Congratulations, Ginger! Jackson is gorgeous! Hope you two are doing well!

Sorry to all the ladies who are sick! Hope you girls feel better soon!

Fingers crossed for the girls who are having cramps, etc. hope this is it for you!

AFM: I am now 38+1 today! 13 days left on the ticker! Don't know how many of you ladies stalk my journal at all, but started having some pain and tightenings around 2:30 pm on Thursday, they were pretty intense, brought tears to my eyes, but calmed down enough for me to sleep some, but tossed and turned all night. Went into town yesterday, had some more pains and my belly was consistantly tight the whole day, but seemed to lessen when we got home... My bump seems super low now, so wondering if maybe it was all baby just dropping more and fully engaging? Hubby and I dtd this morning and have been having cramps and lower back ache since we got out of bed. Haven't seen hidenor hair of my plug or any type of bloody show. Never saw it with my daughter either, so who knows?

I never saw my plug or had bloody show with my daughter either. I have been looking this time and I'm only 5 days away and haven't seen either with this one. Guess some of us just don't get that.

Maybe... Kinda makes ya feel left out, huh? I don't even remember my waters breaking! hope you feel better, Sassy.. I can't imagine being sick and going into labor.

Yea a little! My waters were broke by the doctor after I got to the hospital so yea I never had any of that. lol! Thanks! It is draining on me to be both fighting off this sickness and growing a baby. I honestly would get more sleep if I wasn't sick and had a newborn.

I can understand that. DD is a little sickie right now I am really hoping I can fight it off.. Especially if this is the start of.something for me....

I hope you stay well.

Hope you stay well La Mere!

DS has come down with flu now. He is just a hot, floppy little bundle - totally out of it. I've given him a drink & some calpol & put him to bed. Hope he's ok - he never has a fever

Baby Wyatt arrived healthy a few days ago. It has been an exhausting journey. I went in on Xmas day for induction. Took forever to get to 3 cm, then jumped right to 7 cm, and then not too much longer to 10 cm. I pushed 2.5 hrs and didn't get any further than +2 (although they kept seeing the head get closer and then just go back). Had to have a c-section b/c baby was not coming out naturally.

After 50 hrs in labor and delivery, Wyatt was born via c-section and weighed 8 lbs even and was 20 inches long.

Congrats, ginger!!!!! He's gorgeous!!!!!

Sorry i have been MIA! We have had visitors every day since we got home. I've had no time for Bnb. I feel so outta the loop.

Blake is a week old. I can't believe it. Had his first doc appt and he gained six oz. he's doing so well. I still have no feeling in my pelvic floor muscles and I'm so frustrated about it. Breast feeding is going well. I pumped today and going to try the bottle. Hope he does well!

[La Mere]

Congrats, babyhopeful! Sounds exhausting! 50 hours, thats insane.... I was in labor for.about 15 hours before I pushed my daughter out and that was exhausting enough! Glad you and baby are okay.

Jaime- so glad to hear you and Blake are doing well. Six oz. thats so good. Hope the breastfeeding/pumping continues going well for you!

 

[Lauren021406]

Congrats baby hopeful!

Glad blake is doing well!

Lauren, maybe well be induced the same day! im still waiting to see if theyll do me monday or wednesday!

As everyone keeps telling me tax deduction!!!!! Labor and delivery has been filled at the hospital that I am delivering, the dr said it was best to wait to Monday and that way it will guarantee a private room after the baby is born! Im just so anxious!

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Yea tax deduction is right lol, but if its not that day, i wont be upset lol...

The 31st and 1st hes just worried they wont be staffed enough but im like...welllllll someones gotta be working!!

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Im very anxious as well! Cleaned the entire house today w hubby and we stocked up the fridge and cupboards! Now i have to pack my hospital bag and i am all done! Just got done sterilizing everything too!

 

[mellywelly]

Congratulations baby hopeful!

Nothing happening here either. Ds has decided to go to his grandads for the night, so I had a nice long bath and then fell asleep! Just woke up and had a curry to see if that helps things along!

 

[Nikkilewis14]

@ jaime...how has ur dog been with the baby?

 

[ARuppe716]

So exciting.. We will have another round of babies in a few days! Dh and I have decided to schedule a c section. I could never live with myself if something happened to baby and I had known about risks and went ahead anyways. In also nervous about my hip... I had my replacement at a special hospital in NYC after a botched hip surgery here at the local hospital. If something happened to my hip in delivery it would be that dr who would be overseeing my issues and I have no intention of letting that happen. I'm nervous to have the cs but I prefer the known risks of a routine surgery than the unknown factors a vaginal birth poses for me an LO. I have to call monday morning to schedule... It will most likely be Wednesday or Thursday depending on the dr's schedule. I'm kind of hoping for Thursday because the birthday would be 1/3/13 but only if I get one of the doctors I prefer!

 

[La Mere]

So exciting! Good luck to you girls getting induced/having a cs soon!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Aruppe - sounds like you've made a sensible decision, I'm kind of in the same mind that I wouldn't want to put either baby or myself at risk of the known risks, being that I know they are higher than normal (don't get me wrong I know there are risks in every delivery) but would rather plan for the potential risks of a c section and face those under a controlled environment as opposed to not knowing and never forgiving myself.

I'm going to call hospital Monday and explain what's happening and see if I can move consultants appointment.
