Aw yoyo sounds perfect and glad you got the pool filled in time, I'm jealous of how quick it was. Thought mine (17 hours) I said loads if my waters would just go it'd happen quicker! But they didn't go till final push! Typical lol. X

Congratulations to all those who have had their babies and thank you for sharing your birth stories! Yoyo I'm so pleased you got to have your home birth and it was nice and quick!

Starbrites - your birth story sounds really scary but so glad all is well now.

To all those still waiting I hope it happens for you soon.

In terms of weight loss, I still have a stone to lose after 2 weeks and my belly still feels huge - I'm hoping it won't take too long!

Still here getting seriously annoyed with all the 'have you had that baby yet' comments! Probably me just being fed up and uncomfortable though!

Lost some more plug this morning though so fingers crossed something is happening :/

 

[ljo1984]

I weighed myself day after and had lost a stone (I put on about 2) but not been back on since. Hopefully bf and running round after 3 now will get rid of it quickly and my stomachs gone down loads really quick which I'm surprised about. X

I gained 37 lbs and only have 10 left to lose! Been so busy, my parents and grandparents spent the last week here helping us settle into the new apartment.

That's great that they were able to help you settle in. How's the new place and new baby combo going?

Charmedkirsty that is so lovely of him!

Annabelle is two days old now. She is so big! Her nb clothing barely fits. I look at her and am amazed that I managed to push her out. I'm glad I didn't go too much longer, she probably would of hit 10lbs eeek.

Feeding is going really well, my milk is in so she is sleeping longer now.
I managed to get a 5 hour sleep this morning only waking once during that time to feed her.

Talk about an adjustment! Lol! Can't complain though

I finally got the call on Friday at 5:30 am to come in for my induction after waiting all day Thursday. I was 3 cm from the foley catheter I got on Wednesday when I went in. They broke my water around 8:30 (which took 4 tries and hurt a lot), started syntocinon for contractions around 10 after deciding that I wasn't going to start contraction on my own. Baby's heart rate wasn't liking the contractions so they ended up lowering and then stopping the syntocinon. They were starting to talk about a possible c-section but decided to start syntocinon on a low dose to see if it would help me get to 10 cm (last check I was at 6 cm 2-3 hours before). I was 10 cm shortly after, pushed for over an hour but I spiked a fever so they wanted baby out asap. They decided on either forceps or a c-section. We tried forceps and within 10 minutes at 9:35 pm, Hudson was born weighing 7lbs 3oz at 38+6 weeks. He's doing great, we came home this morning. I'm feeling pretty good but I had an episiotomy so I am a little sore.

It's so much different having a full term and normal size baby.

 

[CharmedKirsty]

Congratulations rbourre. He is a real cutie.

 

[busytulip]

Awww congrats! I'm glad that you were able to avoid a C-section.

 

[Loopy Laura]

Congrats rbourre! Great that you avoided the c section and it must be great to have a full term baby

 

[lauraemily17]
