[BillComptonstrousers]

bloody Facebook has lured me over there, but I have got to start posting here again!

Congratulations on all the lovely new babies, think we have 9 in total now and one on the way tomorrow!

Old thread is here

Zhen, clarice BIG congratulations!!
Am getting nervous about induction.
Getting all sorted now, bag packed etc
Wish me luck!!! X

Hi All,

I was on this bus really early one but I completely lost trackofeverything.

Anyway Noah James was born on Tuesday 21st Feb 11 days late. I had to be induced but he wasn't tolerating the drip (heartbeat dipped as low as 50 and as high as 200 in one contraction) We then went to theatre for an EMCS and turns out he had the cord around his neck and torso.

Congrats to all of the ladies who have had their babies and hope the rest of you don't have much longer to wait.

Congratulations Claricestar, what a lovely speedy birth :)

Congratulations gonerogue glad that they got Noah out safely, hope your recovery is going smoothly

Good luck McQueasy:)

Congratulations to clarice, rogue and zhen! Love hearing all the baby news :-D

Still in hospital with a haematoma that looks like a haemorrhoid in my stitches. This is why i don't let men near my parts. It fecking hurts. Nipples are shredded even though the midwife says I'm feeding right. Whose idea was this, anyway?! ;-)

Congratulations Clarice , Rogue and Hermione

Good luck with your induction McQueasy , sorry I didn't manage to persuade your baby to come out!

Midwife appointment for me tomorrow, she is planning to give me another sweep but I think I am going to beg to be sent for induction. At my last appointment I measured small and was sent up to the hospital for more scans. Everything was OK but I am starting to get a bit worried, so I would like to get this baby out asap!

AIBU to want a leap year baby too?

thankyou! congratulations to everyone x

I had an induction with my first, pessary, ARM, syntocin drip...took about 30 hours, but had an epidural which was great. Try not to be too nervous. Although my second and third births were more "textbook" and quick, the first was still a good experience with my lovely DS as a reward! Good luck all those going for inductions x

Been so busy with my own little baby but thought id come say hello quickly! Congratulations to all the new babies!!! there cant be many left!

Halle is 15 days old now. Oh how time flies! We are in a bit of a routine (kinda..) and just getting to know each other still. DD1 is loving being a big sister and even wants to change poopy nappies Im absolutely shattered but loving being a mum to 2 little girls!

Congrats zhen and clarice. Scary birth zhen!

Still waiting here. Had contractions all day yesterday again from 2am and had to breathe throu most of them hanging ver the kitchen sink, sofa, bed, bath etc. Guess what

No fecking baby yet!!! They went off around 9pm last night apart from two mahoosive ones.

Very cheesed off now. Hospital on Wednesday to see cinsultant who wants to book me in for induction at 40+ 2 but am going to refuse unless something wrong with baby. Have had one row with him already about foetal testing for downs etc so could be interesting. Will be on my own as DH at work.

DD1 peeing me off atm. She was supposed to go to either the gym or revision after school. Had text saying could her friend stop the night. I said big fat no as I am overdue and don't really want to be responsible for sorting someone elses DD out while I am in labour. So she says no revision and forgot her gym card can I pick her up at normal time. I refused as waiting on an important delivery of a new starter motor for the car so I can use it. Told her to come home with friend who brings them he Monday and Tuesday's to which she refused as she wanted her friend to come as well and I said she wasn't allowed friend if coming home as normal. Then she said friend couldn't go to her hoe as a gas leak and council had evacuated residents. Sorry but not my problem! They have walked home to do some revision but currently sat watching you tube. She is dropping major hints that friend and mum have to move out for 3 days while flats are bing sorted for the gas leak. I have told her we need to go to my mums before 6pm so drop friend off before then as its my brothers birthday. I am about to ring DH at work to get him to give her a rollicking - don't you just love rising 15 year olds!

Congratulations zhen, herminone, gone rogue, clarice and anyone else I have missed .

My dd2 was born on Friday, weighing 7lbs 11oz. Much easier than first time - about 10 hours from first pain and pushing very quick. Just home today as had problems with feeding and then had to wait on tests for jaundice. Tess Jean is beautiful but having 2 is knackering and I've only been home half a day. Already panicking about dh going back to work.

Good luck to all those still waiting or about to be induced.

Hi Ladies, my little baby girl was born 25th Feb 2012 at 03:01. I lost my mucus plug at 7am and my waters broke at 6pm, with no contractions. I telephoned the hospital and they told me to come in so the could check me over. They sent my home and told me to come back the next day at 12 noon so I could be induced. Unless, Obviously I started to have contractions and I would need to ring them again.
I took the 20 min journey home and by the time I arrived home I was having cntractions every 5 mins. I telephoned the hospital and they told me that the contractions seemed to be only every 30 seconds and they needed to be having them 3 times every 10 mins and lasting 1 min at a time. They started to come every 3 mins shortly after the phone call. We then drove back to the hospital.
The midwife checked me over and told me I was only 2cm dilated!!!!! She said that I could go home which I flatly refused or I could be put on a ward with 3 mother women and have pethadine but my husband had to go home and could return either in the morning or if labour is more progressed. I excepted ward option (annoyingly)!!!!!. This is no joke (still cant believe it now) in 6 mins I went from 2cm - 7cm!!! They were so intense I actually calapsed on the floor.
They got me on the bed and I was horrified at the amount of blood. They told me I was so far gone and I had dilated incredibly quickly hence the large amount of blood. I was too far gone for any pain relief and I had gas and air. 1 hour 20 mins later she was born. I needed 1 stitch!
Although, it was short, sharp and scary she was worth every contraction.

MW said it was a rare labour especially for a first time mother.

just popping on to announce the arrival of my ds2 Jude William born on 24th february. He was 8lbs 13 oz and just perfect. The labour was an awful 26 hours, with a failed epidural. Very painful and exhausting. He was worth it though and thankfully I have forgotten the pain already.

Well done all the February mums and babies.

Wow... how many babies ?!

Congratulations to all

Original D-Day has been and gone now... scan D-Day is march 5th... still hoping for a leapling!!!

Not much else to report other than bored of crappy hands, fat feet and inability to sleep

Being induced in the morning. Excited but also completely terrified! 12 days late though so am ready to meet the lo now that's for sure.

Welcome babies! I really love the name Jude.

Good luck Emz! My induction was lovely, you'll soon be having cuddles :)

good luck Emz. I like the name Jude as well - i commented on another thread i liked it - not sure if that was you?

still waiting here. still cheesed off with the whole stop start of this one. the other two i just went and that was it. this one has had me hanging off furniture in agony for hours on end then decides he isnt ready! i will be having words when he does arrive!

Congratulations to all those who have had babies since I last posted! Hope you're all enjoying your newborn snuggles
