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

[Mom 2B]

Oh my...so many of you seem ready to go anytime. I still have 4 weeks and some days it seems like forever and some days it seems soooo close.
I have not had any BH just some period like cramps when im walking around lots doing shopping and such. But in the last 2 days for about 2-3 hours in the evening I get these intense feelings of pressure from baby boy pushing soo low. its driving me nuts....kinda like hes dropping or engaging but then he moves. Maybe I dont want him to drop/engage now cuz its soooo uncomfortable.
I have my family christmas party tonight so im trying to get motivated to get some stuff done. I started wrapping pressies last night but only got half done because my boy was doing that painful engaing thing....maybe he was just stretching adn putting lots of pressure down there but it was so hard to sit onthe floor and wrap stuff up.
Anyways ladies I hope your all doing well and that the full termbabies stop bugging their mommas and either come today or calm down. Good luck.
Im off to make some rumaki (sp>?) for our party tonight.

Same here. I have been having the most painful cervix pain. It is like somebody stabs me in it and when it hits it takes my breathe away. It started about three weeks ago when it was bearable but now it stops me in my tracks. My cure is paracetamol and warm baths. I dont like taking painkillers but had no choice yesterday as I had a warm bath and laid down which normally eases it and it wasn't. Hope you feel comfortable soon or if not you have not got too long left hun

Thanks hun...ill keep those tips in mind but wont use them til the pain is unbearable so far its bad but not that bad and only a few hours at night time

Congrats Sam....hope you and baby are reunited soon and all is well
Yay Lisa...hope its not to long for you

 

[Jolene]

Sam, I'm glad to hear you're ok now that must have been traumatic. Sorry to hear you've been separated from your little girl for so long. Hope you two are re-united soon. Congrats on her birth

 

[beccybobeccy]

Congrats to Sam, sounds like an interesting birth story! Hopefully she will get to have baby in her arms soon... big hugs...

Come on Lisa!! eeeeeeee xx

 

[naomicourt]

All so exciting.... so who's is the 6th baby girl, feel like I'v missed something!

Beccy it will be our turn soon enough, we are under 30 days now x

I was having a nose in third tri and found that lostunicorn had her baby girl so I updated the front page.

Congrats Sam, I hope you get well soon and get to have cuddles with your baby.

I wonder if Lisa has had her baby yet???? Has anybody heard anything?

I have just called my midwife and she said it sounds as though I am in early labour! I just hope things get moving as I am having contractions every five minutes but they are not very strong yet.

[jms895]

Aww Naomi hope this is it for you! xx

 

[naomicourt]

Still getting contractions but only getting slightly stronger so have a feeling this is going to drag out. Going to go to bed and get some rest and hope that things kick off tomorrow.

Thanks for all your support ladies.

[LittleMrs]

Good luck Naomi - fingers crossed that it kicks off in the morning for you.

Bit of a gross question - what does the mucus plug look like? Went to the toilet in the cinema and there was something but it looked kind of white and I was expecting a yucky colour with some streaks of blood and also for it to be more like a thick discharge for a few days or something. It looked more like the stringy bit on egg white.

 

[abstersmum]

good luck naomi hope you can get some sleep

littlemrs i think that just sounds like cm not plug

 

[LittleMrs]

Cool abstersmum, thanks. Was starting to panic that it could be the start of something and I'm not ready. I know it wouldn't necessarily be the start of something even if it was th plug but u know sods law and everything. X

 

[mum2be2011]

Tracy - that sounds like the thickening of the CM that you can get a few weeks before you go into labour. The 'plug' can vary in appearance. With Phoebe it had streaks of blood in it but the midwife put that down to the trauma from the sweep as she pulled it away when they did the membrane sweep. With this baby i have lost several lots of what can only be described as 'snot' looking discharge. It has been very thick, yellow looking and has come away on the tissue. When i lost the huge amount in Tuesday it was thick but hung like a jelly string (tmi i know sorry) I got up to wipe and it was just dangling there, when I wiped i got loads more and it was very thick just sat on the tissue :s dont panic yet.

The only thing I have to say is DONT do a google image search for it, I made that mistake last pregnancy and was almost sick. Dont know where they get the pics from as they arent pleasant. Surely people can't be submitting their own pics of it

 

[hodbert]

hey ladies, quick update. No baby as yet but on the way, so far have been in hosp over 24 hours, but it can be the way with inductions. Got to 3cm at 5pm uk time on saturday, had waters broke at 5.30pm and then epi at 6pm which i cldmt have done without as cpntractions werr agony after waters. Its niw 9pm and its just a matter of waiting for dilation. Thought at one point they were gonna send me home as didnt seem to be progressing, was so thankful when they said i was at 3cm!
Anyway, thank u all for your thoughts and thanks to regina for updates. Will keep u/her informed when i can

* meant 5pm usa time, which was 1am uk time.

 

[Mom 2B]

yippie! shouldnt belong now. just try to relax with the epi and dialation should not take too long...cant wait to hear all about Your LO. and pics of course.

 

[Disneydancr]

Yay! I was wondering... hadn't heard in a while.

Naomi, I'm so excited for you too! I can't believe how many jellybeans already are having their babies!

not TMI at all, pretty much exactly as detailed as I needed. Where else can I ask such a bizarre question and get such a perfect answer that tells me exactly what I need to know? Thank you. Will keep an eye out for the rest, starting to get impatient but at the same time it feels like I'm willing on the end of the world because having the baby here seems so surreal that surely it's never going to actually happen to me! Anyone else feel like this?
