Forums New posts
Hi everyone! My baby was born yesterday afternoon, we had an awful delivery and baby got stuck and stopped breathing, she needed resuscitating and is in the NICU. She is such a strong baby and fought her breathing tubes a few hours after birth and can now breathe alone. As for me I feel like someone's beaten me up lol I have a 3rd degree tear due to her getting stuck and how they had to get her out of me so fast but thank god my little one is doing well, we won't be able to take her home for a few days at least.
Her name is Muneera, it means shining in Arabic, born 16/6 at 12.30 weighing 4.1kgs. I will write a proper birth story when I have a bit of energy!
 
Hi Ladies, been missing in action, last i reported that the show came on the 6th June which was 4 days past my due date. 12 hours later on the 7th June 2013, our baby boy Nathaniel was born:)...big boy at 3.88 Kg's......wow, I cant believe how much I love him!

He is doing amazing, we struggling with gas but hoping we can have that in check..hubby is on paternity leave so thats helping lots:)

All the best to the waiting moms!

I've been getting some pains in my back and bump. Not timed them yet but they are enough to stop me from what i'm doing.

Hoping this is something starting! Midwife will be here in 3 hrs or so so i'll find out if anything has progressed since thurs.

Congrats jade and Kendi. Jade that must have been a frightening experience but I'm so pleased she's doing well in nicu. Hope you get to bring her home soon.
 
Congrats to Jade and Kendi!

Getting my third sweep this morning. I hope this one will get me into labor, I'm really fed up.
 
Congrats ladies! Welcome all the new babies!

Danielle, sending labour vibes! I hope the sweep works x

Mummumum hope it's the start for you!
 
Jade / kendo glad all is OK and congratulations.

Mumumumum Danielle good luck on your sweeps got mine in couple of hours and been getting tightening all morning so hoping things have progressed. Mummum your back aches sound very promising
 
Jellycat & MumMumMum - hope sweeps works for you both!!

MumMumMum - back ache? argh!! Those are so annoying! I had them for almost a week now and the very few contractions I had, I only feel them in the back and hips. How is baby's position? My doctor told me he is sunny side up, which explains the back pain : (

Congrats! Hope he settles soon.


Some good news for me. Now 3cm. MW said she'd done a 'real good strech and sweep" & great progress since last week. Baby now 2/5 engaged and she thinks better than 50/50 chance of labour in next 48 hours. I hope so!

Hospital are going to call with an induction date as a back up.
 
How did the other sweeps go?

I'm now getting what I think are contractions every 7 mins. Going to start timing on my app to see how long they last. Been having them randomly all day but this is starting to be a pattern and quite high on my pain threshold!

I only got my sweep three hours ago and so far no difference. My hips are quite in pain, I feel like they are about to give up on me :dohh: No contractions at all, but lower back pain is still there.
I'm almost at 4cm, doctor thinks I just need my water to break and it will be quite fast.

Lucky MumMumMum that you are getting induction book. Doctor made a request for mine on Friday but they call you on the same day to let you know when you get your induction done!! :growlmad: I hate last minute thing, I need to be mentally prepared! lol Plus if they are too busy with inductions and labor, they will only pick a few induction to be done and the rest gets it done the next day :dohh: argh so frustrating!! I hope I'm the only request for Friday :blush:
 
Danielle - hospital didn't actually call me with a date yet. Hope you get yours for friday.

Have rung l&d in 2.5hrs they've gone from every 7 mins to every 3-4. They told me to give it an hour, have a warm bath and paracetamol and see if they stop/get closer together. That was 30 mins ago and they've gone from 4-6 mins to 3-4 in that time.

Following their request but as we are 30 mins away from the hospital dh has taken dd1 to my mum's for the night in case we have to move her from bed soonish.

Hpe this is it!

By the sound of it you won't need to wait for that phone call. I would definitely go if I were you.
 
Mummummum that sounds excellent, good luck.

After my sweep I was contracting every 2-4 minutes took paracetamol and shower and they have slowed down to 4-6 minutes but bouncing on my ball to keep them coming. Haven't phoned l&d yet as I've had so many false starts haven't put my tens machine on yet either until then I'm going to postpone ringing. Our hospital is 40 minutes away.

Danielle are you doing anything to try and bring on the contractions after your sweep, walking (marching), bouncing, sex etc?
 
Ooh this is exciting, I predict some birth announcements by the time I get up tomorrow morning! Good luck ladies x

Yes! After each sweep I went for a walk. I've also went bouncing twice this morning too. But no contractions. I just had a nice bath and nap but nothing. :cry:
