Good Luck Krippy!!! Can't wait to see pictures!!! Relax and breathe. You're LO will be here soon!!!

HCG went from 312 at 16dpo to 1536 at 19dpo! No more blood tests now. Ultrasound on Monday morning at 9am! I'm getting very excited now. Stick baby stick!!
 
Good luck for today Krippy, so excited for you :happydance::happydance:

Lala - Am loving the date 12/12/12!!!! Please dont worry about having a C-Section. Its been two weeks today and I would say that I am completely back to normal. I was out Christmas shopping yesterday! The actual procedure itself is very strange. I will be honest, I really didnt realise how major the surgery and I was very scared during the first part of the operation but once Harvey was out I completely forgot I was even in surgery. Unfortunatley my uterus wasnt contracting as it should and they gave me this horrible injection which helped it start contracting, this made me feel horrible and made me be sick about 4 times but they gave me a drug to counter react this and once I had that I was feeling much better. Once in the recovery room me and my OH were left with Harvey for two hours and I had some great skin to skin and feeding time :)

I was in hospital for two nights and this gave me time to get some great advise from the midwifes on feeding etc but I was so glad to get home and into my own bed as the wards are very noisy, try and get a private room if you can. Also try and get out of bed asap. They recommend to try and stand up and walk 9-12 hours after the operation. I had the section at 9am and was up and in the shower by 8pm that night. It wasnt as bad as I thought it was going to be and having a shower and putting on my own pyjamas felt like heaven!! One tip, make sure ytou have those really high wasted grannie pants as normal knickers will sit on your scar. Thay are not at all sexy but it means you not going to irritate your scar.

In terms of the recovery, just take it very easy for the first week or so. My OH was great and kept up with the housework, food shoppoing and cooking but as I am a tad OCD with cleaning by the 2nd week I was doing light house work again! Also just make sure you dont lift anything heavy. You can lift you baby but nothing heavier.

Please dont worry about it and if you have anymore questions just ask :)

Sorry I havent been on sooner, as you can imagine been super busy with little Harvey :) Am absolutely loving being a Mummy and still cant believe he is finally here. Breastfeeding is going very well and he is sleeping between feeds during the night so not feeling too sleep deprived as of yet!

Justkeep - How are you getting on with little Emelia?

Am so excited for all you ladies, not long now till you LOs are here :) So exciting
 
Glad to know you are recovering well Krippy.

And thanks for the advice. We never know who's going to end up having a C section.

Hope you are having a great time with Harvey!
 
Hi Kate!

Lovely to hear from you! I'm so glad motherhood is going well :) How exciting that you have been out and Christmas shopping! Thanks for the info about C-Sections, Grenouille is right, any of us could have one and it is good to be prepared. I'm really glad your breastfeeding is going well too as in my case this is something I am worried about. I really want to make it work :)

Hoping Harvey sends the rest of these babies a little mental nudge. I am so ready to meet my girl now! xxxxxxxx
 
Oh Kate I'm glad it is going so well!! How exciting! Now you have to change your ticker to reflect how old he is, I can't believe it's been two weeks already?! Thanks for stopping in to update, I know motherhood is kind of crazy the first couple of months. Enjoy little Harvey!
 
Well looks like I am still having a December baby. I have been in the hospital since 930am yesterday, my cervix was not favourable for my Dr. just to break my waters and start me on pitocin so they inserted cervadil which they will take out this morning and then re-evaluate where I am at. Fingers crossed the contractions and cramping I have had have done something down there because I am beyond anxious to meet my LO! Sorry I don't have any REALLY exciting news for you Ladies this morning! Might be another long and boring day but hopefully I will be in labour instead. I will keep you updated!
 
Oh that IS exciting!! You always said you thought you'd have a November baby but now you really will have a DECEMBER RAINBOW! Yay!!
 
Aww goog luck Krippy, hope you'll have your baby today :)

Looks like the rest of us are all having december rainbows! My due date is tomorrow but I have the feeling he/she will be late!
 
Cervadil did absolutely nothing so now I am booked for a c-section sometime this afternoon. I will update when I can...getting soooo excited I don't even care that I am not having a vaginal birth! :)
 
Oooh, not long at all then Krippy!! Best of luck, it will feel so amazing when your baby is in your arms! Really can't wait to see here all about it hon and see pics :)

I really thought things were kicking off for me last night but I was wrong. Keep getting weird crampy feelings but it's mostly where the baby moves and headbutts me. I am so done being pregnant now. Grenouille, I'm due the day after you and I feel exactly the same. I've spent 40 weeks gearing up towards this date and it's slightly gutting to be sailing past it :(
 
Oh my goodness Krippy you are gonna see your LO in no time. Best of luck to you honey and can't wait to hear back once you have felt baby in your arms. :hugs:

You ladies are so close now. Can't believe I will have 17 days left...:wacko: I am sooo ready now.
 
Hope you have your LO in your arms by now Krippy! :)

I didn't want to try it earlier but I think now is the time... I'm dancing to Gangnam style..! lol :happydance:

You realize now that you've said that you'll probably go into labor tomorrow right? The kiss of death is when you and the baby are both sick of pregnancy, LOL!

It only works if you're wearing sunglasses...:cool:
 
Yellow bump turned BLUE, Raif Shaheed, born today via c-section at 426pm. 8 pounds 9 ounces and mom and baby are doing well! He is on some anti-biotics for some spots on his lungs but we had a good long cuddle before bed this evening before he went back to the nursery! We are beyond excited and totally in love!

Congratulations Krippy!!!!!! Raif is absolutely beautiful :) glad it all went ok x x x
 
Congrats Krippy!! Raif is beautiful!!! So excited for you, and glad you are doing well :happydance:

Mighty Mom: I forgot the sunglasses... I guess that's why I'm still pregnant!! I kept waking up all night trying to feel if there was anything different with my belly.. I had some BH, but nothing more..

Oh well I guess I can wait another day, it's snowing here and the hospital is 50 min away.
 
CONGRATULATIONS Krippy!! He is beautiful!! Glad you are both doing well, I hope his lungs clear up with the meds. Love the name Raif!! So appropriate, he looks like a little Raif. :)
