[Mom 2B]

Ok so 17 hours of labour now. I'm paper thin and only 1 cm. But it's real labour now for sure. I'm having a baby today.

 

[jojo-m]

YAY LAURA! (sorry I been calling you Tracy for hours today) thats great news! x

 

[pinkie77]

Ooooh good luck Laura, hope it goes well x x

 

[sar35]

thinking of you Laura x

 

[beccybobeccy]

Best of luck Laura hun... can't wait to get pics/news xxx

 

[LittleMrs]

I'm glad to say I told you so. Hope it gets quicker now, although if it takes a while you could end up with the cool birth date.

 

[Jolene]

Good Luck Laura What time are they doing the section?

Tracey, hope it hurries up for you now!

Beccy, I don't know how you do it. I couldn't wait that long to find out baby's sex. I am not that patient. Not long now, it will be all worth it soon!

Jojo, only 2 DAYS till your EDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Pinkie

 

[Fraggles]

Good luck Laura

 

[LittleMrs]

Come on now little one. Right, I've done some maths, the chances of having a labour that is under 7 hrs for a first baby from the first contraction is minimal to say the least. The chances of having a labour over 31 hrs is higher but the likelihood is that it would be somewhere between the two so come on little one and then we can have 11/01/11. Now, if I'm honest, I don't think she's going anywhere just yet but it'd be cool if she did. Come on, come on, come on!

Jolene it was OUR due date but both you and Faff went and abandoned me and started getting your babies early! Hope Mackenzie still doing well, she will be practically a month before this little madam comes out! your lucky your not still pregnant I can tell you it hurts!! x

 

[millward329]

All the best Laura...are they still going to do a section for her do we know?

Wonder who will get that 11.1.11? Not sure what bean is up to down there but getting lots of niggles over the pubic bone. Oh well sure the yummy lasagne I'm making will take my mind off it. Can eat so much since he dropped a couple weeks back. Anyone else have sensitive stretch marks that are kinda stingy when touched?

 

[Jolene]

Yeah Jojo, I would never have lasted till now. I was so uncomfortable and sore at 38 weeks already. Sorry we left you behind And no she won't be a month, she's only 11 days old today, lol.

 

[MrsPhez]

Had my sweep (which wasn't painful for me at all if anyone else is wondering). I'm fully effaced and 1cm dilated. Baby is fully engaged. MW doesn't think I'll get to induction on Saturday. But he will he come in time for tomorrow's 11/1/11? I really hope so!

I have this...! Think my bump is at breaking point... I actually also accidentally scratched myself with my fingernail on a stretch mark and it started bleeding badly... its been so painful since...

Glad the sweep went well!!
Sounds like we could have some more baby news soon!!

I don't know whether this means anything but checked out Rachael's FB page and whilst there is nothing on there at the moment, her fiance Luke has as his prfile picture a picture of him with what could be a newborn led on him. It could be an old pic of Phoebe but here's hoping eh?!

I'm sooo nosey!!

I may yet go over 2 weeks! by which point ill look something like this x

 

[hodbert]

Yey Laura looking forward to hearing all about your LO!!!

Happy birthday Pinkie!

Come on Rachael we want updates!!!

 

[LittleMrs]

Lol, beccy, I considered trying to stalk Luke too, to see if there was anything on his profile. I think she MUST have had the baby by now because she was definitely into active labour.

I was going to try dtd tonight to try and bring on bubs but TMI the CM has gotten so thick and profuse I think it'd prob be a real punishment to OH. He doesn't seem to think there's a problem- we'll see how he feels about that later. Mrsphez- seems like good news for you then, maybe you'll get the magical birthday we're all hankering after.

