January Snowdrops 2016: 58 BFPs and counting (12 boys / 8 girls / 4 surprises)!

[Bevziibubble]

9cm dilated already! My waters broke when she examined me and there was so much. Baby is still quite high so might be a while yet even though I'm at 9cm.

Congrats blessed!! Cute little chunky monkey

Yay Bev! So you beat your induction?

 

[Lucy3]

Embeth, can you get an epi where you are?

 

[Bevziibubble]

Yes I beat the induction by one day!

 

[embeth]

Woohoo Bev I'm loving the updates!!

Lucy I can.. They try and put it off as much as possible when u ask plus if I do I would have to be on a consultant led ward rather than a midwife led.. So much less medical and can leave when u want on midwife led.. I try and just ride the pain!!😉 managed two births with nothing other than gas and air hoping to make it a third! Xx

 

[Lucy3]

Woohoo Bev!! So glad he picked his birthday!

Embeth, I'd so be going to the consultant led ward! Haha. I had the gas and air this time until I got the c section - I don't know if I could have kept going without the epidural! 😬Hope your little girl comes out quickly!

Not long now bev I always have to wait a hour after Boeing fully dialted to start pushing as mine are always back to back that gives them time to turn ! In a way I want him to come now but at the same time if I'm at the hospital at least I'm there already when pain starts lol x

 

[LillyFleur]

I had to practically beg for gas and air, kept offering me baths/tea and toast and paracetamol/codeine

 

[Bevziibubble]

I'm fully dilated but waiting for baby to move down and round. I'm so sleepy, only had 1 hour last night.

 

[embeth]

Good luck Bev!!

Lucy I just hate hospitals like to escape as quick as I can afterwards.. Plus they are so reluctant to let u have an epi it's hardly worth it by the time u get it.. Lily they are quite mean with the gas and air too! Make u wait until your 3/4cm to give it to u!

 

[donnarobinson]

Good luck bev bet he's here by now
I had epidurals with boys x

Congratulations blessed. What a georgous little man.

Bev - glad that you went into labour naturally. I'm loving the updates whilst you're in labour. Epidurals really are amazing. I can't wait to see a photo.

 

[DannaD]

Good luck Bev!!

 

[Bevziibubble]

He's here!

James Alexander arrived around 2pm weighing 9 lbs 11.5oz and only 10 minutes of pushing. He's just perfect, is so alert already and a champion breast feeder. I will add a photo later, please don't mention on Facebook yet!

 

[embeth]

Congratulations Bev! And what a great weight! Big boy! Can't wait to see pics, enjoy him! Xx

Congrats Bev

Well after yet another morning in the assessment unit, ive now had second shot of steroids.
section is definately next week, i will get a phone call monday to give my date and time.
However yet again today they werent happy with her heart trace after being hooked up for 2 hours.... their solution: come back again tomorrow.
I dont get it... its like they would rather have me back every single day than deliver her now.
