Due In May :)

[Jary]

Oh Hann, I hope they do give you good news but like you've said before there isn't really any indicator about when labour will start so even if you aren't dilated or effaced now doesn't mean you won't be by tomorrow!

Lol I was going to say my belly had gone to normal shape but now I'm getting a BH so its gone all weird again...felt tighter at the bottom of my bump too. They are happening more often so I hope my baby is getting ready to launch me into true labour soon.

Luckily he or she has moved about a bit more. Mainly stretching and head butting my cervix which isn't pleasant lol but at least I'm getting more of the usual movement. Wouldn't have liked to have called the midwife and go in to get checked! Don't need the worry!

Oh congrats nearly she is beautiful

It certainly sounds promising BellaRose really hope that little on is on their way now if not already here!

Hann I remember the last few days/weeks really well with Thomas I hope it won't be too long for you?

How is everyone, Powell, Jary, Pink, Hann ... anyone I've missed?

Today is my official hospital due date (yesterday was my due date by ovulation) and my little man is nearly 3 weeks old it's mad! Here's a pic I took this morning ... I think he's lost his newborn look already

Awwww Noah is such a little cutie! Makes me even more eager to meet my little person even if he or she is overdue, it's not long at all until we meet he or she.

Is Noah feeding better now?

 

[MissMummyMoo]

It won't be long Jary ... A maximum of 3 weeks! Do you have any inklings as to what gender it is? Do you have names choosen for both genders?

He's feeding much better thank you. He tends to snack during the day taking 2oz every couple of hours or so but he tends to go 9/10pm-2/3am and 3/4am-6/7am so we can't really complain! X

 

[Jary]

I think it's a boy but OH thinks its a girl lol. It'll Samuel Keith for a boy and Alice Eloise for a girl....unless we really don't think baby suits it when he or she is born!

Those night feeds are good! Glad he seems like such a placid baby. He certainly looks to be doing really well! Send him cuddles from me! I love baby cuddles, I keep telling mine I want some soon!

 

[MissMummyMoo]

They're lovely names, it won't be long till you find out Yeah that's the thing with choosing a name before they're born but I'm sure he/she will suit those names

Baby cuddles are the best come on baby you need to listen to mummy! x

 

[Hann12]

Lovely names Jary!

Love the Noah pics!!

Reflexologist said I'm not ready to go into labor and is pretty sure I'll get my appointment on Monday with the mw. I'm booked into see her on the weds again. Bit rubbish!!

 

[MissMummyMoo]

hun, she may be wrong, you never know when these baby's will turn up! X

 

[Hann12]

I hope she's wrong but suspect she's not. I always had in my head that it would happen around 16th as that was my original due date before they bought be forwards. Just rubbish to think I could have another week feeling like this.

 

[Jary]

Hann that baby might just decide 'hmm I'm bored now, I'll come out' before you expect it too.

I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for you. I'm annoyed as it is at having to sleep on the sofa...I can't tell you how much I miss my bed!

I'm sitting reading a book this afternoon but my eyes are so heavy! May need to have a nap lol

 

[Hann12]

Jary I hope so! I mean how exact can rubbing someone's feet be to predict labour?! Only time will tell though. I'd get the nap in if I was you. I just had a 45 min snooze too.

 

[Jary]

i didnt have a nap in the end...got into Maternity Ward and Desparate midwives again lol

i can't decide what to do now tho. I keep thinking about reading my book, then just watching tv but then i keep thinking about our 6 monthly flat check by the agency tomorrow and they havent said what time so i should really be tidying up..the flat is ok but could do with extra tidying...its irritating me but i guess that's the nesting. Only thing is is that i do feel tired but keep thinking its bad for me if i just sit around.

Does anyones bump get sore and tender underneath? now that we have a full length mirror in our bedroom ive been trying to have a look at it but it looks fine. Feels weird too lol

OH rang me when he was on his lunch and said he was talking to some of his colleagues about the baby and mentioned that he or she had been quieter than usual, but still moving enough. He said they then told him they had the same thing a couple of days before labour started! Gave me a bit more hope haha

Hi everyone, I've been gone for a while because I've been very busy with my new daughter, Rachel, who was born on Sunday May 5 at 9:04 am. She came 6 days before our due date, and my birth story is pretty interesting, a lot of people say. I was induced supposedly after my water broke on its own at home at midnight, and I ended up going from 1 to 10 cm in about an hour. The pushing lasted 15 minutes. Supposedly I'm something of a special case.

The baby ended up being a pretty small baby in weight, just under 6 pounds at 5 and 15 oz. But her height was 19 inches. The doctors all said she was perfect, even though I was concerned because she's so skinny. That she has so little body fat is probably a result of all the swimming I did, and is most likely a good thing. Her health is perfect, and that's what I cared about the most. She passed all the tests with flying colors and is home with us now.

We opted to stay 2 days in the hospital (and I forgot my laptop) since DH and I are so new to this and wanted to be sure we had everything down. We even met with several lactation consultants and got the whole breastfeeding thing down! I'll warn everyone that BREASTFEEDING IS REALLY DIFFICULT. We have been spending a lot of time on it, but Rachel can latch and being that today is her 4th day, she will probably start gaining weight by tomorrow. She does need her diaper changed with the black goopy stuff, which means we know she is eating well.

Good luck to everyone else. I can't wait to hear from other people who are having their babies this week. I know a lot of people probably will be.

I'm nervous with you! I go in tonight!! Kinda freaking out over here

 

[Jary]

Good luck with tonight Powell and good luck for Friday Robinson!

Just wondering what to do here...baby is moving but there are longer periods between movement and when he or she does move they aren't as strong as usual....think I should give someone a call?
