Happy Mother's day to all the US mommies. I'll be spending the day with my 4 wonderful girls.

This year they spoiled me. My mother in law, husband and the girls got me a charm bracelet with a charm for each girl.. Then the girls got me a picture frame that they color.

Congratulations to all the new mommies! So glad to get back on here and catch up...looks like it's still a waiting game for some of you. Not long now, it can only be a matter of some days really! (I know that doesn't help when the clock seems to have slowed to a crawl lol).

I'm back in the game here now after a few days of not really being able to put Tiernan down very much. He did have a couple of evenings of trapped gas and I'm still trying to get him burped properly every time he feeds, but it doesn't seem to work part of the time as he falls asleep on the boob and even if I put him up to burp him, sometimes nothing comes out. So I'm working on that part of things. Nipples are sore but today one of them is starting to feel ok.

I'm watching out for those of you still left and sending you happy and speedy labor dust!

If you find a soloution for that please let me know! Gabriella keeps falling asleep while feeding and then won't burp :(
 
Had my beautiful baby girl 3rd May (8 days overdue) Madison Lea, weighing 5lb 14oz! xxx
 
I wanted to add I had my beautiful baby boy on April 22nd. His name is Zachary James. He was born @ 12:45 am, 39 weeks along. He was 7lbs 9 oz... 20.5 in long. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!
 
Oh well im still here so it looks like i'll be heading to the hospital tomorrow afternoon to be admitted for induction on Tuesday AM. I really really wanted to go myself this time
 
Congratulations to all the new April mums :) Lots of labour dust to all those overdue :) Best wishes to all those due to be induced over the next few days :) Happy Mother's Day to all the US mums :) I think that just about covers everything :)

Mommyof3girls.. When do we move over to the other section? (I'm guessing once everyone has had their Sweet Peas) Also, how will we know when we've moved? Does this post move or will there be a notification on this post to tell us where to go next? Don't want to be left behind if I'm not online much over the next few days xx
 
i was wondering when we'd move too...please be sure someone to let me know :)

BIG congrats to all the april (and may) mummies! Happy Mother's Day to the US mums...and anyone who is overdue you poor girls have my sympathy its horrible but once the bub is here its worth it...remember no one said pregnancy was easy they just promised it would be worth it i hope you get to meet your prefect babys soon

xxxx
 
I figured we would move next weekend since at that point everyone should have had their little ones. I'm not too sure how the whole moving sections work. I'm going to look into it. Then I'll let you know.
 
Congratulations xPinkPandax, BabyG, new mommies and best of luck to those still waiting..not much longer now!

I never realized this thread moved over to a different place - that's cool. It's nice to keep in touch with the same bunch in the future. :)

555Ann555, LOL..I'm totally with you on the burping thing. I've established he just won't burp if he's fallen asleep on the boob. I will wait sometimes til he does that mid-sleep stretch and squirm, then go for it then, and that seems to work better. I've not had too many episodes of trapped gas so far so for that reason I'm not too worried about him burping up every time.
 
Well done to all the new mummies, and good luck to those still waiting.

Catkin - good luck with your induction. Hopefully it's all well on its way now. I didn't find induction with the pessaries unbearable, and my waters had already been gone 30-odd hours when they inserted the pessary, but it's when the drip goes on (if you have the drip, which you may not need unless you aren't progressing well) that things get tough. I managed til 5-6cm on TENS, then started gas and air just as they started the drip, and stayed with gas and air and TENS for a couple of hours then just g+a for another couple of hours, but didn't go beyond 6cm despite the contractions being fierce and relentless. It was when there were problems with the heartrate and c-section was looking likely due to possible failed induction, that I had to have an epidural, but it didn't work properly (I had relief from the local anaesthetic til it wore off after half an hour, and the epidural numbed my left thigh... so that was useful then!). Gas and air was amazing, though, and providing your labour goes smoothly and isn't long like mine was, and you don't need the drip, you may well be OK with just that - if you use it properly it does have an amazing numbing effect! You probably won't read this now, though!!

Phew, at least I won't get left behind :)

I've resorted to taking her off when her suckling slows and burping her mid feed, then burping her again at the end of the feed (if possible).

She woke up screaming about 2 hours ago which was really distressing, but I think it must have been trapped wind :sad1: She only screamed for about 2 seconds, but it was just so sudden, plus she was in her Moby wrap so she was screaming right under my chin!

I'm going to see if I can get into the baby massage class my HV runs to see if there are some helpful massage techniques I can learn...
 
i was just thinking of her to as we were due the same day
