I had no symptoms when I went into labour before lol, no contractions, just very very bad period cramps, and got to 8cm that way, but without proper contractions my cervix was all rolled up one side, so had to have a section, after 30 hrs of labour. I was alone and 20 years old, then caught a nasty infection. So had a planned section with my 2nd child and that was much better. And hopefully this time it will go ok too.

It depends what you eat, if you eat crap food you wont loose weight. If you eat healthy it should fall off, so iv been told.

 

[Smanderson]

I really hope im like the ladies that do lose whilst BF'ing would be gutted not to

Good sign your still having them hun, must be things are happening

I just been looking through those bundles i got off netmums and the are amazing, so many things still have their tags on really we could have gotten away with not buying anything new but we only got things we love so hopefully wont have too much unused things

The pelvic pain was unbearable, so I called L &D and they told me to go in, they did an internal and said I was 3cm dilated. Leo was stuck in my pelvis, very lucky he didn't become distressed.

If I get them pains that dont go il be going in to get checked

 

[Smanderson]

Cripes! Its a good job you called and got them to check you out!! will bear this in mind if i get any very painful cramps Defo get your bum down there and get checked out if you get anything like it this time hun

I am pumping every 3 hrs and currently only getting between 1.5-3 oz a session. Im hoping it picks up!! When I go see him we try to breast feed and he does latch on most of the time but his little jaw isn't strong enough to stay on for long yet.

Breastfeeding/pumping burns anywhere from 400-800 calories a day, and it does make you hungrier so if you make sure you fill yourself up with good stuff and don't exceed in consumption the calories you burn you will lose.

I'm gonna attach a pic of me day after delivery and 1 week PP (excuse the slight nudity) and I really think that constant pumping made me lose water weight and any extra. After a session I feel hungry and tired like you just worked out.

also attaching pics of Elijah, today he had graduated from an incubator to a crib!! so exciting! you can click the pics to make them bigger!

OMG he is so cute! And looking good

 

[DessyMarie]

Sorry I realize I just posted a whole bunch of pictures, but they're all so cute I couldn't chooose!

Cherry, like Doll said I started having those period like pains, contarctions, and back pain around 27 weeks... and from there I got to 29 weeks and was 2 cm dilated. It does sound like she's getting ready for an entry into this world! Also, I had a lot of mucus which I'm sure was bits of my plug, and LOTS of discharge. When I hit 4 cm, I ended up having the baby that night, but I had started spotting, so keep an eye on all of those things.

Doll... everything you have to say about Elijah I can completely relate to because I've now had 2 babies in NICU and I know what it's all about. My first daughter stayed longer because she wasn't a very good eater, this one had breathing issues which is what kept her so long, and because she was VERY tiny.

As for you other ladies, time is really getting close and I'm so excited for all of you. I do wish Olivia would have stayed in 2 weeks more, but I was able to meet her sooner, and everything I went through with her made me so much stronger. So I'm very excited for all of you. I know I've been on cloud 9 since she's gotten stronger. Especially having her home. I don't get to take her out yet since she had breathing issues... it's like i'm on house arrest now, but I don't mind because at least I get to spend it all with her to myself!!!! So in love.

All of you ladies have been amazing, and I'm so glad I had the support from all of you. I may not be on much these days, but I still check from time to time to see any updates and who is closer to meeting their babes! Enjoy the pictures

 

[DessyMarie]

[dollface85]

Aww dessy she looks soo good! She definitely filled up and is so pretty!! And just keep posting pucs I love seeing how she is progressing!!

Now Elijah just needs to tackle feeding. He is taking partial bottles every once in a while and hope he really starts taking them cause he ain't coming home otherwise!
