Wishing, Laila is gorgeous

Week on Friday until my 20 week scan, and the nursery is coming along nicely. Will take pictures when it's finally done, but think it's going to be a work in progress for a while longer yet!

Hope you're all doing well. My sister is coming to visit today and we're going shopping to the Metro Centre. She's buying our moses basket for us!

Its getting closer to ur scan date now this has prob been asked i cant remember lol eill u be asking the sex of baby? Im sure u will love it when nursery all done. I love having the room ready but makes me want him here so that he can actually go in it for getting changed or for me and callum chill time lol instead of just going in it now to put new clothes away lol

Im getting so excited with only 3weeks until my section today i also have dds 3rd birthday in 2weeks. I really wanted to do a little party for her but it may not be such a good idea. So we will have a family day, may take her to a soft play area or maybe the cinema. She is so excited for her little brother coming, she even put him down on her xmas list lol we have let her pick his coming home outfit and she enjoyed that. She loves being involved so far

sorry im not around much at the mo but still trying get in a routine since laila has come and its supprising how much time they take up,im loving every second of it still though and already broody ,im defo having no more,

well here is my birth birth story
i went in hospital for 1pm to try and have laila turned,after being preped up i was given an injection in my arm which relaxes the muscles in ur belly to make it easyier,well while they were turning her i tried thinking that if i stayed relaxed id have more chance of it working and meeting my little princess sooner than later and i think thats what helped make it work,i think the injection was painfull too as they dont bother me usually but this one did lol,the turning caused like a presure/burning sensation in my ribs then hip to pubic bone but by breathing through it i thought it was very easy to cope with,sean said it was mad as you could see the outline of laila's body and how she was curled up,well it took 2 to 3 mins n was successfull,they monitored me for half hour n then about 3pm put a thing inside behind the cervix to try start labour,i was warned this could take 48 hours n i could still not be in labour but i replied no chance she will be here by the morning lol,at this point the consultant said he would love for me prove him wrong,well i had a few pains but nothing huge,at half 4 i get a phone call asking for my dd date of birth,if she is allergic to anything and the rest,to my horror it was the ambulance people as my dd had had a convultion/fit(sorry if spelt wrong) and were rushing her to the childrens ward at the same hospital,i should have been getting monitored with laila going through so much but cause i felt her moving i went to meet my dd to be there for her,i was in tears as she seemed so ill and has neva had one of these before so was out the blue,all tests came back ok and they thought it was caused by the excitment of everything and at half 8ish she was allowed homeas she was bk to her old self too so my mum took her while i went bk to the labour ward,everything calmed down for me and i wasnt getting anywhere n all pain stopped,my midwifes finaly came to see me at 4.35am in which i told them i didnt think the thing they put in the day before was working or in properly so she checked and agreed it had moved to infront of the cervix so put it back in behind to get things going,i was 2 cm dilated but thats how i was hours before,her words before she left at 4.50 was get a few hours sleep n we will check you again at half 8ish,well within 10 mins of her leaving the pains came from no where hiting every 5 mins and strong,she came bk in as i beeped her for pain killers as i wanted to go as long as i could pain relief free n she paniced n said she was going talk to the doctor as she thought i was well on my way,this was at 5.15ish,well they checked me at quarter to 6 n my cervix had soften n everything but i was still 2cm gone but that was good as i just needed to dilate to 10cm now so they broke my waters,the pain increased so i was on the gas n air within 5 mins of them being broken,i also still wasnt in astablished labour when they broke them,i was checked again at half 7 to be told i was 4 cm dilated,a new midwife started her shift n i can remember being introduced slightly but was off my head at this point,at 7.50 i realised i needed a wee so did a quick dash to the toilet n hope id get bk to my bed n gas n air before the next hit but nope i sat on the toilet n half way through weeing the pain hit,with no pain relief i could have cried but then i realised it was just a pain i wanted to push so ran bk to the bed and after 3 big strong pushes laila mai arrived hand first at 7.58 weighing 7lb 14oz so i went from 4cm dilated to holding my baby in just 28 mins lol,my midwifes face was funny as she had only just been introduced n told id got a while go hahahaha,best day of my life though n yeah it was painfull but you need remember my body wasnt ready so thats what made it worse as my dd n ds were so much easier plus they didnt come out hand first as you can just emagin i missed out on the crowning n everything lol,i had no stitches but a few grazes,just over 5 hours after having her i was bk home and introducing millie n oscar to their baby sister,im tired but on cloud nine ,cant wait to hear ur stories now as ul be doing them before you know it,id also like to find the pause botton on my life now as laila is almost 2 wks old n its flown,she wasnt due till tomoz hehehe,i also proved the consultant wrong he even laughed n said well done to me for knowing my own body lol x x x

 

[youngwife20]

we may be moving house soon so were not sure if we will bother painting the nursery.. as were looking out houses to buy which i find really exciting lol im gonna be 20 and own my own house lol but i hear its a long process lol so may not be done by the time shes born! lol xx



wishing- awww what a lovely birth story!! how are you feeling? what was the first thing you ate when you got home lol. how were you with visitors? were you okay with them or did you want your alone time? my auntis coming from america with one of her twins, and the babys great grandma is coming from nigeria and my other aunti might be coming from canada to see the baby. alot of ppl around lol xx

 

[Rachael1981]

Youngwife, have you thought about the I Love My Bear pink moses basket from Toys R Us? I have the neutral one so I can use it for the next baby (we're hoping for 2 altogether)

 

[youngwife20]

Racheal - i dont think ive seen it il have a look , were did you get the bedding from? and it fits ok? xx

 

[youngwife20]

cants seem to find it have you a lik for the pink one plz x

 

[Rachael1981]

Seems there isn't one any more. How about this? https://www.toysrus.co.uk/Babies-R-Us/Collections/Sugar-and-Spice-Moses-Basket(0088514) and then you could get this https://www.toysrus.co.uk/Babies-R-...s-Basket-Bedding-Starter-Set-in-Pink(0079974)

 

[youngwife20]

aww thank you!! I LIKE IT how do you check if its gonna fit it doesnt say the dimention size xx

 

[Rachael1981]

The moses basket? They're a standard size and any pram/moses basket sheets and blankets will fit

 

[youngwife20]

fantastic thank you!! the one we were gonna get was i think a bigger moses basket so no sheets fit its dimensions! lol thanks i think this is the one xx

 

[Rachael1981]

I think there is another pink one on the babies r us site too. Mine is a standard size from there, I can actually swap the mattresses between my moses basket and carrycot for the pram as they are the same size

 

[tryng4another]

wow wishing u had alot happen on that day. how is laila getting on?

i just keep thinking that i know i will be fine and i know what to expect xxx

 

[tryng4another]

had midwife appointment today and he is no longer breech he is the right way now, just not got head engaged which is totally fine for me. at least i know why i have been feeling the extra pressure in my pelvis area. today was also my last time seeing midwife as i have a hospital appointment next friday so no need to see her at 38weeks. then the week after is my section. makes it all feel so close now cos i wont be seeing again unless i have any concerns. she also said as long im fine and baby is fine i could get out of hospital the next day which is good cos i dont want to stay in until xmas eve lol

 

[Rachael1981]

Oooo getting so close!
