Congratulations Fuschia, I'm glad you and Evie are doing well, hopefully you will be home again now, or very soon so you can start getting into your new routine. I hope you recover quickly from the c-section too.

I'm sure you've taken lots of photos already, so I can't wait to see some pics on here.

Anyone else there yet? Imagine, you can't be far behind.

Congratulations Fuschia! 66 hours, you are a trooper

Hope your recovery is quick and I can't wait to see some pics of Evie!

My baby is like her parents. Disorganised and now unfashionably late

Its far too cold at the moment Imagine, Baby is very happily snuggling up still inside.

Hope the forecast snow doesn't cause any problems with the midwife getting out to you. You all set to go at home I guess?

My friend was planning to try the hypnobirth as her Partner has been studying hypnotherapy for a couple of years. Her baby was born suddenly 8 weeks early, so she didn't make it how she wanted to. She is planning to start trying again in the summer when I'll be starting again, so I think she'll want to do it then. Let me know how it goes.

Thinking of you

Thanks Terrilou. I am now hoping baby Esme hangs in her nice intra-uterine environment for a little longer! We are predicted 10cm of snow and seeing as how they cancelled the homebirth service with last weeks 1cm of snow I am dreading going into labour tonight.

Thing is, if the MW can't get to me then frankly how do they think they are going to get a grouchy labouring woman out in the cold snow I do not want to be birthing at the side of a road! At least all the kit is here in case of emergency!

I will let you know how the hypnotherapy techniques work for me

 

[TerriLou]

Ooh, thats awkward, the MW can't make it out, so the very heavily pregnant, labouring ladies have to brave the elements, hmmm, something not quite right there. If thats the case, maybe all ladies with babies due within the next few days should get to hospital before it snows too bad and refuse to go home!!!! LOL, they'd soon start sending the MWs out again.

Congrats fuchsia! I am currently laying in my house with little Jocelyn on my chest. My water broke friday then after 33 hours of labor she came in an emergency c section. We are both healthy and recovering well. I will post pictures soon and I cannot wait to see yours! Hug!!

 

[imagine13]

Congratulations lellis! Can't wait to see pics of baby Jocelyn!

Hope you and Fuschia are both recovering well after your long labours and surgery

Gonna go for a waddle round the shops and try and shake my little madam out now.

 

[fuschia]

Lellis- Congrats !!! Was your section for failure to progress as well ?

Last night I had a tough one seen by a Mw, referred to a doc who prescribed antibiotics and total bed rest for a womb infection. Then doctor knocked on door again to say hospital want me back to run some tests and get me on a drip of antibiotics to treat - so here I am !

The only good thing about this is that I really wasn't feeling well before but Obv I assumed not to be after exhausting my body and major surgery !

Evie stayed home and my mum was set to look after her for the night - it felt all kinds of wrong leaving her . My husband was going to stay but has a cough so he was told to leave so I wouldn't be disturbed of sleep

Not quite the fairy tale start I imGined. But my little girl is healthy and happy and coming to see me today x

Looking forward to hearing what's happened imagine xxxx

 

[imagine13]

Oh no Fuschia. Hope you are feeling better. Must have felt like leaving a part of you behind going without her

I got all excited last night. Had a few hours of fairly regular (and painful) contractions. Was shivering and shaking through them. Managed to get back to sleep eventually. I'm shattered today. Hoping another long walk today will kickstart things again. If not I'll get a sweep at 41+1 and hope that finally does it!

 

[TerriLou]

Fuschia and Lellis, I hope you are both recovering well after your surgeries and Fuschia, hope you're out of hospital again soon.

Come on Imagine, I can't wait to find out that you've had little Esme. Hope the sweep brings you along.

Sitting here patiently waiting to see some baby pics. xxx

 

[imagine13]

3 nights now of contractions which are irregular and just fizzle out. My hips are excruciating The only side I could get comfy on last night baby was relentlessly battering.

Waiting for my sweep now. Hope it does something.

 

[lellis82]

Imagine, good luck with the sweep. Let he know how it goes. I am sending good thoughts your way!

 

[imagine13]

Thanks Lellis

Sweep postponed until today. I am 2cm - seems those contractions were doing something. Baby is fully engaged........may change her name to Patience if she takes much longer

Got another sweep Sat (if she hasn't arrived by then) then in for induction discussion with consultant Monday *bites nails nervously*!

Please show me some pics of your gorgeous newborns ladies to keep me going

 

[TerriLou]

Oh dear, you certainly have a little stubborn one in there. hope all goes well with the next sweep, hopefully you won't need it.

I'll keep everything crossed for you so you don't have to!!

Good luck

I'm also waiting to see some bouncing baby pics ladies. xxx

 

[imagine13]
