October/November Conkers 2021***

Oh ladies I'm a bit bummed and worried.
See consultant and thankfully he has given me some tablets for the reflux and more piriton and cream for the itching.
The itching has not been to bad lately.

As for induction I will not get a date untill I'm 36+4 days

He said ideally he wants me to get to 38 weeks because even tho 37 weeks is classed as term its still classed as early term' and some babys lungs may not be fully mature and will need to go scbu.
I told him all my worries and how bad everything has been and he said if I'm still having all these symptoms when I see him next then he will do it at 37 weeks but if the medication he has given me helps and things calm down he said it will be 38 weeks.

Originally he wanted me to see him again on 28th August and also move my growth scan to that day.
But there fully booked and I cudnt be booked in untill 1st September at 36+4 weeks.
My scan is also that day.

Thing is I'm so worried now that they're leaving it so late that they will get all booked up in delivery and I won't be able to get in at 37 weeks' and will end up being pushed to 38.

So I'm feeling a little down. I definitely don't want to go to 38 weeks

Today has been another rollarcoaster! Had a bit of spotting last night lost a big bit of mucus plug this morn and more smaller bits today.

had an internal by on call doc when I was up for ctg today abs she doesn’t seem concerned about it and ctg was ok.

have my consultant appt tomoz so I’m worrying about that and what she might suggest the next plan of action is, all I know is I can’t go on like this with the refunded movements, loosing my plug has just been the icing on the cake xx

 

[Weemcb26]

Reduced movements not refunded lol

 

[Penguin20]

@Suggerhoney Sorry you didn’t get your confirmed induction date, fingers crossed you get the 37 weeks you really want

@Weemcb26 Im so sorry your going through all this worry and stress the moment, hopefully all will plan out and things start going smoothly again with regular movements

Hay hon I lost my whole mukas plug at 34 weeks with my son. I had the bloody show to.
I was also having contractions that kept starting and going on for 24 hours and then stopping.
It happened at 29 33+6 35 and 36 weeks..
Everyone thought I was gonna have him early but I still made it to my induction at 37 weeks and needed the passery because my cervix was only 1cm and need to shorten more.
I rekon he wud Still be in there now if he had the chance.

I also lost alot of plug at 33 weeks with our eldest and i didn't go into labour untill 40 weeks.

The mukas plug can grow back so try not to worry..
Sorry ure having a hard time.
Hugs

I hate when days feel like they are dragging when you just want it to go quick, I got midwife beginning of September and I haven’t seen her since 16 weeks and feels like it’s been ages and still few weeks to go

 

[Suggerhoney]

Anyway on a brighter note. I've packed me hospital bags yay.
I had to pack alot because I'm gonna be staying in for about a week after birth.
I don't normally pack them untill 34 weeks but just wanted to get it out the way and so glad I have.




Also took some bump pics.
Here's me at 33 weeks with Tommy and me today at 32+4 weeks.


Also did some bare bump pics. But please excuse the skin.

Oh me too hon. Oh gosh that is ages. I saw my midwife at 8 weeks and then didn't see her again untill I was 25 weeks was crazy.
Also cud of sworn at the stage I'm at now consultant appointments are normally every 2 weeks. But I'm not seeing him again for 4 weeks. Should be seeing the midwife soon tho so thet breaks it up.
I feel like time is dragging so much now.

 

[Catmumof4]

Yes I’ve got at least 10 more weeks but likely 12 and I can’t imagine every day being like this and me not breaking down. Hopefully there are some good days in there to keep us going. At least I know I absolutely cannot be pregnant again after this one is done.

It is soo hard isn't it. Mother nature seriously screwed up making us go 40 weeks instead of 30 lol x

@topazicatzbet lovely bump!!

 

[Catmumof4]

@Suggerhoney I'm so sorry you didn't get your date, it is pushing it a bit!! Your bump is looking lovely

So I'm currently in hospital with dehydration, pain and can't stop throwing up!! 2 lots of different anti sickness medications something will work soon I hope Lol!! Also been told I'm on the cusp of being diagnosed with icp my levels were 12 and alt raised aswell got to have more bloods fri to confirm diagnosis so looking like definitely 37 weeks for me x

So I'm feeling a little down. I definitely don't want to go to 38 weeks

Oh my that’s disappointing. I can only hope that last week won’t be too hard on you because you’re right, they likely won’t have a spot for you to get induced even if you’re suffering very badly but at least at that point if you have a date for induction it might be easier to make it through knowing exactly when you’ll be able to go in.

