~ * ~ July Beach Bumps ~ * ~

Just the best birth story EVER!!! How are you feeling? He's very beautiful.....
 
Hey everyone! You are prob all as shocked as I am that i'm now a mummy! It all happened so quick!

Waters broke at 7.45pm last night, contractions started just after 9pm. They was getting stronger and more frequent so called triage twice but they said not to come in yet. At midnight pain was really bad and I felt the urge to push! Mad dash to the hospital - Was examined and they said I was fully dilated! I asked for birth pool but was told there was no time to fill it up. About an hour later Elliott arrived!

Am allowed to go home this afternoon - can't believe it's all happened so quick but am on cloud 9 at the mo just watching him sleep. :cloud9:

Congrats also to sherri and Anna!! DM sorry to hear Sophie has been teasing you, hope she makes an appearance soon!

Bec - I hope I have as smooth a birth as that! What an amazing story and he is such a cutie! You are now on the Beach bumps graduates thread! I'm so happy for you, enjoy your time with him and your hubby xx
 
Wow Bec great story, you did fabulously!!

So typical of the hosp to tell you not to come in, lol.

Huge congrats again - I love the name, and he's a little cutie :)

Xx
 
Holy cow all these babies falling out left right and centre!!! I'm crossing my legs for the next few weeks, I'm too busy to give birth right now not to mention I haven't got the crib or change table down from the loft or even started to get my bag ready LOL

Bec that's an amazing birth! Totally jealous of the speed!! He is a total stunner!!

DM I can't believe Sophie is still teasing you!!
 
Am quite ambivolent now....


That's not true. When they stopped I cried. I am soooo scared about Monday... Sherri's scathing reviews of her csec haven't helped! :rofl:
 
I saw that!! But then I'd already said that to you before, I have such total respect for anyone having a sec because that's the thing that scares me most!
 
Bec an amazing story I can only hope for a birth as straightforward as that!
Hes beautiful and Im so happy for you all!

DM, Sorry Sophie giving you gip again, I dont think you will make it to monday... As for your journal mate, WTF is she on?

Hann, thanks for re posting the graduates thread.

ive just managed to drag my arse out of bed and into the shower as my VERY PREGNANT friend is popping round for a cuppa, her due date is tomorrow!!

Sherri and Anna, still thinking of you both andyour babies are gorgeous!
 
Thanks everyone, I feel so lucky to have the kind of birth I had - I so didn't expect it to be so quick especially with my first! I was scared the hosp would tell me to go home if I went in so tried to hold out but the contractions were so quick an getting so painful I thought I'd be giving birth in the car!

Am feeling ok, just a bit weak and weird! Can't wait to get Elliott home, will feel weird going home with a new little bundle of joy!
 
Amazing birth Bec! So happy for you. :)

We can all quiz you on any signs you had and what the contractions felt like now :)
 
Huge congratulations Freckles!!!! I can't believe that you had such a quick birth - so lucky and I can't believe you are a Mummy today - Elliott is such a lovely name.

I would like your birth too - what is your secret???!!!

Melissa - hope you have a lovely day with your friend today.

Linds - sorry that the contractions have stopped, maybe they will re-start again?

becs - congratulations on the birth of baby elliot. Your birth story is amazing well done.

dm - sorry that sophie is playing you again today.

Hann - great news that you have had no back pain, the acupuncture must have been great.

mel - hope you have a nice time with your friend.
 
Oh my god just popped in and another 2 babies have arrived!!! Yeah!

Congratulations Freckles, sounds like the perfect labour & birth to me. Cant wait to see a picture :)

Congratulations also to Anna.

I wonder if it will be like this everyday, a beautiful baby being born, oh how i wish it was me!

DM i know how your feeling, i'm totally being teased, its so frustrating. On Monday i had contractions 5mins apart then after 6 hours they decided to stop, yesterday i had period like cramps with some contractions but nothing regular and today i've woke up with a stonkin headache & keep drifting in & out of sleep, its like someones beat me up. God knows whats happening but very frustrating, i just want her here to give her cuddles. I hope Sophie stops teasing you soon and you get to meet her xxx
 
@Mel - no idea. When I said "what?" I sort of knew what was happening as I'd seen Spu's comment. I'd text spu to say oooh no, she's a bnb'er, please edit, but she didn't get it til this morning. I was NOT expecting that level of defensiveness or attitude at all! Particularly when my previous posts were about how miserable I was feeling yesterday.

Still getting the pains but theyre extremely random. My afternoon has been considerably lifted by the man on This Morning who farted loudly while being interviewed then proudly declared that he had crapped himself on live television. Tre-fucking-mendous!
 
Ooooh Sparks..... must be so much more intense for you and all the girls that have had sleeping angel babies. :hugs:
 
Your birth sounds fab Becs! Glad you didn't deliver in the car!!!
Looking forward to hearing about more births, gotta love a birth story (just hoping it'll be me soon! I'll be going mental if it's overdue!)

Is it normal to have really bad lower abdo pain at this point in pregnancy? I have had it since the false alarm on Saturday. When I say bad, like 2 co-codamol not touching it at times!
 
i've had a lot of that. to the point where DH has to manouver me about as I can't get up or walk cos of the pain and pressure. I think it's normal. they didn't seem to fazed when I got it for the first time while in hosp but who knows....
 
I'm not too sure our desperation to meet our babies is any less than everyone else. The only difference maybe is our fear factor which i guess gets worse as each day passes, with nothing else to fill the head at times, it does creep in. But i have a beautiful guardian angel making sure her little sister arrives safetly, that i do believe for sure.

As for tge man farting on tv i so wish i saw that haha hope someone puts it on youtube!!!
 
I think its normal too, the pressure gets bad at times and like DM said you find it hard to walk around, its like baby is gonna just fall out and trying to poo can be rather uncomfortable :(

Seriously! Fpmsl!! Who was this guy?? Must youtube it when I get back online! Oh and I haven't been keeping up with your journal lately but sounds very annoying! Will try to catch up when back online.

Argh my day is not really going as planned, all sounded wonderful at 7 this morning. BT guy can't install the phone line til the rain stops, and my mum and sis are already out shopping because they had to fit it in with the babies' timing (my niece and nephew). Meh!

Oh and they delivered the Internet hub at 9 this morning, didn't bother ringing the bell, and now it's been sent back to the post office and I have to wait 24 hrs to collect it! Serious effing numpties!!

Hann - I think I'm having the kind of day you had with your M&P delivery! :(

Sorry for the moan... I'll get over it.
