End of May 2013 babies CONTINUED..

Hahahahah not very strong yet, but strong enough! See what is going to happen. I'm staying in though. Not allowed to go home after having the pessary inserted. X
 
oh how exciting! I bet things will really start to pick up soon. can't wait to know if it's a boy or girl :)
 
Quick update: I'm in labour!! Waters broke, on the gas & air and waiting to be taken down to the delivery suite :)
 
Hi ladies, sorry for the stupidly early post but as I'm
Awake an Louis is passed out thought I'd pop on and see how were all doing.
Pebbie how's things with your induction. I've got my fingers crossed so tightly that it doesn't end up in a c-section! Come on baby!!!! :) super excited to know what you're having too!

Afm- I'm finally at the local birthing center ( drs woulnt discharge me because of fainting and bruising) and the difference in Louis, myself and the level or care is insane. I wish things had been different and I could have had him here. The midwives are amazing.
I was so determined to be discharged from bath that I forced myself to get up and keep moving but it's been very hard. All the bruising from vomiting has made even standing up straight hard.
Clh- it took an hr for someone to come to take me to the bathroom! Then whilst I was in the loo they went on their break and I couldn't get off the loo very well. I'll spare the details but Dh was livid as I was a state when I got back to him. They also forgot to give me my meds last night. The second night was the worst. Louis is cluster feeding and badly, I'm really struggling to attach him correctly and when he's hungry he screams until he's hysterical. I just broke down and dh had to beg to be allowed to stay as I couldn't move and had extra ivs etc plus Louis wouldn't be put down or settled at all. Before coming to Chippenham I hadn't slept more than 5 mins in 5 days or eaten or drunk anything that stayed down since before the op.

Fast forward to now and I'm
Slowly getting the hang of feeding, I've showered, had all my meds on time and I've slept!!! The midwives here took louis to settle him so I could sleep for a while and it's really helped. They come in everytime he feeds so I can practice latching on and they changed him, winded him etc so I could eat and shower etc. tonight is the first night without him being in a constant frenzy. I'm thankful the drs in bath were good with the surgery and Louis is here safely but I don't want to go back there.
 
Hope its going well pebbie.

Zfbaby, I am glad the birthing centre is better.
 
Zf that is brilliant. It is ridiculous how understaffed the hospitals are. When you are out write a letter stating the facts about your aftercare - it is the only way things will improve. They keep making cutbacks nd assume the wards are coping but they really aren't.

How long will you be in the midwife unit?

Yay pebbie! Yellow bundle turned........?
 
Zfbaby - glad the birthing centre is better, which centre Is that ?
Did they let your oh stay the second night ? It is crap how understaffed they are and the women could of waited while u went a wee and went on her break after!

Pebble - hope things are going/gone well!!
 
Yellow bump turned ......... BLUE!
Markus Campbell was born at 6.39am, exactly
2 hrs and 39 minutes after it all started properly! He weighed 8lbs 8oz and is 57cm tall!
It was very very painful bit I did it on gas & air and he was out before I knew it! He's already had a feed and is fast asleep now and he's just perfect!

Ahhhhh!!! He is soooooooo cute! Congratulations x how did you find the birth compared to Marielle?

A lot harder and more painful! Maybe because it went so quick or maybe because I was sleep deprived with Marielle and high as a kite lol. But it went dead quick though. I'm now starting to get tired and were just waiting to be brought up to the postnatal ward :)
 
I have to say that it does make me wish I hadn't seen boy bits at my scan making me give in and get DH to confirm it the next day. Team yellow seems exciting!
 
another beautiful little boy!!! good job pebbie & congratulations :) ooh i'm getting so excited to find out if my baby is a boy or girl now hehe.

zfbaby i'm so sorry you went through all that but it sounds like you're in a lovely place now. I agree with passion on the letter!

3 babies... who's next?? :)
 
babyface, I think you and CHL are next in closest to your due date now. It will be nice for another yellow bump to come along.
 
It was amazing as my his and told me it was a boy. I was on my knees hanging off the backrest of the bed hahahaha . I couldn't believe it when he said it was a boy! And my hubby cried awwwww
 
my due date is in two days :happydance: I had been hoping all along I'd have the baby today, so please send me some labor inducing vibes lol. though it doesn't feel like anything is going to happen this weekend. clh might have a better shot at going next where its her second
