Thanks zombie (Ducky?!)

Cupcake92 · 20/10/2015 17:01

It's gone ridiculously fast Iam! Can't believe 9 months are up, it's a great feeling tho :)
knowing he's going to be here so soon!

I don't know whether I'm hoping they induce me tomorrow or not! I mean it'd be nice as its sooner but I rele want to be able to tell DS what's happening when I take him to nursery, so preferably Thursday would be good Grin
I'm feeling nervous now. I'm worried about the scan as well because I can not lie down anymore Confused it's far too painful, I'm going to ask if it's possible to let me sit up a bit and scan like that or I'll be crying through the whole scan.

zombiemeow · 20/10/2015 18:11

Should be ok cupcake, later in my pg my scanner person let me pretty much sit up.
So exciting!

Congratulations Iam that's lovely news. You must be so pleased.

Ducky, they avoid him really. They have swiped his hand if he grabs them but nothing else. They prefer him asleep or in another room or out of the house Grin They just ignore him.

Very sad about your friend. How old was she?

Cupcake, I think they will induce you tomorrow or Thursday.

Bearsinmotion · 20/10/2015 19:59

Aww, Iam, so pleased for you Smile

And fingers crossed for tomorrow cupcake!

DP is out tonight, I am at home with 2 sleeping DC, very weird!

zombiemeow · 20/10/2015 20:07

That's good though, one of dms cats swiped at ds if he is anywhere near. My friend was 30 lulu Sad apparently she suffered severe head injuries from the crash but paramedics managed to do cpr, she was then taken to the hospital where she had a big heart attack. Her poor dd Sad

I feel like it's me waiting for that appointment cupcake Blush what time is it? Will be constantly checking for updates I will be driving a lot tomorrow so will have to resist the urge to pull over to check

Iam, did you have any appts with gp due to how long you were ttc? How are you feeling? Any sickness etc?

Cupcake92 · 20/10/2015 21:02

Lulu I'm hoping its sooner, Thursday would be perfect :) I can't wait I rele can't!

Thank u Bears! And lucky u! Put ur feet up and have a relaxing night! :)

Oh Ducky how sad about ur friend :(
The appt is at 9:30am! So in the morning :) thank god!! They nearly booked my scan at 11:40pm! But I said oooo nooo far too late and they managed to get me a 9:30 appt Grin
Don't worry I'll update as much as I can on what will be happening.

DS is still awake he's coughing a lot so it's stopping him from falling asleep. Bless him.
I'm going to watch Karl Pilkington now Grin

LuluJakey1 · 21/10/2015 00:21

Good luck tomorrow Cupcake. Will check in when I can to see what the news is.

LuluJakey1 · 21/10/2015 07:04

DH has gone to work, DS is asleep still and the cats and I are cuddled up.

C'mon Baby Cupcake- do your mum a favour today! Good luck Smile

zombiemeow · 21/10/2015 07:57

Ohh good luck cupcake!

I absolutely love Karl pilkington, he's hilarious. I love Ricky gervais too Smile never fail to make me laugh.

Hope ds is feeling better soon all ready to meet his little brother Grin

Cupcake92 · 21/10/2015 08:50

Thanks Lulu :) just dropped DS off at nursery and got all my bags and baby's car seat in the car :D just incase lol.

Thanks Ducky! I know Ricky gervais is hilarious too Grin I love them all.
And DS had a mega runny nose this morning but he seemed okay and was very happy to go into nursery :)

Scans at 9:30 so just about to head off. I'll let u all know how much he weighs once I've had the scan. It'll give me a guess at what the consultant might do!

iamdivergent · 21/10/2015 09:15

Ooh good luck cupcake exciting times ahead Smile

ducky I went to drs about 6wks ago and she tested my bloods which came back fine for all the hormones but I must have caught a week or two after that! Remembered my sample so will hand it in today and took my folic acid. Feeling pretty normal though by boobs are tingling. Slept terribly last night, I honestly think I got about 4 hrs sleep! I was at the loo about 6 times as well Grin it's reassuring though as who knows how long it will be before I get to see a midwife!

zombiemeow · 21/10/2015 09:39

GrinGrinGrin cupcakkkeewe

Iam it's always the way, they start looking into it then you get pregnant. Let's hope they get you to a midwife quickly. Will you have an early scan?

OP posts:
Cupcake92 · 21/10/2015 10:10

Bad news :( he's gone transverse after being 4/5ths engaged 2 weeks ago :(
So looks like inductions out the picture :(

Cupcake92 · 21/10/2015 10:52

I'm being admitted to hospital now :(
That said my waters are at risk of breaking and because of his position now if my waters break its life threatening to baby as my placenta would come out as my water broke. So I'm waiting to go on the ward now.
I have till Friday to see if baby turns, if he does I'll have indication as planned, if he's not I'll be sent down for a csection.
I burst into tears In front of the Doctor.
Just worry about DS as well, I won't be with him for days now :(

zombiemeow · 21/10/2015 11:25

Oh no cupcakeSad not the news you were hoping for at all. How is his growth now?

Fingers very tightly crossed he turns for you. At least you are in the safest place now.

Will ds be staying with your dm?

OP posts:
Cupcake92 · 21/10/2015 12:03

Ducky it's the worst news possible :( and for my DS I am gonna miss him and worry about him.
His growth is fine he weighs 7.1lbs now :) so he's perfect!!

Will walking lots help him turn do u think?? I know they say to sit upright etc.

Well weirdly we've decided that DS and his dad will go to my house tonight and I've said to exH him and DS can stay there as DS will be more comfortable being there. I'll feel a lot more calm knowing DS is in his own environment.
My DM is picking him up from nursery in half hour and coming to hospital with him and we'll stay here for the day. He'll go back with exH this evening. ExH is taking him to nursery in the morning and then my mom will pick him up and he'll stay at my moms tomorrow and Friday night.

Gonna call nursery see if they can fit DS in for one more morning on Friday just to help out.

zombiemeow · 21/10/2015 12:05

I think birthing balls help with turning don't they? But I wouldn't know whether it would be safe because of how far along you are, did they do any internal?

Ds will be more comfortable at home Smile

OP posts:
Bearsinmotion · 21/10/2015 14:24

Oh cupcake, sorry to hear that, I was so hoping it would be an easy process for you Sad

It will all be over soon x

Cupcake92 · 21/10/2015 16:30

Nope not allowed the birthing ball ducky I asked for that Grin and they won't do any internal incase it might bring labour on. They said the risk is bad if I was to go into labour with him in this position.
I know for a fact he won't turn and I'll have a csection. Tbh I don't care anymore I just want him here safely.

Thanks Bears, I was hoping it would be smooth too! Was soooooooooo looking forward to that gas and air!

iamdivergent · 21/10/2015 17:15

Ah cupcake that socks! Fx he turns but if not you'll have him in your arms this time Friday?

ducky probably not, I'd love one but with it being so close to Xmas and two dds to buy for I think I'll just wait till the official one, should be around 15 December Smile

LuluJakey1 · 21/10/2015 19:50

Sorry Cupcake Flowers but he is on his way now one way or another and it will be fine! You will be in the best place and DS will be with his dad and grandma.

FX he turns.

Cupcake92 · 21/10/2015 20:59

I'm just so so bored!! There's nothing to do in hospitals :(
