Knocked Up Naughties

[samzi]

she sure is!!

 

[flowertot]

well girls i've been to bed and had to get back out again. dd and dh are sleeping and i've got a really bad case of restless legs! wonder if this will be the start of pregnancy insomnia. i had it really bad last time but i could catch up in the daytime if i needed to but no chance now with a 2year old to look after.

wonder how Tori is getting on its so exciting!

 

[samzi]

Ive not even gone to bed yet, not tired at all. May have to go soon though!

 

[flowertot]

me too! think i'm going to drink a large glass of milk and try again.

 

[tori_cottier]

Still here

Me and DH decided that at 1am it was best to get some sleep as the pain was still ok and bearable,

My main fear in all of this is that this is a false alarm and blondie when you get to this point you'll be thinking the same.

So when i woke at 3am and had no sign of a contraction my heart sank but at 3.35 we have lift off again so lets see what the next few hours holds, I'm really hoping this is it.

i know it sounds stupid as i have done this with DD but that was 9 years ago and also i was induced so it ws forced as such and i never went through this before so fx this really is it

thanks for the support ladies this could take a while tho so i'll be on the

p.s can we not say anything on facebook as i want to keep it a secret until LO arrive's (if he arrives) thanks ladies

 

[topazicatzbet]

sounds like your doing well hun. think im up in sympathy for you. got horride heartburn again and really need a poo TMI my belly feels so bloated i might explode.

 

[Blondie]

Oooh Tori - hoping this is it for you Keep me posted!

No major signs here this morning - well had a couple of uncomfortable contractions during the night and think I had more bloody show this morning but nothing major. Had another really really painful contraction about half an hour ago but nothing since then so think if anything it may be the very very early start of things - definitely different type of pain this morning with my hips and lower back being really tender and painful. Meeting Oushka (from BnB) for coffee this afternoon if nothing progresses so will get to meet one of the November Sparklers at least this afternoon even if that is the only baby action I see today

 

[caitlenc]

Oh my, sounds like things might be moving for both of you!! Tori, can't wait for an update!

Mum2Be, so good to hear from you!

Samzi, I know what you mean about being bored while resting, I was never good at that either!

Beth, how are you feeling, hun?

Flower, the pregnancy insomnia is awful, although I find it amazing how our bodies start to prepare us for these sleepless nights that come after baby is born! I sometimes wonder if I'll ever have a full nights sleep again!

Well, since DH is home from work today, I am planning on taking advantage and going out to do some shopping and get a manicure. Our first anniversary is Sunday, so I have to shop for a gift for him...any ideas?

 

[topazicatzbet]

im ok thanks cait, bp is staying below the dreaded 90, that would mean i have to go back to the hospital. still having the odd mini migraine though.

my main issue has been the heartburn again, im def ready for this young man to move down a bit now.

i ve finished my christmas shopping today and im gonna put up the tree tonight. all 3ft of it. im going small this year s its easier to manage.

 

[pipkintyler]

Tori, sounds like your in labour to me, good luck with everything, hopefully it won't be too long now.

Blondie, sounds like you could be in labour too, my god the race is definately on between you too. good luck.

Mum2be, great to hear from you, we've all missed you loads, glad your cycle seems to be getting back to normal already, hopefully it won't take long for you to be pregnant again, it didn't take long for me after my mc.

Flower, Hope you get some sleep tonight, must be awful not being able to sleep.

Caitlen, Have a lovely anniversary.

Topaz, hope the heartburn goes away soon for you.

to everyone else.

Well I went for my hospital appointment today (with Russell as he wanted to hear what my consultant said about the labour) only to be told that it was cancelled and I should've got a letter to tell me that!!! I was really angry and felt myself welling up which is very unlike me as I'm usually very laid back, this pregnancy lark is turning me into a loon , anyway they've changed my appointment now and it's not till 18th December. Not a happy bunny, it's a good job my Crohns isn't playing up as this is the 2nd appointment they've changed. URRGGHHH.

Other than that I'm fine by the way.

