Yes Sammi had her baby - check page 1 hon

Congratulations on your lovely little girl sweetheart. She is just lovely.

Ness, sweetheart -dont know what to say - at the VERY worst you have less than a week left now.

Had a goodish day - no signs of any labour here.

Googli on water birth!!

Mizze xxx

Thank you Mizzie, i always thought she was a girl but had a feeling my yellow bump was going to be a born so happy its a little girl she has more dress's than me already

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!

Congrats to you aswell, did you have your wee one on 23rd aswell?

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

Thats just how i feel like im going to hurt her every time she needs dressed or changing her nappy, Getting used to it tho she hasnt cryed just a wee moan now an again, so i no im not hurting her, We have about 3 outfits that dont drown her to much, my twin sister bought her, her first pair of jegins (jean/leggings) they where abit on the big side but looked super cute in them.

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

Congrats to you what a lovely x-mas pressie for you and family

for those of you not on FB: this is miss elaine at not even 24h old. i did find another xmas-sy outfit in the closet btw., so this is what she's wearing here. had completely forgotten about it... so it paid off that i returned the other one.

mizze, i have no clue if it did pay off with being so active, but considering that she wasn't even engaged when i went into labor and the length and progress of pushing makes me at least believe so a little

what paid off way more was how i chose to give birth. my friend who was supposed to be my birth partner had her D&C for her miscarriage the morning of 12/23. of course perfect timing for my LO wanting to arrive. i decided to leave her alone as i felt she needed to concentrate on her loss and medical procedures. so i did most of the birth process on my own with just the midwife and the last part also with a student midwife and a friend of the midwife who's a massage therapist and who she called in, as that woman is a stronger lady and my midwife is in wheelchair, so she thought i might need someone to lean on etc.... i ended up not needing the lady, so she snapped pictures and i'm soooo grateful i've got even "those" shots that i thought, i never wanted to see. simply beautiful although obviously not pretty...

by being just me and the staff, i was completely one with my mind and body. nobody i had to worry about (especially about what they would think of my interesting sounds) and my focus was 10000% with everything that was happening. contractions were nothing like i thought they'd be. they were bearable for those 14 hours and i loooooved the breaks inbetween, were i acted like a normal person and nobody thought i was in labor. i never experienced the "transition" stage, which i believe is due to the fact of how "together" i was. everything just felt so right and normal

well, before this becomes my birth story i'll shut up now and watch elaine instead, as she's on my chest asleep.

You need to ring them hun, You have a time frame in which you need to give birth before there is a serious risk of infection for LO. Mine went over 48 hours before i had her and she had to have a canular put in her hand so she could have iv antibiotics twice a day. Wasent nice to watch

 

[Pixxie]

Congrats to the new mummies.

Ness not long now love, hang in there

I'm exhausted, Lyra now wakes for feeds every 2-3 hours and feeds for up to an hour so I havnt hit 'deep sleep' for over a week. It's getting me down quite a bit, OH can't help becuase I'm breastfeedin so I just have to struggle through. He does other stuff but it's just the nights I need help with

I got through in the end, and i did the if the pads soaked in half hour test thing.. it wasnt soaked but it wasnt dry either. when i rang back after half hour she said just keep an eye on it and have everythin ready just incase.
so who knows it might not be too much longer
OH has gone out tho, so if they do go, he best stagger home rather fast otherwise me and my dad will be leaving without him lol x

When i was having contractions it was all in my back, i actually found making weird moans and groans helped me through the pain
My dad took my an OH up at hospital i didnt no i was 8cm as it was the 2nd time id had to go up that day i couldnt stick the pain any longer, but my dad kept saying you can scream if you wont cause i was moaning in the back, i didnt tho, kept thinking id scare him half to death

 

[YoungNImum]

Ducky id say dec dreamers have the cutest babies?

 

[GoogilyBear]

ive no pains whatsoever and i really wish i did. gunna go lay on sofa with the tin of roses with a blanket and see if relaxing helps while OH isnt here

 

[lozzy21]

Mine was all in my back, dident have any contractions at all untill i was 8/9cm

[YoungNImum]

Awk she is lovely, still got her chubby cheeks so cute!
I could feel the contractions from when i was 1cm and that was the first time i went to the hospital abit pissed of that i was only 1cm an had to be sent home, altho when i went back the 2nd time i was 8cm and it was so sore the sounds i was making was Odd and i was very vocal i didnt care tho, OH was brillant tho couldnt have done it without him, we both looked at each other an cryed when she was placed on my chest.

 

[lozzy21]

Oh cryed when she was born, i think it was more from panic when 15 people rushed in the room, manhandled me and puller her out

 

[ducky1502]

I felt my contractions from BEFORE I even started to properly dilate. It's amazing how labours differ. I felt every last contraction from the beginning to the end and was in agony from the very start lol.

 

[Nessicle]

Aw Niamh looks gorgeous Lozzy!

Ive managed 3 hours sleep with 3 toilet trips I'm exhausted I just want this baby out now! 10 days over now I'm so depressed!! No signs, no discharge, nothing!

Hope this damn sweep works today! No doubt I'll get told my cervix is still posterior and it only admits a finger still.....

Begging to be induced on weds at latest x
