Wow 10 pound? Still those guesses have been proven wrong in the past haven't they?

All the same is it too late to ask for a c-section?

Good luck sweetie! ]]> Mon, 01 May 2006 16:17:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2277&PID=42752&title=help#42752 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2277&PID=42747&title=help#42747 Author: jack_&_charli

Thanks Aimee, I will have to go have a hunt for that post. I have a nasty suspicion I will go overdue & have to be induced but I just want to do something so at least I can feel that I have tried to get things going.

And to be honest I'm really terrified at how big this baby is going to be. I'm really little and my midwife is guesstimating a 10 pound baby if I go to term since he seems to be quite long
I'm just starting to wish that I had just asked for the c-section.

Hi ladies.
My trip to the midwife went kind of ok. Bubs is fine & healthy, I had a high protein level & some blood in my urine though so I'm now on antibiotics and had some tests done. Should hopefully get the results in a couple of days if anything is wrong....so if I get no news its good news.
Pains last night made me cry coz they were so sore, but this could be all be because of an infection.
Bubs is sitting quite low and is very very long.....BUT the really excellent news is that he is has turned around again & is in an excellent position to head on out My midwife said if I can manage it to relax as much as possible, Bubs might head out early. Really hard to relax when I'm getting these pains but Spencer has taken over all the housework for now & is picking up some evening primrose oil capsules for me as I type.


So any tips on how to get everything moving or at least "prepared" would be helpful. I'm ready to try just about anything except castor oil.]]> Mon, 01 May 2006 12:35:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2277&PID=42648&title=help#42648 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2277&PID=42508&title=help#42508 Author: daikini

Hi Ladies, just an update.
Nothing has really changed, still lots of pains, sore back & if I spend any more time on my hands & knees I'm going to wear all the skin off LOL!
Big sigh of relief though, I managed to get hold of Spencer yesterday afternoon & he packed everyone up & headed straight home. Big relief for me!
Mum was really great but she is no good for cuddling up to in bed!
Anyway today I'm feeling alot better even with everything going on and I have an appointment with my midwife tomorrow to see what is happening and Spencer will be coming with me. I'm not ready for this baby yet so I'm keeping my legs crossed as tightly as possible.....at least until I get to 38 weeks anyway ]]> Sun, 30 Apr 2006 14:09:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2277&PID=42469&title=help#42469 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2277&PID=42361&title=help#42361 Author: caraMel

Aw that sucks about going through all that pain for nothing! But good that the babe stays in there, hopefully at least for two weeks. Babes coming early scare me a little.

So spend lots of time on hands and knees to try and get bubs in the right position!

Morning ladies. I had quite a rough night last night. Everything stopped & started & just drove me mad & Alex must have known something was wrong because he played up soooooooo bad
Midwife arrived to check on me at 8 this morning & still only 1cm and like Becca said its not unusual to be 1cm dilated after a first baby apparently. She did say it's not quite usual since I had c-section but I'm not really getting my hopes up.
Still haven't managed to get a hold of Spencer or any of the people he is with so I've pretty much given up on that. My mum is driving down from Auckland to see me & I might go back up with her but I'm not sure.
So basically no news except it looks like I have the "irritable uterus" thing going on. And bubs is posterior so my back is of course killing me.

Sorry for all the drama, just very fed up & tired right now.]]> Sat, 29 Apr 2006 08:49:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2277&PID=42344&title=help#42344 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2277&PID=42342&title=help#42342 Author: AlyAyde

Drat! I was hoping something was happening for her! Toni, you have my fullest sympathies if it does turn out you've got irritable uterus!

Trying not to be the bearer of bad(ish) news... apparently 2nd/whatever time mums are dilated 1cm to begin with... something to do with the cervix being slightly stretched so stays slightly open. Doesn't affect bubs or the pregnancy though.]]> Fri, 28 Apr 2006 23:04:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2277&PID=42338&title=help#42338 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2277&PID=42337&title=help#42337 Author: james

LOL Yes BUT it actually looks like I already have another update, just got a further txt from Toni (who got up to put Alex to sleep - her friend was having trouble), and looks like it was a false alarm She thinks maybe it is irritable uterus after all, so I told her that I hope it makes it's mind up sooner rather than later !

Ok so the midwife came and as far as I know Toni has dilated 1cm, but hasn't really progressed since then - she said she was feeling pretty exhausted already (from worry) and was going to try and sleep.

I had irritable uterus with Josiah. What that means, is that you have a whole lot of irregular contractions that don't do anything as far as bringing on actual labour goes (the contractions don't have any effect on the cervix).

Not trying to worry you, but during the three weeks my irritable uterus carried on I did not get a show... I second what Maria said - call your midwife back and get her to check you over. My midwife came out to my place at least twice a week during that three week period, and she always told me to ring her again if I needed to. That's what she's there for!

We're thinking of you. Keep us updated... and good luck contacting Spencer!]]> Fri, 28 Apr 2006 19:07:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2277&PID=42290&title=help#42290 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2277&PID=42289&title=help#42289 Author: jax

Hey everyone,

Firstly - *HUGS* for you Toni, I know we've been chatting, but you know I'm here for you !!

For all you other ladies, I've made her promise to keep me up to speed via txt or phone call, and if this is really IT will let you know.

I'm heading out for a little bit, but as far as I'm aware Toni has hopped in the tub to help with the pain, has a friend over to watch Alex, and the midwife is on her way over to check on her.

I'm really not sure but I think I'm in labour. Lost my mucus plug this morning & now I'm getting pains. Alot different from the BH I have been getting. My whole tummy feels squeezed & lots of pressure down low. Lasts anywhere from 10 seconds to a minute, coming every 5-15 minutes so far.
I called my midwife and she said if they get regular or if my waters break to call her. She said it could just be "irritable uterus" or something?

Just freaking out that this might really be it coz Spencer has gone away & his stupid cellphone is "out of service" Grrrrr!
And I'm not sure if it really is something to worry about coz last time I was in labour I couldn't really feel it until it was established]]> Fri, 28 Apr 2006 18:32:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2277&PID=42282&title=help#42282
