Not to derail - sorry Cassius - but 37 weeks is considered "term" right? So this probably isn't the greatest example ;) So much happens in those last few weeks of gestation, between where Cassius's LO is now (34wks) and 37wks!:
Hun, I hope you are resting up as best as you can with your own definition of "resting" and enjoying your "wearying" pregnancy. Maybe she just wanted to be different from your other two??? :)
Hang in there bub, mummy wants another lovely HB!
yes you are right and i realised that after i reread it .... my point being if the pregnancy gets to the baby being 37 weeks LMP (35 weeks baby age) which is the lower end of term the baby should be ok and well enough to come home.. (but again i know a post term baby at 42 weekers can end up in SCN ).:
just to add : sorry im assuming Cassius is refering that the baby is 34 weeks old from scan dates ( 36 wks LMP) if not and it is 34 LMP i do appologise and please disregard my post ...
I'd be assuming 34 weeks from LMP... I've not heard of the two different dating methods before, fourth pregnancy for me and GP/Obs/MWs have only ever referred to LMP. :dunno:
I think most people date pregnancies from lmp, and in fact this is also the date we give women at scans.:
Definitely referring to LMP dates :)
i do know someone who homebirthed at 35 weeks, and was able to stay home but it was incredibly intensive for mum and the midwife. basically 24 hour kangaroo care in bed for mum and baby, with frequent midwife visits and a whole lot of feeding difficulties. :crossfingers: that your little one just stays comfy for a few more weeks.
Well, today has been awesome! :dance:
the first since Tuesday where I didnt feel like I was in early labour :leap: tight as a barrel BH still (but to be expected at this stage of pg!). all the nausea disappeared, the period cramping gone and totally awesome is that my belly is no longer squeezed just around bubba (gone back to being a normal round pregnant shape).
I am hoping that all this resting has paid off :crossfingers:
Yay, great news. Keep resting xx
That is great Cass. She must have realised that she has missed the boat on September :)
Hope you are more comfortable for the last few weeks of your pregnancy xx
woohoo great news! Keep baking baby :)
Lovely to read :)
Awesome to hear Cass... Now bubba girl just stay put for a couple more weeks ok :)
That's great Cassius :) fingers crossed she stays put for a little while longer :) The girls in the nursery today were saying that any baby born before 36 weeks goes there to be checked over. Sometimes they need to stay other times they go with the mum.
Thanks guys! I hope that tomorrow continues the same way as well...and then we hit 35 weeks! what a week it has been.
Schonell: thanks for the info...you are my inside information lol.
Now don't go thinking that just because today was a good day that you can forget about the resting up OK? Don't make me come down there and make you rest :lol::
...trill, you know me too well :lol:
DH told me off this morning for telling him that I was fine and that he didnt need to help me out so much hahaha.
hey Cassius, just saw your FB update & had to come in for a little stalky-stalk! Glad to hear things are settling down, but yeah, don't you go running around too much! Take care xx
YAY! I though to update this thread! Officially 36 weeks and can now officially have baby at home! WAHOO! have reached this milestone after ALOT of rest and stress, but now there is some pressure taken off. we all want to see us get to 37 weeks so that bubs can really fatten up more, but I do feel a whole lot better that there won't necessarily have to be a mad dash to the hospital :)
It is so nice now to simply deal with BHs....I never knew that I would say that but after all the PTL it is nice to feel something normal without the worry of going into full blown labour ITMS.
Thank you to everyone that has come on here to reply and offer support over the last 2.5 weeks, it really has meant ALOT :grouphug:
Yay! That's such fantastic news! Xx
Yay! now just rest and nest and baby will come on their birthday in the best spot ever.
Yay! That is a huge relief!
Sweet! You've done an awesome job!
Fantastic news huni xxxx
Great news!
great news! :)
That's great to hear!!
