Congratulations Donna, sorry you have such a tough time by the sounds of it, but as you say its all so worth it. I definetely think its true that its the worst pain the you can experience at the time but the quickest to forget and I'd def. do it all over again so dont worry you ladies that are still to got through it!
I look forward to seeing pictures, get some well deserved rest x

Kate, I was wondering how Harvey is doing? is he home from hospital?

 

[Leliana]

Congratulations Donna, I'm so pleased she is here! I'm sorry the birth was difficult

I saw the midwife yesterday and she basically said baby is fine, just happy in there. She also said the phrase 'ooh she's a good size' which has scared the bejesus outta me as I have to give birth to a baby that's getting bigger by the day!!

I have a sweep booked for tomorrow afternoon at which point they will book me for induction. It will probably be on Monday.

Just so gutted I am in this situation. I remember when my biggest concern was whether or not the birth pool would be free at the birthing unit...

Hello ladies!!

I see I have a lot of catching up to do... but first, CONGRATS Donna! I'm going to read about it all later as soon as I get the chance.

We just got home with our little boy Xavier, born December 11th I'll tell you the whole story later. Everything went well and we are completely in love with him. Here's a photo.

Congratulations gren!! He is too adorable!! Can't wait to hear you story, but for now glad you are enjoying time with your new bundle of love. I hope you are't too sore from birth! I was hoping you were at the hospital when you got quiet here.

 

[Justkeeptryin]

Greenouille, congratulations to you. Xavier is absolutely beautiful and what a head of hair he has, I love babies with lots of dark hair its so cute. I look forward to seeing more pics and hearing all about it x

 

[Leliana]

Oh Grenouille, he is absolutely gorgeous! Perfect! I am so pleased it went well!

Update on me: I had my sweep yesterday and it was nowhere near as bad as expected. I am fully effaced and starting to dilate so she was able to do the sweep no problems. She touched my baby's head which was really weird but also very cool! I am booked in for another one on Sunday and then my induction date is Monday morning. She has high hopes I'll go into labour this weekend though so fingers crossed. Still holding out hope for my water birth I had my bloody show this morning!

 

[Justkeeptryin]

Leliana, it sounds good that things may start progressing for you this weekend, especially after your sweep and you've had a show.
If not at least you know that they will likely induce you on Monday and you know that you'll def. have your baby girl that day when induced, it will bring it on faster than normal which is a good thing.

 

[Donna_barnes]

Gosh I so want to start writing my birth story but having the energy to brush my teeth at the minute is hopeful! How exciting that everyone is slowly popping one by one!! Hopefully this link will show you some photos though?? https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151144432717651.434189.608112650&type=1&l=f1a242194e
Didn't know how to upload photos the other way?
Hope you are all hanging on, those still pregnant. Those last two weeks are worse that the 2WW!!! Xxx

 

[grenouille]

Beautiful baby Donna!! Congrats again

Donna I understand! There's just so little time in a day now..! Half of my time is spent nursing..

And thanks everyone! We are so in love with Xavier.

Thank you sweetie! Lots of backaches mixed with braxtons/tightenings this evening so something is going on. Mind you, I have had this before so trying not to get too excited. Either way we are nearly there!

Caitlyn Elizabeth, born at 6:13am 12/14, 9lbs 6.5oz, 21 3/4" long after about 6 hours labor. So grateful I got to have my natural birth although it wasn't in the water (too fast!) Will tell the whole story when I get more time but here are some pics

 

[grenouille]

Congrats Crancherry!! Caitlyn is adorable!! Glad you got your natural birth

 

[MightyMom]

Congratulations! She is too cute and so pudgy perfect!! I love the name Can't wait to hear the story!!

 

[crancherry]

Congrats to you too Grenouille! Xavier is precious

 

[Justkeeptryin]

Congratulations Crancherry, what a great weight Caitlyn was, and a natural delivery too at that weight...ouch, well done you.
I look forward to seeing more pics x

 

[Leliana]

Hi ladies!

Just a quick update to let you know my beautiful baby girl Taylor Grace was born yesterday on the 17/12! I went into labour spontaneously, at 3am just 5 hours before my induction was booked. She came into the world at 7.54pm weighing 7lbs 7oz (a nice weight considering she was 14 days overdue!!). It was a looooong and intense labour, very different to how I expected. When I am a bit more awake I shall share the birth story but all went well and I am totally and utterly in love.

 

[Justkeeptryin]

Leliana, congratulations that is fantastic news and I love her name. Isnt it weird how that happens to people they end up going into labour by themselves before a scheduled induction.
I cant wait to see the pics.
Labour is a hard thing to explain isnt it..the way you said it wasnt like what you expected, I was the same.
At the time its the most intense sensation /pain but afterwards you would do it all over again as its sooo worth it!

Im not sure if thats everyone on here had their babies now?

 

[MightyMom]

Congratulations Leliana!! That's great that she decided to come on her own. I hope you're resting up and enjoying hun, I'll update the front page.
