Omg I love his name. CONGRATULATIONS! Can't wait to hear all about it. We were wondering if you were at hospital etc... Thanks for posting.
Hope you go home soon.

I wish this baby inside of my will make up its mind . Got back ache and cramps... Then NOTHING .. LOL X

 

[angieloo]

Lol- me too Steph! I had contractions yesterday morning and night and the nothing this morning, but now they're back. Not the outrageously painful kind, just prep ones, but I keep hoping they're going to turn into something, but no luck yet

 

[Flagirl]

Mummy and angieloo-
I feel your pain. I've had some randomly but they always go away! I'm in bed. I think I'm more miserable in bed than I am on couch I never thought I'd hate the night time and the bed. Lol. I dread it.

Question---I've become so thirsty all the sudden. Just started. Never ever before in pregnancy have I experienced this. I want any and everything...ice water, juice, gatorade etc.... It's un real how much I'm drinking.
Anyone know about this?

 

[Flagirl]

And...any suggestions on hospital bag?????? I have: toiletries, underwear, going home clothes, nightgown for hospital, robe.
For baby- several different changes of clothes in newborn and 0-3 months depending on her size and length, diapers, our wipes, blankets and swaddle blankets
For hubby- gym shorts, tshirts, underwear, jeans, polo, ( his toiletries in with mines)
Blankets and pillows with our names written inside.
A few snack bars, bottles of water.....

Anything else that I'm forgetting ... Feel free to add. I have no clue really . Will they have clothes for the baby during ouR stay ( she stays in room with us whole time ) and I just need to take going home outfit or does she wear onsies or sleep sacks I bring)

Just an update... Matthew was admitted to the nicu for transient tachypnea, but they are doing bloodwork to rule out pneumonia and sepsis just in case. It was a really hard day for me because I wasn't able to get around, but I finally was able to hold him a couple hours ago!!! Praying that he will be able to come join us tomorrow!!!

 

[angieloo]

We are also bringing a phone charger, cancers, camera charger, and for toiletries we are definitely bringing the face wipes- I use nutragena ones to remove make up, dirt and sweat

Also taking my breast pump so I can get help from the nurse

 

[angieloo]

Oh katie- I can only imagine how hard that must be! I hope he's with you soon!

[mummyofgirls]

Woahhhh ladies all popping now !!

kt. Thinking of you and your family . Hope lil man is okay!!

update on me ladies , had somemore pains and went to assment unit and they said that they are unsur if its a problem with my kidneys or my uterus is swollen . They think its more my uterus . Sent me home to get some rest, back in tomorrow for a ultrasound and possible induction If its my uterus..
the midwife said oh theres nothing that will solve the pain til the baby is born , I said great I gotta suffer for a while then could be another month if I go over . She came back 10min later and said docs are happy to induce if its my uterus !! Eeeekkkkkkk
update tomorro

 

[angieloo]

What an adorable name Ali! I have a friend that just named her son Maxwell too very cute

Steph that is exciting that they will induce you and not make you wait. When will the induction be?

I've been having regular contractions since 7 this morning and it's 10 here now. They are 10 minutes apart and just over 1 min long. They are painful, but not so painful that I can't talk and move around. They haven't been super regular - it'll be 8 mins, 6 mins, 10 mins, 12 mins, 6mins.
Really hope this is the start of something and not just my body doing the warm up.

They feel like stabbing period pains and like someone whacked me in the back at the same time - and my stomach gets really hard- do these sound normal to you ladies or strong Braxton hicks?

 

[mummyofgirls]

I have no idea Angieloo lol .. it was kinda a bit of a shock , just come in tomorrow when we call and have a scan then maybe induction , so could be tomrrow , although i think it will be long winded as im not efficiated and the neck of my womb/cervix is fully shut firm lol ...x

 

[angieloo]

So sad- my contractions stopped at noon and haven't been back.

I took a really long walk and I plan on going again tonight and DH and I will be hanky pankying again today, plus eating some more yummy pineapple. I did all those thing yesterday right before bed, so hopefully it will trigger the contractions again.

My DH is really pushing for a 4th of July baby. He's had his mind set on it forever- hopefully he's right!

Have you tried asking the doc? I mean cause they are coming and going must be something happening right ?? nothing more fustrating ! I had that with Amelia was contracting all night went to delievery suite in the morning and had an internal. and they said no i defo wasnt in labour i just needed to pass a stool !! little did they know cause i carried on contracting and she was here 12hrs later ahahha

 

[Flagirl]

Ahhhh nothing here! Except its 11 am and I'm already really swollen and my hands barely work.

Wonder hoe Ki ap, Canada and Ali are doing now? I think Ali is going home today based on what she said. I hope matthew is as well with kt. Looking forward to sn update frm her.

What's going on with everyone else?
I had some contractions/cramping late in the nit. Nothing regular etc... Blah!
I'm absolutely the most missable I've ever been. I've slowed to a crawl and I'm such a hurler energetic person. It's unreal.
I literally want to make a countdown calendar!!! Like one on paper that hangs up so everyday I can cross a day off bc I have no clue when she's coming I just keep pushing til July 20. I'm like a little kid I guess but I've got to have some. Motivation to get through it. Im starting t really hate life a lot. Kind of sad

Thats all I've got for now..... Hope everyone is having a good Monday

 

[Flagirl]

Wow! I just reread that. So many typos...why? Bc I'm on iPad and need my pillow so I can prop it up but I sat on couch without it and I'm too big and it takes way to much effort to get up and get it. Sorry

I meant wonder how kt and Canada and Ali......

Not a hurler energetic person ..i meant a hyper and energetic person.

 

[mummyofgirls]

NO!!!! spoke to a diff doc then the other day who has no idea what's wrong so I gotta sit t out .. Arghhh lol ...


2weeks today
