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

[mum2be2011]

Hi ladies sorry to be the bearer of bad news but we won't be having a 11.1.11 baby or even baby in the early hours. After hours of continous monitoring, urine and blood tests and an internal examination we are no further forward in having this baby.

Got to return to the maternity unit for a scan either tomorrow or Thursday (hospital phoning us with a time) to check fluid level around baby. Although they agree with me that I am leaking fluid (more likely hind waters than main waters) they don't want to induce me as yet unless fluid levels are low as babies heart rate is quite high and an induction could cause distress for baby plus they would rather it was a natural start because of what happened with Phoebe's labour.

Got to monitor how much I'm loosing as if it increases then they want to induce me within 12-24 hours due to risk of infection to baby.

Hopefully one of us jellybeans will give birth tonight. It seems so unfair that nothing I happening for anyone.

My boobs have very suddenly become huge, they must be a whole cup size bigger than yesterday. Anyone know why?

just you wait until a day or 2 after you have your little one when your milk really comes in! Or I wonder if it already has for some reason.

Hope the sweep sets you off Pinkie.
Yesterday, had the hot curry and hot bath, DTD and had the sweep with some bouncing around in between and a cup of RLT. Today, period pains/cramps only. ?????!!!!!

Those cramps are a good sign. That's how my labor felt.

Hi ladies, sorry for any confusion / concern I have caused over the last few days! Although I dont post on here very much, I do read it occasionally (I cant keep up with all you ladies nattering on, so I just read highlights every now and then! ).

For whoever was "stalking" me on Facebook, I can save some time there and point out that I use my Facebook about once a month.... if I am feeling adventurous! I am not a big fan of Facebook so hence I dont go on there very much.

Rest assured, if anything does happen, updating you guys is fourth on my list!!
1. Ring mum - lives in France, she needs to get on a plane
2. Ring brother - lives in Swindon, he needs to drive up here (3 hours ish)
3. Work out what to do with Phoebe until someone can get here!
4. Update BnB ladies so as to avoid public flogging!!!
5. Go to hospital (Perhaps this should be moved higher?!)

Hope all is well with everyone still expecting Hang on in there... not much further to go now, just the painful bit at the end, followed by the joy and elation of holding your new baby! Oh.. and every bloke around you whispering "How the hell did that come out of there!?"

For those of you that are back in the "non-pregnant" world, congratulations I hope everything is going well and continues to do so (I whispered that bit by the way as I'm sure you all want sleep!)

Well ladies, as promised, I am updating you to let you know that we are about to be heading to the hospital, with a fairly high likelihood of being induced... today!!

No, this isn't a wind up! What timing! We have just posted to say "no, everything's fine" and 20 minutes later we are on our way!!

Well... as soon as Rache stops trying to tidy the house and gets in the damn car!! WOMEN!! (ahem)

I will update you all later to let you know how things are going, and if we have our baby Hayley

P.S. Is it wrong that I have told Rachael she has until midnight to have the baby?! I really want the DOB as 11-1-11

P.P.S You guys made it to 2nd on my list!!

You're so witty! I'm sure you're going to help Rachael enjoy her labor as much as possible. Thanks so much for being one of those guys. My OH wouldn't be caught dead on here!

Sorry it didn't happen for you... I'm sure it will soon.

oh blimey rachael i was really scared by your first sentence i though something had happened! Glad you are ok but sorry you arent getting anywhere...itll be worth the wait xxx

 

[MrsPhez]

Thanks for the encouragement Disney. Still just got discomfort in lower bump/cramps. Was thinking it could be DTD last night or the sweep though rather than labour starting. I really like thinking that I am in early labour without much pain and my cervix is dilating away. I can wish, right? No hope of a 11/1/11 bubba for me now either. Hey ho.
DH did a cast of my bump today which was fun! If anything was going to provoke labour we thought that might do the trick due to the sheer inconvenience of contracting while encased in plaster. I was a mummy, just not in the right way!

Hope your baby arrives soon mum2be. Sounds like you've had a hard day today.

 

[jms895]

Awww we want a 11/1/11 baby!

Racheal xx

 

[beccybobeccy]

Hi ladies. I haven't been a regular onto this thread but I thought I would let you know I became the mummy to my son on Friday 7th Jan. Born at 39 weeks. Planned c section. We have named him Axel. 8lb 10oz.

