good afternoon everyone,
sorry its been awhile since been on.
our son was born tuesday 15th March @ 1.38am weighing 7lb 6oz.
as my partner kim was 14 days over on sunday she went in to be induced, by 8am the following morning both pesseries hadnt worked and her waters were broke at 1cm dilated.
after a few hours the pain was unbearable and going faint with pain, then had diamorphine and then passed out, had crash team in, very scary. he continued to pass out with the pain and come round.
after several hours she was advised to have an epidural which she didnt want.
they had to resite as the 1st didnt work.
after this she started coming back to normal.
then babies heartrate kept dropping to 70 during contractions.
then an hour later the base line went from 155 to 175 with no variation. they examined her and found the waters were stained with meconium, they tested babies head @ 1:25am and then ran back in room with results, i got rushed to get scrubs on and by 1:38am Lewis was born with a crash c section.
kim then heameraghed i think and was very poorly.
i never imagined any of this would of happened i was so naive and clueless.
but both are very well after the most traumatic labour.
this im sure is very rare and probably coincides with kims health conditions.
our only problem now is her mother who is staying with us.
the reason she was staying was to support us e.i. cooking cleaning and helping when we needed.
i dont know if its me being tired and irratible but she cant cook, i have done most of it, im meant to be looking after my girlfriend and our son. she wont leave us alone. ive done all the housework and look after my partner and son, she just interferes with baby all time, telling kim what to do. telling her how to breastfeed, she never did it right 30 years ago.
so sorry for rant neeeded get it off my chest.

Congratulations honey, sorry to hear the birth was traumatic but glad the outcome was good! I feel for you with the mother in law, I have the same issues with mine but luckily she isn't staying with us but evvery time we see her she has an opinion on everything!! Grrr! Just smile sweetly and ignore her, she'll be gone soon xx

I could handle the wait if I even had a sign of anything happening. Nothing yet though. Not even a twinge.

Lady K it will happen soon!

Congrats to all the new mommies out there

Still waiting myself. Some back ache and period cramping but that's about it right now. On my way to the doctors for a biophysical profile on LO to make sure all is still well with her and placenta (something they do because I'm in my mid 30's and on the cusp of advanced maternal age, and at due date with no sign of labor). We don't want to induce so we will do these tests periodically for next few weeks if we have to before inducing at 42 weeks if we get that far. Hoping we won't go that long!

Part of the profile today is a nice long ultrasound so yay for that!

 

[Lady-K]

Enjoy the scan and happy due date!!

Hey my little boy was born early, so I wasn't sure if I could post his birth in the 'March Mummies' thread ! But someone pm'd me asking to post my little boys birth so here he is-

Gabriel Alexander- Born 26th January 2011, weighing 4lb 1oz.
He came eight weeks early, three days after my waters broke and was double breech. (yeah it hurt- a LOT)
I was able to hold him for 4 minutes after he was born, until he stopped breathing- scariest moment of my life!

We were quite lucky though, this was really the only major problem he has had, he was off CPAP after 14 hours and learned to feed fairly quickly, he spent three weeks in the SCBU.

He is doing fantastic now, gaining weight at a good rate and last Wednesday he weighed 5lb 13oz

Looking forward to seeing all the march mummies in babyclub

(First pic is him a few hours old, and second is a week or two ago)

Still waiting...been having BH Contractions for weeks now some nights for hours very regular and then bam they are gone. Went to L&D on thursday because I thought I was in true labor called dr. when I have contractions coming every 5 minutes for two hours...by the time I got to the hospital I was contracting every three minutes, got monitored for 4 hrs and then sent home, was told I wasnt dilating enough to stay. still here even after full moon...a bit bummed. My mom and brother arrive tomorrow and I am still pregnant Labor Dust to all ready to pop

 

[Lilly12]

I know how you feel Sammy.
Even though I'm not as miserable as you with all the pains and aches and braxton hicks messing with your head , I want to meet my little girl already!

I so hope she won't go too much overdue, I don't want to wait another 3 weeks! Jeeez!

 

[S_a_m_m_y]

I cant even imagine going over 40 weeks, kinda surprised because first was only 1 day over with him and alot smaller

Hi everyone - my daughter, Shuri, was born at 11.34am on March 21st weighing 3354g (7lb6oz) at 38w4d - so over the moon! I suspected something was up when out walking on Sunday - got a bit wet! Went home, watched DVD and after that called and went into the clinic for a check, and much to my surprise my doctor told me I wasn't going anywhere as I had lost some of my AF and was already at 4cm! Stayed in with my husband and got zero sleep due to contractions, but much to my dismay at 4am when checked I was still only at 4/5 . They started me on a drip to induce speed things at around 6am and then she was here by midday! It's all a bit of a painful blur now - did it 100% pain-relief free which was...interesting. She has been a bit sicky overnight, bringing up quite a bit of AF so keeping an eye on her for the moment bit is otherwise really well

Hope the rest of the march mums get to meet their babies before too much longer!

 

[Nixilix]

congrats!! xx

39 weeks today got back earlier from doctor's appointment and 1cm dilated and lost 4lbs since last week, was given an induction date for April 8th suppose to go in April 7th after 6pm for suppository if I haven't gone into labor on my own. FX and lots of labor dust I can go into labor on my own...dont want to be induced if I can help it FX here is bump pic from 38+1 to compare to yesterday's at 38+6......I am hurting so bad.

 

[membas#1]

Sammy--that's one impressive bump. You look great, although I'm sorry you are hurting. I hope LO will come before induction date! I hope that for both of us! I don't have induction date yet but she'll really push hard if we start approaching 42 weeks.

I just had acupuncture again--hopeful it will help. Gonna go run errands and then I think i'll spend some time this afternoon squatting in the garden and clean out my flower beds! It's lovely and sunny out today--although chilly. But perhaps it will help!

Here's my pic from our scan yesterday--chubby cheeked girl.
