December Snowflakes 2015! Come join me 74 ladies, 10 angels, two sets of twins!

[justplay91]

Oh yes, everything is fine with both of us. In most places in the US, hospitals will keep you for two nights after your labor. When they offered me the chance to just spend the one, I got pretty excited. I can't wait to get out of here!

 

[wishingonastar]

Ah I see!! That's good then

Stupid question and possibly TMI but how can you tell if your waters are leaking? I'm 38 weeks today and feel really damp. I had a panty liner on and i still had a wet patch on my knickers. No pain just feel damp and am not sure if I'm being paranoid because I'm aware of the fact that it could be my waters? Xx

Well, my water broke at 11:30pm last nite. One big gush followed by a constant trickle. Got contractions almost immediately. Lisa will be here soon!!

Waters are see through with slight yellow or pink tinge and have a medical sort of smell so give it a sniff

Congratulations wishing!

 

[Leann83]

Ah so many babies!! Congrats wishing and just play!! Hope you got on OK knees!! Best of luck ladywest, hope everything goes smoothly for you!

Due date today for me and not a thing happening 😔 Hoping to have sweep on Monday to get things moving!

 

[Rileys.Mammy]

Rang the midwife and went down to be examined. They didn't need to examine me as they could see from my knickers and pad that it's defo my waters as the tiny amount is now loads and I'm sat on my sofa in wet trousers on top of a bin bag and towel lol. Got to ring the hospital at 7am to see if there's a bed as I'll have to be induced tomorrow. Bit of upper back pain but no other pain as of yet xx

 

[2ndtimeAbz]

Ooh good luck Rileysmammy!
Youve prob alteady had loads of advice, but from ecperience id say make sure you get some decent food and some rest. I was induced after my waters went with my first and I was so anxious/ had no idea how long it would take and didn't prepare properly, which I paid for later on.

Congrats wishing!

Wow can't believe how many babies are arriving already! Also can't believe I'm still pregnant, I'll almost a week further along than with #1

 

[K8te]

Congratulations to all the ladies currently in early stages!

So much excitement on this thread at the moment

[Chimpette]

I had a sweep yesterday, and so far nothing is happening.

Got hospital on Saturday, to either be induced or another sweep. If sweep then they are talking about inducing on Mon or Tues.

Good luck to everyone, love seeing all the stories that babies are already here.

 

[blinker86]

The babies just keep coming...it's great!

My blood pressure was a little bit better today at my appointment and to my surprise, doctor said she would allow me to go until 39 weeks before inducing. However, since I've now had over a week to mentally prepare myself for induction THIS weekend, we decided to go ahead and move forward with that plan. Unfortunately, I'm only at 1cm and cervix is still high and firm, so we will be going to the hospital at 7pm on Sunday to have Cervidil administered. I'm hoping my body will respond well and things will go fairly quickly! I'm just ready to meet our little guy at this point!

 

[K8te]

Hope the induction is quick for you blinker. I think I would have done the same thing your situation, like you say you prepare yourself for something so it's better to go ahead with that plan.

[Willow82]

Good luck wishingonastar and justplay! Knees, any news?

Willow, I'm glad all is well, but damn! That's sounds dramatic. Are you home with baby yet?

I've been home for 3 days with lil man, and my nipples hurt, and I'm ridiculously sleep deprived, but OMG I'm so in love!

We're home but finding feeding really really hard. She can latch but it's quite painful and despite seeing breastfeeding support workers in hospital we've still not mastered it. She also wants to feed constantly throughout the night and is refusing to go in her crib whenever she does sleep. I am beyond exhausted.

I've not been able to look at this thread so much as a result but wow, the babies are coming thick and fast and we're only a few days into December!

I just want to say massive congratulations to all those that have had their babies and good luck to all those whose previous bundles have yet to arrive.

 

[Babybump87]

Good luck ladies who have started off... I can't believe all our baby's are going to be born this month !.

Chimpette - I also had a sweep yesterday ... Nothing much happened just some cramping .. Keep us updated on any changes hopefully baby will come soon for you .

I Kind of hope baby holds on few more days now as I have caught a awful cold of my DD and she has a uti too ..not a good few days in my house !!.. Oh we'll hopefully tomorrow will be a better day..

Blinker - good news about your blood pressure. Hope your induction goes quickly and smoothly !!

 

[LillyTame]

Congratulations wishing!

Hubby said both midwives gave each other a knowing look and then one said 'I can see hair' so I asked if she meant mine or the baby's turned out I was fully dilated and head on way.

This made me literally LOL!

 

[Rileys.Mammy]

My little princess has arrived. 7lb 11.5oz at 8.34pm, exactly 2 weeks early xx

 

[Rileys.Mammy]