 

[tori_cottier]

I'm still here ladies, No news of George yet and i'm becoming more and more disappointed,

The contractions where 3/5 min apart and very strong so called my mum at 6.15 as i'd been awake since 3am with them, then woke DH as the MW said before to take a hot bath if it becomes to much, I now know i should of called the unit and they would of said come in and broke my waters as i was contracting at the right time etc, But i didn't i went in the sodding bath and at this point My contraction started to slow down so i'm now at 7 min apart on my birthing ball have been at 7 min for the last 12 hours and just want to move of this bentch mark, I've just had a sleep to see if this helps wake my body up a bit lets see what happens but i could be here a while,

So i hav enow got a full house with DH,MIL,DD and my mum here all waiting no pressure then,

blondie how are you getting on hunny?

thanks you girls for your well wishes i'm going to see what you are up to now and read back

 

[Blondie]

No news from me - hardly any more contractions all day so sent DH off to his snooker presentation evening - he might aswell go out drinking as not going to be any baby here tonight

 

[topazicatzbet]

oh tori, hope things pick up again soon hun.

 

[Freyasmum]

How frustrating, Tori!
And talk about pressure - you sure have a house full!!

Hopefully things will start moving along soon. We all can't wait to meet George!
hun. Not too long now, I'm sure.

 

[tori_cottier]

Still here

But i've managed to get some more sleep lastnight but woke up and contractions are still there but the i've got the horrid through that i could have these all the way up to my induction date, and that would just be painful

I feel as though i have been on a marathon without the pleasure. So lets roll on day 2 of slow labour

pip: how bloody rude to send you a letter and then say it was a mistake grrrrr

blondie my DH is on drink ban poor soul think he could do with on at the moment he's walking on egg shells at the moment

Beth: mission BP for you missus total rest and relaxation!

Caitlenc: did you do the traditional "Big" shop the day after turkey day? (is this a true tradition or a mith?)

 

[topazicatzbet]

oh hun, are they still coming every 7 mins or so. have you rung delivery suite what have they said? you must be shattered.

 

[Blondie]

Still here aswell , no sign of anything happening....roll on next weekend and an induction.....

 

[caitlenc]

Hi girls!

Tori, you must be going nuts about now, how frustrating!! I did not do the big Friday shopping, too many crowds for me. It is definitely real, though, my best friend gets in line at the shops at three in the morning!!

Blondie, hope things start moving for you soon!

Beth, sounds like you are all set for Christmas, I'm jealous! You are so organized!

Well, had a terrible scare last night. Harper was very fussy, and I couldn't get her settled. She finally fell asleep on my belly whilst lying in bed...problem was, I also fell asleep, and I woke up at 3 a.m. to a big thud and her screaming...she had rolled out of bed and onto the floor face down!! I picked her up and she calmed right down, had a feed, and went right to sleep in her bassinet...I, on the other hand, have been up all night crying about what a terrible mother I am, and how I could have rolled over on her and crushed or suffocated her...she seems unscathed other than a tiny little scratch on her nose, but I am traumatized and quite convinced that I am the worst mom in the world...

 

[tori_cottier]

Caitlenc you are not a bad mum, if that is classed as a bad mother we all would be locked away.

you will never know when you LO will have a accident/trip or fall, I think its because she was on you that is making you feel this way but i don't think there is a mother on earth that hasn't fallen asleep with there LO (mine use to be during feeding in the middle of the night)

your a Brillant/Loving Mum and learning by the day, Your Harper is fine hun, A little tough cookie at that

 

[msmith]

Afternoon all.
I am keeping my fingers crossed for you Tori that the contractions move quickly into birth mode!
Sorry to hear nothing is happening your end Blondie. Have you tried all the old wives tales/strategies to get things going?

caitlenc-no way are you a bad mum. Every new parent has one of these traumatic experiences in the early days-ask any new mum or dad and they will definitely have a story to tell. Babies are pretty resilient, it is the parents that feel awful and guilty.

Not too much to tell this end. We are sorting the nursery out again this weekend so hopefully by Sun night we will be nearly there

Just a question about baby movement. I have really quiet days and then bump is a bit more active but I'm not getting really forceful kicks/punches which my friend is who is a few weeks ahead of me. The movements I feel are still pretty 'swimmy'-if that makes sense. I do get the occasional turn and foot/arm pushing out but nothing that feels really powerful. I am tall and bump is not big (measurements all good but just doesn't look big due to my height). I am probably worrying about nothing but just wanted your thoughts. I think I will mention it to the midwife next week. What movements were you all feeling at 29 weeks?
