Waiting for AF after M/C, anyone else? OCBM

[WhisperOfHope]

My waters broke at 4am this morning, went into hospital at 6am for them to check me and am back at home now waiting for things to get going! Have bad period pain in my back and I keep gushing more and more water. Gonna try to get some sleep now, but hospital said to come back at 10pm if things haven't progressed as they'll probably want to give me something to get my contractions going properly. They were every 5 mins at the hospital but not very painful so they want to wait until I'm more obviously in labour before checking my cervix because of the risk of introducing infection. So exciting that I'll be meeting my baby in the next 24 hours! xx

Oh How Exciting good luck

Im Currently waiting to ovulate but god knows when that will be as i am on my own this cycle with no meds

Ooooooh good luck teacup I cant believe its time already! So excited for you! Cant wait for your next update! I hope things so quickly and calmly for you, sending lots of love and deep breaths x x x

 

[Literati_Love]

Wow, that is so exciting, teacup!!!! I love the intrigue! Can't wait to hear your birth announcement and birth story and most importantly for you to have your baby in your arms! Best of luck with your labour and everything else! You will do great!

I wonder how blue is doing?

 

[Lindsay109]

Oooh, exciting! I'm checking in regularly to watch for baby news from blue and teacup!!!

 

[dreamingmom]

Teacup-Congratulations, I can't wait to here a update

LL- buy some cheap tension rods at the dollar store. Then you can just drape a towel or sheet over the windows in the nursery so you can feel more comfortable.

AF got me this month. I started to spot early this month, and hoped that it might have been implantation bleeding but on my normal cycle day AF came full force, dashing that hope. I am now waiting for AF to end. The good news is I just ordered some new lingerie and plan on it being here right before I O. I think I'll hold onto it as a secret weapon to make sure no matter what mood DH is in on my fertile days, I will be able to make sure we DTD.

 

[Literati_Love]

Dreaming - thanks for the suggestion

Great idea on the lingerie! I'm sure that will put your DH in the mood! Sorry AF got you, though.

 

[WhisperOfHope]

I Just got my first ever positive opk WITHOUT any meds needed

Crys - nice to hear from you again. 23 weeks already! Wow! How are you feeling? How are your other kids?

Teacup - thinking of you and praying for you lots! I am hoping everything went well and that you are getting lots of sweet newborn cuddles!

Blue - really hope your absence is because you're giving birth! Hehe!

Lindsay - how is Rowan?

Kim and alt - how are you ladies doing? I hope your time away is helping you heal.

Sara- how are things this cycle? Haven't heard from you in a long time.

[bluestars]

Tea- very exciting to here. Our little babies will only be days apart! Hope your doing ok. Excited to hear.

Afm- I was taken into hospital on sunday the 26th to be induced. Was given one dose of prostin at 4pm and my body went into labour on its own. From 4pm till 4am i was left to dilate on my own until i couldn't take it any more of the pain. I was then taken down to labour Ward where Dons joined me and i was given gas and air!! Amazing stuff!!! They then broke my waters at 5am and things got even more intense but gas and air worked fine. Babies heart rate got really fast because i was being sick and became dehydrated so the consultant then had to take a SCRAPING of babies head to test the oxygen in her blood. That was brutal !! I screamed at the doctor to stop couldnt believe the noise of the scraping on babies head! Anyway thing progressed pretty quick and at 10.28am my beautiful daughter came into the world!!

Im completely in love ! She is perfect in every way!

This is Asiah Jessica (said the same as Asia). Weighing 8lb5 ounces! We are head over heals.

 

[Literati_Love]

Congratulations, blue! Baby Asiah is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your birth story. I am so incredibly happy for you! How are you and baby doing now? Has breastfeeding been going ok? are you coping ok with the lack of sleep and hormones? Are you still in the hospital? So happy for you. Congrats again!

Also- the scraping sounds awful! I am so glad she is ok!

 

[Lindsay109]

Congrats Emma, she is beautiful!!! I hope you're back home and adjusting well and she is letting you get some sleep

I'll do a longer post another day, just packing up to go visit family tomorrow

 

[crysshae]

Congratulations Emma and Dons! Asiah is gorgeous. What a great job Mama! Can't wait to hear how everything is going.

