I had my son October 7 at 8 pm. I ended up with an induction and almost 24 labor. I pushed him out in 15 mins. GL everyone who hasn't delivered yet and congrats to those who have.
We are still at the hospital recovering. He's feeding great!

Congrats! Have a great return home with LO!

 

[Aliop]

Congratulations nmpjcp2015!!

onebumpplease, so glad all is well with Michael! My niece had a floppy larynx and made a wheezy sound when she was asleep, I think it just corrected it self?? Hope you manage to relax again, must of been awfully scary!

I am STILL pregnant!! all at once! I walked in to the kids preschool this morning and the first thing one of the teachers said was 'OMG that is going to be a 10 pound baby for sure!' irked the absolute crap out of me LOL Like I care if he comes out a 10 pound baby?? I am feeling quite cranky and ranty today -maybe that's a sign! LOL

The in-laws have gone on a day trip -thank GOODNESS!!! I know it is a waste being so uptight and cranky anout the situation but I just cannot get past the fact they shouldn't even be here until the baby arrives like we agreed on ARGGHHHH!!! Far out 15 days today they have been here...

Anyway, like I wrote I am having a cranky day, need to suck it up and try and relax.

I do have a whole new appreciation for mums who go overdue, I never knew how frustrating stupid obvious comments were from every single person you see!

 

[Mississippi03]

Lol the comments are annoying long before you go overdue!
Still waiting out my babe with ya girl - same due date too! Apparently they arent fully cooked yet hah

Onebump, pleased all is ok with Michael x

 

[Willow01]

I am still waiting with you ladies it's so frustrating isn't it!! Come on babies

 

[3boys]

Oh I hate comments when I go overdue. I normally go 9 days overdue so I know how you feel.

 

[Hope87]

Gah. I'm still pregnant!

I've been having menstrual like back cramps all night, but I doubt it means early labor. I'm now 40+5 (based on dating scan)/40+3 (based on LMP). If LO doesn't make his appearance this weekend, I'll be induced next week.

How is everyone feeling?

 

[MissR]

Onebump, that must have been so upsetting for you. My DD was admitted to hospital at 2 months old and I was terrified at the time. Sending hugs your way and glad he is doing well xx

 

[Twag]

Sending lots of labour dust to you ladies that are awaiting the arrival of your little ones!

37 weeks for me tomorrow and I REALLY need to pack my hospital bags

 

[Rainstorm]

I'm still pregnant as well! Only god knows how much longer

 

[Willow01]

Poor you Rainstorm you have one stubborn baby who loves it in there too much to leave!!

Poor you Rainstorm you have one stubborn baby who loves it in there too much to leave!!

thanks for putting that way. I'm just too anxious, and this time around, with a toddler at home to take care of, it's become much harder to go though this stage. But oh well, it will happen eventually. I saw a post from a girl who was 42+. That would be complete hell!!!

A local lady in my VBAC support group just delivered at 43+2, I am in total awe, imagine the patience!!! And she got her VBAC!!

40+5 and STILL pregnant here! Had a night with quite regular tightenings that had me thinking 'yes, this must be what spontaneous labour is' and so I thought I'd try and rest from 2am onwards and managed to fall asleep, waking every now and then with a good strong tightening but here I am 7am on Saturday the 10th still with a baby inside -what the heck is that about?? I'm starting to think I really suck at this going into labour thing! Lol

 

[Dark_Star]

Happy due date to me... my little buddies are 4 weeks old today!

 

[geordiemoo]

[Tink1o5]

Very cute darkstar.

Happy due date to me as well. My little girl is 10 days old.

Mason Michael Alexander was born at 8:24 am weighing 8lbs 7oz and 20 inches long.

Just a few quick details because im exhausted and want to sneak in some sleep while i can!
My water broke at midnight.. Contractions started about twenty minutes later.
My mw didnt believe i was in active labour 'because it happened too quick' and told me to go back to bed.
Finally at 330am i called her telling her she needed to come over and he did. She checked me at 430 and said i was 2-3cm and 90% effaced..
My contractions were every 3 minutes and complete back labour it was fucking hell.
At 530 i told her i wanted to go to the hospital because i wanted drugs. She told me she wouldnt take me yet because i wouldnt be 4cm yet and theyd just give me drugs and send me home. I got mad and told her to check my cervix.. She did and looked at me and said we have to go now you are 8cm.
I went to get in the car and i honestly stood in my driveway and intentionally peed my pants and it was the best choice i made all night.. It made the car ride o much easier.
I started pushing at around 630am.. Again still all back labour. Not to sugar coat it.. I wasnt trying to deliver him, i was trying to poop.. Because i was convinced that if i could poop it would ease the pain. Not sure i ever pooped?
For the last 30 minutes i was completely dissociating during contractions to the point it was scaring dh.
Mason was born at 8:24am.. I have minimal tearing.. All very superficial and around my labia not my perenium.. But it still hurts like an effer to pee!
We came home around 130pm and have been exhausted ever since! Hes breast fed 2.5 times.. Hes such a sleepy boy lol
Ohhhh and for the record.. I didnt get the drugs. I was only allowed gas and air as it was too late. Was done au naturale.. And hurt like a mother fucker

 

[Rainstorm]

Aliop 43+ is crazy!
Dark star the look cuter and cuter as time passes. Hope you are all doing well and adjusting after your initial setbacks.
Mississippi congrats!!! Thanks for sharing your birth story! He's so gorgeous!!

Hi Ladies! Well, there has been a change in plans! My day started with LO not moving. It was terrifying! From 4am until 9am he wasn't moving, even after orange juice and coffee. We rushed to the hospital, they found his heartbeat, but was worried how low it was. They admitted me, monitored baby, and have begun induction. Currently on a round of cervidil, and will start pitocin sometime tomorrow. Looks like we'll be having a Canadian Thanksgiving baby. Will post updates when able.
