Thread: My diary

I had to buy my maternity jeans all a size smaller cus of weight I lost at begining first place I lose weight is always off my legs, now it's back on but in diff places x

Im glad your enjoying ur pregnancy maybe its helped you to feel better this time by not gaining much weight have you wrote out a birth plan? Ive got a few bits from my lo but there is still abit I need to buy and still havent made up my mind about a pram yet.
You might be all baby Mrs S I think ur both doing amazing. I don't think I got much fluid thats why ive not gained any weight, my fluid level was very low wiv my first daughter and lost bit of weight during pregnancy but last time I had loads of water and put on 3 stone! Also my youngest was born with loads of hair and didn't have any heart burn during pregnancy but did wiv my first and she was born wiv a little bit of hair so don't know about heart burn theory xx

I don't have a birth plan didn't the first time either, don't really know what I should be thinking of, I considered a water birth but I'm not allowed, I wanted to stay at home as long as possible but doesn't look like I'll get that option. I don't want an epi this time as I had one first time and it was a waste of time but who know's. I don't want forcep's but I said that first time and it never came up. I'll have my hubby and mum with me but that's about it x

Today I've eaten
Weetabix, milk
2 slices brown bread with lc cheese sp
Lamb roast dinner with roast potato's, Yorkshire's, parsnips, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, Swede
Ice cream for tea
Supper was a curly wurly. Packet of Crisp's, and just shared a dairy milk with hubby x

Cos your having a vbac their make you go in hospital during early stages of labour and probably put a drip in it wud of been so nice if you were allowed a water birth but I wasnt allowed one either and that was with my first child, do you know what will happen if you go over due will they offer you an induction or make you have another section? xx

Sorry what's vbac? My consultant said if I go overdue they can't induce me. They can only try naturally by doing a sweep, but then they'll only let me go two weeks and then access, I presume if I don't start naturally they might have no option to do a c section, I should prob ask next time. I did hear that in my situation they sometimes try and induce you naturally before due date to give them more time, but they do loads of tests etc first. I don't know how true that is x

Vaginal birth after caesarean, I had a sweep last time it didnt work they made me go 2wks over due before letting me have a section, I didnt want an induction cos it doesn't work on me anyway but most consultants don't like giving induction after section, hopfully you won't go over due and your have a good birth this time x

I hope she's impatient like her mummy and comes early lol (not too early though) I hope she's ready early and doesn't give me a 36 hour labour to be only 6cm then have an emergency c section like her big brother. You've not got long to go, have you got your section date yet or just your appointment date to find out about your section date? x

Hopfully your baby arrive at 39 wks and fast delivery I got go to hospital on 13th March to see consultant and be booked in for section scarey got mw this wk might need to have bloods done again as my bloods gone missing, when's your next scan x

My LO was born on his due date, I had a great labour but I had a really bad tear when he came out and had to go theatre for 3 hours, was told I'd have to have a c section next time, but now I'm pregnant theyve said I dont need one so I'm trying for a homebirth, really dont want to give birth on consultant ward which is where I'll have to go cus I'm not allowed in birth center, at end of the day it's your decision they can't force you to do anything you don't want to xx
I never had a birth plan last time I just said I want DH to cut cord, and baby to have bit k injection and I'll have whatever pain relief etc I want at the time, I always said I was gunna get an Epi but never even asked for one cus I wasn't in that much pain. Just had had gas and air and pethadine! Getting excited now it coming round so fast! Xx

On 4th April, I have my consultant the week after but don't know if I'm going to go. I have midwife 6th March so going to discuss with her x

I think its lovely that your having a scan later on it give you an idea how big ur baby will be and your know everything is going well. I cud have mine on 4th april thats when Im meant to be booked in for section.
Mrs S sounds like you had a lovely birth with ur lo apart from the tear you must be pls that you don't need a section If I was having a natural birth I wouldn't want an epi, I gave vitamin K to both of mine and will do this time x

Yeah last time they gave me approximate weight and we pretty much guessed to the oz how big he was going to be that was fun 4 April not long x

Any day that wk really but not sure cos its falls near easter so they cud make me go abit longer than 39wks. I had alot scans wiv Emily and the estimate weight they gave me was under 5lbs and she was 6.10!

Hopefully I don't need one changed hospitals got to meet new midwives on Wednesday so they might be diff than my other hospital and say I need one!
I had scan with my LO at 39+2 they said he would be less than 6lbs and he came 5 days later weighed 8lbs 9oz so not always accurate haha xx
