hope appt goes well brai x

I want baby to come now cause I kee panicking bout all the things that can go wrong. being on mat leave sat watching tele doesn't help cause it gives me time to worry.

I swear she is too big now for my belly cause she keeps hitting bones with her foot! and its very tight. everyone is telling me im so high too so she'll have to drop 1st. jus bored now... come out!!

im making cheesecake today and then vegetable pasta rataouille for dinner. that should keep me entertained for the day. we have the final parentcraft class where they bring in someones baby - it will just make me want mine more! most people in the class are only 30-32 wks so least im closer than them. OH clearly doesnt want to DTD but im too scared to try capsules up "there". dont know what else to do. if something went wrong i'd blame my impatientness!

Tanikit hows the contractions?

I want to have some - even if they are BH... i haven't had any!

Hello Ladies

I haven't been on for A while thanks to the early arrival of Matilda at 35+3 on 27th January! My waters broke in the night and labour started about 9.30 am on the Thursday. I had it pretty easy as she was born at 15.46 and weighed a healthy 5lb 9oz. We stayed in hospital for a while as she needed some antibiotics for infection but we are now home and she is thriving! It's amazing! Good luck to all the other ladies, I'll look forward to reading the birth announcements!

CONGRATS hun!!!! glad you are both home now! What a suprise arrival!! xxxx

Just on my lunch so thought'd I'd pop on and say good luck to everyone with appointments today and especially to Natty - looking forward to seeing pics of your new man ...

Glad a couple more of you have the dates you were waiting on for inductions or checks.

Tanikit, hope things progress for you so you can avoid your induction. Try and keep active to help things progress.

Anglea, not sure if your on BnB at the moment with everything going on but if you are just to let you know we are thinking of you.

Rach, I know how you feel with the feet thing - mine manages to run his feet up and down my ribs like a xylaphone (sp?) and then stretch out and stick them out my back .

Brai, hope you get on at drs ok and you find out one way or another if your machine is giving you accurate readings and hope the "checks" dont cause too much discomfort.

On a funny note - OH came to bed late last night after falling asleep on the sofa and apparently in my sleep I keep scratching my tummy and then sighing, it was making him giggle and stopping him fall back to sleep... not so funny is that I've been up since 3 am and am know very tired with meetings from 1 through to 5pm.

Congrats razorhips - that must have been a very big surprise - have you got any pictures we can see? Hope you are recovering well.

Contractions have not stopped - I had a bath and they seemed to calm down in there but it was a short bath and as soon as I stood up they started again. I have also now had very painful sharp spikes in my right hand side very low and a good many in my cervix that have made me have to stand still and lean against a wall, but I can still talk through all contractions and they are still irregular so not too sure - I just don't want to go and be checked and then sent home to come back the next evening. The contractions do not stop if I sit down or lie down either. I do not know what labour is like since I have only ever been induced with pitocin and that was a LOT more painful than this. Would love to know how I will know when to go in - I daren't wait til they are 5min apart and regular because of all the drips they need to set up with the diabetes and I really do not want a home birth with all the risks. Am also feeling quite nauseous today - not sure if that has anything to do with it.

wow shes beautiful well done how was the labour

 

[blessedmomma]

awwwww congrats april!!!! she is absolutely adorable. and daddy looks so proud...

tanikit- two of my labors started out that way. had period pains and irregular contractions that eventually got stronger and more regulated. when i started to bleed thats when i knew for sure. a lot of women dont bleed though. i hope its the start of things!!

yay for date melissa!

natty- TOMORROW!!!!! i woke up thinking about you today and that tomorrow you will be going in to see your baby cant wait to see some pics of the lil guy

hope everyone is having a great week-

 

[Nixilix]

SO CUTE!!! STUNNING!!!

Congrats, love the name too xx

 

[pinkycat]

Pinkycat did getting that colostrum set off contractions - heard nipple stimulation can and have been tempted now, but not too sure yet

Yes it did, but they were irregular and didnt amount to anything. I did lose a lot of my plug on sun night after having lots of contractions after expressing every few hours on sun, not sure if thats connected.

Congrats razorhips she is soooo cute

Baby is very quiet today, im trying not to stress out

 

[Shell'sAngels]

awww congrats razor she is gorgeous!!!

Ive just had midwife appointment, she has worried me that i may not be going in friday... she said i have to ring up in the morning check there not to busy first and its manic up there lately she said so i could be put off for days... but with 2 children and childcare and my husbands work this cant happen! im just praying they are ok for me to come up on friday. She said babies dropped right down in my pelvis now so thats all good

 

[Tanikit]

Congrats razorhips she is gorgeous!

Melissa hope this is doing something - good to know it can lead to labour - still rather irregular at the moment though.

Natty its so close now - thinking of you!

 

[blessedmomma]

shells- how disappointing! i know exactly what you mean about making plans for the kids. its so much nicer to have things planned and placed for them to be than last minute trying to figure stuff out. all 4 of mine will be in hospital with us my girls do pretty good about helping out at 10 and 12 yrs old so hopefully they will have good behavior and help. sometimes they just get the little ones all rounded up acting crazy. i hope you get to get in for friday and everything works out good for your family!!!

every time i get up to pee today i get all crampy and run out of breath. i think im getting a lot bigger sitting around here. i have had a sweet tooth lately too and Dh does not help detour it. he spoils me so much if i mention anything he brings it home. i think i will be gaining more weight this last month than the rest of the entire pregnancy, yikes!

 

[blessedmomma]

my girls are planning a home spa day this weekend. they are gonna paint my toenails and fingernails, soak our feet, and do mud masks to relax before the induction on monday they have to be the sweetest girls. we are gonna have so much fun. dont know what else they have planned, but sounds exciting. we havent done a home spa day in so long. will be very nice.

 

[Tanikit]

That sounds nice Melissa - hope you and the girls enjoy it!

Shell's sounds like you are ready for labour/induction - really hope they will have space for you and that your kids will be organised. It is disappointing to hear it may be another day especially when you have been gearing up for it.

Decided to see if I could get things going more so climbed the stairs and it made the contractions more sore and the pelvic pressure also more. Then I went outside and pushed DD on her swing and wandered around and that also set them off more. Then my mother said Don't do that cause we all need supper and DH isn't home to take me to the hospital yet - lol, so now I am resting - maybe I'll do so in the middle of the night instead when everyone is asleep. Still contracting while resting, but they are not getting more or more painful now.
