***January Jellybeans***~ 35 BABY GIRLS & 23 BABY BOYS BORN ~***

Lovealittle mine will be close in age too (I fell pregnant when my LO was about 5 months)

Smiffy having lots of wind seems to happen loads towards the end. Cant say I had any wind with contractions last time. Im a wind runs machine at the mo I didnt start feeling like this till 39 weeks last time.

I think the average age for first babies as been going up in recent years. Im sure late 20s early 30s is the norm. I was told last time im not classed as old.

Happy term time ladies reaching 37 weeks i'll be willing this baby out then

I get loads of BH when active and they feel quite different to the irregular contractions ive had even when resting. I think if you have an irretable uterus this can happen and doesnt mean baby will come early.

Well just had a nap and still tired, it seems so dark even during the day I feel more awake outside where I can get a bit of sun.

Smiffy, I'd been having the period type pains too and since the antenatal midwife had told us to I told my midwife straight away. She said in late pregnancy it's not uncommon to get trapped wind because of the pressure from bump. As this works its way through it feels like a period pain but it's most likely wind- hence end result. But yeah, I find it a bit embarrassing too.

 

[LittleMrs]

Oooooh, lovealittle what an awesome thought!!!!

DH and I want to have our babies close as well.. So before this baby is 2 we want to at least be pregnant with our 2nd child.

Hi Ladies I dont know if anyone else has seen this thread but I found this in the 3rd trimester. Looks like we may have our 6th jellybean soon. EmilyP83 was admitted to hospital yesterday at 33 +5 having contractions and 2cm dilated. Here is a link to the thread so that you can read all the details for yourselves.

[millward329]

Aww Sar that made me well up but so glad you and Joe are doing ok. Sounded proper scary so big loves to all involved in the drama x

 

[sar35]

hope emilyp and baby are ok.
Im gonna hang about in here for a while til there are more babies, it feels a bit weird going to parenting but i suppose ill have to go there sooner or later, so many thoughts in my head at the moment, i suppose it will be good to get a journal to put them all in. we have been offered councilling for the birth but i think we will get over it.
Been to see Joe today and he isnt coping too well with the feeds so will go back to tube feeding but is off the jaundice lamp and in the other room so not high dependency, we were told that despite his weight he is still prem, so we have accetped that now.

 

[jojo-m]

Flipping heck sar that's some story and only because you have a very happy ending a such a beautiful son will I say that you win hands down for most dramatic and scary birth I ever heard! Soo glad your both doing so well! X

 

[lovealittle1]

Jolene - glad your hubby is home.

Sar - what a birth story. I can't begin to imagine what you went through. Hope your little guy gets to come home soon. xxxxxxxxxx

 

[mum2be2011]

oh Sarah poor Joe, maybe things were just too quick for his little body and he needs a rest. Dont see the tube feeding as negative it will give Joe all the nutrition he needs whilst giving him a rest to concentrate on getting stronger. The tube wont be forever and it wont stop him from coming home

Moving from high dependency is a massive thing and a huge milestone to reach so early on.

to you and Joe x

Hey ladies! You've certainly been a very chatty group today so prepare for a bit of multi-quoting!

I was 26 when my first came. Oh was 36. I'll be 28 and he will be 38 when our boy gets here.
Ok so I. Heading home from hospital now. No infection and pain went away during my 4.5 hour sleep. Today is going to be a LONG day.

Glad you are ok Mom2B.

Lisa just noticed you are under 20 days!!!!

34 weeks for me today, look proper preggo now : )

Holy sh*t!!!! Its getting so close now!

Hey girls, its the afternoon here so prob nighttime for most of you. Sar glad you are able to go home and hopefully little joe will be joining you soon, love the name! Mom2B your lil gals bedroom is lovely!

Well I keep hoping something is going on down there but I'm pretty sure I'm reading way too much into everything now as I want it to happen so badly! Getting more CM than normal today and still had a tiny bit of spotting. I'm sure its all nothing though....can't help but get my hopes up though

Sounds very promising hun. Make sure you keep us updated. It's so nice to see some signs towards the end. I too have increased CM but no bleeding. Really hope we have our babies soon.

Full term today!!!!!! Wahoooooo!! Come on baby!!!!

Yey for full term naomi! It will be a race to finish line methinks! Not really any more signs today, spotting seems to have stopped so think that was def from internal. We'll see what doc says on Thursday.

Lisa you are getting lots of signs how exciting. Have you had the pineapple yet??

I have a bit of a question about BH too! Now this tended to happen a little when I had period pains but when I get the cramp like pain, by the time it gets down to bottom of the bump, it feels like tummy ache when you need the loo and generally I have to trump which is a bit embarassing!! I'm hoping i won't need to break wind everytime I have a contraction when it happens for real...........

hey Smiffy :wave: The pineapple I had has been eaten and bought some more yday. Prob not eating enough to do anything though...oh well.

I keep getting period type pains too but they are very brief, only last a few seconds and then go. Sometimes they do develop into tummy ache though and then either wind or a need for the loo

Hope Emilyp is ok, not read the post yet.

Well I just spent 2 1/2 hours on Moonpig ordering xmas cards for our family, and still have 2 left to do! I'm having a break now though! Watching Air Force One whilst hubby is making tuna melts for lunch, yum! Then gonna go for a walk with the pooch. I cant go far though, i get so achey after about 10 mins! Feel like a right old woman! Sleeping a lil better at the moment but we'll see if that lasts. Seem to have found a couple of sleeping positions that work, for an hour at least, then I have to rearrange the mound of pillows around me, go pee and then try and return to sleep! Anywa, hope everyone is well. Gonna go read about Emilyp and catch up on Sar's birth story.

 

[Neko]

Sar, that's quite a birth story. I'm glad you and Joe are ok.

I'm worried about needing to deliver early. The baby passes the ultrasound part of the biophysical profile, but keeps failing the NST. I have another NST on Tuesday. But I'm concerned if I fail another NST they will want to take the baby early.

On a more positive note, I had a lovely weekend away in Lancaster, PA. Went to Hershey Park, saw the Miracle of Christmas show and ate several nice large Pennsylvania Dutch meals. Not sure I want to get weight at the OB this week.

Congratulations on your little bundle Sar! So sorry you've been given such a scare... I know all will be well soon!

I'm so excited I have my hospital walk through tomorrow. Since my husband ins't here (again) my mom is going to have to go with me.

My husband and I are back and forth between NY and Atlanta. He works out of NY and I work out of Atlanta (as a flight attendant) his mother kicked me out back in March (in NY) so we quickly moved to Atlanta in April. Then the end of May I got sick with morning sickness and I couldn't work (no one wants a flight attendant who is throwing up the entire flight) so since we needed the money my husband had to stay in NY throughout my ENTIRE pregnancy to work and pay the bills. I am no longer flying but since October i've been doing office work for my airline, but the pay cut was very drastic so I don't make enough to pay major bills but we did catch up on things.. I am only doing the office work so him and I can continue to fly for FREE at any given time and for my health coverage.

This has been rough.. He's only been to 2 doctors appointments and since June he's only been home maybe 3 times for a week or 2 at a time. And when I go back to NY it's only for the wknd.

sorry I just needed to let that out as I miss him dearly (he left again on Friday, but I'll be in NY for our baby shower this upcoming friday)

 

[Mom 2B]

Aweee sorry your missing hubby. Will he be moving back with you once baby arrives?

 

[Mom 2B]

Well I have my growth ultrasound tomorrow. Wish me luck for a big fat baby. He should be over 4 pounds by now.
