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

A Dr at hospital told me once that they take the extra large gloves out of the boxes and put them in the small size glove dispenser on the wall so as not to scare new mums to be!!!!

I've just started doing the online asda shop to be delivered next weekend and eeeeekkkkk!!! its nearly £250 already!

I made the mistake of actually GOING to Tesco - bugger that - 1 and 3/4 hours and £125 later, Im shattered! Its either online or DH is doing it from now. My back is killing me and my bump HURTS! With having to go to a couple of other shops I spent all morning out and im too tired now to think about putting the shopping away.

HELLOOOOOOOOOO!

I'm so sorry everyone, i'm so crap on here. I struggle to keep up in here anymore, there's always something going on so i have to run away then by the time i get back i have no idea whats going on so end up not saying anything!!

I hope you're all ok xxxxxxxxx

Babies are so sweet, keeping me so busy right now! I've just put up some pics in 3rd tri but those of you on my fb have seen them already!

I am having such a problem with breastfeeding, well not the feeding, the amount im producing!! I could feed my whole road with it! Its leaking out to the point of soaking through several pads, towels etc and its really getting me down as any sleep i am trying to catch im not getting due to my boobs leaking through everything (you can read my whole problem in the Breastfeeding forum, i am so in need of help i cant tell you ) xxxxxxxxx

Nat! Hello :wave: lovely to hear from you. Im sorry you are struggling -well not struggling exactly - with the breast feeding. Are you expressing at all? My mw said you can store milk for 3 months in a freezer. Or you can donate it to milk banks I think.

Im home and gutted. To start with it was a male mw!!!! He practically butchered me. But he said he couldnt reach my cervix at all and baby wont b making an appearance anytime soon. He pulled oyt a huge amount of bloody show. I was in tears it hurt so much n i didnt even have a sweep!! Booked for another next fri but dont think i want it.

Ouch - oh hon. Cannot understand why you can reach it and he cant!! Surely if you are having a bloody show you cant be too far away from labour.

argh i have really bad acid reflux :,(

Oh hon I truly truly sympathise.

Just saw an advert for a JML Crazy Critter dog toy and thought of you and Rox Sammi! It doesn't have any stuffing!!!!!

I saw that the other day and thought exactly the same thing!

we always do our shopping online - i can't trust DH to go alone - he'd come back having spent a fortue with loads of lovely yummy unessential things and it was stressful enough with just a 5 year old in tow!!!!

I usually spend £170ish every 4 weeks but then thats all our store cupboard and meat stuff for the month so all we have to get locally is milk and fresh fruit and veg when we need it! But what with formula, nappies and christmas gooides this months gonna be an expensive one!!!!


Mmmm think i'm gonna have to up Ailsas bottles to 5ozs! But the recommended feeds on the back of the tin says 5oz and 5 feeds at 2 months! Shes not even 1 month old yet!!!

We've seen them! I dont think shed play with it as the only doggy toy she plays with is her kong but that usually has a treat in it, the rest of her toys are bits of rope Dh had from work. On the subject of fluff, tatty is away in a cupboard and she doesn't seem to miss him.

 

[Mizze]

I didnt even have meat in my shop - we get that from the butchers and there was only a very small number of christmas things

I am guilty of stocking up my store cupboard though - I think we would have enough to withstand a 2 month seige!

Also got the M&S dine in for two for tomorrow night - yumm!

Mizze xx

 

[sammiwry]

My store cupboard has lots of tuna and soup with not a lot else

 

[- Butterfly -]

Minch hon for you and your friend - I had that happen twice last year and its devestating. Amazingly courageous that she still wants to help with the birth. xx

Coming about every 9mins n lasting about 45secs. Have to get up to shower etc v soon ready for my mw appt so will see what happens then. Reckon it will stop

Fingers crossed Ducky.

Congrats on d-day for you and Charlotte.

Looks like Louise is in labour too.

DH gave LO a kiss this morning and told her to hurry up! I wish I have a feeling im in for another month.....

38 weeks for me.

No news on Wishing yet.

Anyone else's hands feel tight and swollen -Im still wearing my rings (cant get em off though) but my hands feel really tight since yesterday.

Mizze xx

Congrats on 38 weeks Mizze!! I have taken my rings off only this week. I needed to put handcream on to get them off.

Im home and gutted. To start with it was a male mw!!!! He practically butchered me. But he said he couldnt reach my cervix at all and baby wont b making an appearance anytime soon. He pulled oyt a huge amount of bloody show. I was in tears it hurt so much n i didnt even have a sweep!! Booked for another next fri but dont think i want it.

so sorry hun

 

[Lenka]

Hi Girls. Well, I had my second sweep today, now patiently waiting...hopefully it will work like it did for Karrieann MW asked me to go into labour so i dont undermine her success rate for setting women off into labour!!! I wish i could
Putting up my Xmas decos and tree today, as wont have time anymore
Induction is Monday...heh.....

 

[ducky1502]

Could i possibly be having just BH but just more intense ones causei really dont know anymore. My tummy goes tight like BH but i get intense period pains that spread round to my lower back and sometimes even my bum. I have to breathe through them. But the midwife seemed so sure that baby wasnt on his way anytime soon. OH thensuggested that maybe they are just BH. But i thought i had been having BH for weeeeeeks, tummy goes hard, sometimes take my breath away but arent painfilf

 

[ducky1502]

That last word is supposed to say painful lol.

 

[cho]

Ducky are they becoming more intense, if its labour they will become more intense, more frequent, so if you have been having them since this morning they should well eb progressing if its labour, if its not it could be false labour hun i had that for a week before i had Bradley xx

 

[ducky1502]

They are starting to get worse but i dont think its proper labour. Il be happy with false labour so long as they arent just your bog standard BH because id be upset then lol.

 

[Kerrieann]

Hi girls! Well as you all know my lil man Jude arrived yesterday at 2.40 pm weighing 9.12lbs and with NO PAIN RELIEF!!!! Im mad yes lol, but had 1 puff of gas and air and hated it this time so said no and was so far along i couldnt have anything else, it fooking hurt like hell lol but managed to escape with the tares or scratches He got stuck for 3 minuted so his lil face was blue and swollen all day yesterday and is only just getting pink today but his eyes are still really swollen Should clear up soon. My after pain are horrendous, i heard that with ur second you get them but thought they would feel like mild contractions, they dont! They hurt alot!! Nearly called an ambulance early as was crying in pain But taking lots of painkillers now. Jude is breastfeeding but is a very hungry boy and was latched from 12am to 5am last night!!! But then slept till midday!

So i need to know updates for front page, any more babies??? if so gimme the info lol

well done Kerrie thats great about pain relief!
Poor little boy being swollen, and thought he looked a hurgry little boy in your photo lol, chomping on his hand haah.
what did they do when he got stuck and did you have him in water, was it good? xxx Kerrie is it easier with your 2nd lol xx

 

[Kerrieann]

Charlotte i cant tell you how much easier it is!!! It was unbelievable even tho i could feel everything it was amazing! Had him in the water which was lovely too, i was only in the water for 20 mins tho so didnt feel any relief from it so would advise you too get in pool earlier, but the only reason i didnt is coz i was 4cm at 11.30am and they said leave it a couple of hours till ur more dialted but at 2pm my waters broke and then the contractions were really painful and one after the other so jumped in the pool and pushed him for 10 mins!! When he was stuck they just kept telling me to push, they dont touch you there, they like you to push the whole body our urself to prevent tearing which it did!

And the labour was less then half mine was with Jake!

 

[cho]

brilliant you give me hope

 

[nikki-lou25]
