*** March Mummies *** 29 Boys, 34 Girls, 8 Team Yellow! 46 babies born!!

[Tanikit]

Hi again, I have a LOT to catch up on, but thought i'd update first since already one hand typing.

Had an induction on 17/02 - baby got distressed once I was about 7cm dilated so they took her out very fast by Caesarian. They also battled to get her sugar levels up after the birth and she has been in ICU til this morning though she did very well since Saturday evening. So today is my birthday and the best present I got was being able to bring baby Kirima home. She was born at 15:03 on 17/02/2011 weighing 3.84kg (8 pounds 7 ounces)

Now off to check everyone's updates - good luck to all of thse being induced/in labour today.

After my comments earlier, I am not real crampy and just feeling not right. Have a MW app at 4:30 so will see what she says.

An update from Shell in case she doesn't feel like doing it herself ... She has been sent home again from the hospital - very understandably she is very upset so not sure if she will be on or be busy distracting herself.

 

[MumtoJ]

Tanikit, congratulations on your baby girl (photos please) and HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Sorry you had to go through that stress but glad she is all ok now. what a lovely birthday present.

 

[Nixilix]

shells- how absolutely frustrating! i hope they can get you back in today. so sorry hun!

 

[rottpaw]

Blessed, have a smooth and safe delivery and let me know when there's any news!! HUGS!

Shell's I am SO sorry they are running you around like this!

Natty, gorgeous little boy!! So happy for you!

Tanikit - yay for a safe delivery, and happy birthday!

AFM - no new episodes of any regular contractions. baby seems quite happy where he is! Trying to make this my last week of work in the office. Wish me luck!

 

[Nixilix]

Hey. Baby hasn't movednmuch today. And isn't movin when poking. Heartbeat strong though but still worried.

 

[MumtoJ]

Nix if worried go get it checked - mine is also much quieter lately - am planning on mentioning it to MW today.

 

[Nixilix]

I've tried all the tricks. Poking, chocolate, cold drink, loud music. It's like she's tucked up really tight and doesn't want to move. No feet are escaping or anything?!! How long are you supposed to not feel anything before you go?

 

[MumtoJ]

Don't know of an actual length of time but do you have the number of day assessment unit on the front of your green notes? if you do ring them and have a chat - the worst thing that will happen is they will tell you to monitor for another x period of time and if nothing come in - worse / best that can happen is you go in and baby starts jumping around.

Congrats tanikit and happy birthday!
so sorry shells, how horrible. I would be so mad!

 

[pinkycat]

Im sorry ladies i haven't really caught up with what iv missed, just flicked through last night.

Here is a pic of Niamah Megan (if it works) I will give details when i feel better. Lost lots of blood during section and need a transfussion but im trying to avoid it with iron tablets. She was worth every second of it though

 

[braijackava]

Congrats Pinky!
Does anyone else think it is weird my doctor is stripping my membranes at only 36 weeks? I am not complaining, but I wonder if it is because he is measuring 3 weeks ahead?

 

[2nd time]

well went to hospital and had ctg baby is happy my toco reading was over 50% on a reg basis does this mean i am in labour or just that my uturus is twitchy

 

[msarkozi]

Congratulations Tanikit, and Happy Birthday!

Chrissie, she is gorgeous.

Thinking of Melissa today...hoping that baby comes quickly

 

[readynwilling]

Congrats Tanikit Happy Birthday!!

Thinking of you today Shell's and Blessed Im excited for you both!!

Sorry Shells, just read the update. Thats terrible they sent you home

Rach - i was told 6 movements (any kind, any strength) in 2 hours.

Shes gorgeous Pinkycat

36 weeks does seem early brai - but if LO is measuring ahead, and there is really only a 25% chance of a sweep bringing on labour, maybe he is just trying to promote an early (but still full term) labour. I was told that it helps so you don't go overdue - and im having mine done tomorrow at 38 +5.

 

[S_a_m_m_y]

Tankit congrats on your little girls arrival...happy birthday too! Sorry delivery wasn't smooth but glad to hear she's doing well.

Shells sorry hope things work out soon...

Blessed thinking and praying for a safe smooth delivery of little Nathon...cant wait to see some pictures!! Take Care Hun!

Pinky....Congrats hun she's adorable!!!! Well done! Hope your resting and enjoying all the little cuddles and snuggles from LO.

And if I missed anyone...sorry alot of ladies to keep up with

Tomorrow I will Be 35 WEEKS with 35 DAYS LEFT

 

[MumtoJ]

Fab pic Chrissie shes beautiful. I did the opposite went for the transfusion over the iron tablets - my body just doesn't process the tablets. Good luck, it may take some time to feel perky again so be kind to yourself.

Brai - that seems early to me but they won't give me one until 41 weeks and I'm really hoping not to go that far - wont even check to see if any dialation unless I go to L&D saying I'm in labour or waters gone !


2nd time - glad everything ok - don't know about the 50% thing whens your next MW app?

Not sure of the time over the pond but hope Melissa (b) is getting on ok and Melissa (m) is making the most of her last day before going in.

AFM - thought my MW app was 4:30 turns out is was 4 so was a bit late - she saw me anyway but a bit of a rush. everything fine, mentioned he was more quiet than normal and she just said that if worried phone the assessment centre but as long as I was gettin regular periods of movement his routine may have just changed but to phone assessment if worried. HB good and DS gets real coy when we listen to it. She said he's definately starting to engage, frustratingly he had wriggled up about an hour before I got there but hey ho he'll come when ready. Next app isn't until 40+2 and she wont do a sweep until 41 weeks I so hope he is here by then.

Hope everyone else is fine - sorry to those who I've missed I'm sure there are some.

xx
