Dory i'm so confused why wouldn't they just do the tongue tie right away? they know it can cause feeding issues! so frustrating!!!!

so labor signs here. just. waiting. still very low, occasional lightning crotch. pressure. bh. more snotty plug. that's it. very exciting.

Sounds positive Rhi and Lavochain!

I had such a lovely midwife!! I haven't seen her before despite her being listed as one of my 2 key midwives She was fantastic about my anxiety, had loads of information and ideas. Aaaaaand she gave me a sweep and said I'm a good 2cm and she touched baby's head!!! Bishop score of 4 if that means anything to anyone.

She was even fine and supportive of me checking my own cervix and pumping antenatally and gave me some syringes to store colostrum.

It is amazing and scary that midwives can be so different. 2 weeks ago the lady I saw, although nice, said that there was no way I would get a sweep at this appointment!

I've got a half hour walk home now! Wasn't expecting to have been examined let alone swept!

I'm so glad you saw a decent midwife, I have no idea what a bishops score is but it's great that she gave you a sweep! hopefully not long now for you.

What did she say about pumping? any extra info is great as it's what I'm doing.

Just back from weigh in with Georgia. She's 6lb 15oz now but has dropped an entire centile so they want to push her tongue tie referral through.

Good luck to all those ladies who might give birth over the next couple of days. I will be checking in as often as possible but my 3 year old is having surgery tomorrow so I expect to be pretty busy.

Angel - I'm sure my bishops score was 5 when I was overdue with my first and had a sweep. I went into labour less than 48 hours later. Fingers crossed.

I hope Georgia's referral comes through quickly. I hope your dd's surgery goes well tomorrow

That is exciting! so many of you now so close to giving birth, I wonder who'll go first?

20 days until my due date and I have a freaking cold! The world is a cruel place! I. Am. Miserable... And I'm also stuck at work for the next 10 hours!

Oh no hope you feel better soon

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Jalilma I'm sorry you're not feeling good I hope you're on the mend soon

Dory is it usually a long wait to get tongue ties sorted? Has she dropped a centile since birth or more recently? G has dropped from above the 91st to the 50th and is now tracking the 50th line and they're really happy with that it's great that they're helping to get the tt fixed though

I love that little girls are easier to dress. Xander didn't wear clothes till he was about 6 months because I didn't want him uncomfortable in jeans or chinos.

Georgia has got two little dresses that fit and my brother brought this round - I can't believe he casually turned up with a cardy after all the trauma we had trying to get her one

[Tinky_82]

Rhi and Lavochain hope it's things getting going for you both.
Dory I hope the surgery for your little one goes well.
Nothing really happening here just some occasional cramping. I'm glad of it though as I'd rather bubs stay put until ds impetigo has cleared

 

[vaniilla]

Pixie - she looks so adorable in that outfit!

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Nawww pixie. So cute!!

 

[AngelofTroy]

Since the sweep I have had period cramps and irregular contractions.. Trying not to get my hopes up l as I had 2 unsuccessful sweeps with my son...

Losing lots if plug today though even before the sweep some was brownish tinged.

 

[Lavochain]

Jalilma - Hoping you feel better soon. I hate colds, they really are miserable at the best of times!

Pixie - She is a beauty. I so get what you're saying about boys clothing. I found a comfortable little outfit today in M&S but they only had smaller sizes and I don't want to risk it with his growth being off the chart so far. :/

Fingers crossed Angel!

Ugh. the heat is too much today. I'm regretting going out but I've bought a nice towel lol

 

[Dory85]

Angel, that really does sound promising.

Georgia wasn't referred for her tongue tie straight away because it's a posterior tie and only 1 in 3 are troublesome. As she was in scbu and wouldn't have been able to go to the clinic anyway they wanted to see how it went.

She dropped almost a centile after the first couple of weeks and they were hoping she would stay there but she's not quite following the line. It might be the cause of her reflux too which I am desperate to sort. Gaviscon is such a pain in the bum and only helps a little so I'd love to stop it.

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Oh fingers crossed Angel!

Hope you're feeling better soon jailima. My DH has a cold atm and I'm terrified of catching it off him at this point!

Hope everything goes well for your little ones Dory. Must be really hard for you

Georgia is so cute in her little outfit! I'm getting impatient now for my own teeny baby seeing all these cute pictures! I'm also desperate to know the gender so we can go shopping for some nice things, 90% of the clothes I have are completely plain white vests and grows.

Lavochain I'm finding the heat awful as well! I was melting on the nursery run.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Georgia has loads of gender neutral stuff from asda - it was the only things that fit lol. I can't wait to find out what you're having! Do you have a gut feeling?

 

[tinkerbelle93]

I think there is something nice about dressing newborns in the plain white grows ect but I still can't wait to go shopping not sure but Im leaning more towards a little boy, everyone in RL seems to have made their mind of what it 'definitely' is, although half are saying girl and half boy there was no nub in the scan pics so can't hazard a guess on those either!

 

[jalilma]

Oh fingers crossed Angel!

Hope you're feeling better soon jailima. My DH has a cold atm and I'm terrified of catching it off him at this point!

Thank you... Me too.
I'm also super excited to find out what I'm having. A friend gave me all sorts of gender neutral stuff... Which I really appreciate... But I Am itching to buy cute little boy or girl specific things!

 

[Lavochain]

I really admire you ladies how have waited to find out. I woke up one day and booked a scan because I was so impatient!

 

[joeybrooks]

ok ladies. here goes. baby Leo was born this morning at 7.15am. It was far from the experience I had hoped for and another very traumatic labour.

They gave me the propess yesterday at 9am and by about 9pm they had to take it out as my pains were coming too fast. They examined me, which was complete agony and I was 3cm. because of this the pains and my rising BP they brought me to the delivery suite. I had diamorphine which was fab and really took the edge off and some gas and air. They were going to ask me to have an epidural for the BP but because I'd got to 5cm on my own she said if I'd rather I can just keep going, so I did. I was ready to push at around 6am and I was so delight that Id had such a lovely natural (painful beyond belief) experience and then it all went wrong. when the placenta cam out I lost so much blood. I told them that when I sat up it felt like there was still a baby in there so she checked me and I was just full of clots. The Dr had to reach up.and pull them all out to try to stop.the bleeding which was almost as sore as giving birth.

so there you have it, I have my beautiful baby boy and this is 100% my last baby. sorry of any of the message makes no sense, I haven't slept since Tuesday.

 

[Boo44]

Yessss Angel how amazing! I'm so excited for you come on labour!!

Georgia looks so cute pixie!

You can get nice soft comfy boys things too you know you just have to be a seasoned boy mum like me and look in the right places. H&M do fab boy leggings

Dory that sucks they haven't referred her yet. My friend had a baby 5 days ago and he's having his tongue tie snipped today! Hope it helps. Do you have very sore nipples?

Will attach a pic of Arthur in his summer outfit - he's all curled up as if he's still inside!

 

[Boo44]

Oh joey congratulations on the birth of Leo!!! So sorry it was a difficult birth it sounds like you did amazingly xxx

 

[Lavochain]

Arthur is such a darling!!

Joey congratulations. That sounds absolutely horrific, I'm sorry I can't say much more than I hope you recover soon. Welcome to the world Leo.
