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

[Pippin]

I know Sequeena I said the same, I didn't understand either

Just realised our front page is going boy girl boy girl so it's a girl next. Sorry Sequeena you look like you might be the one after next

 

[sequeena]

That's fine by me Pip!! I need some vibes to get Thomas to spin round anyway! Midwife made back to back labour sound horrific compared to 'normal labour'

 

[Pippin]

Aww Seqeena I heard they can turn by themselves when labour starts but lean on your ball on all fours and rock. Try watching tele on all fours too or leaning over the arm of a sofa. Anything where you tummy is facing down. Also check out www.spinningbabies.com it has lots of tips and information about babies positioning and what to do.

Don't panic

Is that the 'normal labour' that is not painful? Cos I'm having one of them ..... Tee hee! ;-)

Thanks for the tips pip!! X

Bahaha well let's hope!!

Got measured for nursing bras today... gone from a 40DD to a 42F

Good boob size Sequeena I haven't been measured yet, left it a bit late but I bought the same size as I had last time on sale so I'm hoping they will be ok. Want to get measured after the birth I think. They're obviously preparing for all that good milk.

Little Griffin, I'm having a birth like yours too, completely pain free To be honest the only pain I suffered last time was in my hips, I could cope with the contractions I felt up until the epidural at 5 cms. Apparently it's quite common to get referred pain and mine went to my hips, I think it might be because I used to ride horses a lot.

Ment to say at my scan they measured her at 3.5kg already which is 7.7lb mw thinks she's more like 9 they do say +/- 25%

Hi all

I know I havent been on here in absolutely ages. But i Had a little girl on 5th July by c section. I just wanted to say a massive thank you to those ladies that really supported me during my mmc and also when we were ttc. I really could not have coped without your support. Also it's been lovely reading about all your babies and those that are due imminently x

 

[sequeena]

I really hope this boob increase means I'll be able to breastfeed! I do worry that I won't be able to for whatever reason...

congratulations tj1980! Bet you're absolutely over the moon!

 

[sequeena]

Oh also we now need a parenting group! I don't want to lose touch with you ladies xxx

Congrats hun, what did you call her?? xxx

 

[Barbiebaby]

Congratulations tj1980. Got any pics? x

 

[tj1980]

We've called her Jasmine. She's so gorgeous. We're loving having her and enjoy every single minute with her. I think cos e had a mc we realise just how lucky we are to have her.

 

[Pippin]

Awww that is a gorgeous name congratulations again and enjoy her. They grow very quickly I warn you so take lots of pictures and treasure every second (even the times you find it hard ). Hope you are healing well and have lots of helping hands around you to make life easier for a while. x

 

[SassyLou]

I hate being overdue and it's only been a day I think it's because all the doctors and midwives said I'd be early. Going out for a hot curry tonight.

How is everyone else?

Awww Pip, hugs for you. It seems to be a theme this overdue lark! Everyone said I would be early but with 6 days to go I feel no different and think I will be joining the club too!!

We went to the dogs last night and I wore heels, my feet were so swollen .... I can't wait to get my feet back!

I might eat a lot of pineapple today, can't do the hot curry, I'm a poof when it comes to spicy food!! Xx

 

[sequeena]

I'm fine, had horrific pain in my right hip early hours of this morning, I couldn't get comfortable at all! All gone now though.

I'll be continuing to bounce on my birthing ball and drink raspeberry leaf tea today. Will also be pumping my boobies with a breast pump as that's meant to help stimulate your body to go into labour...

 

[Aaisrie]

^^ If you're planning to BF you're better not pumping because it'll make your nipples really sore and rarely works to start labour!!

I'm so glad to be home and even with all the night feeds last night I feel really fresh this morning! I can pee without being in pain and feel totally content... this is SUCH a different experience to that with Saraya!! The MW has just left and is really happy with how he's doing, he gets weighed tomorrow and hopefully my milk should come in tonight or tomorrow :]
