Hey everyone happy new year hope you all and all the babies... Well not so much babies anymore are doing well I'm 37+4 today and really feeling it, getting impatient and really want my boy here šš Any tips for bringing on labour?? Feels like its going really slow nowĀ
@MrsRees nearly 38 weeks, thatās so amazing! Not long left now at all. Walking, bouncing on a birthing ball??? With my first two, I tried everything: pineapple, curry, sex, everything and nothing happened. I then tried nothing with Matilda and she came 2 weeks early!š¤·š»āāļøš¤·š»āāļø I think theyāre in charge!!š¤£š¤£š¤£
with Matilda, I was really feeling it at the end so I decided that I was going to change my mindset. I decided to cherish every last day being pregnant because the baby would soon be here and thatās what Iād recommend- youāll miss the kicks so much when the babyās here. Take bump pics, videos of movements and enjoy those kicks and hopefully baby will decide to come early!š¤š»š¤š»š¤š»
I have got to admit I have loved being pregnant, considering the hardships of getting pregnant and staying pregnant I've had, I have had a really easy pregnancy with very few symptoms really and no issues with reduced movements and stuff so I count myself very luckyĀ
I think I want him to come sooner rather than later as my work are pretty safe covid wise at the minute and I do worry about another spike before my husbands holiday starts and the risk of him getting it
Baby is sunny side up at last midwife appointment hoping he turns around as back to back labour's are supposed to be much worse
@Bobble321 I can't believe how close we are to having these babies I wonder which if us will pop first can't wait for your announcementĀ
Morning Ladies! I canāt believe how close these babies are! I hope it goes fast for you!
Cant help with bringing on labour as I went to 41 then 42 weeks with mine š. I think theyāll come when they come as I tried everything including alllll the walking. All it did was make me tired š.
@MrsRees on back labour, I had it with Evie and honestly I wouldnāt necessarily say it was worse than Jamie. It was a different kind of contraction pain but as this is your first delivery and you donāt know what labour feels like l think you will probably convince yourself itās 100 times worse than it actually is. At least I did and came out pleasantly surprised - Iām not saying it doesnāt hurt at all but I defo amped it up in my brain! Hopefully your little man turns for you though!Ā
@MrsRees wow I canāt believe how close you are I am so excited for you & hubby! Iām glad to hear your pregnancy has gone well! No tips here either unfortunately š both of mine were 8 days late! But I agree with @EvelynAndJamiesMummy6390 it wasnāt as bad as I had convinced myself it was going to be, I only had gas and air with both, with Harry I only had it for 15 minutes before he was born, have you thought about what pain relief youād like? xx
@Bobble321 youāre so close too! Itās amazing!! Iām not sure anything does work either!! I was late with my first 2!!
@MrsRees My first 2 were both Back to back but like @EvelynAndJamiesMummy6390, I didnāt know any different! It all hurts-š¤£š¤£š¤£ but itās sooooo worth it!!!
Thanks girls that has made me feel a lot better about the labour if he is still back to back he might have turned by now and like you say I have nothing to compare it too the only thing that did majorly worry me was that there is more chance of tears
How's everyone getting in with this new lockdown?? I've been really lucky that it hasn't impacted me much really The home I work at went thorough the covid 30 out of 36 residents got it and 5 died, I'm obviously not working but hubby still works there so been really worried about him bringing it homeĀ
Mrsrees Rosie was back to back and I didnāt know till they mentioned it after and i didnāt find it hard to get her out and had no tears!Ā
Lockdown is just so eurgh isnāt it, feel like Iāve gotten more used it the more itās happened though, feel like we are pros at staying home now lol So just thought Iād update yous, went for grown scan on Tuesday, been having them weekly/2 weekly for a while now due to low PAPP-A, prev miscarriages and Rosie being smaller than average, anyways plan has been made and getting induced tomorrow! Will be 37+4, they did a sweep on Tuesday and said my cervix was already 2cm! Iāve lost my mucus plug since sweep and did appear to be going into early labour last night but that stopped and has been settled all day, so just waiting on tomorrow now!Ā
Hope youāre all well, please say a little pray for me ā„ļø Xxxxxx
Good luck for tomorrow @Bobble321! Hope itās a quick one for you (I was induced with Jamie and my established labour was 6 minutes š) and that it all goes smoothly! Once youāre all settled with new baby youāll need to pop back and let us all know your news ā¤ļø Xx
@Bobble321 I was in 3h45 from the gel being put in but once it started working I was straight to 4cm, then 10cm and he flew out š. I was 42 weeks though so he was really ready, apparently his head was sitting behind my cervix not on it so once they opened the door he made a break ššš. I was nervous about induction but have to admit it made the childcare aspect for Evie much easier š. And actually I didnāt really find it much different! X
I hope itās that smooth for me! Rosie was induced at 38 weeks so I donāt really know anything else! I have to go in on my own until in established labour so hope it occurs reasonably quickly! Xxx
34 weeks for me! Canāt believe I have only 6 weeks left! Like you @Bobble321 I also have had a couple of growth scans as baby is measuring small but all seems ok now. Baby must have had a growth spurt!Ā
Wow @Bobble321 can't believe your being induced today, your probably in the throws of labour now but I guess your winning the race for who's first šš hope all is going OK and that baby is here safely as soon as can be
@MickeyS fab your 34 weeks, that was only a month ago for me but God it feels like a lifetime ago š glad baba has had a growth spurt and is measuring OK, Oliver is measuring around 7lb 7oz at the minute according to my chart but I think he will be around That born tbh I don't trust the measurements they do just by size of bump I've had no growth scans so haven't seen him since 20 weeks we where in lockdown for when I wanted 28 week 4d scan done so was a bit guttedĀ
@MickeyS nope no nhs scans after 20 weeks unfortunately so was gutted I couldn't get a private one although at least I got one at 17 weeks which really calmed my nerves while waiting for 2p week scan and to feel movementĀ
