I had my baby!!!!

She's a girl! Clementine Adela weighs 7lbs 9oz . Not sure on length yet.
Labor was just about 24 hours. Had a shot of morphine which did NOTHING! Had to get an episiotomy. Pics to follow, she is in the warmer, there was meconium and she was having a bit of trouble breathing but is a-ok! Bringing her to me in a few minutes!!

CONGRATS ROMA!!! Yay for a little girl!!! BEAUTIFUL NAME!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Team Pink!!!!! Congrats Roma and enjoy those lovely newborn snuggles, I'm so happy for you!! The first April rainbow of the group, yay!!!

So exciting!!! Babies are starting to arrive Woohooo!!! Thinking of you still Bailey and hope all is going well. xxx

Thanks for the update, Cheryl!

Kat~ Very happy for all your good news!!

6 more sleeps until this little rainbow makes an appearance, wow, I have less than a week to enjoy my last baby belly. :S

Good luck sweetie. Can't wait to find out what you're having!!!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

She has hair like you wouldn't believe! I have never seen so much hair on a baby! Clementine is half Filipino and looks just like her Daddy

She is latching on great and feeds like a champ thus far!

Oh Roma, absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Hey ladies,

Anyone heard more from Bailey?

There has been no posts etc from her, and I know she has just had Millie and probably hasn't had the time, or energy to even think about posting... But I had a feeling she may come on...

Hope she is doing well! I'm just jealous as we were due the same day (Friday 5th) and my little rainbow is showing no signs yet of coming out!

Xxxx

Hang in there. You're next Jersey!!!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Hi ladies!!

Hope you are all well!!

Roma - congratulations on your beautiful daughter!! She has loads of hair doesn't she? So does my Millie!! What date was she born then?

Rainkat - yay on baby being head down!!! Stay there baby!! How are you feeling?

MG - and yay for your baby being head down too!! Can't wait to start seeing the rest of these babies arrive!! How's it all coming along?

Pink - 6 more sleeps yay!!! Eeeek!!! Can't wait to see what team!!

Mighty mom - how's Colton doing? Hope you are well!!

Jersey - any signs of labour yet hun?

Cheryl - I hope it all went well this morning and you will be meeting Leo tomorrow!!

AFM - I gave birth to Emilia Alice-Anne at 4.13pm on her due date by emergency c section after a long labour! She weighed 7lb 6oz and has thick dark hair, and looks just like her daddy! I will fill you all in once I get home but crossing my fingers I can go home today!

Yay, yay, ya, i'm SO excited for you!!!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Hey ladies,

Hope you are well and those little ones are hopefully starting to get ready to arrive!!

Mighty mom - sorry you are in pain hun, I hope it is just for the day and not for now until Colton is born.

Pink - 2 more sleeps yay!!! Its so amazing to think back to when we all started in this group and now our rainbows are all arriving!!

Rainkat - your blessing sounded lovely!! Hope you are well

MG - how are you today? Hoping everything is looking good for you!!

Jersey - sorry you have gone over hun, must be so frustrating. Have they discussed induction with you? And did you say that you have or are having a sweep?

Mg I think you asked about someones c section on 7th April, maybe you were thinking of Cheryl's which was due today.

Here's a pic of Millie;

Millie is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[baileybubs]

Thanks ttc, I'm really glad to be home with her now too. Hope you are ok xxxx

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Thanks ttc, I'm really glad to be home with her now too. Hope you are ok xxxx

I'm hanging in there...

 

[rainkat]

Bailey she is absolutely precious! How is she eating?

MG I think I'm with you for at least another week. Maybe longer. I'm feeling no signs.

Cheryl how frustrating to have a date in mind and have plans change. I was surprised they had booked you for a c-section though. It seems like all of our babies have gotten themselves turned right way around. Is anyone still breech? Funny how so many of them were so late to turn.

