Thanks Tom's, it does help the time pass much quicker.

Congrats Baby, second trimester is an awesome milestone to hit!

Congrats Annio on the birth of your little girl. Can't wait to hear more about her.

Go Morebabies! I hope that you have a quick labour and can't wait to hear about your little guy's arrival!

Not much new here, 37 week midwife appointment this evening.

 

[more babies]

Well just about 10 hours since my water broke and I'm 6 cms. This is about how I expected it to go. I ended up getting an epidural a little while ago because the back labor got to be too much. Although I am and have been having regular contractions they started pitocin to hopefully make them stronger to get my cervix dilating faster since I've only gone 3cms since I've been here. Time to hurry up and wait!

 

[Toms Mummy]

Yey morebabies! I hope its smooth sailing now youve had the epi x

Thanks noo, i am low risk but was sent to hosp after my app today as i mentioned less movement and there was a dip in the heartrate so went in to be monitered for a bit. Luckily everythings okay but midwife had booked an app for 32 weeks instead of 24 just to check up x

 

[Toms Mummy]

I cant think of anything for back pain except maybe atretching the hamstrings for sciatica?

Ah massive congrats Annio!! Can't wait to see a piccie.

And yay morebabies!! Hope all is going ok and can't wait to hear news!

Ooh these babies being born is getting me very excited!

 

[Buttercup2]

hi ladies, will do proper post/catch up when i can but just wanted to let you know, my yellow bump turned out to be... pink! Grace Elizabeth arrived at 21:21 on friday, 9lbs 12 and perfectly healthy. She's just amazing!

Congrats Annio!! I'm looking forward to hearing your birth story and more about your little girl.

Go MoreBabies! I hope the pitocin gets things moving. Can't wait to hear about your little man!

Tom's, I'm really glad everything is ok with your little girl.

I've been doing a lot of reading about labor. I just can't get enough! I definitely want to hear everyone's birth stories as they happen!!

 

[Toms Mummy]

Thanks Buttercup, how are you feeling?.... I really like reading the other birth stories on this site x

 

[Mrs. Eddie]

Tom's and Buttercup, I love reading birth stories too, can't get enough of them at the moment. I also feel like I'm almost "training" for labour in a sense, with my exercising, walking, time on the exercise ball, RLT and now EPO. I've also printed off some positive affirmations that I have been reading to try and hype myself up.

Had my 37 week midwife appointment last night. Went well, Isla looks good and is still in good position. I am measuring on track and when we listened to her heartbeat we could also hear her hiccuping on the dopler, it was too cute.

I can't believe that I am full-term as of today and by tomorrow I am going to be able to say that I will have a baby this month.

I hope Morebabies has had her LO by now. Can't wait to hear all about it and see pics of the little guy!

Mrs Eddie, my yoga teacher said that if you circle your hips in labour it will knock an hr off your labour! .... worth a shot!

Couldn't agree with you more, I'll be using a hula hoop during labour now

 

[Toms Mummy]

thatd be a sight!.... She also said that in late pregnancy when babys head is down that its okay to do squats as it opens th. Pelvis more and aids baby to move down, meaning that theres leas likelihood of them flipping x

 

[Mrs. Eddie]

That makes sense, am already doing squats on a daily basis

 

[more babies]

Sorry for the late update.. and this will be quick but our baby boy arrived July 30th at 5:23pm and weighed 7lb 8oz. It was a long 15 hour labor with 2 hours of pushing. It was the most difficult pushing I have ever done even though DD2 was bigger and I was pushed almost as long with her. Starting to feel slightly less sore today but its still hard moving around. Our baby boy is doing great and we will be going home today and I'll post a picture in the next few days! I haven't caught up on the thread but I hope everyone else is doing good and I'll catch up later!

 

[Mrs. Eddie]

As I said on the other thread Morebabies, I am so happy for you. It doesn't sound like the pushing aspect of your labour was ideal but you must be beyond thrilled that he is here now. Can't wait to see pics!

 

[Toms Mummy]

So pleased for you more babies, so lovely to have your boy here! I hope you can take it easy over the next couple of weeks to give yourself time to recover x

 

[iow_bird]

congratulations morebabies!!!!

 

[baby1wanted]

Yay morebabies!!! Massive congrats and welcome to the world little boy. Can't wait to see a pic and hope you're doing ok

 

[Buttercup2]

Congrats morebabies!! Welcome to the world baby boy

 

[Toms Mummy]

Grr I am struggling to sleep atm!.... I toss and for ages, finally get to sleep and then our little boy comes in to our bed taking up all the room I moved in to his room last night. If I don't sleep I'm so grumpy the next day!

I am enjoying my pregnancy besides there lack of sleep! I'm also trying to savour it as it will be my last

How's everyone else feeling?

 

[Mrs. Eddie]

Tom's do you have a pregnancy/body pillow? One of the best investments that I made for this pregnancy and I am still sleeping well because of it.
