Still 10 hours to go swtpnk lol xx

 

[Carlyp1990]

Don't think mines budging anytime soon

How's everyone's new years day? I'm at Jon's mums at the minute and have just eaten loads of chocolate so feel sick now xx

 

[Swtpinkbabi]

BB how are you and new baby doing?

Really good thank you

The first night he woke every hour so I was exhausted. Last night we changed his Moses basket as we have a posh one for downstairs and a plain wicker one upstairs. I think the wicker one mustn't be as comfortable as he wasn't settling properly in it. I woke him at about 12.30 to feed because he was making funny noises, he then woke at about 4ish and again at 8 I feel like a new woman

Milk is just coming in so feeding is much easier and a lot more comfortable

He's a very content little boy, he hardly cries, the most he cries is when you get him dressed or change his nappy.

His brother is completely smitten with him which is amazing to see. I feel so truly blessed

How are you?

I feel like I'm doing well recovery wise. Definitely still have some pain from the section but not too bad. I'm really struggling with this nursing though and poor Dh doesn't know what to do with me. I've had another spell yesterday and I'm thinking I'm not going to make it. Baby just seems super hungry when I try to nurse him and he's so fidgety that he knocks the shield off. I have a hard time getting it on in the first place. Then he screams and won't latch and it's on to the bottle . I'm so depressed about it, I'm hoping to see the lactation nurses next week for some more help.

 

[Swtpinkbabi]

Fingers crossed one of you ladies delivers soon. Sorry you don't feel well Carly. We're just staying at home as it's so cold outside and there's a ice storm moving in soon. I just put baby down again, so I'm going to snuggle up in my bed next to his sleeper.

 

[ab75]

I've just been jumping and dancing with the girls and been for a drive down cobbled streets so I'm hoping for movement Carly.
Getting bump pain now and my cervix feels stingy xx


Amy, thinking of you and hoping you are ok xx

 

[Carlyp1990]

Pink that sounds like a nice relaxed day

Surely he must be coming soon Amanda! I really wanted to go out today for a walk or something and I wanted jon to take me out for some food but he won't I tried telling him it could out last chance to go out as a family of 3 for but he's having none of it xx

 

[Carlyp1990]

Has anyone heard from amy since yesterday? She's being awfully quiet. I hope she's ok xx

 

[Ziggie]

Obviously these babies are just causing stress at the moment!!

I was pretty much in hospital for 24 hours. I'm knackered. They insisted on induction but I was able to refuse and discharged. Doctor this morning was a total ARSE. Spoken to my midwife who was wonderful and I've decided my plan is daily monitoring between now and Monday and if no baby by then I will agree to be induced Monday at 42+5.

So hopefully baby soon!

 

[ab75]

Amy was on this morning. I will text her xx

 

[ab75]

I hope baby comes naturally before monday zig.
Xx

 

[Ziggie]

It would be nice but I'm getting good my mind ready for it not. I lost it in hospital my head was not in a good place for induction or labour, it would have been horrible. I'm feeling like I can mentally prepare now and be as ready as I'm ever going to be plus my midwife said she's seen very few women go past 42+4 so you never know!

 

[ab75]

Are you trying anything to bring it on?
Nipple stimulation has been giving me strong contractions. And I have been jumping today and feeling cervix pains now, lol, don't know if it'll help but it won't do any harm xx

Can you take a bath yet? I found with Tristan that when we both got worked up about it he wouldn't latch and feed so I used to run us a bath, climb into the bath and feed him in there. I think it was a mixture of the warm water and the skin to skin.

Also if you feel that you can just try and persevere, try not to offer the bottle until he has fed at the breast. Is there a reason you are using nipple shields?

I really hope the lactation nurses can help Can you get them out sooner? I promise it does get easier!

 

[sethsmummy]

pink sorry your finding it so hard to feed lo... your doing better than me though i gave up on day 2.

I was talking to Amy last night.. i think shes just really down and out about it all right now with oh being a knob. xx

 

[Carlyp1990]

Aww bless her, it must be so hard for her at the moment xx

 

[ab75]

Been texting Amy for the last hour. She's ok and will catch up later. Had her tooth pulled today xxx

 

[Carlyp1990]

Glad she's ok. Thanks for updating me I was going to message her but didn't want her to feel harassed she's really having a bad time of it lately!

Is it strange that I'm really excited for my sweep tomorrow? I'm sure I'm not normal

 

[brunettebimbo]

I'm harassing her too

Carly that's totally normal. Your excited at the prospect of meeting your baby sooner! I hope it works for you

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Glad Amy is okay. Hopefully Scott bucks his ideas up soon.

Do they only offer sweeps when you've met your due date and passed it? I had 2 with Jayden and neither worked because my cervix wasn't favorable but went into labour 2 days later anyway.

I'm getting more BH lately, hopefully it's a good sign. I'm super excited for tomorrow (how sad)

I'm not sure why OH was arsey but he still thinks I'm moving I'm so done with that subject I just tell him to shut up x

 

[Carlyp1990]

I can't wait! I'm just like roll on 1:15!

Jon told me yesterday aswell that when I was in labour with katie I only had the pethidine just before I started pushing, which means I managed to get fully dilated with no pain relief at all because gas and air make some feel funny. I always thought I'd had it as soon as I got.to the hospital when I was 6 cm! I'm so proud of how well I actually did last time that I'm more positive now for this labour xx
