**** October Bumpkins 2010 - 3rd Trimester - Born so far 50 Boy's and 48 Girl's! ****

Jules - I know how you feel! Alora moves like crazy now! My belly wiggles all over the place sometimes, it's wild... you can see it moving from across the room. And I love feeling those little feet or knees move across my belly... and her little hands really down low... it's so exciting to think that's a little person in there, and she's going to be born any day now... and I can finally see her on the outside. When you really think about it, the whole process of conception and pregnancy and birth is absolutely amazing!

 

[juless]

It really is! I feel so blessed and lucky that we were able to conceive so quickly and that our little girl is healthy! I appreciate her more and more every time I come on this forum and see how many people struggle with fertility.

 

[MommyKC]

Me too. It took hubby and I ONE try this time. Just ONE, and the pregnancy has been pretty great all the way through. I feel very, very lucky. I cannot imagine how frustrating it would be for some of these women who struggle for so long. My heart definitely goes out to them.

 

[Hann79]

haha good luck Jules! I hope she makes an appearance for you!

I was thinking of trying the nipple stimulation thing today, just for fun... but it seems like a lot of work.
For it to actually cause contractions, you have to massage each nipple for at least 15 minutes, for several hours. That's a bit much for me!
And I've been drinking RLT but only one cup per day. I'm not wild about the stuff, so it's hard for me to drink any more than that.

RLT with a stick of cinnamon in it whilst boiling is much tastier!! xxx

1 WEEK AT THE LATEST!! not that I'm happy about c section. Have had 30ish hours of irregular contractions, seeing midwife today so hopefully she might give me some news!!

Congrats Subaru555 very good weight, hope the birth went well xxx

xxxxxx

I woke up to a message from Caseycakes!
She went in to the hospital last night with contractions and is now 2 and a half and 50% engaged. The contractions are getting worse so hopefully it won't be too long for her! I'll update as soon as she lets me know!

I'm not feeling much of anything myself. Luckily I did sleep better than I usually do - only got up twice for the bathroom! I'm going to drink lots of RLT (which I personally prefer cool, don't like it hot at all..) and go on a nice long walk this morning! Doubt it will do anything but hey, it's worth a try, right?

 

[PreggyEggy]

Not had a chance to read up on thread as on my phone in hospital, but thought I'd let everyone know that I had poppy at 12:18am tofay, after a long and difficult labour. Shes 8 pound 11oz and absolutly beautiful! I'm going to be here awhile though, as I lost a litre of blood, had a retained placenta, and a 3rd degree tear deep in my lady bits! Totally worth it though.

 

[Steffyxx]

CONGRATS PREGGY EGGY !!

good luck kay hope she makes it before unduction and YEY for caseycakes hopefully not too long now how exciting i cant wait until its my turn to say my waters have gone or im in hospital a few months ago i was petrified of labour now i cant bleeding wait lol

Jules i was thinking of doing the same going for a long walk and nice hot bath but its just started pissing it down with rain and ive got no winter clothes that fit me at all so i guess thats out of the question lol good luck xx

 

[juless]

Just got some more news from Caseycakes! She's now now 3 cm and 70% effaced and they're going to start her on some Pitocin, so she'll be having her baby soon! I'm going to start a thread for her updates!

I just got back from my walk and wow! Three times I got a sharp cervix pain and pain/tightening in the bottom of my bump - strong enough to make me stop walking! Crazy! Not reading too much into it, but it must mean at least that something is happening with my cervix!

Too bad you can't go on your walk Steffy! Every time I want to go on one here it's been raining too so I got lucky today!

 

[Hann79]

Ouch PreggyEggy well not so preggy now lol!! Congratulations but blimey that sounds painful, I hope your ok.

I'm back from DAU, I'm in early labour but baby is back to back making contractions really painful but not dilating yet. Could be in this for the very long haul and now really can't wait for my c section... time to try and get a sleep now I think I'm so tired xxx

 

[brunettebimbo]

Hey Girls,

Just a quick one. I'm loving being a Mummy

I will write up a birth story when I have more time, my birth was horrendous but so worth it!

I'm trying breastfeeding at the moment but it's so much harder than I thought it would be!

Can any girls that have their babies also please post in the parenting thread so it's easier for me to update

 

[juless]

Congrats!!! He is gorgeous!!
