January Jellybeans 2013!...

Wha hooooo Sonia, hope things will start happening for you soon!

My cramps are constant though, not coming in waves, maybe it could be my cervix lowering or something?
 
Thanks guys. The doctors appointment wasn't quite what I was expecting either. Apparently my lovely crusty nipples aren't typical, but he was a bit perplexed. He has put told me to use an antibiotic/steroid cream on them for the next week and has taken a swab to send to the lab and I have to go and see him again next Thursday. I feel dreadful now that if the baby does come I won't be able to breastfeed cause I have an infection and that I should have mentioned this ages ago and it would have been sorted by now. This has not been a good day. :-(
 
Maybe tomorrows full moon will bring our babies?

I've also been in a fowl mood today for no real reason. I seem to alternate between angry and sad.
 
I know what you mean JCH, I seem to be functioning on about 5 hrs of sleep a night, I could never do that night after night at 20 let alone at 30 and 9 months pregnant!
 
Lilah - maybe the cream will clear any possible infection in the meantime? Did he say how long to have to use it for? X
 
She arrived at 5:10 pm after three pushes. :shock: it was a crazy ride. I'll update tomorrow after I get some rest. But she's perfect. :cloud9:

:happydance: YAY, Snow! Can't wait to hear your birth story and see pics! Rest well and enjoy your little girl!!!

I googled it... :wacko: it was like googling "booger" wuahahaha. :haha:

:rofl: I googled it too... :rofl: some were pretty gross.. but still its good to arm ourselves with info! even if we are slightly disturbed by it :haha:

Hi everyone. Thank you for all your kind messages!

It's a girl!!!

Violet Mae was born 12/26 at 2:51pm. She weighs 6lb 4.5oz and is 19"! A little peanut. My story is very long as I was allowed to labor for 48 hrs with broken water. Violet was born with one push! She beautiful and perfect and my DH is smitten.

Will post story later!

Congratulations, Ditty!! Beautiful name! Cannot wait to read your story and see pics!!! Hope you are resting well!!

I am thoroughly fed up. I have just been to the midwife and she said that the baby was 4/5ths engaged as opposed to the 3/5ths I was told last time (different midwife this time). I feel like things are going backwards now instead of forwards. :-( I mentioned about the snot like discharge and she said it sounds like the plug. I was also asking her about my crusty yellow nipples which I've had since about 10 weeks and which gross me out a bit when I think about feeding the baby and she suggested I go and see the doctor to get them checked out, so off this afternoon to see the doctor. Am a bit worried in case it's something I should have brought up earlier. Feeling a bit sad and tearful now, although just stuffed my face with chocolate so feeling marginally better. Sorry for the moan.

I'm not sure about the 5ths.. but the nipples sound like mine. For me though, it is just colostrum leaking and drying to the skin. I used vitamin e oil on them and it softens up enough for me to gently rub off.

I'm having really strong period type cramps, not sure if it means anything?

Sounds like it might be the start of something! Keep us updated, hun!!

I can only hope my coughing doesn't give me a pulled muscle. I think I would sit and cry if I had to deal with anymore. I find that when I first wake up is the worst as it seems my lungs are trying to clear out stuff that has been sitting all night. I ended up sleeping on the love seat last night so DH could sleep. I was keeping him up all night with coughing and weird snoring because of the position I was in. I slept better once I got on the couch but now my back and neck and shoulders are all out of whack!

Oh, you poor dear! Rayven picked something up a few days ago (thinking from a friend of ours who was just getting over something or from church) and I feel like I am trying to come down with it now too. I hope you start feeling better, Sassy. I know it's not very fun to be sick and heavily pregnant!


ARuppe- You could try some vitamin e oil on your itchy spots. It works really well for me. My whole bump was itching really bad yesterday and I asked hubby to rub me down with the vitamin e oil and the itching stopped almost immediately! It's worth a try if it can give you some relief!!!

Sonia- Woo hoo! Hope this is the start of something!!!

Okay, now I want to say thank you to both of my lovely Secret Santas! DeeDee and Ginger! Thank you both so much for your lovely cards and lovely bracelets! I love them! I hope you like your gifts and cards and I had so much fun waiting for your cards to arrive!!! And thank you to all the ladies who participated and I hope you enjoyed playing our little Secret Santa. Much <3 and tons of :hug: to you all!!
 
These cramps are starting to get stronger now. If this baby comes tomorrow on the day dh predicted I'll never hear the end of it lol and I so wanted a new year baby too!
 
Midwife appointment today at 38+5.
Baby is now 4/5ths engaged as apposed to 3/5ths engagaged 2 weeks ago (my midwife writes the notes so that 4/5ths means only 1/5th of the head is out of the pelvis, so he's heading the right way).
BP fine, measuring 36.5cm and urine fine.
Next appointment is on January 9th to discuss and book induction for 18th Jan. Although I'm showing no signs of labour at all she expects to not see me on the 9th.
Only bad thing was baby is still back to back :(

Ooh that sounds promising! I said to DH this morning that it would be cool to have one of the first New Years babies. In Scotland the newspapers always cover the first babies born at each hospital.
 
I hope so. I think I have to use it till I see him next week.

Hopefully it will clear anything up before baby arrives. I am sure it is just maybe dried colostrum / leakage. Glad they have given you something.

Melly - I have a strange feeling that we'll be in labour together! It's my best friends birthday tomorrow and my sisters today, though I can't see him coming today but either will be happy - of course if he is on his way!
 
I can't see it being today either, but maybe tomorrow? That would be weird to be in labour at the same time lol.

Maybe this is why I've cleaned all the house, stripped all the beds and finished all the washing and ironing today:shrug:
 
Contractions less than 5 mins apart today but not intense....80% effaced, still 1cm, he said ifmy contractions get worse to go back in straight away... Hoping to have baby by this weekend lol.. Still wishful thinking ;)
 
Sounds promising that baby will arrive soon Nicki.

Deedee was definitely right with the domino effect prediction :)

Melly - could well be! I cleaned my house from top to bottom last night and crazy old me couldn't keep still this morning so went and cleaned my mum's house whilst she was at work from the carnage left over from Boxing Day! It took a while!
 
Wow! Lucky her! You're welcome to clean mine! Lol
I want to but can't move! Joys of pregnancies hey.

Still.. Only til next Thursday to go, then they're kick starting me :)
 
Well that could be 3 of us for tomorrow, anyone else want to join us?
 
I'm thinking I could have made a fortune hiring my services (cleaning only lol) during this pregnancy! I've never seen my house so clean, no washing to be seen, no ironing! I think DH is getting annoyed, he gets undressed and I have it in the washin machine whilst it's still warm!
 
Lots going on in here today!! Hopefully we get some exciting news!!

Never thought id be willing to post on the Internet that I woke up with a sore pelvis and just now had an epic bm accompanied by what appeared to be some minus plug...oh the gross things that excite us pregnant ladies!!
 
Ha, I know. I never thought I would be discussing my gross nipples on the internet! Pregnancy does really does open you up to discussing things you normally never would! :)
