Congratulations RnB! ThanksWine Lovely name :)

ST82 - it's a secret group, you won't be able to either find it or add yourself to it - you need to PM someone in the know and I'm sorry, I don't know who (I'm not in it).

Wriggler wrong way round again this morning

Congrats RnB!

Thea Isobel arrived 4am 3rd Oct. V snuggly!

My sweep must've done it! Wink newton hope you demand one from mw next time, if needed!

GizzyBoo · 04/10/2012 09:59

Wow such a lot of new babies. Congrats all Thanks
Maybe someone with more get up and go than me access to a computer could update the list with our new arrivals Smile

Sorry to disappoint ladies but no movement here. Just been busy and hardly had chance to sit at the laptop. Its such an effort to catch up on my phone Blush
The teenager has also been horrible the last few days but I waved him off on the ferry last night with a tear in my eye so he cant be all that bad. I shall see him again, with his new wee brother or sister, in 3 weeks Sad

I have been married for 15 years today Shock I have no idea where those years have gone!

Tis my due date tomorrow and I'm still not feeling settled enough to have a baby. I think I want to set up the birth pool today and get my candles ready Blush I didn't really want it sat there for a week or 2 but I need something to do and I need to feel ready.
I also need to clean the bathroom as its also bugging me.
I am mostly feeling sick with a dodgy tummy too....oh and backache! After months of being really good my IBS has been horrid last couple of days. Probably the stress of the teenagers behavior and getting him ready for his hols.

Sorry for the lack of name checks. Will try and catch up properly later xx

Thumbwitch · 04/10/2012 10:20

Congratulations MisInterpret! Another beautiful name ThanksWine

Gizzy - I reckon your IBS is actually a Good Sign that things are about to happen...

newtonupontheheath · 04/10/2012 11:00

I've just been on a mad cleaning spree while Penny sleeps, for the first time in 3 days she's been asleep for a continuous 1 hour 45 minutes! Seems the milk coming in really has made a difference, she's much more settled today. I, however, look like Dolly Parton and feel like my boobs are about to pop Hmm

Congratulations Msinterpret, love the name. Can't believe how quickly all these babies are appearing now!

Bear1984 · 04/10/2012 12:28

Got a spare 5 minutes to quickly update you all!

So last week I had been debating whether or not to go to my DD's aunt's wedding. It was in Nottingham which is about a 2 hour drive from here. We took all our hospital bags, car seat and a travel moses basket, as my theory was that if we took it all, nothing would happen, if we don't, it will. How wrong was I, lol!

We went up on the Friday. We went out for a meal with the family. I had a couple of tightenings, didn't really think much of it as they always keep coming and going. We were staying over at DD's aunt's house, so we stayed up with her til late as she was a bit restless and we wanted to keep her company so she wasn't just staring at the ceiling all night. We went to bed about 1am, and I managed to get some sleep, kept waking up to go to the loo though. Then at 4am, I woke up with really bad back ache. It kept coming and going, which was funny in a way as earlier on that day, DP had been telling me about back labour that he had just been reading up on. So I tried to get comfortable in bed as usually when things kick off, if I rest up in bed, it dies away after a while. It didn't so 20 minutes later, I was running myself a bath thinking that will help sooth it. 5 minutes in the bath, pains were getting worse. There's me thinking holy crap lol.

I went downstairs so I wouldn't wake anyone, and called the local hospital to ask for advice. There's two hospitals in Nottingham and I happened to call the one furthest away from us, so she told me she would get the maternity ward to call me from the other hospital. I not so quickly got back upstairs and woke DP up shouting "get up, baby may be here within the hour". His face was a picture. DD's aunt came out of her room then and had said she had heard I was up and having a bath but didn't want to come disturb me. They then gathered up our clothes and stuff whilst the hospital rang me back and said for me to go in and go to triage. As we were trying to work out what to do, as DP is a learner, I was clearly in no state to drive, and DD was with us as well so her aunt couldn't take us, the pain got so much worse. DD's aunt called for an ambulance, the person on the phone told me to lie down on the living room floor with nothing on me, and kept asking DP to check if he could see a head. I remember I kept apologising to her as it was just typical I would go into labour on the morning of her wedding... I choose my moments!

