I had natural last time which was a miracle (the hospitals C-secion rate for low risk pregnancies was 85%) and I was told I can only have natural this time if my baby is measuring smaller than the last one (she was 3.8kg or 8 pounds 3 ounces) It is likely to be an induced natural though if I get that far.

My boobs never hurt last time and are only occassionally sensitive this tiime. I am incredibly tired (and ideas for what to do with toddlers so I can rest?) and getting low back ache easily. I have been carrying my daughter to school every morning (its probably 500m walk, not sure) but find I am out of breath now doing so, so she's back in a pushchair from tomorrow - its too much of a rush to get her to walk (we'd be late as she drags her heels)
 
labour with my son was great i started getting contractions on 14th august (day before his due date) and ignored them went for a meal and to cinema with OH we jokingly told the waiter it was our last supper before being parents (it was lol)
got home about 11pm and pains were getting more uncomfy, still didnt tell OH and we :sex:!
then bout 1pm started hurting abit more so i got up n started timing them, then bout 4am i went into hosp and was examined and was 5cm!!
had pethadine and gas and air and he was born at 4.01pm on his due date :) i wasnt even in hardly any pain til 10cm when my waters were broken by mw, the consultant asked for me to be examined again cus he kept saying i should be in more pain for 8cm at the time lmao,

jesse had cord around his neck when his head came out so MW ripped him out of me, i had 3rd degree tear and had to have spinal to go to theatre for 3hours!!

consultant said cus of how i tore he would advise me to have c section in future pregnancys because i have a high risk of being incontinent otherwise, and they would struggle to sew me up again cus of all the scar tissue now,

bit gutted really cus id love to give birth naturally again it was amazing i loved it! but its not a risk i want to take being 20 and incontinent is not something i want to risk!! x
 
tanikit - id love to know how to get my LO to calm down abit so i didnt have to chase him around when im knackered! hes not even one yet but god he isnt half fast, i miss a baby that couldnt move!! i was trying to picture having 2 babies earlier tryna imagine his bedroom with 2 cots in etc,

anybody else got a baby under 1? how are you with the idea of 2 under 2? xxx
 
Becky that is quite scary - how was your little one? Did he get a good Apgar score? Sorry about the tearing. I always said: "just do what is best for the baby and me" I am even more high risk this time round than I was last time, so I am expecting a C-section. My DH is desperate that I have a C-section cause I had to push for 1.5 hours and they used the ventouse about 10 times - my DD had to go to ICU for the night and had a huge hematoma (blood swelling) on her head from which I think she also got bad jaundice later. They were worried they wouldn't get her out cause by then it was too late to get her back in and do a C-section. So yeah, I won't fight a C-section although if baby is the same size it still should be easier the second time around.
 
Rach fingers crossed for you. x

Trying not to think of the birth, my son was an episiotomy and forceps birth, he was 10 days early and a healthy 6lb 13 oz.
 
he got perfect apgar score and he is completly fine, right on target or ahead development wise, he didnt cry straight away though which was damn scary, but i would never complain about it, they got him out safely for me im glad, i dont care if i had to have a million stitches as long as hes safe thats fine by me!! id do it all again in a second! he was 8lbs 9oz so bigger than average!

im not really looking forward to c section but at the end of the day i just want my baby here safe and if i can help it my bits in one piece ;) so im happy! xx
 
My boobs really hurt. It's so sore when I take my bra off at night. I have an abundance of cm and I'm sweating more than usual.

Also I'm starting to get waves of nausea if I let myself get hungry. Which is allll the time!!!

I can't wait to move up a box tomorrow. I'm gonna wish so hard that my numbers double. I hope I hope I hope xxxxx

I'm having baked potato and beans for dinner yum!
 
i could eat baked potato actually struggling to find anything i fancy, feeling a tuna sandwich though i really am haha x
 
I've been eating cheese and onion toastie a lot until the onion made me queasy!
 
You've moved up a box already Rach! :) Signs sound good - I'm also craving things (like milk which I normally hate and yoghurt with no fruit in) Based on your signs your results should increase - do you know your first value cause if it is over 1000 then it is allowed to double more slowly though 1000 would be very high for this stage.
 
Yay for moving up a box Rach!! :hugs: to all the mommies who had a hard go their first labour.

I find that i get queezy if i let myself get hungry otherwise im fine... so i've been eating every couple of hours even if its just yogurt and a fruit. Just got back from a 1/2 hour walk. I need to try to get one in everyday! But i get sooo lazy.
 
hi ladies!
just caught up on thread, im so sorry snowball:cry:

i had two miscarriages, there is nothing worse. im praying for you :hugs:

i am having no big symptoms yet, usually have terrible morning sickness so cant wait for that to kick in. my boobs are huge but not sore yet.

felt sick this morning but ate and felt better

oh, and def more tired already
 
So sorry Snowball :(

Hi Boothh! You know I have one under one - you've met her :haha:

I had a pretty alright first delivery, aside from the forceps and aspirated meconium, so I'm hoping to just shell this one right out (if all goes well and she sticks). Mog had an apgar of 5 at birth but was up to 9 by five minutes, just had to have some antibiotics in her little IV :(

I didn't really have any symptoms last time, although I did have a touch of antenatal depression and I was pure evil to be around the whole way through my pregnancy really. The irritability is here alright, as is the inappropriate weepiness.
 
I feel queasy before I eat then really bloated and full after even if it's just a little light snack. My boobs just feel a bit sore when I take my bra off, my main symptom is my heart palpitations, getting them loads already, that is what gave me an inkling I might be pregnant. I had to be monitored during my last pregnancy as I was getting them so frequently.
 
aunty E - it feels weird to be back on the pregnancy board together, mild case of dejavu!

cheese and onion is one of the things i can stomach actually, just had a cheese and onion sandwich from asda and some coke, not had full fat coke in ages cus of dieting so thought id treat myself lmao!

i am completly knackered! jesse has ran rings around me all day, and hes showing no signs of stopping, so think im gunna put him in the bath then get in myself and have an hours peace while OH puts him to bed! xx
 
Aunty E, like you I was very miserable last pregnancy - terribly irritable. I started the pregnancy happy but got terribly horrible later on. This pregnancy will hopefully be the other way around as I started out very grumpy and irritable before I got my BFP but since then I have been ok.

DHs turn to bath DD and get her to bed so I will get some rest now. We spent some time with DD looking at photos of her when she was a baby - can't believe how much she's changed. It was weird looking back over the last few years and remembering things - especially when all the memories are right in front of you in one go. DD really enjoyed it.
 
well nice warm bath has stopped my cramping pretty much, feel loads better, LO in bed so gunna relax now :) and eat pizza lol x
