June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[Rhi_Rhi1]

I'm here. I'm just in a slump of self pity so not been posting as I have just been checking in quickly from my mobile.

Angel- hope everything is okay

Tinky- congrats ! That's my biggest fear about birth though ahaha. Oh dear.

Nothing new with me. I'm settled in for the long haul now =( I got excited that I might have an "early baby" for once but now I'm just accepting that I'll be here till mid july. Blahhh

 

[Teeny Weeny]

I felt like that yesterday Rhi. I was reading but didn't want to post.

I have a sweep on Wednesday hopefully so maybe I should look forward to that!
I'm dreading all the stupid comments on school run this morning. Xx

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Yeah good idea teeny. Fingers crossed the sweep works!! I'm dreading the school run I've just parked up at my sons school now and luckily it's hammering it down so no one will want to stop and chat.
I'm not even due yet but ppl think it's okay to make comments because I always have to get induced. It's really not that hilarious having to hear "we knew you'd still be pregnant after the weekend haha" "you just can't get those babies out on ure own can ya " etc etc. I soooooo want to go into spontaneous labour =( they are killing my spirit lol.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Well I really messed up. I lifted my two year old up to stop him falling in a puddle and the second I did it I felt the worst pain in my pelvis. Like right in the front. Was so sudden and sharp I nearly threw up on a busy zebra crossing =/ then realised I couldn't walk anymore. I waved my son off then tried to get back to my car. Ten mins of shuffling in tears with my two year old getting soaked and I made it. After sitting down for ten mins I decided to attempt to drive home. I made it but I'm in agony. I can't move my legs at all without extreme pain and they just don't budge fluidly at all I have to almost push them to get then to move. I'm on the couch and I'm in so much pain that I can't even face trying to stand up again. Not sure what I'm supposed to do tbh. Seems trivial but I have never felt so much pain :/ pulled muscle ?!

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Rhi, that sounds awful. It does sound muscular from perhaps awkward lifting but call your MW to ask them. Don't suffer in silence, they should be able to offer advice to get you moving again. Xx

 

[Dory85]

Rhi - do you have spd? It sounds like you've done something to the ligaments at the front of the pelvis which is more relaxed than normal during pregnancy. Call your midwife. She might get you urgent physio (incase you need crutches to walk or something).

Hope Juni is ok Angel.

 

[mum22ttc#3]

Congratulations tinky

Hope you and baby are well angel and that you get to go home soon.

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Wow congratulations tinky! How long were you in labour for?

Hope you and juni are doing well Angel x

Sounds painful rhi I'd ring the midwife x

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Rang midwife and no answer =( I have an appointment tomorrow so I suppose I can wait it out until then. That way I'll know if it's still "bad" or maybe it will clear up overnight. I don't think I have spd I get the occasional pains in that area but from what I understand spd would have been agony not just niggling pains ? Can't believe how stupid I am. Ughh. I just cried climbing the stairs to use the bathroom. Not sure how I'm going to pick my son up from school. My husband said he can leave work if I need him too but "they" will be unhappy. So I would rather not drag him out =( I got lucky the two year old fell asleep on the couch after the school run and he is still laying there now snoring haha.

 

[Boo44]

Congratulations Tinky! Xxx

 

[vaniilla]

Rhi - that sounds really painful, get a hot water bottle on the area and call the main midwife office or even DAU should be able to advise you, I hope it calms down for you.

 

[karlilay]

Congratulations Tinky! He was in a rush to meet you bless him.

Rhi that sounds awful Hope it eases up for you a bit.

Not long Teeny, hope the sweep works for you.

Hope your little lady is ok Angel ❤️

 

[karlilay]

Poppy has had belly ache all morning. She fed fine all night, then had a full bottle at 7.30am, and has only had a couple of ounces since then. An ounce out of two separate bottles She's knock out so hoping she wakes up with a bit of a better belly and starving.

She's been farting away in her little basket so hoping its cleared. I've got some gripe water to give her when she's had her bottle.

 

[jalilma]

Rhi.... So right... Woke up feeling back to my usual self this am! P.s. hope you are not having too much pain that sounds awful

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Has anyone heard from Ehj? Did I miss an update?

Jalilma I was feeling so shitty at the end of my pregnancy, and then I woke up one morning feeling great, really normal and well. And labour started that evening, I think my body was giving me a second wind

Rhi that sounds awful! Could you get in at the Dr's? I really hope it eases would a warm baths help?

Teeny your bump is stunning. I wonder if I'm the only one that saw it and thought well, that's not teeny! Lol

I've missed so many babies! Congratulations mamas

Angel how is everything? Thinking of you

 

[Starlight32]

Tinky, congrats! So happy for you

Angel, hoping everything is well.

Rhi, that pain sounds awful!

Lots of tears this morning here. My baby wouldn't stop crying. My mom had to come over to help and I just feel like such a failure as a mom because I couldn't handle it myself.

 

[karlilay]

Starlight is she sick a lot? I'm just trying to think of somthing that might be upsetting her to make her cry so much? Maybe reflux ...? Wish I could help more.
Will she take a dummy? Poppy wasn't keen on the Mam ones which I had stocked up during pregnancy as my other two loved them, but I brought some TT ones which she loves. Not sure if Hannah is feeding a lot, but she might just have a high sucking need, and a dummy could help if you haven't tried.

Have you also tried swaddling? I'm not sure how to do it, but iv read a lot of babies love it.
Zach used to love the swing we had because he was moving constantly.

I feel for you so much, having a newborn is absolutley draining, without feeling like you can't out her down, and having to listen to her cry. Sending you

 

[Lavochain]

I think something might be happening here. I'm having some regular and really strong tightenings. They aren't painful as such but really intense and aren't going away with walking, in fact they seem to be brought on by walking! Not sure if it is a false alarm though. They're around every 6 minutes and about 30 seconds each. I'm also getting a strange fluttering feeling down below.

 

[karlilay]

Oh yay Lavochain, sounds promising. This time I started having pains every 5 minutes for 40 seconds from the offset... Keep walking, that's the best advice I can give anyone in labour. Speeds it right up...

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Sounds like baby boy might be making his appearance soon Lavo. Good luck and keep us updated. Xx
