@Piccalily19 congratulations! Glad baby’s dad got there to see him arriving. So many stories on here like yours about MWs not believing women when they say they’re in labour! It’s crazy.

@Theonewheretherewas4 a lot of us on here have measured under and been sent for growth scans. I measured 30weeks and 38. I’ve had 3 growth scans now. All fine. Like @Safxxx said the tape measure seems it shouldn’t be trusted! Some hospitals don’t even do them. Still tis always nice to have a scan ☺️

@cat709 I’ve been treating myself to a warmer bath now as I do like a good soak and find it’s sooo good for my aches and pains.

So chuffed I actually got some colostrum out today! Second day I’ve tried, didn’t get anything yesterday tho don’t have a huge amount of patience for it. My eyes welled up when those tiny beads appeared! I did it in the bath, I think being warm and relaxed helped. Set some cramps off too 🤞 might get things going. Been quite crampy all day. X x x

Theonewheretherewas4 · 05/02/2021 14:26

Yes Iv always had big differences in scan and tape measurements so I’m not too panicked yet but both are plotting baby at the lower end of the scale and there has been no growth with the tape at all, hopefully the scan will show she’s still growing in line with her curve but I wouldn’t be saying no to getting a plan in place to be induced.

cat709 · 05/02/2021 14:26

@Whichnamepls
Ah thank you, yes that makes sense. I'm reading on all the websites about a hot bath just to relax. Nothing else like it 😊 @Muriel84 exactly! I've missed it.... bath is tonight's plan! X

Safxxx · 05/02/2021 14:57

@Muriel84 thats nice you got some colostrum out, well done, mine are sore scared to do anything.
Also breast feeding failed me 3 times before, so feel like i won't succeed this time either, that itself puts me off trying anything.
Lets hope your cramps lead to labour 🤞

wannabe123 · 05/02/2021 14:59

Congratulations @pampero and @Piccalily19

I've had a date come through for my elective section for 2 weeks time! So exciting that I've now got an end date but I also have a feeling that the days may drag until then!

Char41zam · 05/02/2021 15:06

Congrats @pampero and @Piccalily19! Lots of babies being born a couple of weeks early 😊 Leila will be a week old tomorrow! It’s crazy how quick it’s going x

babydust2412 · 05/02/2021 15:12

@Piccalily19 congratulations 🥰

babydust2412 · 05/02/2021 15:12

Saw midwife today, been booked for a sweep on Wednesday at 41 weeks ❤️ let's hope I don't have to end up going for it 😩🤞🏼

Muriel84 · 05/02/2021 15:53

@Theonewheretherewas4 cos my bump measured 30weeks it meant that it looked like my baby had shrunk significantly compared to growth scan and measurement two weeks before. I was sent straight round for a scan and assessment in maternity triage. I was sat assuming I was going to be induced but all was fine. The baby is on the smaller side on my growth chart but growth has been consistent. Bump measures small for some reason.

@Safxxx mine are sore now I’ve been messing around with them! But not too sore in general. Nothing compared to the first trimester.

X x x

Theonewheretherewas4 · 05/02/2021 15:54

@Safxxx I couldn’t bf my first 2 tried with no3 and he fed for 14 months, Iv got formula ready and il give bf a go once she arrives Iv never been able to get much of anything trying to express in anyway at any time.

Safxxx · 05/02/2021 15:57

@wannabe123 thats great hope all goes to plan.

@babydust2412 good luck hope you don't need it.

@Char41zam Awe already a week old tmro bless her 😍

Safxxx · 05/02/2021 16:00

@Theonewheretherewas4 well that gives me some hope...lets hope we both get to BF 🤞

Congratulations to you too @Piccalily19 I was certainly wrong about it having been quiet haha glad you managed to avoid induction too

babbit87 · 05/02/2021 17:00

Wow that was a lot to read through!!

Congratulations @pampero and @Piccalily19 - beautiful names and weights. Cant get over the fact they didn't believe you!

Hopefully won't be much longer for all of us still waiting xx

Safxxx · 05/02/2021 17:04

@TeaPiglet thanks for a update on the list....you spoke too soon this morning about everything going quiet lol

TeaPiglet · 05/02/2021 18:26

@Safxxx absolutely ate my words there 😂 don't think I've ever been happier to be more wrong though haha

Newmumfeb2021 · 05/02/2021 18:31

Congratulations @Piccalily19 enjoy with your newborn! 🥰

@cat709 I love a really hot bath and have been having them throughout (third time mum i genuinely forgot your not meant to in first trimester) really helps my back ache and gives me head space to relax. Nothing like some bubbles! 😊

babbit87 · 05/02/2021 18:59

Although sadly a hot bath does nothing to bring on contractions for me at least! I know I'm not due til 16th but I'm getting impatient 😄

cat709 · 05/02/2021 19:09

@babbit87 16th - same as me Smile
Soooo impatient!!

Lnbarne · 05/02/2021 19:41

@babbit87 Definitely impatient here!!! Only a week at most before induction and she’s not budging on her own it doesn’t seem :-/

TeaPiglet · 05/02/2021 20:14

Don't think mines going anywhere, I'm craving something cold and sour.. Just sent DH out on the hunt lol

babbit87 · 05/02/2021 20:32

@Lnbarne oh I envy you knowing it will only be a week! My 39 week mw appt is Tuesday, if I make it til then it will be the most pregnant I've ever been 😭 im showing zero signs so def thinking I will go overdue

babydust2412 · 05/02/2021 20:34

I'm having a small amount of blood when I wipe at the minute, anyone know what that could be? xx
