Hi all. Well I am still here!!! We had our Ob appointment yesterday and he is happy for us to continue until 10 days late before he will induce. We had the heartrate monitored again and all was good, and he had booked us in for another monitoring on Saturday. Assuming it goes well then we will not be moving the induction forward at all. I really want this little girl to make her own way into the world, so I hope she decides to do so soon! I am getting no niggles at all, just a lot of pressure and some minor discomfort. I am having acupuncture done today so hopefully that will help, but to be honest...I doubt it! She is one stubborn child.
Rozzie - congrats on your 3rd wedding anniversary. We got married one day apart. I think it is understandable that you are tired, your mother is probably correct. It is exhausting enough being pregnant, let alone all the extra emotional and physical baggage that we all carry. Rest when you can.
Sue - I agree with Rozzie about the baby's movements. My ob said that I could very well feel movement earlier than 22 weeks - but they only consider is 'reliable' movement from 22 weeks. Maybe that is what your GP meant. Basically, from 22 weeks you should be able to confidently say that you are feeling movement each day, but this does not mean you can't feel some movement earlier. I felt movement from 17 weeks and felt it every day, it just increased and changed from flutters to rolls to proper kicks. Glad to hear the baby's heartbeat was good, and I suppose the pains was just due to your body changing and stretching - so fun!
Helen - sounds like you are busy with your properties. Make sure you rest up. Poor DS's fingers! I hope your appointment goes well on Monday. Keep us up to date.
Hi to everyone - Lan, Cindee, Jo and Laney. I hope you are all well. I am not sick of you all asking yet, I love that you are all excited for me! Besides, DHs parents ring us each night (separately) just to check - because you know we will totally forget to tell them! His mum finished with, 'Ok well I will call tomorrow' and DH said that maybe she should let him do the calling. It is sweet, but I can imagine it will start to get a bit much the furter overdue we go. He also reiterated to her that we will call when we go into labour and leave for the hospital but that I don't want anyone waiting at the hospital. His family live 3 hours away, and both parents are planning on hopping in their cars to get here the moment they hear the news. It is their first grandchild, so I do understand that they are beyond excited, but we have decided we want the first couple of hours with our little girl all to ourselves. I think we have earnt that right.
