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

Wow! Congratulations everyone! They're really coming!

Mine will be here Friday! Eeeek!!
 
Yes, congratulations everyone!

I wonder how soon my LO will be. I'm having a new sort of pain. It feels like constipation (which is usually a sharp pain in the lower left for me) but on the right side... weird, huh? Also, my back and legs feel like I'm on my period. I've been getting contractions, but the pains are only the ones I've described above, so I don't know if they're labor or not. Peeing every hour at least, but only a couple of tbs at a time. No bleeding, but I can't seem to walk with my legs straight anymore. I look like I've been riding a horse for the past week. lol.

By the way, I tried feeling inside to see if I could feel anything, and I think my LO has moved down, because I can definitely feel the head... I wish I knew what the cervix felt like so I could tell by myself how dilated I am... but I guess that's why I'm not a doctor. Do you think I should call the hospital and see what they say whether I should go in or not? I don't want to be the kind of woman who gets too hopeful and reads all the niggles as a sign of labor and just takes up a bed when other people might need it, but I also don't want to be someone who accidentally delivers at home because she's too stupid and/or stubborn to see that she's in labor. I've heard some of you ladies say you've gone into labor and been already super dilated, but not known because your water didn't break till late or you didn't have your show till late. What do you ladies think?

BTW, I'm going to post this in the 3rd tri forum too to get as many answers as possible.
 
Just a small rant about severe back pain, mainly on one side of my back :(
 
hi ladies, just a quick one to say that my waters broke yesterday morning and at 12.30am today my gorgeous little baby boy was born!:baby:

i will write more soon but i am still in hospital at the moment. xx

Fabulous news Congratulations! Cant wait to hear more xx
 
Wow more babies have come along but none on xmas day!!! Congrats to Pink neon on your little girl!

Can't wait to see pics Naomi, congrats hunny!!!

Congratulations to you too beccy!! Proposed to on xmas day that is very special.

I enjoyed my last christmas with just me and OH. Glad bean decided to stay put but now wnat him out as I am SOOOOOO uncomfortable and not sleeping much at all. Had a really nice day with OH's family on xmas eve then spent the evening with friends which wasn't expected and was lovely. Then got up xmas morning to some lovely gifts from OH and then drove to my parents and had lots more nice stuff too. Been very spoilt.

Oh went to midwife on xmas eve morning and am fully engaged and good bp. All looking fine and baby isn't going to be massive as he's still only measuring 36cm. She thinks about 7 to 7 and a half pounds. She read my birth plan too and said how good it was and that it was very easy to understand. :)

Hope everyone had a lovely christmas and is now looking forward to all the jellybeans coming soon!!!! YAY! (Altho I am petrified of going into labour now!!!)

xxxx

Sounds good! Wont be long yay :)

Congratulations Naomi cant wait for all the details.


I've decided I should of bought shares in Gaviscon my heartburn as reached all new heights on the discomfort front.

Jade hope you feel better soon.

Oh gosh im having a baby next week at the latest :wacko:

Thanks hun but feel awful, like I been run over been in bed all day. Dreading going into labour like this :nope:

Not long for you now!

Big congrats Naomi and Mr Naomi and Eloise :happydance: Yay for a boy too.

Jade hope you have got some antibiotics, the good thing about waking in middle of night is you can take one then too. I've found vicks helps a little.

Smiffy - so exciting that you are fully engaged - more babies on their way soon. I think 7 to 7 1/2 lb is a fair size.

Have a good day everyone :hugs:

Rang NHS direct and docs no answer, rang hospital and they wont give any of us anything :nope: I am so pissed off!

Thought I'd check to see if anyone else had had babies in Third Tri and saw that Waiting2bMommy due on Xmas day had her little boy Levi David on 23rd by emergancy c-sec. Weighing 9lbs 4oz and 22 inches long.

Congrats to them and another boy :thumbup:

Congrats its all go now!!

Jessabella is in labour at the moment - 5cm dilated - she is due same day as you Tracy :flower:

Congratulations Jessa!

Hi ladies just seen in 3rd tri that becky123 (due 17th Jan) has had her baby

I had my baby by c section weighing 5lb 8oz on xmas eve at 12.36pm hs name is Owen Rhys Perrett

Yay congrats!

Wow! Congratulations everyone! They're really coming!

Mine will be here Friday! Eeeek!!

Yay!! :)

Jade, I heard from a friend that nhs direct is totally backed up. Think there's an online bit where you can put in your phone number and they call you back- you should be high priority.
Us soon then, 10 days left till due date, hope you can get to a dr so you can get better asap- you're right, it would totally suck to be ill and in labour at the same time. X
 
btw, I just called my doctor and I'm awaiting a call back about what I need to do. I was told I'm not supposed to be taking tub baths anymore because I'm too far along. Oh well... they were the one thing that helped my back.
 
Congratulations Naomi and PinkNeon!!
Loving all the baby news... Hopefully I will be able to keep up with the thread a bit more now I am on Mat Leave!!

Baby is still floating free for me so doesn't look like anything happening here with "Falcon" any time soon... I fully expect to go over.

2 of the girls from my NCT class due in Jan have already had their babies... I have baby-envy!!
 
My baby appears to have dropped a bit since yesterday, less squirming today- not too much but a noticeable amount. Think we're both getting ready now- me and the LO. Feeling tight and heavy and less rib ache today than the rest of the week. 10 days till due date, 24 days max.
 
HOLY babies!!!! Glad teh boys are starting to catch up too!
Congrats everyone on your babies....hope to see pics soon.

I've still been crazy itchy with nothing that helps. I go for my 35 week growth u/s wednesday and will also be calling dr to get in and get something new to try for the PUPPPS. had a great christmas with lots of family. Not a lot of pressies but I dont care, I just wanted to see all my family. Got one party left tomorrow night and then this christmas season is done for another year.
 
:happydance: I just lost my plug!!! It was very obvious too - won't go into the tmi stuff about it. I know it can still be weeks bit am super excited by body is preparing!!

Yay! it could be weeks.....but it could be days or hours from starting too!
 
Lovealittle1 - glad you said it's obvious, am keeping my eyes ultra peeled for plug loss but nothing yet. Like Disney, I am quite jealous. Single figures this morning! 9 days. When did we last hear from smiffy coz she's a couple of days ahead of me? Even half a day without hearing from someone at this stage could mean they're in labour! How scary/exciting!

I have been told to rest and take paracetamols and address for the walk in xcentre if things get serious :dohh: another crap nights sleep for us all. I am sat here sweating my ass off :(
