Ok I haven’t had a catch up at all here but I’ve just had my last appointment with the diabetes team, they are happy with my blood sugars. Staying diet controlled till the end and I’m pretty proud of it. She said the placenta is not a concern unless I’m on insulin so baby should be doing well with my sugars and placental health :)

Hm yeah I don't know I guess. Googled melatonin in pregnancy and there's not enough studies to say it's safe. Maybe try some relaxation techniques before bedtime and don't use screens for an hour before bed? If you can exercise during the day and get fresh air that would help too but I know that's out of the question for me with the way I feel.

Sorry ladies I’m just sliding in here as I was keeping an eye on @playgirl666 congrats!
And congrats to you all not long for some new bundles x
I was on melatonin for a nerve disorder orenoregnancy and was told to come off it but I was on a high dose of 15mg. I’m breastfeeding so haven’t taken since. My neurologist said not to as whilst it’s a natural hormone there weren’t enough studies to be clear about whether it could cause complications or not x
 
@playgirl666 that sounds so awful!! :( but so glad all the trauma is over and you and baby get to go home yay!

@Mummy2Corban wow didn’t expect that news so quick :D congratulations!!!! Hope all is well xxx
 
Awwww ladies these babies are blinking beautiful massive congrats and I hope your resting up xxxx
 
Ahhh I’m sooo desperate to hold Meadow in my arms now. Only a few more weeks for the rest of the October mamas.
 
So I’m awake and can’t sleep! After pains have kicked in and they are awful! Body just aches so I can’t get comfy. Haha! Hudson is currently sleeping on my chest.

so here is what happened!

I woke up yesterday morning just before 6am. As I rolled over I felt a little trickle but I thought it was just wee but seeing as I woke up I thought I might aswell get up to go to the toilet. On getting up I felt more fluid and with a quick dash I got to the bathroom just in time for my waters to go on the bathroom floor. Got on the toilet only to loose more. Shouted for DH what had happened. Had a wash put on a pad and got in bed. DS3 came through so we snuggled and watched tv. I had a few period cramps and small contractions but nothing exciting. We sent the kids to school so MIL only had to deal with DS3. About 8.30 I called the midwife and she said if no contractions by 6pm to go to delivery suite for monitoring and I’d be booked for induction the next day. Or if I started contracting go in or a change in babies movements etc. By 9am I started getting contractions every 5 minutes or so. Lasting from 30 second to nearly 2
Minutes. By 11am I decided to call MLBU to ask to go in but they were short staffed so I had to go to delivery suite. We got onto the ward about 12.30 she put a cannula in just encase I bled. She examined me and I was 3cm. Was a bit gutted I was only 3cm. By about 1pm my contractions started to change and became more frequent. I got in the bed on my knees and she got me gas and air to help slow my breathing. I started feeling pushy so knew he was close. I managed to get his head out and my contractions stopped but she told me to stop pushing as he had his super long cord wrapped around his neck. Next few contractions he was out! He was a bit shocked but with a good rub he was ok. I had the injection to get the placenta out and it came out ok but she gave me a 2nd injection shortly after as I kept having small gushes. She checked me out and I had grazes but no stitches needed. All his checks have been fine and we got out of hospital about 9pm. They were short staffed and very busy. I’ve got to have compression tights and injections for 10 days as I’m over 35 and have had more than 3 babies (a new thing apparently)

so can anyone guess how much he weighed???
 
Oh my gosh
Babies babies babies.
I know I've already heard from you @playgirl666 gosh it all sounds so scary and very similar to what happened with Me when I had dd only I was put to sleep for emergency theater but I lost so much blood. I'm just so happy you and baby are ok and safe now. Love ya girl. I've left u a voice messenger on messenger. Xx

And look who else is here. I haven't been able to get on here it wudnt let me and I just thought I wonder how @Mummy2Corban is doing. Totally wasn't expecting baby.
So happy for you hon. Congratulations. Glad ure home already. The after pains are no joke are they hon. Mine were terrible for about 4 days and then the boobs kicked in. Outch.
Loving the name and so glad he is here.
I'm gonna guess 7lb 7oz?


@ciz

With my 2 year old son I lost the actual whole mukas plug at 34 weeks exactly.
It was gross and like a huge blob of jelly with blood In the center. Looked like a skinny cork.
I also had real contractions (not braxton hicks) from 29 weeks right through the 3rd trimester but I still made it to my 37 week induction and I needed the pessery because my cervix was still long and only a cm dilated.
So don't worry. U can lose it weeks b4 the birth and sometimes it re forms.


So we're all full of colds here. Harely and me are the last to get it.
He's OK but not feeding as much and wanting cuddles and stuff.
It's 2:19am now and I've been up with him all night. He is asleep now but due another feed at 3am. He's not taking as much but he's getting some.
He is a month old now and 8lbs In weight.
He hasn't grown in length much but he's gotten a bit more chubby. He makes me melt.

Here are some photos I took last night and one on Sunday when he turned 4 weeks.

@Reiko_ctu Ds1 &2 are much better but DS3 seems to have it and DH now has it full on now. Yes I am breastfeeding so hopefully that will help him out.

Your so nearly there! Just over a week till your sweep?
 
He's grown out of the preemie things we had but still fits in tiny baby. Never known it to last so long haha. Mind u DD was 5lb 7 and dropped to 4lb something and I think she was in tiny for ages too. She's 8 now so can't remember exactly.

I still need to go out and get some more first size stuff we just haven't had time.
0-3 is absolutely huge so can't see him being in that for ages yet.

Do feel like there's not enough time in the day. I'm definitely enjoying it more this time around. I found this newborn stage so hard with Tommy.
But wasn't his fault he had terrible reflux and colic.
He was so much better by 10 weeks tho and that's when he started going through the night too.
Wonder when Harely will go through the night.
I am looking forward to that and just being able to sleep again. Hoping he will be b4 it starts getting supper cold.


So many more babies will be born in just a matter of a few weeks eeeek.
@angie90 How's u hon u have to be next surly?
Then I think it will be @Reiko_ctu then you @daniyaaq eeeeek
