Dublinlady if you're anxious about ringing the hospital, maybe you're as well leaving the appointments as they are? it might cause more fuss for them to change the dates again plus at least you'll get to see baby sooner (if they're scanning).
I think you're right within reason to request more or else additional appointments where you feel the need. It would be worse to have concerns and regret not having spoken up about being seen to.
If they thought there was definitely no need to see you earlier, they would've told you I think (unless you're a scarey mamma when you're pregnant
)
Javagal according to this link 18-24 weeks you can find out sex.
Ivy you're probably right not to watch programmes like that now alright. I remember watching a birth on you tube (medical tutorial, not someone's home video
) before I had my daughter and I was shook for a few days after it!
I had to keep reminding myself that i wouldn't be down the business end of things at any point during the labour
I don't mind the thoughts of it now, though I was lucky enough to have a fast birth (crossing fingers and toes for same this time!).
Wmpdd3, that's amazing that your daughter didn't cry for 48 hours :eek: my daughter didn't cry immediately and there was a flash of terror as in all the good films they give a good scream the minute they come out.
They brought her straight over to me though and that calmed me (and set her off crying

Got bored today so I packed my hospital bags, yes bags, I've split them into three separate bags to try to avoid having to hire a moving truck to bring everything I've packed:D:p
The only things still to put in is the likes of snacks, water, phone charger etc. I will put those in until the last minute.
I've clearly labelled each one for my OH so hopefully it's all fool proof but we'll what and see
With the Domino Scheme ( and providing everything goes well) you get to go home after 12 hours so I'm sure I won't need everything I've packed but sure it's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it to quote my mother
Antenetal Class are starting next week, things are starting to feel v.real now :eek:0 -

Congratulations Red Fraggle's husband! Hope mum and baby are both doing well, congrats also to your sister.
So lovely having both babies so close in age
Ms2011 I packed mine at 30 weeks last time......here's the sad bit, I had a typed out checklist of what was included anal much?
That's brill that you're on the domino scheme, I'm praying I'll be out of hospital asap this times, I got no sleep in hospital last time!
A good suggestion I read was to pack capri sun or similar, it gets roasting hot in the hospital at times and was great for during the night when you couldn't otherwise get a drink.
Oooh itching to pack my bag now 0 -

I'm very anal so! I compiled a list of things to get for the baby, based on the suggested list from the clinic, plus the thread on this forum...divided it by categories (labour ward bag, maternity bag, clothes, furniture, pharmacy etc). Ticked off things as I bought them. I now have everything bar a moses basket and button-down nighties for me for breastfeeding...I just have to pack my two hospital bags and I'm all set...
I know it sounds a bit much. But actually I need to do it, because I am naturally so incredibly disorganised, that if I don't force myself to make checklists and such, I end up forgetting everything, or buying things twice or the wrong things!0 -
its me!! im home with my little bundle of joy. cant believe she came early. bit of a shock but a lovely one. soooooo glad its over! i will post in the birth stories soon as i can. no pain relief and went from 5cm to 10 cm in an hour!!
hope everyone is doin well!! 0 -

Red fraggle, great to hear you're home and doing well
Ivy the terrible, I'm glad we're not alone with our list making so I'm sad, I love lists and being all organised. Though you wouldn't think that if you could see the evident lack of house work that has gone on in this house this weekend
Pippington I get the same sometimes if baby is kicking one side more than another. Towards the end of my last pregnancy I was convinced I must be black and blue inside from all the kicking my little girl gave me 0 -

I Thought that was too long before being back to hosp..., I lost one twin at 9 weeks and the thought of not getting properly checked again for a month freaked me out completely. They then changed me to 34+4 gp and 35+4 hosp.... I think I'm being unreasonable - I think I'll change gp to 35+4 and hosp to 36+4... A compromise. I think I just panicked about sonething going wrong... Is that the right thing to do do ya think? I mean there's nothing wrong at all now with this baby, right size, movement galore, everything! I think I over reacted... I'll be embarassed phoning them tom, but better that than waste their time!
You're a concerned mum to be.. it's ok to panic I was so laid back on my last one.. he is my 4th so there were one or 2 appointments that i put off for a week or 2.. once everything is ok i wouldn't worry.. if there are any problems then you can always phone or go to the hospital.. not long now anyway . .;) 0 -

Awww I just came in to check on you! Can't believe she's finally here! I feel like we've been with you every step of the way
Congratulations to you both and welcome little Emily (gorgeous name) xx0 -

Yup - changed my appt to a week further - I'll be 36 & 4 then which is grand! Don't want them thinking I'm precious
Think I just panicked as even though I knew I was 34 weeks it suddenly occurred to me that labour is only around the corner and more importantly a real actual baby will be coming home with ME!!! Hehe! Really thought I had gotten my head around that after 34 weeks of pregnancy and almost 2 yrs of trying!!! Feel better about it now - thanks for the perspective - its lovely to have somewhere to come to make sure I'm in check!! 0 -

Cat Melodeon & Red Fraggle, just read both of your birth stories. Very well written both, makes me so excited about the thoughts of labour (I know, sadist or what) just the thoughts of meeting this little person. Roll on April/May
Welcome on board Mrs. Seorg
Quins5 next in line, so exciting! I hate people that ask this.........but anything stirring??:D 0 -
Huge Congrats red fraggle, your birth story was very reassuring to read
Cap, Ivy I love lists too, I have my hospital bag list typed out since I was 6 weeks pregnant, how anal is that ha
I'm feeling kinda lonely on the EDD list, I seem to be the only one in March

Well Im still here, EDD today.
Had check up at the hospital this morning, met the midwife, she checked Bp and urine etc. Bp was thru the roof! So she said Lets do that again cos I felt completely fine... 2nd time it had dropped ever so slightly so she said 'right Im not going to talk to you now for 5 minutes and I want you to think happy thoughts' I was like yippppeeeee Here we go, This is my ticket in!!!
No such luck. 3rd time lucky Bp was perfect!
Then met the Consultant, she had a good poke around the outside and scanned etc, baby was happy out swimming away in plenty of fluid so after a brief internal she said come back next week for induction if nothing happens in the meantime.
So here I am, waiting.
C'mon Bumpy, I cant wait to meet you!!! 0 -

Welcome Nix84, Kash & Javagal
Quins5 ah no I'd say you were disappointed when they sent you home, especially when the bp made you think they might keep you in.
Hopefully it won't be too long now x
wmpdd3, I thought they had fixed the queueing system in the hospital so you're not waiting ages anymore? maybe I was lucky last time, in and out of the place in 45 mins.
I had hoped for the same for my next appt (Monday), wont get my hopes up too much so!0 -

Thank god I got a kindle over Christmas. It was brilliant at my last ante natal to slip it into the handbag instead of a massive book or magazine that lasts 10 mins! Himself has Angry Birds, Flight Control and Pool Games on his phone so he was sorted too.0 -

I'm dying to hear so many of you are getting so close it really is the most amazing thing in the world to hold your baby for the 1st time, being a Mum had Absolutley completed me it's the best job in the world, hope your labours are quick ladies!

My midwife said (and I quote) "When you get a show, you can think "YES!" the baby will arrive in the next week". Hopefully your little one will show up sooner!0
