I'm 33+2 now, I'm not bothered about his weight, it's the excess fluid around him I'm worrying about as it can cause problems during labour when your waters break & it can be caused by undiagnosed abnormalities what ultrasounds can't pick up, my app is tomorrow. x

Lush lash I hope you're ok. I was diagnosed with polyhydramnios with my first pregnancy. I was monitored during labour (I also had something called cholestasis so they had me hooked up to the monitor thing my whole labour to keep an eye on baby) and I now have a very healthy 2 year old. I didn't have any complications from the polyhydramnios but I couldn't believe how much water there was when my waters broke. You will be fine hun and at least they know about it so they can keep an eye on you. My wee man was 9lbs4oz so not totally massive either

My daughter had polyhydrathingy with her daughter, she was told she was going to be a massive baby and likely to be over 10lbs (she was only born 3lb 14z herself), she had fortnightly scans and grew bigger than my sister who was carrying twins.. My daughter measured 78 all the way around at 37wks and far bigger than the 37 over the bump that she should have been.

When her waters were popped in hospital she soaked the midwives armpit due to it shooting out with force, she filled the midwives glove too and saturated her bed, the floor, and the conti sheets needed 8 changes.

We were warned the labour could be a hard one due to the amount of water, baby was back to back too ... It was a normal length build up, an hour of being 10cmandnot allowed to push to allow this massive baby to descend herself..
When her head started coming out all hell broke loose and a crash trolley, docs, specialist nurses etc were rushed in as her head was tiny, they assumed she had a medical growth condition due to her large expected weight and very tiny head!!

A teeny weeny 5lb 10oz baby shot out!!!!

Well hello massive monster, my aren't you.... Small!!!!

We were told the amount of fluid she had had distorted the scan views and messed with the measurements.

These professionals aren't always right

Hi ladies, thank you for your concern, & stories.

I have to have another growth scan & amniotic fluid index check this week (it will be a fortnight since last growth scan) I then will see the consultant afterwards to discuss the results, he said if my fluid increases then he will possibly look at induction at 38 weeks although he would want to do another scan at around 38 weeks aswell, I have also had a repeat diabetes test done today although the one I had 6 weeks ago came back fine the dr wanted it re checking.

He said he isn't concerned about a birth defect because my 20 week scan was normal & I also paid for a 4d scan privately at 29 weeks & that included a fetal well being check & the baby looked fine then also, so he isn't concerned that the extra fluid is because of a problem with my son.

I'm at the midwife Tuesday to do my birth plan (can't quite believe I'm at 34 weeks tomorrow already!) so will have a chat with the midwife & ask her about how women's labours usually pan out when they have polyhydramnios, she's been a midwife years so I'm sure she has come in contact with women in labour with it before now.

The consultant did explain the risks during labour & I am scared about it but there's not much I can do about it all really other than hope he is ok x

Aw Lush Lash thanks for posting, I was holding my breath reading that.

Good steps forward for you and baby. Try not to worry too much, it sounds like you're being well looked after.

Good luck and not much longer now my lovely. After reading your posts over time about becoming pregnant, I'm just so pleased for you. xxx

Well this should be one of the busiest work days of the year, but it's my due date! so here I am sitting watching mickeys once upon a Christmas with my girl. We've been to see Santa and had tea and cake, played snakes and ladders and am now resting.

Getting fed up, Christmas now seems very close! And slightly bored with all the random strangers who keep telling me to go for a long walk or have lots of sex!!

Hurry up baby!!

 

[Delish]

38 weeks yesterday and thankfully baby has turned head down by himself so we didn't need to have him turned, phew! So ready for him to arrive now, really hoping he won't be late I dont want to still be preggers for Christmas. Plus I've bought him a reindeer outfit... :0)

Is he here yet? Xx
