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

[lace&pearls]

Thank you princess X I do love a good induction story as the Internet is full of scary ones (plus I know a few people who have had them, I was with my sister for most of her induction which ended in emcs... But was her first baby and she was completely unfavourable so v difficult to start) how is everything going?

I love Jasmine's hair band so cute!

Ah Emma skylar is beautiful! How you getting on? How's big sis adapting?

I had some pains yesterday but then it all suddenly stopped. I was miserable after that lol. I woke up at 4am to pee and passed what must have been my mucus plus. (Sorry TMI but omg ... So much!)

So far today I've had period pain like backache and the odd period pain feeling in lower tummy. I dare not get excited though! Lol also would prefer to go into labour when OH is home from work if I can choose! Lol takes him about 45 min to drive home so I don't want to panic, but also don't want to ask him to come home for no reason either. I didn't have a typical labour with my daughter so I feel like it's all new to me - started with waters breaking so I knew I was in labour and got told to go straight in. I feel like I could just be in pain and discomfort until I'm induced :-/

Popping in for an update. My baby girl was born today (3rd of May) at 13.58 on just gas and air. No name just yet, 7lb8oz and 48cm long. She pooed in utero but luckily didn't aspirate any of it. She is so perfect and DS is smitten with her.

Good luck to all the ladies still waiting xx

Mine honestly couldn't have gone any better and induction was the last thing I wanted as I'd hoped for a natural birth all along and was afraid I'd end up having a section. Good luck sounds like you're on your way!

Oh Emma that child is reared!! So cute x hope ye doing well 😁

Congrats flanks she s gorgeous. Have you any names shortlisted??

Jasmine is beautiful!

Laceandpearls I Def wouldn't worry about induction if u can. If u remember I wasn't just dreading it I was near terrified!! But it was perfect. I thought being in the gmhospital the whole time would be horrible but like u with ds1 my waters broke first so I knew but I always worried what if I had a super strong threshold abscess in active Labour without knowing etc... Once I got to hospital I totally relaxed and was actually relieved I was there. I hsvevwrmt from being petrified to being delighted to be induced if I went again (although I'm done no more babies here!!)

When is induction set for??

 

[Misscalais]

[LilMissHappy]

Congratulations to everyone who has delivered. I'm still hanging on at 10 days over. Induction booked for Saturday at 13 days over. Trying everything I can to induce labour myself before but it's not working! Got my 3rd stretch and sweep tomorrow so see if any progress since Monday. I was 50% effaced and 3-4cm dilated xx

 

[Hopeful Cat]

Goodluck Lilmisshappy! I hope the stretch and sweep gets things moving

 

[Bekah78]

Good luck littlemisshappy. Hope delivery goes well and will look forward to your announcement.

 

[princess2406]

Good luck!

My yellow bump turned its a pink bundle!

Baby Mae Elizabeth was born 04/05/16 at 7.17am, 7 lb 7 oz ... She was 11 days over due in the end!

I posted saying I'd had back pain period pain all day Tuesday, wasn't sure if it was much. Was all very mild until the middle of the night and then fairly quick. Went into hospital at about 4am was 5cm and she was born at 7.17am. Pushing stage much much faster than with dd1, (no epidural this time though - I had gas and air and pethidine) midwife said 5 or 6 minutes (whereas pushed for over an got with dd1 had no idea what to do lol) I'm pretty pleased with how it all went I did tear though :-/ I think I rushed pushing her a bit and she came out with her hand by her head (apparently)

I hope everyone is ok and everything is going well.

I take my hat off to anyone breast feeding I'm struggling x I'm not sure if I'm cut out for it (please don't judge x)

And those who had sections you are troopers I can't imagine how difficult it must be trying to get about while feeling sore x I'm struggling with stitches and sore tail bone x

 

[Bekah78]

Congratulations laceandpearls.

I've heard the first two weeks of breastfeeding are the worst and then it gets easier. No experience as Erik is being bottle fed after all the trauma my body went through. Up to you to do what's right for you and your baby. I intended to breastfeed but know a fed baby is a happy baby so I don't feel guilty about having to bottle feed.

 

[Natasha2605]

Congratulations laceandpearl!

Little miss is the first of my three to be BF. It was so hard the first week or so - incredibly sore/broken nipples and poor latch. Lanolin cream helped massively. Now BF is amazing.

What is it you're struggling with

 

[babyjan]

Congratulations lace&pearl! Did you have epidural with your first? I did with my first and laboured with gas and air only this time I much preferred my second birth!

Is there anyone who can help you out with breastfeeding? That's if you want to continue x

 

[Hopeful Cat]

I was finding breastfeeding to be really painful and my nipples were getting sore. I was told by midwives to try nipple shields...omg they are lifesavers!!!!!! I definately recommend giving them a try if u struggle to get baby on a good latch or if ur nipples are suffering. Baby is 2 and a half weeks now and i wouldnt have made it past 3 days without the shields.

Congrats!

I'm bf and it is hard work especially to begin with! It's crazy it's the most natural thing to do but dosent always come that naturally to everyone. The first week for me was hard but I'm really enjoying it now. Good luck and of corse do what is best for you and your new little bundle xx