Thinking of you TTC

AFM Everything looked great at my ultrasound today. Baby is head down and according to their measurements weighs around 7lb 8oz. My daughter was born the equivalent of 2 days ago and weighed 8lb 4oz. It's nice to know this one might be a little smaller. Her head is measuring 41+weeks though

At the end of the US the tech switched the screen over to 4D. I hadn't seen that before; how amazing!! She was playing with her cord and even tried to put it into her mouth.

 

[Pinkorblue11]

Thank you, Ttc and sending positive vibes your way always.

Kat~ Awww, she has such adorable cheeks! Yay for a great ultrasound!!

So much for not feeling anything, cramps/contractions came back this afternoon, also had mucus plug loss/bloody show for the second time this morning. I guess it's something in the air around noon lol.

 

[rainkat]

Sounds promising Pink

 

[MightyMom]

Bailey: She is ADORABLE! And so much hair! Love those locks! Why did you need an emergency c-section?

Cheryl: Head down is great! I hope the sweep works for you. Your DH is too funny! Baby should listen to Daddy!

Pink: OMG, so close now!!

Jersey: You're up! Haven't seen you today, are you at the hospital??

 

[CherylC3]

Rain great scan pic, I kno it's good all our babies are getting ready to make an appearance

Pink tht is sounding promising I've been crampy since all my ball bouncing yest lol..x

Mighty aw I kno my hubby is hilarious.x

 

[baileybubs]

Rainkat - awww thats so cute that she was playing with her cord!! So sweet!

Pink - let us know if those cramps turn into anything hun

MG - how are you today?

Mighty mom - thank you, she does have so much hair, I was so surprised!! Plus she's so dark which I didnt expect, even though me and df both have brown hair but mines dyed that dark lol!!!
I ended up having a c section coz the last few hours Millie kept having periods of reduced heartrate, then they said I was fully dilated so was pushing for 40 mins and her heartrate dropped dramatically, they were going to use forceps but when they examined again the position of her head they said there was a rim around my cervix (not sure what this means really) but couldnt use instruments because of it so thought it was better to just get her out asap.
It was weird because she had gotten quite far and so they then had to yank her back the other way when they opened me up!

Bailey: She is ADORABLE! And so much hair! Love those locks! Why did you need an emergency c-section?

Cheryl: Head down is great! I hope the sweep works for you. Your DH is too funny! Baby should listen to Daddy!

Pink: OMG, so close now!!

Jersey: You're up! Haven't seen you today, are you at the hospital??

Hey ladies,

Bailey - Millie is absolutely stunning! What a gorgeous girl you have!
The c section sounds unfortunate, but at last they did what was best for you and Millie!

Cheryl - the waiting is such a pain, but don't worry you will have your baby boy when he is ready! He just decided to get his head down at the last minute! Xx hang in there!

Mightymom - no not n the hospital yet, but will be on Monday if nothing has happened by then!

Midwife appointment today at an annoying 40+5 ... Had some stronger and more frequent Braxton hicks yesterday and today, with a few cramps and pressure thrown in.. But still no mucus plug or anything else.
Midwife measured, listened to heartbeat, everything is fine.. I have to call on Sunday and let them know if I want to go in and be induced on Monday, when I will be 41+3.
Obviously this is only if nothing happens between now and then!

I have 2 options, I can go in and get scanned/checked to see if amount of amniotic fluid etc is still ok, and check baby is ok etc then go home and wait another 2 days... OR .. I can get induced, in the form of a tablet put up there, and if nothing starts they administer 2 more tablets 5/6 hours later .. And once the labour starts they will then have to break my waters if they haven't broken..

I really want this bubba to come naturally, and was quite upset at the though of being induced, but it's all about what's best for baby now..
Keep your fingers crossed for natural labour for me girls... I was looking forward to a water birth, but that may not happen either!

[baileybubs]

Aw I hope your bubba comes naturally for you jersey. I found it so disappointing being wired up to a drip and loads of monitors instead of being able to be active, but it was what was best to get Millie here ok so I'm ok with it now. I'd do it all again exactly the same if I had to for her. But got my fingers crossed your LO comes naturally, come on little baba!!
