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

[Jolene]

All the best Naomi How exciting!

Lisa, I'm glad to hear you're progressing. I was induced twice with my son and didn't dilate at all! Hope you're well on your way to 10cm... How is hubby taking it all?

I went to the wedding yesterday. It was really lovely but too hot for an outside wedding. I was on the go the whole day trying to walk on the grass with heels - not so easy so I'm guessing that's perhaps why baby was so quiet yesterday. Maybe also because of the heat? Anyway last night she was just as quiet which was strange. I woke up at 5:30 and she still wasn't moving, eventually at 6:30 she moved a little and has moved a little since then. Should I be worried because she's usually very active I don't want to leave it and then something bad happens but also if I go to the hospital here on a Sunday they're going to charge me an absolute fortune for what is probably just paranoia??? OK I'm babbling but I was really freaking out this morning.

 

[Jolene]

I know what you mean LittleMrs!

 

[LittleMrs]

Oh, lisa, glad it's going well so far, hopefully not long now. Fingers crossed.

Have worked out that with Sarah's baby and Lisa's that's 12 babies born and Naomi doesn't sound far behind so 13 babies minimum before Xmas.

 

[LittleMrs]

Jolene, can you phone anyone to talk over the phone? Over here we have 24hr number to ring a midwife if we're worried. They do say at this point you know your baby better than anyone (tho all I know is that ours is stubborn, unpredictable and likely to cause me endless stress until..... Well forever). You could do a kick count- maybe she's just moved and so the movements don't feel as obvious- 10 moves of any kind within an hr and everything should be fine.

Tracey, it will happen! I have had lots of cm too, but my plug with Caine was unmistakable, horrible snot ball with blood in it

Naomi hope this is it!

Lisa so excited for you! You should have baby tomorrow

 

[jms895]

Jolene drinksome cold water or fizzy stuff and have a bath see if that helps? xx

 

[Fraggles]

Jolene i'd say take a nice warm bath then have a cold and fizzy drink and lie on you left side for 20 minutes.

 

[naomicourt]

How is baby now jolene?

Well my contractions have stopped! I was getting some through the night which kept me awake so feel really tired now. I am going to try and go for a walk in a minute and hoping they will come back. I have some back ache still and had lots of cm today with another steak of blood. Come on baby!!

 

[Mom 2B]

Withthe kick count, while laying on your left side have your hand on your belly. My baby is stubborn sometimes and move ever so slightly that i dont feel it without my hand on my belly and the dr recomended this too

 

[LittleMrs]

Mom2b- mine is the opposite, I can feel it but not from the outside- anterior placenta cushions it, I think. Wow, wonder how much she ACTUALLY moves then. She's well
annoyed with me at the moment. I need the toilet and I'm hungry but I'm refusing to get out of bed- less space and a growling tummy, she is not happy at all! Suppose I'll have to get up soon- one well aimed kick at the bladder is all it'll take.

 

[Jolene]

Thanks Ladies. I went to church this morning and she thankfully decided to wake up and make up for being so quiet. I was so worried this morning I actually felt sick and all these horrible thoughts were going through my mind. It's amazing how you can love someone so much who you haven't even met yet.

Naomi, hope your contractions come back nice and strong, lol. Good Luck!

 

[Disneydancr]

So glad everything's good with you and your princess Jolene! I totally understand about loving your bean. I already love my daughter more than anything!

Naomi, I'm sorry your contractions are taking a break at the moment. I'm sure they'll resume with a vengeance soon! I'm sending you baby dust!!!!

I haven't heard anything more from Lisa. I'll send her another text around 8 am here.

Well, it's 6am here and I've maybe slept 2 hours total. I can't find a comfortable position! My lower back hurts really bad and my whole lower bump is crampy too. It feels like the week before my period would start- bad wind and lower pelvic pain. I'm not getting contractions, though, so I don't think it's anything major- just my body being tired and sore. I feel sorry for OH though because I keep moving around. In response, he keeps moving around, and by accident, when he comes in to snuggle behind me, he just lets his arm flop onto the bump- ouch! I feel like punching him and reminding him that our baby daughter is in there! But of course, he doesn't even know because he's asleep, and I'm glad he's been trying to come in for a snuggle.

 

[Disneydancr]

OOOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I just noticed---- last box on my ticker! Last Box on My Ticker! LAST BOX ON MY TICKER!!!!

 

[LittleMrs]

congrats on last box, regina.

Those ladies who have been pregnant before - in the last few weeks do your mood swings get worse/blacker - I've been upbet and happy all the way through the pregnancy and I'm normally quite mood-swingy but I've just been really happy and now I'm just getting moodier and moodier. OH text me from work to remind me to go shopping for food, then he text again to ask me to run him a bath for when he got home and I just hit the roof. I've spent all weekend cleaning and tidying - even doing the jobs that are normally his like the washing up and although I don't normally mind running him a bath it just seemed a little bit like he'd forgotten why I'm off work and was expecting me to play little wifey - cooking and cleaning and bringing him his slippers and a drink when he walks through the door. How much am I over-reacting? Just a little bit because he is being an arse or one hell of a lot because he's not really, I just took it the wrong way? What do you think

I think I know what you mean, Jolene, I love my baby too and I talk about her the same way I talk about my OH (the other person I love more than anything but who can similarly - as seen above - be a pain in my arse) but I'm trying not to get too attached yet - what if I build it up and then I don't bond straight away? What if something awful happens? I've turned into a little bit of an obsessive wreck recently. Lol

 

[Mom 2B]

I never had mood swings before being PG. With my daughter I never really got mad jsut cried over silly stuff.....but with this boy I have a short fuse and its getting worse the closer i get to due date so I think its normal...atleast i hope it is!!!! LOL

Yay for last box on the ticker Regina....funny i just noticed it on your ticker too and wondered if you noticed and then the next post was you saying that...lol

34 weeks for me today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sar35]

Yay for the last box regina, i never did make it to the last box!

 

[jms895]

Regina last box!

Tracey - yes have been v hormonal and v happy the next, quite normal

Naomi - is that baby on its way yet? Tell em to get a move on!

Hope Lisa is ok!

No pains for me today, think baby is having a laugh in there

 

[Jolene]

Yay for the last box Regina!!!!!!

Sar, how are you healing after the caesar? How long was it sore for? I can't remember and want to be prepared, lol. Does a nurse wash you afterwards and if so, do they have to? I'm not looking forward to that part. Just thought I'd ask since it's still fresh in your mind.

 

[Mom 2B]

OMG ladies. My bump is soo itchy. Only low under my belly button where my stretchies are but its been like this for 3-4 days. Ive been using lotion atleast twice a day but it doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions????? It's driving my absolutly nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Disneydancr]
