Bit freaked out today. not long home from a very long day with the hospital. Had a scan, baby is doing well. 34 weeks and 5 pounds already
placenta still very low. Only 7mm from my cervix, it could move but very unlikely. have to go back in 2 weeks and they will give me a date then, getting slightly impatient now. I just want to know what is happening.
doctor told me to up my iron, they will be trying more for a section but the position is awkward and I could need a transfusion if I don't look after my iron now, so that's one hell of a motivator!
also told me to have my bag ready, he doesn't think I'll go to term. so going sorting that in the morning too. equal parts scared and comforted now oddly. knowing he/she is 5 pounds means it's a strong little thing but it's all a bit scary.
overall i feel great, no swelling, just a little heartburn, easily lived through small bit of backache after today but overall very good 0 -

That's great that the baby is doing well! I dream of the doc telling me i could go any minute ha!
That's a good motivator alright to make sure your iron is ok! Had it been low all along, or was it new to hear? So you could have your baby sooner than you think? That's exciting! do youthink you're ready, minus the bag? 0 -

The iron is okay at the moment, they just want me to increase it just in case. They want me to look after myself, and I have done very well so far, no puffiness this time, I bloated so badly last time! I looked terrible, this time I have done great
healthier eating and loads of walking I am going to put it down to
I feel like I have nothing done, I really need to cop on, I was hoping this appointment would be the kick in the butt I needed, so tomorrow I will force myself to get it sorted. Overall I am fairly organised, I have my son prepared but with myself, I feel I am not really mentally ready which is a little scary, I am waiting for it to hit, I really hope it happens soon :eek:0 -

Glad you enjoyed it wolfpawnat! Was he good? Did you stand at the edge of the crowd?0 -

A friend knew a guy working security in the seated area so he let us in:D No one said anything then because of my huge bump. I knew this child would have it's uses kidding btw!!!!
It was great, music was good and people were great about giving me space. I think they were shocked when I didn't use the "I'm pregnant" excuse for the bathrooms, but rarely have I ever seen a pregnant woman actually say it. My ankles got a bit swollen last night, but I just went to bed with no socks on and relaxed and all normal again today! Now I am getting ready to steal back my little man. I haven't seen him since Thursday!!!!0 -

Haha that's great I've never been to slane, was the seating close to the stage?
I haven't used the excuse yet, although I haven't had to queue much! How are your ankkes now?
My favourite band are playing paris, leeds n london, if they'd come to Dublin, I'd be first in the queue :P0 -
Fairly close. I was near the castle itself and I could see and hear everything well. Slane is a natural amphitheatre shape so it lends itself well to concerts.Haha that's great I've never been to slane, was the seating close to the stage?

The ankles seem completely normal now so I am going to take it easy and keep an eye on them.0 -

Sounds great killers are playing phoenix park on the 13th july, my original due date, wish I was brave enough to risk it haha!
Have you any plans for father's day?
To get our little guy back from nana is the only plan so far, getting novelty pressies for daddy in town too while collecting him since daddy has decided he wants to enjoy the GAA for father's day. I have tickets to the GAA in Thurles for him for next week too, since that's when his team is playing so that will have to do him
There's a lot of music on in the Phoenix park this summer. I read of one mother going to a rock gig 4 days overdue!0 -
Hello ladies, I hope you don't mind me jumping on board here
I've been reading the thread after just searching for July 2013 babies. I'm due 28th July with baby number one, can't wait! Have next midwife appt this Thursday and scan too ( my placenta is slightly low) so fingers crossed it has risen with the huge growth spurt baby has had in there lol. We don't know what sex baby is, all I know is I have a mini martial artist in there with the rolls & kicks! Hope you are all feeling well and don't mind me crashing the party..! 0 -

You're not crashing Welcome and glad you are joining us. I am nearly the exact same as you, though due three days earlier (25th), low placenta and little martial artist too. 0 -
Phew, I have my hospital bags packed now but I'm still missing a few things and won't be able to add things like the hair dryer and make up bag until the last minute. I think I'm gonna ban pictures from the face up after I have baby in the hospital lol! I only managed to fit about 10 nappies into the bag. I hope that's enough. I also forgot that I had a bag of freebies from the Baby and Pregnancy Fair so nicked mini sudocrems and a baby towel from it. Everything is slowly coming together. Exciting stuff for us all 0

my bump has dropped significantly in the last week or two. He/she is causing me to waddle ridiculously and is pressing on my hips constantly. It's sore but a sign we are getting close.
I am getting weird looks daily when people ask me what I'm having and I tell them I don't know. I think everyone is finding out these days. I got a text last night from a friend telling me what she is having in October. I thought it was normal enough to not find out, I feel like the only woman who doesn't know now.0 -
Hi All,
36 weeks for me today! :eek: I am counting down the days at this point!
Have had a mad few weeks, we moved house which was exhausting even though I didn't lift a finger! Picked up the pram, moses basket, etc. Everything is set up in the room now! Makes is very, very real!
Have my bags half packed but I intend on finishing them this week. Never know when this little one might decide to arrive so Id rather be safe than sorry!
2 and half weeks left in work! Im finding the walking to and from the train station is a killer so really looking forward to finishing. Would love to finish early but unless medically advised that wont be happening!
Hope everyone else is doing good
Nikkibikki - cant believe you'll have your babies in your arms so soon! Hope everything goes well for you 0 -
