Due April/May 2016

Hi Ladies!

@Ninies - Congrats on the birth of your little boy! May he bring you loads of happiness! Please post a pic when you get a chance!

@Maj - how was the drip? Hope your hips gets better soon!

@MamaK - holding thumbs that things will be happening soon for you and that your dr has good news for you! I am also getting random pains and plenty of Braxton hicks so I don't know if it's a sign that baby might come any day?

@Blou - holding thumbs for you too that baby won't make you wait too long anymore!

@CDLK - just two more days to go then you get to hold you little baby! I am sure all will go well!

@ Jay-bee - sounds like you busy losing your mucus plug by what I have read so far! I think I am also busy losing mine bit by bit!

Today is day two of my maternity leave but it has not clicked yet that I am done with work for a few months! I am using these first days to get a few things done before baby arrives!

Hubby and I went to the Mediclinic prenatal class and learned one or two things quite interesting! Included was another ward tour! Learned something that they didn't properly explain last time we went for a ward visit! Last time I asked if I will be able to move around and find positions comply before it's time to push baby out! They told me yeah no problem! Now this time the sister dead calm told me I can only move around till I am 5cm dilated!!! After that I am not allowed at all to get out of bed even to go to the loo!! They will bring a bedpan!! This was upsetting news to me and I cried all the way home as I am not sure what to make with this new info! I don't want to lie in bed for so long and then be forced to use a bedpan when quite frankly I don't think its necessary? As it is I am struggling with lying down long periods of time now they going to force me to lie down from 5cm Going to see my gynea on Friday will discuss this info with her and see what she says! Going to ask her till how long can I wait before going to the hospital! Lucky the hospital is only 15 min away from us so not a long drive!

@CLDK 3.5kg that's a big baba, I am glad your app went well. I guess you just have to relax and wait for Thursday. yes its going to be a big adjustment for your son, but I am sure with time he will be fine.

@MamaK I also want the baba to be here, talk about those pains isn't it just!!! I also feel them all the time. at the back of my mind I always say maybe the labour pains wont be that bad as I am getting this pain exercise.

I thought I should update the list

Hey ladies,

@maj all the best with the IV.

@Blou I'm right behind you, hope things get going before Thursday

I honestly don't know how I'm feeling. I just want baba to get here already. The waiting is definitely excruciating *sigh*.

My due date's tomorrow, and I've been having very mild period-like cramps, lots of Brixton hicks quite intense ones, last night they came with pain, but very mild too. My back was killing me last night as well kept me awake. But all this comes and goes no real pattern it just confuses me and increases my level anxiety.

My mom came yesterday, and that has added some sunshine to my days, the company is great and she is taking care of me, doing all the house chores and making sure that hubby and I are well fed, thank God for her.

This waiting gosh! I'm seeing my midwife tomorrow, don't even know what to expect in tomorrow's appointment. She's probably just gonna check my water level and blood flow to the baby, she did a cervix check last Friday and though baby had dropped my cervix was still high, so I don't know if she'll check again tomorrow.

Keep well ladies.

Hi there ladies

@Ninies - congrats on baba Luke! So glad all went well. He is also a nice weight and length, healthy baby! Enjoy him

@Blou - I hope things move along for you quickly now, holding thumbs it's soon and no induction necessary

@Maj - holding thumbs the IV goes well and that your hip improves

@JB - How did the scan go?

@Licious - you also don't have long to go now do you? Sjoe can't believe how time is flying!

AFM - went for my final scan yesterday. My little girl is snug and quit happy at the moment. Estimate her to be about 3.5kg now. C-section still scheduled for Thursday, will be going in around 15h00. Kind of nervous just hoping all will go well. I am sooo uncomfortable now so I am kind of ready for her to be born now.

My son is so clingy at the moment, so it's going to be a big adjustment for him!

@Jay-Bee they say its mucus plug and over time especially on the last trimester you loose some and it replaces its self. I also lost some previous weeks ago, they are saying its nothing to worry about.

@Blou I feel you, I must say you are strong...I am not good in waiting It just drives me up the walls....

Hi ladies,

Nothing yet, went to the midwives again yesterday for a nonstress test, baby looks very happy and I still have a lot of amniotic fluid, but nothing seems to be happening yet.

If nothing happens by Thursday, I have a gynae appointment again, she will probably check to see if there has been any real progress, I hope something happens soon as I really do not want to be induced

I am home now on maternity leave, and finally now starting to feel a little impatient, I enjoyed being pregnant but I think I am ready for this new phase in our lives to finally start and this is just frustrating Just feeling emotional and sad today

PS, what time is your appointment on Tuesday Maj
