Almost set for her arrival (31 weeks)
By Sianny » Posted Nov. 1, 2014 12:15pm - 212 views - 2 comments
Just finished the Halloween bump photo shoot but I have to wait till hubby processes the photos before I can show them off and at the moment hubby is busy building a huge train track with Hunter.
We did get a nice chunk of baby shopping completed today though too, I finally have the outfit I'm finally going to be bringing her home in.
We also picked up a brilliant baby monitor with camera and monitoring mat, we had the same version but without the camera for Hunter and I couldn't imagine going through the first few weeks without it with Thea, especially as we are now no longer in the flat.
Although I am sure it will not replace sitting there watching her breath.
We got a few other nice outfits for newborns, which was bittersweet as this was also the day that we donated all of hunters newborn outfits to Count The Kicks to raise money. Going through those first outfits, even knowing how many days old he was when we dressed him in them, I wish I had the room to keep all of them but we are already bordering on hoarders when it comes to 'mementos'.
We still need a few little bits and pieces but nothing urgent if she were to arrive tomorrow lol!
Thea's movements have completely changed since 28 weeks, she now kicks throughout the day and night with little nap breaks in between. Its a lot more reassuring having her on the go all day although she still prefers to go nuts when I lay down at night. She kicked me so hard last night she nearly winded me.
I braxton through out the day still but nothing painful anymore so I'm looking forward to starting the raspberry leaf tea to get the cervix ripe.
Yesterday I got my Spa Tone apple flavored Iron and Vit C supplement juice (yum...not) and within 48hrs I am already starting to feel less like I am about to suffocate. So pleased and just in time for my 33 week iron test, but if I'm still on the line I will request they let me up the dose to two a day.
Bad side of this is I am now really really uncomfortable, there is a bowling ball ready to fall out of my foofoo, my hips have split a little making them click, I can no longer contain any gas my body produces making public excursions a butt clenching adventure and I'm not sure I have feet anymore as I cannot see them or reach them.
The weeks are going by so fast now, now will she arrive before or after Christmas???
I hope you are all keeping well and tubby x

 | Comment from Sianny » Posted Nov. 2, 2014 1:55am I used it with my son and understood it was for the pushing stage of labour. First stage was over 24hrs gong from 1cm to 5cm and then from 5cm to 10 was under 2hrs and pushing was 4hrs with as you may know a 9lb er without any interventions. I fully believed it worked but I also called down my doses as it made my braxtons really strong in the weeks leading up. The only advice I can give is understand it hurts a lot and try moving around to pass the time so by the time you buckle and ask for am epidural it's too late. |
