***April Sweet Peas 2011*** join here (48 babies born)

[SazzleR]

My ankles have suddenly swelled up today. They're massive! They've been a little puffy before but not like this. They feel tight & dead uncomfy. Not sure whether it's from the heat today as I've been sat in the garden or something more sinister? Anyone who's had BP probs had the swelling come up really quickly? x

 

[JakesMummy]

Sazzle - I have had swelling for the past 3 weeks, but today it has got BAD! Its more to do with the heat, with me, as I was wearing shoes all day and in the sun. It may just be the heat making it worse?
But I had protein in my urine last week, and not this week..how random!
The worst part for me is getting out of bed in the morning, the soles of my feet are sooo sore walking across wood flooring.

Gem - Has your milk started coming in yet? I got incredibly emotional around day 3/4 after Jake was born, and it was at the same time my milk came in. You have had an overwhelming experience, which you have never gone through before. Must be tough for you to just want to be with Ollie, and seeing him like he is is heartwrenching, I bet.
That horrid nurse who is "supposed" to be looking after him should be reported!

Congratulations MommyMika!!!!! Gorgeous name : )

MissFox - All the best for your induction! Hope all goes as smooth as possible! Can't wait to hear any news!

Again sorry if I miss anyone - I read back and then forget - pretty useless at this tbh!

I am so bloody swollen and uncomfortable and fed up!!! It has only been these last few days I have been really ratty with everyone and thing - I am in the "want to kill someone" mood - bit like PMT! Oh well 2 weeks maximum til I get to meet my little girl : D

I've had really swollen feet and ankles today and until now I haven't suffered from it at all! Think it probably is the heat but might mention it at my appointment tomorrow.

 

[SazzleR]

I'll hope it's just the heat then. Got them raised up on 3 pillows now! Hopefully that'll help. If not, might have to persuade DH to massage them! x

jakes - im not sure lol, theyre leaking but not much. but they are massive and rock hard.
2 weeks will fly over! x

emmys - lovely bump

casie - josie is beautiful! x

ollie really did cheer me up before
i got peed, puked and pooped on all in the space of an hour but he still made me smile haha.
his cord fell off before too... quite quick considering hes only 3 days old.
i think the hospital are going to help me contact social services over FOB because how he acted tonight is not on. might finally be able to live my life in peace without him soon

 

[DanaBump]

awww, casey she's gorgeous!!!

 

[DanaBump]

ok....seeing all these babies being born is REALLY getting me excited for my little booger..4 more days!!!!

 

[bernina]

Sorry not a chance to catch up with everyone. Having very painful contractions anywhere from 4 to 8 min apart. Having for last hour or two. Had bloody show this morning and continued to loose most of day with milder on and off contractions. Haven't called dr yet because not sure if regular or painful enough. Sure hurt like he'll though and I can't talk or concentrate during most.

 

[Emmy'sMommy]

YAY bernina!!! Hope this is it for you!!

 

[MissFox]

Exciting bernina!!!
Dana- the next 4 days will go FAST!
So I'm admitted and having contractions 5-8 minutes apart all on my own. They put the Cervidil in 20 mins ago and my cervix is BURNING! They said I have a good chance of this starting labor orrr them breaking my water in the morning to see if that gets things going before trying pitocin. Wooohooo! And final weight gain is 25lbs (of course I chugged water and had dinner 20 mins before getting on the scale!)

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Good luck Bernina & Sam. FX by morning you both have babies. XXX

 

[MissFox]

Having contractions hitting 90! Woot!! Each one is like WOAH on my cervix! It f-cking burns! Hoping its working and when I get checked again I've made tons of progress or I hope my water breaks lol.

 

[happy_hayley]

[CottlestonPie]

Good luck ladies!!!
Hoping for more sweetpeas today!

Im taking Toby for his hearing test today... Then registering him tomorrow. Woo!

Anyone who's had a bub already... What should I expect from the health visitor? Do they just check him over like the midwife did? Weight, head etc?

 

[bernina]

Great job MissFox!!!!

Admitted a few hrs ago 6 cm and fully effaced at admission. Started out at 2 cm and 50 effaced. Hurt like hell until epi 30 min ago. Good now.
