Yeah we both have sweeps tomorrow Courtney it will be funny if they are born a few hours within each other lol!
Fingers crossed the full moon works for us too Nikki
My contractions tend to be like painful BH's with squeezing and pain inside my pelvis
They don't put their hand up only two fingers
yeah I can't imagine that'd be too pleasant! First she'll insert one fingernthen the other and circle them around to feel for your cervix and see how favourable it is then struck and circle to separate the membranes from babies head. Shouldn't last longer than 30 seconds but the internal I had at the hospital I found very painful but that's probably cos of all the cervix pain I was having it was probably irritated and sore anyway, Im Defo taking painkillers before it this time!
hey ladies!
i see it's still same old, same old... here as well!
was bouncing on my ball and had my friend over til 3 AM and baby was moving like crazy and making me feel quite uncomfortable in addition to a ton of braxton hicks and when i went to bed i got good sleep again and not a sign once more... boooo it's getting old!
quite jealous that you, ness and sammy, are getting sweeps tomorrow (if nothing happens before).
having some braxton hicks again this afternoon, but it's so normal that i won't read anything into them. wanna bet i will have none when i go to the exam on tuesday and they could actually see them on the monitor!
since i hardly ever in my life had back pain and haven't really had too many period pains either (only when i was a lot younger and would drink coke), i'm really waiting for *these signs*. just not happening...
wish i had a house to paint like YoungNImum! would be nice to have something to do. i bet baby's room is gonna look great in peach!!!
well, i'll go and bounce or walk or whatever... have a nice evening all!!!!

Hello December Dreamers
I am so so so sorry that I haven't been on before now. I had completely forgotten how demanding a newborn is!!!
I haven't read back so don't know whether you have been updated from my facebook page but I will try and upload a photo anyway!! View attachment 147758
Rosie Mae was born by elective section on 14th December. She is now 5 days old!!She was 6lb 9oz!!! I knew she was going to be small because she kept changing position in my belly all the time. Even though I had elected for c section - it was a majorily good decision because she actually came out breech!!! I will do a birth story but will warn you that it wasn't good however she is worth every ounce of pain.
I have been struggling alot tbh. Her feeding is so random and up until this morning she would NOT let me put her down so she has been sleeping with me too which the midwives have advised me against but if it's the only way Rosie and I get sleep then I don't know what else I can do.
Congrats to all the dreamers who have had their babies since Tuesday. Good luck to those in labour and sending big fat hugs to those who are waiting for labour to start.
Hey hun good to c u - rosie is gorgeous!
as much as people seem to think a c-section is the easy option it really isn't - i didn't enjoy the experience tbh - my bp kept dropping due to the spinal which had me retchingm, feeling hot and faint, then ailsa got stuck so i had excessive pushing and pulling, and then i started bleeding excessively so had the whole team in super efficent mode trying to find and stop the bleed!!! and all that before u get to how much it hurts to move, cough, sneeze or blow yr nose for the next week or so!!!
and i know how u feel with the hole not being able to put her down thing my first was like that, thankfully he would sleep in his basket at night but during the day he was completely unsettled and i couldn't do anything but sit and hold him! one piece of advice i would give u is to get out to baby groups as much as u can - staring at the same 4 walls with a newborn that won't let u put them down is soul destroying!
if theres any advice or anything u want to talk about hun please just pm meand i promise she will settle, u will get into a routine and it will get easier
excuse the poor typing - i'm trying to do this one hande while feeding ailsa!!!
(TMI I know!!!) and the fact that I was stuck in the house as I couldnt drive was really weird............ but luckily I had agreed that my MIL would visit every day so that I could get some sleep or a shower - and the midwife/insurance company have said that I can drive now, but its snowing really hard now!!!!
