Love the pictures of macie!!!

and congrats to Rachel and baby eden!!

girls at work are organising my baby shower....all getting a bit close now!! Have started to think about the birth now...ekk!! we live really close to the hospital sp hoping to stay at home as long as possible....never tried gas and air before but we give it to the kids at work sometimes if we are doing botox injections....they seem to like it - just giggle away!!! would hate to have an epidural as it slows things down and your more likely to tear but i'm not ruling anything out at this stage!!! I think you just have to go with it and see what you need when it comes to it!!!

anyone tried perineal massage - my friend reccommended to me!!

 

[sept10]

We got our boys name....need some help with girls names....any opinions welcome..or suggestions...heres some on the list

Molly
Faye
Orla
Maeve
Naomi
Clodagh
Ellen
Iris
Eliza
Clara
Ciara

lots i know...we can't decide!!!!!

Although gas and air doesnt take the pain away or numb you in any way. It does take the edge off the peak of a contraction when you start puffing on it as soon as you staart to feel a contraction. I guess, for me, rather than take much of the pain away it just makes it a bit fuzzy for a few seconds, and after a couple of breathes off the gas and air you feel normal again. The only side effect i know is dry mouth like cran said and that it can make some women feel nauseous, but if you keep going with the gas and air the nausea will pass. I have a habit of holding my breath during contractions too and forget to breathe, not good!The gas and air helps to keep you focused on a good a steady breathing pattern, as well as being a good chew toy through those very intense contractions and during the pushing stage.
Its a real shame its not offered in the US because its a really cheap and effective form of pain relief during labour, with little to no side effects for mother and baby. It comes on a long line so you can walk around with it in labour to help things progress and its safe to use in the water which is fab for those who want a water birth!

Ugh, I wouldn't be able to do the gas and air-- I'm funny about inhaling things... weird, I know.

Cass, awesome that Macie is gaining weight!

I guess it's hard because she's not next to another newborn, but I don't think Eden looks all that big... I guess she wears it well.

Sarah, I like Molly and Maeve and Ciara (that's with a hard 'c', right?).

All the pink and tutus and girliness makes me want a girl... but I know in the end I'll be happier with a boy. It's a good thing it's not up to me, 'cause I'd never be able to decide!

 

[lilrojo]

Cassie beautiful pics.. and yay for macie gaining weight..

Eden is such a doll.. such cute little chubby cheeks.. Rachel hope your well..

Sarah only a few names to choose frome lol.. Im sure you will settle on something beautiful..

 

[Sun_Flower]

Hello ladies!

can't believe all the lovely messages on here - totally cried when I read you all getting excited for me

Well I'm home from the hospital, very tired as Eden seems to have her day and night switched around (awake all night, sleeps all day) but we'll get there. Need to get some pictures taken and put up - would have taken lots after the birth but things went a bit crazy - I didn't even SEE Eden properly for hours as everything was being done to me and OH was holding her - glad he got such an early bonding experience though. Need to write my birth story in detail I think, as every time I think about it I remember a bit more. All that matters though is she's here and she's healthy, I'm ok now apart from being very sore after a 3rd degree tear and losing 1300ml of blood because my uterus wasn't contracting fast enough (yeah, kinda panicked everyone there...) and I managed to deliver her myself, in the way that I wanted Just waiting for the midwife to arrive so I'll update more later xxxxx

 

[sspencer99]

Glad to hear all is ok and that ur home now

Cass she is just tooo cute

Thar next baby due is a boy rite??? This is girl power ATM lol

Xxx have a good day all xxX

 

[QueenVic]

Raych!! So glad ur ok and at home the tearing & blood loss sounds painful & scary

Can't wait to hear full birth story

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Rachel, glad you're home and you and Eden are doing well. Are you going to start a parenting journal?

Yes, Stacey, if all goes as planned, the next three babies should be boys... Did you say your scan is this coming Friday? I think Logan's appt is on Wednesday and mine is on Thursday...

Vicki, how are you feeling? Not long to go now...

 

[sspencer99]

Woooow for appointments Jen mine is thursday too I'm just to excited xxx

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Oooh, yay!!!
Are you still feeling like it's a boy? I'm gonna go back and look at your early scan pic and see what I think... Can't wait to find out! It's been way too long since we've had a thrilling gender reveal around here!!

 

[DrGomps]

Awe, Cassie, Macie is gorgeous…I think i want to dress Josie up today and snap some piccies…need a good one for our holiday card. Excellent job on the gain Macie!! Is she bfing or ffing??


Sarah, all great names. I especially like Naomi. I wish they had gas and air in the US….but don't knock an epidural…it was a godsend to me. But I was induced, stuck in bed and had the pitocin drip which made my contractions INSANE!! I progressed very quickly with it and it helped me get rest for what was a very difficult pushing session due to her large head.

Rachel, glad you are home!! Ouch on the tear and how scary that you lost so much blood, glad you are okay now hun!! Are you bfing?? I agree that you should start a parenting journal and we would love more piccy's when you have time. She is gorgeous!!

Ooh Stacey, so excited to find out what your having!
