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

[Powell130]

Thanks ladies!!! Omg maternity ward, soooo noisy. I don't know how anyone ( who doesn't have a private room ) stays for longer than a night. I hadn't slept in 48 hours, my bub and the other bub in my room played off each other for a good few hours so as soon as he cried my bub cried, get them settled then the nurse would come in do obs on my baby ( she pooped inside me before she was born so needed extra monitoring ) so that would wake her. So then i had to settle her again and right after that the other baby would get upset again etc in the end my bub ended up beside herself screaming for at least an hour and i couldn't settle her so the nurse came and took her to try see if she could bring any wind up ( i couldn't get her to bring anything up but knew she was very windy ) and apparently she brought a whole heap of mucous up which was really thick and a heap of wind. I woke in a right panic looking for her because i had expected her to be brought back with in an hour to feed her again. So went out and shes sleeping peacefully so haven't disturbed her. Ive asked for early discharge so hopefully can get into the home mw program where a mw will come out to my home for the next few days to check us.

Emma your bump is gorgeous, your eyebrows are great too!

my hospital is all private rooms. they take your baby out? mine doesn't the babies stay in the room the entire time. different countries I suppose. I don't think I would like sharing a room at all. I don't blame you for wanting to go home early..

Same here!! The hospital I delivered #1 at had LDR (labor, delivery, recovery) rooms and PP was one floor up. The hospital this time has LDRP (labor, delivery, recovery, and postpartum rooms so you are in the same room the whole time. And baby stays with you. I would freak if I woke up and baby wasn't in the room!!

PS- Sara I wasnt trying to freak you out last night, that was not my intention, at all!! I wasn't warned ahead of time about pitocin contractions but wish I was so I could have mentally prepared a little more. I seriously hope your induction goes smoothly (unless baby wants to make an appearance before then of course) like some of the other ladies in here because mine surely didn't

I wish it were all private rooms here its such a silly thing to think a mum and bub is going to get any sort of rest rooming in with another new mum and bub.
No they don't normally just take the babies out but because she had pooed inside me while in labour they needed to watch her more closely in case she was developing an infection etc. But shes fine

My baby wasn't taken without my permission. But i had fallen asleep and when i woke freaked out because i hadn't realized id actually gone to sleep and woke looking for her.

 

[Misscalais]

Soo I had a little bitty spot of old looking blood on my panty liner this morning and just got outta the bath and after drying off felt kinda wet. Wiped with TP and got this (see pic). I initially thought the old blood was from 2 cervix checks at the hospital yesterday but now I'm not so sure. Possibly the beginning of something?!? What you ladies think?!

It's okay I think everything is going to freak me out. I am getting nervous I have never handled the unknown well. I am just such a planner and being prepared. I can't be prepared for this. my husband keeps saying how I have completely calmed down now that I know when he is going to come. I just don't know how which is a whole other thing to obsess about.

 

[SaraVO]

Here she is.

wow. just wow. how beautiful. congratulations!!

Could be! I had no show this time which surprised me. It must have come out when my waters broke cause i had nothing at all come out.
Fingers crossed!!

Thanx for your response!
I've been having contractions for the last few days, all day, but they aren't regular and ranging from 30 secs to a min or so and anywhere from 5-12 mins apart.
Prodromal labor perhaps? Idk! I feel like a newbie since i was induced with #1 but the bloody tinted discharge and contractions are pretty new to me; didn't get either the first time around until I was already in the induction process! I had been having contractions that showed up on the monitor during NSTs the last week or so with #1 but I didn't notice em and definitely wasn't able to keep track of em like these lol

 

[StephtheHiker]

I think it's a second time mom thing because I got a lot of bhs with the first but only false labor in the week before DD arrived but this time I got my first batch at 32 weeks. (3 to 4 minutes apart for several hours) it could be the start of something or it could just be your body giving you pains just for the lolz

Misscalais- she's so beautiful!! Congrats! Do you have a name yet?

 

[Powell130]

I've been having BHs since 13 weeks and these are different. I can feel most of em in my cervix and butt lol and I have a bad backache along with. It got really bad last night and was almost like a burning feeling and tons of pressure from him engaging off and on the last two days only thing I can do is keep an eye on things and wonder until something definite happens lol I hattttte not knowing!!
Last check on Friday I was 2CM and 75% effaced
