[sar35]

Hey ladies! Just wanted to update~ my baby girl, Zahra Ma'at-Sekhmet, was born Tuesday, Dec. 28th @ 3:57am weighing 6lbs 12.7oz!

I'm just starting to get some type of "normality" back in my life, so I haven't written a birth story yet...

I hope everyone's year has started off great!

Congrats ill add you to the JJ mummies thread in my sig

Just got home from the hospital today. My baby girl, Avery Elizabeth, was born 12/30 at 10:31 p.m. She's 7 pounds 11 ounces and 20.5 inches long.

I'm exhausted, but she's beautiful.

Congrats, ill add you to the JJ mummies thread in my sig

Hey girls jsust had a quick flick back and even more babies born! Hope everyone is ok. I have found out I have a UTI which explains why I've felt so awful lately. Am now on Anti-biotics so hopefully will feel better soon. Doc also thought I was showin signs of PND as I was extremely teary (and have been for a day or so), but I feel much better knowing whats wrong with me so I think a lot of that was due to worry, but we'll see.

Other than that, Holly is doing great, although still making nighttimes a challenge!

awww hope you feel better soon x

ok, ladies, this might be it. I'm on my way to the hospital for the 2nd time in 24 hours. wish me luck. for those of you on facebook, if anything happens, I'll update there, since I can do that from my phone. please feel free to update back here on the forum. If it's false again, I'll update back here myself.

Good luck, hope this is it for you x

Congrats to neko and purplekisses!

I'm not feeling so great today girls, had a good sleep last night but woke up a bit teary and upset, not feeling well but can't explain why, nausea is out of control again, probably coming down with a cold or sicky bug since my son just had both one after the other!

Just trying to do some online shopping can't face the supermarket but laptop playing up! Just not in the mood! Grr sorry for my little moan there. Today isn't one of my best x

i felt nauseous all yesterday, but woke up feeling fine today. I don't know what that was all about but I hope that feeling doesn't come back.

last night as I laid in bed I swore my water would break (lol this is my first child so I don't know what to expect) but the movements were SO bad I felt them down below.... well I felt them pretty much everywhere and I was sure she was ready to make her debut pretty soon. It was quite scary.

Also I had 2 dreams last night that my LO was here but in one (or both I can't fully remember the 2nd one) instead of LO being a GIRL it was actually a BOY.

Again I've come to the conclusion that I NEED this pregnancy over with already lol.

 

[Mom 2B]

Yay! I hope this is really it for you....im going to check FB right after this post to see if there is an update!!!

Cheers for the description, Regina - not at all rambly and they sound pretty much like what I'd expect them to (given what they do etc). I hope this trip to hospital is more productive for you (queue jumper - lol).

Congrats to the ladies with the newborns- some very beautiful names. I've lost count again but I know we're approaching 30 now.

Lisa, hope you're feeling better after the antibiotics - my friend had PND and it was just heartbreaking, but she's much much better now.

Last night I decided I'm terrified. OH and I laid in bed watching films and I suddenly realised that once the baby is here this isn't going to happen anymore- not just when the baby is small but until it leaves home! This totally freaked me out and I started to panic that we've not had enough time by ourselves as a couple and that having a baby will destroy our relationship and I'll never get my sex drive back. OH (rightly) pointed out that it's a little late to be thinking these things now. So now I'm even more panicky because nobody else seems to be thinking these things, they're just excited about the babies, whereas I can't imagine the baby being here at all and I'm still convinced something bad is going to happen to prevent the baby from arriving safely. Sometimes I think there's going to be a car crash or I'm going to fall and the baby is still-born, other times I think the baby will be fine but something happens to me instead. I just cant imagine us together. I'm going to be a terrible mum because I'm not going to bond with my baby! Help! Does ANYONE feel ANY of these things?

So sorry you are feeling this way....but its totally normal! I felt the same way when I was close to having my daughter, who is now 2. You will find time for you and OH. After all the baby/child will go to bed at some point..lol OH and I had a movie night last night so it can and does still happen.

I had a horrible dream last night just shortly after going to bed. I woke up crying but luckily OH had not come to bed yet cuz he freaks out when I have bad dreams. I dreamt that we took our daughter out tobogganing before baby was here (there is almost no snow left here now so I doubt that would happen, plus there is no way im going out toboggganing!) Anyways...in my dream she was sitting on my lap and we went down the hill but when we got to the bottom there was a long piece of metal pole sticking out of us. It went through her arm and into my belly. In my dream I had someone call 911 and i was calling my mom and OH's sister to meet us at the hospital so that none of us would be alone in the hospital. I woke up crying and not knowing if baby boy was ok. It was crazy! I hate having dreams like that.

anyone else have crazy dreams like this?????

I wonder how Disney is getting on, wonder if she has her baby yet?

 

[jojo-m]

There's no update on fb saying it's false alarm so must be go go go! Hope she getting close if not already holding her baby x

 

[Disneydancr]

Nope, false alarm. moderate to severe contractions all last night but no progress. I'm just so tired from what I consider all the gratuitous pain. I'd be fine with the pain if I knew it was doing anything... but pain just for the sake of it? I'm so pissed. Was monitored for almost 4 hours last night, then sent home again and told to drink lots of water and take tylenol pm. Woke up without the contractions, but I feel like I've just had surgery... my bump is swollen and hard and sore, like it's been beaten up from the inside... no contractions, just pain. Apparently I'm pants at determining what's true or false labor- I think I'm going to just wait until my water breaks... who cares if my mother's water didn't break till she was 8 cm... better to have go to the hospital when it's too late for medication than having to lie on my back in the hospital, getting painful cervical checks for nothing, and only able to drink water. If you can't tell ladies, I'm just so fed up. I'm just sitting here bawling my eyes out as I type... I'M JUST SO DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ooooh No!! I must have posted at the same time as you.
So sorry to hear that it wasn't time!!

Massive deserved.
Please don't get too upset. It won't be long now and she will be in your arms...

 

[hodbert]

Regina so sorry you're having so many false alarms

LittleMrs I had those feelings before Holly was born, they're all normal! Now as I'm ill I'm getting the I'm not a good mum/not doing enough feelings as hubby is doing about 90% of work at mo and I feel so horrible about it. Sorry I really am feeling sorry for myself at the moment, aren't I??? I need to reel it in!

to everyone

 

[jojo-m]

Oh Regina that sucks! My friend has been contracting for 43 hours now and the baby is back to back so contractions not doing much, she booked in for induction tomorro and this is her 4th baby so don't worry about calling or going in if you have pain! Have a nice warm bath and try rest!

You not very well Lisa? Don't worry about getting yourself better to do more because you'll soon be doing the most of the work when paternity leave finishes! Hope you are feeling better soon tho xx

 

[Disneydancr]

OH, jo, that reminds me... I'm too far along (37 weeks is the threshold) for them to give me anything to stop the contractions, but not far along enough (39 weeks) for them to help me along... basically it was a "sorry you're in pain, but your body's not doing what it needs to do, so there's nothing we can do... go home."

 

[jojo-m]

How nice of them, I wonder why they don't just break your waters and speed things up, it's exhausting been in pain for days when you do go into established labour your likely to be too exhausted for pushing! (((hugs))) for you! Hope you not too much longer or you get a real break from it all to recharge those batteries xx

 

[Disneydancr]

small contractions again, but they don't hurt much, so maybe BH. Tons of discharge, though... I keep feeling wet, but it's thick... not watery. Streaks of blood every so often, but nothing major... just tiny veins in the mucus.
