April ladies ...were having our babies THIS month :)

[missbabes]

Wow are you really 4cm and not feeling it missbabes?

Sounds strange I know. No regular contractions at all. No concern from the midwife either, so it can't be all that unusual. But it might explain why I kept feeling so sore after being on the ball for an hour the past few nights.

Getting some pretty strong irregular cramps/contractions from the sweep, but I had it last time and it died off by the next morning. So don't really know yet.

Hey all. Sorry for the late update. Baby Erik Terry was born Saturday night...... But then took a really bad turn. I started to lose lots of blood. My kidneys failed and they asked for permission to remove my womb. I lost consciousness and ended up on dialysis. Getting back to my self slowly!! I'm now in intensive care and will recover but big journey yet

That sounds absolutely terrifying! Hope you recover well and get to enjoy your new little bundle

 

[banana07]

Oh bekah I hope you are ok physically and mentally. From what you've told us already you're a super tough cookie. Erik us one previous little boy and sooooooo lucky to have you as a mummy ❤ Hope dh is ok too x

 

[banana07]

Congratulations ganton!! Make sure to post a pic!

Missbabes, I'd say you'll be super quick if your already 4cm - do not delay getting to hospital!!

Emma & missbabes who else are we waiting on!?!?!? 😂

omg... that's so scary and traumatic and horrific.. I hope you are ok. Did you have to have a hysterectomy? I'm so sorry hun!!!

Yes, I ended up having a hysterectomy.

It's all been very scary for my DH but we've had no choice but to get on with it. We've managed to establish my milk today with a pump so that's a positive!

 

[Oldermummy78]

Hope your feeling better today bekah!

Keep strong your alive and well and have a healthy baby that's all that matters in the end, your dh must have gone to mush when it all started to go wrong, my ex did in an emergency situation with my 3rd baby and the amount of people that came rushing in my room was crazy! Each time I passed out and came round there was more so big to you all can't wait to see picture of your little man

Good luck miss babes xx

Update from me, went in to be checked and observed late last night after about an hour of regular contractions about 5/6 minutes apart lasting about 50 seconds. Had a check and was between 4/5cm dilated so was given a stretch, but to give me more time to be as natural as possible was put down as 4cm. Contractions fizzled out a little after being monitored then came back when having a good ole bounce on a ball sticking to 2/3 minutes apart for about 40/50 seconds for just over 2 hours which convinced the midwife that I was fully in labour. As soon as I went back on the monitor they slowed back down and disappeared. Was given a choice to either go on the ward and wait and see, or go home. I chose to go home and got back after 5am. Was only suggested because I live 5 minutes travelling time from the hospital. So all of that for false labour.

Got some proper sleep at least, and now have a sore wrist from the cannular. So back to wait and see for regular contractions again.

 

[emma4g63]

Def wont be long for u miss babes ..
Least u got sum sleep xxx

 

[Oldermummy78]

It's deffinitly not false labour missbabes they are doing something for you to get you at 4/5cm! You could go really fast now so be aware Hun your waters could go anytime
Good luck look forward to your update xx

Had a good read of my notes from last night and you're right. Just in latent / pre-labour instead

Was very happy to see that little lady went to 1/5 engaged at one stage, so that confirms she can get down there. Something DS never did.

Got the irregular contractions back again, just not enough to think too much about.

 

[lace&pearls]

I'm still here too xxx had midwife appointment today (just regular check up no sweep or anything) she's booked a sweep for saturday morning and another one for monday morning if that fails... then they will book induction for 40 + 12 if that hasn't worked I'm hoping it won't come to that though.
DD was born at 40 + 9 2 days after a sweep so maybe this one will follow in big sister's footsteps.
I feel a bit emotional/teary tonight not sure why.. any other overdue ladies feeling/ felt the same? .. I have no reason to, everything's fine
maybe I'm just a bit anxious about giving birth and I think I'm anxious about how my daughter will feel after the baby has arrived, I don't want her to feel left out etc.

missbabes that all sounds very promising - hopefully that means things might happen tonight!
fingers crossed for you x

Emma hope you're doing ok waiting for induction, getting rest while you can (difficult with 4 y/o though!)

Here is baby Beatrice! Born on Tuesday at 41+1 weeks. 3.9 kg! This pic was taken while we were still in the delivery room and you can see she is still crusty with blood. I labored at home like a champ and was fully dilated by the time we got to the hospital which was a bit crazy but what I really wanted to get right this time around since the first time I had a lengthy stalled labor with lots of unpleasant interventions. This time: 8 hours total from first contraction to the finish line.
