2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

Hey Tally congratulations ! My little boy shares the same birthday as yours... hehehe ...

Little Theodore was born at home yesterday lunchtime and is as healthy as can be. We are all so happy and content with everything that happened and for the wonderful midwife team that helped us through a very interesting week lol...

Thank you to God for this wonderful miracle.
 
Aw all these little october babies are so sweet! Congratulations ladies. Those who are still waiting, I hope your LO's come soon!
 
Congratulations ladies beautiful babies :cloud9:

My last day working in the office today and I cannot wait to be working from home I am so uncomfortable now :wacko:
I had a midwife appointment today and baby is head down no longer 'free' but not engaged either - jeez making walking painful I feel like my pelvis is splitting :(
 
Congrats to all the new mummies. I'm counting down to starting Mat leave - 2 more work days!
 
Congratulations to everyone on their new babies! So exciting!

I'm getting induced tomorrow night if nothing happens before then. I'm really looking forward to meeting my little one
 
Congrats new moms!!

I'm still waiting... I had to run errands with dh today, and went for monitoring. Baby's fine, no sign of anything. I can barely walk these days...
 
Congratulations Chrissi!! Theodore is one of our top choices for this little one, just waiting to see him and decide if that's his name or not.

Spent the day yesterday in maternity after my usual OB appointment and having very high BP and low fluid they decided they needed to admit me. Got sent down for an in-depth ultrasound (my OB does a quick one each visit) and fluid pockets around baby are within normal limits -just! BP came down and stayed down through the day (think being away from the MIL was the greatest help lol) and I was allowed to go home at about 6pm after my bloodwork came back and declared excellent:thumbup: I have to go in for another NST on Thursday.

I had an awesome ultrasound technician who took a look at my cervix and said it was long, closed and 'sorry not looking like it is ready for action yet' lol so that was nice to know it is still just a waiting game. Funnily enough DH and I did the deed last night and I've been having what I assume is a bloody show all morning (TMI sorry!), I have read you can be checked one day and go into spontaneous labour the next which is why I have declined VE's as they seem rather pointless :shrug:

Anyway, hope everyone else is ticking along nicely, either pregnant or enjoying their new additions :flower::flower:

Glad to hear you and babe are doing ok.. One of these days our babes will show up!
 
I've had a lovely day at home by myself today, hubby works today tomorrow and fri 12 hour day shifts and with ds at school I took the opportunity to get something done that's been bothering me - The OVEN! Bloody hate cleaning it but to be fair using one of those oven kits really got the burnt on grime off and now its like new again!

Hoovered and moped the floors so i'm feeling better about the house in general. Last thing i's want is to go into labour and either come home to a mess or worse, come home and have visitors, I hate a messy house!!!

Just got back from picking up ds and although I've been active all day and bending a lot, actually walking is another story!

I've lost more plug today but apart from that no more symptoms, he will come when he's ready I guess!!!
 
Hi Ladies,

Well... my EDD has come and gone! My LO is far too comfortable in there!

I had an OBGYN appointment yesterday and I'm only 1cm dilated...but my cervix is extremely soft and baby is very, very low. The doctor did a sweep and we talked about my options. If LO doesn't come on his own, we will proceed with an induction next week. I really, really, reallllllyyyy hope it doesn't come to that. Especially since my doctor will be away for two weeks! Meaning, she won't be be delivering my baby.

To prevent that, I've been walking lots. Bouncing on a birthing ball. And talking to my LO, convincing him to come out. hahahah!

How is everyone else?

How are the new mamas?
 
Hope87 I hope that things get moving for you soon so your doctor can deliver the baby, it would be a shame if that can't happen.
 
Hope87 I hope things move along soon.
Afm I can't believe how fast time is going by. Nathan is 4 weeks old tomorrow.
 
Still here with baby very happily tucked up inside! This one is so different from my others, he is trying to teach me patience already LOL perhaps he will be my terror haha!

My OB didn't book me anymore appointments after my 40 week one as she didn't think I'd need it, feels weird not having anything booked and still being pregnant.

I got woken by some quite intense tightenings throughout the early hours of the morning, little niggly tightenings this morning especially as I walked my big boy to the bus stop but doesn't feel like I'd imagine actual labour starting would feel like?? :shrug:
 
Twag & WW1, I hope you enjoy the start of your leave
Nice work Lucylu! I hate cleaning the oven. I had a big day of final cleaning yesterday. Glad everything is sorted now before we go in.
Good luck Hope & Aliop!
3boys, I can't believe it's been a month!

AFM, I've been losing plug, lots of BH, and getting admitted today to start induction. I'm really looking forward to meeting my little one!
 
Hopefully things get moving along for you ladies still patiently waiting for your lo's arrival.

AFM- I'm 8 days PP and am so stressed about having another PPH. I hemorrhaged 8 hours after my 2nd sons birth. I never got answers as to why. So now it's all I can think about. My PP bleeding slowed down a ton at day 6 but then day 7 (yesterday) it picked up again. My tummy just feels weird. ..and I've had some more cramping. Pph is all I can think about. :(
 
I hope babies start arriving soon for you ladies!

Oliver is 1 week old & I can't believe it. I'm up atm doing the feeds. He cluster feeds so it means very little sleep. DH has been complaining of being sleep deprived so he's asleep on the sofa while I see to Oliver all night. Roll on 8am! He won't settle off me so is currently attached to my arm. I'm so tired.
