MISS KELLY... its ok to feel a bit emotional your about to become a mummy and from what your saying there sweetheart dont be at all suprised if its not sooner you have done so well,not long now hang in there sweets.
Another update... Back from 2 1/2 hours at hossy being monitored. It seems that I am actually getting contractions but just mild ones at the moment, OB came to check me out and have been told that my cervix is softening but still closed at the moment (although he could push it to 1 if he had too). Baby is still fine, so have been sent home to see if anything changes in the next day or so. They didn't want to c/s today as we are only just at 37 weeks so hoping that we can keep her in for a few more days before possibly delivering this week.
Just a heads up, if you happen to get really bad pains around your cervix area and an associated sore bad with BH contractions, you could actually be in pre labour or labour as the midwife at the hospital told me that as your uterus contracts the pain radiates into your cervix (who would have guessed, I was waiting for pains in my stomach).
Hee hee,
would you look at the time. Oooh am I having fun yet??? All this partying and no alcohol..go Jazzy!
Kelly, thanks for the heads up re back pain symptoms. Since I had my moxa treatment, I've been feeling like I should be careful what I wish for and hope I don't make her come sooner. No turning yet but lots of tumbling still. You're so close to going naturally considering you aren't due til a few weeks after the c/s booking anyway hey? Take care and lotsa luck for keeping her put til you're ready.
Happy Birthday to you Saph
Feeling crook with reflux, not up to doing much, just up...urghh. Grub, I'll finally answer your comment about the t.v and couch potato hobby. Ihave neither the t.v or the couch...hee hee. Decided against the t.v. I live in the Daintree man!! It's just sacrilage (sp) to invite the Demtel man and Oprah into my beautiful life on the hill. I went shopping open to buying a new one and there was a daytime infomercial and nup...I couldn't do it...so I'm cured So no comfy slouchy couch either as we gave away our gorgeous big fluffy $3000 couch to a friend up the road when we moved here. It was the day bed which is uncomfy but suits the open style of the house or the big yellow yummy comfy couch. We have learnt to let go of a lot to live this lifestyle but well I'm sure I do't have to tell you how much we've gained. It's okay I can brag cos we don't know where we'll be in a few month's time when we have to leave the dream behind us (maybe).
Can I just tell you Greenslw, I cried today too mate and I really have nothing to cry over, just a bit of uncertainty and built up tension I spose, so when I tripped on a dog's bed and hit my head on my brass bell chimes (and it really hurt), I just went outside and buried my face for a bit of a pity party. I just had a bit of a gutful of having my body overtaken and feeling sick and pregnant and trying to balance times when you feel well enough to work on damn uni and blah blah. Nothing at all really but just a build up. You on the other hand have real stuff going on and it's no wonder you're having a mini-meltdown and you're still yet to have the talk about the unhappy DF and future decisions. take care of you and don't rush things
Kelly did they give you anything to stop your contractions? The race is on now
Greenslw I was a little disappointed but getting over it now I am trying to keep myself busy so I don't think about it and hopefully time will fly. My doctors have let me go out for lunch which was nice. I hope you and you DF manage to have that conversation it might take some of the pressure off you.
BOC my OB has her holidays in the reception area and my DH and I said I hope these boys don't come in october I hope you are ok and the bushfire doesn't get to bad for you, do you have a plan.
Murph how annoying is that darn reflux omg. When I get it, it burns my throat and it hurts to eat.
Smithy yah you are all booked in it makes it all real now
AFM finding it really hard to sleep I think the boys are running out of room. I can feel them kick near the top of my rib cage ouch.
Azz: No they gave me nothing to stop the contractions as we are now over 37 weeks and with the c/s scheduled on the 12th we are now just waiting to see if things get moving themselves or if I last until the 12th.
Today has been weird, my back is killing me and it feels like the contractions are happening almost constantly but I am now getting tightening around my ribs as well, so it feels like I am in a corset and getting squeezed. At least I am getting sleep which is a bonus but will see what happens the next few nights. I have an appointment with the OB on Tuesday so will see if there is any change to the plans but if I have to suffer pre labour pains for the week I will be utterly shattered as I just can't get comfy at all. Here was me thinking I would be fine up until c/s date and just breeze in have the surgery and then have a healthy bub. It appears my body wants me to suffer some kind of labour anyway and then I have the recovery from surgery as well..ahhhhhh something I was trying to avoid.
