~ * ~ July Beach Bumps ~ * ~

[Tor81]

Hann, I'm also feeling sick & dizzy.

Timed them an hour ago and they were 4.30 apart, lasting approx 45secs. Feel a bit more eratic now so will time again soon.

Feeling daft for going on a 5 hour walk and not having a nap or going to bed any earlier tonight, I feel shattered already!

xx

 

[caz_hills]

Sounds reallypromising Tor! Hope you can get some rest as if it's the real thing, baby will be here so soon! x

 

[Clareabell]

Good luck Tor and Hann hope something is happening for both of you!!

 

[Hann12]

I managed about an hours sleep then was woken up by pain but since then apart from very regular tightenings the pains have virtually gone. I'm still feeling sick and the baby is moving like crazy especially when the tightenings happen but the intense feelings have pretty much gone.
I don't know if they will come back but at the moment I'm feeling pretty devastated to have had 9+ hours of regular contractions getting more intense and now it's looking to be fizzling out. What is all that about?
I am exhausted and just want to sit and cry except that I'm so uncomfortable still. I'm so sad! Just wish so much that had been it, it seems so unfair to have all those hours for nothing!

 

[caz_hills]

Hann - hold on in there, my contractions stopped and then randomly started again a few hours later. I hope yours do too!

Guys - Ajay has fed off and on all night, I'm exhausted. He would only in my arms or th pram cot so I only managed to get an hours sleep on the sofa. He wants to eat non stop. I have my parents and sisters over to see him today - have no idea how i will cope. Sorry for the moan......

 

[samzi]

this is really getting disheartening now. sick to death of being teased.

 

[curlew]

hann - hopefully your contractions will start up again today.

tor - fingers crossed your signs look promising too

emzee - glad u have ur med sorted for post birth. from others experience it certainly looks the best way to go.

fi - sorry your hard work isn't paying off but even tightenings are helping to get your body ready.

caz - glad you got advice from the bf lady. losing weight is normal at 6 days logan lost 8.9% but is now packing on the oz. weighed him today and on our scales he is 8lb 9oz which means he has put on 13oz in 4 days he truly is a milk monster.

samzi - sorry your pains have stopped too. fingers crossed they will start up again soon.

Seems likee may be in for another wave of beach bumps being born - soooo exciting.

afm - logan slept from 12am to 2am fed til 3am and then slept til 725am

Morning.

Hann, so gutted for you, hope things get started again very soon like Caz.

Simmy, no further news re the leakage, whatever it is it hasnt been much, certainly not enough to soak a pad, so am just observing for now.

Caz,wow you must be tired, i hope you manage to get some rest before your family come over.

Samzi, am feeling your pain!

Tor, i hope things are progressing for you! keep us updated!

AFM Im struggling with this overdue thing now already and its only been 2 days. Had a good cry this morning out of pure frustration!
We are popping to the parents not gonna stay long though, im really not in a sociable mood at all. gonna come home and watch the Deathly Hallows part 1 on DVD before the apprentice final. xx

 

[melissasbump]

Curlew, yay for Logan sleeping so well! x

 

[caz_hills]

Curlew - good on the sleeping. Can Logan teach Ajay how to do that please?

Mel - sorry you feel rubbish today. Hopefully seeing your family will help? I'm watching the Apprentice hopefully tonight too - love that show!

Hann - hope you got some sleep, any news?

Ezmee - sorry you don't have any labour smyptoms yet too - they will come!

Grabbed an hours sleep - woke Neel up and said 'take him please'! He settled him really quickly (well in ten mins) and now feel a bit inadequate that he wouldn't settle for me. But I was up all night with him so am glad he settled anyway.

Off to feed again now so will keep up with updates as I can! x

 

[Hann12]

Woken up after finally getting some sleep, had 3 hours. Had a big cry before I went to sleep
I don't think they have started back again, when I first woke I had a pain but think it's just wishful thinking.
Officially joining you overdue girls today!

Samzi and Mel - to you both for the overdue and teasing signs. I can sympathise and just hope we get some luck and actually go into labour!
I have told myself that it's going to be 11 days now, working on the basis that I'll end up being induced !!

