Any Scottish April 2013 babies out there??

[Kaybee]

poor Stephen. Dylan usually wees on me at some point during the day

How are your OHs finding it becoming dads?

That's cheap Laura. I got mine for around £7 from amazon. Got some cheapish lansinoh breast pads there too

Ryan's loving being a dad. He does everythin he can for both of us! He's so cute! If im sitting feedin or cuddling lewis he comes over, hugs me, looks at lewis and says 'thats our beautiful baby' with a huge grin on his face. Its like he can't quite believe lewis is here and he is ours. Lol.

Stephen loves being a Dad. He's a big sap but it's funny watching him trying to change nappies and get him dressed. He has him whenever he's not feeding lol, will just sit cuddling him and kissing his wee nose. I think it's made him appreciate me a lot more too which is nice

That's great your OH's are all being so doting! John is very chilled about this but he's done it twice already. I think he'll be a lot more mushy when James fonally gets here. I just know he's really anxious cos both his ex's got pnd after they had his two other sons, he split from the first when wee John was only a year old and he didn't see him for about ten years, then the pnd turned his other ex into a total maddo which we're still dealing with now with Cameron. It's difficult trying to reassure him that this time can and will be different.

I know I've been complaining loads about my mum lately but I can't imagine how hard it must be for you girls with all the parent problems. Although I'd probably take the same stance!

I'm just sitting here bouncing on my gym ball hoping something will happen lol xx

Congrats cheryl.

Sorry ive not been here much ladies. Been looking after paige myself past 2 days and ryans mum took her today was meant to catch up on my sleep but didnt lol instead i was missing paige all day at my mums. Came home after tea and started tidying like crazy lol

Just waiting or my baby to come home now as her daddy went painbaling with my brother but i was told the game would finished around 7.30pm yay right!

Arlene hope that bal is working wonders for you xxx

 

[bbymc]

Come on baby James!! Once he makes an appearance we can arrange another meet up ( assuming we're all recovered enough) and I get to meet all these wee cuties!

Sending you some good 'go into labour' vibes Arlene!

 

[lj2245]

I was thinking that earlier emma be lovely to get all our little ones together

 

[arlene]

Thanks girls. Had a dream I'd had a show, so disappointed when I woke! Hoping the mw has better news for me today lol. xx

 

[Kaybee]

It would be lovely to get the babies together. And see you girls too

How gutting 'the show' was just a dream. Get back on that ball!

 

[lj2245]

Your ticker says baby is anywhere from 5 to 11lbs. 11lbs? Jeezo.

I hope it was a sign of things to come for you Arlene! I had a feeling my waters were going to break the whole day before they did!

I think, when I have my next baby, I'll tell people my due date is 2 weeks later than it is. You must be going mental I hope your mum has left you alone today!

 

[arlene]

Nope, text from her at quarter past eight this morning!! Lol. Got a sweep at my app this morning and there is some progress, my cervix is a lot further forward and I'm 2cm dilated! I've also had a bit of show during and after the sweep which she said is normal. I'm booked in for induction at 8.30am on Monday which gives me some time to go naturally. I got a wee info booklet on induction which says at the end "Please note there is a no visiting policy on the labour ward for security reasons. Birthing partners only" I've been saved!!!!!! Don't care what the midwives say when I get there, my mum is getting told!! Lol. I'm so relieved!! Xx

 

[arlene]

Laura, I noticed that on my ticker too and thought bloody hell!! Lol. MW estimated 8-8.5lbs for him xx

 

[lj2245]

2cm!! You'll never make it to Monday

So glad they have that on your leaflet, although it may have your mum pushing to be a 'birth partner' again

 

[arlene]

Hoping I don't last til then!! I keep feeling like I've got trapped wind and need to go to the loo, think it's just pressure but fingers crossed it's a sign! I'm just going to be firm with her and say the best thing she can do to help us is be at the flat and take care od the dogs so John doesn't have to leave me. xx

 

[lj2245]

Hopefully she decides to put you first then, instead of her desire to be there.

 

[bbymc]

Im such an idiot. I knew about that rule. I had ryan and my mum there but only cos they were my birthing partners. Noone else was allowed. If you got induced though you would be on a ward first and she could visit then. But considering I was moved to labour ward when my cervix was favourable and I was 2cm dilated, I doubt you'd need to even consider that. You'll never get to Monday!

Labour ward is calling!

 

[Cherrybump]

Arlene i was like that alot before i had paige lol. I had diarrhea and felt constipated few days before then felt like i had diarrhea again . On the op table when getting the epc in my back i said to the person holding the gas and air thing that i think i poop hahaha. Guess that was my body going numb but i swear it felt like i did.

So hopefully and all fingers crossed that your little poop factory makes his way some time before monday lol

Good new about that leaflet though lol and if she doesnt believe you just stick the leaflet to her door lol xxx

 

[arlene]

If I get there on Monday I'm gonna tell the midwives to stick to that story even if they are a bit lax with it. It'll save me so much hassle! We're away to see Olympus Has Fallen tonight, decided to follow it with a cheeky Dominos pizza for tea Still bleeding a wee bit and James is wriggling but no contractions or waters yet. xx

 

[lj2245]

You're brave, going to the cinema, lol!

I bet you will go like I did! Nothing but niggles for ages then it all goes really quick when contractions start

 

[arlene]

Cinema is only ten minutes from the house really, just about to stop off at Dominos for some food pn the way home. Fingers crossed it's as quick as yours Laura! Lol xx
