July 2009 buddies wanted!!

[Elliebank]

He's gorgeous Gem!!

 

[wishingonastar]

yep...twiglet next time you need to lay in bed and fidget loads so you keep waking him up

 

[Twiglet]

I threw Jemima on him he did not enjoy it but I told him that she'd jumped on him of her own accord

 

[wishingonastar]

pmsl good thinking batman!!!!!

 

[Twiglet]

I'm all heart me got him up though

 

[shelleylu]

Hey girlies...

You know we agreed I was next?

Well I think I might be!! I cant say for sure, but I think my waters just broke!!

Theres uncertainty because it happened in bed - just after bd'ing.. Literally OH got out of bed and I turned over and there was a puddle! I have spoken to delivery suite who said monitor the loss from now on as it could obviously be other things. If I have more come out, then chances are this is it. I am soooo crapping myself!! I hope it is, and hope it isnt - but dont know either way! very frustrating!!!

Send me happy nice labour vibes please!!

 

[wishingonastar]

oh wow go girl!!! here's some labour dust

 

[shelleylu]

Thanks Wishing!!! I still havent had any more major leaks. A bit mushy, but thats normal isnt it?! Sorry if TMI!! Its horrid because I feel like I cant tell anyone because its embarrassing as is might not be that!

I hate waiting too... Will keep you all posted xxx

 

[wishingonastar]

hmmm...yeah his ummm...man juice would be mushy but if its very fluidy it might be mixed in with water...perhaps put a pad on and assess it that way?

 

[Elliebank]

Ooh Shelley I hope this it it!!!

 

[Sarah+]

Oh, Shelley! How exciting! If you're next, I hope it's very soon as Wishing, you must be getting impatient for your turn by now? No word from Godiva, so I hope that means she's somewhere she can't access a computer

P.S. Shelley - I am jealous that you feel like b'ding at this stage!!! I couldn't imagine right now

 

[shelleylu]

Well the stuff in the bed was defo water. When I got up and went to the loo, the man juice was there. Still no major signs though - have a bit of period type back ache, but nothin massive.

Ive been trying to find those pads you can wear to see if its amnio fluid or not. My mate had some for when she wasnt sure. Seems you can only get them off tinterweb though!

Sarah - dont get me wrong - has been only the 2nd time in about 5 months lol. Poor boy! But hey, if it gets things going, you should try it!!!

 

[Twiglet]

Ohh lets hope this is it Shelley will keep my fingers crossed for you!

 

[wishingonastar]

think they say bubs should put in appearance within two days of waters going don't they???? in which case if your body doesn't do it alone, you can soon march up that hospital and demand to meet your LO!!!

yes sarah - i'm a mixture of impatience and patience! now i've gone a whole week overdue with no signs i've kind of resigned myself that it aint gonna happen anytime soon, however it still sucks to wake up every day getting no further and see other peeps speeding along!!!

seen on facebook - sjk has named her little boy elliott

 

[shelleylu]

Hey ladies

Well still nothing here. No more leaking and no pains. Looks like a bit of a mystery to me. They said I should carry on losing water if it was, but nothing has come out??! Its really weird..

Went for a long walk anyway,will have a bounce on my ball and see if anything starts off. Tried to get hold of those pads you can wear to see if it was waters, but they only sell them online which is sad! Nevermind..

Loving SJK baby name. Very sweet. Cant wait to see some pics!

When my friend had her baby the other week her waters went on the Wednesday & she had him on the Sat, and there was one woman that had her baby 10 DAYS after her waters broke (and she has to stay in hospital that whole time)

 

[wishingonastar]

no way! that totally sucks!!!!! i thought it was within two days cos of risk of infection!

 

[Elliebank]

That's what I thought too!! I also thought if yr waters break you have to go in straight away & that they put you on antibiotics cos of the risk of infection, but at my antenatal class they said you should go in if yr waters break & they check it is them then if everything is ok send you home & arrange for you to go back in 24hrs, & they only start you on antibiotics once labour starts. That's better tho, at least you don't have to stop in. With my friend tho she wasn't allowed home, but that's cos her baby was 4wks early. Maybe the 10 day woman was early too & they didn't bring her labour on cos they wanted the baby to stay in as long as poss.

 

[shelleylu]

Hey girls,

Still nothing here. God knows what happened yesterday. Have read various things about waters breaking then sealing over straight away and not leaking anymore. I havent had a thing since. The hospital said to keep an eye on what leaks - well theres been sod all! Just a bit of back ache.

I have a MW app tomorrow, so thought it pointless phoning the hospital again to say nothing has happened. Just have to wait and see girls. To say OH and I were disappointed with the anticlimax would be an understatement lol.

Hope everyone else is well?

xx

 

[Twiglet]

Ahh bless you Shelley!

I've sent Liam to town for some clary sage oil! Mum used it with me so am gonna give it a try!

Watched Bruno yesterday! Its funny...not as good as Borat, bit crude but still made me chuckle
