Congrats youngni!!

Ashlynn has been throwing up mucus all night! :( my poor little girl. I think she's settled now for a little bit so gonna try get some sleep!!
 
Anti: Gabe was mucousy too. I think it was the main reason he had no interest in the boob. Keep working on getting it out. It gets better, I promise!

At least she's getting it out of her system! It's not fun though, that's for sure. Hannah's still a bit congested to be honest. It drives me crazy because she's such a noisy sleeper/breather and we can't get her cleared up no matter how hard we try.
 
Congrats youngni, gorgeous little girl. I hope all is well.

Anti I hope she settles and gets rid of the mucous.

Can't wait to hear more about all these new babies.
 
YoungNI - Congrats!!! I was just thinking about you as you mentioned you were having contractions - Rosalie is beautiful!!!!

can't wait to hear more of yours & Anti's birth stories when you have time!

I am up with cramps again - no doubt they will tail off again but I couldn't sleep. Gah...

they're coming every 3 or 5minutes - are lasting just short of a minute but are bearable, like the mega intense bh's again.... I can't tell if it's labour or not :wacko: it's 3am & I don't want to turf my ds out of bed unless i absolutely have to so am just going to try see how things pan out! you wouldn't think i'd done this before eh - in my defense my son is 9 :haha:

If they last that close for over an hour, I'd go in to be honest. I was the same way... you wouldn't know I'm not a first-time mom. Even now that Hannah's here. I'm more paranoid than I was with my first. But she's going on 7 so like you, it's been awhile.

I really hope this is it for you! Out of all the ladies who are most active in this thread, I believe you're the last one to go so let's hope your baby decides it's time to show up!

We finally got a Moby wrap and tried it out today. She calmed right down and fell asleep! It felt great to be wearing her and hands-free. Didn't hurt my back at all and felt really natural/comfortable. I can't wait to get more use out of it!
 
thanks Waves - I hope so too!! I'll give it an hour or so like you suggest & take it from there - might try bed again as the last few times i've been up with cramps (but not as bad as these) i've managed to get to get back to sleep!

am going to get everything ready for the morning/school for ds anyway

Congrats anti and youngni!

waves - the moby wrap is a godsend! It is so comfortable. I read you arn't supposed to carry more than one baby in it so looked up on youtube and found out how to wrap two in one and managed to do that once but they are so heavy together! I felt pregnant all over again so have been wearing one at a time and carrying the other in my arms.

Max has gained half a kilo since birth!! Aria is still very slowly gaining :( I spoke to my midwife again today and had her weighed and she has only gained 60 grams since her last weigh in and is still 260 grams less than her birthweight.
I'm so worried about her, she looks so pale and sleeps so much compared to her brother. She is on formula now but even that doesn't seem to be helping her at all!
Midwife said as long as she is gaining weight and lots of wees and poos theres nothign to worry about but if her colour doesn't change any time soon to take her to my gp to get her checked out properly.
Probably nothing, shes probably just one of those sluggish slow to start babies and I am sure she will pick up real soon but I can't help but worry.
I think because her brother is just thriving and hes right there next to her its hard not to make comparisons.
No word on my lump yet, its still there with no changes. Antibiotics will be finished next week and will find out what the next step is on Wednesday.

Hope everyone else and their babies are doing well :D

I am braving it out of the house tonight to do some grocery shopping, my cupboards which are usually way over stocked and looking pretty empty and I couldn't tell you how much take out we have had recently :p Cant wait to get some proper food again
 
Rjsmam keep us updated! Won't be long and we'll have all our babies and have a new baby thread to help each other out. Really good to have you all to chat to on here!

Zephyr I really hope aria picks up soon. I can understand your worry when you have max to compare her with. She might like you say just be a bit slower to really get going and be absolutely fine
 
meh, i'm still here...... things got no worse but not really much better, got v little sleep & am so tired now so going to try sleeping again & will maybe call mw later to see what she says

zephyr - great to hear from you, here's hoping that Aria gains lots of weight really soon, & also hope that lump isn't worrying you too much & clears asap

waves - somehow i've only just seen your pic of the wrap now! too cute & you look great by the way!

Congratulations on all the babies!! Makes me want mine here even more now!
I went in to the hospital to be assessed, and they seemed pretty sure that it wasn't my waters, it was just an obscene amount of discharge. They hooked me up to a trace for an hour to track movements and then sent me home!
Had my 38 week appointment today, which has made me a bit upset and tearful :( After a pretty textbook pregnancy, I've been told that due to having no bloods done, I am now under consultant led care, which means I can kiss my birth plan goodbye :( I might just be being hormonal and emotional, but it seems stupid to me that, I haven't had any bloods done due to a severe needle phobia, which is why I set my heart on a water birth, yet I've now been told that is no longer an option. How the hell am I supposed to get through labour when apart from gas and air, the only pain relief available is through my greatest fear?!?
I'm absolutely gutted, and feel like I've already failed my baby, because I couldn't put my love for it before my fear :(
 
Rjsmam I hope the contractions pick up for you, I had a slow start to labour but it did get more painful as time went on.

I don't want to speak to soon but after feeling a bit down yesterday I feel more normal today. I pushed Lola in her pram to the doctors (its only a 5 min walk) to get her registered and make the Health Visitors aware she has been born. And after feeding her and handing her over to my OH I have just been out on my first little walk with one of my dogs and it was lovely to get out...although my hips/pelvis is a little sore. I am looking forward to taking Lola out to more places :)
 
Congrats on all the May babies!!

I have been having contractions for the last 2 1/2 days. Last night from about 4-9pm they were getting a lot more intense. About 4-5 min apart, but still only lasting about 30-40 seconds long. Spoke to my midwife around 6 and she told me to hold out until they were closer to a minute long. Then around 9pm they just stopped :( So frustrating.

I thought for sure I'd be going in last night.

This morning I've had a few again, but they are very spaced apart and not lasting a full minute. I've been losing tons and tons of mucus plug though.

I am due May 23rd, but I'm hoping she makes her appearance sometime this weekend :)
 
fingers crossed rjsmam and venus!

Nothing to report here - still pregnant lol! MW said today that if she hasnt come by next thurs I will get my first sweep. tbh I'm not too uncomfortable but tired of waiting now - willl have to do plenty of walking this weekend :)
 
I forgot to say Aria vomits heaps has done since birth. Everyone kept telling me it was normal but this was insane amounts of spew, almost whole feeds. Once we switched her to formula it was easier to get an idea of just how much she was vomiting.
Last night when I did the shopping I brought a thickened formula for regurgitation and she has kept all her feeds down since last night!
My midwife said to try another one after using this one for a few days but if the other one I try doesn't work then we will have to stick to this formula for now. I really hope this is just her problem, the vomiting mixed with really passive suckling.

Max spent the night making growling sounds at me, it was pretty funny.

My lump seems to be a tiny bit smaller today, I hope I'm not imagining it! but it does seem less sore so fingers crossed its starting to clear.
