yay Ft chuffed things are kicking off on their own! xxx

loo - that sounds like colic. have a good search on here for answers/help bound to be loads. you are not failing please don't think that. it's hard hun it really is and it all seems worse when hormones are playing up no one can really prepare you mentally. if you need ANYTHING even a cry in my shoulder I am here 24/7 xx

Well, I can safely say I did not eat a boot to make me so ill City. Naughty pooch.

I'm still in bed feeling awful. I've not been sick since 7 but still had few.visits to the toilet. Baby is moving so all ok there. Ive just had enough. Can't sleep or get comfortable. This nausea is driving me insane. I hope it means things on move but only once feel better. Can't imagine going into labour feeling so dreadful

Ft - fab news about waters going, hope contractions intensify for you. I told you Sunday would be the day something happens

Loo - Glad you have some space. I always found that difficult in first few weeks with bfing in front of others when not overly confident etc. Plus, generally having to make conversation with anyone. I did say before top tip for baby to go into Moses basket is to put hot water bottle in there first to warm it up, one of dads shirts (not yours as will smell milk), you could always raise mattress slightly by putting blankets underneath if problem is wind and are you swaddling? Or maybe if you are, tried not swaddling? Seriously though, you are doing an amazing job so don't blame yourself. Baby blues really make you feel as if doing everything wrong and blame yourself. It is natural xx

Ouch. if this is latent phase cramps then im NOT looking forward to tonight / tomo!

in other news.... not a bad F1 eh emera?

edit: Oops but not for JB... forgot you liked him

 

[blessedmomma]

yay ft!!!!!

newfie- your birth story sounds a lot like mine. by the time contractions started regular and i got to hospital i was 9cm, but no pain relief for me either. contractions started at 8pm and he was born at 9:09pm. quickest labor i have ever had. i pushed him out in one push. the nurses and dr was impressed, but really it hurt so much i didnt want to prolong it so just pushed as hard as i could til it was over lol!

congrats on the new babies lately, im stalking but rarely have time to catch all the way up or post. cant wait to see more babies

 

[Glowstar]

FT if you get to the point where you can't cope phone L&D and go up

 

[kkl12]

Congrats to all the newest mamas and March babies!!!

Good luck FT, hopefully contractions pick up on their own.

Here's a picture of Evelyn from when she was in NICU and one from yesterday, can't believe she's a week old today!

 

[firsttimer1]

she is lovely.... and wow, a week goes sooooo fast!

im thinking maybe cupcake has something going down... or maybe she is just busy

 

[Widger]

I remember thinking same Ft, latent labour sucks particularly when I went to hospital to be told only 1cm

She's lovely kkl2

 

[Widger]

Cupcake did have very long list of jobs to get through... hoping she is in labour though

 

[firsttimer1]

all the chores she is doing... she MUST be nesting! just had a contraction and gosh that one hurt. Far too infequent an short to be getting excited though. My plan is....

Bath
Oil Massage
TENS

unsure whether to sleep as i only got about 4 hours last night

widger - is it nice weather by you? its gorrrggeeeeoous here got all my washing drying little things

 

[Widger]

It's lovely, like yesterday although not as warm but I'm currently lying in bed

My contractions never had set pattern ft, I didn't get any closer than 5 mins at home but towards end some were lasting 3 mins!!! That's why I think latent labour sucks hoping for an easier time this time round. So keep a close watch on them xx

 

[firsttimer1]

widger - i reallllllllllllllllly hope you feel better soon hunni alot of ladies get sick before labour, so maybe hold onto that thought? LOADS of love xxx

 

[Widger]

Thanks
Anyway, enough about me...

I predict boy, 8lb 10oz, 7am tomorrow... Long night ahead

 

[waula]

FT - woohoo!!! get you in latent labour!!! I'm so excited for you. And yes, waters are pretty rank. If you can get some sleep i would...you will need your snooze levels to be as high as possible before you go in and get Digs out!!! I had 70 hours with no sleep before Noah and it broke me. Go snooze. xxx

 

[wouldluvabub]

Yay FT!!! Good luck!! and yes waters are foul.. I didn't go far from the toilet after mine broke as I kept having small gushes every now and then. I can remember just sitting there going oh god this is just gross!!!

 

[citymouse]

Hope you're getting rest, FT!

I say: boy, 8lb 12oz, tomorrow at 4:25 am.

Widger, feel better soon. And I'm not sure I believe you about the boot. Btw, LOVE the idea of giving baby Daddy's scent! How sweet!
