I see you mommy! How is James? X

We have my sons 4th birthday party today we must be mad mainly because its forecast rain from 4 and we have a ton of people coming for bouncey castle and BBQ!
 
I'm just being a moody bum and probably ignoring most things. I am sorry, just a big fat overdue mess of hormones.
Don't feel left out Mommy. Xx

Jalilma and Vanilla. Thinking of you both today. Xx

Boo, I hope the rain holds off and little man has an awesome party. Xx

Squig, it sounds like your supply has really ramped up a gear which is great. Xx

Starlight, I'm glad baby Hannah is fine. If you are having problems with DH (which is VERY common after birth) just try and talk to him. Sometimes they need a little nudge in the right direction to understand the help we need. Xx
 
Sorry mommy, I often miss people/posts as it moves so fast! How is your little man?

Boo I hope the rain holds off.

Ladies waiting for labour/induction, it can't be long now!!!
 
Mommy, I know exactly what you mean! I have actually gone back a couple of times to see if what I wrote actually got posted lol. I think it's because the board moves so fast and I know I'm always on my phone and not a computer so can't always remember who said what when it comes to posting.

Can't believe how local you are Boo! Some of the other parents in SCBU were transferred to North Tees because it had the closest cots at the time and they live in Newcastle. They said their were parents with babies on neonatal who lived in Preston and could only visit on a weekend because they had school age children too. There were lots of very poorly babie there and they saw a couple who didn't make it :-( when they told me it really put things into perspective that although Georgia spent longer than average for her gestation in SCBU we were still very lucky.
 
Speak to your OH hun, it's horrible to resent someone. I have a warped mind and literally will exept no help from anyone. Jonny had two weeks off work and I wanted to kill him. The first two days were helpful because I had such bad after pains I couldn't move much. But I have been doing the full housework, all the night feeds and both school runs since day three. It gets more on my nerves if he tries to help, because he doesn't do anything how I do, and I see the kids and house as 'my job'. It's been so nice since he went back to work, and me and Poppy and my older two are in quite a nice little routine now.

Hi Mommy, sorry I see you :) How is little James? That week flew!

Hoping to check in later and see some new babies :D

Oh I can't remember who asked, think it was you Boo ( gorgeous picture of Arthur!) Poppy sleeps from 9.30/10 ish till 3, and then up at 5.30 everyday. I have been getting up with her then and sorting kids uniform/housework, but went back to bed today and slept till 8.40! I feel like a new woman! :)
 
Karli - You sound like superwoman! Juniper and I go back to bed for cuddles and sleepy nursing time every morning until 9ish! I am dreading Dave going back to work and getting Micah to nursery for 9am.. Gulp.
 
Thanks for the advice ladies. He is making an effort considering he is working full time and I am not. I think my slow c section recovery is really making things feel much worse for me and making me want more help. I do nightly feedings which makes sense since I don't have to be somewhere in the morning, but they are hard on me. My abdomen hurts the most after waking up because of being in the same laying down position for a while. This makes nightly feedings painful and probably seem much worse than they actually are :(

I'm always on the iPad so I try to remember what was said than write the reply. On a computer, I would just type it in note pad as I read then copy/paste. But I rarely use my computer these days!

Prayers to the ladies having inductions this week <3

Does anyone keep track of how many oz per day their baby drinks (I guess for bottle feeding mamas)? I read somewhere online they should be doing 2.5 times their weight. Hannah has been getting less than that but recently she has seemed much more hungry and has ramped up how many oz she takes in per day.
 
Mommy - I see you too! I hope you're doing well :hugs:


Squig - I'm glad to hear the expressing is getting easier :)

Teeny - :hugs: I hope baby makes an appearance soon :hugs:

Boo - I hope the birthday party goes well today :)


AFM - feeling demoralised, called delivery suite to get a rough guide and they said they're really busy, there's a chance I might not be getting induced today after all, my mum is down here, she can't stay too many days :nope:

Starlight - I used to keep track but I cannot for the life of me remember how much he used to have.
 
