First Time Pregnancy (5)

[mrsjkerry]

Hey everyone. Had to make a new thread as we were nearing 1000!

Any update @MistyBxx, I've been thinking about you.....

Morning girlies. I'm feeling ok this morning. I went to bed last night and she was wiggling. And she's had hiccups this morning so I don't feel as panicky. I may ring them later just to speak to someone anyway. I don't know why I'm suddenly feeling so stressy about it, I've never noticed loads and loads of movement but last couple of days I've noticed less you know?! I know this sounds like I'm clutching at straws but i ran out of my pregnacare tablets on Monday and only bought some more yesterday so I went from Tuesday to Friday with no vitamins. I wonder if that has anything to do with it? Coz I know she gets her sustenance from nutrients rather than actual bits of food food floating down the cord. And I don't have a massively healthy diet rich in vits and good stuff, which is why I take the supplements to give her what she won't get from my food. So without the tablets I wonder if she didn't get as much nutrients and then didn't have the energy to move much? Don't get me wrong, that makes me feel like shit and I will never miss a day tablets again just in case, but it's just a thought.x

Glad to hear you are feeling better about things today @MistyBxx - l think this is the start of the lifetime of worry everyone warns us about!!

Anyone else feeling like they’re back in the two week wait waiting for their babies to drop? I’m 38+2 today 😩

@mrsjkerry I said this to DP today! Keep checking for plug and every twinge has me like ooh is this is! 38 weeks today!

Yes @ew1990 every tiny little thing I think...is this a symptom of labour. Is anything happening?? Argh I can’t deal with this for potentially four more weeks!

@mistybxx don't beat yourself up. So long as you're out of the first trimester missing a couple of days wont do any harm. You baby probably hasn't got into a pattern yet and that's fine.

@mrsjkerry yes feel like that all the time! 39+5 today!

@MistyBxx hugs to you don’t beat yourself up xx

@ew1990 me too been checking for weeks and nothing!

😄

32 weeks today and first day in weeks that I've just felt like staying in bed all day!

Baby due on Wednesday and I have so many pains, I think it's just because she has dropped. On and off cramps and back ache that comes and goes. I went food shopping on Friday and when I got back on the car i couldn't sit on my bum! The pressure was unreal.
Downloaded a contraction counter just in case. Got a horrible feeling she will be late, dreading the thought of a sweep.

Hey @Squigglefish I literally feel your pain! I have sweep booked for weds (my due date too) as it’s standard in my area. I don’t love the idea but would rather have that than chemical induction

@Squigglefish I think she's dropped, I feel something moving right in my groin? Scan tomorrow anyway so will know more then,

Thought I was going for dinner with dp today only to walk into a surprise baby shower, was lovely!

@lydiangel83 ooh Imhis exciting. Hopefully things will start before then for you! My sweep is booked for Thursday 40+1 so I'll be glad to hear your experience, thats if you get to update us before baby comes!
I too would like to avoid chemical induction.
@ew1990 I feel the same and do you get strong pushing on your bladder and bum? I am sure this baby loves a good stretch out.
What a lovely thing to surprise for you with 😊

Oh, is anyone sleeping on a towel or puppy training pad in case of unexpected waters breaking at night?

*how exciting

@Squigglefish I do, especially when I sit on the toilet I get lots in my bum, don't know wether is coz I'm sat in that certain position or it's piles 😂 I haven't even thought of waters breaking in the night might have to lay a towel down

@squigglefish i'd put money on you going into labour soon with those signs. Have you got a ball to bounce on? Going for a brisk walk will help things too. Good luck

@GingerHanna huge congratulations he is gorgeous and I also love the name Joseph. It’s a family name on my side too. I’m glad to hear he arrived safely and you’re doing ok I hope?

@Squigglefish will update you if I can for sure :)

Reduced movements so now I’m awake wondering when to call labour ward and go and get monitored. Shall I wait until morning? After a few pains on Saturday night that I thought could be labour signs I have had nothing on Sunday / Sunday night and now reduced movement so a bit worried

Hi everyone!

Baby third arrived safe and well on the weekend.

I had to be induced due to some of my complications at 38weeks.

I was already 2cm dilated when they began, but they had to abandon it after a few hours as I bled. This seemed to kick start labour naturally and baby was born a short time later .

I would call the labour ward just to check things out.

Hoping everything is alright with you and baby.

@THirdEeye congratulations! This is all so exciting.

@Bobbiepin yeah I have a ball ready to bounce on.
Had the dog to the vet this morning after a stressful weekend. Surprised that didn't bring on labour. Brisk walk planned with her later on. Baby can come now I know our dog is ok!

@lydiangel83 are you ok?.did you go.to get checked out?

Congratulations @THirdEeye! How exciting. Did you have any idea you’d dilated at all?

@thirdeye congrats!!

@lydiangel did you get checked out? Hope you're both ok.
