Nic - sorry today has been tough for you, can't imagine how difficult it must be being reminded about your mum not being here xx

Ft/ lozza - I had NO symptoms the night I went into labour with Daniel, it can just happen just like that. You just think you'd know it was going to happen but I seriously didn't. Convinced I would need to be induced

Waula - that is one thing I will change this time... I won't feel obliged to stay.awake for visitors. I felt so thoroughly exhausted as didn't get opportunity to sleep when people came over to visit. This time I'm just going to go to bed for nap if I need to. To be honest, most people are there to see the baby, not you so say hello, then snooze if you want to xx

 

[Widger]

Glow - sorry no card from girls but how sweet getting one from your boy waiting to arrive xx

Emera - have the hot cross bun. You are bfing and need it I remember the hunger bfing

Can I just ask all the mummas have you ladies started to try for a routine with baby? Or will you wait a big longer? Ive just been demand feeding and bathing and all that when I can.. Then it suddenly came over me that maybe I'm supposed to be trying to have a routine!! Then I suddenly realized I'm totally clueless lol! I need to get my book out and have a read I think!

Good luck to those in labour and congrats to the newest mummas!

Thinking of those still waiting for something to happen!

 

[emera35]

Wouldluv - No routne here, except to fit round what we do already xx

 

[Widger]

I did not have routine for a while wouldluv. Bedtime routine was introduced around 6 weeks old as suddenly thought how nice it would be for hubby and I to have dinner together etc without baby in our arms etc. But no routine during the day. I just went with the flow which made me and him happy. I went out for lunch with friends and he would feed then sleep in pram. I don't think he went for lunchtime snooze in his cot until he was about 5 months. That worked well for us but every baby different. Don't put pressure on yourself. Just enjoy.cuddles with Braxton and have fun xx

 

[wouldluvabub]

Phew glad I'm not the only one! Just never even occurred to me to start one till someone asked about it!! I figure his too little to understand anyway!

 

[KellyC75]

AFM - spent most of today in tears Think it's a combination of being disappointed at all these labour aches and pains and no progression; my due date coming (and nearly going) without any baby and also it being Mothering Sunday as I'm missing my mum more than anything this year and could really do with her reassuring mum-ness.

I can sympathise ~ I lost my Dad 7 months ago

 

[Glowstar]

C'mon Loo and Mitch..........PUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH for that Mothers Day baby

It's gone quiet from both of them so they both must be labouring away

 

[citymouse]

That, or Loo got ino a fistfight over the chicken dinner and has been hauled off to jail.

So sorry to the lads missing their parents.

 

[kymied]

as for me no loss of plug, no contractions etc..... feel heavier down below but bump looks same (??!!), weeing has become hard (feels like something is blocking it??) Very boring and non committed LOL

This sounds a lot like me. Maybe a third of the time I pee it's like something moves and blocks the flow. I've had two days (not in the same week) when I've wiped and gotten some jelly like stuff but nothing big.
I'm getting a lot more low down movements. I don't know if it's hiccups or his hands. In all the ultrasounds his hands have been in his face. Maybe with his head in my pelvis he can't get his hands in his face and wants to? Well if he's not here (or at least attempting to be) I'll have another ultrasound on Tuesday.

wouldluv, we're sticking to demand feeding but will introduce regular bath and bed rituals. there's good reason to avoid introducing a rigid feeding regime - www.guardian.co.uk/society/2012/mar/17/babies-fed-demand-better-school. mum and I were discussing this and she felt as an ex teacher it wasn't hokum plus children are learning to know when they're naturally full.

 

[emera35]

Freyja seriously needs to learn when she's full! We are both currently covered in milk and she's hiccuping away! She just eats and eats until she fills up to the top and comes away with milk pouring out of her mouth and nose. Then after being winded demands more but sucks and let's I run out of her mouth so my lap gets soaked! Such a little piggy!

 

[MsCrow]

Heh, it makes me laugh when Edith pulls away with a dribble of milk coming from the corner of her mouth, we call it the action of a milkaholic.

Baby girl Normington arrived safely this morning at 4:40am. 6lb 4oz. After 4 hours established labour...went much quicker than they though. I am fine...she is perfect. Update you all later x x

 

[Widger]

Oh wow Mitch congratulations xx
And you were worried about having a 10lber

Hope you manage to get some rest and can't wait to see pics xx

 

[loolindley]

Congratulations to Laura and Mitch!!! So proud of you lads. xxxx

Baby girl Humphreys was born at 00.28 this morning weighing in at a tiny 6lbs15oz (I KNOW!!!!) I am in complete awe of her.

Tough time for me. Took 2 hours to deliver placenta and had to go into theatre in the end but all is well.

She is the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on

 

[wouldluvabub]

Congratulations Mitch and loo!!! And omg you both had tiny babies!!! in sure there both amazing!!!!!

 

[lozza1uk]

Congratulations to both of you, and just goes to show growth predictions are a load of rubbish!! Looking forward to seeing pictures and names! Really pleased for both of you xx

 

[Glowstar]

OMG what WONDERFUL news to wake up to

Mitch - CONGRATS soooo pleased for you hope you are doing OK.....take it name still undecided and she was quite tiny my first was 6lb 5oz and was like a little doll Hope you are recovering well

Loo - CONGRATS wow you so nearly pushed her out for Mothers Day!! I predicted girl for you but not the size! just shows you how majorly wrong they can be!! Still a good size though. Sorry you had a tough time after...so they know the reason behind why it took so long to deliver? anyway....none of it matters when you've got that baby in your arms....it's an immense feeling
