June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[Dory85]

Finally lost some plug this morning, I know it doesn't mean anything but I'll take it over no signs at this point!

TMI but I also got my hopes up that my waters were leaking when I woke up with damp pjs but I've had nothing since... So I'm guessing it was either sweat or a bit if pee...

Imagine if you had a due date baby!

On a serious note - it's a very positive sign for avoiding induction.

Where is Starlight! I'm obsessively refreshing and I really should be getting on with my own life lol!

 

[Teeny Weeny]

So are we all full term now?

Joey, I hope they have a plan of action for you soon lovely. It's so hard being away from the children.

Angel, happy due date and yay for losing some plug! I hope labour happens real soon.

Karlilay and Dory... Your daughters look beautiful in their outfits.

Mumttc, I had severe itching early on and phenergan really helped.

I'm looking forward to more babies arriving. I know I'm in the home stretch and due next week but I would love to go into labour just a little bit early. I am so impatient and really want to meet my princess now. Xx

 

[AngelofTroy]

I love seeing the gorgeous babies in all the little outfits!

 

[joeybrooks]

DS will be coming to see me after nursery. He asked his daddy if he could do I don't want to stop him, as hard as it is. maybe I'll feel better when I know what is happening and when ill be home etc.

The girls are adorable in their wee outfits.

 

[ehjmorris]

37 weeks tomorrow! I cant wait till he is here and join the convo on feeding, sleeps and outfits

8 days to go

 

[karlilay]

I am stalking this thread so much waiting for all your babies, I can't wait to see them all ��
Angel the sounds so positive! Poppy was born on her due date, they told me only 4% of babies are

 

[Becyboo__x]

Not managed to get her in any nice outfits nothing fits her I didn't buy anything in newborn except a few sleep suits everything is far too baggy on her

 

[joeybrooks]

Just had an internal. I'm 2cm with a soft favourable cervix. I had a sweep and if I don't go into labour on my own I'm 24 hours ill be induced tomorrow. I am absolutely freaking out, all of a sudden I'm starting get.to.remember how sore labourers!!!

 

[Teeny Weeny]

How proud does your son look Beccy. Beautiful picture. Xx

Joey, how exciting! You are having a baby soon. lol I hope you go into labour naturally, keep us updated. Xx

 

[vaniilla]

I love seeing all the photos of your cute babies

Joey - that sounds like good progress, maybe you won't need the induction after all

Angel - I think at this point it can only be a good sign! fingers crossed you get more signs.




AFM - having some crampy braxton hicks today, I'm hoping DH can come out of work to help with the school run.

 

[Lavochain]

Beccyboo - What a beautiful photo.

Joey - Exciting news. Good luck!

I can't wait to see more babies.

 

[mum22ttc#3]

Good luck joey, hope you go into labour yourself rather than having to be induced.

I've seen the midwife and she's said to use calamine lotion but for anything more than to see my gp. Am going to give the lotion a go this afternoon and if it doesn't make a difference overnight book an appointment for the morning.

She said baby is now 2/5ths engaged which she thinks is a good sign as its my 5th and that hopefully I won't be making the next appointment in two weeks, can't say I'm holding out much hope though tbh.

 

[AngelofTroy]

I know they don't advise it but I often check my cervix and it is lower and more open today so I had a good poke around today sort of a diy sweep! Off walking to nursery and back now hoping it might speed things up!

there is a cream called eurex that you can either get prescribed or buy over the counter and it is excellent for itchy dry skin.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Ohh cervix checking.... I'm too scared to check that area tbh... I'm not really sure what I should feel for if I did ?! Very confusing

 

[vaniilla]

stick the calamine lotion in the fridge it'll feel a bit nicer. I'd also recommend oatmeal baths as it's quite good for chickenpox itching.




I'm too chicken to think about cervix checking, I refused to check my stitches when I had ds midwife kept trying to no avail!

 

[Boo44]

Arthur also doesn't fit in anything!! He's just graduated into newborn size (!) but they go up to 10lb and look ridiculously massive on him. He's far too long for first size now but still skinny enough... Definitely no outfits here yet!

Poppy looks so adorable and chunky! I saw that outfit in next and loved it!

 

[mommyxofxone]

ugh the cervix check i had when i had the false labor was so awful this time around. much worse than i remember ever having before!!! it sucked!

I lost plug yesterday and during the night, at least something is going on, even if nothing really is, it's SOMETHING to be like oh! i lost some plug! lol. Instead of the same old nothing all the time.

I have officially given up all hope of going early, and with only 11 days left i've resigned my hope to the realization i'm going the full 40 weeks. how disheartening. As long as i don't go overdue though i guess. i think i'll lose my mind if i go overdue.

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Ooh exciting news joey!

Happy due date angel

I'm loving seeing all these baby pictures! Poppy and Georgia look adorable in their outfits. How is your DS taking to his sister Beccy?

I'm also squeemish about stuff like cervix checking and also couldn't check or look at my stitches at all after having DS, I wouldn't even check my coil strings when that was in, I would be useless working in healthcare.

Scan looked all good this morning, baby has been following a good line of growth since twenty week scan but they still recommended I be induced so I'm booked in for one on my due date (1 week today!) which is quite scary, can't believe this will be my last weekend without this baby (unless it decides to come naturally first)

 

[joeybrooks]

Oh I couldn't do a sweep myself. that was such agony it would be like a firm of self harm to do it to myself.

I'm having horrible cramps on my right side. They are coming round to do their checks soon so ill let them know.
