May 2012 babies - so far 8 yellow, 22 blue, 21 pink!

[bumpin2012]

Zephyr: no need to apologise - most of us are complaining about being 38 weeks with ONE baby... you get to whine twice as much!!! Hang in there, the end is in sight!

Im still waiting. Nothing new happening here. I'm having at least 6 braxton hicks an hour...EVERY HOUR and I have been for about a week now. I feel like my body is desperately trying to go into labour, but just can't. I wish there was something I could do to help things along. Unfortunately, everything I do just gives me more braxton hicks...lol

Your waters could very well be leaking zeph, it doesn't have to be a gush or anything else. Waves is a great example of that. You just know sometimes when its NOT pee, and it could be waters. I have been going through this for over a week now trying to figure out what's coming out of me cause it's not all pee ugh

And no you can complain all you want, 38 weeks is far for someone having twins!

I wish my husband would rub my feet though! He refuses, he has a huge thing with feet

Yes Zeph, I second, third, fourth, whichever it is, everyone's comments. LOL, you have two in there, you are bound to be freakin miserable as all hell. I was completely miserable yesterday with pre labor stuffs like a nasty back ache, and some contractions (nothing that regulared out) all damn day from 3 am to midnight when I went to sleep. I get up this morning... nothing. Omg, this is going to be a show down! LOL

 

[zephyr]

Thanks everyone, I woke up this morning and burst into tears right away. I'm thinking it might be hormones I dunno. The aches and pains certainly don't make me feel like smiling.
I do feel a bit better though cos when I got up I went to the bathroom I had my show!! Not just clumps like it has been, there's heaps of it! I cannot believe with less than 23 hours left till I am scheduled to be at the hospital for induction my body waits until the last minute to start making some progress at last!
Of course it may mean nothing and I may still be induced tomorrow but with my 1st and 2nd I started contracting a few hours later so fingers crossed today is the day! At least I have something to keep me occupied till tomorrow anyways I was dreading today just for the fact I knew it would be painfully slow.

Will post an update later today.

 

[Ems77]

YAY!!! Good to hear it! Glad there was some goodness to your morning... I know this whole preg with twins thing, the pain and all that has to be a BITCH!

 

[zephyr]

It really is, especially with the start and stop contractions I had last week and the week before. Kind of like what you and some others have/had been getting. Its so disappointing to have everything fizzle out.

I have been getting contractions again!! every ten minutes so far, gunna get up and walk round a little bit to see if I can get them moving along. They last about 50 seconds but have only had 4 so far so I guess we will see.....

Got up this morning at 8am to pee and went back to bed. As I was positioning my big belly a felt a gush of water which just continued as I made my way back to the toilet. Went to the hospital and they confirmed my waters had broken. Was only 1cm dilated but told this is it. Baby b had not only flipped breech but had the cord loosely wrapped around his neck so my vaginal delivery was a definite no go.

They prepped me, everything went by so quickly and at 11:45am little Rocco Xabier was born weighing 5lb 8oz and his brother Luca Antonio was next at 11:46am weighing a hefty 7lb 1oz. Both boys are doing great and are in the room with me. Breastfed like champs on their first go! I'm feeling ok but can't keep any liquids down just yet and let me tell you heaving after major surgery ain't fun.

These boys have stolen my heart the minute I heard their little cries. Good luck everyone and have safe deliveries. I'm thinking of you zephyr and hope this is it for you!

Yay! Very cool. Congrats! Wanna know a creepy coincidence? My first daughter was 5-8 and my second daughter 7-1. WooooOOOoooo, twilight zone. LOL

loveacupcake - wow! So fast!! glad to hear everything went well. Congratulations

Those contractions I was having stopped :/ I don't think my body can do it, its just not working like it should or so it feels like it! So I probably wont be having babies today BUT it means that it will be less work for them tomorrow to dilate me since I've already had my show they should just be able to break my waters and start the drip up. I hope so anyways. I hope I'm either already in labour or dilated enough when I go in tomorrow.

20 hours to go till I need to be there!

