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

[yazzy]

Anti and the other girls still waiting lets keep this thread lively...it'll help pass the time chatting to you all whilst we await our babies arrivals

Try not to worry about bubs not being engaged at your appointment, i've heard sometimes they only engage during labour.

My cramps eased off a bit this afternoon so I had a sleep and woke up to 3 or 4 in close succession and also needing the toilet...I have a feeling this little one may arrive in the next day or two!

 

[anti]

I totally agree!! Need to pass the time and try not think about when this baby will arrive!!

Yazzy really hope your little one makes an appearance soon!! So excited to find out what all these yellow bumps are! I still have no idea what my one might be. Have you chosen any names yet?? We don't even have a short list!

 

[yazzy]

Thanks Anti, I just phoned the labour ward to check all is ok for me to wait it out and the midwife was lovely. Basically if my waters break or once my contractions get to every 5 minutes then to phone again and head in or if I have any concerns etc.

I know it is really exciting to see what the yellow bumps will become...I cannot wait to find out! My mum keeps saying 'she' if a little boy pops out she's going to be shocked lol.

Yes we have a definite girls name...Lola Mae and so far our boys name is Stanley Thomas. Are there any names that you quite like for your LO?

Got midwife again tomorrow, but I am getting painful by last few days and lots of low pressure my girli bits feel so swollen and piles arrived- wonderful!!

 

[anti]

Sharon sorry about the piles!

Waves hope Hannah is doing well and letting you get some rest!!

Yazzy I really hope something happens for you real soon. Try get some rest incase this is it!! So exciting! And nice that you have names picked out. We haven't really talked about names or anything. We kinda had a look one night but didn't get far. I like Riley for a boy but that's as far as we got. Haha. We really should work on that!!

I still don't have any niggles at all!!! I've been walking the dogs, scrubbing the kitchen floor, eating pineapple and all sorts but not even a BH!!! Guess baby will make an appearance when it's ready.

Waves hope Hannah is doing well and letting you get some rest!!

Thanks! She's doing pretty good. Jaundice is gone, gaining weight, eating A LOT. I forgot how much they eat in the first few weeks. Gave her her first bath last night and she hated it. She doesn't sleep all that often but hopefully that changes sometime soon haha.

waves - sounds like Hannah is doing fab!

my dad is having an operation on Wednesday, so i'd like junior to hang on til Thurs or Fri to arrive now! I am having loads of really intense BHs - a couple of times they've made me wonder if it's a start but it seems not.....

Yes I did have my little boy on Cinco de Mayo after a crazy 10 hour labor and he basically shot out of me in the end, gave me a nasty tear and I am barely peeing as it hurts so badly my birth story is in my pregnancy journal here:

[rjsmam]

aw Kendra Jackson is such a cutie pie - congratulations!!!!!!! thank you for sharing! sorry about the tear, that sounds rubbish, i hope it eases & heals really soon so you can enjoy your little boy.

urgh my acid indigestion/heartburn is at its worst - it had been better for a week or so which i thought meant jnr had dropped into my pelvis - maybe not I guess. midwife tomorrow so will hopefully find out. i went to bed at 11.30, was up at 1.30-2.30am, then up again at 4.30-5am and again at 6.45am with the pain & nausea. i'm guzzling the disgusting peptac stuff the dr gave me but it does nothing apart from make me gag & almost hurl. to top it off - my first official day of mat leave & dh and ds are both sick!

here's hoping you ladies are having a better start to your day!

ah glad things seem to be progressing for a lot of you ladies, I had my hen party yesterday it was a really lovely day at the spa followed by a vintage tea party and baby behaved herself very well - I'm starting to think I'm going to be one of those 40+12 ladies!

 

[yazzy]

Congratulations to Kendra and Bumpin!!!

Oh I hope I am next...I am currently in slow labour and have been since 2/3am Monday morning so over 24 hours now and its painful! Nearly woke OH up last night as the contractions were getting closer together from every 10 to every 5 minutes for a good hour but then they spread out again. Labour ward have said this is pretty normal for a first birth...so I txt my mum this morning and told her she didn't pass on any of her genetics for having babies quickly - her longest labour was 3 1/2 hours!!! So after no sleep yet again I am just relaxing today and waiting this out. I want to meet my baby!!

Water broke, in hospital at 5cm. Epi in, I'm comfy now

 

[anti]

Good luck vaurissa!!

Yazzy I hope things either speed up or ease up for you.

 

[yazzy]

Good luck Vaurissa!!

 

[rjsmam]

oh Vaurissa go you!!!! 5cm - not long!!! best of luck

yazzy - hope things speed up for really soon! how do the determine if it's slow labour - my bh's feel like they might be progressing, but maybe it's just little one heading for the exit!

[yazzy]

Rjsmam I think because the contractions are getting closer together although they sometimes move further apart but they are getting more painful so they class it as slow labour. If BH's hurt this much I don't think i'd survive labour lol! Sounds as though things may be progressing for you aswell!

 

[rjsmam]

hmmm mine are progressing from uncomfortable to painful but not terribly frequent at the moment..... i kinda need jnr to stay put for a couple of days - my son is home from school with diarrhoea & vomiting, my husband is home with an ear infection.. and my dad is in hosp tomorrow to get his gall bladder removed!

hope yours progress & we see the next May babies real soon! wonder how vaurissa is doing too!
