June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[jalilma]

All but full term. Today I gardened and cleaned like crazy (just because I had an unexpected day off) went up and down the basement steps at least 10 times doing wash... And do you think I had even one Braxton hicks?! Nope not one crappy one! Ugh! I get tons on any other day but today nothing! Go figure. Having an accupressure appointment Friday evening... Not that I hold out much hope that it will start anything as I don't even think I've started to lose my plug yet... I still have my fingers crossed and my bags ready!

 

[Squig34]

So much to catch up on! Love all the cute baby pics

Joey, what happened with you?

Agteeing that Starlight must be having or has had her baby; hope it's all gone well.

We are grand. Bf'ing is proving tricky but i've had some advice & support & am expressing & supplementing with formula. Róise is a good sleeper, but I'm still getting next to no sleep - partly cos I keep checking on her & partly the pumping & partly due to having to feed her so often & partly just cos it appears that life with a newborn is very busy!! Here's another picture of my wee dote

I recently read that meconium is not a concern in babies over 40 weeks unless it is fresh and continues during labour. Sophie had lots of fresh meconium and they had to do obs for 12 hours after birth. She was in fetal distress but that was decided from her heart rate reaction to contractions more than anything else.

squig BP was and still is very high so I'm on A ward. last night was mental. Two girls laboured all night and the lights were on and machines bleeping etc. I'm being induced this morning so that was essentially my last full night's sleep for 3 years.

I'm actually starting to really freak it, it's all coming back to me from last time so if everyone could just hope and pray for a shorter and more positive birth date per is certainly I'd be grateful. not too positive though in case I'm tricked into having good another lol.

are you home now squig??

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Naww good luck joey. Will be thinking on you today =) fingers and toes crossed it goes quick and easy for you

 

[AngelofTroy]

[Tinky_82]

Thinking of you today Joey and hoping for a quick, straightforward induction

 

[Dory85]

Good luck Joey. Update us when you can. I don't think I can face looking for updates from Starlight AND you for days ;-) how exciting to have another baby here over the next few days!

 

[Dory85]

It's Georgia's due date today and she'll be 6 weeks old on Sunday :-D

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Good luck today Joey. Wishing you a safe and speedy labour. Xx

jalilma - Happy full term/37 weeks!


Squig34 - she's so so cute I hope bf gets easier for you

Joey, what happened with you?

joeybrooks - Good luck with the induction today, I hope it goes quickly and smoothly.

Dory85 - Happy due date Georgia! It really shows how well she's doing for being quite early.


Rhi - Losing that much plug must mean something, everyone that loses lots seems to go into labour, I'm getting my hopes up for you


afm - cramps today all morning, not contraction cramps though, impending diarrhea cramps. urghhhh!

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Good luck joey! Can't wait to hear updates X

Beautiful bump jailima

squig she's so sweet and teeny tiny looking!

Happy due date dory! Crazy you already have an almost six week old.

Did the pains progress to anything else rhi??

Sorry you're in pain vanilla, could still be a sign of labour impending

I really hope starlight updates us soon

 

[Boo44]

Happy due date Georgia Lauren!

Good luck joey xxx

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Nope. Nothing. Had some back cramping for a while then I went to sleep and I feel fine today. The pains must be that lightening crotch that everyone talks about ? It's very similar to when your midwife gives you a stretch! Might be the best way to explain it. However you are not expecting it so its like owwww!

 

[Lavochain]

Good luck joey.

Just booked in to see the midwife at 2pm today. I've had some pretty serious swelling all night, can't even bend my fingers without it hurting. My mum had quite severe pre eclampsia with me so I guess you can't be too careful. I'm terrified of being admitted though.

Rhi_Rhi1 - that sounds just like what I've been having. It certainly takes you by surprise in the middle of Tesco!

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Lavochain I had really bad swelling the last time it was very warm. It went all the way from my feet to my thighs my BP was fine and it was just because of the heat (and I had pre-eclampsia is my first pregnancy so I was worried too) fingers crossed it's just the hot weather

Rhi lightening crotch is not pleasant at all - plus it makes you look like a div when you jump up and yelp lol. I hope it eases soon.

Joey my induction was only 6 hrs start to finish - it'd not always an age I really hope it's quick for you. Update when you can. We'll be here - obsessively refreshing like we've got no life

Squig so lovely to see an update from you! So glad your little lady is doing well. I promise I'll learn to do one of those accenty things so I can write her name It's such a beautiful name! How are you feeling? I hope your not too sore and the baby blues have been kind to you

Diarrhoea is a sign of impending labour vanilla! Ooh maybe it's nearly time for you too. I hope so! Keep us updated (about the labour watch, not the diarrhoea lol)

Afm - Carl went back to work today and Xander went back to school. I know I'm a baddy for saying it but it is wonderful! There is so much peace in my life right now lol. Hospital this afternoon but not till 4 - it'll be my first outing with both kids. Eek!

 

[vaniilla]

Lavochain - I hope your midwife appointment goes well, hopefully the swelling is down to the hot weather.

Pixie - I wish but I doubt it, I've had it lots of times this pregnancy along with irritating bh, I don't know how I'll know I'm in labour when it happens

I hope your hospital appointment goes well today

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Hope everything is okay lavochain =)

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Oh! And happy due date to Georgia! It's mental to think she's been here so long already. She's officially a term baby

are you home now squig??

A ward is awful! Lots of luck for today & praying for a positive experience this time around!

Yes we got out late on Monday afternoon & came down to my parents in fermanagh that evening. I am so sleep deprived but somehow coping - it's obviously due to a cute baby - if I got so little sleep in normal circumstances (ie no baby & just working), I'd be in a heap!!
