Just a quick update from me ladies. Had a phonecall from the hospital this morning and they cant fit me in till Friday for a scan. Im seeing the consultant anyway on Friday but I now have to have the scan before the appointment so that he can discuss results and make a plan. Not happy as thats another 2 days before we find out if Hayley is ok, apparently the dr from triage is happy for me to wait till then but if movement drops off again or I have more leaking im to call and go straight in.

Hope things are still progressing for you Tracy

Jo - you had any more contractions or have things quietened down now?

Mrs Phez - fingers crossed everything kicks off for you soon, your baby must be very comfortable in there.

make sure you keep a close eye on those movements then hun, and don't hesitate to go straight back if you don't think your getting enough, 2 days is a while to wait when there are concerns!

Been getting a few tightenings today, a little bit more painful than ususal BH but not coming regular like last night. Feeling very thirsty and only eating small amounts because had a couple of boughts of diarrhoea again and was a little bit sick. body definately clearing out but for how long that will go on is anyones guess I just hope if things start up again tonight it will be for real because these mild contractions that are faffing about are enough to keep me awake and exhausted yet serve no purpose what so ever! Not my idea of labour!

any news on tracy? can't believe 3 of us up niggling and stuff in the night and no babies! Better luck tonight mrsphez! Tracy hope your is well on the way before then! x

Wow things have been hotting up!

Just wanted to catch up and and see how everyone was doing!

To my edd buddy MrsPhez I hope your feeling ok and sending lots of labour luck your way!

Tracy c'mon woman get your arse in gear lol!! Bless you at least things are happening now.

Jo you too! Hope you start to prgress soon love!

Toby had a dodgy afternoon/evening yesterday and wouldn't stop crying for about 4 hours! Upset me a bit but think that was the hormones more than anything. On the plus side he enjoyed his bath yesterday morning and we went for a little walk at lunchtime which he slept through lol.

He slept well last night though after finally going down after his feed at half 11. He fell asleep on me in bed and then I dropped off and woke at 1am thinking he should really go in his bed lol. So he went in and woke at 5 past 4 ofr another feed, went back down at 5am and then woke again at half 8. Then all he has done today is eat then sleep lol. I even managed to escape to go to the supermarket for half an hour just to get essentials. Crazy times and didn't think I would be doing this yet. Felt weird to leave him though!!!

Got some friends coming round shortly to meet him for the first time. So I best go lol!

Hugs for everyone!

Cheers ladies, still here at home. Contractions still irregular as anything although are getting closer and more painful. I CAN still talk through them but don't really want to- just people keep talking to me during them. It was never made very clear if the contractions are bad when you don't want to talk or when you can't talk. Either way they seem to be pretty much on top of each other but not consistent in amount of pain or duration. Mostly I'm just tired coz I've only been able to sleep about 10 mins at a time and that was earlier in the day. Am worried it's not even proper labour because I'm starting to get tired and grizzly now.

Good luck to jo, mrsphez and rachael- all just as likely to have the next jellybean as me.

Leanne. Lol- I'm trying to get a move on, not as quick as I thought.

 

[Disneydancr]

Its a shame we all live so far apart, we could of all met up!

agreed. If anyone comes out to California and wants to take the family to disneyland, just let me know. I can sign in 3 people per day (babies under 3 don't count.

good job eating light. I never had the clearing out, and when I first went into labor, my bowels were impacted (constipated) and it doubled the pain of the contractions before I finally got my epidural.

Yay, Tracy!!! Don't worry about nothing happening. You said you were 3 cm dilated, which means you're in active labor. There's no real reason to be at the hospital unless you want pain medications. I would head back, though if the contractions are on top of each other. Even if they're irregular, that could mean you're progressing quickly- and I don't think you want a home birth!

 

[millward329]

Yeah may be just as well to ask to go back for a progression check Tracy, I'm sure they won't mind a phone call either x

 

[millward329]

On checking third tri I can see that Noodlejuice due on 5th had Jasper at ten to one this morning. Also JaymeeBee had Peyton yesterday at 6.21 after what seems like days of labour. Congrats to both x

 

[jms895]

Mrsphez, hope it was related to labour and you go soon.

11 hrs in and I only seem to get contractions when I'm comfortable. Sod's law doesn't quite explain how I feel about that. I feel a bit like crying in frustration that I'm in pain and it's not going anywhere and I can't get any sleep either. Watching Adam sleep and I am so incredibly jealous.

