[wondertwins]

Mitch and Loo- sorry you're stuck in the hospital, but happy that we should be having some babies today! Yay for KK too!

Loo, I was super jumpy when the nurses kept waking me up to be monitored at night. I just wish I'd thought to scream at them.

Skadi, yay for sleep! how big is Kiera now? It won't be long before she's put on enough Weight to make it longer stretches every night.

Edit to add: happy due date Kymied!

Good luck you induction buddies!

Just wanted to say a big Happy Mothers' Day to all the wonderful March Mamas!!! whether our babies are here yet or not we are all Mamas this mothers' day, so feel special, because you all are!!

 

[Glowstar]

loo & Mitch - thinking about you both especially when babies are being naughty. it kind of throws plans out the window. I will urge you to seriously consider an epidural if they are talking about IV Mitch, also it means you are already prepped if she's still not happy.

on my phone so not really read back. catch up in a bit.


happy mother's day!!!!

 

[lozza1uk]

Happy due date kym and Nic I think?!!

Loo/Mitch - hope things go well for you both today

Have woken up with a cold I think, rubbish!

 

[waula]

Mitch, KK and Loo especially today..HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!! Thinking of you both a lot today. And I completely second Glowie - the syntocinon drip means epidurals are your best friend...there is no need to worry about being a 4-5cm before getting one put in like with normal birth as there is no way it will slow down the drip contractions. I'm SO excited for your news and I know its annoying being in hospital and it being all medicalised probably wasn't what you planned but just know your LO's are on their way and you are so close to getting the cuddles you need!!!!

And to everyone else...HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!! We've been mothers since June last year so irrespective of having baby or bump to cuddle - be proud of being fab!!!

Loo - I love the fact you screamed at the midwife...

We had our first dog walk yesterday with Noah in the sling and then had our first trip out last night to the in laws and met his great grandma which was so lovely but absolutely exhausting!!! Wishing I had a few more red blood cells kicking around... Being a new mum and being borderline needing a blood transfusion is making things slightly trickier!!! Wondering if I dare catch up on OBEM from last week yet or if its a bit soon...!!!

Happy Sunday everyone

 

[Skadi]

WT - She is now 6 lbs and 11 ounces, which is the same weight as my sister when she was born. I think they start sleeping longer around 10 lbs? So we have a way to go still but I am sure once she reaches term she should start packing it on.

 

[loolindley]

Ha! It wasn't an angry scream, more like an "aaarrrggghh!!!! Who the hell are you" scream!!!

Well guess who just had her waters broken?!? About an hour ago it was frigging gross and went everywhere. Then the midwife told me to lift my bum and they all went up my back (which I'm sure is information you have all been DYING to know!!!!)

They are giving me a couple of hours to see if I start contracting by myself, but will start me on the drip if nothing. Quite scared of the drip....

For lunch today is chicken dinner...that is something nicer to think of!!! xx

Hey laddies

Sending all the positive thoughts to the induction twins (Mitch and Loo) and hoping that it all goes smoothly today.

Happy Mother's Day everyone! Thinking about you all and what tremendous support you've been. Thank you.

I'll be furtively pacing the floor for everyone on the edge of labour.

Or on the edge of sanity with building projects.

I got a card, cupcake and flowers today. The card made me laugh out loud, it says "Dear Mummy, I am your daughter Edith, happy mother's day. I have definitely been out and bought you this card, flowers and cakey. Most definitely it was me that done it. But I got daddy to write the card, I thought he might like to feel helpful I suppose, I'm nice like that you see. Love, Edith Talula, xx xx

 

[mitchnorm]

Snap loo.....well not quite there but she just checked me and said she can break waters. Just waiting for a space in delivery suite then they will move me through to have it done....soon i hope. Sounds fantastic. I am having regular tightenings so that may well kick me off. Otherwise its drip.....considering epidural now...thanks for heads up on.that ladies. I am in agony at mo with contractions 3-4 minutes...yesterdays over stimulation was horrible. Anyway just waiting now with my tens helping alot!!!!!

