*** NOVEMBER 2011 BABIES ! *** Chrysanthe-Mums - 39 babies here already!!!

Yeah, when I made cinnamon pancakes the first time DH and I were discussing because I told him I know there are some health benefits but I am not sure what they are. So I looked them up and one of the main drawbacks is that doctors use cinnamon to start and regulate contractions. Since I am already started he doesn't want me to take any chances.
 
That's interesting about the cinnamon.

I've had two really powerful "stop dead in your tracks and feels like your innards are being ripped out" Braxton Hicks today. First time I had to hold onto my son in the car park and breathe through it. The second time was in the kitchen and OH rubbed my back until it passed. I don't think WB is going to wait to be induced!

Wow 8 babies that's incredible. Have we had any boys yet or are they all girls? I hoping to be out of hospital tomorrow and back at home recovering. I'm very sore today but I prob it doesn't help iv fed constantly since she was born, I gave her a formula bottle earlier just incase she wasn't getting any actual goodness and just nossling instead. The paediatricians recommended for me too do this as her temperature was decreasing slightly. Ever since that feed she's been a perfect baby and have managed two hours sleep, I know it doesn't sound much but I literally have had her attached all day so couldn't sleep. I feel human again lol
I can't believe all the angel babies this makes me really sad too read, rip little ones.
Great news for those having contractions or any signs I can't wait too see who's next :-)
And oh yer iv lost a stone in weight already so I'm back too my pre pregnancy weight and hopefully will lose more as I'm still very swollen and I'm still only producing colostrum and little bits of milk :-)
Doctors aren't concerned with my losing a stone apparently completely normal with such a small baby xxxx
 
just back from hospital. i am having contractions as sheryl said from being dehydrated. the gave me lots of water they slowed down but didnt stop. they had me wake around for an hour to see if i would diliate but have not dialated but am soft!! they gave me some medicine to help make me comfy and it could take them away all together if it doesnt help at all means im more than likely in labor so only time will tell... im going to try and get some rest now but as of right now im still contracting!!
 
Only an IV of fluids stopped mine. Drinking water made them worse.
 
sorry about the disappointing/frustrating appointments mrsaj and tlh, and sorry you also haven't progressed nyn :hugs:

sheryl - bummer about your hubby's blood results, and yes, it is very sad seeing all those :angel:

wannabemom - yay for finishing work this fri - that's when i finish tto! :happydance:
 
hope the contractions stop for you bbygurl, and that you get rehydrated. So frustrating that the first dr you saw didn't take you seriously :hugs:

pip - happy 36 weeks! Hectic about those 2 really strong bh!

Abi - yay for the weight loss and glad baby is doing well :hugs:
 
:hugs: to Robin and TLH! Hopefully next appointment there will be loads of change! It's the very frustrating bit about pregnancy and women being different.. .some ladies have a closed long cervix and 24 hours later are having a baby and others are dilated and soft for weeks! :grr:

Yeah, we don't get weighed here in the UK... in my first pregnancy I relished that fact and probably didn't pay as much attention as I should have and put on 37lb... this pregnancy I weighed myself weekly (or there abouts) and only put on 20lbs! I've not been that careful either... if I felt like chocolate I'd have it! :rofl:

Abi... :hugs: thinking of you hun! :yipee: for the weight loss already! Best feeling ever is standing on the scales a day or two after having the baby! :rofl: just don't look in the mirror! :rofl: cos even though you weigh less, you still look pregnant... until that uterus has time to contract, which can take 6 weeks!

Happy 36 weeks Pip... I hope WB hangs on in there for at least another week! :hugs:

Bby... hope they are looking after you hun! :flower:

I'm down to 4 days till due date!!! Having loads and loads of niggles which are very frustrating, they give me false hope that something is happening and then nothing does! :dohh:
 
So I had my first sweep last night as they are predicting bubba to be on the large side! :wacko: It didn't hurt anywhere near as much as I thought it would - don't get me wrong, it wasn't nice but I managed to get through it!! Having not had many niggles at all, I was surprised to find that I'm already 50% effaced and dilated 1-2cm and the cervix has moved forwards. Mind you the head is still high apparently so lots of ball bouncing and walking up stairs sideways for me today!!! :happydance:
 
hey.. im still very sore and having contractions and very tired so going to try to get some more sleep!
 
so does everyone have definite contractions when in active labor? last night i was having extremely bad menstrual cramps that wrapped around to my back and was super nauseous and people told me to call the doctor but of course i didnt and im still a little crampy today but not as bad as last night. i just keep looking for contractions and aint seeing them!
 
Hope you're getting some rest Amanda, keep us posted!

And 37 weeks for me today, full term, woo hoo! Any time now baby, I'm ready!
 
tlh, I think once you're in active labor you should have definite contracting, although menstrual cramping could be the start of something...although this is my first so I don't really know!
 
Happy Full Term, Robin!
I think i have felt my first ever contraction about an hour ago. Now Baby is hiccuping :haha:
 
Happy 37 weeks and full term MrsAJ!!! :wohoo:

tlh - the cramps you're feeling could very well be the start of things!

hope you get some rest bbygurl!
 
every time i feel anything my mom is like go to the hospital i dont think she understands babies dont just pop out at the first weird movement. she hasnt been in labor in 25 years with my older sister i was a planned csection so she has no idea what shes talking about but she tries!!
