*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

Congrats to all the new moms and good luck with a all the pregos!
I'm about 3 weeks pp and still bleeding! Ugh baby is also getting gassy and fussy more then normal. I'm nursing so I hope he doesn't have any allergies
 
Stacey that sounds scary - glad you are both okay! I cried for a bit post baby as well as did a few people that I know personally, so yes it's normal! :)
 
Well I'm now a week overdue :( Woke up this morning at 5.30 with really bad backache and a few contractions but they have died off again. So sick of all the stop and starting :(

I've got a second sweep booked on Wednesday afternoon with the midwife and the induction booked for Saturday but really want to go into labour myself. The induction scares me :(

Aww what lovely profile pic of your two kids :)

Don't worry about the bleeding-I bled the whole 6 weeks with my other two, but this baby it has been lighter. Think each baby recovery is different too. Hope it stops soon :flower:
 
Kiki-sending labour dust your way. I know it's so frustrating (been overdue 3x myself) but it will happen. I remember each baby I have had, I went to bed feeling like it was never ever going to happen, then I would wake up in labour. No signs at all beforehand.
 
:hugs: Stacey for feeling emotional and your emergency c-section. Sounds like you've had an overwhelming few days-being emotional is totally normal (especially if you've had a tough time with the birth) but make sure you talk to people around you about how your feeling.

I definitely got the third day blues with dd2...I was in floods of tears over everything.

Hope your feeling better :flower:
 
I had the baby blues so bad that nurse offered to take her so i could be alone. They were afraid i was going to hurt her. I could never =)
 
After nearly 2 days of non stop contractions I'm finality in the hospital! I went in feeling the worst contractions and pressure and was 5 cm! I decided to get an epidural because holy cow I had no idea that it would hurt so bad!

Now I'm just sitting all happy and doped up waiting to progress more. After I got the epidural all in place I was checked again and still only 5 cm but my waters were bulging. I'll update more later!
 
Mushy! Yay!! 5cm is great news :) keep us posted and good luck, you'll have your baby soon by the sounds of things!
 
:coffee: Induction scheduled for Wednesday. Despite occasional prelabor contractions and loads of BH my cervix has yet to dilate. At least it's soft.
 
Nikko-good luck for Wednesday. Baby could very well come before that :flower:
 
Yay! Mushy good luck with labor

Wow Stacey that's horrible. Glad you and baby are both safe.

I was very emotions the day I came home from the hospital, dh was too actually. There something horrifyingly symbolic about just the thought of having a human being that you and your husband created now in your arms. I cried because I forgot to put a garbage bag in the trash can before I left for the hospital lol

Were officially 5 days old today and we had a good night last night she totally prefers to sleep all day and be up all night but last night wasn't so bad managed to get a good nights sleep.

It's amazing how much of a jelly belly I know right now tho. I don't know if it's from having a csection or if everyone's is like this. I couple days ago I was still bloated a bit so I didn't notice much but now that the bloat is gone and I've have a bm my belly is def jiggly, anyone else? I have to go to the store tonight so I'll be on the hunt for a belly band for sure.
 
Yay mushy!! He'll be here in no time at all!

What an awful experience Stacey, no wonder your baby blues are so bad. I had a horrible experience with my eldest son and the baby blues were definitely a lot lot worse. Do try and talk to someone about how you feel it can really help.
 
Congratulations to all the new mama's and babies!!!:happydance:

Stacey I've had the baby blues too, I just feel so overwhelmed all the time that I don't know what to think so you're deffo not alone:hugs:

Yay Mushy, he should be here soon!:flower:

Logan is 12 days old now and weighs 9lb 6 1/2oz, he was just under 9lb on Wednesday so I'm a very proud mummy right now :D
We're moving all our stuff to London tomorrow and OH goes back to work on Thursday (he works nights) and I am absolutely bricking it!!!:nope: He's been amazing and i've relied on him so much these past two weeks and I feel so clingy towards him that I don't know how I'm going to cope. Especially at night when it's cold and I'm so tired:cry:
I'm actually dreading it tbh.
 
Vickyandchick-fab weight gain! Even though you feel overwhelmed, your obviously being a good mummy :)

Glad your oh is being such a support. Im sure he will continue to be even when he is back at work-maybe he can keep in touch with texts whilst your up feeding baby so you don't feel alone?
 
Yay! Mushy good luck with labor

I was very emotional as well from the day after Carson was born right up until he was almost 10 days old. I am still emotional from time to time now.

I was/am jelly belly too and also had a c-section. I am not sure if natural births give this as well as I've never had one. I am noticing now (after 3 weeks) my belly is starting to tighten up a bit but I think the rest of the jelly is what I need to work off after my 6 weeks are up - totally not looking forward to that lol.
