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

Wow just been for a walk and gosh the pressure in my girlie bits was unbearable, glad to be home and sat down again
 
Hello ladies. I want to thank you all for your encouragement and support. My yellow bump turned pink 12/9/10 at 7:35pm, 5lbs 11oz. Started pitocin at 11am due to preeclampsia, water broke on its own around 5pm, contractions really picked up so asked for epidural (it was wonderful). Two hours later felt pressure and was ready to push, pushed her out during one contraction. I have been taking Red Rasperry Leaf tablets since 32 weeks and I'm sure it made a difference. I think the contractions did most of the work for me and got her down the birth canal...I would highly recommend them! She is so beautiful...will post pics soon. :cloud9: Think her name will be Jade Abrielle but we still aren't 100% sure. Thanks again for everything ladies, you all are wonderful! :thumbup:

Congrats Rachel on your :pink: bundle! Your story made me all emotional, lol, crazy hormones. I'm glad it was over quickly after all the stress of preeclampsia. Can't wait to see her and what a beautiful name!
 
Congrats Rachel on your little girl. I can't believe we have 7 JB's and it's not January for ages yet! Glad she is doing well x
 
Congrats Rachel on your :pink: bundle. Looking forward to seeing pics.

Today is 1 month until my edd! Yikes! I have starting lurking over at baby club shhh

Happy Friday JJ's

Congratulations - I've been taking RLT from 35 weeks, one cup up to two cups over the weekend I think. Glad you think it helped, reassuring. Can't wait to see the pics of your gorgeous pink baby.

aww congratulations on your little girl RCBrown, what lovely news :)

Some of you will already know this from facebook but I wanted to update everyone else. Saw the consultant this morning following our awful appointment last week and our visit to pregnancy assessment unit yesterday. Hayley is now head down and has her head sat on the brim of my pelvis :wohoo::wohoo::wohoo::wohoo: im over the moon.

Consultant was really nice, he checked the position twice and spent alot of time talking to us and reassuring us. They have sent a urine sample off today as it contained ketones but they have put this down to the severe vomiting Ive had this week and the fact that ive not managed to keep food down for 3 days. Got weighed and Ive LOST 7lbs this week :( The consultant wants to see me next week to keep an eye on babies position and also my weight and to check my urine sample.

Good news that so many ladies are now engaging, fingers crossed we dont have to wait long to meet our jellybeans.

Woohoo for engaged head down Hayley. I'm sorry you're still feeling poorly but I'm glad they're trying to do something about it for you.

I've got to go and have a shower and get changed because it's my works xmas do tonight. I really really really don't want to go - trekking through the cod and snow to find a place I've never been in the middle of Sheffield to eat curry and watch my colleagues drink themselves into oblivion. Fun? I think not.

Is anyone else just feeling like they want to stay at home all the time?
 
Congratulations for having a beautiful lil girl rcbrown08! The Jellybeans are starting to come one by one. Woohoo! :flower:
 
Tracy - wish she was engaged, she was sat ready to engage but I think she has flipped back. The kicks in my ribs have gone now and all movement appears to be back in my hips :(

Took Phoebe back to the drs as she has a rash that won't go and is getting worse, dr mentioned that i didn't look well explained what had been going on and he has given me some anti sickness tablets. If I'm still feeling/being sick monday they will look into it as I'm loosing weight with it now as well.

Hope you feel better soon, wish my docs were that understanding ive got chronic sickness but because im overweight they have said it doesnt matter if I loose some weight :dohh:

Congrats!

Had a good biophysical profile today. Baby passed the NST just fine today. The only problem is she's lying transverse. Hopefully she moves into the right position in the next couple weeks.

Thats really bad fraggles, the dr told me that at this stage of pregnancy they dont give anti-sickness tablets out but because ive lost 7lb in 3 days and have ketones in my urine sample they need to do something. Havent kept any food down at all since Monday.

In this pregnancy if you ignore my weight loss ive only put 4lbs on. I lost 10lbs due to hyperemises between 7 and 20 weeks put that back on and another 10lbs and im only 4lb heavier now than I was pre-pregnancy. Massive difference from Phoebe's when I put over 40lb on.

Soooooooooooo excited for you! Congratulations!!!!

I think I've finally kicked this cold... Yay! Just a bit of nasal stuffiness and sinus pressure, but I can deal with that just fine.

I don't know if I'm crazy or what, but I was wondering if any of you other ladies have felt this too or not. I know our babies are practicing their breathing and swallowing, which can give them hiccups. I swear that when I'm lying on my left side (her spine is on the left) and it's quiet, I can feel her breathing or swallowing. I was wondering what it was for a while because it was rhythmic (slightly quicker than every second), like hiccups, but soft movements like little waves. It doesn't feel like a big person breathing with a smooth up and down, but rather gulping. I came to the hypothesis that it was either breathing or swallowing because after about 10 minutes of this, LO would start hiccuping! Do you think it's just wishful thinking or have any of you been feeling this too and just, like me, been hesitant to post it?
 
Hye ladies, you've all been very chatty today!

:happydance: absolutely no judging here hun! I think its awesome you have chosen your way already. the not knowing when my little man is gonna pop out is scaring the bejesus out of me!!!! Lol! Am I friends with you on FB? I can't remember?!?

I'm not sure Smiffy. I'm Lisa Hodson, so let me know if not! My profile pic is our xmnas tree atm!

HUGE congrats Rachel, glad your little girl got here safe and sound and looking forward to seeing some piccies when you get a moment!

Glad they gave you something to help the sickness and hope they work, you don't need to be so ill at this time in pregnancy :(

I am sooooo tired atm I can barely stay awake! Slept from 11pm - 11am (up every hour or so to pee and then up for an hur at 7am, but still) and no doubnt I'll want a kip around 3pm! I still feel shattered and have a terrible headache! Be glad when I get return to some form of normaility, although I am well aware I won't be sleeping when bubs gets here, at least the sleep I have may be of some quality! I think my body's getting the rest whilst it can though! Am so achey though most of the time too. Started getting rib ache again and one side or the other is usually aching, as well as my back, legs and pelvic area. Oh well, one week today!

Last pregnancy I was hospitalized and injected with stuff to stop the vomiting. They have tried tablets this time but none worked, thankfully I have a sick free day every few days and I can keep water down usually. They do more when protein and keytones appear.

On the plus side baby will be here in less than 30 days

I feel hiccups many times throughout the day, but I haven't felt the breathing/swallowing. I've heard of many mama's that feel this though! So I bet you are right! Thats so cool! :cloud9:
 
Hi everyone. Finally managed to get 2 mins in a spot with enough mobile signal for Internet access! Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their kind words and support. Louie is doing really well considering and has certainly found his lungs today. I'm still in the hospital due to an infection and anaemia but as soon as I'm home I'll post a bit more. Thanks again girls. Take care of yourselves. Em xx

Hello girls,

Well I'm finally getting round to updating all my internet stuff! I'm delighted to announce the birth of my daughter Lola Wren :)

She arrived at 9.41am on Friday 2nd December weighing 4lbs 15oz at 35 weeks exactly via C-Section due to a combination of pre-eclampsia and a low lying placenta. No word can describe the sheer relief and euphoria I felt when I heard her first cry. Its a moment that will stay with me crystal clear forever.

We are still in the special care unit and will be for a while at least but she is doing very well and I am staying on the unit with her.

And without further ado, here she is!
