[heyyady]

I finally have both of my girls home with me they are awesome- we are all in a bit of awe!
My son and his best friend came today, and will be here through tomorrow for my birthday and my Daughter and her best friend are of course in and out- along with the best friends boyfriend- so I have a houseful of teens plus the tiny ones- And I wouldn't have it any other way!

 

[heyyady]

Can someone send me a link to the new parenting thread?

 

[MilosMommy7]

heyy - aww. congrats! & there's a new thread? lol


well ladies, today is my birthday. i'm 22! i know that technically i'm not old. but i feel old. lol. maybe i guess that's what having kids does to ya i know i didnt keep up much in here before, and i've slacked even more since Ava has been born. but i still think of you guys

 

[Wiggler]

Heyy - Yay! So glad your girlies are home with you! Thats fab news Here is a link to the new parenting thread https://www.babyandbump.com/parenting-groups/605673-mayhem-babies-may-2011-mummies-babies.html

Milos - Happy birthday!!!!! Have you got anything nice planned for today?

 

[24/7]

Zzz.... A night of BH's, that until about 3am were very painful right through my stomach and into my back and downwards that came with the sensation of everything inside moving down, but then they began to tail off, and now are back to being noticable but not painful.

I'm guessing the result of a cervix check and sex as oppose to anything leading to labour now - GRRR!! xx

Rmar- Congratulations on your little girl! Hope your homebirth went well

New- Glad Joshua's bully is going. It's horrible having someone like that at school. I was bullied and it was the worst time ever!

24/7- Exciting that you are having contractions even if you can't feel them yet. Hopefully it won't be too long now. Try not to worry about being induced and the labour etc. I know everyone has different pain thresholds etc and each labour is different but it definately wasn't as bad as i thought.

Wiggler- I can't believe you have to live next to those morons! I don't know how you don't batter them when they behave like that. Congrats on your weight loss! Are you doing anything in particular or just eating healthy? I weighed my self yesterday. I was 13 and half stone and i'm now 12! Only got 7lbs to lose and i'm back to my pre preg weight.

I ended up in hospital yesterday with an iron transfusion! My iron has gone down to 7 and i was borderline having to have a blood transfusion. They wanted to keep me in but i refused and said i promised i would go home and not do anything. How can i stay away from my little man? Got to go back today for another lot. Need to get better before DH goes to work!

 

[meow951]

Oh and who's being induced when because i have a fuzzy brain and can't work it out?

I've come to the conclusion that 24/7, molly and new are being induced over the next few days but not sure lol

 

[Wiggler]

I'm not doing anything special, just not eating constantly like before and having smaller portions cos I get full so easily now. My stitches are still quite sore so when they heal up a bit more I'm going to do loads of walking and use my exersize bike again

 

[heyyady]

Wiggler- thanks for the link

Milos- it;s my birthday too! although, i'm a damn sight older than 22!!! I am a whomping 38 today!

 

[new_to_ttc]

Happy birthday ladies Hope you have lovely days!!

Heyy amazing you got both your giels home that must be so nice

Milos hope Ava is doing well, hows Milo taking to his baby sister?

Wiggler, hows Dylan doing now hun?

24 sorry you were kept up again hun! Its all worth it though, every BH gets the uterus ready and ripens the cervix! same Hopeful, yours will be getting you ready for the labour, might feel like they a waste of time but they not!

Meow, me and Molly are being induced on Wednesday (tomorrow omg!! lol), Wud is being induced on Friday, and hopefully 24 will be in natural labour with us this week And Lisa, who is being very quiet which I can only hope is good labour news!

I slept quite well, although been up since just passed 4am, but least I slept prior to that lol Started with BHs and cramps this morning but nothing I havent felt in the weeks before today lol Im term+10days today, and still do not feel like he is going to come before the induction lol Although, I now have a birthing partner for the induction so actually feeling much more relaxed about going in. I have a pre-induction assessment today on the day unit, so doubt i'll be able to get a sweep or anything checked, but least we'll be ready for tomorrow, no delays in and induced lol Going to tiddle up round the house today so I am ready for tomorrow

 

[Clairikins]

Hi guys, I am being induced tomorrow and just wanted to know your thoughts on inductions. My mw is recommending it but all I keep reading are horror stories of it taking three days to get started and then being much more painful than a natural birth increasing the chances of needing pain relief and/or c-section. Any reassurance gratefully received because I would like this baby out now

 

[new_to_ttc]

Im just as worried hun! I was induced by drip with Joshua and it was painful, but not so much I needed an epidural! It was quick, but thats because it was the drip.

I think it only takes days when the cervix isnt ready, hence why they so reluctant to induce ladies too soon. I was really worried about it taking days (Im a single mum with an 8 year old needing care) and my MW said it wont come to that he should be here by end of Wednesday. The biggest downside to induction is the early labour has to be done in hospital so you're not free to distract yourself around your house etc Best advice i have been given is stay as mobile as possible, so many women stay on the bed all day (out of bordem I guess) but it slows everything down so I will be up and about as much as I can. Hopefully if you have anough progression they'll be able to break your waters and avoid the gel thingy that will dramatically speed things up.

What time you in tomorrow hun?

 

[Clairikins]

I have to go in for 8-8.30am. My mw is hopeful I won't need too much intervention and won't get to the drip stage with constant monitoring and bed-bound (I am still hopeful for a water birth). I am not even sure whether they'll let my hubby stay with me for the early stages as we will not be on the labour ward and so visiting times may apply. Think I will give them a call to ask that question so I am prepared for them to send him home. He is already getting excited about going to play golf...

 

[24/7]

One sweep booked for 10.30 on friday.... EEK!!

for nerves for induction girls. xx

 

[new_to_ttc]

Oh 24, it'll all be ok

I know in some areas some ladies cant have their partner stay for the early part of an induction, whenever I have been on the ward, no matter what time, the birthing partner has been with an induced lady so Im hoping my friend can stay with me throughout, as you not allowed off the ward to walk without another adult, and I refuse to sit still on a bed or ball i want to be up and down the stairs and wandering the grounds lol

Right time I wasnt here. Housework all complete, so just my appt then can relax for the afternoon, still cant quite believe this time tomorrow fidgets eviction will have started!! Scary!

 

[24/7]

Hope none of us who need inductions have to be by themselves, its all hard enough already. xx

 

[Wudluvanuva1]

Tis very quiet in here today?
No news from Lisa although i do keep forgetting about the time difference!
Still nothing going on here but did loose some plug this am which i never have done before?

Am coming to terms with the fact that it's probably Friday for me!