Curlew - glad Logan slept well

Caz - how are you today? Did the feeding get any better?

Tor - really hope you are in labour!
And Fi, Jenni and Simmy!

 

[DragonMummy]

Caz he settles better for Neel because he doesn't reek of yummy milk. Always a plan to pass baby to dad if he won't settle xxx


How is it all the early date beach bumps had their babies early, all the later dates are going overdue! Hope you all go soon. xxxx

 

[caz_hills]

Thanks Linds, that makes me feel so much better! I hoped it wasn't me just being rubbish.

Hann - keep smiling. Fingers crossed for the pains coming back today. x

 

[Blue_bear]

Caz, i was going to say the same as DM, Joshua settles better for J if he'sgot himself worked up.

Good luck to the rest of you, i know how frustrating it is! xxx

 

[topazicatzbet]

just been looking at the graduate thread and we must be due some more babies soon. its been a few days.

think my lo has decieded to wait til aug so he doesnt have to go to school on his b day like his big brother (his is in the christmas hols)

im actually jelous of all of those that are having annoying pains, i have nothing except a bit of cervix headbanging, then again i didnt with my first, waters just went.

 

[Aaisrie]

Caz did you find Imogen?

Hann - I had that for 3 days and when they stopped I crieddddd... I really hope they start up for real soon... Try and get some rest and keep your energy up!!

Tor hope stuff is happening for you!

Not sure what/who else I missed?!

AFM - my left hip has given up, like that sand in joint grating feeling... it kept waking me ALL night so I'm totally exhausted. Hopefully gonna go to Babies R Us today and pick up a few last minute baby things.

 

[mummySS]

Morning!

Hann, so sorry things stopped for you. Soooo frustrating! Maybe as Caz says they'll start up again but if they don't, I think you're doing the best thing by not getting your hopes up!

Tor, hope things are happening for you - can't believe you managed a 5 hour walk, I can barely walk to the end of our road!

Nothing happening on my front. Agree with linds, it's so strange that most of the girls due early in July had theirs early and all the later EDDs are late! I'm nearly a week late now and seriously running out of things to do Hence I am still in bed...

 

[Aaisrie]

Simmy it's Sunday you're totally allowed to be in bed!! Especially being majorly pregnant!!! I'm only up an hr but it's more because I was trying to get more sleep because of my damn hip. Aside from that I've NOTHING happening either, I had a few electric shock cervix pains the last few days but I checked my cervix yesterday and I can't even reach it *rolls eyes*

 

[Hann12]

Eve - I checked mine too and I can't reach it so I'm assuming it will be an unsuccessful sweep attempt tomorrow. I just don't understand what all these pains are doing if they aren't affecting my cervix!

Just been for a walk for an hour, baby still feeling lower and more central. Also getting ridiculous back pain on the right side and feel sick. I only want to eat fruit! I hope none of this is in vain and it picks up again soon.

Seriously who knew the labour process could be so awful?!

Eve - after the 3 days you had last time how long did you have to wait before labour?

Simmy - don't blame you for being in bed. I'll be going back there soon too.

Greg is going to come to my mw appointment with me tomorrow at the hospital, just in case. My mum also told me to have a glass of wine tonight to relax and send me off to sleep. So might be trying that later!

 

[Aaisrie]

Hann sometimes they can reach your cervix [it's a different angle] even when you can't reach your own BUT the pains are probably effacing... from what I *remember* your cervix thins out before it dilates so the pains could be the thinning rather than the dilating but it's still all moving in the right direction!!
In terms of the 3 days contractions that was this time not with Saraya. With Saraya I had a sweep then the day after another sweep [I wasn't meant to have the first one I was in for an internal to check something else... can't remember what!] and after the 2nd sweep I bled quite heavily and I had full on contractions for about 3 hrs, proper labour contractions that just suddenly stopped. Then the next day the full on contractions started again but I thought they would stop again but they didn't.
Hann I know it seems neverending right now but it will happen, you will have your baby soon!!! Just do everything you can to relax - remember tensing will only contract the muscles and make labour less likely. If you need to txt me, then do! I'm here, like I said we're going to Babies R Us today but I'll have my phone with me
