***December Dreamers*** 70 babies born***

[Pixxie]

I've been loosing quite big bits of my plug for 3/4 days now, surely something must happen soon!? Every time I go to the loo there's a fair bit, also getting period pains

 

[Nessicle]

Sammi my mw made sure I knew that regardless of how fed up I am they won't interfere unless medically necessay before 14 days over

Pixxie fx for you hunni it sounds like things could be progressing for you xx

 

[mummyclo]

I lost my plug for over a week before my waters broke
I think its a good sign things are moving along!

 

[Pixxie]

Hmmm, maybe I'll get a due date baby?

I can dream anyway

Feels like there's gonna be no Dreamers left waiting soon! xx

Sammi my mw made sure I knew that regardless of how fed up I am they won't interfere unless medically necessay before 14 days over

Same with mine, she was sympathetic to how I'm feeling but there is nothing she can do but offer a sweep when she next sees me

just looked at my notes from 2day and baby is 4/5 engaged so better than nuffin haha!

 

[Nessicle]

Why do people have to make unhelpful comments on facebook?! Someone has put 'chill out you've got a week til your due date' errr how aboutyou be in agony every day and see how you cope?!

I saw that! They just don't understand do they?

 

[Pixxie]

Ness people keep saying things like that to me too, drives me nuts!

Also 'Have you not had the baby yet?' xx

Being engaged doesn't mean anything really hun let her have her pathetic say! Babies can engage a day before labour or at 25 weeks.

My cousins gf is due 2 weeks after me and is being induced tomorrow due to her baby estimating to be large, my gran couldn't wait to rub it in!

Why do people feel the need to do that? Yes she may be having her baby early but shes got a higher chance of needing a section and her baby needing help because there making it come out before its ready, no one ever brags about that bit!

Well how stupid as YoungNImum says - its NOT a freaking race!! Its about getting healthy babies and healthy Mums and if Caitlyn has to stay in there till 42 weeks to be healthy then so be it

People say the stupidest things at times - especially women who have been there and should know better. Grrrrrrr

Well, im dyed, washed, scrubbed, make up is slapped on and im perfumed up! You wouldnt have thought going out to lunch was such a big deal! - Its weird having makeup on - its been weeks since ive bothered doing more than shoving on some moisturiser.

Mizzr xx

Iv always said id prefer to go the full 40 weeks then i no my baby boy or girl will be safe, i just dont understand why she thinks she has ro rub it in, i dont really care aslong as her baby boy is born safe then thats the main thing, just makes me angry

[ducky1502]

Hey guys.... Im still here and waiting! Cant believe its my due date tomorrow. Getting sick of calls, texts n people talking about it in general. Proper grumpy cow haha!!

 

[Nessicle]

Thanks girls was wondering if it was just me over reacting but she's only 16 weeks pregnant with her first so has no place to judge! Can't waitvtil she's in our shoes!

Aw ducky I hope labour starts for you hun I'm just gonna ignore any texts or messages I get asking if she's here yet how thick can people be?! Sure you'd tell them if so!

Accidentally ate some pinkish chicken earlier and my guts feel all overcrhe place hope I don't throw up

 

[Mincholada]

ladies, firstly CONGRATS to all you newly baked mummies!!! such lovely names, weights and pictures! makes me so excited to meet mine!

i'm still here, 2 days til due date and nothing happening. i'm surprisingly patient so far and don't expect her anytime soon. my mum called today to wish me a happy due date as she's soooo convinced it'll happen on time, as both me and my brother were on time... she then went on saying that she only knows of one person who ever went "over" and that she never heard of the 42 week term... we then chatted a little bit and i told her about baby's hiccups and she hadn't heard of unborn babies hiccuping before either... oooh great!

i'm more than convinced now to not have her attend my birth. it'll just stress me. they fly in on sunday and then they can enjoy their florida vacation and come see me before labor starts and once LO is out (that is if she makes it before they leave again).

had midwife appointment yesterday, but my midwife was in naples on the florida gulfcoast attending a birth, so i was attended by a nurse midwife that usually takes care of the hospital patients of the OBGYN and not the birth center patients in that doctor's office. was quite unhappy about that, as i had some questions for my MW and couldn't ask them plus this MW doesn't know my story, so she ended the appointment with "have A LOT of sex now...". well, love to, but i'm single and it's not the same!

got some stuff done now i'm off work and all of a sudden, FOB contacted me by email asking about me, baby, due date bla bla. will see how that will continue.

today was not that great then. my german friend that wants to attend my birth and also recently fell pregnant, had an ultrasound done today at 10 weeks and unfortunately, there was NO BABY . she somehow had a funny feeling all along, but it still hit her hard of course. there was only the sac visible with nothing in it. the tech called the doc and the doc gave some comfort and said they could scrape it out right away or let the body try to do it naturally. she opted for naturally and has now 2 weeks. i went over to her house in the afternoon and we cried a little together and then i kept her occupied with grocery shopping before her hubby came back from work. i feel soooooo bad for her, as she's got all us pregnant mummy-cows around her (me, another german friend, her SIL) and she so wanted a baby and was so happy that it happened in the first month trying.
she does however still want to be at my birth, so i'm a little relieved as i would've understood if now she wouldn't feel like it, but i would have no other support there, so she'll be of great help.

on a brighter note: bought a bottle of red wine today and i think i'm gonna have me a nice glass tomorrow evening while soaking in the bath tub with candles lit and my cafe del mar music playing. whoop! would've done it tonight.... BUT, baby brain forgot that i don't have a wine bottle opener


hope yall that have not had their babies yet, have something going soon! especially you ness!!! besides that, patience for all of us!

 

[Nessicle]

Hi Jenny

Aw so sorry about your friend bless her for still wanting to be at the birth to support you!

Lol at your mum! It always amazes me how much women didn't know back when we were born and how much they just 'accepted' sometimes ignorance is bliss

It's 3.40am here been up since about 1.30am unable to sleep just the pains in my bump again I think it's just the weight of my bump causing tummy pains!

The bath and red wine sounds lovely too - I had a small glass last night it was lovely!

 

[ducky1502]

I'm so tired right now!!!!!!

Been awake for nearly 2hrs now having 'contractions' every 9/10mins. I dunno if it's the real thing. They feel like intense period pains and some of them feel like they're in my bum and back too. MOST of them are regular but every so often they seem to throw an extra one in for free.

So now I've got up because I keep disturbing OH and I'm sure they will stop now and I will be exhausted all day. I don't even know if it's the real thing or not maybe just strong BH?! I have to breathe through them.

Well if my theory and timing is right my next one should be here within the next min or so........

 

[nikki-lou25]

Ooh Zoe maybe this is it for you, esp after your "show" yesterday!!! Hope so, good luck

 

[ducky1502]

Whilst I was in bed it was all quite regular and painful but now I've got up it's not regular really anymore greeeeeeeeeeeat so just get to spend a day exhausted for no reason!

 

[cho]
