Lauras Diary of Incubating

Hehe not sure about the jealousy part but thanks Sarah. Kinda sad to think that in a few months my very last baby bump will be gone :eek:
Ooh never thought of that. I'm hoping to have one more but we're probably just gonna leave it up to nature next time. Maybe...

You do look fab though!!x

If you even have a notion to have another that won't leave in my experience, the want just grows. I know this time that this is my last. I definately will be happy and content with 3 children, its always been my ideal. I will miss my bump for a while and that feeling that there is something special going on between just me and my baby, no one else. I won't miss feeling crappy but wouldn't give it back for the world. I can't wait to meet this baby and watch it grow into its own little person, seeing the differences between it and its siblings....very exciting times :D
 
Aw laura your bump is deadly. Hope the next few weeks go well. :)

Love the bump! Nakie bumps are all gorgeous :)

I'm definitely not having any more, a) because of my age and b) because I'd probably go insane! I can't say the idea isn't crossing my mind more as this pregnancy goes on but I don't think I'd dare tbh...
 
35+5 - 20/11/2013 - WEDNESDAY

Back from the clinic. I told the doctor all about my pains and having loads of braxton hicks. She said BH shouldn't really be painful but she can't feel anything that would cause the pain. Babies head is down but not engaged so its not that (babies head might not engage till active labour anyway). So I've to keep an eye and if they get worse she wants to see me again. Now that I'm nearing 36 weeks anyway they've to see me weekly.

Babys heart rate is around 138bpm, and head is down so she is happy enough.

Was just thinking this morning that if this had been my son I'd be in labour in 2 days eeekkk. Its making the waiting for this one seem all the more nerve wracking and exciting, just don't know when it might come. My daughter is getting a little fed up waiting at this stage and has told her teacher at school that she hopes the baby comes in time to see her in her christmas play lol. She is a narator and wants the baby to meet all her friends :D

Must go now and hoover the bedrooms. Having a nice little burst of energy today after feeling so tired and listless yesterday.

Loving your bump - it's a perfect bump definitely all baby in there!
Glad your MW appointment went well, hopefully not too long for you to wait now given your other labours. Eeee how exciting! Glad baby is head down and behaving.

Oh bless your daughter wanting baby to watch her christmas play...that is just too cute!

Maybe the burst of energy is a sign that your body is getting ready ;) make sure you rest as well as cleaning etc :)

Yeah I had mad burst of energy the day before both of my last labours. You've had a few kids haven't you? Sorry don't think I'm following your diary anywhere, must have a look and see if I can find you.
 
Sounds like you've not long to wait! Hopefully baby will stay in a little longer for you but it definitely sounds like it's getting close now. I think I'm in 'til the bitter end unfortunately, it'll be a Boxing Day induction for me! :/

Baby will come when its ready, unfortunately its one of them things we don't have control over. I could very well be waiting weeks and weeks too. I'm gonna try and get out and about this weekend with my other 2 kids and hubby to spoil them before the baby takes over x

Sounds like a lovely idea :)

Lack of control is something I can't cope with very well, not that I have much choice in the matter. I wish I could be excited about going into labour, would be better than being scared to death :/ You're right through, it's something I just need to deal with. x

Have you everything else organised that is in your control? Have you a birth plan written and researched all your pain medication options? I'm happier not planning these as I think I'd be disappointed if it didn't go to my plan but if you need control it might help, the researching could take your mind off it. But I can nearly promise you labour will not be as bad as you have imagined. ((hugs))

I've not got a birth plan as I think it could end up making things worse, if things don't go to plan (and I know they often don't) I don't want to end up freaking out because my plan went wrong. In terms of other stuff, the only thing that would help is knowing an induction date in case he doesn't come on his own (preferably at 40 weeks but my chances of that happening are slim). I'm not worried about the pain oddly, it's the loss of control that terrifies me, it's part and parcel of the anxiety and depression. And there's nothing I can do about that so I just need to deal with it. Thanks for the reassurance though, you don't get much of that from the professionals ;) x

Aww how sweet of your little girl..
Hope baby stays put n cooks for a little longer.. But hope you're all sorted n home n back on yer feet (to an extent) all in time for Christmas.. I know how much it means to you to make it big for the other littluns..

I'm not doing a birth plan as such but will write down little factors such as J would like to cut the cord.. I'd like skin 2 skin contact asap etc... I've not done my research as regards pain relief n the pro's n cons but once I have i'll add what I'd like to have, what I'd prefer not to have but what i'll take if needs be etc... So more my preferences, than my plan.. Missy that might be an idea for you too.... ??

The fact it can happen anytime anywhere scares me.. and excited me.. But chances are i'm gona be at home as I'm sure I won't be going too far from home when i'm due to pop!!
 
Hi sweet x sorry to hear you've been feeling lots of pain? How bizarre? and the MW definitely doesn't think it could be labour?

Good that baby is head down and engaged...should be making an appearance soon hey? :) How exciting.

I can't wait til all of these babies start coming out :D

Hope you're feeling ok today xx

I liked the idea from Penny's NCT class about sticking bullet points to the front of your notes. I think I may well do that so they know about the SPD at least! Other than that I've no massive preferences, you get skin to skin straight away at our hospital anyway apparently if nothing's wrong and I've got my vitamin k consent form packed and ready. ;) I definitely don't want a proper plan, I can see me really losing the plot if it all went array...
 
Glad midwife thinks everything's ok but def keep an eye on it. Hopefully you'll be ok for another couple weeks at least. :)
