are there any february babies still locked up tight lol

[rccresswell]

Hi all
  
I have just under 4 weeks to go.  I have started taking rasphberry leaf tea and a pre bith spray you get from New Zealand.  My baby is low and I get the odd electric shock up my hoohaaa but they are short which only tells me I am still a few weeks off.  I also have a dull ache feeling in my lower back with every braxton hicks and I am getting very crampy.  I know I am at least two weeks away if not more but I just wanted to moan about how I am feeling so I can see if everyone else is as miserable as me lol

I have realised having an almost 4 year old and almost 2 year old doesn't help :).  I have also been feeling very constipated at times and my doctor gave me a laxative which really did NOTHING so now I am thinking it is baby's head bouncing on my bowels lol.

Please share your pain so I feel like I am not alone :)

I can't believe I made it to my scheduled delivery date! After so many February mommies delivering in January, I started to wonder how long I'd last but this baby hasn't turned or dropped nor have I had contractions or any indication of early delivery. Kind of makes me wonder how long I'd go if I weren't scheduled for tomorrow morning. Can't wait to join the mommy club in the morning. What a sweet Valentine's gift!

i cant believe i have only 17 days left til my due date even thou this little one is most likely coming before that. i am hoping i can hold out til at least after the 14th but i have been having tons of pressure and contractions. i see the dr on the 8th and he is gonna check to see how far i have dilated since the last time. i am just so tired lately and have terrible headaches.

I know this might sound weird but I'm relieved to hear other women going through the pelvic pain.  It started last week and it hurts to do anything.  Anyone else experience sore heels during their pregnancy?  Mine have been killing me since December, no idea why.  I planned on working until I deliver but everything aches just sitting in the chair at the office so we'll see.  This little one can't come soon enough, I just hope I don't end up with a broken vagina like I'm been reading about lol.

[SunWorshiper_26]

Awe little red I'm so sorry :( sending hugs your way!!

[LittleRed83]

Oh that's kind of releiving to know that she will move around. Yah my back is kiiiiiling me. I just got back from the hospital, I'm contracting every 3 min but NO dilation!! So now I'm home in quite a lot of pain and since I'm not 37 weeks till monday they won't do anything to assist in labor. I'm one grumpy momma right now. Lol.

[rccresswell]

If I think I am right witht he oplique position my baby is op as well.  I guess that is why my back is killing me at the momemt.  I keep thinking oh my gosh if this is back labour I give up it is that painful.  I have tried turning baby by sleeping on my side but that is making me just as uncomfortable so if I have a difficult birth I don't care anymore lol.

I still have 3 and a half weeks left and my doctor said he/she should turn by then and since I have already laboured with one like that this one shouldn't be any different.

[LittleRed83]

I'm still hanging there too. But I'm headed to docs riht now. They wanna check me since I'm having contractions every 10 min and not quite 37 weeks yet. Tuesday I wasn't dilated so we will see. But yah my back hurts always and sleeping is sooo uncomfortable. I've also been getting bad headaches but blood pressure is ok. And definatly experiencing the shooting pains in my hoohaa!! Not fun at all. Also my little girl measuring almost 2 weeks ahead. She's gonna be big. I also found out she's in the oblique position. Anyones have an onlique or transverse baby right now? I'm not due till feb 28th, so hopefully she sits better as I get closer to delivery. Good luck to you all :)

[SunWorshiper_26]

Wow everyone is getting SO close to meeting baby :D. I am so excited for everyone!!

[rccresswell]

LoL!!!!  Oh I am so glad my pains are normal lol except I think mine might be a bit trivial compared with everyone else.  I am getting excited about meeting my little boy or girl - we don't know what we are having but I am pretty sure it is a girl :)

I still have 3 and a half weeks to go and counting down :)

[trying43]

Still pg till the 16th at the latest!!!  I already have hip problems and they are about 100 times worse right now.  I was stitched up with both my boys so I know how bad that is, 4th degree episiotomy with 1st 2nd degree with second but wasnt too bad.  I had that same deal today where my little girl had her butt right in the center of my ribs, looked weird and was rather painful.  Sun, cluster feeding is fun right????!!!lol My first son had many episodes of that! We are almost there ladies and it will all be so worth it!! And I am a rambly scatter brain today in case u couldnt tell,lol

[wannabeamommy0124]

my baby is still in me!! lol!! and for some reason i have many of the same complaints majikat has and we are both being induced on the 7th :D so yayyy only 4 more days and a wake up :D

my pelvis feels like its going to break eveytime i take a step... i get horribly painful electric shocks up my hoohaa too.. they last about a minute but i dont get them very often...
i have to sleep sitting up because my back hurts so bad and i get really bad heartburn at night...  
my little girl doenst stop moving and getting stuck in my ribcage and that isnt fun either!!
my sinuses are as congested as they could ever be so i end up breathing through my mouth all night long and wake up with a terrible sore throat...

but all in all, i am ok and more than ready to meet my princess :D

My February baby is still locked up tight  :-)  Scheduled for c-section on the 14th. My most recent exam showed no movement in my cervix and all is well. I feel great though. No pain. Only issue is baby being fully breech. He tries to turn every night and gets halfway and stops. I wake with his head poking out of my side and it's quite uncomfortable and I can barely move, but by morning baby is right back to sitting up straight. Apparently the full turn isn't going to happen.

the broken vagina is terrible... I had over an hour of stitching done with my first lol he was vacuumed out.... it hurt for quite a while.... although he froze my vagina before the stitches  my second flew out without doing any damage at all he was a 9 pounder lol im hoping that this one takes it easy on the vagina too :)

my pelvic bone feels very very broken.... my back is still killing... i am starting to get a stretch mark above my belly ring... thank god my stretch mark cream is really helping... still have to sleep sitting up Fing heart burn is a killer.... only 4 more night of it yay! im sure there are many more complaints I have but my placenta brain keeps me from remembering lol

[SunWorshiper_26]

Same here I kept saying I can feel that!!  At one point threatened to kick the OB in the head lol. Get some good sleep now while you can. I've been up every hour with Ellie all night while she cluster feeds :P

[rccresswell]

lol gosh that brings back a lot of memories!!!!  I ripped with my first baby which kind of sucked but when they stitched me up they didn't put the anaesthetic EVERYWHERE so when they were doing it I was like ummhhhhhh I can feel it!!!!!!!!  Very, very painful and having to have a shower everytime you went toilet was a pain as well.

Thank you so much!!!!  That makes me feel heaps better lol

[SunWorshiper_26]

My vagina is broken and all stitched up and i haven't slept more than two hours at a time in 20 days...  :( it's not an ache but the broken vagina thing is a pain..
