[3outnumbered]

so after walking around my local shopping centre all morning and doing all the normal mummy/wife things. the only way to describe how i'm feeling is that i feel like i have been kicked in my bits!!!

its really strange, obviously done to much, walking like a cowboy dont help, maybe gravity has made baby come down some.

Now i know how a bloke feels, when he says his been kicked in the nuts!!

Hi ladies, just checking in

I gave birth Monday at 9:21 after my water broke at 1:45; I was exactly 39 weeks.

I was keeping track of the labor pains to see how far apart they were when I got up to use the bathroom and my water poured out of me! I wasn't even sure if it was contractions that I was having, kinda felt like bathroom pains or period type cramps that came in about six minute increments.

Got to the hospital around 2:25. The nurse checked to see if she was head down, which she thought she was. So around 3:45 they gave me an epidural and my midwife arrived around seven, about 20 minutes after they started pitocin at the hospital. My midwife checked my cervix and it was only dilated to about a 2 and it was very high and she wasn't sure if she was feeling her bum or head.

She called for a scan and sure enough baby was frank breech which I thought she was the whole time anyway!

So the midwife turned to me and said well we are going to have a birthday in about 30 minutes! Prep went really fast for the c section. I was very overwhelmed and scared as I wasn't prepared for surgery to say the least!

Ready or not she was coming, Ainsley Grace arrived to the world at 7lbs 3 ozs, butt first! I will post photos later! I am in love

To all of the ladies who have had their babies - congratulations!!!

To all of those ladies who have had the runs - isn't that a sign that labiur will start soon? Hope so!

Whatever happens, we are all nearly there now!

Really!!! I love dark choc so that will be me popping via the shop on the school run lol

Eurgh! After my sweep yesterday I was convinced labour was starting. Tightenings every 10 -15 mins, pain in back and stomach that was quite noticeable .....then it stopped during the night. Now I am getting period pains intermittently. WIsh it would either start or nothing happen at all! This random pain stopping and starting is driving me mental!!

I have had similar pains and tightenings, after seven years I can't really remember what it feels like at first. It's probably just wishful thinking for me! Have a midwife appointment tomorrow at 38+3 so maybe she can give me hope!

Am just about to start on the dark chocolate (after popping another raspberry leaf capsule!) Come on babies!!!! Us mummies are desperate!!! And we know that you will come when you are ready!

 

[elle4]

Congrats to everyone who has had there babies!

Ive been having random cramps/tightening. My OH Thinks im mad that i get excited..Nothing has come from them.

I shall be sending him to boots tonight to get some clary sage and then to shop for some dark choc (any excuse =] ) I think im destined to be going over my due date..well over Which i wouldnt mind if i wasnt getting the on/off cramping.

 

[tashyluv]

Hi ladies, hope everyone is doing well.

I had a midwife appointment today (2.30pm) she gave me a sweep and I am 1cm dilated. Well it says on the notes half performed sweep, could that be because im only 1cm???

My cervix is long and thick, hopefully it has helped things a long a little anyway xxxx
