February 2013 Love Bugs

[Jembug]

Oh and Fides, lol, lots of hugs xx

Ive been having mild contractions for about 3 hours or so but they seem to be tailing off now. Just left a big horrid dull ache in my back. Stupid body teasing me

oh no!!

I've just realised my baby will be a double figures baby now- didn't think that would be happening!

me neither - i was convinced i'd be having a January baby.

Well, everything stopped! My baby is playing funny games!

this is getting crazy - we certainly have some naughty babies in there.

So I tried DTD last night in the hopes that it would work it's magic like my last 2 pregnancies and I would wake 4 hours later in labour. What happened? I am awake now (4 hour later) and all I have is a super sore pelvis

 

[Jembug]

wiggler! Think this thread should be re named stubborn love bugs!

I admire you all dtd, don't think I've dtd for about five weeks? The longest time ever! Shaun has already mentioned how excited he is to 'get started' again! Ha

Hi all!

Been trying to walk and stay on my feet today since I got that sweep yesterday. So far just really achy down there and I did have some old blood type spotting tonight with some clear discharge? Is bloody show supposed to be more like new bright red blood? I am thinking it's just from her doing the sweep...anyhow still super itchy and the antihistemine didn't really work as well as I'd hoped. Still woke up itching. Rash is as bad as ever. Looking like we'll induce this week if nothing happens overnight/tomorrow.

Had a fun date night with the dh to a brazilian steak house and then went to a movie probably our last one kid free! Only bummer was I had to put real clothes on for it and now I am itching like all get out.

Off to see if I can talk dh out of some prostaglandins night!

Perpetual - how are you doing in the storm? Everything ok?

Got snowed in, lost power, AND had he stomach bug yesterday. Got power back on tonight while I slept for 4 hours (now almost midnight and I'm wide awake here). Feeling much better, but was terrfied because I had contractions all day yesterday while I had the bug and could not see myslf laboring through THAT! Went to my OB yesterday morning before I got sick, and she did a check, 2 cm 50 % effaced-which is better than I have been with any of my others at this point. Lots of pressure and what I think has been it of plug today. Took a long walk in the 2 plus feet of snow hoping to encourage her out. (so tired from that trek that I went to bed at 7 pm!) Loving that I am getting lots of contractions again, and hoping to deliver before next Friday (They're expecting more snow later next week? Our street is still not plowed-would have to walk to get to an ambulance. Can't even get in my car never mind drive it. I bet DH would find a way out though as opposed to breaking out th shower curtain and towels).
my OB was so excited at my progress she forgot to schedule my NST and fluid checks, maybe because I had a good minute plus contraction as she approached to do my internal. She seemed so confident it would be soon-I think she was worried about me having the baby during the blizzard and getting all her patients seen before the storm got bad.

awww, sorry the meds didn't work, but glad you got in a nice date night. my bloody show from a few weeks ago was bright red and a lot of it, but i am sure there's no standard for what's normal in a show.

 

[PerpetualMama]

congrats to all the new mums!! I had about 2 hours of reading to do when I finally sat down to it...lost power only 28 hours ago, what a thread!
Hope all you overdue ladies pop tonight! Would be great to wake up to that

Future...glad to see you back on and that Lilly is doing so well! When my son was born at 9 lbs 15 oz they put him next to a 5 lb baby and people thought he was 3 months old! My ex DH used to take our kids one night very other weekend and that was only after over a year of coaxing him to do it. Now that they're bigger and he's not with the....hmmmm, "lady"..... he was with back then, he has turned into a proper dad (of course it is 11 years since we split). I hope your ex straightens out for the kids sake. I know how frustrating it can be

 

[gflady]

Ooo, pm sounds like things are happening! Hope you're recovered from your bug. X

Gosh, we do have a bunch of stubborn babies! I'm all over the place- sometimes I think I need another week before baby arrives other days I feel entirely fed up of being heavily pregnant and just want to get on with it! oh and I've lost the ability to sleep beyond 5:30, regardless of how tired I am!

Hope we get some more love bugs today!!! I'm in single digit countdown now

 

[gflady]

TNT sorry about the terrible rash still! Sucks. Hope your show means baby'll get a move on X

 

[mrsswaffer]

Woo for single-digit countdown, gflady! That's me tomorrow. I have got 10 days 'til 40 weeks!

No news to report here. Just that I was unable to poo yesterday, but went at about 2am last night! Haha!

 

[smileyfaces]

WHAT?! No babies born over night?! Tssskkkk!!!!

Hope everyone is well today. My contractions seem to have completely stopped Will be going for a nice walk later to try and coax them back xxx

 

[embo216]

no baby here either

 

[Wiggler]

These babies like to make us wait eh?

Em, on the plus side you can enjoy your roast now

 

[embo216]

That's what I'm thinking Sash! mmmm she's doing lamb and pork. Plus hopefully it means someone else can stop the kids killing each other for a few hours

 

[mrsswaffer]

Ahh, a roast would be so nice. But I'm on my own until 6pm, so it'll be scrambled eggs on toast for lunch today!

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

Well, everything stopped! My baby is playing funny games! Hopefully the S&S will be offered on Monday!


Hope you ladies are all okay, I want a baby born by tomorrow! Get pushing!

haha same here, I was constipated all day but then had to get up in the night. Very exciting news haha. I was a bit disheartened yesterday that my body was not clearing out but the opposite!

no baby here either

Hurry up little man, we will be having words

That's what I'm thinking Sash! mmmm she's doing lamb and pork. Plus hopefully it means someone else can stop the kids killing each other for a few hours

Yeah, love it when someone else helps out. Enjoy the roast. Everyone says baby comes when your most relaxed. Well I am not relaxing much. I am stressing about everything and with looking after the kids I really dont think I will actually relax. Im going to be pregnant forever LOL

 

[BeccaxBump]

No babies? Stubborn babies!

Hope you ladies are all okay .
