[Emmy'sMommy]

Aww Caro, he is a cutie! Congrats again!

to you Gem!

I agree with starting a thread to keep in touch with everyone and track growth and milestones on our little sweet peas!

 

[AmethystDream]

He is just delicious caro

Gem - He will be with you soon, lovey. Take care of you while you have a little time x

Hope you other ladies are progressing nicely <crosses fingers> Flipping frustrating isn't it?

Consultant this morning, the first time that Pickle has behaved and hasn't been flipping around all over the place. He's head down and although he isn't very low, his head isn't free of the brim, so doc thinks that he may stay this way now.... pretty please little guy. Because he has been so quiet compared to normal I had to have another trace. He promptly woke up and kicked the hell out of the sensors for the next 20 minutes, so he is doing just fine I do have really swollen fingers, a vague headache and protein in my piddle though, so think I'm going to have to keep a close eye on things. A couple of contractions here and there but genuinely not getting my hopes up, been there too many times and it only frustrates me when it all settles back down again.

Another family party tonight (my family is massive), so I'm hoping that my waters don't go!

Right, caesar salad for dinner with some nice fresh crusty bread and some cornichons... Love to you all x

Loving the baby pictuers! I had hopes of writing my birth story today while I'm on my mom's computer but I'm so tired now after sitting here for an hour. Think it might be time to go lay down again!
Rosie slept for a 3.5 hours stretch and then a 4 hour stretch with 1.5 hours of eating inbetween. I'm not opposed to this schedule! Especially if she gains weight like she is supposed to because I really try to wake her and she doesn't have it!
A parenting thread sounds great.
I'm feeling a little better again today. Never thought the pain would go away this fast but at the same time I'm not wishing it to stay!

[Miss.Miffy]

Hello ladies, congratulations to all the new mummies! Just to let you know my little man arrived 13 days early on the 13th April at 10.07am. He is just perfect xXx

 

[lilgemsy]

Ollies Birth Story
Just finished it! Its kinda long lol. Tried to keep it as short as poss though

Hes having loads of scans done over the next few days... bloods, pee, brain scan, been reffered to a speech specialist (dont know why since he cant speak lol) errr... an some others I forget now. Hopefully theyll find out whats wrong and sort it!

Congrats all you new mummies.
Good luck anyone in labour!

Amethyst - FX'd that LO stays that way this time then! Needs to stop winding mummy up, naughty pickle lol Enjoy your party hun x

Rainbow - thanks for starting the new thread!

Dana - shes beautiful x

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Speech specialists don't just assist with speech and language problems, but also with feeding/eating issues. If he's having trouble and inconsistency with his feeds, it may just be to diagnose why and if there's a physical issue, to provide therapy to relieve the issue so he can come home.

My daughter sees a speech therapist for speech and language and used to see one for eating issues.

 

[lilgemsy]

Ahh. I just thought it a bit odd to be seeing a speech specialist when he cant speak xD
Hopefully theyll be a great help then!
It sounds a terrible thing to say but I really do hope they find something wrong soon for the sole reason that if they find something then at least they can get it sorted then.
Im sick and tired of playing the waiting game now.

Hey--

Josie's Birth Story

here is my birth story. It's a book and I didn't finish it because I got too tired the day I started it. It's a bit emotional... so... just be aware.

Just to add-- I ended up having a c-section which was the easiest part of the whole process. Sucks about the recovery time.

 

[AmethystDream]

So very pretty Dana, thanks for sharing

Gem - Hope Ollie's tests go well, you managing to get much rest?

My waters didn't break in the party <phew> but I have been having on and off contractions all evening. Now I'm starting to feel a little more like I'm getting somewhere but I'm being a bit stupid.

I have to drop off the girlies when I go into deliver, if it is tonight, and I don't want to leave it too late but equally don't want to go too early, everything to stop or go to the hospital and they tell me to go back home (wouldn't be happy).

So I'm trying to find the balancing act in the middle, that's if the contractions keep coming, just about to start a timer on them now.

Here, if you are interested.

Will keep you updated... this child will NOT be born in the Mersey sodding tunnel en route

 

[lilgemsy]

Amethyst - Yeah getting some rest at night but not much. I keep waking up loads and looking for him then remembering hes in special care lol.
Hope your contractions come thick and fast now and things are go go go for you! Keep us updated! x

 

[Soulshaken]
