March 2012 - buxom and blooming in the second trimester (we wish!)

[FlipFantasia]

Here you go ladies, somewhere for all soon-to-be March mums to share the ups and downs

I have a baby!

Nalani was born at 6.08pm on the 23rd of February weighing 7lb 13.5oz. She is feeding well and DD1 is chuffed to be a big sister :)

I had an interesting labour. Builders were still in my house at 3pm when my contractions suddenly went from 6 minutes to 2 mins apart in less than half hour. Left them the keys with instructions to clear up and get out and got sleeping DD1 into car ready to go to hospital. Got into back seat and waters went, cue back to back contractions rolling into one another and feeling like pushing. My mum phoned for an ambulance, whilst I woke up DD1 with all the noise I was making, with builders looking on from the sidelines! Blue-lighted to hospital trying not to push as didn't know if I was 10cm yet. Got into delivery room, told 10cm, pushed but babies heart rate was dropping after contractions. Pushed for half hour, taken to theatre still pushing given spinal block and attempted ventouse. In the end they couldn't turn her she was occiput transverse so another EMCS for me. Lost 800mls of blood, but I am fine now, just sore.

My darling little son was born at 10:59pm on Wed 7th March. Emergency section as his heart beat dropped during labour. Sore and tired but home with lil man and loving it

Congratulations buterflies, hope you have a swift recovery. 7th March a great day, its my birthday too!

Thank you Zhen, has everyone had their babies yet? Anyone still waiting?

Congrats butterflies and zhen

Still here. Still pregnant. Still waiting, patiently(ish).

due date is the 27th, first baby and feels very very surreal.... I don't think the baby has engaged yet, should I be worried?

Congrats to all those who have had their babies

Little 30 My 1st DS never did engage and although was overdue and got induced it was a natural birth so I wouldnt worry too much at all.
