June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[Dory85]

Yay for single digits angel I hope she's not keeping you waiting too much longer. Ditto for you beccy.

Well done Georgia what fab weight gain!

Dory sounds like Georgia is letting you get plenty of sleep, although totally understandable you're cautious after your little boy, how old was he when he had meningitis? X

He was 9 days when he was admitted so it was late onset.

I washed and changed Georgia, gave her a mammoth feed and now she's sleeping again lol! My son was barely rouseable when he was poorly so I keep reminding myself.

 

[Becyboo__x]

Well done Georgia! That's great gaining

We're off out today too becy, picnic up a hill with a big tower at the top! (ALL my activities now are planned around getting her OUT! )

We will get these babies out!

I'm okay doing things it's the after effect but generally hurts now whenever she moves! Feel battered

9 days.. Single digits. Wish I felt more hopeful. I just went back and read my journal from when I was at this point with my son and I was so hopeful it'd be any day, and I still had almost 3 weeks to go.

I know I should relax and let her come in her own time but I'm so impatient and miserable. All I think about is baby coming.

angel i hear you. i've been having labor dreams every single night for 3 nights. i keep hoping they mean something but doesnt seem so.

I've been having a lot of this egg white stuff/slippery whatever you want to describe it as but nothing else becoming silly checking everytime I go toilet now

These nerve pains are taking it out of me it's from my back to my bum! I can't bend without being in agony going out today for walk/park with dogs,ds and sister so might be something to take my mind off it!

i hear you i've been checking everytime i go to the bathroom as well. always hoping to find some pieces of plug or anything!!!!




We have started dtd in the evenings if we can and he's up to it. and i got some pieces of yellow snot on the tissue today (first time in a while) so really hoping that its more plug and things are getting started cause damn my spd is killing me.


has anyone done nipple stim before? i'm considering starting it this week. I did it with dd the day i went into labor but i'm not sure if it had anything to do with it. But i'm really considering doing it again this time!!!! i also have to look up how again lol!

Way to go with weight gain Georgia!

Your worry is very understandable Dory, but you do know the difference - keep trusting yourself

Had monitoring this morning & CTG showed LOADS of movement - but I couldn't feel most of it. Movement reduced compared to yesterday but not to the extent that it was before I was admitted. I got checked out by the Dr & can go back up to be admitted if I'm still concerned - other indicators are fine. I'm not particularly concerned at the moment but am going to concentrate on what baby is doing today & aim to get the really urgent things done in case I do have to go back in. I'm ready for a nap first though!

I am planning on trying it! We are also dtd most days now and I'm using epo and raspberry leaf capsules. Giving it my all!

That's a beautiful place though Angel! Maybe it'll get you later when you sit down and rest? fingers crossed! I think when I was having Xander I read that most people go into labour over night or wake in the morning with contractions.

It's fairly warm today but it's cloudy - I'm. Jealous of your lovely weather!

 

[Becyboo__x]

Angel it might come later..

I was fine out but about hour after I got back I felt it all at once back pain leg pain

I'm not doing much though I just feel she will come when she wants to I doubt nothing will encourage her it just causes me pain

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Looks like a lovely walk angel, fingers crossed things get going for you soon! I'm highly skeptical of baby eviction methods though. Nothing worked for DS so I just think baby must decide, no harm trying everything though!

So exciting how any of us could go into labour at any moment though, I'm getting excited for more baby announcements over the next couple of weeks

 

[Dory85]

I'm also sceptical of baby eviction methods etc.

With my daughter I walked 6 miles a day, drank rlt and took epo. I went 10 days overdue and had an 18 hour labour.

I didn't try anything with my other 2 and had one at 37 weeks and one at 34 weeks. Both were super speedy too.

 

[Starlight32]

Angel, that place looks gorgeous!! Maybe some bh will come on later. If anything, you sure got a good workout walking up there!

 

[Dory85]

I'm genuinely a but worried about Georgia now. She's feeding ok and having wet nappies but is still very sleepy and I'm having to wake her for feeds (10 hour sleep overnight and then 5 hours and straight back to sleep after another feed).

If it wasn't bank holiday we would go to the gp tomorrow unless she gets worse. I don't want to call 111 and have to drag her to hospital late at night if they are unconcerned as she's feeding ok with wet nappies.

 

[karlilay]

Does anyone know if labour/contractions can start out painless. I have had some pretty regular tightnings for the past few hours, it kind of feels a bit pressurey in my bum but other than that no pain, but my belly goes solid?

 

[Becyboo__x]

Top - now 39+

Bottom - DS 40+ (this was my last bump picture)

She's dropped again last few days!

Sounds normal .. Well to me it does.

I've been getting that last few weeks especially recently with tightenings my stomach goes solid aswell

 

[karlilay]

Yeah ive been getting it for weeks, but this has been every four minutes for hours now?

If you're worried I wouldn't hesitate to call 111, no harm in having reassurance

I would call 111 hun, I can't remember what is considered normal but if you are at all worried then it's better to ask than spend all night/tomorrow worrying. Also they could probably point you to an out of hours GP rather than A&E so you could get an appointment rather than waiting hours.

 

[Starlight32]

Dory, does her pediatrician have an after hours/weekend number you can call and talk to someone to see what they think?

The pharmacy mailed the wrong pump. I ordered the Spectra and they sent the Medela. Of course they are closed today and tomorrow! I left a message and sent an email but still going to call Tuesday morning. I know it's not a huge deal, but I spoke to them extensively on the phone prior to submitting the insurance forms, and they said they would definitely send the Spectra (some places apparently substitute pumps if they are out of stock). Just frustrated.

I think they can, yes. I'd ring up and ask a midwife, they'll most likely tell you to call back if they get painful but they may want to just check that you aren't one of the really lucky ones and dilating without pain!
