PAL Winter Babies 2010/11 - ** Waiting impatiently for our remaining babies! **

Forums New posts
Hey girls! Thought I'd update you all while I have a spare 5 minutes :cloud9: Zoey Ella was born on thursday at 5:30 am weighing 7,4. They decided to induce me as I was having reduced movements. When we got to the hospital they put me on a trace to see how she was doing and her heart rate was a scary 185 bpm and would not go down so off I went to get my waters broken. Things started off really quickly and my whole labour was only 4 hours long. She was back to back which was AGONY but I coped well on just gas and air the whole way through. Were at home now and she's doing great! I've hardly slept since she's been born but I'm sure my body will eventually cave in.

Here's a few piccy's! Sorry if I dont make much sense in what I've just written LOL I'm half asleep. Good luck to all the other PAL ladies! It's the best feeling in the world when you first hold your baby. I have tears in my eyes as I write this because I've been so stressed and worried through the whole pregnancy and to know she's here safe and sound is just amazing, words cannot describe xx

Kaylz she's absolutely stunning xxx

ive been trying to keep busy today - have washed the car, the kitchen floor, the front porch, had sex, bounced on my ball for the length of x factor re-run, hoovered the living room - and will have more sex when i go to bed - please please please let this all work!
 
just tried out breast pump for 5 mins - it hasnt done anything except hurt my boobs n cover me in sticky colostrum! lol
 
Kaylz she is beautiful (as are you!) - congratulations! :cloud9:
 
Congrats Kaylz!!! She is soooo cute!! You must feel amazing. X

Jo - you make me laugh! I was speaking to a midwife the other day at a party (so she was merry and very forthcoming!) and when i said there is nothing proven to induce labour, is there?? Hoping for a tip and she said that anything that gets your tummy tense helps! Hence why some people say spicy food (irritates bowel and therefore tenses tummy) but i did point out that i live off spicy food so it no longer has an effect on me. Cue another merry woman interjecting that she went in to labour after watching a very scary film and that with hindsight she had a tense tummy all the way through cos she was so scared.... worth a shot??? I am CRAP with scary films so think it might be a good one for me! hehehe! When we were waiting for the hurricane to hit i was trying sooooo hard to keep calm because of what they had said!

Been out and about today and the poor island is looking a right state. I still cannot believe that we still have power and water - nobody else does. It is almost making me feel religious cos it makes no sense at all. Our building is surrounded by fallen cables but we remain unaffected. Still, i will not be reaching for the horror films until wendesday or so, i would rather the country had a little time to start getting straight before Spud arrives.

Hope you are all having a good weekend and are feeling well.

MXX
 
Just seen on FB that Jo's waters have gone - looks like the breast pump did the trick after all!! Come on Nudger! :cloud9:

Hey ladies. Am back from France, had a fab weekend in Paris on Friday and wine-tasting (sniffing in my case) in Burgundy on Saturday. Lots of travelling but well worth it for my best friend's 30th.

Am well into my routine of testing blood sugar 4 times a day. Luckily the finger prick doesn't hurt (maybe my pain threshold is better than I think - wishful thinking!). Apart from one completely bonkers reading on Friday morning after breakfast (13.8 - its supposed to be under 7.8!), all my readings have been normal. I am so relieved - I burst into tears when that high one came out and was sure I was heading for insulin injections, a big baby and an early induction. I don't understand why it was so high - I'd only had a bowl of shredded wheat and skimmed milk. Safe to say I won't be having that again - midwife suggested poached egg on toast as an alternative, think I can manage that! One of the guys with us on the weekend is a vet (bear with me), he saw me trembling when I was testing my blood sugar and asked if I was very nervous - which of course I was (I'm still slightly crapping myself about the whole GD thing) and he said I really need to calm down as thats proven to make blood sugars high. I've taken that on board and everything has been a-ok since - despite France not having heard of wholewheat and serving everything with chips.

Have my first growth scan tomorrow afternoon to measure little one's tummy. Hopefully its ok and also weighing within normal limits.

Enough of me.....CONGRATS KAYLZ! What a gorgeous little girl and well done you for a quick gas-and-air labour!

So exciting about Jo - these Winter babies are coming thick and fast now! (hurricanes permitting blondee!) Can't wait to hear news of Nudger's arrival.

Sorry about the pants sleeping h and the puffy ankles Nic (4lbs - impressive! I'll probably start losing weight now given the diet change). :rofl: Kimmy at the apple bobbing.

W2B - I like pickles!

Off to check out the new pics of Chloe...

:hugs: all around.

About 2 hours ago, Jo was at 4cm. She's now had some diamorphine and is attempting to sleep. Hurry up Nudger! I think it's taking a while because the other day baby wasn't engaged... x

Wooohooooo! That's great news!

I had a slightly high reading this morning (0.3 over) - I'm blaming the ketchup I had on my egg on toast - this is sooooooo hard!

Yey for all the babies being viable, that is just great!
Hope Jo is OK, come on nudger! PAL winter babies are coming thick and fast now :D So next in line is Mich, followed by Nic, followed by me?! (of the regular posters I mean) Ohmigod! My baby is due this month :O We'll have to see if he'd rather be a December baby though :haha:
The diet must be so hard Louise, I feel for you. You're doing so well though so don't beat yourself up.
I'm feeling a bit under the weather today, just crappy cold symptoms, bleugh...Got all the housework to do though so that should keep my mind off it. Have a good day girls x
