Congrats charmed and nanaki.
Cm hope everything works out ok. MrsR I love the name. Cluster feeding is draining. I miss being pregnant as well.

Today is the first day I'm going to venture out alone with all 7. We are heading to the zoo. Hopefully I don't lose anyone and it's not too stressful lol
 
We came home today. All are well. Eddie's still not breastfeeding well so we are on a 2 hour breastfeeding, pumping, and bottle feeding with formula. Here he is!

Loving seeing all the newborn babies :cloud9::cloud9: so delicious!
 
Hey Ladies!
Congrats on all the new arrivals!

My baby didn't wait until October!
My little boy was born on 30th Sept at 39+3. We named him Charlie and are absolutely in love. We're back home now, it still feels a little surreal but all is good! :baby:
 
Aw Eddie is beaut xx

Congrats charmed and craquinette xx

I'm still preggers :coffee:
 
So I've suddenly come over all hormonal and teary. Not sure why. I feel like Harley has already grown so much and he's only 5 days old. I won't be having any more babies so it makes me happy and sad to see both of mine growing so quickly. I'm also feeling a bit sad about how little time I can spend with my DD.

Hope everyone is doing well xxx
 
Congrats craquinette!

This is my last too and I've been very emotional since she has been born. I keep breaking down crying. :(
 
Poor Oliver is a bit jaundiced, so we're staying another night in hospital to pop him into an incubator to see if we can lower his levels. He's such a little soldier. Just had his blood taken & fell asleep on DH. No tears. I'm so sore from delivery still, but that's slowly easing. Managed a shower earlier!! So I'm feeling a little more human :haha: DH has been so great with us both, he's been so helpful & supportive. I am so in love with my little guy, I hope the incubator helps so we can take him home soon. At least he'll be in it in my room, so he'll be with me. This post is all over the place! My mind is frazzled! I can't believe I had a baby! Lol
 
Babies Babies Babies!!! Congratulations ladies!!!!

I seem to be very 'on and off' with my symptoms, more 'off' to be honest, literally people keep saying how i'm probably fed up by now but honestly i'm really not! That's why I think he's not coming anyday soon.

I did have a wobbly half an hour today where the bottom of my bump was doing this weird intense pain gradually and then easing off but soon after I needed to empty my bowels and I never felt it again so I just assumed it was the urge to go.

I just wish I knew what a natural contraction felt like! Sometimes I feel like a ftm but as I was induced I just remember pure and utter pain from the moment I felt my first one.

I can totally relate! Baby no. 4 and I've never experienced a spontaneous contraction! Yesterday at my NST at the hospital I actually had uterine activity on the monitor for the first time, midwife asked if I could feel it which I could but it wasn't painful just coming and going tightening on the front and constant back ache. She said lots of ladies come in with readings lower than mine and are in pain?? I don't think the toco readings are all that accurate though but it was nice to see some of my 'bigger' BHs on paper lol anyway the tightening a kept up all afternoon, even hard to walk through at one point at the supermarket! Then NOTHING! Totally gone! Haha! So strange!

All last night (8am on Sunday 4th here), I kept dreaming my waters broke or I was having contractions so I'd wake up to check and nothing:dohh::haha:
 
Lucy, I was contracting and didn't even realise it! I had period pains all day & turns out that was contractions! I went in to be induced & was already at 3cm :haha: Don't lose hope xx
 
Aliop, my toco readings were in the 60's when I was admitted on Weds & my contractions were going into the 70's. Apparently the number itself isn't what they use, but the pattern of the tightenings. Normally my numbers are lower, it can depend a lot on how your lying etc. My natural contractions weren't that bad & mostly felt like an IBS attack :haha: I was having regular contractions after they broke my waters, every 1-2 mins apart & they just felt like period pains that would come & go. Not really too painful at all! The MW was amazed I was 3cm already, then 5cm 2 hours later as they weren't that bad at all. The hormone drip was another matter. I hate that they forced me to have it in the end!

Oliver is just settled in his incubator after his first night feed. The mws are being weird with me because of how long he feeds for (this feed was 1hr45mins). They're talking about giving him some breast & then topping up with formula, but I'm not really sure why?? The paediatrician was happy for me to exclusively breastfeed, and that was after I explained he might be out of the incubator for at least 2hrs! During the day, he feeds for 30mins-1hr & can then sleep solidly for 4hrs!

Anyway, I'm rabbiting on. Lol. I need to start a parenting journal! Maybe when I get home. I ought to get some sleep soon, next feed in 2hrs! Only 11hrs until DH is allowed back on the ward.
 
Im trying out this nipple stimulation thing, see if it will send me into labour lol im trying to convince dh to dtd but hes super tired from working all day so it isnt looking likely
