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

Myturnyet, I may be in your boat soon :rofl: had regular contractions, got down to 7 minutes apart, yesterday for like, 8 hours or something? But they haven't increased or intensified, and I'm pretty sure they slowed overnight and are farther apart now (just got up so haven't been timing or anything) :shrug: what an elusive process!!

Qwk I don't get it. :shrug: Ive also stopped timing, hope it picks up for both of us soon!
 
Just lost my waters in bed about an hour ago!!!! waiting for contractions to start!!! :happydance: am excited, nervous.. aaaaahhh!!!!! :happydance:
 
thanks hun.. still waiting for contractions to really start up!
 
My baby, Liadan Elizabeth (pronounced kind of like leedin), was born November 2nd...in the GAS STATION PARKING LOT!

I sat down for dinner, had one pretty intense contraction but kept eating :) Then had another more than 10 minutes later, but it was painful and long. So I decided to take a shower and see what would happen. In the shower the contractions came on fast so I decided to go to the hospital...this was a half hour after my first contraction. So we got our 2 1/2 year old dressed and in the car (my friend who was supposed to watch her in this event was out of town for this one night because her brother passed away).

We were in the car an hour after the first contraction....the hospital is 30 minutes away. My contractions were about every two minutes in the car and then I got the 'urge' to push, which was more like there was no stopping it. We were already going through red lights and decided to pull over and call the ambulance 20 minutes into the trip. So we pulled into a gas station and I could feel the baby's head descending and my water broke...yes in the front seat :wacko:

At this point a nurse had come out of the store, put my seat back and was trying to get me to take off my pants...in view of several onlookers. I even looked up once and saw a lady looking through my windshield WAVING :dohh:

So the baby was crowning when the ambulance arrived and I had to climb onto a stretcher that way...and with no pants on! First there were two guys holding up 2 towels to block the view and finally someone put a sheet over me.

After about 3 minutes in the ambulance Liadan was born, an hour and 27 minutes after the first contraction.

Wow. Nothing at all like labor with my first baby...and glad I didn't bother to write out a birth plan :) Still crossing my fingers that no spectator cell phone videos come out! ugh

By the way...
Love everyone's pictures!
Congrats TLH!
Nyn, hope to hear news soon, exciting!
 
Omg evale that is crazy. Cant believe people had the nerve to stare.... But huge congrats!!

Wow Evale. What a story! Congratulations. Can't wait to see pics - of the non cell phone YouTube variety!!!

Good luck Nyn. Hope baby gets here soon.

Thats beautiful ! lucky you
 
Mrs AJ…Connor is precious…I will definitely check out your journal birth story…once I get some sleep!!

TLH..congrats!! She's Gorgeous!!

Evale, that story is insane!! pictures please!!

Alybel, sorry to hear about the spinal complication. I hope you are recovering okay. How scary! :hugs: When you get a chance we would love to see Veronica!!

Huggles, Logan is precious!

Joey…my baby Joey says :hi: to little Harry!! :haha:

Nyn…hope the contractions start soon for you!! I had to be induced because my waters broke and 24 hours came and went without natural labor. Luckily, I had a shortish, induction (14 hours) because I was favorable and I bet yours will be a breeze.

Fides, great 40 week bump pic and yay for baby being dropped!!

Qwk…I think Q will be here by your due date if not sooner!

Sheryl, sorry about the irregular contractions. Sounds painful. :hugs:

Thanks for all the well wishes…sorry I have been so absent…my daughter is a big eater and eats almost every hour so I have been having a hard time resting. But its definitely worth it! :cloud9: Also, she is a bit Jaundiced…we are home but having to go to the hospital everyday to get her bilrubin levels checked. :( will definitely write up my birth story and share it…but in the mean time here are some photos of baby Josephine!!

Just born…

Beautiful pics Andrea.

Wowser Fides. You're a very lucky lady. I asked my OH if I would get a new mommy gift and he pointed to my bump and said you've already had it!!!

Hope things start up for you soon Nyn.

Karen, that's exactly what mine said! :dohh:
But I haven't asked him since the birth. He might feel differently now after seeing what I went through. I had a dream he did though.

Fixes, you are super lucky! What a beautiful and special piece of jewelry.
 
ooooooh Nyn - how exciting!!!! :wohoo: Hope things start up naturally for you soon :hugs:

Fides - what a gorgeous bump piccie and such a beautiful jewellery set - your DH has done a fabulous job there! :thumbup:

Evale - what a birth story!!!! Glad you managed to get into the ambulance but poor you with all those onlookers!!! Hope you're all well and will love to see the pics soon. :hug:

Dr Gomps - such gorgeous pictures - Josephine is such a beautiful baby :cloud9: hope you are enjoying every second.

Well today, is my due date and my husbands birthday. No signs of anything here although while I've been typing I've started having cramping pains. Don't hold out much hope though as this baby has a long way to go if he is going to get into my pelvis in the first place!!!! My husband would be made up though if he were to arrive today.

Hope everyone else is having a great weekend and good luck Pip tomorrow for the induction :hugs: and to anyone else who is having anything happen xxx
 
Wow evale that is insane!! So glad you guys made it through, and what a story your LO will have to tell about her birth!

Nyn - ooooh hope the contractions have started by now!!

Fides, you look lovely and so happy! Love the jewelry too :D my mom just gave me a pendant with the November birthstone too for Q, hopefully this will encourage them to come out right? ;)

Congrats again dr. G :D

Good luck tomorrow pip!

And FX for you tish, make sure you have DH make a birthday wish in something for baby to arrive! :rofl:
 
Still nothing :( Have now reached the 12 hour mark... another 12 to go until I have to be induced :(

Midwife came round about 2 hours ago and listened to heartbeat.. all ok :) she dropped off all the homebirth stuff.. the living room is transformed! will be a shame if we have to go to hospital in the end! but whatever's best for LO :)

Andrea, those pics are precious!!! making me want to meet Leia even more!!!

Hugs to you all :hugs:
