loo are you BF? or FF? either way agree she should have poo'd. have you tried giving her some cooled boiled water? I would phone now absolutely no harm done. it's not your fault! you don't control her bowels!!!
 
Nic - hope good sign

Kymied - men :dohh: that is all I need to say. Hope me appointment goes well.

Loo - There is no fuzzy line here.... you are a first time mum so never feel a failure because you don't know what to expect. Give them a call if worried. My mw would come to the house every day if I asked her to... I didn't because like you I was worried yet when she came to help I felt soooo much better and more in control.

Mitch - enjoy the cuddles xx are you swaddling? Some babies love to feel wrapped. Oh and tip from my friends maternity nurse, put dads shirt inside the Moses basket as helps settle them (nothing from you as will just smell milk) plus warm up basket with hot water bottle first. Not for long, just to take edge off. It worked for my friend. More importantly, enjoy snuggles during day I say

So I had strong movements last night. Baby was moving for about 2 hours, jostling into position. But I don't look as if bump dropped or anything.... mw tomorrow... Will have to see what she says about position.

Off to playgroup this morning. Feel exhausted :(
 
loo - we forgive you for not commenting on everything! you are busy with your little baby. I also would call if your worried...

good luck Nik - hope things progress more for you

kymied - hubby needs to get into gear!

mouse - i agree, women are just made of stronger stuff!

as you can see, i am still posting here and therefore have NOT yet had the baby. hubby gave the baby a talking to this morning - was quite funny. He was talking to the bump saying how great it would be if baby was born today so he could get out of a business meeting etc.

no signs....

fun tasks today: do ironing, actually make mitch's cookies (i am lazy), hoover and plant hanging baskets.

and - going out for posh afternoon tea with my mum this afternoon!!!! yay
 
For helping babies with pooing, and low down wind, try gently rubbing their tummies. You rub in little circle motions and move in a backwards "C" shape, starting above their belly button and moving round to finish by their right leg (your left as you look at them). That is a baby massagge technique that is specifically for colicky babies, but it also helps with constipation or trapped wind. Xxx
 
Cupcake - enjoy your afternoon tea!:cake: I'm about to go for coffee with my friend and toddler, not quite so posh but nice to get out and forget my afternoon S&S!

Kym - did the scissor trick work?:rofl:

Mitch - hope you had a good first night, I imagine you just sat and stared at a sleeping Mia, at least that's what I think i'll end up doing, too scared to sleep! Love the picture of DH and her sleeping on FB!:hugs:

Nic - hope things progress for you today :hugs:

I can breathe through my nose again this morning!:happydance: Not 100% over this cold but at least I only got up once last night and wasn't waking every hour to blow my nose... result!
 
Loo...mia doesnt have problems in.the pooibg dept for sure....i would call mw...never be cobcerned about that. I am calling her today about all sorts of other biys and bibs. I havent been great at noting down feed times, poos, wees, sleeps etc to.share with :-( oopsie...just trying to.get through the days.

My issue with mia....though not during night or this morning...but yesterday was a gagging reflex she is doing after feeds...she vomited a but yesterday so quite scary that thats normal? Arches her back.and looks gasy but doesnt burp :-/

All you ladies waiting....big hugs...it will be soon for you all and sooo exviting for you guys cos whatever happens during the birth....follow plan or (more often not) it will still be an.amazing experience that you will envelope as part of your love for LO.....oh dear sooooo hormonal over here ha ha. Anyone else not imagine OH going backwork....scary!!!!!!! :cry:
 
Mitch, spitting up and arching backs is pretty normal. It probably is a bit of wind or overfeeding (they can be greedy!) And they do tend to gag and then be a bit sick after most feeds, especially early on. Make sure you wind well I find it helps loads (she says as he baby is next to her in her basket dribbling sick :dohh:) also, f Mia has just fed and starts rooting a bit when you think she should be full, wind her a bit again before giving her more. She mght still be hungry, but also the trapped wind can confuse them and give them signals they are hungry, when actually they are quite full and its gas!

I'd always recommend anyone with a worry should call the MW for reassurance! I'm sure they've heard it all before from new mums, and much more weird and wonderful questions too! :hugs:
 
Called triage, very reassured. Sigh. Sorry for drama queen moment. Can't txt properly as Dharma is feeding. Sigh. Off to buy some tiny baby sized gros this morning. Yea. Trip out (to tescos)
 
MORNING!

So ive finally resorted the the 'haveyouhadthatbabyyet' link on FB. My dumb ass cousin (no seriously, im not being rude, you have no idea) just said ''had that baby yet''? Oh yes.... yes i did... how could i forget... sorry everybody.... im pleased to announce... :grr:

No signs, no ''twinges'' (thats fast becoming the WORST word in the English language) and nothing new for me today.

