I suppose I should've explained better... I don't really want to get Cookie out ASAP, it's only an idle fantasy at best. There's no way I'll be agreeing to an induction unless they give me a very good reason I know he/she needs to stay in until we're both ready, I just selfishly want to meet my baby. Not this week though. The "eviction papers" won't be handed over until mid next week, once Ianto's birthday is over and done with.
Some of you might have seen it on FB, but they've stopped asking me about induction () and now I just have to have weekly CTGs and fluid checks. It's better than what I was going to suggest if they brought up induction again, so I'm quite happy
Dory, if I'm not on over the next couple of days, happy birthday to your Amelia
Dory, wow, anniversaries are hard, sometimes harder when you have a baby in your arms as you know the true extent of what you lost. My heart is with you as you remember your gorgeous angel and know you will get through the day as strong as you can be.
Teni - That's really exciting about less induction talk. And I think we all sympathise with why you were saying you wanted your bub out. I felt the same way with my DS. I just wanted him safely in my arms and when I got to 37 weeks I was like "just get him out" but he stayed another two weeks and surprised me at 39 weeks. Try and keep your mind busy, do some relaxation etc and it won't be long before you have your precious bundle.
Laney - glad to hear Grayson is going well! And that the clots seem to be clearing up :-)
As for me, just taking one day at a time. Bub is moving a lot now which is so reassuring and as I'm still not showing at all, it's nice to know there is something in there and that feeling exhausted, emotional and sick is all for a reason :-) I have my 19 week scan coming up in three weeks and feel so nervous about it. It was at that scan we were told we were having a son, and then that he was very ill and I still remember wanting to vomit on the ultrasound bed. I knew this stage would be hard but I'm finding it harder this time around. I guess as I said before, now that I have DS I truly know what I lost first time around. Also had a scare over the weekend with a terrible low pressure pain "down there", It felt like bub's head was literally hanging in the birth canal. I rang the hospital who said that unless there was cramps and bleeding, that hopefully all would be fine. So I turned online and started freaking out that I was having symptoms of incompetent cervix. Didn't sleep a wink that night! Oh the joys...
Emotionally, doing better. I still have my days but the happy/less stressed ones are outweighing the worried/nervous ones. Big hugs to all :-)
Sorry i havn't had a chance to get in here. But i would like to tell you all that on the 11th Feb at 10.10pm little Sophie Ann entered our lives by emergency c/s, weighing 4.3kg (9lb 8oz) 55cm long and a 34.7cm HC.
I would like to thank each and everyone of you for helping me through this pregnancy, i don't know how i would have got through without you! Thanks again
A MASSIVE congratulations to you Bec on the birth of your darling girl!!!! Well done, what a good size she was too
Dory - I hope your day goes well tomorrow. It sounds like you have made some lovely plans for the anniversary and the balloons sound beautiful. I will be thinking of you and your angels tomorrow with much love xxx
Powelly - it is good to hear you are having more good days than bad and hopefully that continues for you, especially after you have a good scan in 3 weeks. Just for some reassurance, I have IC and never had any feelings or signs that my cervix was failing till it was way too late so stay away from google!!
Teni - yay for no more induction talk!
Nothing to report here; my belly button has officially disappeared and I am getting the ligament pain radiating down into my thighs now so its all fun, fun, fun
OMG - my heart just skipped a beat when I saw the notification that you had posted....
OMG I am so excited or you.
Welcome to the world precious Sophie Ann .....
I hope that Mum and Sophie are doing well.
Very good weight and length. Can't wait to hear more details, when you can manage it and if you want to share.
Hope that you are recovering well from your caesarean.... and hope the emergency part wasn't too stressful for you.
Go gently on yourself as you start this new journey.
Powelly - arghh. stay away from Dr Google.... never a good thing unless you are looking for something specific. I, like Jo aka AngelLuke'sMum - have incompetent cervix, well probably. For me it meant I went into spontaneous premature labour - contractions, a show.... although for me there were other things going on too - infections blah blah blah.
If you're worried, go up to the hossy and get checked out. Good to call them too though like you did, but if that reassurance isn't enough, head on up to the hossy.... no harm to go up.
Good news on a scan coming up though for you, 3 weeks seems like an eternity.
Miss B - is DH back from China yet?
Teni - yay about no more induction...
Jo - are you on bed rest or modified rest with your stitch? If so I wanted to ask how you managed with Kaitlyn? I'll be needing some tips when my time comes again.
Well errands all done.... just have to finalise the little service booklet. The candles look really good. Will post some photos in my album here on BB.
CONGRATS SAMCOUGAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's lovely news that Sophie has arrived safely into your arms. What a big girl! Enjoy the lovely stage of getting to know each other and as Dory said, be gentle on yourself :-)
Angellukesmum and Dory - thank you so much for your advice and sharing your stories. I think all the niggles I'm having is bub moving from my pelvis up and out. I feel sooooo tight in my lower abdomen and as if there's no more room and today I've had sharp stabbing pains on and off so I'm sure that's it. I'll go for a walk later and hope that the movement somehow budges bub up and out of the pelvis. Hmmm, sounds interesting...
CONGRATULATIONS Samcougar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for you sweetie, welcome to your beautiful princess Sophie Ann ! Enjoy all your beautiful cuddles hun, well done!
Jo, hellooooo my lovely! Look at you hun, you are ready to pop any minute!! Can't wait for your BA, do you think it will be soon??? Hope so!! DF is still in China hun, will have him back in 2 weeks
Dory, I will be thinking of you tomorrow, big hugs sweetie What you have planned is just so beautiful, particularly the butterflies (I love balloons too) so I hope the day brings you much peace and love. Amelia, Nicholas and Sophie will all be smiling down on you from above, and blowing HB so many sweet kisses. I have a tear in my eye now..
Powelly, please try not to stress too much hun I remember all those niggly feelings all too well! Rest up and chin up hun, it will be all good, I just know it!! Big hugs
Laney, yay for hubby being back!! I miss mine So glad that clot isn't there anymore, the thinners must be working! I plan to attack my DF on the 'babies' topic when he is back from China but I would really love to do a cycle this year. We'll see!
Did I miss anyone? Oh Tenni, how are you going hun???
