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

[Nessicle]

Thanks girls I'm just glad I'm not on my own and my bump buddy is overdue with me lol Sammi sorry ha ha

Just been online to try do a food shop as the car has burnt out as OH never put anti freeze in the radiator like a tool and a radiator pipe has cracked so neither of us can get out, no delivery slots til next week!!

Got achy pains in my bum cos of the cocodamol bungs you up I'm struggling to poo!

I ended up opening my Xmas pressie from OH's sister to cheer myself up lol it's a gorgeous Mulberry purse totally love it!!!

Glad you're doing well Butterfly xx

Hey ladies

Hope you're all ok.

I really feel for the December Dreamers who are still waiting for labour to start. I'm sure it'll be real soon. Come on babies - Santa will be here in a few days!!!

Things have improved a little for me. Rosie was feeding every 2 to 3 hours in the night so I have managed to grab some sleep - she is having to sleep with me though. It has been really helpful to hear similar stories from my Dreamers mummies because I no longer feel like I'm on my own and doing something wrong.

I discovered yesterday evening whilst cooking tea that Rosie likes the sound of the extractor fan in the kitchen as she fell asleep!!! That is where she is currently - she has been asleep for an hour and I've not had to rock her once!! DH is going to argos to buy a baby soother - it plays melodies and natural sounds so hopefully if we put this in the moses basket - she will sleep in it at night!!! fingers crossed anyway!!

I really hope the remaining ladies get natural births because OMG - recovering from the section is sooooo tough

If yr finding the extractor soothes her you might find things like food processor, washing machine and hoover have the same effect - its all white noise and thats suppose to be really soothing for babies - didn't work with Wil but Ailsa isn't bothered by the hoover when shes alseep and in fect the other day she was laying in her moses basket happily awake when I started hoovering and by the time i'd finished she was sound asleep!!!

It's ok ness! I'm glad I'm glad I'm not overdue on my own too!

I managed 2 hours without painkillers to keep discomfort at bay would of tried to go a bit longer but want to try and take Rox for a walk

 

[YoungNImum]

For some reason im sick of eating? Really need to get up of my bum and let the dogs out for a run about but it freezing outside, and i should make a start on the ironing anyone fancy giving my a shove lol

 

[YoungNImum]

I don't even need painkillers Sammi that's how much nothing s happening lol

 

[Nessicle]

My feet and calves are triple the size at the moment they're painfully tight and sore and OH massaged them for me bless him got him to do the reflexology points on my ankles too to try trigger something!

 

[Tierney]

Sorry your having a bad time of it Ness, Hope I don't end up like that next week when I go over hun x Surely it can't be long now for you and Sammi, I was expecting to come on to one of you being in labour from your sweeps, fingers crossed for ya both x

I've just read my notes and the doctor at the hospital as put not to give me a sweep until term + 7 thats 02/01/2011 I want one before then if LO isn't here can't wait all that time! I'm guna ask the midwife about it on Thursday when I see her.

Hope everyone else is ok, lovely to hear from all the new mummies cant wait to be able to join in the chat about feeding etc

 

[sammiwry]

Tierney hopefully your midwife will do it as it's not as though it's majorly before the 2nd jan. I strongly echo ness's advice about taking painkillers beforehand though. I only took one, but will definitely be taking 2 on Thursday if madden doesn't make an appearance before then.

Mmm chinese sounds yummy, maybe abit of walking will help? I just sorted pooch's out cleaned there run and brushed them both, i no it may sound odd but i do think they know iv something inside ov me they behave extra good now

 

[sammiwry]

I know the walking will probably do me good but I just don't want to put myself in the amount of pain and discomfort I was in yesterday just for a 10 min walk rather leave it today and try tomorrow when it'll only aggreviate things and then I can get it back to a bareable state iykwim?

yea no what you mean, you dont wanna push yourself to much at this stage anyway.

 

[Tierney]

Will def remember the painkiller advise Sammi thanks!
Isn't it boring staying in all day at home! When I was at work I couldnt wait to start my maternity leave but now just feel like I'm waiting for something thats never going to happen lol x

 

[Nessicle]

Yeah request the sweep before Tierney! And defo take painkillers it does help

Sammi how you feeling? my tummy feels sore and gripey like I'm gonna get poos and having strong BH's making me feel sick bleurgh!

Gotta cook a curry too and cba!!

hi i have just quickly come on her just to say that i gave birth to my beautiiful daughter on 19th december. we have called her Adelina amanda lee and she weighed 9lb 3.5oz. we are both home and doing great.xx

 

[sammiwry]

Congrats sazhuddy!


Ness, im still really crampy but *think* ive just had a contraction, didn't feel anything tighten just had an intense pain across my whole bump and when it eased had an ache in my bum?


I'm hoping if i don't go before thurs the sweep again won't be as uncomfy as I'll know what to expect this time. I'm not ashamed to admit it, I shed a few tears yesterday when she was doing it.

 

[Nessicle]

I'm not allowed another sweep til Monday

My tummy feels really crampy gripey with tightenings it's making me feel sick don't want to read anything in to it buts it's started all of a sudden!
