Feeling sick today, not sure if its the drink from thay gd test or what, my bump feels so uncomfortable too and has dropped anyone els bump dropped? Xxx

I felt really sick after that drink all day! My bump has dropped but god it’s so uncomfortable today. He kept kicking his foot out today right in my ribs! Also getting so much pressure down below xx

@Sunshinemoom @Jadeypie im really not sure u fancy this manual turning at all i just dont like the risk of damage to the placenta or cord. There is a chance baby could turn themself.Monday is decision day 😬😬😬

@Gizmo1983yes I totally get that. I would be hesitant to do the manual turning as well. My first born was breached until like 37/38 weeks and suddenly he turned by himself. But I should’ve known then I was gonna have an awkward labour because he had been in that position the whole time 🤣 oh really not long to decide then. Xx

Yeh I dont like the sound of them, I couldnt have one anyway with my septate womb but they sound scary!! Juts have a goodnthinknover the weekend you'll make the right choice for you both xxx

@Jadeypie I felt sick after the glucose drink too. Hopefully it will pass and you’ll get your results quickly. yeah I’m really uncomfortable now baby is engaged.

@Sunshinemoom the pressure is horrible isn’t it! 😣

@Gizmo1983 aw you are having a right time of it aren’t you! Hopefully baby decides to turn themselves before then!

Yeh im think the drink has caused the sickness, some people was spewing and fainting in there today leastbi wasnt like that!
And the presureee im sick of feeling like i constantly need a pee and dont even start on the lightening crotch haha. Iv got the midwife monday i dont no if shes going to offer the sweep or not considering al be nearly 39 weeks but not sure if I'll take it being so close to xmas but then I also just eant baby here haha xx x

Did the midwife tell you your engaged? I think that what hes been doing the last few days.

Also do use feel like use need to wee with the lightening crotch? Part of me is thinking could this be a water infection or is it just oure pressure, it doesnt hurt to wee like xx

@WanderWalkeryeah it really is. And the shooting pains which comes with it takes my breath away.

@Jadeypie yeah same as me when I went. And it made me not feel right all day from the sugar crash! Yeah I always need to wee it’s driving me up the wall. Hopefully she does 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾 xx

Yeah the midwife told me today baby is engaged.

I feel like I’m going to wee myself with lightening crotch! Horrible feeling. I always get it at the worst times too like in the middle of a shop! Xx

@Gizmo1983 what week are you on now? My consultant did say they would deliver at 37 weeks as he reckons the placentas of ladies with immune issues are sometimes prone to weakening faster but who knows.

Oh these are great tips @WanderWalker thank you so much! Love the idea of the postpartum caddy that can be carried between rooms and the peg for the charger is genius 😅 I remember years ago my auntie having a c section and having horrific wind pain in her shoulder which totally baffled me lol but apparently that's a common place for it, so I'll be stocking up on the peppermint oil/tea and chewing gum for sure! Xx

Definitely going to try the lucozade sports too @Nynm23 thank you! Will get some in the house now in case she decides to try and appear earlier 😅 xx

@Jadeypie sorry to hear you're feeling sick after the gd test ☹️ one of my friends threw the drink up at the appointment so I think it's common! Hope you feel better asap. My bump has dropped loads and I'm not quite 36w yet, makes me laugh when it sits on/between my legs as it used to be so high! Xx

@Gizmo1983 Apologies if you have already tried this but have you seen the spinning babies website? My midwife was massively promoting it for people who need to get their babas to turn naturally, said the positions can be really helpful...maybe if you tried them before Monday it might happen itself? xx

@TigerLily38 my heartburn still hasnt improved yet though with the bump drop haha. Xx

Has anyone started getting the daily 'any niggles yet' off family? My MIL is driving me mad haha ive said im sure you will be the first to know considering shes taking our first son haha xxx

Had a consultant appointment today with the diabetic consultant and Was saying about getting my stitch out tomorrow but if I still get a C-section havent gone into labour that by the time I get c section day. and she said what birth do you want? I said well I want an elective C-section but nobody will give me a day and I’m just being messed about she said wait there she got me a provisional date for the 30th of December. She said I’ve seen that you requested if you could have it at 38 weeks so how does 38+ 3 sound. She’s been the only consultant who’s listened to me and actually looked at all of my symptoms as a whole also turns out. I also need an iron transfusion cause my iron is really low. 🙈 I should get a call to confirm it in the next few days if I haven’t to call them next Tuesday to get it confirmed. Xx

No not yet thank god!! But I don’t get it you will know when baby is here as I’ll send you photos 🤣🤣 xx

Oh well this is great news and about bloody time!! So is the stitch staying in place for now then or coming out? Im glad somones finally listened to you xxx

i know finally!! And staying put right now as she said don’t not settle for the birth you do not want because of our piss poor planning basically!! So potentially 12 days and baby boy will be here 🤞🏾 xx

@Sunshinemoom that’s great news that you’ve finally been listened to. Hopefully nothing changes now and that date is fixed. I assume you won’t get stitch out tomorrow now?

I know. I don’t know why it took so long but I’m so grateful for the consultant I saw today. And yeah fingers crossed all stays now. And yeah they told me keep the stitch it x

Glad you’re finally getting somewhere.

30th December is my son’s birthday 😊

Woooo let the count down begin!! Aye we could be due date buddies!! Im still convinced hes going to come early im due 1st xxx

Oh so exciting!! ☺️

Oh we may be imagine!! Xx

30th December seemed like a good birthday date to have from all the looking into I did with it (it was meant to be our section date) before little miss decided 15th December was a better birthday. She was 7lb3oz so not a bad weight at all for 37+1 and actually the heaviest of my babies… not that any of the others kept us admitted with jaundice issues like she has!

very much hoping we are able to leave hospital tomorrow if nothing else than because we apparently need to get some little presents for baby (still unnamed) so we won’t get questions from the older two about why Santa has forgotten her. Husband doesn’t reckon my “she hasn’t got a birth certificate yet so Santa doesn’t know she exists” line would go over very well 😅