Xxx

Congratulations!!

Poor you! What a pain, glad for the most part everything is okay with baby and it sounds like they are monitoring you which is really positive.

You HAVE to be next MrsPhez... you've definitely done your time!! Good luck!!


Well I had an interesting afternoon too. As had to go to Delivery Suite... I phoned my MW for advice on the discharge (and the fact that it had turned an odd shade of greeny/yellow) just to talk it through. I mentioned the watery discharge and she asked how much movement I had felt in the morning. Well I'd actually not had that much movement because I was doing all sorts of housework and didn't really pay much attention to it. So answering honestly I said "not much" and explained about the housework. Anyway she told me to call the Delivery Suite who then told me to come in.

I had the LOVELIEST midwife. (I hope I get her in labour.) Who just wanted to check movements and make sure my waters hadn't gone.

They put a trace on, gave my belly a feel and instantly falcon went crazy, jumping around, kicking, hiccups (think we have a troublesome baby here!) Heartbeat was fine. She got her speculum out aaggggh!! That was not pleasant and confirmed it wasn't my waters trickling. Baby is 3/5's engaged.

It was strange and I felt a bit silly cause I'd not needed to do anything like this before and I wasn't really concerned until they told me to come in, I'd only just phoned for some advice but I suppose it was better to be safe than sorry. The MW couldn't have made me feel better about it.

 

[jojo-m]

Good to hear baby falcon is doing well Becky! Maybe their internal fiddling might set something off!

Mrsphez you def deserve to get a quick birth in tonight! X

 

[LittleMrs]

Agreed with all MrsPhez - you definitely deserve to go next, you're the most overdue by quite a distance.

Rachael and Luke - Sorry your LO isn't making an appearance tonight, mine isn't doing anything either. I hope that everything is as it should be when you have your scan and I suppose the upside is that you get to see your little one again before the birth.

 

[mum2be2011]

Tracy - I know what you mean it will be nice to see her again but I just want her in my arms. she is being stubborn just like Phoebe was and after all these scares watch me go way over now.

Sorry your baby isn't budging either, Im not overdue yet and I've had enough. Can't begin to imagine what your feeling.

 

[MrsPhez]

Think I may have had 2 actual contractions! Felt very nauseous with a bad period pain feeling and lower back ache for a minute or so each time. Nothing has happened now for 20 minutes so don't feel the urge to panic or get excited just yet. Hopefully it won't be too long now though. Tonight could be interesting. Let's see if I'm on here in the morning!!

[LittleMrs]

Mrsphez- sounds promising. Fingers crossed for you. X

 

[Disneydancr]

Sending good labor dust your way all you ladies!

 

[LittleMrs]

Ouch. Had two really painful contractions 9 mins apart, had a couple of clear-outs and there was a pinkish tinge when I wiped when I last went to the loo. Do I need to phone someone about the blood or is this just the 'show'?

 

[jojo-m]

Must be one of them nights! Can't settle in bed, not sure if having contractions or just lots of BH so I'm getting up and going on my birth ball. Been to loo couple of times now but have done last 2 nights.

Hun you can expect show to have streaks of blood that's great! X

 

[sar35]

oooooooooooooooh i think there are 2 ladies who will be having their babies very soon!
dont ask me why im up as Joe is fast asleep!!

 

[jojo-m]

Sarah your just addicted to here! Lol. I'm debating whether or not to go try sleep, its only very early labour if not just BH might have a better chance sleeping now bowel seems to be taking a break! X

 

[hodbert]

Bloody hell Rachael you've had a right time of it!!! Come on baby, time to come out!!!

Sarah get some sleep!!!! You're mental

Mrs Phez/LittleMrs hope this is it for you ladies!

Lorts & Laura - many congrats!

Holly is just in her swing for a bit waiting for OH's parents to arrive, no doubt she will feel like a celeb - OH's mum is snap happy with the camera!!!

 

[Fraggles]

Good luck ladies, we want more babies

Jacob is half asleep but im wide awake

 

[jojo-m]

Ok so now I'm sick too and pains although mild are coming every 5 mins. What do you think? Dare I hope it's the start? X