 

[Reiko_ctu]

Had a call with the diabetes dr and although she was lovely and understanding, tbh I’m
Just annoyed with having someone look over my shoulder at my numbers. I have to have a call with them again in 3 weeks and then who knows how often after that. I’m really really hoping I can keep my sugars down for at least 9 more weeks and then I can likely avoid going on insulin and still be allowed to birth at home. I’m not stuck on it at all tbh but I hate to be told I’m not eligible XD

 

[Weemcb26]

I had an incline that it could grow up I just didnt expect it this early! I’m reaching a point where I’m just not feeling confident that he’s ok in there but also know he wouldn’t really be ok if he was out ither. It’s like some game of hellish limbo

 

[Suggerhoney]

@Suggerhoney I'm so sorry you didn't get your date, it is pushing it a bit!! Your bump is looking lovely

I'm still gonna push for 37 weeks I don't care I refuse to go any further. So when I see him I'm gonna tell him I feel awful even it I don't. I just can't cope going to 38 weeks.
My bile levels got 13 hon and then went back down to 8. If my itching flairs again which it probably will I'm gonna call the Day Assessment Unit and get more bloods. Can't believe I'm not seeing a consultant again for another 4 weeks.
I was told that no one gets a date untill 36 weeks as well hon and tbh I was 36 weeks when I got my induction date with Tommy. I was actually 36+2 and got my date for 37+2 but ended up in the day assessment unit because of the itching and a different consultant i saw there brought my induction date forward to 37 weeks. So it my itching flairs up hoping that will happen again. So sorry ure in hospital hon. I really hope u feel better soon and can go back home.

Oh my that’s disappointing. I can only hope that last week won’t be too hard on you because you’re right, they likely won’t have a spot for you to get induced even if you’re suffering very badly but at least at that point if you have a date for induction it might be easier to make it through knowing exactly when you’ll be able to go in.

It's OK hon I've found out they always keep a few or the delivery rooms free for emergencies and the high risk ladies (I'm very high risk)
Literally everyone I've spoken to on here and also my consultant said no one gets induction dates or elective c section dates untill 36 weeks.
And I was 36+2 with my son when I got my induction date with him and they booked me in for 37+2 but I ended up being brought forward to 37 weeks.

A lady on here that's also from the UK said she saw her consultant at 36+6 weeks and they booked her in for induction the very next day so hopefully with me being so high risk it won't be a problem.
Just shit I have to wait another 4 weeks for a date but everyone has to wait untill 36 weeks unless it's a emergency.

I really can not bare to go any further than 37 weeks so when I see him I'm gonna tell him I'm still itching and still getting all the horrible symptoms even if I'm not. But I expect I will still have these symptoms.
My itching has calmed down a bit. But it does this and then it will flair right up again.
I give it a week or at a push 2 and I will be itching like crazy.
Even though my bile levels are normol and I'm not diognosed with ICP I'm still not gonna stand for being pushed to 38 weeks.
I mean I've had a liver transplant and all my organs are being pushed right up surely that's not good.

I'm just so disappointed i didn't get a date today. Feel like I've been waiting ages for this.
I cud of had one the 28th August if they wasn't all booked up. Sucks I have to wait now untill September 1st.

Ugh it’s such a tricky thing isn’t it. You want to keep them safe and growing but you just don’t know what’s going on in there at all unless you’re having regular scans! Are they sending you off now or will they have you back in again frequently?

 

[sil]

Hi ladies! V day for me today. I had my 24 week growth scan. At 20 weeks baby was measuring in 13th percentile. Now at 24 weeks she has dropped to the 4th percentile and is measuring only 1 lb 2 oz. I am being referred out to an MFM specialist to follow both the growth, possible IGUR, and the velamentous cord insertion. I’ll need non stress tests weekly when I hit 34 weeks and will likely be induced. Fingers crossed she keeps growing - sometimes the velamentous cord can cause growth restriction and I really hope she cooks quite awhile longer.

 

[playgirl666]

That's odd, when I was having maze I got my date at 34 weeks and I will get my date at 34 weeks again this time, maybe it varies from hospital to hospital xx

As far as I’m aware it’s daily ctgs until I’m feeling regular movements but they have brought my consult appt 4 weeks to tomorrow so when I left day care today they haven’t given me a time to go back as seeing consultant first thing so they said to let her decide plan of action! If I was 38 weeks I’d be asking to get him out it’s just such a early stage at 28 weeks to be even thinking along those lines! My head is pickled xx

 

[Mummy2Corban]

@sadeyedlady yes I’m feeling you on feeling punched! We usually have sex at bedtime so I’m glad that I get to go sleep! After we have finished and I have a wee and a wash it’s painful.

@playgirl666 how are you feeling hun? I’m sorry your feeling this way. When ever I e taken iron tablets they’ve made me sick so I’ve always gone with liquid iron.

@topazicatzbet what a lovely bump!
