I hear you on that....sometimes well alot of the times I want to cry and DH tells me "well thats what pregnancy is like" yeah like he would know ...told me to suck it up...I wanted to kill him

oh my sammy! what a poop! im surprised you didnt kill him, lol! there would probably be enough women on the jury that have been pregnant you would have gotten acquitted just for hormonal rage

my DH is pretty sensitive, he cant stand to see me in pain. thank heavens! i dont cry much so when i do it really gets to him. he will do anything to make it all better.

totall wish Angela!

I get those pains every now and then too. They hurt and are uncomfortable. I just cringe until they go away, which usually isn't too long.

My mom informed me tonight that her water didn't break at all, the doctor had to break it, but once he did, she went fairly quickly. So I am hoping there is something good in there for me too. She said she was in labour for 12 hours first though before they broke her water......

I think I am starting to get nervous for Tuesday....It's more so the part after baby is here......what if I don't have a clue as to what I am doing?! Does natural instinct just kick in?

 

[S_a_m_m_y]

yes natural instinct kicks in, well for me it did at least....

 

[msarkozi]

god I hope so, otherwise I am going to be googling a lot to tell me what to do!!!

 

[S_a_m_m_y]

The only thing I think that was difficult for me, was the waking several times during the night, but not too different from being big fat and uncomfortable during the last few weeks of pregnancy. You'll be a great mommy and so in love with your lo

 

[msarkozi]

I think that part will be hard for sure. I think for the first bit, I will definitely try to sleep when the baby is sleeping

 

[braijackava]

Trust me, if I was able to do it at 16 then you will be wonderful! My mom refused to help me with most things when I had my first son, so I did everything myself. There were a few rough times, but it all works out.

 

[braijackava]

Oh and I just noticed, last ticker box!!!!

Hi ladies. Haven't had a chance to really catch up properly on posts, so I hope this finds everyone doing well today. DH and I took a day trip to the coast (it's an hour drive) and spent some time on the beach walking around, taking some pics, playing with the dog, harvesting some mussels for dinner tonight, and just enjoying each other's company. I wanted one last trip in before baby and it was a perfect day. Got some nice pics too--the weather was great for this time of year here. No rain except a touch on the drive home...lots of sunshine!

Hope you are all well. Can't wait to start seeing some baby pics and hearing more birth stories.

Yay for the day trip....wish I had the courage to take the drive...its about 1.5 hr drive for me. Glad you had a good time with DH

 

[S_a_m_m_y]

well ladies I am actually feeling tired....this is early for me going to go to sleep before my body changes it's mind...lol have a great night ladies, talk to you tomorrow

 

[membas#1]

hi girls - no beds again today, had to go up for a ctg though, seriously upset and boy did i tell them this morning, i dont think they want me up there again after what i said! must have listened though cuse consultant rang me a minute ago appoligising for the treatment i said to him - dont appoligise just get me in when you say your gonna and get more staff cuse i cant find childcare now from tuesday im buggered!... he said i was next on list and priority now... hmmm we will see! i still have to phone in again 2moro morning though and check on beds, lets just hope i have him quickly to save all this heartache! my poor hubby i have completely taken all this out on him and had a bloody anxiety attack this morning! been gettin pains for days and losing plug but not progressing! this happened with my other 2 i need the hormonal drip to get me going my body dont like getting geared up for it - 2 nights no sleep im exhausted so praying now my baby gives me a easy labour - doubtful tho!!

 

[MumtoJ]

Shell,

So sorry your going through this, childbirth is stressful enough without all the added crap.

 

[Shell'sAngels]

thanks Catherine, i know its not the end of the world and this is life sometimes, but what they dont and people realise is last time i was on this ward i lost my baby boy and i have very raw and bitter memories as it is and was treated appolingly back then they were so neglectful and didnt read my notes and thought i was there for a termination!! honestly it was disgusting, and now this again i just feel like screaming its brought my anxiety attacks back and thats no good for baby! my bp was up this morning too - i wonder why!!

 

[readynwilling]

Shell's. I hope they have a bed for you tomorrow. I hope the consultant takes you very seriously now.

9:30am here - went to bed at 12 up at 5:30 to pee and up for 9 for the day. One of the best sleeps i've had in while i doubt it will provide any extra energy though today i have to deliver the cake, want to go to the mall for a bit, and do some housework (well don't really want the house work LOL). I was supposed to pick up my TENS rental tomorrow - might try to see if i can swing by and get it this afternoon instead. Then i can spend all day at home finishing up baby stuff.

 

[blessedmomma]

shells- sorry you are dealing with so much stress right now. thats horrible how they treated you last time. i hope you can relax some today and that theres a bed tomorrow.

cathryn- i hope your feeling better!

rach- i hope baby gets a move on soon, lol!!!

melissa- your motherly instincts will definitely kick in, dont worry hun!

yay for all the last minute trips, dinners, movies, outtings, etc

sara- i had a descent nights sleep last night too. after 4 bad nights i really needed it. DH got up with the baby so i could sleep in today, yay!

we are doing a little more shopping today and relaxing for tomorrow. its very surreal knowing when your gonna be in labor. think it makes me more nervous knowing when than if it was a surprise.

 

[braijackava]

Hopefully my contractions don't pick up between now and tomorrow. We are supposed to get a ton of snow between now and then. 1 to 2 feet i believe. Don't want to have to go to the hospital in that!

 

[rottpaw]

Hugs Blessed, I will be praying for you tomorrow! So exciting though to know when, even if it adds to the anxiousness a little. I'm so excited FOR you! Please text or let me know when baby arrives and I'll update the list for you!

Shells, I am SO sorry about all you are going thru! honey!

Brai, I hope you do get a break and don't have to go out in that snow! Scary! It's been 70 here yesterday and in 60's today - no snow for us but the weather is making me want to get out. If only I had energy!

all!

Anyone else dealing daily with shooting sting/stabbing pains in/on your cervix....been getting then throughout the day for the last three days....doesnt change stop if I sit/stand/walk and it hurts like hell...please tell me I'm not alone

i get it sometimes but i thought it was baby poking at my cervix. he is very low and his hands are always right by his face and head in the scans

could be from pressure of baby's head on your cervix too i would assume. pressing on nerves or something?

Sammy I've had some of these and yes, they'll about knock you over. I think it is when baby's head or hands hit my cervix; each one only lasts briefly, but sometimes he just gets himself in the wrong position and keeps doing it. THAT'S always interesting!
