March Mama's! 2012 :) - 33 pink , 24 blue and 17 yellow bumps! 33 Babies!!

[citymouse]

Yay, Lozza! Good luck!

 

[Glowstar]

Yay Kymie and Lozza more babies on the way for the weekend Good Luck ladies

@ City for having an unsymmetrical baby mine was the same last night...maybe when they are older they can meet up and become symmetrical

Well I woke up with the runs and have now been sick! Thought at first it might be me having a 'clear out' but think it's more likely the greasy burger that OH made me for tea last night

 

[Widger]

Wow... More baby news on the way

Crowned - finally your baby girl is here congratulations

Kymied/ Lozza - good luck girls. Looking forward to hearing more news

Glow - sorry feeling so ill this morning... hope it could be sign of something


Afm - dtd last night as thought might help sweep along... Hilarious as hubby kept forgetting about my bump anyway nothing happened over night. Baby active, ouch, but good news is I got a lovely sleep

What a glorious day today is too. Determined to get out in it

 

[Mrs Cupcake]

Good luck Lozza!

and kymied too, sounds like its your waters so not long until baby arrives now!

congrats Crowned on your pink bundle! definately the best excuse for being away, lol

congrats Joanna on your little boy. sounds like a fast labour! gorgeous photos

good luck FT at your morning app and sweep. Fingers crossed it does the job!!

mouse - poor hubby. still its only fair that his has to share some of the humilation. must be love!

afm, as you can see im still here and still hugely pregnant. i cant believe it but i actually have MORE stretch marks. this is getting seriously unfair.

jobs today: take dog to vet for vaccinations, go to bank, perhaps make some sort of cake that will keep well

on the cake front, it needs to last about a week. the only cakei can think of is fruit cake - any other suggestions??

 

[Mrs Cupcake]

lucky you on the nice weather widger. the forecast here was supposed to be good but its very foggy here at the moment...

Hope it perks up at some point. Can really help lift your mood. I've just noticed purple marks too must be stretch marks. Never got anything last time

 

[emera35]

Joanna congratulations!

Crowned congratulations

Lozza and Kymied good luck lads!

Glowie I hope you feel better very soon!

Cupcake how about a carrot cake? They stay moist for ages.
Oh and I think you officially have the laziest baby now!

 

[Mrs Cupcake]

carrot cake is a good idea. although i have made it quite a lot recently. I just googled a nigel slater recipe for a lemon loaf which has ground almonds in it which supposedly keeps well. my plan is to make a couple of cakes over the weekend to eat next week.

thanks for passing on the baton - my baby is offically the laziest the march baby!

i dont have inklings that baby is going to come anytime soon. maybe over the weekend before being induced?!

 

[lozza1uk]

Yep congrats MrsC on the dubious honour of having the laziest baby.

I'm definitely having proper contractions, rang triage and they don't want to see me til they're 3 minutes apart for at least half an hour... Could be a long day as they're currently around 5-10 mins apart. My contraction timer is a godsend, I'm either way under or way over estimating how long it's been so it's really useful! Also thank heavens for this site which I will be mostly using as a distraction today as I r sent DH off to work!

 

[Widger]

Lozza - hope not in for the long haul but at least you know something is happening

MrsC - when is your next appointment?

Ft - good luck for sweep and as for scratchy tummy.... oh yes!!

 

[lozza1uk]

Oh, and FT/glow - good luck for your sweeps today!

 

[emera35]

Cupcake mmm, anything with ground almonds, especially if its like a lemon drizzle that gets syrup poured through it after cooking will keep well too, good call!

Lozza if it gets too intense for you, even if the contractions don't get closer then take action! My friends contractions stayed at 7 mins apart right up to the pushing stage, so if you feel like you can't cope or you are making more progress than they say then put your foot down!

 

[firsttimer1]

JUST QUICKLY.....

crowned - HUGE CONGRATS ON BABY ALEXA Love the name too

Lozza / Kymied - HOPE THIS IS IT FOR YOU!!!

cupcake - I have stretchies ON my stretchies now...

MW just called and said to come in for 9:30am so we can spend longer going through everything.... so im off there now.... please think positive thoughts for me....

... if i come back and my cervix is still closed etc then i may need you all to pick me up of the floor. But for now....... POSITIVE THINKING!!!!!

SWEEP HERE I COME.... work ur magic MW!

 

[lozza1uk]

Huge positive thoughts FT !!!! Will await an update...

Thanks for the tip Emera. They're definitely breathable through, just! I might go for a quick walk, starving and think chocolate is in order. I've had a slice of toast do its not like chocolate is my breakfast

 

[Widger]

Lozza - as Emera says, I didn't have any regular pattern to my contractions but had to go to hospital as they were so painful, after being turned away first night. If you are able to talk through them etc you are prob ok. Get chocs down you

Ft - keeping everything crossed for your sweep. Although if things don't go to plan try not to feel to upset. My neighbour was told she wasn't favourable, yet 36 hours later waters broke and it all kicked off.
Glow - think yours is later? Good luck

I'm off out to the park now. Supposed to be 18 today

 

[Mrs Cupcake]

good luck FT - i hope the sweep is successful! and its great the midwife wants more time to go through everything with you. surely we cant both still have closed and unfavourable cervixs at this late stage!!

glad you agree on the ground almonds emera. im planning on making it tomorrow or sun, that way it will be available for visitors once the baby is born early next week (can you tell i have no plans for it to arrive this weekend!!)

 

[firsttimer1]

Im back.....mmmmm.

Im a lousey 1cm dilated. MW did manage to touch babys head but said it was literally just a finger tip she could get in. Still unfavorable. -2 station..... whatever the heck that means.

anyway - she said she would be VERRRYYYY suprised if my body went into labour naturaly.

so im booked in for induction to begin at Sunday 3pm (providing they are not busy and turn me away of course.... that wud be just my luck!!)

I ammmmm a little gutted but i think deep down i knew it would come to this. Also, they wont allow a water birth even if i go into labour after a gel alone.... sucks, but it is what it is

Got a nice booklet on induction to read now - and am going to re-read all our march mamas induction stories too.

glow - hope yours goes better than mine! xxx

Kymied and lozza - realllllllllllllly hope things are progressing nicely

 

[MsCrow]

Thinking of you today Lozza and Kymied!

FT, fingers crossed you are having the best sweep ever right now...if there is such a thing!

 

[lauraclili]

Thinking of you all today.

I'm sorry that your appointment wasn't as brilliant as you had hoped FT but at least Digs has waited for your parents.

Congrats on all the new babies!!! Good luck to everyone in labor!

I had an ultrasound yesterday. Baby girl is measuring to be about 6lbs 10oz right now, and doing well! I am 1 cm dialated and 20% effaced, so nothing much going on! My doctor said he would do a sweep next week if I want!
