Congratulations lynnikins! And well done to daddy! X

My boba stretchy wrap came today and I've followed the instructions for newborn on it.. Henry seems to really like it but I'm concerned that his legs are bent in it? But there's no way his legs could be stretched out in it. Is that how newborns are supposed to be carried in them?
 
Congratulations Lynnikins. Glad to see you got your homebirth. Xx

I'm no help with slings I'm afraid Tinkerbelle. I'll wait for all of you ladies to try them out though and I might invest one. Xx

Rhi, how are you feeling now? It really is only me and you left. Xx

Eeek! and you will be gone by the weekend :( Wish i had placed money on it, I jokingly said this would happen months ago. but like i said the other day i knew i would be last but i didn't think i would be the last with potentially two weeks by myself. It's hard not having anything to contribute to the baby talk and obviously it makes sense that everyone wants to talk about their babies but i'm just like stuck for anything helpful to contribute and at the same time worried i'm boring everyone to death with my moaning about being pregnant :nope:

I'm feeling "okay" achy all over and tired from the braxton hicks from last night :( still have so much pressure in my areas (both of them :haha: ) but nothing at all that is different or new or not something that can be just written off as a late stage pregnancy issue i guess :( When i have gone overdue in the past i had no problems like this at all. Even when i was walking about for a week dilated to 4cm. So god knows what this is about :growlmad:

How about you ? Anything going on or have you resolved yourself to induction? :hugs:

Yeah their legs are supposed to be tucked up under their bums like a frog when newborn and then later in a M shape with the knees higher than the bum its a normal position and one that babies often adopt naturally when curlled up on a parents chest
 
wow congrats lynnikins! Brave hubby! mine would pass out i think haha
 
Nothing going at all here. I've got my final sweep this afternoon. If that doesn't work, induction it is. :-(
I can't believe that so many ladies went early or very little overdue. It's an unusual occurrence.
 
lol i was 42 wks on my dates only two days less by the hospital
 
Congratulations Lynnikins! Glad you got the birth you wanted.

Aw thinking of you two still waiting Teeny & Rhi. Hoping it's not much longer for either of you & no-one is fed up with you Rhi!

Tinkerbelle, what Lynnikins said. I have a Hana baby wrap & it's the same, legs in M shape with bum lower than the knees. Make sure he's high up on your chest (close enough to kiss) & obviously watch for his wee head being turned to the side so he can breathe. Babywearing is lovely & I haven't gotten to do it nearly often enough yet!

Dory, thanks for that info, will look those things up. Teasing her lip does nothing - she just gives up & falls asleep!
 
lynnikins - huge congrats! I'm happy to hear you had a positive experience.


Angel - I'm really sorry you're having feeding problems this time around too :hugs: I hope the next weigh in goes well, it does sound like she is thriving though, hopefully it'll be something you won't have to worry about soon.

Starlight - I hope she goes soon :hugs:

Teeny - Good luck for later! I hope the sweep gets things moving! :dust:

Lavo - I hope things have gone well, can't wait to see your update! :happydance:

Rhi - I really hope it eases up for you soon, bh are horrible and yours sound pretty intense :hugs:


AFM - lack of sleep is catching up with me, I forgot how little newborns sleep :sleep:
 
Huge congratulations lynikins
Angel sorry about the weight gain - are you eating lots of food to boost your supply? Maybe try some fattier food for a bit? I swear by oat and raisin cookies for helping my supply.
Rhi and teeny - I hope you both go soon - thinking of you.
I have a caboo carrier which I'm still getting to grips with but Casey seems happy in it.
 
it is true that so few of us have had the birth expetience we hoped for. I think when it goes wrong you can feel its just you so this group has been great in supporting each other.

with regards to diet and bf ive been worried as up until now ive had no appetite abd have been eating very little. it hasnt affected my supply but will it mean leo isnt getting nutrients.
 
This maybe sound really daft... but what should my stomach/ bump feel like?
Yesterday when the midwife measured me she said "ohh really hard! hopefully not much longer to go" I didn't think much on it tbh. now though it's rock hard all the time, like you know how it goes at the heigh of a contraction or a really intense braxton hick ? But i don't even need to have the braxton hick, it's just like this all the time. It's making moving around very difficult and i have had to move my seat back so i can fit it behind my steering wheel (first world problems right haha) I said to my husband early that it is making it difficult to feel the baby, i can feel her but i really have to concentrate. so yeah it's like constantly being at the height of a contraction but without the pain... really not the best description. eek.
 
I had such a positive experience this time round but in a way it's highlighted to me just how awful my first birth was and made me realise how horrendous the hospital and staff were and how having a baby didn't need to be so bad which has made me angry as well! I definitely agree that groups like this are good for support etc :)
 
Sorry ive not been around much. Poppys had awful tummy ache the past few days, she is pooping etc fine, but i noticed she wanted feeding alot, and then just crying while she was trying to eat. Team this with constant hiccups and generally not sleeping in the day, i guessed i was dealing with reflux again.

Doctos put her some gaviscon out today. Shes had two bottles with it so far, hoping shes more settled tomorrow. Will catch up with you all tonight xx
 
I'm at the hospital for a trace as baby had heart decels when I had my check up. :-(
I'll keep you updated. Xx
 
I met a friend today and we were talking about the babies smiling (hers is also 8 weeks). About 10 minutes later Georgia gave me a huge beaming grin. My friend and I were both in tears lol (hormones)! She's a bit happier today but still has a slight fever. It's much better than last night though.
 
:hugs: teeny. Georgia had decels and it was just due to dehydration. They put me on a drip and it settled down. Fingers crossed it's nothing to worry about - let us know how you get on :hugs:

Dory that's so adorable! I'm so glad Georgia gave you a lovely big smile :cloud9:

I'm sorry to hear your Georgia isn't feeling good:-( glad she's feeling better though - I'm not looking forward to these injections!. G was up all night and has cried all day :-(
