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

[Powell130]

Just about an hour left of my last day at work and then induction tomorrow! Been having some strong and long BH today (nothing crampy or painful, just really tight). Pelvis has been a bit achy, so should be all good things in prep for the induction.

I need to go buy a camera on the way home tonight. For the life of me I cannot find my digital camera and want more than just cell phone pictures of my babies.

So excited for you!!!

I had to buy a new charger for mine cuz i want more than cell pics also! Then of course i found my charger after buying a new one and spare battery at least i know it'll be charged and ready to go! I think i need to get a bigger. memory card as well

Good luck brunette and Christie. Looks like well def have 3 more babies by the weekend! Fingers crossed a few more surprise ones too!!

I am cramping like crazy with lots of Braxton hicks but I've googled and if course means nothing just effects I'd sweep most ppls dies off in a few hours or days. Super cranky too. Had to send kids over to grannies (over the hedge) for an hour so I could have a super long and hot shower in an attempt to rid the cramps and cranks! Didn't get the super long short I wanted a beep kept coming through on the Bluetooth speaker and I panicked and thought ds1 (9) might have miscommunicated mammy has cramps can u mind us to mammy is in Labour which would have spread like wildfire and dh could have been half way put the road with blue lights on!! (Police man!) So I freaked out and jumped out after 5 mins but turned out to just be the battery low on the speaker!!

Currently sitting on the bed in the nude with no noise from kids eating a bar of chocolate and a ice cold drinknif blackcurrant! Feels so good I may as well be in Mexico!! 😂

Oh good reminder I must charge camera this evening!!

We got a proper camera last year 400Euro but worth every penny I love it.

Now saying that most pics are still taken spur of the moment on phone but great quality photos from the big camera when rmtherevus an occasion or manage to pull it out!

I saw my doctor today and we are still on for Thursday so there are going to be quite a few babies here by the weekend it looks like! Doing last minute things around the house so my parents feel comfortable while watching my son. Haven't done much cleaning in the past month really so I am doing the bare minimum

I've been doing the bare minimum too but since idk when we are closing on the new house and dunno when baby is coming I feel like I need to get one room good and clean so I'm trying to decide on the living room or bedroom lol luckily the house we live in now is tiny so I don't have that many choices lol im gonna have hubs do the kitchen and bathroom so i dont have to deal with the chemicals and me do the other. I think i'll end up doing the bedroom

 

[xSweetTartx]

It's days like these that I feel my house is way too big We definitely bought it with kids in mind but man it's a pain to keep decent. It will be nice when the tiny ones are older and can contribute to the upkeep. Tyler loves to sweep. He's not good at it but he tries

 

[banana07]

Got excited there had some very strong contractions but they totally irractic. Ugh im going to bed.

Nite nite ladies 😴

 

[Misscalais]

My stitches may be infected so back in triage for midwives to have a look as community midwife said it looks like it's gaping

Knew something was up as peeing, sitting or any sort of movement as been extremely painful!

Oh and my baby needs to be seen at ane because he was projectile vomiting last night and midwife isn't happy with the amount of poos his doing and the fact that it's still dark

How old is bubba now hun? My bubs poo just started changing yesterday when my milk came in the night before. Shes 4 days old now.
Oh i hope they can do something for your stitches, sounds very painful and not something you want to be dealing with, with a new bubba.

ill be feeling that way soon the house we are buying is 3x the size of the house we are in now!

That's awesome! Having a big home is difficult to keep clean but the space to breathe is nice! My family seems to think that means there is always room for new toys. e.e He is one boy! He cannot possibly play with all of them!

I had a glamorous moment earlier. I was sweating so bad between cleaning and contractions that I was upstairs cleaning in just my panties. No bra- just as free as can be. I was scrubbing the shower like a madwoman and my husband walks in, "What....are you doing?" It's one of those moments where you peer over your shoulder and try to think of a rational thing to say. Nothing came out and I turned brriiiiight red. I've decided today was a mixture of nesting and shame. I have one of those big families that is going to show up invited or not. They are all opinionated and I care way too much.

 

[Christie2011]

I think my doctor is going to try to talk me into a section tomorrow. She called me to tonight to discuss my 'concerns'. I didn't have any so I was really confused. She mentioned baby B being bigger and if she flipped, then a section would be highly suggested. Which another doctor had already talked to me about and I said fine, makes sense.

She caught me off guard offering a section first thing tomorrow instead of trying induction. I had kind of thought about if the induction attempt didn't amount to anything I'd maybe want a section before the day was over.

I also know if i'm not dilated at all, induction isn't an option. So I ended up telling her let's see if anything is going on "down there" in the morning and make a decision from there. If induction isn't an option, then section it is.

Otherwise I wonder how common it is for baby B to flip after A is born. Both are head down now so there are no issues trying a vbac. I also wonder why there was no mention of trying to flip her back before attempting delivery was never brought up. I'll have to remember to ask tomorrow.

The thing I'm not looking forward to is having multiple locations with stitches if A is delivered vaginally and B via section. Ugh, decisions.....Wish I could see the future.

Yes! I'm so excited about it but not looking forward to cleaning a bigger house

Omg that's HILARIOUS!!

Oh goodness Hun, that sounds so stressful!!
I hope everything works out for you!

Babyjan - I hope your stitches have been adjusted and you are doing better. As for your babe - - what does projectile vomiting in a newborn mean? Is it just a matter of a new digestive system adjusting to life on the outside world? It sounds scary and I hope it clears up fast. Keep us posted.

Christie - the twins business is a whole different world, isn't it? I would share your apprehension about having a difficulties with both a vaginal birth and THEN having the bonus c-section to cope with on top of it. I hope you have a good rapport with an experience doc because it sounds like it could go either way and things could change at the last minute. Fingers crossed for you all!

I had Sebastian yesterday at 2pm. Turned out after 20 hours of labor I never went past four centimeters. He started dipping. My own oxygen wasn't great and it was becoming a concern. My husband made it through the entire time in the or. He said my doctor was an amazing dragon lady!! It definitely was more than pulling and stretching sensation but I got through it. I lost three times the blood I should have and I'm still on oxygen but he is beautiful!! I will post a picture later today. He has soon much hair!
