Hello ladies, just checking in. Private good luck for your sweep.
How exciting Em, bet the kiddies can't wait to show there brothers off!
AP, dint know how your have done it tbh!
Smiley I think I've added you???? Jemma Parfitt- but I'm crap with technology!
Hugs to everyone else and hurry up babies!!

I'm feeling the three kids today! Shaun is out delivering leaflets for our new business so I'm alone again. Feel Like im constantly on my own, and I'm feeling a bit tearful today- thought I was over that stage!
My friend was meant to be coming round but she had just cancelled and now I've got no plans and everyone's busy.

Suppose I should get in the garden with the girls but just want to sit here and do nothing but cuddle my baby. Feel like I never sit down, guess that joys of three kiddie winks.
Sorry for the negative post ladies xx

I remember those days! One not quite 4, one just over 2, and a newborn...then add another just over 3 years later. fun times! It was another 9 years before I started again, and now 6 years since DS. And none of my friends were having kids yet so I was odd man out

embo, I'm dreading induction Saturday, hoping I can get little miss to turn still. achey and crampy and I think it's all the muscle motion of trying to get her to TURN.
to you

Thanks Smiley- its such a personal thing I think. I just think I've waited this long whats a few more days- or Monday at the latest? Oh I don't know- going to sleep on it and see

What are your reasons for wanting to wait (if you dont mind me asking)? What is it about induction that is putting you off? Or is it just that you really want the chance to go naturally?

Ive been induced before with Lily and had a natural labour with Jack. My birth with Lily was a lot longer and in the end I couldn't actually push her out and had a ventouse. I had to have a lot of monitoring and at delivery had about 6 people including doctors in the room, I pushed for an hour then was cut then I had the ventouse- at the time I thought it was fine but then I went by myself with Jack and I progressed so quick and went from 6cm-10cm in like an hour- I pushed him out in a couple of minutes and 2 big pushes. Just 2 midwives in the room that told me to go with my body and left it all up to me.

I know every labours different and you get the same result but I really do believe the not being able to push her out and having the ventouse was because my body wasn't really ready

Does that make sense? Hope it answers what your asking- basically I want my body to do it itself so its ready and it goes more smoothly and I avoid any intervention

 

[BeccaxBump]

Ugh, acid reflux is just horrendous, I do hate it. I still have cramps, is anyone else cramping?
xoxox

 

[embo216]

Im cramping and having this very odd popping/fizzing sensation down below thats coming and going

 

[Wiggler]

I hope tonight is the night Em

Nothing here, had some more painless tightenings today, but that's nothing new. I am pretty sure I am going to be pregnant forever

 

[BeccaxBump]

She'll come Wiggler , she can't stay in there forever.

Embo, mine really throb, do yours?
xoxox

 

[Wiggler]

I've already accepted I will probably need the induction, I can't get it out of my head that she is "stuck" or whatever on my pelvis, I feel no pressure down there, just all on my pelvis. I can't get it out of my head that she won't come on her own, induction will fail and they will have to do a c-section.

I never felt like this with the others I think that is why I have been feeling so low recently. I just can't see things going well at all

Yeah you answered my questions I completely agree with you that your body needs to be ready to keep intervention to a minimum I had a ventouse delivery with Oscar but for very different reasons and this time I want to go into labour on my own and be able to progress properly on my own.

Its such a tough choice Do some more nip-stim tonight before bed and bounce on your ball if you have one. Maybe have some sex? May as well try

 

[embo216]

I'm on my own till tomorrow morning so sex is a no go Could try DIY though I guess

 

[MileyMamma]

Congratulations fides !

 

[smileyfaces]

Why the hell not

 

[embo216]

Don't really fancy it though Give me a cuppa anyday

 

[smileyfaces]

Dont think a cuppa will have quite the same effect

 

[embo216]

Your right there!

 

[BeccaxBump]

Haha, Embo, I'm exactly the same. I can't be bothered with the effort of a DIY! . At least when we have sex I can lay there and say I'm too fat to move .

Wiggler, try not to worry my lovely. We're all here to support you, whatever the outcome of your pregnancy!

[Midnight_Fairy]

I hope you both have better births em and sasha

 

[gflady]

Good luck embo, hope LO comes on own.

Come on the rest of the love bugs

I had a forceps delivery with Theo, had an episiotomy and still ended up tearing. I'm so unbelievably sore down there. Can't sit on chairs or do much. Even nursing theo is painful. Anyone got any tips? How long does it take to heal and feel normal?

Xxx

 

[embo216]

Ive said arnica tablets to the other girls- they are brilliant. Also tea tree oil in the bath will help keep your wounds clean I just lived in the bath after my labours x

 

[BeccaxBump]

My mum swears by badedas, I think that's how you spell it.
