Hey all
Thanx for all your lovely words it's still not sunk in yet lol
Soz for not coming on sooner as I have been on fb

There's not much to my birth story lol
I went in to see midwife she said it was to early for a sweep and that it would not work if she did one
At about 10:30pm sat my contractions started I had about two in half hr and then at about 11pm they came on fast every five to six mins by 3am they where every two to three mins then followed by my show
Arrived at hospital at 4am I was 4/5 cm dilated and after n 2hrs I was 8cm and had to have my waters broken and I got in the pool but got out again as I ddnt like it I actually had her on a birthing stool and had a mirror placed In front of me so I saw her enter the world soo precious.
I was pushing for around n hr so not long at all
And of course I had no pain releif not even gas n air I'm soo proud of myself
My mum sister and mo where with me the whole way through
She came out like super man so ripped me all inside so Ive had to have stiches but all good
She had a poo on her way out too think she had inhaled a bit as her resperitry rate was more than double than it should have been we had to stay in for obs but only 12 hrs so we still came out same day

Soz for the babble lol
I'm just soo in live this feeling is just amazing I'm just floating

Xxxxx

[AmaryllisRed]

Stacey, what a great story!! Congratulations!!
What a brave lady, no gas or anything!!
She is beautiful.

Wow Stacey, that sounds not too bad at all! Well done on no pain relief. Can't see me doing that well. She really is beautiful and lots of gorgeous hair. Love the pics on FB!

Jen, are you still feeling mega broody or is it wearing off? I can list all my symptoms if it would put you off? Heartburn, sleep deprivation, SPD

We have our gender scan next Saturday so just over a week to go. We have no idea what they are but i'm hoping for my DH that one of them is a girl as he has a son already. I don't mind tbh. We can't think of any names at all for a boy so it's likely to be two boys

 

[AmaryllisRed]

My gut says two boys, so I'm going to say two girls. Because I thought Ysa was having girls and look how that turned out!

I'm totally still broody. Keep listing symptoms...

My phone battery died for like the fourth time in a week. Insane. I barely use it most days. So, yeah. Time for new phones.

Went and bought Samuel some new clothes since he's basically outgrown most of his 0-3 mos... at this rate, he'll be caught up to Thomas by his 1st birthday!! Seriously, though, he's just so stocky compared to his brother. It's adorable.

Church tonight... and swingset is done. Yay! Bring on summer!

 

[QueenVic]

Aww I wanna see pics !! I never got round to adding anyone to facebook

Well done Stace sounds like u did BRILLIANTLY

We just got the pics back from H's babyshoot, so pleased with them but I look huge in the family ones, blah..

Been busy busy as Mums over this week so trying to cram as much in as poss!

Trace can't wait to find out what you're having !!! I think maybe one of each or 2 boys?

 

[Traskey]

Did any of you have spotting during the second tri?

 

[Sun_Flower]

Can't say that I did hon, had some at 5 weeks and 7 weeks but not further on. You ok? xx

 

[Traskey]

Yeah, just spotting and as I have not had any so far this pregnancy just a little bit worried. Trying not to though but all the info I can find about it is in first tri

 

[sspencer99]

Aww Tracey I can't wait to see what your having you must be excited
If it's only a lill bit of blood try not to worry or give ur dr a call

Vic when I get a chance to get on my laPtop il post a pic for you

And would love to see ur lill ones photo shoot xxx

 

[DrGomps]

yay Stacey...glad to see you on here! Sounds like your labor was really fast!! I am SO impressed that you managed without pain relief...you brave, brave woman!! LOL @ coming in as superman...my friend had a really hard time though with her son and had a 4th degree tear. Rachel, I didn't realize eden also came as "multiple presentation (what they call it here)".

Tracey, I think your having one of each...I didn't have second trimester bleeding either, do you know the location of the placenta?? Placenta Previa can sometimes cause some bleeding, or it could just be your cervix is irritated, I would go get seen though.

 

[Traskey]

One baby has an anterior placenta and the other is posterior It's all stopped now so i'm one very relieved preggo.

Thanks for your support

 

[Traskey]

Wow, thought i'd lost my subscription to here but I was the last to post.

Quiet in here!!!!!

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Um... not much to say, really... Samuel has been pretty clingy lately. He's awake a lot more than he used to be and he isn't content to just sit in his bouncer and watch the world go by. He wants to be entertained. And not like, here, look at this toybar entertained. He wants ME to be his personal entertainment.
But I'm busy being his personal chef, his personal launderer, his activities organizer, etc.
And as I might have alluded to, Thomas has been not so well behaved lately.
So yeah. Time sucking. Blah.

Jen - ditto. also having a bit of a rough time. Darragh has now decided that every nap time he needs to be held and shushed to sleep and if you even dare try to put him down while he is asleep god help you he screams the place down!! Also at night time still getting up 2-3 times for feeds, which is fine, but now disturbing in between feeds, needing shushing, hand holding sometimes even picking up to get back to sleep. last night nothing worked and in the end had to leave him shouting and grumbling in hos cot for 5 mins before he eventually stopped, sucked his fist and 2 mins later was asleep. Its tends to be worse as it gets closer to morning, he doesn't wake up just is really unsettled in the cot, thrashing his arms about and pulling his legs up. The lack of sleep is really getting me down!!!!!!!!!

hope LO starts to entertain himself more...thank goodness Darragh is able to at the moment otherwise i wouldn't get 1 second to myself!!!

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Samuel slept through last night.

From 11:45 to 5:45. Awesomesauce.
But today is another clingy day. All I want is a shower!!!

 

[lilrojo]

So put him in his bed and take a shower.. you can shower while he cries..