Last night i had a couple of real sharp pains again really low down - so im expecting to be at least 3/5 engaged when see MW on friday :shrug: Would be nice if that means im slightly dilated too so can have a s+s :(

speaking of which.... lozza.... good luck at s+s today! Please update us asap; reallllllly hope your nicely dilated and eggfaced etc and that it kicks it off for you asap :dance:

nik - ahhh so exciting :winkwink: keep us informed whenever possible and best of luck if this is the start :hugs:

widger - my bump doesnt look dropped at all. Maybe this baby is a huge pie that i ate 9months ago afterall :shrug: Thanks for the tip about dads shirt in crib... what a great idea!

loo / mitch - :hugs: and yup, idea of hubby going back to work is SCARY stuff :wacko:

sure there was other stuff.

Gah. im sittiing here wearing DHs trackie bottoms and a tshirt that says ''bun in the oven''. Well. State the obvious.
 
ft - im 2/5 engaged but wasnt dilated enough at either of my appointments for mw to do sweep. hope thats not the case for you though!

there are only 2 of us left in my nct group now and the other girl had a sweep on monday. think im going to be last!
 
Cupcake - when was ur last appt? do you have another s+s booked before you book an induction?

i was 2/5 and not dilated at the s+s she attempted to do at 40+2.... so hoping this last week has made the difference! Ive defo had sharp pains in cervix but i guess that could be anything.
 
my last appointment was monday morning. I don't have another app until induction. I just have to telephone hospital at 8am on monday to check they have space and then i go in.

sadly im limited to ward visiting hours so hubby won't be able to stay with me. They start with the pessary at my hospital and try to break the waters. If that doesnt work they go with the drip. If that fails they said baby will be delivered by cesearean on tues or weds.

im really hoping it doesnt get to that!

no 'twinges' here either. dont you just hate the phrase 'twinge'. pah!
 
''to check they have space'' ? OMG induction sounds more of a nightmare than i thought. I thought we would be booked in and thats that - how naive of me.

well i hope for you -and me- that it doesnt come to induction, and that it all kicks off naturally for us both asap xxx

Im reallllllllllllly hoping my waters break naturally as i totally thought they did for all pregnant women before finding out it rarely happens.... i want to experience the shock LOL! IDEALLLLLYYYYY in tesco or a shop where they will then give you free nappies and your shop for free :rofl: :rofl:
 
apparently if they are really busy then they put off ladies to be induced for another day. obviously they can only do it once and my mw said not to worry that it very rarely happens!

i agree on the waters breaking thing... not sure i want to be out and about though?? i like free stuff but i think i would be too embarrassed! i hope they dont break at the posh hotel this afternoon!!

Click to expand...

Oh yes, ive heard about that :winkwink:

Try & spend these last days in jewellery shops, designer clothes shops, heck....what about car showrooms!!! :rofl:
 
kelly thats a hilarious idea.... maybe if my waters break at the posh hotel this afternoon they will offer me a free holiday? or at least free afternoon tea??!

exciting news! midwife just called, she has been thinking about me and wants to try another sweep this afternoon! im seeing her at 2.30 so fingers crossed it works this time!!!
 
I definitely want mine to go while I'm out - mainly so I can avoid having to clear it up myself! I need to walk to Sainsburys for some lunch now anyway. Either that or they go Friday morning as the cleaners are due (can you imagine the note i'd have to leave... please do the kitchen surfaces this week, oh and mop up my waters...thanks):rofl:

Having said that... i'm sure I lost a bit of plug this morning:shrug: there was definitely some green/brown slimey stuff but i've been to the toilet at least 3 times since and nothing:shrug:

Sweep is at 2.45 :wacko:- last appointment slot of the day which means they'll be running late but hopefully will be back on by 4 to update you!

Ooh, and cupcake - good luck for your sweep!
 
Lozza deffo mention the green/brown because that sounds more like meconium than a show?? Unless it was just brown then it could be old blood.

Kelly - love your idea of being in a jewellery store when waters break :haha:

Cupcake - good luck with your sweep :thumbup:
 
aww cupcake thats brilliant - what a great MW! :) Update us.... i reallllyyyyyyyy hope the s+s works for both you and lozza today :dance:

lozza, losing some plug MUST be good :dance: Oh, yer do as glow says and mention it.... but sure its fine :)

Got a chocolate cake in the oven.... DHs request..... obv victoria spone and 24 cookies arent enough for him :rofl: and apparently he also demands a hot chocolate sauce to pour over it.... thought it was me who was meant to have the cravings???!!! LOL
