January Jellybeans 2013!...

Well I very quickly soaked through a semi absorbant panty liner so I've swapped to a big maternity pad - if I soak through that then we'll know! When I was changing madams night nappy I felt some more trickle but then smelt urine - it was her nappy that smelt of course!
Also had a tiny streak of blood when I wiped and feeling a bit crampy. Currently watching kids TV whith madam while bouncing on my ball, which 've been avoiding until after Christmas.

Span: I hope this is it! Eeeeek so exciting!

Maybe thats why they didn't require me to have a BM. I had 8 stitches.

Still leaking (soaked a big maternity pad) and getting lots of slighty blood streaked 'muck' when I wipe. The sodding MW called to tell me they're really busy so probably can't come today. I told her I think I'm leaking waters so she told me to go to delivery to get checked. If it is my waters (it's certainly not pee!) then I have 24 hours to go into spontaneous labour otherwise I have to go on antibiotics and kiss goodbye to my HB (well that's what they 'advise'). I can pick up the home birth kit on after being checked.
I ate breakfast but have puked it up. Currently bouncing on my ball (with Meg on my lap ) for a bit before I call delivery.

Mmmm they told me I had 4 days to go into labour with ds before any chance of infection, maybe things have changed in the last 6 years?

Ooh span that sounds exciting!

I am 38 weeks today! Yay.

I had my husband do a hypnobabies session with me today. It was wonderfully relaxing for both of us and really nice to have his support in the moment since I put off starting the program until the very end.

Does your baby go crazy when you're doing it? I always find he moves like mad while I'm lying there.

She does at first, but then once I'm hypnotized, I don't notice her moving at all.

They allow 3 days before induction at my hospital with monitoring every 24hrs until then

Jaime, they kept asking if I went in the hospital, but I never ended up going until I got home. Maybe you can ask for a stool softener? They offered it to me but I didn't take it.

Span, I'm sorry you might lose your HB. I hope everything works out for you. let us know. Just focus on baby coming and being here soon!

Back from the hospital. They put me on the monitor and all was fine. BP went up but went right back down.
I have until 1am tonight to go into labour with regards to a home birth. If I go into labour later I will need to go to delivery intead as I'll need IV antibiotics every 4 or 8 hours (can't remember which). If I haven't gone into labour by 7am Christmas morning (25th) then I'll need to go in for an induction.
Met the community midwives who will do the home birth if it kicks off this afternoon/tonight and they're lovely. Have the HB kit and the MW will bring gas and air if she gets called.

Keep everything crossed for tonight guys. Definately having a 2012 baby and I guess between now and Christmas, possibly Boxing day at the latest.
Feeling a bit emotional that Meg's world is about to be turned upside down.

 

[mellywelly]

I'm sure meg will be excited at getting the baby! And at least as she's still so little she won't be as bothered about xmas as if she was a couple of years older, if you know what I mean?

Keep us posted when you can, Span. How exciting!!!

And from what I have seen from other moms, all of them worry about how adding a second will affect the family. You will be fine and your daughter will adjust with time.