Good luck loo!!!!

 

[firsttimer1]

Mitch / loo - maybe your both be mummies by midnight?

crow - LOVE the card and gifts from edith

happy mothers day to all our march mamas

dead arms - someones mentioned this...cant remember who... ive had it for about a week... put it down to funny sleeping positions?!

nicnak - my uncle used the same joke on me ''sure its not wind?'' i told him that now i come to think of it, i DID eat a HUGGGGEEEEEE pie 9 months ago!!!

so i was up at 6am watching the F1 - not QUITE the result i wanted but good none the less.

off to MILs today for dinner so will check in tonight for baby updates.... love to all xxxx

 

[loolindley]

Good luck to you Mitch too! The race is on!!!

They just asked me if I'd thought about pain relief on the drip. I'd had in my mind I would have remi if anything, but wondering if I should listen to waula and glow and go straight for the epidural. Bah! Can't someone make the decisions for me?!?!?

Just stood up off my ball and created a river on the floor. Al never knew I could be this sexy

 

[lauraclili]

Astrid Lindsay Mary was born by emergency section at 5.17 this morning. I'm knackered after 12 hours on full dose synto and she is a little bit grunty, they think because she was without waters for so long.

She weighed 9lbs 13 and a half oz at birth and MW thinks that I couldn't have given birth to her anyway even if I had managed to labour beyond 1 cm.

Thanks everyone for what you have said.

Xxx

 

[lauraclili]

Happy mothers day to everyone!

Loo and Mitch, I laboured for 8 hours with the drip with no pain relief and then had gas and air for the last 4. It was ok but definitely a personal choice.

[MsCrow]

Laura, huge congratulations to you and the gorgeously named Astrid. I hope you both have a good few days of quiet recovery time after such a major experience. How are you feeling?

 

[lozza1uk]

Laura Congratulations!! Lovely name and great mothers day present!

 

[mitchnorm]

Still waiting to be transferred to delivery suite!!!!! Therefore waters no broken...they are really busy and i am second in line now grrrrrr
Congratulations Laura...beautiful name.
Loo i am going to see what the iv pain is like but pretty sure i may go epidural

[Joannaxoxo]

Just stopping by to see if there was any new baby news... Congratulations Laura!! Sorry Mitch and Loo that there wasn't much progress, hopefully things go quickly and to plan today for you. I wonder how KKl is doing?

Happy Mother's Day to those of you in England. Our mother's day isn't until May.

Got beautiful weather here today... 21 degrees ! I'm sure it's just teasing us and we'll have snow next week (we had snow last weekend, so this weather is just crazy!). Anyways, I will enjoy it while it lasts

No new baby news for me. Had lots of cramping yesterday and I lost a little bit of my plug, but thats about it. Baby is a lot more active today, so I guess he was just having an off couple of days, phew. I will make sure to mention the lack of movement to my doctor when I see him again on tuesday.

Good luck to all of you in labour and hope the rest of us go soon too!

 

[Skadi]

Congrats Laura!

 

[crowned]

Congratulations Laura!! You must be so excited about your little girl

Happy Mothers' Day to you ladies in the UK!!!

So much fun seeing all the new baby news every day!

Good luck to Loo and Mitch - thinking of you both, and hope it all goes well for you!!

 

[citymouse]

Laura, congratulations! I love the name Astrid! It would be on my list except it doesn't go with my last name at all.

MsC, what an adorable card!

Mitch and Loo, woohoo! You're on your ways... Keep thinking of chicken dinner!

Mitch, remember, the pain relief is up to you, and no matter what you choose you are doing the right thing for you.

FT, it was me with the dead arms.

AFM, the dog definitely has caught on that there's something up with my belly. He wants to sleep ON it! I woke up last night and he was balanced on my hip with his upper body on the bump.

I'm hungry. Want McDs.

Happy Mother's Day, UK lads!
