June 2021 - Part 5 (nearly there)

[BlondePotter]

This is the continued thread for June mums to be!

Feel free to drop your due dates in for a reminder 💛

I'm due 7th June with my first baby 💛💛💛

@TerryRose I once used it when I went in for exploratory surgery.

@TerryRose I know that my mum took a stool softener after a c-section. I think just to avoid the need to strain to go. Guess it could be useful too if you need stitches down below.

Personally I’ve been eating a ton of fruit everyday anyway in an attempt to keep my bowels moving at all 😂 I’d rather do that than take medication.

@TerryRose the midwives gave me something after my c section to help 😣

I had specks of red in my discharge this morning and have had a few occasions of leaking pink fluid so am waiting at day assessment for them to check if it's my waters or not. I'm not ready 🤣🤣

Also bought some massive Primark pants 🙌

** This didn't post earlier so the update is it was my waters and I'm booked for induction at 9am unless something happens overnight 🤞🤞 was still supposed to work my last day tomorrow 🙈 bit looks like it'll be a May baby now!

@BlondePotter oooh what a surprise! Lots of luck with the induction! 💕

@BlondePotter Good luck! How many weeks are you? x

@BlondePotter Oo how exciting!!!
I hope things happen by themselves 🤞🏼🤞🏼. Good luck, you’ll be snuggling that baby before you know it 😍.
@TerryRose I was given lactulose after I had my first (I think because they gave me a diclofenac suppository) and my god did it work. Without being too graphic I had to be very cautious about passing wind in case it was anything more 🤦🏼‍♀️.

@BlondePotter good luck, how exciting!

Best of luck @BlondePotter!! The babies are starting to come more often now! Exciting times

@BlondePotter good luck! Hope all goes well x

Good luck @BlondePotter I'm having my sweep tomorrow and induction Saturday. But tonight little lady is going crazy. I'm hoping she is just deciding that she's going to come on her own.
Has anyone had a sweep? What's it like?

@BlondePotter Best of luck! I hope you are getting on ok.

@Fishingforhappiness I'm booked in for a sweep on Wednesday, I'd be interested to hear how you go on tomorrow if you don't mind.

@BlondePotter ooo! Congratulations!! Xxxx

@Fishingforhappiness I had a sweep last time I was pregnant and would have one again this time. It was absolutely fine for me. I think it does vary from person to person but didn't bother me at all, and I went into labour less than 24 hours later! Good luck

@airrr I'm 38+4. Had contractions throughout the night but they slowed down from every 5/6 mins to every 8-10mins from 11pm so I got a couple hours sleep and then have been resting.
Guess I'll go back in for my 9am induction as they wanted to give me antibiotics
Thanks for all the luck ladies, catch up soon

@BlondePotter oooo exciting!!!! :) xxx

Good luck @BlondePotter ... one step closer to newborn cuddles! Have a good breakfast and take all the snacks is my best advise from our recent admissions

Good luck @BlondePotter. I hope baby doesn’t keep you waiting too long 😍

@BlondePotter I said congratulations I meant good luck! Silly me! That's what I get for messaging in the middle of the night when I can't sleep xxxxx

I had some sort of ‘leak’ last night, it was enough to soak through my liner and pants but it seems to have been a one off... not sure whether to phone triage today just in case it was my waters, but if it was then it would still be leaking wouldn’t it? It didn’t smell like wee but maybe it was!

@swiftt I'd give them a call. It might have stopped because of baby's position or it might have been hind waters? Best to get them to confirm either way I think.

Had my last midwife appt before due date and she refused a sweep saying they don't work. She's a grumpy cow anyway- I really don't like her.
So that's me just waiting it out until the 7th. Growth scan on the 7th, next midwife appt is at 40+3 weeks.....I don't want to get to that point. 😂

@Lovethatjourneyforme okay, I’ll call this morning and see what they say. I’ll just be a bit embarrassed I think if it turns out I’ve weed myself a bit! I’m only 38+1.

@BlondePotter how exciting!! Good luck!!

@swiftt don’t worry about it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 They’ll see all sorts and better to know if waters are going / have gone so they can take precautions x