 

[Literati_Love]

All the girl babies on here (born this year) have names that end in an 'a' or 'ah'! Well... I guess except baby gremlin whose real name we haven't ever found out. 😕

Can't wait to hear teacup's news!

 

[Linnypops]

Congratulations Emma! What a lovely name for a beautiful girl! Can't wait to see more baby pics. Hope you get some rest over the next few days xxx

Tea- hope everything went well! X

Lit - hehe good point! Wondering what gremlins real name is now.

 

[ljsmummy]

Emma congratulations!!! Wow what a little beauty! Hope you are enjoying those precious newborn cuddles and kisses. I miss them already! I looove the name! DHs little sister is Asia (minus the h) and she's beautiful, kind, talented and such a lovely young lady. I rarely hear the name anywhere but whenever I do I think of that!

Can't wait to hear from Teacup!!

Lit - Oscar can join your names ending in 'ah/a' almost lol he is a little girly sometimes! To your previous post, WOW its crazy with a 3 year old and 3 month old. The logistics of getting them anywhere takes hours of planning. DH works full time and ive only just started venturing out by myself with the boys. I went to the supermarket, had to find a trolley with a lay down seat and sit up seat, Luca (ds1) hates getting in the trolley so that took ages and by then Oscar was crying to get out of his seat. We got half way around, Oscar started screaming as he was suddenly starving, Luca needed the toilet urgently (hes not long out of pullups) so we had to abandon the trolley outside the toilet, had Oscar in one arm whilst trying to assist Luca on the toilet (who has a fear of the hand driers in public toilets)....it was just crazy. Im a relaxed person but I felt sooo stressed! Needless to say, im saving shopping for DHs days off. Or even better, doing online shopping from now on! Its just manic. I know its great they have a small age gap, and im sooo grateful for getting pregnant so quickly after the ectopic, but in reality waiting another year would have been much easier! But I wouldn't change them for the world.

Has anyone discussed having more children yet and when would you like it to happen?

I wonder where aleeah went id also love to know what gremlin was named!

hope everyone is doing well. Yes Sara where did you go? Kim? Sabster? Miss you all!

Xxxx

 

[Literati_Love]

Ugh- just lost my whole post!

LJ - that sounds like a horrendous grocery trip experience! Yikes! I honestly wonder how I will ever manage with multiple children as I can't even manage to get out of the house with one by myself. I have done it a few times and have come home utterly exhausted and frazzled. The last time I did it I ended up locking my keys in the car and having to call my dad to rescue me because my DH was out of town! Ugh. Baby brain! So good for you for trying to go out with two. I don't blame you at all for now waiting for your DH to be along to help you. I feel like such a wimp unable to go out with one! I do hope your situation gets easier as Oscar gets a bit older.

I was thinking of trying for our next one starting between November 2015-January 2016 depending how I feel at that point. We are hoping for a 2-2.5 year gap...although from what you just posted I am wondering if that is crazy of me! Ideally I want at least 3 kids. DH wants 4 but we will see about that! Do you want any more children?

I really miss hearing from Aleeah as well.

 

[crysshae]

My first 3 were 3 to 3-1/2 years apart. I always wanted one potty trained before having the next so only 1 in diapers at a time. My 4th was 3-1/2 years after the third but God gave us twins on that 4th pregnancy. So 2 in diapers. Lol. It gets easier to go out with them as you practice and learn what works. You'll be an old pro before long.

Saw the specialist yesterday. No previa. Praise the Lord! And it's definitely a boy. Got a perfectly clear shot. Little ratfink still wouldn't cooperate for profile pictures or anything. Lol.

 

[Literati_Love]

Crys - is boy what you had guessed? I can't remember now. Good to have confirmation!! I am so happy for you that you don't have placenta previa! Sounds like you have a stubborn one in there. You have quite a good gap with all of yours! I feel my time is limited as I want 3-4 kids and I want to have them before I turn 35.