 

[Disneydancr]

Hope you manage some sleep soon Laura x x

Nope, nothing doing Susie this baby has her sibling's timekeeping by the looks of it! Thanks for the birthday wishes x x and Jade too x x

Well, been to asda and nearly had a meltdown cos they've moved everything over the weekend. My shop that should've taken ten mins (just for bday cake, lunchbox stuff and fridge stuff) took nearly an hour And then got sworn at going back to the car! My dad took me in his car, he's disabled with a blue badge so parked in a disabled space (fair enough?). He decided he needed to go to the loo as we finished so I went back to the car ahead and some old biddy decided to start effing and blinding at me that 'pregnancy wasn't a disablility' etc - then dad turned up (on his crutches) and let rip! Go dad! But I'm done with shopping til this baby's been evicted now, I'll send the kids to the corner shop if necessary.

Lol! There are some places here that offer parking specifically for pregnant ladies!

Its now 6:30AM. 14 hours. I have not slept at ALL. Pains are starting to get worse these last 3 contractions and the pain has moved into my back now as well. At the point where im thinking of waking OH up to go back to hospital even thou hes only had 2.5 hours sleep....but ive had none. Not sure how far apart they are as i was trying to get sleep and stoppedd timing them. God damn it I just want this to end!!!!!!!!!

Lol I was going to say, that doesn't sound like BH, but you knew that already!

Jo- not me with the bh, is laura. I HAVE had more globs of CM again though, which is exciting enough for me for now. Little one is feeling heavier and think i'm having some round ligament pain but that's all good because it suggests that the baby is dropping lower. Every day is closer. 9 days maximum until induction.

For Me, when I was getting closer to labor, I got really heavy and had ligament pain, but then it all got really light and comfy when LO got into the perfect position. Good luck!

Ok so 17 hours of labour now. I'm paper thin and only 1 cm. But it's real labour now for sure. I'm having a baby today.

Woohoo! You're so lucky! My hospital wouldn't call it active labor until I got to 3 cm or my waters broke, so I kept being sent home... I really need to write my birth story!

You're so lucky you get to eat lasagna! Near the end, if I ate anything with tomato sauce like pizza or lasagna, I had horrendous acid reflux. enjoy!

Had my sweep (which wasn't painful for me at all if anyone else is wondering). I'm fully effaced and 1cm dilated. Baby is fully engaged. MW doesn't think I'll get to induction on Saturday. But he will he come in time for tomorrow's 11/1/11? I really hope so!

Wow, looks like you and Laura are racing- you both have the same stats as of now!



Madison and I are doing great! She lost her umbilical cord stump some time last night... aw, my little girl's growing up so fast!!! lol

 

[LittleMrs]

Regina, so glad everything is going well with Madison (and that the umbilical cord only stays for 6 days - not looking forward to that!)

I can't eat anything without acid reflux now, even water. I tried eating small meals, I trid eating big meals, I tried just drinking water or milk etc. Nothing works - even the antacids don't work for more than about 10 minutes. Just got my fingers crossed that it goes straight after labour, although I suspect that it won't because the hormone relaxin must hang around for a while in the body. However, looking on the bright side, if I have that much of the chemical in my body that I'm getting acid reflux constantly then I must be close

My bump is kind of achey and tender - does anyone else get this? It's been feling a bit tender and bruised on and off for a while, almost like when you strain your stomach muscles.

 

[smiffy85]

Hello everyone! Wow there were about a million pages for me to catch up on. Just a quick one from me as I think the little man in my life is slowly waking himself up. Had a very busy night of constant feeding last night. He just wouldn't go down and was so fussy. Then he would latch on and drop to sleep on me, then I would put him down again and he would wail lol. He really found his lungs yesterday too. I finally let him sleep on me from about 5 till 8am this morning cos I was exhausted!! Today we have given in to the dummy debate. We didn't want him to rely on one but he has been so clingy that we couldn't put him in his sleep cot without him crying again. And he has slept better this afternoon only waking to be fed and then gone down again.

Right the beginnings of a cry are starting - sorry I don't have time to say nice things to everyone but sending all you overdue ladies lots of wishes for a speedy process and hope those of you stillto get to your edd are managing with the aches and pains well. And to the other mummies I will see yuo in the jjb's mummies thread soon. I just can't keep up with you lot!!
