Marcellus - I hope the S&S helps somewhat. I had my midwife visit today, and she was telling me of recent clients that had gone up to 43+4 weeks! LOL. Sorry... probably not what you want to hear... but hey... some babies just wanna keep baking. Been keeping an eye out for your news tho... looking forward to hearing it soon
I'm sooo loving having the midwife visits at home. We got to hear the heartbeat today which was cool We're also going to change my dates to what the 12 week ultrasound put me at.. which makes me 14 weeks today. Going with the earlier date to increase my likelihood of getting to 37 weeks LOL. Still means we're pretty much aiming for a June baby to be able to birth at home. I'll be getting in touch with my TCM guy about what he can do to help keep this one in to term as well.
We talked about the various tests that can be done throughout pg. I definitely want the morphology scan, but am questioning whether to do the GCT? I don't think I'll bother with the GBS either as I won't opt for antibiotics during labour anyway even if it's positive. But the GCT I just don't know. I haven't had GD in either of my pgs, but Kayla was a big baby (to this day unexplained LOL) and I do have PCOS.. so am unsure whether to just do it or leave it. Ugh.. will have to think about it soon, as I want to get all my referrals from my GP next time I see her. I don't find the test that much of a hassle I guess.. don't find the drink sickening or anything, so I guess there's no harm in just doing it hey. (sorry.. thinking out loud hehe).
Anyway.. sending lots of labour vibes out to those of you that want/need them Hope you're all doing well otherwise
Hi Liz: Wow sounds so nice your appointment. I too wanted a 20week scan but said no to GTT and GBS. GTT because i havent had it before and if you dont have history and you havent increased your age dramatically since the last pregnancy they say there is no need.
Also GBS, yes a scary thing that can happen to bubs, but the IVABs dont completely cover bubs and you have to have had two lots on board to be covered which is 8 hrs and then you still have to watch baby. You normally have the test 4-6weeks before bubs is born and then that only means that it could clear up or you could get it in those 4-6weeks.
I always just make sure that i do my bubs temps every 4 hrs after birth for 48hrs, easy.
Marcellus: S&S sounds great then...let us know if you lose any plug, So i think its 48hrs now you have to see if it works. You are going with 43weeks now arent you so HEAPS of time
It's funny Liz, we're going with a later EDD based on a scan (6 extra days) because I have the opposite problem to you!
So yeah, officially 43 weeks is 1st of January!!!
43weeks! Thats great to buy yourself that extra time. How are you really emotionally, coping or a bit of a mess right now? Is there anything we can do? maybe if we all wrote a note under our pillow for you?? Whats the next best date?
I had a minor breakdown saturday morning, but put my big girl panties on I'm back to my usual patient, level self... for now. I think the hospital visit may test me, but DH will spend the day with me. And who knows, I might actually get this baby out before then... 48 hours you reckon?
There are birthdays today and wednesday in teh extended family, so mum reckons tomorrow is good, not that it really matters.
In our family & friends guessing pool only dad, DH and I remain - the most pessimistic ones I guess
Nawww marcellus... it's gotta happen one of these days... hang in there. Maybe start a project that HAS to be finished before bub comes... that's bound to make you go in to labour right in the middle of it... things always happen that way for me LOL. Yeah, we totally have the opposite problem with dates LOL. Altho I said today, this will probably be my 42 weeker :/
