Not sure if I congratulated you both yet. I saw the updates this morning but was out and About and I can't remember if I posted. Congrats though =) well done to you both!! I'm super jealous I would give just about anything to go into spontaneous labour and not be two weeks past due date haha. Soooo jealous =(

Awwwww such beautiful girls!!!!

Girls massive congrats to you both on your beautiful baby girls, they are gorgeous and your a such both brave strong ladies for getting through those labours.

I had the worst pains today I came close to phoning the hospital. It was the worst cramps all around my back and front and my bump was going rock hard and then the most intense pressure. It went on for about 2 hours like that although all day I'd been having it on and off to a lesser extent.

I've been lying down since about 9.30 (it's almost 11 now) and haven't had another pain so I'm assuming it wasn't anything to get excited over but my god it was sore!

Great pictures!

The contractions are lasting about one minute every 7 to 8 minutes right now. They mostly feel like strong period like cramps.

I think baby must be sitting on my bladder in a weird position. I'm having more trouble then usual emptying it. I always have to pee!

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Keep an eye on that starlight. I couldn't pee when I had my youngest as babies head was stopping it. So I eventually started dripping blood... they couldn't even get a catheter in and it was more painful than the contractions. I hadn't been able to go all day but by the time I mentioned it. It was too late to do much as I was 8cm dilated. Labour only lasted an hour thankfully. Once the baby was delivered .... well let's just say I felt pretty bad for everyone at the tail end of the bed hahaha. Best wee ever

Congrats girls on the birth of your gorgeous bubbas

All these babies being born is making me impatient haha
I hope the recovery goes as well as it can

 

[Starlight32]

Rhi, yikes that sounds horrible

I don't know how you ladies did this... I'm finding the contractions to be really painful. They have been five to ten mins apart for a while now. The ob office wants them within 5 minutes before going into the hopsital so I'm seeing if they get closer. I'm so tired because I can't sleep while having them.

 

[Tinky_82]

Starlight that sounds tough, walk around as much as you can is the only advice I have. I hope things move along quickly for you.

 

[Teeny Weeny]

I used a birthing ball and that really helped with contractions.

Good luck honey, you'll have your beautiful baby real soon. Xx

 

[AngelofTroy]

Have you got a ball Starlight? My birthing class last time said to "rotate to dilate" whilst sitting on the ball to speed up early labour. The rotation plus the weight of baby's head on your cervix helps you to dilate faster. You can rotate your hips standing/squatting if not.

Hugs starlight xx

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Hope things are progressing well starlight =)

Afm I'm back over at the hospital later for "day care" really don't see the Point TBH but it's a good excuse to listen to baby etc =) hopefully protein is all gone so they stop fussing haha. Cos I can't keep going back for protein with no other problems. I haven't had any further visual issues etc so fingers crossed =)

 

[vaniilla]

Starlight that sounds tough I hope things are progressing quicker now and hopefully you're very close to being able to go to hospital.

Rhi - I hope your hospital appointment goes well and no protein this time!


AFM - I started expressing two days ago for 10/15 minutes a day, I'm going to up to twice a day in a couple of days time as I'm planning on building a small stash of colostrum before she's born as I'm hoping to combi feed on expressing and formula again. I got a few drops last night so I'm hoping I get a bit more today.

It looks like it's going to be a too hot week

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Hope this is it for you starlight, eager to see an update

Aw poppy is so cute and snuggly looking karli

Just trying to get more organised today. Ended up arguing with DH last night because he wouldn't help me with something when I asked him, we made up and he apologised but I really kicked off shouting and yelling at him and now I feel really embarrassed about the neighbours probably hearing it all, it was at half ten at night they probably hate us lol x
