[MumtoJ]

Congrats to all the new mummies great pics and names.

L82 - me too - any symptoms yet? Hopefully you don't have too many people asking "here yet?" I know Im getting fed up of that question ...

 

[L82]

Getting loads of BH but hasn't turned into anything... i have the midwife in an hour for a sweep, hopefully she will let me know the SOMETHING is happening and the sweep will get things going..

I think i must get asked about 3 times a day if i have had the baby or if anything is heppening... must admit it is starting to get on my nerves!!!

Well i hope things start soon for you too... as much as i dont want to be induced maybe ill get a rough day for that too today... im getting to a point where i dont care how it starts ... i am just ready to get her out lol!!

 

[MumtoJ]

Know what you mean - I have consultant & MW apps on Monday one to talk about what happens if baby doesn't make an appearance on his own (VBAC) they may not be willing to induce ... and MW if afternoon to do a sweep, hoping that he comes on his own before then, let me know how the sweep goes, It's not something I'm relishing the thought of ...

2nd time- she is gorgeous! good job momma!

[L82]

Well just finished at the midwife... things have progressed from last week..so now back on the waiting game ... if she doesn't come on her own i will be on the list to be induced any time from saturday, so i will just have to wait for the call.

So Mum2J will they make you have another c-section if you go too far over??

 

[MumtoJ]

Yeah looks that way - will discuss on Monday with consultant if nothings happened by then.

Hope things happen for you after your MW app

well my dr appt was pretty much the same as the last 2 weeks. outside opening of cervix is dilating but probably still between 1-2cm, inside opening is still closed. baby is low but not super low (dr can feel her head but she's not sitting there waiting for the cervical gates to open ) back cramps from past two days have subsided this morning but those and the period cramps are getting things ready--but we aren't having a baby this week.

I didn't really ever expect an early baby--so no HUGE surprise, but I'm getting excited and anxious and don't like playing the waiting game I'm too impatient..DH always says so! This will be a practice in patience for me. Is it bad that I just got out of the doctor's office and I'm already looking forward to next week's appointment? I just want to go in and have her say things are really changing impatient i told you!

Congrats Sara! I don't think anyone will blame you for not updating the front page right now you enjoy your new baby girl. Congrats on your natural birth. I know you were hoping it would go that way. I'm hoping for the same so that's encouraging for me to hear you were able to do it! Many congrats.

Congrats Sara! And anyone else I missed. Sorry I have complete baby brain right now. Just realized I only have 5 more full days until induction! I am trying to get so much done. And with three other kids and 2 dogs it is not easy! I have my last doctors appt tomorrow where we will schedule my induction if everything still looks good! Very excited. I am glad it worked out this way, since it means I now have babysitters planned for all my kids, MIL will be able to be here in time, and hubby has work off already. Just starting to get nervous of his size. I watched A Baby Story this morning and it had a lady on it whose baby was thought to be large like mine. She had him and he was almost 11 lbs. That scares me!
Oh and today I am officially more pregnant than I have ever been. The farthest I went with any of my other kids was 38 weeks.
Hope everyone else is doing good.

Congrats to all the new mummies :happdance:

Mum2J - I hope things start for you soon! and anyone else who is overdue.. sending you lots of labourdust!!

Nothing to report here, lots of strong BH's and back ache but no signs of Labour starting.. still have a couple of week left yet though so I really should be a little more patient!

 

[2nd time]

for all thoses that want to get started seriously go for a long walk to a park and play on the swings it worked for me i sware

 

[membas#1]

anyone else tired of sitting in doctor's office? i haven't even had to go that much but my OB has run late the last 2 times because she's been off delivering babies (which is a great reason to be running late!) but then today I had OB (late again) and we interviewed a pediatrician and she was a little late--not bad...but blah, doctor's office. DH was not impressed with the pediatrician and wants us to find a Naturopath doctor to have as a pediatrician vs. traditionally trained pediatrician...so now onto that hunt.

 

[MumtoJ]

Brai - good luck for tomorrows appointment.

2nd Time - don't think I can do much more walking I think I have walked for about 6 hours in the last 2 days, have been putting both clarey sage and lavendar in the bath and clarey sage in my bio oil on my tummy. Lots of bouncing and I'm having plenty of contractions but they just are not progressing, been down to 6 mins for a couple of hours but then they fade away.

Membas sorry your spending so much time waiting on drs for app - I've been lucky this time around and have only really had waits when I've had hospital consultant appointments but then hang around for a couple of hours each time. Good luck with the pediatrician search

 

[squat18_02]

Just thought I would pop in and update! Jase Hunter was born February 28 at 1:50 pm via c-section and weighed 6lbs 6oz! Everyone is doing well!

Hi All!!!

So quick birth story. The cramps were getting pretty bad at 7pm sunday night - and my IL`s came over to investigate. They timed them for me and they were 4 mins apart. So we headed to the hospital and arrived around 9pm. I was 5 cm dilated. I had to walk for bit as there were no labour nurses so i had to wait in triage. I ended up labouring till 9cm in triage as there were no nurses available. The triage nurse ended up being my nurse LOL. From 9-10 cm took FOREVER. At 2am the nurse said that the baby would be here very soon! Then my water broke about 2:30 in the middle of me trying NOT to push LOL... And it slammed her down into my pelvis pretty hard. They tried to get an IV started in case they needed to `help`... but they couldn`t get a vein. Finally i got to the `ring of fire` and they told me to hold it there while they got the dr! Dr came and i pushed her out. I ended up pushing for about 1.5 hours. Total labour was 12 hours from first cramps to delivery. I was very very tempted to ask for a drugs when i was told i was 6-7cm, but i held out!! It was a great experience.

We are breastfeeding and its taking work but we are getting there!!

Congrats everyone else!!!
