I'll have a sweep if I'm examined & it's looking favourable, but otherwise I'd rather wait until I've made a little progress on my own. I'll definitely be trying everything I can think of if I get past 40 weeks though - even though this baby is measuring slightly on the small side, it could still easily be 50% bigger than DS & that terrifies me as he did enough damage! :haha:
 
So sorry for your bad weekend Darkstar, I hope your bundle comes in the next few days and can cheer everyone up :hugs:

Really hope Oliver gets better soon Aruppe, cant imagine how heartbreaking it is that he's so teeny and sick :flower:

So exciting that we have a couple more beans coming over the next two days, best of luck Leinz and CharlieO!!

Hope the other mamma's in waiting aren't waiting too long!

Ok, anyone have some advice on how to keep baby awake during the middle of the night feeds? Harry seems too sleepy to drink enough, even after burping and nappy change! At the 3 or 4am feed he only drinks for maybe 10 mins max and then wakes up after an hour or hour and a half. Lilah, I know you were having similar trouble with Eva, had any success over the last couple of nights?!

Also, anyone else's bubs fart a lot - particularly in the early morning?!!!!

I was told to get my little girl undressed, and if that didnt work to get a cool wet cloth to wipe her legs and face to kind of wake her up some.
 
We were told to strip her clothes if she was falling asleep during feeding. The midwife said she would just sleep if she was too warm and cosy. We did try this, but only during the day as it is cold here at night. It seemed to work though and kept her awake a bit longer. Last night we had the opposite problem, she was feeding for ages and then we couldn't get her to go back to sleep. When she slept however she was asleep for about 3 hours. Her schedule seems to change with every day at the moment.

Eva is very windy - all the time! :-)

This was Violet for the first two weeks. Strip baby down to diaper, tickle feet, flick bottoms of feet, gently knuckle under chin, pinch shoulders, switch breasts twice (2x on each side).
 
Oliver has a lot of gas and wind too! He was infamous in the hospital with the nursing staff who said he sounded like he just had a 6pack! Haha...
 
I went to my first mommy & me BFing group today that is at the hospital I gave birth at. There were 7 of us. Violet has gained 9oz in 5 days!!! What a piggy!!! She is now 7lb 6oz.

Funny story: Changing her diaper before our meeting today. You know that moment where you take the dirty diaper away and are quickly trying to get the fresh one under her??? Well, I wasn't fast enough. Projectile yellow poo on the changing pad, dresser, tub of wipes, my hand, wall, and ironing board that was too close to the firing zone!!! LOL. Thank goodness I am used to poop!
 
Riley was born jan. 11 at 8:57 am by cesarian which by the way was not fun but I'd so it all over for my perfect little boy that as of now has been pretty perfect sleeps all day almost feeds every 4 hours then falls back asleep but is up more at night but now that I'm home ill try to switch that :) I still have pain from the cesarian and drs are now saying I should wait to have more or not at all cuz of 3 but I don't think they should say things like that especially since I told dh I want my little girl but we are happy for now with Riley :) he had no issues at birth at all I'm now able to more more and as long as I take my pills I'm ok I'm on cloud 9 with my boys oh and he weighs now 7lbs 120z he's the smallest of all my boys even nb clothes are too big but he eats really well so it won't be long till he grows into all his clothes
Hope u all had a great weekend congrats to all the babies that were born and to be born
 
Congrats on the birth of Riley Kaiecee! So pleased you have your little boy :)

Thanks for all the replies, I will give the stripping down thing a go since it's warm enough here, the tickling thing doesnt seem to work for me at night, but I know Harry isn't a fan of being naked so I think the stripping down might work!

Ditty, it's funny how used to having poo on you that you get :haha: At least with a little girl you dont have the pee that goes any which way ha ha ha - or maybe you do?!!!

Hey ladies, long time no see! Wonderful news, my baby girl is here!!! She was born January 11th at 2:11 PM weighing 9 pounds and 20 inches long. I think that makes my baby the biggest one to be born in the group yet. She's gorgeous. Being a mom is hard, though. I didn't realize that even my personal time, like sitting here typing this, I would only be able to have because she's asleep in my lap.

So, to pick up where I left off, labor started on January 10th at roughly 3:30 in the afternoon. At 8, we got to the birthing center and they declared me in active labor. I was 3 centimeters dilated, but they could stretch me to a 4. At 1 AM, they checked me again, and despite all the contractions I had had over those 5 hours, I had not dilated further. So they decided to send me home to get some much needed sleep. At that point, I had been awake for 17 hours.

We took our time leaving and arrived back home at 3 AM. I immediately crawled into bed. As soon as my head hit the pillow, contractions about 10 times as intense hit me. At 3:12, my water broke. We headed right back to the birthing center. It was pain like I had never imagined and I honestly don't know how I stuck with it for an all natural labor. At 8:30 AM, I was fully dilated and the midwives wanted me to push. I didn't have any strength left. My positive attitude about my labor and delivery were gone and replaced with a hell of a lot of I can't do this. It was decided that it was in my best interest to transfer to the hospital, get an epidural, and sleep for an hour so I'd recover the strength to push my baby out. So I did.

We got to the hospital and despite spending 20 minutes and getting stabbed in the spine 12 times, the epidural was a failure. I then spent a whiny hour and a half convinced I couldn't push her out on my own, but my body was giving me the option not to push. She at the end of the hour and a half, Lilah Bee Teemant was born.

It was the hardest 24 hour period of my life and it gave me the biggest treasure of my life. Thank you so much ladies for your support in this pregnancy journey. It has been such an amazing experience to go through all of this with you.
 
Good luck Leinz and CharlieO.

Congratulations Kaiecee!

Amanda - sorry your little lad is poorly. Glad he's doing ok and hope he's fully better soon.

Ditty - that sounds like a monster poo-nami! At least bf poo is inoffensive.

Darcey has been on the boob most of the evening. Wonder if it's a growth spurt. She's also still wide awake which is very unusual. Lets hope I get some sleep tonight! She also farts loads, especially when she's starting to wake for her morning feed. We love lying in bed listening to her! :haha:
 
Ooh congratulations Brier! Sounds like you did amazingly. :D
