Congrats MarkandAnnie!

Don' t want to go into labour anytime soon as I fell down the porch steps at home, slipped on ice and broke my foot! Fanf#@kintastic!

 

[ProudMommy26]

YAY!!!! Another baby. Congrats Mark&Annie. I wonder whether there will be another baby today?... *Looks at Jade* hehe

Jodie: This might help: https://pregnancy.about.com/od/breechbabies/a/breechbabies.htm I think on all fours is a great way to turn baby and move your bottom side to side.

Batty- I'd have a word with your midwife too, just to make sure everything is ok

Sorry to hear about your foot vivienne Get better soon x

Yesterday, me and the hubby DTD and I had a good bounce on my gym ball. Started contracting for a few hours every 15 minutes and they was soooo painful, right into my pubic bone. Still getting them today but they are mixed with Braxton Hicks too. Going to do the last shop today, so will be doing plenty of walking.
Also noticed my pelvis is starting to feel really loose and it cracks when I get up in the night. Lovely!
Hope you're all well and having a great weekend

Oh vivienne, I'm so sorry. Feel better soon!

 

[Mark&Annie]

Morning everyone! we didn't get home until after 10pm last night - one of the reasons I wanted a home birth in the first place, hate hanging around for paper work, argh!!
anyway, other than that, wow what a day. As you know I started contracting about 4am, not really convinced I was starting proper labour. Decided I'd sort out bags etc and at 11am dropped Joshua off with my Mum and went for a walk to get things moving. We went to pets corner in the Dene - the local petting zoo! I did look funny leaning over the pigs and goats deep breathing! So, after a bit of a wander we went back to the car and decided to call the birth unit for advice, they said come in and we'll check you out.
wasn't expecting to be told I was 5cm and we think you should stay, that was at 1.30pm.
Dumped our bags and went for an explore around the RVI, plenty of contractions, getting stronger etc so went back to our room. I was ready for a long haul, as I was convinced they just weren't as painful as last time, so paced around, concentrating on breathing down into my pelvis, really imagining 'opening' up I guess. That was for about an hour then decided I'd like to use the pool. I totally recommend the pool guys! allowed me to get in a good position, the water just takes the weight off you and it didn't sting as much. Well as soon as I had one contraction in there, I felt the push, second one; head, third one; body! I pulled him up onto me and there was my baby boy! I'd had two paracetamol at 12pm but that was all, just used relaxation and breathing. Was amazing!! Only small 1st degree tear, don't feel bad at all, just very tired!

So, here we are, Louis Alexander Graham born 3.56pm, 8lb 2oz

congrats mark & annie xxxxxxxxx

 

[xxyjadexx]

He's lovely annie! And you look great!
Sunshine girl happy due date for 2mrro! How exciting!

I didn't get my induction 2day, the consultant was busy and they needed her to sign some papers. They offered to start things tonight but I have asked for early tomorrow so I can get a good nights sleep in haha. So hopefully first thing tomorrow morning!

 

[AuntBug]

Annie, he is absolutely beautiful! And I agree, you look great. I looked like a zombie for days!

Jade, good luck Hun. I'll be thinking about you. And hoping it all goes smoothly.

 

[moomin_troll]

good luck jade! have they told u how u will be induced? my only advice as i said before is stay off ur back. walk around get on ur knees as this will help baby get into a great birth position and makes pushing easier. pushing on ur back isnt helpful or nice.

as for me im bloody knackered, i only took zane out in the garden and kicked the ball about abit and blew bubbles and now my backs killing me hahaha

i really should be on my knees trying to get corey to turn as hes back to back right now :/ but instead id much rather be on the sofa having zane hugs hahah

im going to miss my own personal table tho as bump is being used to rest my cup on lol

 

[abs07]

He's gorgeous Annie - and so are you!

I'll be thinking of you jade - you may be our first August baby!!

Afm, I woke up this morning at 5am and noticed pink discharge when I went to the bathroom. At 7am I noticed some blood in the toilet, so I think I lost if not all, some of my plug. Since 7am I've had cramping in my lower back and stomach all morning. Don't know what this means... But hopefully labor is forthcoming!

 

[moomin_troll]

sounds like ur plug is coming away. its not really a good indicator of when actual labour will start but the pains are a good sign. keep active but also get rest and just keep on eye on things
