**~February Lovebugs -The Last Tri~** 37 Blue,41 Pink,26 Yellows

Sure you've seen the update, but...................

my lil princess Tahlia Mae Sweeney arrived at 0728am weighing 8lb15oz - ouchy!!!

She is gorgeous, didn't want to stay in either once she decided to come, went to hosp at 3am was 2cm, waters went at 4am and was 4-5cm, then she was here before I knew it. Can't believe she weighed almost 1lb heavier than my son was - I blame the 5 easter eggs I ate last week lol. No tears, nothing thank god.

birth story to follow with pics when I get time.

Oh, and if I can recommend anything to pack in your bags - baby wipes for when you go pee after, they are sooooo refreshingly cool on your sore bits.

:dust: for you all waiting xx

Huge congratulations you!! xx
 
Hope the rest of you are still ok in here!!!

I am hanging onto reality by the skin of my teeth lol - the sleep deprivation is making me a bit bonkers, Xander likes to feed for 5 hours at a time in the evening through to the early hours. Sat night was 9.30pm - 2.30am and last night was 8.30pm-1.30am. He is so hungry and its killing me.

Have been to boots this morning and bought some aptamil. Decided I am going to combi feed -I cant keep going like this so have decided I will do the hour on each side for him with breastfeeding and top up with an ounce of formula if he still wont settle - as much as I would like to bf exclusively its just not something thats going to work just now, I cant feed him for 5 hours. The minimum he feeds for is 3 hours each time. So for my sanity a bit of formula may give me a little extra sleep.

Labour vibes coming to all of you!!!!!!

For those of you having sweeps in the next couple of days **** GOOD LUCK ****

xxxxx

Congrats - that is fab news :)
 
Congrats new arrivals , I pooped a quick update on missdiors thread . But going to wake OH and go back to hospital now , tired and finding it too hard to cop with pains :(
 
Hope things are going well for Blackrose.

I managed to slip as I got out the shower last night, my right leg shot out to the side and it felt like my pelvis had tore apart :cry: Have been awake most of the night - any small movement makes me cry - it hurts sooo much :cry:

I cant even sit on my birth ball (which is usually comfy for my pelvis) because the pain is too much.

Really emotional today - I was fed up anyway waiting for baby but this is horrendous :cry:

How did the sweeps go Teal and Manda?

Here's hoping it makes the magic happen! :thumbup:

I have lost my plug this afternoon and have started to get achy period style pains/cramps - first sign of anything for me - so Im quite pleased :happydance:

Just hope it progresses ..... pleeeeeeeeeeeeease :thumbup:
 
This is what I just posted in the other Lovebug thread and in the Home Birth thread.

I've just had my second sweep. Not much change from yesterday, cervix slightly posterior now instead of just posterior. Light brownish/pink bleeding continuing from yesterday, which midwife confirmed was fine as long as it's mucousy. Just went for a wee and had a glob of brownish/pink mucous. Cervix still 1cm long and 1cm dilated and soft. I've another sweep scheduled for Thursday morning but loooove to be in labour before then!

So, nothing amazing, but on track!
 
Had my 2nd sweep, man they're uncomfy !! :flower:

Booked in for induction on Monday if no movement b4 then, or another sweep on Friday if I want..... no more, out baby, its time to leave the big mummas house :haha:
 
I found the attempted sweep uncomfy. Really need to think about upping the pain threshold! :haha:
 
Hi Al, havent had a minute to come on line in ages, hope all is going well and congrats to any arrivals.
Can someome send me the link to the blog for after the birth that was set up please?
Thomas is doing well feeding wise, I have mastitis so that is sore and am on antibiotics. However he settles well during the day, but at night it is really hard work, any tips?

Thanks
 
I am still here and no baby :(
just came back from a long walk, felt like the baby is going to fall out, too much pressure down there! Please, baby, come before the induction!!!!!
