Oh Cherry, how cute!! Harry hasn't had his first bath yet. I can't wait though - but I think he'll hate it. Haha!

 

[smileyfaces]

Great story cherry! She is adorable!

to newt and PM
Rem, i think posterior means back to back?

As for me, tried nipple stimulation in bed lat night and got some pretty strong contractions from it! But my arms were aching and I was very tired so I stopped. May try again today. Fnally hit the 39 week mark, this baby is more than welcome to come.

Hope you overdue ladies are holding out okay? Xxx

 

[mrsswaffer]

Wow, smiley, that's promising! I heard that you'd have to stimulate all day everyday for enough oxytocin to be produced for labour to start. You must already have pretty high levels! It could be any day now.

Baby jade had a brilliant night!! Horray. Seeing her in pain friday night was horrible.
Hope your all ok
I dont want to Bath her yet lol

 

[smileyfaces]

Ooh thanks Mrs Swaff that sounds promising! I was moving about in bed lying in different positions to see if it made a difference to my pains and no matter where I lay or sat the pains were just the same so that was good news!

MF, so glad Jade had a better night! Hope she keeps it up xx

 

[Jembug]

Sending lots od hugs Ruth, you have been through loads, I hope things pick up for you.

Midnight glad you had good night with Jade.

Ruby is waking twice in the night so it's good, she finally did a pooh after three days, was worried her bowels wasn't working.
I've dunked Ruby in the girls bath a few times and she loves it!!! Must be the water birth coz my girls screamed for weeks.

Shaun has gone golf today and I'm all alone with the girls, it's a nice day so I think I will take Ruby for her first outdoor adventure. Bit scared actually. What if I can't cope with all three? Eeek

 

[Jembug]

Oh and bloody come on babies, want you all to join the 'mummy' thread x

emily had her first real bath last night with her big brother. They both loved it. Although, she was hard to hold and very wriggly!!! lol!!

Today i'm starting my diet, as i have 3 stone to shift!!! 2 of them is baby weight and the other i was trying to lose before!!! Time to get the wii zumba out!!!!

 

[rem_82]

[smileyfaces]

Rem follow the link in my siggy!

 

[Wiggler]

Checking in quick, still pregnant, no baby signs *sigh*

 

[embo216]

Morning everyone Checking in too- no baby here! Day 11....

 

[BeccaxBump]

No babies?! What's going on! They are way to comfy for my liking...

Embo & Wiggler - your LO's best get a move on!

My cramps are once again, on and off. Annoying and frustrating. I give up...
xoxox

 

[embo216]

I've been loosing plug for days so I'm thinking my cervix must be doing something! I'm praying that it means they can actually do a sweep tomorrow unlike last week when my cervix was too closed I'm just going to walk my ass off after the sweep and hope he comes out before my induction

Smiley how are your contractions? I was nipple tweaking for hours yesterday, brought on some contractions but I got bored

Wiggler and Becca lets hope they come out soon!!!

PM I'm so glad you got to say goodbye and hope your little lady turns around soon!

 

[BeccaxBump]

Ooo! Embo! That sounds so good! Fx'd they can do a S&S! This is a very dragged out thing pregnancy huh?

I'm going to try sex tonight. If not I have my foot massage and long walk tomorrow, and sex again. We'll see...
xoxox

 

[smileyfaces]

I tried again this morning Em and had a few REALLY strong ones, I had to stop what I was doing and breathe through them! But they've just gone back to normal now, just relatively mild but regular contractions. My nipples are so sore now Dont think Im going to handle BF'ing

Really hope that your cervix is ready for a sweep tomorrow! I was totally closed at 7 days over and then at 12 days over I was 1-2cm so it can change!! Fingers crossed for you. What time is your sweep?xx

 

[embo216]

I have to look in my book again to find the exact time as Ive forgotten But I think it's between 1 and 2

 

[BeccaxBump]

Aw, smiley, hope you're cervix is good enough for a sweep .
xoxox

 

[Wiggler]

Em - It definitely sounds like your cervix is doing something, fingers crossed for a nice successful sweep

Becca - Hope the eviction techniques work

Smiley - Hope you aren't waiting too long now

I am going to go for a walk later after lunch, it won't be a long walk as just getting down the stairs will wreck my pelvis, but a nice short stroll will be fab, even if it doesn't help at all.

 

[PerpetualMama]

cherry, that first pic is the cutest!!! congratulations!!!

pm, what do u mean babys posterier? do u mean breech?

I had such an awful day yesterday, and I'm wondering if my hormones are stilll jumping around?? I'm quite scared i'm going to get the baby blues too, as I keep crying still, but at the same time, a lot is going on!!! I just wish everything will go back to normal soon.

the back of her head is against my spine and she's facing my front instead of facing to the side or facing my back. She used to face my back on an angle so her spine could be felt along the left half of my belly and her head could be felt between the upper edges of my thighs, she hung so low you could see a bulge above my pubic bone. Now she is posterior and her face is facing my belly and she's not super low anymore so no pressure on my cervix

Cherry..lovely birth story I love the stories from the weird stuff we say in labor, esp when drugged. But, you get so out of it and your mind just spins!
Beautiful pictures, super adorable
