[gertrude]

[lyndsey37]

congrats moomoo, well im bloody still here, had a sweep today and midwife told me that the babies head is in front of the cervix and needs it to come round central but the babies head is very low - praying for a miracle now

 

[lilgemsy]

Congrats to all new mummies since my last post and good luck to anyone in labour... its getting hard to keep up with now!
Labour dust going in the direction of those overdue! x

Ugh. Im exhausted and stressed and just plain fed up.
I need my little boy home.

 

[JakesMummy]

Oh Lyndsey

I got admitted into delivery today, as I had high blood pressure , headaches and swelling on my hands and feet (which I have had for quite some time, so is normal) but they wanted to test for Pre-Eclampsia - Luckily my urine came back clear and so did bloods. Still a scary moment as LOs movements had severely decreased, so had to go on a monitor for a very long hour and kick count etc, she slept the first half, which was freaking me out, but then worked up a sweat kickboxing in me!

They decided to send me home and keep my original inducement date - which the Obstetrician doesn't think I will reach as she is ready to come, and the weirdest thing is, I am contracting but not feeling it?! My contractions were reaching 25 on the monitor but to me felt like minor tightenings.

So that was my eventful day - she is still inside me, beating me up the bigger she gets

It made it all the more real though being in that delivery room today and seeing the little cot etc

Hopefully next time I come on here, there will be more sweet peas that have finally made an appearance!

 

[chocojen]

Hope he is home soon. Think baby may be getting lower, I have a lot of pressure in my groin when I stand or if I have my legs close together. Still got back ache but it is constant so don't think it is the start of anything. Really tired and grumpy so gonna head to bed. Good night x

 

[AmethystDream]

And it begins.

After paying no attention at all to this pregnancy, the baby, the girls nor me, the SIL reads a message from a friend on Facebook that today is my due date and all of a sudden the texts start with his family wanting to be updated.

I knew it would happen and still I'm fuming. If you don't make the effort beforehand (even when we were ill, struggling and having contractions at 23 weeks) and treat us with nothing but disdain and disinterest, why on earth do you think you deserve the privilege of being informed about developments now? Stupid, self-centred, selfish bloody people. OH replied quite civilly despite my suggestion of asking where the feck they have been for the last 9 months? or if we had any news that he quite possibly would have mentioned something?

We want time alone for our family to bond and instead they booked somewhere to stay around here (they live 4/5 hours away)... they still haven't told us exactly what dates, we can't be prepared to avoid them then you see. I swear if they show up I may end up in a police cell rather than labour and delivery.

Someone save me from these people

Jakes- one night while I was in I was having some that reached 60 and didn't feel! Weird!!

Ewww TMI but I just passed a HUGE clot! I felt it come out! Gross! Lol

 

[Emmy'sMommy]

Good Luck to those getting close and congrats to all the new mommies!

Off topic but my milk came in the other day and my boobs feel like they weigh 10lbs each !!!! LOL They hurt so bad and they are HUGE, but its not like they were small to begin with lol

 

[JakesMummy]

Really, Sam? Jesus, that is one huge contraction!!! I remember that disgusting feeling of a clot passing out through me - feels horrible!!!

Amethyst - I sympathise for you - some people (especially family) are so bloody inconsiderate and selfish. We have family that have just started ringing up to find out if she is here yet - Piss off is my answer LOL! I haven't spoken to them for years!

Emmys - Oooh I also remember the milk coming in - your boobs really do go up a cup size, don't they?! I would get out of the shower and not be able to hold the towel close to my chest as nipples and boobs would be so sore like bullets LOL!!!

There are so many things I dread like stitches, going to toilet, milk coming in, nipples cracking etc that I try to forget ! But in reality, know will be happening very soon.

Chocojen - Hope tomorrow is a better day for you. Sounds indeed like baby is very low and getting ready to make an appearance, hopefully very soon!

 

[Emmy'sMommy]

Emmys - Oooh I also remember the milk coming in - your boobs really do go up a cup size, don't they?! I would get out of the shower and not be able to hold the towel close to my chest as nipples and boobs would be so sore like bullets LOL!!!

Yes they do! And although dh may approve, im in agony LOL

 

[MissFox]

I woke up to my milk and huge boobs and was like WTF they were supposed to get perky!
Mine are on FIRE! I make a face when Rosie latches but my mom is aleways saying that means I'm not doing it right but its just the first inital getting them used to that again bc it hurts so much sometimes and other times not at all! Lanolin is my new BFF.
Yea jakes! My contractions felt like small tightenings at 80 it was the pitocin ones that hit 130 that make me scream!

 

[AmethystDream]

Another little tip from my dear old Mum that used to work for me, when you get too engorged with milk get some flannels with hot water on them (as hot as you can take) and lay them across your boobs. They 'let down' or release some of your milk and the pressure, it really helps when you are feeling too sore and heavy to latch on well.

Oh jeez, I miss my Mum

Looks like it's going to be a hormonal emotional day, 2 lots of tears already and it's only 6am

 

[chocojen]

Big hugs Amethyst, sounds like you need them today

Jakes I hope you are right, I am so uncomfortable now and want to meet my baby boy! I have been talking to my tummy telling him that too! I have woken to a bit of a chesty cough today though so just had some vitamin C, cant be ill to push!!!

[babybefore30]

Well I am still here - contracted all day Friday, woke up with them being more painful on Saturday they then disappeared about 2pm and started again yesterday with shopping pains up by bits then disappeared about 11am. Since then nothing. I am bored, bored, bored I have nothing left to do at home, I can't sleep properly so today I am off to try a pineapple and a long walk and hope something happens, have a midwife appointment tomorrow but doubt that will make me feel any better.

 

[SazzleR]

Amethyst.

You had an eventful day Jakes! Glad all is ok.

I'm ringing MW this morning to arrange a second sweep seems as though I'm still here

Had a good ol' cry last night. DH thought I was mental! But I'm so uncomfy, swollen & had added bonus of heart burn last night. Plus I feel like everyone's hopes are waiting on me & the pressure is just too much Really really want bubs in my arms. Sniff. x

 

[SazzleR]

Got a second sweep booked for tomorrow afternoon. But MW just said to me on phone 'ooh I'm surprised to hear from you, thought you'd have done it by now'!!! Talk about rubbing salt into the wound!!! Argh! x

 

[lilgemsy]

Amethyst and Sazzler - Big hugs for you both! x

Jen - Hope your chest is better soon. Bad timing for getting chesty lol, aww bless. x

11 days after birth and Ollie is still in special care. He is improving though. The least he takes now is 10ml which is a big improvement on not taking anything at all! He took his first "fed very well" full bottle today!
So proud of him. Just hope he keeps it up!

 

[Emmy'sMommy]

AmethystDream

Good Luck Sazzle...Hope the sweep works!

to all the others still waiting on their sweet peas!