Just to let you know hun I was like this all day New Years eve then when it finally kicked in, it was quick. May be positioning of baby. at least things are starting xxxxx thinking of you xxx

 

[jms895]

Jo, MrsPhez and Rachael , thinking of you all and hope babies are here very soon! xx

 

[pinkie77]

Oooh more babies! Think mines forgotten where the exit is lol

Congratulations to the new jellybeans x x x

 

[MrsPhez]

The only news today for me is that I lost some plug, woo frickin hoo. No show still. No contractions, haven't even noticed BH. And everyone giving me advice on how to start labour, grrrrrrrr.
Oooh I'm in a fine mood aren't I!?! At least my little boy is happy, he's squirming away and actually, that's all that matters.

 

[smiffy85]

I'm still up!!! Have sent Jack to bed cos he looked knackered but I don't feel tired even though Toby is asleep. He will probably make me suffer later when I want to sleep. And no-one is around! Grrr! Lol!

Was fantastic showing him off to some friends! They all think he's awesome and he did a massive explosive poo in front of some of them lol. One of the couples brought their little boy with them who is about 18 months now and hes so sweet and a proper little boy. Our house isn't little person proof at all and his dady had to follow him around to stop him demolishing everything. When I showed him Toby he pointed and said 'baby' bless him. Then when they left he gave him a kiss! So cute!

Just tried to attach some pics but they keep failing so will try again tomorrow!

Good luck to those in the beginnings of labour!

Congrats to noodlejuice, jaymeebee and Laura!! Plus anyone else I may have forgotten!

I really need to check the mummies thread too now seeing as I now am 1!!! xxxxx

 

[iprettii]

urgh I'm feeling pretty down today.
it's basically just "one of those days" for me.

I "had" a doctors appointment today which apparently was cancelled.. The office has been closed since monday due to the recent weather conditions and they won't reopen until tomorrow so who knows when they're going to reschedule me because they're closed friday through sunday then after that I'll be 39 wks.

I was really hoping to find out if I'm making any progress but I guess I won't find out a thing.

For the past maybe 2 hours i've been feeling a little uncomfy sensation in my lower back, it doesn't hurt but it's noticeable. I doubt it means anything though.

Forget Me Not had her baby according to fb, a little girl born on 17th Jan weighing 8lb 9oz called Frances Elizabeth.

Holy Moley! she said she was going into labor on the 5th. I thought she for sure had her baby before yesterday!!!!! Congrats to all the new mommies!

 

[Mom 2B]

Hi ladies.....not sure what happened as i did post about an hour ago but its not here. So this one will be even shorter than the one i tried to post.

My son, Quinlan Matthew Stephen (Quinn for short) was born on Monday Jan 10th at 10:13 am by c-section after 18 hours of labour andd two trips to hospital (was not dialated at all the first time) I took the nipple stimulation advice and gave them a tweak as well as being thouroughly checked by dr and that seemed to do the trick.

Quinn weighed 5lbs 3oz and is considered IUGR even though he was born at 37+1. hes such a tiny little guy. Had some trouble with blood sugars staying up so BFing was not going so well the first 2 days and i had to give formula but hes a champ at BFing today. I am home from hospital a day early because i was doing so well. dont get me wrong im sore but im not feeling too bad.

I can't remember what else i wanted to post but ill write more if i think of it tomrrow as its now 1am here and im tired.

Sorry I jumped the queue...lol but baby Quinn wanted out. Hope you overdue ladies get your babies soon. Lots of labour dust....and do try the nipple stimulation nect time your having BH. I think it worked for me!

 

[jojo-m]

Congrats to all you new mummies!

It's been quiet on here tonight so I assume Tracy and mrsphez and rachael all had a better nights sleep and are still pregnant? I know I did but I really needed the sleep! Not even a BH last night! Only a few trips to loo for a pee! X

 

[millward329]

Yay for sleep Jo-Jo

Happy EDD Rachael x

 

[mum2be2011]

Due date for me today and no signs of little lady making an appearence

There must have been something in the air last night Jo as I had a good nights sleep, only woke the once for the loo. Phoebe was shattered and slept really well too. Cant understand why I feel as if ive had little or no sleep but hey ho.

Has anyone heard from Tracy? is she still plodding along in labour or has baby arrived? Hope for her baby has arrived as she has really suffered this week poor thing.

 

[lauren-kate]

I'm still here too :wave:

Nothing much in the way of 'signs' or anything, just spending the time freezing meals and cleaning
