Larger Families Chatter ~ May 2008-May 2009

Hi ladies.
I'm getting a little stressed about all the comments about how I'll go early with this being #6 & I just wanted to ask if this was the case?
I did go early with Angel, but I also had excess fluid with her, so I can't say I beleive it or not.

Is there any truth in it? I just don't know what to think anymore.

Boo!!!!

Yeah i know its been forever since i have been on here but i am hopefully back!
Hey Storm i must say that i don't personally believe that statement! Mainly because if you remember Molly was my 7th and she was 14 dys overdue and they still had to do the whole S & S to get labour happening for me! So maybe for some but definately not for me! Although my sixth did come early ......... via c-sec due to being in breech

Hope to catch up with you all soon

Cheers
Kat

Thanks Kat!!

I asked the OB today & he seems to thing I'll be pushing 37 weeks, as bub is now engaged. Sure explains all the pressure I've been feeling LOL

Hey Jo, with my 4th, his head was engaged for the longest time, I ended up being induced at 38 weeks, but I also had low platelets and haemoglobin counts that just kept dropping, so they didn't want to chance me haemhorraging during labour / after the birth.

I remember I had days where I could barely stand up cause I was so uncomfortable!

Hang in there hun

Hang in there Storm - the more babies I have the earlier I seem to engage but don't mean I come that early, my 7th was a 37 weeks at home in the water and the easiest birth and a very healthy baby.

Thanks ladies.

I'm trying not to stress about it all, I'll admit I am worried he'll come early, but I just can't see it.
Angel was engaged for what seemed like ages as well, & her birth was wonderful too, apart for the awful PPH that followed, the most painful part was when she crowned, so I'm hoping this one will be the same LOL not likely!!!

Storm firstly i have to say you look absolutely fantastic in your pic! I thought that yesterday and forgot to say it
Wow that is early to engage, I hope for your sake that you do go early as the pressure will only get worse now that bubs is engaged! I can't believe that yor bub is nearly due! for me it seems like only last month that you announced your PG! I guess i have been tied up in my own world!

Hi to everybody else its great to see that some of you have stayed in here! I hope to be popping my head in more often now!

Maz it was great to see you on here too! How is Mateauz doing???
Hi to everyone else I look forward to catching up with you all again!

Cheers
