Nothing today feeling 'normal' again lol. Should stop reading into every sign, reminds me of ttc! x

 

[Tobaira]

lol and soon nothing will ever be "normal" again =) but in a good way.

keeping an eye on you guys - good thoughts!! =)

 

[baby2310]

Fx'd for you guys! Hope babies arrive soon.

Had my 31 week appointment yesterday, blood pressure ever so slightly raised but more likely due that i had to run to the drs as was so late!!! oops!
Ever so slightly low blood count too so mw told me to get spatone supplement as it's not low enough to need iron tablets. The supplement should be enough to give me and baby the boost we need.
Other than that all ok, just waiting to hear on my sil as she is due today and found out she has been taken in to hospital with raised bp.
They may have to induce her if bp rises any more. So could be an auntie again any day now
Glad to hear all you new mommies and babies are doing well x

hi girls, infection has passed and i feel slightly normal today! not too sore...

things they dont prepare you for...

1. you look 10 times bigger when you have the baby and nothing fits you!
2. baby constipation......any tips???
3. the tiredness....omg!
4.the bloodloss, even after a section and they have supposed to have mopped you out!
5.the amount of nappies you go through in a day! both of you!
6. the amount of money you spend on trial and error! ie..we have now changed from tommy tippee bottles to dr brown (much better) aptimal 1 to aptimal comfort....(bought 3 tins already!) gone through at least 100 nappies! tried infacol....pure orange...gripe water..etc!
7. you think of wat he is going to wear today first before you have even brushed your teeth!!!
dreamer think things are happening for you...

pity you didnt get the sweep claire...the LO will come down soon though...

enjoy your last days of freedom!!

 

[lilrojo]

Haha your funny Trixie... they dont prepare you for alot.. at least this is my second child so i know what to expect and my freedom has been gone for 2 years now..

Hope your all well.. so close to the end now for us..

Hi ladies!! Hope you are all doing well!!

I have my 39 week appt tomorrow and really hoping my body has done something over the past week! I really want to be holding my baby by the end of this week!! I hate to think I'm wasting a week off work and get no baby out of the deal. Plus, being off makes time go by so slow and I get so bored!! I've already gone through my nesting phase so there's not much left to do around the house.

Hope everyone has had a great weekend and all you new mama's are getting some much deserved rest!!

 

[_dreamer_]

hi ladies,
Few things going on for me, had quite a few strong braxton hicks in the night with backache and lower stomach pain with them. managed to sleep not too badly which is good, just felt them when i was awake (i think unless they were what was waking me lol). have also had 2 good toilet clearouts this morning, and have started having a watery browny/pink discharge. How do you know whether this is just extra discharge/part of your show or whether your waters are trickling??? Will keep observing! If this is the start, its VERY early and I know things are going to take a while. OH is due to be on nights as of tonight, but he only works half hour away so hopefully will be able to get back in good time if things do kick off.

I feel you lady. my oh had convinced me our little girl would be early, even though i kept saying no she won't, i realise deep down i thought she would too, I hadnt really considered that she would be late. (well hopefully she wont lol!).

thanks trix for the truths of afterbirth! we should be aware for what its really like to be more prepared!!!

hope all you ladies who already have your bubbas are keeping well and not too tired.

how are you doing claire? anything yet?

shall keep you posted on me x

 

[Claire1]

Good news Dreamer, I think you might have your baby before me ha ha. Nothing my end, I have had a small amount of greenish mucas stuff...sorry, but nothing brown or pinky. Yours is def plug i would imagine. Ive not even had braxton hicks! Luckily in my heads Ive always thought i would be late, so in a way i'll be taken by suprise if i went sooner.
Will keep my fingers crossed for you.
Hope all you other ladies are doing well, getting there slowly but surely xx

 

[lilrojo]

Claire how far over you due date are you.. what is the plan for induction and such... hope baby comes soon...

Dreamer def sounds like plug to me too.. in my experience when i had my dd, and i know everyone is diff.. my daughter was born the next am after losing my plug.. keeping everything crossed for you..

Im 40+3, so no loads. I have an app on fri with midwife for a sweep and she will book induction then for me if nothing happens sooner. Rubbish!

 

[LadyL]

Induction scheduled for this Friday!!!!!! YAY!!

I had my appt today, and of course, I have not dilated at all and baby is still not really engaged. At first my doc said he'll see me next week, then he said...well let's do a growth scan to see how big he is and if he measures bigger than 8 lbs we'll induce this week. So my scan showed him at 7 lbs 15 oz!! Haha! So I guess he felt that was big enough to go ahead and induce. So, I will be admitted Thursday night, and they are gonna give me Cervidil to help soften the cervix and I have to be monitored while I'm on that. Then Friday morning, they are gonna start the Pitocin to start labor. And one way or the other, I will have my baby Friday!! Eep! I am so excited and nervous at the same time!!

Dreamer, sounds like things may be moving in the right direction for you!! Good luck with everything and keep us posted.

Claire, you have so much more patience than me! I nearly lost it when I thought I would have to wait next week, and I'm not technically overdue til next Tuesday!! Good luck with your appt Friday. Maybe we'll have our babies on the same day! Or, maybe you'll go into labor before then and you won't have to worry about it.

I hope everyone else is doing well.....
Now, time for me to start getting prepared for Thursday!!

Lucky you! There is no messing around eh. Luckily I am laid back, or I would be pulling my hair out. Would be nice if we had them on the same day though I am a bit worried about induction though,or more to the point being in hospital over night on my own, im so pathetic. Never been in hospital before..eek!
Anyways...time to get organised now Lady!

Oooohhhh!!!! How exciting, I knew you have your baby before me, looks like Lady probably will as well ha ha. Good luck hun, keep the updates coming

 

[LadyL]

How exciting Dreamer!! Good luck! Will be thinking of you!!

Haha Claire! I am the most impatient person ever! Christmas and birthdays, I'm pathetic!!.....I've never been in the hospital either (well, other than for work), and I'm pretty nervous about it too, but my husband will be able to stay with me so hopefully it won't be too bad. And I've already told one of my co-workers who I used to work nights with that she will have to come keep me company Thursday night. She is one of my best friends..I'm actually in her wedding in one month!! yipes! Hope I fit into my dress!

Crazy to think that by this time next week we can add 3 more babies to the CBFM Graduates!!

 

[_dreamer_]

I just got back from the hospital, oh came home and went with me, they advised it to see if my watery discharge was my waters. They gave me my first internal (owww), was not my waters, cervix was behind bubs head, she pulled it forward, and i was 2cm dilated, and sorry if tmi but when she pulled her fingers out she had my plug all over her. Home for now, tens is on! Contractions have got much more intense. She reckoned baby would be here by tomorrow night. Gonna try stay at home long as poss
