Hi ladies, not had chance to catch up yet. Been really hard going after the section- wound has reopened and swelling is so bad my tummy touches my legs when I sit or walk up a step so am constantly stuck lying down or trying to sleep while dosed up on painkillers. Feel like a proper prat too because loads of you ladies have had emergency sections and dealt with them much better than I am and also, i said I'd still be here once the LO was born and I've not been.
Hoping to have a look through and see who has had their little ones since last I looked- already seen jo- fearne is such a cool name. Congrats jo and all
The other ladies with new arrivals.
Section mums - advice please, what should I be doing to make sure it heals? Should I be laid up in bed or walking around? Do i need more sleep? Etc etc

That sounds terrible Tracy. Take it easy hun. You've been through quite an ordeal. Let your body tell you what it can and cannot handle.

awww i was reading some early posts on here when we all came over from 1st tri and looking at ppls sigs. some sad news and excited posts and nearly all with babies awwwwww its been a journey hasnt it !

I know what you mean Sarah. I look at Mackenzie now and still can't believe I finally have my baby girl!

I have a few minutes to tell you dexter james brian was born on monday 17th weighing 8 pound 3 by ventouse. Escaped induction by 8 hours. Contractions 3 minutes apart straight away. Was told it would be a 12 hour birth but there was some drama along the way! He is absolutely gorgeous and we are smitten. Will tell the full story when I get a moment. Hope all of you are well have not been on here for a week so need a good catch up.

Congrats luv!

Beccy, Susie, Abstersmum and TLC.... You can have your babies today, OK?

Congrats Mrs Phez!! I love the name.

We were thinking about you this week.

Still no baby here. Obviously. LOL.
Going for a nice Sunday Roast with my Dad this afternoon for more distraction techniques...

41 weeks today...

congrats to all the new mommies.

I haven't been on here much, I'm pretty much tired and discouraged seems like I'll go overdue. I did a self check on my cervix and couldn't feel it 2 days before my appointment last friday, so when I went for my 39week appointment I already knew I wouldn't hear good news.. Of course the doctor said "your cervix isn't ready, see you next week" then they scheduled me for a appointment that is past BOTH due dates that they gave me. I was given the 25th and the 27th but my next appointment is the 28th.

I am beyond tired of being pregnant. My unemployment is probably going to be denied, so money is tight, my husband has been here 2 wks when he really should be in NY working so the bills can be paid, so by the time our lil girl is born he'll have to leave a few days after to work. I am feeling more pressure down below and sometimes get a dull ache in my lower back. I am going to the bathroom more often so now I TRY to stop drinking water after a certain time so that I don't have to get up every 30 minutes to go to the bathroom... I did a self check on my cervix again today and it's still pretty high up (in my opinion)

Everyone is having there babies and I'm still miserably pregnant.


But a sincere congrats too all the new mommies! I'm going to check out some labor stories now since I have nothing but time on my hands.

:wave: I was thinking of you the other day, I thought you had your baby!

:wave: hey darling.. and Nope I'm still here and STILL pregnant. Getting all these phone calls, texts, blackberry messages asking if I had the baby yet. I can't wait to finally say "yes"

 

[millward329]

A really late update:

I had my daughter Elise Grace at 12.30am on 18th January

I woke at 5.30am on the 17th with contractions roughly every 6 minutes..
Ryan woke just before 7 and had a non-blanching rash on his arm (that wouldn't fade under a glass, so we panicked a bit), took him to A&E, and were transferred to an observation ward. We were there until 7pm, him having antibiotics through a drip, and me continuing to have regular contractions! We got home just after 7 (I had planned a homebirth), and my waters broke at half past 10. I had a really relaxed birth (which seems strange to say after all that!), and gave birth naturally (eek..) at 12.30am on the 18th. She weighed 6lb11oz, and she looks so tiny! Have spent the last few days trying to track down small baby clothes as all that we have are too big.

 

[sar35]

awww congrats and well done. how is ryan now? she is a little darling x

 

[lauren-kate]

awww congrats and well done. how is ryan now? she is a little darling x

He is fine thanks. He had 2 lots of antibiotics on the 17th and then they sent a couple of nurses out the following day to give him more. The blood tests after that came back clear - I felt so sorry for him though, he was like a little pin-cushion! They didn't really know what it was.. some sort of viral infection, but I'm just glad it's gone now.
