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

[hopefully2]

Ah Jenny thatsounds fantastic. Congratulations and happy christmas baby Elaine x

 

[Mincholada]

yay congrats courtney on your girl! i can only imagine how nothing fits her. considering my bigger & longer lady and she is even too big for the few newborn items i've gotten.

on the breastfeeding: my nipple was already sore after the first latch in the birth center. i have quite some boobies with 36 G & unfortunately more flatish nipples, so i was having some troubles, especially since madame does not want to let go of her hand and i need one hand to direct my boob into her mouth, one hand to hold her head and... yes, a third to get her hand away from her mouth, so that i can put boob in... lol

well, thank gooood, the lady that checked on me for the past 2 days is a lactation consultant. i had a lot wrong. didn't have elaine at the right height (with my torso i need a reg pillow & a boopy), then her body wasn't aligned right for feeding and i didn't "prepare" my nipples good enough before the latch. well, this woman talked tough & took my boob into "her hands". she pushed and pulled and squeezed and i was like WTF, buuut, it's been a whole other story since that and i get to latch my babe pretty good and can't wait for the milk to come in now

everything is just sooooo amazing. can't believe that two days ago that little thing was INSIDE of me... wow!


Ness, i feel awful for you! Praying that it will happen for you! I now feel your pain with swelling. Never seen my feet this big, but thankfully it's after the pregnancy and i could care less. You still cooking your LO, it just adds to the discomfort and being fed up. Soo sorry!

Well let's go you last December Dreamers!!! Fx's & lots of labor dust!

 

[Nessicle]

Thank you Jenny! I'm hoping she comes today -'have a feeling today is the day but knowing me I'll be wrong lol have another sweep booked for tomorrow and asking for induction on weds just in case she doesn't come - will be 12 days over by then!

Congratulations on the birth of Elaine you did so well!

 

[WILSMUM]

congrats jenny and courtney on the births of yr little ladies!!!
courtney she will grow quickly and will soon be too big for newborh nevermind tiiny baby clothes! Ailsa was 6lb 2oz and i thought she was sooo tiny and delicate i was worried i was gonna break her when trying to dress her and anything! newborn stuff was all much too big for her but now at 5 weeks old she feels a lot more sturdy, i can change her without feeling like i'm gonna break her and her newborn stuff is getting to be on the small side!!!

hope everyone had a good christmas and hope the rest of the dreamer babies decide to get a move on

 

[Nessicle]

9 days overdue and ready to kill someone.....

 

[Tierney]

Congratulations Jenny on the birth of Elaine x

Ness you really deserve to be next hope something gets going for you today hun x

Yay happy due date to me although I don't think baby will be making an appearance before the new year x

 

[Nessicle]

Thanks Tierney xx

Happy due date to you hope your bubba doesn't keep you waiting as long as my naughty girl!!

I've text my mw cos I can't remember what time she's coming to do my sweep tomorrow but have said I want inducing on weds - least there's only 3'days maximum then!

 

[Tanikit]

Ness - I think you have a real little lady in there - she's been told to keep everyone waiting - can you imagine what she'll be like when she has boyfriends one day? Not too much longer now though - hoing you go into labour soon or that the sweep works tomorrow.

 

[Nessicle]

Aw thanks sweetie well she definitely has everyone on tenterhooks waiting for her! I know she's not comfortable cos of her movements so wish people would stop saying that lol x

Morning All!

My ticker was counting down till today since that was my own guess at my EDD before my dating scan - technically it's 28th.

So won't be technically overdue till I'm in hospital - such a cheat, but I've got all sorts of risks going on, not to mention I have a feeling that this is one heck of a massive baby, blood sugar started getting a bit wild a week or so ago.

Just hoping really that the induction is effective, won't take 6 pessaries then end in c-section or something (like Natalie Cassidy - wish I hadn't watched that).

Originally I did decline the induction, but then I thought that was 4 weeks that baby could come in and it's been fully engaged for that long , anyway, with all the complications and stuff I did agree to it and it is nice to have a date to tick down till. We'll see what happens.

Ness, forgive me if you've said already but have you been given an induction date or do you wanna ride this out? I'm reaaaally hoping the sweep works for you...

 

[Nessicle]

No Mw not given menan induction date but asking for weds -mmy depression is starting to kick in cos I'm so unhappy and fed up surely my state of mind has to count for something! Losing hope that I'll start today on my own xx

 

[GoogilyBear]

Ness - All i can say is you have a little maddam there already, she will be one to keep the boys waiting when shes older hehe Hopefully it wont be too much longer, YOur deffinatly up next to have your LO, and nobody deserves it more then you do atm, your one strong lady for putting up with it for this long I really admire you So keep smiling

Few Niggles today, nothing more then that. Officially 1 day overdue :/

Still loosing what seems to be an alful lot of Plug, its so strange that there is so much of it :s but the niggles are back pain and that only lasts a few mins at the most and disappears for a while before returning.

Luck to Ness xxx

 

[Nessicle]

Thanks Googily really nice of you to say - I feel like a right moaning Minnie ATM I don't know how my OH hasn't walked out before now!

Really hope you girls don't go overdue too much as this is awful x

COngrats to younginmum and mincholada on the new babies !! how exciting !!
We had Noahs 2 week check today. he has gained 600grams since birth and has grown 4.5cm !!!! So our booby monster's feeding is paying off
He is changing so much everyday and his skin is slowly getting a little darker hehe Slowly we are getting to know his little personality too, which is one of a cheeky monkey ! Here is a more recent picture of him :
Hope you all had a wonderful xmas! xx

Hi just popping in to let you all know I had my daughter on Christmas Day at 4:51pm weighing 9lb 5 1/2 oz (supposedly 9 days overdue) but she was still covered in vernix so I think they have got the dates muddled! xxxxxx

 

[Nessicle]

Congrats Hun xxx I'm still sat here waiting and willing something to happen xx

 

[spencerbear]

Congratulations on Imogen.

Thinking of you Ness x

Oh how fab - and what a weight. A proper Christmas baby. Congratulations my dear.

Congrats Hun xxx I'm still sat here waiting and willing something to happen xx

Ness, at the very worst - grit your teeth till the sweep and then if necessary the induction - it CANNOT be long until you have her here. Keep that in mind - I know your depression must be very hard to manage at the moment sweetheart BUT its a matter of single digit days now, cling on to that thought.

Mizze xxx

 

[Nessicle]

Thanks Mizzen in my mind I know you're right but l feel in utter despair right now if I wasn't in so much pain I could cope just the combination of things! I truly hope this sweep works tomorrow! If she tells me I'm no more dilated and my cervix is still posterior I'll have a breakdown then and there lol she'll be booking me in for that damn induction that's for sure!

But you're right it's only days now the hard part is done xx

Hope you're ok xx

Hi girls, just thought i'd send best wishes to those still waiting to meet their babies, will keep fingers crossed for you all!

Thought i'd pop a picture of my little Harri on here, he's 12 days old now and fab! We had a scare a few days ago as he'd lost weight since birth (gone from 6.15lbs to 6.3lbs) and had bad jaundice so was admitted to hospital for treatment. Luckily they managed to sort it (feeding through a tube in his nose and light treatment) and they let us come home late xmas eve. He's a little fighter!
