June Bundles of Joy - 2016

Gosh that sounds really scary dory! Really hope it doesn't happen again. X

Keep us updated beccy. My waters went at home, I'd already been having strong contractions for hours then in the middle of a really strong one they just suddenly fished out in a quick splash. I think it varies soo much though by the sounds of it.

I agree online is probably best for tiny baby sizes, there is never much on shops! Dory I prefer babies in grows anyway, I think this baby will just mainly wear grows and vests for the first few months. I remember trying to cram my DS into little jeans at two months old, I was so desperate to use his outfits but then you realise how short lived the stage of them being able to go out in grows is

Thank you everyone

I don't know what's happening .. I'm having a home birth so don't ring hospital I just ring midwife to inform them etc but I know to put a pad on to check etc I've got one on now after I had a bath but after toilet I just feel wet and like few days the syrup type texture not water .. It might be leaking I guess? I'll see what happens tonight and call tomorrow if more comes

Will they not want to confirm it's your waters with a speculum? Just if you don't go into labour within 24 hours, home birth or not the risk of infection increases significantly and they would probably want to induce you?

I thought it smelled a bit like bleach but to be fair there was an infection in my waters which may have contributed to that. It was thick and syrupy though.

Loving all the cute pictures on the thread!

Teeny, great news about being cleared for a home birth! Will this be your first one or have you had others?

Becy, no experience with water breaking but my dr said it's a good idea to change underwear and see if it gets wet again. Definitely call and keep us posted.

More plug came out throughout the day. The color became less tan and more clear/snot colored as more came out. I'm having constant bh which seems to start at 130pm (it's 5pm now) like it did the past few days. I get one after the other. The doctor saw this on the trace yesterday and seemed to think it was normal though. They are getting more and more uncomfortable.

I've been told to put a pad on overnight and ring in morning it will be less then 24 hours anyway still then.. And if nothing is there then it likely wasn't my waters midwife said she will come and check me if needs be and check my cervix

All sounds like your going in the right direction!

Ladies I've been woken this morning with awful menstrual type cramps and back pain. I'm assuming this is all just part and parcel of late pregnancy but please tell me it is going to stop, they are very sore.

 

[Dory85]

Any news from Becy or Starlight (or anyone else?

Georgia only woke once last night and everyone slept in til quarter to 8. Amazing!

 

[Dory85]

Joey - that's how it starts for some women :-D I think at least one of you will have a baby soon!

 

[ehjmorris]

Maybe some new babies arriving

 

[AngelofTroy]

All my positive signs from a week or two ago have disappeared last Sunday I had painful contractions.. This week I've barely had any BH even.


Looks like some of you are heading in the right direction though, hoping to see some more babies arriving today!

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Looks like we are on labour watch again for some! So exciting!

Starlight, I had a HB with my daughter. It was awesome. I am so looking forward to another one. I did want one with DS2 but I was induced so that was no good. I totally advise a HB if anyone is considering it. Xx

 

[Squig34]

No advice for anyone but also hoping to hear news of some more babies arriving soon!

Heading up shortly to hospital for monitoring. Baby not moving this morning yet (I know she's ok though; I'm not saying this in a concerned way). I slept a bit better last night with being away from hospital though you all know how uncomfortable sleeping is generally so it wasn't as good as I'd have liked! Feeling ok though.

Hope everyone has a good day

 

[Dory85]

I keep refreshing the page every 5 minutes. I won't be able to stop until every pregnant lady has posted to check in lol.

 

[joeybrooks]

What do I do, just take a pain killer and see if that helps. He only time I remember cramps like this was my first period after coming off the pill. It is so sore it is making me feel sick. I feel like such a sissy. I'm assuming I don't need to phone the hospital or anything??

 

[AngelofTroy]

You could try a bath Joey, and yes paracetamol will probably help. If this is this start if labour for you then it probably won't do anything but I read baths are supposed to be good at weeding out false labour from real labour.

 

[Dory85]

I find keeping active helps my labour pains even if it's simply walking around the room or rocking from foot to foot. The worst thing for me us laying or sitting still and I'm one of the minority who finds water doesn't help.

 

[Tinky_82]

Lol Dory I'm like you - anxiously checking to see if any new babies have arrived yet! I was really excited when there'd been no posts overnight.
Joey I'd take a paracetamol and take a bath and see what happens.

 

[Tinky_82]

Joey also try drinking lots of water.
