xxxx

Thanks for all the nce comments about my pp picture it was more for interest that I posted it, I took some weekly ones for 2 months after last time and it helped me appriciate the improvement, when I didn't neccesarily notice it on a day to day basis I still want my waist back, but know that's not going to happen for a couple of months properly. I was sooo done being pregnant, to be honest I could have a massive belly still and be happy as long as I could get comfy in bed with it!
Just wanted to show you that even someone like me who is firmly plus size (was size 18 before pregnancy) can get some shape back pretty quick. Its the fine tuning that takes a while

Hi ladies......well arrived at hospital and was rigged up to monitor. There were happy ish with that but bp on 3 seperate measurements were 93, 94, 97 on bottom measurement....coupled with headaches i have been having...they want to start induction today. So now on.antenatal ward waiting for fiest step. Already had one sweep to check and now waiting for baseline measurement.

So i am here until baby comes....bit shocked....had a few tears and feel ok now

Mitch good luck honey I'm sure its all for the best, hopefully you were close anyway so inducton will be nice and smooth. I know a lot of people who have had a really postve experience with it exciting and scary that you'll be going home a mama! Thinking of you here! Xxx

 

[lozza1uk]

Mitch - good luck, will they keep you in now then or start induction and send you home? Hope you get to meet your little girl soon x

 

[firsttimer1]

Mitch - good luck hun 2-3 days sucks BUT at least your being looked after and that means so is baby etc xxx so you have to stay in hosp until baby comes or can u go home for those days? xxxx

 

[MsCrow]

Sending lots of positive vibes Mitch. It's a shock when you're faced with a different birth than the one you anticipated but it will be ok.

 

[mitchnorm]

I am in now until baby comes....they try pessary for 24 hours if nothing then gel x2 if needed and last resort IV.....so there you go. Hubby gone home to get some bits and bobs that i didnt throw in bag last minute.

Will be in touch soon....i hope very soon x

Emera - Are you getting Freyja feeding off your engorged breast? I'm trying to get Leah to feed off it but she won't & I've tried expressing for an hour each night but it doesn't seem to be helping

Morning!
Update: water broke when I got up this morning. I'm waiting for a call from the doctor to find out what to do... Only having mild contractions/cramping.
I'll update you all later.

 

[lozza1uk]

Good luck KKL!! X

 

[firsttimer1]

Good luck KK!!!!!

mitch -

Kas - contratulations on baby Ruby, what a cute name.

Emera - wow its amazing how fast our bodies change.

Loo - aww.. I'm sure if I was having any progress (labour wise), I'd be all weepy too. It's an exciting and emotional time for us.

Mitch - Good luck hun! Hope everything turns out well and being induced works quickly. Keep us updated if you can.

KKl - Yay for water breaking! Good luck hun, hope the contractions start up now.

AFM - Mitch reminded me about less movement. I haven't really felt my LO much since last night. I remember yesterday evening thinking he was very quiet and now this morning I haven't felt him either. I'm pretty sure I felt him move a little bit last night but not as much as normal. But this morning I haven't felt anything (only been up for an hour, hoping he is just sleeping.) How long would you guys wait to go get checked out?

 

[firsttimer1]

Joanna, i would always go on side of caution. Likelyhood your LO is just sleeping and chilling ... BUT... do the drink /lay down test (drink OJ, cola or coffee or eat something with sugar and then lay on your side) and if you dont feel anything in that hour call the ward hunni Best to get peace of mind.....? xxxx

hello lads,

hugs to mitch my newfruiting buddy. looks like your going to have your baby first! good luck with induction, i hope it goes smoothly. we look forward to hearing from you x

mscrow - hope you guys are feeling a bit better today.

no sign of my baby at all now. getting v. bored. i know it will happen in time but i have nothing to do and feel like i am just waiting around. getting fed up of the texts etc too. im eating far too much...

looks like i wont be having a st paddys day baby

hope all the girlies with their babies are having lovely baby cuddles (and that the breastfeeding is going well - all this talk of engorged breasts is making me nervous)

I love my hubby so much. But sometimes he annoys the crap out of me. Our baby's due date is tomorrow and I still don't have a nursery. The plastering in the closet isn't done yet! The trim needs to have the nail holes filled and painted, the carpets shampooed. The crib needs to be built. And what is he doing today? Putting crown molding in the hallway. Why the crap do we need crown molding in the F-ing hallway?! It takes them three days work to put crown in. Why can't we just get the project done? Our living room, the room everyone sees doesn't even have crown. How does that make sense? He's just lucky the baby hasn't decided to come early.
How am I supposed to nest if I live in a construction zone? (I feel for you Loo and was it Lozza with the ceiling?)

 

[firsttimer1]

Cupcake - no paddy day baby for me either no signs at all. But tbh i dont mind - as long as digs shows up before i have to be induced (as that wud mean no water birth for me). so theyve got a week today really!

i was thinking of eating some prunes as a natural birther just said its worked for her.... but all i think it will do is give me lose BM!

ive had to cut my RLT from 4 cups to 2 cups so that i dont run out of tea bags !!!

 

[firsttimer1]

kymied - MEN!!!!!! lol

wonder how loo is getting on x

 

[crowned]

Kymied, ugh... so sorry!

Mitch, take care of yourself lady - just a little while longer and you're going to be a mama!!!!!

FT, sorry you're not going to have your St. Paddy's day baby... but just a week until induction means you're not far off having your little one in your arms either!!

Joanna, I second what FT says - have something sweet to drink and lie on your back for a little while to see if baby moves at all. Sometimes my LO is quiet, but that trick always works to get him/her moving again.

AFM, I had contractions from 7 pm until 4 am last night, but they tapered off to nothing AGAIN. This false labour stuff is no joke. I really want it to be the real deal, at some point, and it's scaring me that I have to have a scratch n' sniff on Tuesday and be induced at only 41 weeks - that only gives baby 10 days to make an appearance. Come on, baby!!!
