Ugh, seriously? Of all people, my sister is the one who puts up the FB post that gets the family asking about the baby! Annoys me more than words can say.
Hey ladies
Just popping in to see how everyone is holding up
Im still here - another lovely day in the garden and walk with my mum.
Ive had stabbing pains down below and period pains in my back for the last hour - is this normal at this stage or is it a sign of early things happening ? baby is also very very active
sorry i havent read back on everyones posts yet but i have been too busy with my gorgous son!
Rupert was born this morning at 2.45am weighing 8lbs12oz.
i was induced as planned by pessery yesterday morning at 12 noon, i had no pain relief until 5cm dilated and had 2 paracetamol. Then got to 8cm before starting the gas and air and he was born within 45 mins of being transferred to the delivery ward. No other pain relief!! it was so natural i just went with what my body wanted. The urge to push was just incrediable.
no tears but a couple of bad grazes.
been having some difficulty getting Rupert latched on for breastfeeding. he seems very sleepy but he has had 3 feeds so far so i dont think that is too bad.
will put some pics up as soon as i can.
congrats to FT and George.
got to go and feed him now before he eats his own fists!!
Cupcake, congratulations! Well done with the gas and air and paracetamol only! The urge to push is amazing eh?! sounds like Rupert and you are doing great! Its hard work being born!
Huge congratulations Cupcake - incredible news and so pleased we've had a lovely induction story!!! So impressed you got to 5cm before having a paracetamol. Hero. And Rupert is an awesome name... Good luck with getting him latched on - its definitely something both of you have to learn... Enjoy all the cuddles - they change sooo fast!!!
Cupcake - congratulations on your baby boy Rupert xx he's lovely and of course, well worth the wait
Vitfie - hopefully sounds good but I've had for past week and still here, plus nobody is allowed to queue jump anymore ok!!!
City - have you calmed down yet? I think I'm feeling a little vexed myself, but with my husband.
Well, my husband getting ill is seriously doing my head in. He is the WORST patient. I mean, I was ill at the weekend and 40 weeks pregnant, I think in the battle of illness, I'd win.. don't you think. Luckily, my mum here tonight so if something does kick off she can be substitute birth partner.... Not ideal but better than cough, cough, splutter, more coughs
Awww Cupcake HUGE congrats on the birth of your beautiful little boy Rupert!! he is gorgeous and soooooooo worth all the wait eh?
Nice to hear a lovely induction story and that you got the birth you wanted and go you for only having G&A
Vitfa - could be the start of something. I've had mega knitting needles up my foof for a few days but nothing happening
My 2 mile walk in the blazing heat did nothing but make me sweat and gave me a stitch and now a headache so many people phoning and texting today...and then texting and If I don't answer within minutes phoning me....arrrghhhhhhhhhhhhh leave me alone!!
Glowie, just call them all traitors... it certainly quieted my sister down. I feel a little guilty for being so snappish, but then I reread the email I sent to my family last week and I think that made it clear that I was hoping people would keep the chatter down. So she should have known. Plus, I'm 40 weeks pregnant. I can snap at somebody if I want.
Widger, oh, you poor thing! Men are so helpless when they're sick, it's ridiculous. (And thank you, I am feeling better. )
I'm on a cleaning bender today... not what I need to be doing, but it's what feels right.
