@Catmumof4 no way she’s here already! That didn’t seem to take too long! Must’ve got in first thing?? Hope you are feeling ok! She looks gorgeous and healthy. I guessed 7-14 so was just 3oz high!! She’s perfect. So jealous haha.

@Penguin20 i was going to say normally they do say your 2nd labour will half. But obviously not the case for everyone as @topazicatzbet mentioned. But it was true for me, went from 4 hrs with my first, to 90 mins with my 2nd. So I would say get on to the hospital as soon as you feel anything if you were 6hrs last time! Or get close to the hospital. That’s my plan, but I won’t be going in to maternity until I feel confident it’s established labour to minimize interventions. I also have really sporadic contractions, like I never got the 5-2-1 rule or whatever it is… it’s just like, I know it’s soon because the intensity of them just gets unbearable but they could still be short and sporadic. Hence why my middle one was born in the car XD

thanks for the advice, I think I’m definitely just going straight to the hospital lol, can’t believe you had your middle in a car.. what a story
 
Just had midwife appointment, she don't think I will go much further, baby's head is 3/5 engaged x
 
@playgirl666 have you got your induction date?? I can’t remember!!!! Exciting baby is engaged. Was everything else ok?

@Penguin20 i think it’s so so crazy! How did we already get to this point! 2 babies already!!!!
 
@Catmumof4 congrats!! She is truly beautiful. I hope that you and her are settling in well. What a precious face! It's so exciting seeing the first babies be born.

@playgirl666 how exciting!! You are getting really close now. Yay!

@Penguin20 that happens to me all of the time! I constantly in the same week have people say "oh still awhile to go!" and "almost there!". I also constantly get "oh my gosh you're so tiny for 30 weeks!" and "wow! you look like you are about to pop!" It's so funny

@Mummy2Corban so close now!! You must be getting so excited to meet baby boy. Once I get past 37 weeks I always feel like it could be any day.

@Suggerhoney How is Harley doing? Are you adjusting well to having him home?

@angie90 hi it's good to see you! Hope you are doing well?

@Reiko_ctu It's so tough decided about having one more. After we had 3 we said we were done - we have a 4 bedroom house, our youngest was 4 and out of diapers about to start preschool, etc - but that urge to have just one more wouldn't go away and I got DH to cave for a 4th, haha! I think you are right. It's hard to ever let go of the notion of not having a tiny squishy newborn. It's also hard to fathom the idea of another difficult pregnancy and costs definitely do add up especially as they get older.

@topazicatzbet lovely bump pic! You are looking great :) almost 35 weeks now! You are starting to get close too!

I can't believe how many of you are only weeks away from meeting your babies. . I'm so excited for everyone!


As for me, nothing is new here really. I'm 30+2 today and uncomfortable but who isn't, haha? My next growth scan and BPP for the baby is on September 29 when I'll be 32 weeks so I really don't have much to report until then. My birthday is next week but I don't really have anything planned - maybe I'll do take out dinner and some cake with the kids.

Went on a hike over this weekend and got a nice family pic of me, DH, and the kids so thought I would share!

@sil what a lovely picture! Hopefully all goes well with your next appointments. Let us know how they go! A birthday meal sounds lovely! It’s my favourite not to cook! Hahaha!

I’m very excited to meet baby boy! I’m even feeling fairly good about labour. Usually by this point I’m a nervous wreck for some unknown reason. I feel as though I’ll make my due date as I’ve never been early and I don’t think this baby is coming soon.
 
@sil
Thank you for asking hon.
He is doing great. He's very chilled and such a good baby.
Can't believe he's almost 2 weeks old already it's going so fast and I just want it to slow down.
I was so worried about not being able to cope but now he's here it feels like he's always been here.
We had him weighed and he's still under his birth weight so he is still under the care of the midwifes. I've been discharged. We have to go back to get him weighed again in Tuesday and if he is at his birth weight then he can be discharged too.
He is 6lb 14oz now so just need a few more oz to go on to get him to 7lb 3oz (his birth weight)

When our 2 year old was newborn it was so so hard because he had bad Reflux and Colic and it really was so hard. With him I just wanted the newborn bit over because I was so emotionally and physically drained. He wud just cry and cry and cry for hours.

But Harley is really layed back and feeds nicely and isn't fussy.
Hes becoming more and more alert now and when he's awake he loves looking around and just stairs at you. It's adorable.

@Suggerhoney sounds like you’ve got a firm plan. I hope all works out for you and you get your last bubba. I wish we could have more but I know it’s right for us to be done… I’m hoping I’ll have the done feeling when this little fella arrives. I think I’ll always want more but hey ho!

I think @playgirl666 will be before me??? I still think this baby is an October baby plus it’s DH birthday 12th October so I’m thinking the baby could be his present…. Hehehe

Thank you hon. I really hope so.
 
@Mummy2Corban I downloaded Full Term contraction app today and found it very good. In hospital at the minute with mild contractions. Dont particularly feel like I need to be here but midwives wanted me to come up to be on the safe side. Waiting for obstetrician to check cervix
 
@sadeyedlady i shall have a look at that one then. I guess it’s better to get checked out than not. Keep us updated on what they say. Hope everything is ok
 
Hope all is ok @sadeyedlady and hope the contractions stop and baby stays put a few more weeks.
 
@Mummy2Corban
I downloaded a app but didn't use it. I was in so much agony because of the hyper stimulation that I cudnt even use my phone.
And they had to give me a epidural so by the time the hyper stimulation settled and contractions started I cudnt feel anything.
Not untill I started feeling pain down there.

If we are blessed again I really dont want that pessery. That was horrible.
I wud rather hold out a few more days so they can break waters.
Mind u I had the pessery with DS2 And with Tommy and it was fine.
It Was just this time it caused hyper stimulation.
The back pain was absolutely horrendous.
I was so looking forward to the gas and air and I didn't even get to enjoy it because I was in to much pain.
Wudnt wish that on my worst enemy.

Funny tho after a week or so u forget most of it and how painful it was and then start barking on about having one more hahahaha.

I did love being pregnant tho. The only thing I didn't like was the acid reflux.
But I love having a bump.

I've never suffered with bad sickness in any of my pregnancies. Maybe it I wud of had that i wudnt want anymore.

The only thing that I hated was the reflux.
It was so bad when I was labour to I kept throwing up.
Never normally like that in labour.
 
Thanks everyone. Cervix closed and exactly the way it should be. Keeping me in overnight just for observations and hopefully home in the morning
 
Hi all soŕry iv been mia what a rollercoaster!! I'm done so so glad I got sterilised! Sophia was born at 1.11 (that's easy to remember). It was awful. Really scary we very nearly lost her :sad2: was the worst minutes of my life?, pretty sure she said 20 mins but could have been longer. I still have the spd and it is making my life absolute hell with the section pain. I will write a full story soon but I'm falling asleep while typing this so gonna leave some bab y spam lol xxx
 
@Catmumof4 stress absolutely gorgeous. Take your time, we aren’t going anywhere yet.

@sadeyedlady i hope they settle down for you. I been having serious contractions 5 minutes apart or less nearly everyday, they last about an hour or 2. Not really fun at all, haven’t bothered going to get checked yet, think I will ask for a check this coming week.
