[citymouse]

Yes, good luck, Glowie!

AFM, just about tearing my hair out. The construction guys have their radio on and it's driving me insane! I'm supposed to try to work like crazy today but I can't concentrate at all. Plus I think they're painting inside with the oil-based paint and it smells.

After things being supposed to be done today, and then the contractor telling me about the stuff he's doing tomorrow, this afternoon he told me (as if it was great news) that he can put the mirror in Monday morning. I just want them GONE! I still have so much work to try to do and it's completely 50 times harder with them here working.

 

[Glowstar]

I will be here on known as the sneaky queue jumper!!

watch this space contractions will tail off and I'll still be here next week!!!

I could eat something, anything right now I'm starving!!!

 

[citymouse]

I'm just about to work myself into a lather. Because I started thinking how this morning I mentioned to DH that he's not been cleaning up his own breakfast dishes like he said he would start to do and he said, "Well, I can't do anything about that now!" And I didn't think about it because the dishwasher was full of clean dishes... and it just occurred to me that it would never have occurred to him to actually put away the clean dishes.

When MIL said I would need extra help after the baby was born, I didn't realize that what she meant was that she didn't teach her son to lift a damn finger around the house!

 

[Glowstar]

told you so! being sent home! contractions stopped still 3cm but cervix forward and +2 station. so will just have to wait and see.

 

[citymouse]

Aw, Glowie, it'll be soon, though!

 

[loolindley]

Being sent home!!!! Gah! How frustrating! Go and have some food babe. xx

I love that the Northern race is on! Lozza, I really hope today is your day, you must be exhausted. xx

Loving the sudden appearance of more babies! Congratulations Joanna, niknac and kymied!!!!!

Afm, eurgh, I'll get to that another time. Dharma also on day 5 checks today. xx

 

[loolindley]

Ft, the gel failed for me, but they only started me on the drip because they COULD break my waters. If they couldn't they would have given me a 24 hr break and tried again. They did tell me that they wouldn't have sent me home though. xxxx

 

[lozza1uk]

I was wondering how kymied was getting on - congratulations!! Sounds like a quick ish labour, lucky thing!

Currently sitting in the bath, it does feel better in here so I hope when they eventually agree I can go in I get a birth pool!

Glow - sorry, at least they let you go home though rather than sit in hospital with nothing happening. Frustrating though this isn't it! And the longer it goes on the more time I have to dread the pain that's coming... Not good positive thinking I know, I'm trying!

 

[Skadi]

Oh Glow... the no food thing is terrible. They did that to me when my water broke. I hadn't ate anything since about 9 pm and they wouldn't let me eat until about 4pm the next day! They gave me a tuna sandwich and it was honestly the best thing I ever ate... and I HATE tuna sandwiches! lol Terrible. Hopefully you start contracting again soon though!

 

[Glowstar]

Lozza try and stay positive hunni! you've laboured for ages on your own and sure you will be relieved when you get there and your 5-6cm and you know you won't have long to go!! baby for you sometime later on today!!!

Think mine might make an appearance over the next 48+ hours. Told to try plenty of walking and hopefully will kick things off again

Just eaten Cannelloni but I was starving....going to let it settle and then off to try and get some sleep

Loo - hope you are OK

 

[lozza1uk]

If I'm not 6cm when they eventually let me past the people on the phone I might kill someone! I'll definitely cry . A lot.

 

[lozza1uk]

Finally got allowed in - I'm 5cm!!! Ok so it's not 6, but I'm being transferred to delivery suite and not sent home! Birth centre is full though so prob can't use it, unless someone leaves. Don't care any more. Thanks so much for keeping me sane the last 24 hours, couldn't have done it without you!!

 

[mitchnorm]

Oooh lozza winning the baby NW race!!! Good luck babe...so excited gor ypu.to meet your yellow bump..which i predict will turn blu (to even out the NW baby pink.and blue numbers).....7lb 4oz.....9:45pm today x

Mouse.....men grrrrrr...dont their mums teach them anything!!!!mine has been a star since Mia arrived....long may it continue. Your OH will step up i.promise....if not let us mamas loose on him

Loo...Mias 5 day checks today...worried how much she weighs...i knowthey are expected to lose up to 10%...but she is so tiny i want her to.retain ss much as possible....better you feel the same with Dharma too not looking forward to her heel prick reaction...poor girly. I forget ours have same birthdays x

 

[loolindley]

Lozza, good luck!!!! I'm so excited for you! I predict a boy, weighing 8lb 2oz born at 22.35 today.

Glow, am ok, just lost my grip on reality a little bit.

Mitch, the weight loss thing worries me too, and no matter how much I know it's ok to lose up to 10% of her weight, I know it will upset me and I will feel like I have done something wrong. It's tough. Everything she can get is from me, so I want her putting on weight, not losing it! I've got my Kleenex ready!! xxxxx

 

[mitchnorm]

I feel the same....go Dharma and Mia
for you!!!

Job for me today....change signature..i am certainly.no.longer preggers ha ha

 

[loolindley]

Me too!!!! Going to put a weight loss ticker up I think. I'd lost 10.5lbs at slimming world this week, and have lost another half a stone since I got weighed there on Wednesday. Breast feeding has SO many benefits!!

I hope Mia's visit goes well today!! Come on micro babies!!! xxx

 

[Widger]

Woo hoo Lozza only fair you were before glow although Glow will beat me at this rate
I predict boy, at 2.45pm, 8lb

Glow - hope all ok and things kick off again

Mitch/loo - your babies are so small so it is totally normal for them to lose weight as their little tummies are so tiny so please don't feel too disheartened. Your milk will progress soon too so you'll be proper milking machines

Loo - great weight loss already. I think is only lost about 3lb first few days and Daniel was 8lb
9.... How did that happen?


So afm, nada.... Apart from wind pains AGAIN!! This baby is showing no signs of wanting to escape. I obviously like to keep my babies in a little while longer. April here I come

Off out to make most of sunshine again and most of time just the three of us as things going to get pretty hectic soon enough

 

[Glowstar]

lozza - so excited for you!! you trooper getting to 5cm on your own!! I'm predicting girl 12.37pm weighing 7lbs 13oz.

loo and Mitch - hope your 5 day checks go well. and loo what an amazing weight loss already!!!

widger I think your baby will come on Tuesday latest!!

nothing happening here! couple of tightenings but nothing to write home about.

 

[vitfawifetobe]

oh ladies how exciting - wishing you lots of good labour vibes

Mitch and Loo - hope your checks go well today

Loo - amazing on the weight loss - go you

NO sign of baby - due date today - booooooo..... Off for a walk with hubby and popping into the next sale - finish the housework - no rest lol

[loolindley]

Thanks lads!

Dharma has lost just under 10% of her weight, but the midwife is happy as long as she doesn't lose any more. It's been a very reassuring morning, and she showed me how I should be latching Dharma on which no one had previously done, so I feel a bit more confident that I am doing my best by her.

I forgot to say congratulations to Crowned too. Baby brain!