Oh Vanilla, that's rubbish. I'll keep my FX'd you get a call back soon to say they have a bed for you. I'm frustrated, but I'm guessing you feel worse, as today was meant to be the day. :-( xx
 
Thats rubbish vanilla, hope they call you in soon.
I was induced with dd1 and it really wasn't that bad. I was only given the pessary which was around lunch time and I had her by 9 that night, they had told me to expect it to take at least 24-48 hours. I would also say it was no more painful than any of my others, I'm not sure whether that was because it was just the pessary though.

Jalilma hope they find you a bed too soon.

Starlight, Arthur's only a week at the moment so I know he'll be probably drinking a different amount then Hannah but at the moment he's drinking roughly 3-4 ounces every 3-4 hours, it's been roughly equalling 24 ounces over a 24 hour period.

Boo- lovely photo of Arthur, hope the birthday party goes well.

Teeny- really hope baby makes an appearance soon, I remember being both a week and 8 days over with dd2 and 3 and how horrid it is.

Sorry if Ive missed anyone :)
 
Mum22 - I hope I have a similar experience with mine. I'm going to call them this evening if they don't call. I hate this waiting! I was told today so I assumed today, I wouldn't have made mum come over if it was going to be this uncertain :dohh:


Teeny - being overdue is horrible in it's own way :hugs:
 
Vanilla I was induced with my youngest and it wasn't so bad. For me the hardest part was staying in the hospital by myself which I find completely enraging and I basically sat and cried lol. It's frustrating cos it's one of these in some places u get induced and ure partner can stay and in other hospitals they say no and it peed me right off. I think I said before the induction was fine but I hated the staff on the ward so it ruined it all for me. But yeah the induction was easy put the pessary in around 1 (even tho they ask u to get there for 7 ughhh) and then I basically sat around on a ward all day and evening until my partner went home at night. Mild discomfort but I didn't even notice until I was 8cm this was around 7am went down to delivery called husband and had the baby within around half an hour of him arriving. My whole labour was recorded as being one hour 20 minutes. And it was very straightforward. We went home within 5 hours =)

I honestly think I would be happy to go back for another one if it hadn't of been for the staff on the ward. There was an entire ward shut for building work and u could just tell they were furious about being so busy etc etc and you could hear them bitching constantly. Which obviously carried over into their patient interaction. The atmosphere was toxic lol. So bad luck for me I guess. But it really put me off.
 
Good luck jalilma =)
Teeny you know you have my sympathies! :hugs:
Good luck with the party boo! Fingers crossed the weather holds.

Afm- same old. Tired from being up most of the night with Braxton Hicks that go nowhere and crotch/vaginal/cervix pain that is too painful to sleep through. Now the daily period type pains have started and I'm just gonna lay here and feel sorry for myself haha. It's getting silly now. How can this go on for so long ?! I don't even get a sweep for like two weeks! Ughhh. At least when I had my last two children I had no labour symptoms at all. Yeah I went two weeks over with both but at least I wasn't tormented every day and night with false pains. I am so glad this is my last pregnancy. I'm day dreaming about being about to walk to the end of the street and lay down on my stomach hahaha. Simple things. =)
 
Rhi, I don't think little lady will keep you waiting like the boys. Your pains sound so promising that one day you'll just be 10cm and not even know it! Lol xx
 
Vanilla, how frustrating!!

Mum22, wow Hannah actually eats less than Arthur. She eats about 18 oz per day right now. I haven't added up yesterday's feeding yet but that was how much she ate two days ago.

Rhi, ugh false labor sounds so annoying!!
 
I often miss posts too as the thread has been so fast moving recently.

Karli I'm the same, my DH doesn't do any jobs properly and messes up all the little systems I have in place so I'm kind of looking forward to being left to it on Monday.

Henry had a good stretch last night. He slept from 11:30pm to 10am with just 2 feeds inbetween.

Do some babies not need burping? I can never get any wind up from Henry at all but it doesn't bother him. If I PT him more firmly then he'll just be sick everywhere.
 
Rhi - that's terrible, I'm not surprised the experience has left a lasting impression on you, hopefully if you need one again it will be completely different :hugs: we're allowed to have partners stay but I'm not sure he'll be able to leave DS.


I just got the call to go in, eeeeek! wish me luck :argh:
