Glad to hear you’re home and baby is doing well playgirl! Awesome you got to leave so quickly. I stayed 3 days and 2 nights with DS, now we don’t have extended insurance so if we want a private room (which I definitely do!!) it’s $250/night. Ugh. Hoping to be able to go home after 1 night this time as it’s just so expensive. Plus we live literally 2 blocks from the hospital.

DH is sick AGAIN. It probably makes me a bad person but I just can’t stand it. I’ve started keeping track of how often he’s sick because he doesn’t believe me when I tell him it’s way more often than the average person. He was sick 9 days in June, 8 days in July, fine in August, 28 days (and counting!!) in September, and now his ‘cold’ has turned into the flu. Honestly I could kill him. He’s locked himself in the bedroom for the past 2 days, I’ve barely seen him and I’ve been taking care of DS alone 24/7. He skulked out of the bedroom an hour ago to take a bath. You know who would love a bath and to lay around and sleep all day? ME.

Ugh, anyways. Just big, uncomfortable and tired from chasing around my son all day. Knowing him this will drag on for at least another week.

Was just thinking about this actually - anyone keeping an eye on their pets? About 2 days before I went into labour with DS my dog would stop once or twice each evening, stand up and stare at me whining. I couldn’t figure out why the heck she was doing it and then I went into labour. Thinking back on it now, isn’t there some hormone produced 48 hours before that hospitals test for? I wonder if pets can pick up on it. Anyways I wonder if she’ll do it again!

Still no baby, waiting to have my waters broken, there are 3 of us waiting and delivery is stupidly busy, I was contracting until 3ish this morning and it stopped, looks like I will be in a while.
Good luck to anyone who is getting induced hopefully will be quicker than me x

Sorry to hear that playgirl. DS had colic, it was awful. Hopefully it’s not that, but if it is there’s an awesome support group on Facebook where you can get good tips on how to help the crying. I used it the first few months and it was a lifesaver xx

His name is going to b in my native language so difficult to pronounce but u can write the nickname my son has given him.. Rio

Saw the midwife again and looks like I might be able to avoid the early induction if my fluids go up. I have to do weekly ultrasounds at the hospital but I most likely wont be giving birth this week. If I do end up needing to be induced they will give me a sweep first to try to let it happen on it's own.

thank u, we changed her bottles to the anti colic ones and so far shes been much better x

I was going to suggest just that hon. We are using tommy tippy anti colic bottles and cow and gate milk. The green one.
My son had bad colic and reflux and we used a medicine called infacole which helped alot. U just give them one droplet b4 each feed. It tastes nice as well so they take to it real easy.

Hopfully the change in bottles have done the trick tho hon. X

Baby Sutton Oakes was born 10-1-19 at 2:33am! 7lbs 3oz 20.5in long.

Started contractions around 5pm by 2am I was 7cm and ready to push by 2:25am! 2 pushes and he was out!

No induction for us!

 

[Suggerhoney]

Hi ladies
Hope ure all ok. Really cant wait to see more of these beautiful babies being born. And more photos of babies already here.
Wud love to keep this thread going so we can all keep In touch.

Tommy is doing really good. And he is still very chilled.
He looks so much like my husband and his laid back attitude. They pull the same faces and its just so funny.

I had such a positive birth experience this time (minus the bleeding)
That me and hubby have definitely decided we are going to try for one more baby. Were going to wait until Tommy is 17 to 18 months b4 we start so theres at least 2 years between them.
I'll be 41 when we start trying which I know is old but I just no if we dont try I will regret it because then my time really will be up.
I hate getting older but I dont feel my age. I feel better now than I did at 23 with my first. As weird as that sounds.

I will leave it in Gods good hands when the time for ttc comes around. I'm thinking of going on the mini pill if I am aloud.
I really dont want any contraceptive that has to be inserted and removed by a medical professional. I just want something I can stop by myself about a month or two b4 ttc.

I think if I was younger than I wud wait a bit longer but being almost 40 time is definitely not on my side.

Anyway enough about me how are we all?