Wanted to post this for all:

Monica- Go to pregnancy induction massage, if you are ready it will set you over, only thing is that you have to stretch the truth by saying you are at due date, they won't do it else wise! But it does work if indeed your body is ready

Vaurissa- Where at?

Monica- I went to massage envy in puyallup, they are few and far between you will likely have to call around and make sure u specify induction massage vs pregnancy (cause pregnancy massage distinctly avoids the hot spots), if u Google it you can find spots and have hubbie do it, if he is hitting the right spot you will feel the tightness and/or crampy contractions light at first!

ooohhh, Zephyr: the countdown begins!!! Hang in there, the end is sooo close!

Loveacupcake: Congrats hunnie! Thats too bad that things didn't go the way you wanted, but Im sooo happy to hear that both boys have arrived safe and sound! And great weights too!

 

[bumpin2012]

Vaurissa: I've had 2 of those massages, and several trips to the chiropractor trying to get things going, and so far nothing productive. I seriously feel like my body WANTS to go, and my from my exams its sounds like my body is ready to go, but for some reason it just wont happen!

nothing seems to be helping, tried sex, tons of walking, squats, bouncing on the exercise ball, and all I have gotten are these super annoying braxton hicks. They have been non stop for 3 days now. I keep hoping they will progress into something productive, but they persist... Im going to ask my dr about it on tuesday (my due date ) when I see her, as I highly doubt im going to have this baby before then...

 

[cliqmo]

Huge congratulations cupcake

Zephyr hold on to your hat honey, you are sooo nearly there!! Xx

 

[zephyr]

Awh I know! 13 hours left till I need to be at the hospital. I have had clusters of contractions all day but its not looking likely anythign will happen before tomorrow, though I have to say it was a good thing this happened today it helped me get through the day timing contractions etc when I got them. I was worried today would of gone really slow but it didn't and I have packed everything I need, cleaned the last of what needs to be cleaned and now I just need to shower, hop in to bed, try and sleep even though that is going to be soooooooo hard!! and then omg yay!! I'm really excited/happy/sad actually I feel kinda of like a crazy person right now with how mixed I am feeling haha

I may or may not post in the morning beforehand, if not I will try and update when I can, but obviously if I can't I may disappear for a few days till I am home again and if that happens there best be some more babies popping out while I am gone!

Bumpin - It sounds like you are doing everything you can to get things moving in the right direction! I hope it happens for you soon
Same to you Vaurissa!

eeeeek I'm so nervous I don't even know how I am going to be able to sleep haha

 

[KendraNoell]

Well I hope tomorrow goes as smoothly as possible for you, good luck

 

[rjsmam]

[wavescrash]

Popping in quick as I'm awake after a feeding and wanted to say good luck zephyr! glad your time has come so you don't have to be as uncomfortable any longer. I hope you have a great recovery! Look forward to their birth story and pictures!

We're being discharged sometime tomorrow so I'll reply to comments and share our birth story/pictures when I get home!!!

 

[yazzy]

Wooooh girls....I leave the forum for a day to get married and you're all having babies lol!!!

Congratulations to each and every one of you new Mummy's, I can't imagine how you must be feeling...all I know is I can't wait to meet my LO.

Hope you don't mind but wanted to give you an update on my wedding day yesterday......

Church ceremony went perfectly, we had a brass quintet play for us who were amazing. We had NO rain so I was able to walk into the church no problem and we could have all our photo's outside.

Reception went sooo well. The food was great and everyone went back for more and commented how it was really good so we were pleased because its always difficult to get that right. We had a white cake with black flowers and petals and the inside of the cake was made in different colours to match my bridesmaids...tastes delicious! And the band my brother organised for us were amazing and played ALL night...everyone was up dancing. I managed my first dance and 1 more but after that I did have to sit and dance in my chair lol....I think I can be excused when I was only 12 days from my due date.

So all in all we had a perfect day and I am now married to my man LO was wiggling throughout the whole day which was lovely and now I can't wait to get baby out safely. So tomorrow I will buy RLT, pineapple etc and get the dogs out for some long walks lol!

I will post pics as soon as I get some...I left it all to the photographer and friends.
