have a pathetic pain threshold...

Anyone ever had similar or could give me the beat description of what I should be expecting Grin

hanna87 · 30/12/2017 18:55

Think my Mucus plug has just come away!!!! Eeeek Shock
Wouldn't have noticed but saw (TMI!!) a large snotty looking thing at the bottom of the toilet when i went to flush after a wee!

Waitingonasmile · 30/12/2017 20:00

She's so beautiful @Maybebaby2 !!

I have no idea @stripeysocks3 but good luck and keep us updated if you can!!

Exciting @hanna87 hopefully this is a sign of things getting started.

rememberpurpleronnie · 30/12/2017 21:41

I had a little girl today! She is beautiful with lots of dark hair! She arrived dramatically after a very short induction where I went from 2-10cm dilated in ten minutes. The midwives didn't believe me when I said I was ready to push! She was nearly born in a lift, but I can recommend this approach for ease of recovery!!! I feel great tonight Smile

StylishDuck · 30/12/2017 21:45

Congratulations @rememberpurpleronnie !

That sounds like the ideal birth (except maybe the lift bit! Shock) Particularly for an induction too.

Gemxo · 30/12/2017 22:05

I would wait to see if they get more intense and closer together @stripeysocks3 before ringing/going in

ziggzagg · 30/12/2017 22:55

Awww @Maybebaby2 she is stunning!! Here's Zak 10 days xxx Congrats @rememberpurpleronnie sounds like a good birth!!

Maybebaby2 · 30/12/2017 23:15

Wow congratulations @rememberpurpleronnie! Welcome to the world little lady! Was your induction with the pessery or drip?

Ahh look at him @ziggzagg he's gorgeous! Love his little snowman sleepsuit too 😀 xx
