Awwww zfbaby. It'll come and you'll really enjoy it!
I'm too finding this breastfeeding malarkey really hard and all Markus has done is lost some weight. He's still cluster feeding at night and it drives me nuts as I can't put him down to sleep!!

So, the midwife came round for the day 10 check. She checked my bp and was sent straight to hospital as it was 173/105?!?. I wasn't even allowed to drive my car or wait for my GP to come round 2 hours later as I could have a stroke. Of course I ended up in floods of tears as my hubby is in France for work and my mum is at my house till Friday (she flew over from holland yesterday) and I've not seen her since February. What a mess :( So I've been sat at triage for the last few hours. They're monitoring my bp and it came down to 146/86 and now is at 161/88. I really really really want to go home today so please keep your fingers crossed as they think it might develop into eclampsia. Ugh such a mess.... :(
 
Oh my god pebbie!!!
I hope it comes back down and you can go home but if not its best you stay put. Have you got Markus with you or did your mum have to take him? Xxx
 
Hope everything is ok pebble ....

Having a few cramps here and there and losing some bloody plug ..
 
Hope all is ok Pebbie!
Good luck CLH hope things start moving :)

Marlee was weighed again today at 19 days old and is now 9lb 8 onz! such a little fatty! Can't believe Marlee is nearly 3 weeks old and there is still ladies waiting to give birth! x
 
Wow char, great to hear Marlee is doing so well!!!

The doctors kept me in overnight. I've got Markus with me and I'm back on the postnatal ward!
My husband is on a flight to Luton now and he's booked a hire car from there to drive home to Manchester. Bless him. I'm glad he's coming home though
 
just to give you an update girls. I've been in pre labor and early labor for days now. contractions every 15 mins or less but not forming a pattern. sometimes they lose frequency and intensity altogether. I'm so exhausted with it. I had a sweep yesterday and had strong contractions 6-10 mins apart for the whole day and night but they never formed a pattern. Today the frequency is less. I just had acupuncture and they're more regular now at 10 mins apart. If things don't get moving I'll be induced Thursday or Friday xx
 
Your poor hubbie- what a scary phone call. I hope you manage to get some sleep and get out of hospital soon. I bet it feels like you are going backwards.

Any news CLH?

Stay positive for a VBAC omi. Have they given you a final date to wait before getting baby out?

Good news about Marlee. Matilda was weighed today - she only gained 25g but at least it is a step in the right direction.

I know what you mean about being a bit scared of them zf. Matilda had a meltdown yesterday at feeding time but kept refusing the breast milk. As soon as I changed the bottle for formula she guzzled it. Interestingly when drinking breast milk she is hungry again really quickly and needs an oz of formula after. BM doesn't seem to satisfy her enough.

This baby lark is tough!
 
Nope no signs here
Still losing some plug that's bloody but that's it
 
Fingers crossed for you baby!! Hoping they start to really kick in now. Maybe more accupuncture will help?

Are you out yet pebbie? Any idea how long you will have to stay if not?

Louis and I attended our first bfing group this morning. We were the first there snd thr little blighter decided he was hungry so I sat and gave it a go on my own. He ate loads and then fell asleep for the whole session so by the time the consultants arrived he was sparked out and they couldn't watch me feed!!! He then woke up for a feed as we were all leaving! Will have to wait until next week to try again. :( it was nice to meet other mums though most of whom had similar problems.
Any chance of a group like thus is your area passion?
We found a great way to get him to sleep though. It seems he loves rock music, particularly Kiss! We've played it on a loop since we got home and he's been really calm. :)
 
Hope all is well pebbie.

Char, it seems like things are going really well. It is odd that you gave birth almost 3 weeks ago and I have just over a week to go.

Babyface and CLH it seems like it won't be too long for you both now. :thumbup:

Zfbaby, I am glad that it seems like things are improving.

I had a MW appointment today but nothing happened. I have not had an internal examination throughout the pregnancy although she said the consultant might try a sweep next week before going for the induction/c-section. My appointment is in 7 days now and I think there is pretty much zero chance of it happening naturally by then. I just feel really fed up of waiting now and I would have had him a week ago if I had just booked a repeat c-section which as much as I really don't want seems to be where I will end up anyway. They say with a VBAC they don't want you to go over 41 weeks but the overdue conversation is not until next Wednesday.

I saw a different MW today and she made a comment that he seems a lot bigger than DS1 was. I am not sure what they mean by big but I am wondering what I should expect now.
 
Not the greatest MW appointment today, my baby is back to back :-(
She doesn't want to book a sweep as she wants to give him as long as possible to turn before labour.
Induction is booked for June 8th if he doesn't come before.
That's still so far away :-(
 
Sorry Little Ducky. DS2 is in a twisted position but not back to back although they haven't said much about it. I know what you mean about waiting though, my appointment is on the 5th and it would be a couple of days after that before I got an induction/c-section and it is feeling like forever away.
 
If u have 1 more person say 'any twinges' il go mad ....

NO NO NO!! .... I haven't even had a single BH so I don't know why people think I'm going to get loads twinges .... LOL

As I posted this someone text me saying 'Lol baby not come yet x'

NO.

On a plus, my friend got me this today from next which I love!
 
Lol, yes I am getting a mix of 'any twinges yet?' and 'you should be at home resting'. :dohh: Irritatingly I have had BH's for 4 months now and yet hardly any in the past 3 days. I have had a couple of very mild BH's tonight but it was only set off by him moving in reaction to DS1 singing his made up baby song to my belly.

Cute jumper!
 
It's my due date today! I am having some BH's and he seems pretty low down again today but since I have felt like this plenty of times before I don't think it means anything.

My fingers are crossed for you! If you don't go by your appointment next week, can you still ask to be induced so you can have a vaginal birth, or will you have to have a section?
I'm trying so hard to get my baby in a better position, he's moved a bit but now I think his back is to my side - not sure if that's better or worse!
 
I'm not sure but I think I might have lost some plug?
Really sorry for TMI but is it a bit like snot?? (Sorry!)
