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

[emera35]

City - Induction started sounding very attractive to me by the end too!

Oh and i think OH does get it, he's just a bloke and sometimes he has to throw all his toys out the pram. He'll get back to being useful again before long i'm sure. Just bad timing, i ignore it normally

 

[emera35]

FT - You can be less favourable for induction, and i think they can fail, but thats less than likely with how far along you'll be by sunday! Also ace timing, getting all the sport in first, perfect!

 

[firsttimer1]

they can fail oh no... do you just get sent home until baby decides to come out if it fails?? sorry - i dont have a clue.

 

[Widger]

Good for you looking at the positives FT... F1 and footy, then baby

I had no bleeding with my sweep either, in fact, nothing has happened at all.

Emera - One word.... MEN!! They just don't get it sometimes

City - If someone said, would you like to be induced, as days go by it seems a more attractive prospect


Ok, so DTD tonight... have to

Good luck Lozza and Glow, although got a feeling Glow will be before you Lozza (sorry....!)

 

[waula]

Go glowie GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I love the fact it could be waters or pissy pants!!!

Lozza - hope things are cracking off for you hun!!! excited much!!!!?

all the new mummies - massive congratulations...so excited for you all...it really is immense and i can't wait for the pics!!!

ft - sorry for your slightly disappointing scratch and sniff but glad you've got a date at least. project evict digs now moved on to the next stage!!! and don't worry about induction - just get digs out safely and thats all the matters... hospital bags...i packed way too much...a bikini top?! hmmm...not much chance of wearing that with my birth!!!!!

mitch - hope mia settling in well - sounds like your night-time's are going well hun!!! we're at 2-2 1/2 hr intervals and 20min feeds at night but last night had hourly feeds from 11-4 and my boobs this morning are enormous!!! seems they're very good at stimulating more feed!!!!

cupcake - you still hanging in there?? sorry about the stretch marks...i thought i'd escaped but then now i've deflated and i can see more of my belly i realise i'm covered in them too - don't mind but they bloody hurt!! getting more pain from them than i am with the bloody c-sec scar!!!

had lovely time over at my parents but really knackered - visiting people is really tiring and so i'm enjoying my friday night in on the sofa with BnB...i'm sat here with noah shoved down my nighty having some snoozy skin to skin time... immense!!! makes him sleep so deeply and i get very chilled out...and very leaky!!

right well...might have to go and catch up on the other thread...

 

[waula]

OMG mitch - just seen a picture of Mia on FB - check out the hair!!!! soooo gorgeous!!!! xxx

 

[emera35]

FT if you have 2 failed inductions and you go past +14 i think they would offer you a c-section, or if not daily monitoring and lots of s+s until digs came out. Its not common for them to fail at +12 though More the 39 week jobbies that tend not to work

 

[firsttimer1]

thanks emera, i was just thinking though - if the gels didnt work... wouldnt they just burst my waters? that wud get it going...right?

PANIC.COM

 

[citymouse]

Don't worry about the induction, FT, once Digs knows Mummy has had her sports for the week s/he'll be more than happy to come out.

My jaw is driving me crazy! I looked around online and saw that the relaxin can make your jaw hurt at this stage. Not cool, baby... how am I supposed to snack constantly on cheese?

 

[lozza1uk]

Still pretty erratic, just rang triage in the hope they'd let me come in and at least be checked but was told it could be like this for days (gee thanks) so I can't go in until regularly 4 mins apart. ( which is better than the 3 mins they said this morning!) I asked how the hell I'm meant to get any sleep - just try to was her response! Or get in z bath with the water right up over my bump.
I did query if it's normal for the baby to be so active now and she said yes. Hard sometimes to tell what's a contraction vs what's a huge handstand from the baby!
So basically I'm tired having done this since 6 am and hoping waters go so I can go in, or things speed up . I can't see how I'll sleep as the only way I can get through a contraction is on all 4s so every time one comes I roll off the sofa onto the floor then have to clamber back on after!
Sorry for mini essay, need to stop moaning and get on with it really !

So Glow - wee or waters?!

Waula - glad Noah is feeding so well!

 

[firsttimer1]

MMMMMMMMMMMmmm cheese...

 

[lozza1uk]

Ft - of the gels don't work don't they start you on the drip? Thought that's what loo had?

 

[firsttimer1]

Lozza your getting there hunni

and yes... wheree is glow with our update

 

[firsttimer1]

Ft - of the gels don't work don't they start you on the drip? Thought that's what loo had?

but does the drip always work? xx sorry if im being dumb.

 

[emera35]

FT the drip would definitely make you contract, but not necessarily dilate Don't worry about it though!!!!! You'll be fine and dandy!

Lozza How frustrating! Try to rest/doze if you can hun. Obviously sleeping will be a bit of a challenge, but conserve energy for sure! Also have you eaten? Try to eat as well if you can

 

[Glowstar]

well I think I win the award for pissy pants mama although to be sure they are not sure!!

got here and I'm 3cm and contracting every 2 mins. they are manageable at moment. only thing is when gave me internal baby has hand on top of his head and they can't risk me going Home in case waters break and his hand drops down. had a good trace but being kept on labour Ward till 2.00am and they will reassess me.
then either stay here or up to ante natal Ward and reassess in morning. looks like not coming home without baby!!

not allowed anything to eat. wish I'd had my tea before I left!! only allowed water.

 

[emera35]

Glowie, no food? Oh thats so mean of them!

Hope everything goes smoothly for you in there! Sounds like your little chappy was paying attention when you said you wanted him out in good time!

 

[firsttimer1]

glowie.... so you and baby are bound me meet VERY soon then? this is sooooo exciting... but you are TOTALLY jumping the que LOL think we will forgive you why would they send u home when u sound like ur obv in labour

sucks about food... cant you sneaky eat some? pretend to go to the loo and accidently meet a vending machine

 

[lozza1uk]

Glow - if we hadnt met and I didn't know what a lovely lady you are, I might be very angry with you for leaping the queue!
Fortunately I've eaten well all day, a dairy milk, pack of fruit gums, bounty, bowl of tortellini, 2 onion bahjis and a bowl of blueberries and grapes so I'm well stocked for energy! I suppose if I can eat between contractions they can't be that bad!

 

[mitchnorm]

Glow...so.exciting...good luck

FT...pessary and gel can.not work but the drip.i would suggest rarely does espec as you.are over due date x

waula....oh yeah Mia has some definate hair...must post on here for non.fb laddies spitting image of her dad when.he was born....bless
