PAL Summer 2011 Babies - From 1st tri to MC and back again in one go.

Thank you pip. If stress prevents labour then probably not! I wish I could stop worrying!

I am also a horemonal wreck. I could have killed my husband this morning - then I smashed three plates (by accident that is). Then I took my don to gym tots and lost his shoes there. Lost my purse in the car. Left my keys in my ignition whilst I went shopping. Then snapped two coat hangers in a rage. Left feeling rather fragile!

 

[Pippin]

Awww Em that's your worry coming out. Try to do something to relax you today. Long hot bath, a swim or something. Sounds like a lot of frustration coming out and we all know how you feel. A friends water went today so maybe it's a sign yours will as well Don't over do things today

 

[sequeena]

Emma you poor thing I had an attack of the RAGE last night (and carried onto this morning) but it's nowhere near as bad as you're feeling xx

 

[Emmea12uk]

Thank you xxxx the rage has subsided into determination again today. I am on cup three of rasp leaf tea. Bought some epo to pessery, massaging clarey sage, expressing colostrum, and resting! Will have a warm clarey sage & milk bath later.

You wait - I'll be back on later with a false labour again! I think I believe them when they say they won't come until they are ready.

Mmmmmm.... Maybe I'll eat a jar of red jalapeanoes?!? Lol

 

[Pippin]

Lol Emma, you really are going for broke. Curry got Sam out hot Venison Vinderloo (souds more hot than it was it's yummy and doing it again at 40 weeks ) went into labour that night. Hope something works for you. xxx

My friend gave birth to her baby boy today (39+6) her waters went 3am this morning and he was born 5pm. Soooooo jealous and have gone from not being impatient to wanting her NOW!!!! Plus side is my friend came to see me today and it's made the day go really quickly so that is one more day down.

 

[Emmea12uk]

Awww pip - nothing is getting this girl out I swear! Sweep today or tomorrow.

Totally jealous of everyone and everything right now. Even people who aren't pregnant because nothing fits me any more and I am fed up of blood sugar monitoring!!

I hope everyone feels better than me!!

 

[Pippin]

Rubbish nights sleep so no feel like rubbish. Went back to bed after Sam went to the childminders but only managed to doze off for 40 minutes. Gonna get dressed and go and pick up my new glasses then try and nap again this afternoon. Need more sleep or I'll never have the drive to get this one out. Feel totally demotivated for the birth. Mind you she feels so heavy I reckon she could fall out herself if I dilate enough hope you feel better soon Emma. Xxxxx

Come on girls we need some more babies

Can ask anyone on here a question for those who have breastfed before x I'm struggling to express milk and really getting upset about not being able to anyone have any tips advice etc x

Hope everyone ok x

 

[heva510]

Oh and little man us 2 wks old today and put a grand total if 1 lb 3 oz in x

 

[Emmea12uk]

I hope you got some more rest pip! I am looking forward to a child free day tomorrow.

Can you go to a bf group heva? It is easy to express but you have to be shown really. I found using a pump the best thing but you should do it after a feed to encourage your milk supply by fooling it in to thinking your baby is feeding more than it actually is.

 

[Emmea12uk]

Great weight gain heva!!!

 

[Emmea12uk]

Sorry I am spamming again!!

[heva510]

Hey Heva, I could never express but I had plenty of milk and Sam grew very chunky on it lol . I think I had the wrong pump to be honest (cheap one from ebay should have spent more money) but didn't really pursue it as he wouldn't take a bottle anyway. My Mum used to find it easier by hand when she did it with me and my brother but that didn't work for me either. When he finally took a bottle I just used formula as I felt he was old enough. Might be worth going to a group though, you'll meet new Mum's too at the same time

Good luck hon, when is she coming?

 

[heva510]

Thanks amma and pippin the only way I can express ATM is if I am feeding him on other side but local group rang me last nite to introduce themselves so going to ask there advice x

 

[Emmea12uk]

Sweep wasn't good. I was 2cm but thick, high and posterior so notuch hope there.

Also saw a homeopath today who gave me homeopathic versions of the cohashs - I am so nervous about these but I am desperate not to be induced on monday. So desperate that I also had acupuncture and am using needle patches for pressure points! I am pretty sure I have left no stone unturned now. If this doesn't work then ladies - nothing will make a stubborn baby come!

 

[Pippin]

She still managed to do it though Emma so I have fingers crossed for you, think positive. As for cohashs I have no idea what that is??? can you explain to silly old me? Really hope something happens over the weekend for you, I'll be wafting labour dust your way. xxxx

Eve you are strangely quiet today?? Where are you?

 

[Emmea12uk]

Black and blue cohosh are herbal remedies for induction - seriously potent but controversial. As far as I can tell, the homeopathic stuff is a sugar pill containing traces of the herbs at low dose with the aim of introducing energies to promote labor. Ting and yang and all that. Lol

If anything I am much more relaxed but baby girl is loopy !! I have not felt her move this much in months!! I have even managed a nap tonight!

 

[Emmea12uk]

Where are you eve?!?!?
