February Lovebugs of 2016!! 16 pink, 15 blue, 7 yellow

[rebeccalouise]

Congratulations to all of those who have had their babies! I'm so jealous.

TMI, but since yesterday I've had an awful upset tummy! Everything I eat just goes straight through me.. I don't know if it's an early sign or what? Not getting my hopes up! I've been walking a lot, and bouncing on my birthing ball. I hope you're all well ladies? Is everyone as fed up as I am now? Haha. xx

 

[AmaryllisRed]

SO fed up! Haha!
I keep having dreams like I wake up and suddenly she's just HERE! I wish that's how it happened.

Had my last (eeek!) midwife appointment yesterday, mentioned I'd started itching from head to toe, especially on my hands so she did bloods to check for obstetric cholestasis; I should hear results today. Then spent all night up with a vomiting 3 year old. Poor thing is miserable and it's such crappy timing. Feeling very miserable and sorry for myself. And tired. And itchy. And hubby and I are snapping at each other cause we're both so tired. But even knowing it's just stress I'd still quite like to hit him with a frying pan. Okay, moan over.

Sorry your LO is doc Hannah. There's a lot going around at the moment. And I totally feel your pain and stress and hormones. I'm the same. I have had 2 breakdown already. My LG is 3.5 and started to behave like a cow last few days. So I snapped at her (she has been a total drama diva so partially it's deserved). And DH also gets his fair share

Glad it's not just me. Hope we're both out of our misery soon. Dealing with a 3.5 year old diva at this stage of pregnancy is just too much lol! My bloods came back negative for OC, which is great, though I'm still itching lots. DD seems to be on the mend *touch wood* she hasn't been sick since 2 o'clock this afternoon and is keeping little sips down finally.

Armywife, I hope your little one's tummy settles down soon. I had a "colicky" newborn (turned out to be allergies / reflux) after my first section and it wasn't fun. xx

Any symptoms anyone? Cervix is shortened and dilated 1 fingertip but no BH or cramping outside of normal. Bubs is so heavy in there or just really low--either way when I walk I have to hold them up off of my pelvis !

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Lots of Braxton Hicks here, pretty much daily. Mostly painless with a couple that take my breath away but nothing ever settles into a pattern.
Sooooo low. I can actually hardly go up stairs because my legs bump into my belly!

 

[DaisyDreamer]

Definitely got my waddling on over here !! I seriously feel like babe is already sticking their head out of my cervix. No BH but it's totally freaking me out.

Just got my hospital bag packed and ready to go. Feel like a sitting duck

Just wanted to let everyone know ....

Nora Nadine arrived safely last Sunday, January 24th, 7 lbs 20 in. She's happy and healthy and one week old!

How is everyone hanging in there?

 

[BabyNo1]

Would like to announce the safe arrival of Martha Phyllis 6lb 5oz.
She is beautiful and we are so in love .. had waters broken then foreceps for the last bit so had a few stitches and a bit sore but generally well.

I would like to wish you all the best of luck with your babies and I hope you all manage to deliver safely, trust your instincts and your MW/Doctors and you will be just fine.

Congratulations on all the new babies! Lovely names!

To the rest of us - the countdown is on. This is OUR month!!!!!!

 

[oox_tasha_xoo]

Yay babies are coming thick and fast now!! Bet it feels great to say your DUE this month
xx

 

[PriandRafa]

Congrats to all new mommies!!!!!!
so exciting to see the news!!!

and for the ones of us still preggo, we are officially February mommies!!!

FLArmywife,
sorry your little bean is a bit cranky and gassy! Hopefully he can adjust soon

Daisy:
I also feel that his head is about to come out! LOL, just had to stand up because sitting was too uncomfortable...

 

[Quantea]

Yay, more babies! Congratulations ladies!!!!! It's so exciting!

And yes guys, we are now officially in our month. It will be fun stalking this thread for more baby announcements.

 

[SpudsMama]

Congratulations to all of the new mummies!

Hopefully it won't be long until I can make my own announcement! I'm not due until 12th Feb but after another episode of reduced movement my midwife sent me to hospital to be monitored. Bub is fine as far as we know but whilst there I had a few cramps and tightenings so I agreed to a sweep... ow I'm only 1cm and cervix is still firm but these tightenings haven't seemed to ebb away at all, I've been having them for a good 5-6 hours now, so fingers crossed something is happening

 

[gumb69]

Good luck ladies. I've an internal tomorrow to see if my cervix is favourable. I've a scheduled induction on the 10th Feb. I hope it's favourable tomorrow.

 

[rebeccalouise]

I've been having pains for days, but they've not come to anything! going to see the midwife tomorrow, hopefully she'll tell me what's going on down there.. I'm tempted to ask for a sweep if possible, to try and put me out of my uncomfortable misery! I don't know if she'll do one at 38 weeks though? x

Congratulations to all new mummies, and for the rest of us - it's finally February! x

 

[DaisyDreamer]

Wow so many of you are moving along! Have been having just awful back pain and cramps, I called my MW and she said to relax and call if cramps become timeable which they haven't. They just hurt! But they aren't contractions.

Has anyone noticed a decrease in BH ???

 

[Jaxvipe]

I've noticed I didn't get as much today but was having really sharp pains in my cervix. I have an appointment tomorrow and hope I've progressed some!! It seems like everyone is having babies! I'm getting so impatient lol

 

[NennaKay]

My BH are timeable, but all over the place. I'm supposed to go in if they become painful... No luck there. I've had 2-3 clear outs in the last 4 days too. Been feeling extra tired and kinda sick to my stomach this evening... That's how I felt in early labor with my first, so maybe some progress is being made! Sat/ bounced on my ball all afternoon and evening.

 

[Quantea]

Went in for another growth scan today and baby remains big even though it's tapering off a little. But little bug is kinda free-floating in there, not engaged at all and I am having zero contractions. So basically it looks as if little bug is comfy enough to stay there until March, lol. My doctor wants us to discuss a possible c-section date if little bug is a no show until 39 weeks, due to size and my being on anticoagulation shots. I'm still on the lookout for labor signs, but it looks like it might be an ECS for me...

 

[NennaKay]

Oh no Quantea! I hope baby engages for you soon!