What seemed like a lifetime later, ambulance turned up with G&A. I was trying my hardest not to shout or scream as I didn't want DD to wake up and come down. Hardest thing ever! Lol. They took us to the hospital and we arrived at 6:10am. We were taken to a room and was left alone (I don't remember this much lol). Poor DP was beside himself but I remember him being very strong for me. I ended up scratching the hell out of him as I had long nails still which I was going to cut off after the wedding lol. I vaguely remember hitting him on the chest as well... Blush

My waters broke whilst we were there, and it was terrible. It literally exploded and covered the midwife a little. I felt so terrible!! But Myles was born at 6:56am and thank goodness it was quick! He weighed in at 5lb 14oz. DP cut the umbilical cord, and had even looked when Myles was crowning which he had sworn adamant that he wouldn't do as he was worried it'd freak him out too much.

The midwives were great, really took care of us. They discharged us at about 1pm so we could make it to the wedding which was going to start at 2pm. We didn't rush there though as I wanted to shower and rest a little first, so DD's aunt had left her key hidden in her garden and so we were able to sort ourselves out. We turned up at the wedding at about 3:30ish and had a wonderful day. DD was a bridesmaid so I really wanted to see her and she was so excited to see her brother. Everyone thought I was nuts for turning up and kept saying I didn't look like I had just given birth that morning. It's amazing what a hot shower and plenty of makeup will do. Plus I was running on pure adrenaline I think. Plus we were fed some amazing food! I got the photographer to take a photo of us as well so I can't wait to see that.

We came home on the Sunday and just been trying to get into a good routine (if that's even possible!) I can't stop staring at him and just want to keep cuddling him!!

Hope everyone else is well and I love seeing all the new babies popping up!! Shall catch up with everyone else news properly soon :)

WeeSooty · 04/10/2012 12:31

Congratulations to everyone on new arrivals! On phone so can't name check but can't believe how many cute wee babies we have.

I am naively very scared just now. Went to hospital at 5 this morning as contractions were 5 mins apart but as soon as I stepped out the house they stopped Angry was kinda relived as I didn't really expect so much pain (naive idiot emotion).

Midwife said its the latent phase and to go home and rest and eat. But keep being sick!! Anyone have any advice/words of comfort?

WeeSooty · 04/10/2012 12:35

O and I don't think it helped that midwife was totally unimpressed with me and I felt like she thought I was making it up and time wasting! Sad

Thumbwitch · 04/10/2012 12:35

Wow Bear, just amazing story!! Serious congratulations on making it to the wedding at all, that's everso impressive. Glad it all went so well for you :)

Thumbwitch · 04/10/2012 12:38

Weesooty - I was sick throughout labour with DS until they gave me an anti-emetic jab. I strongly believe that many MWs are trained to disbelieve you - the number of friends I have who have been told they're not in labour, only to be proven wrong - so ignore any silly faces she might have pulled or patronising attitude she has.

Go back in if the contractions start up again, but also phone them to ask about the sickness. They might let you go back just for the anti-emetic jab.

Bear1984 · 04/10/2012 13:07

WeeSooty that happened to me last week. I got them really badly about 4 minutes apart. DP rang hospital to say we were coming in, and got there and they had turned into BH. The midwife we had was nice though and had said it's like when you make a doctors appointment but by the time you get seen, your illness has cleared up. I kept being sick as well. Hope you don't have too much longer to wait x

Thumbwitch thanks! There were moments when I would just be like "what the hell am I doing here?" Lol. But it was so lovely, and we were mentioned by both the father of the bride and the groom in their speeches which set me off lol. And considering this wedding was my ex's sister and I know a lot of their family dislike me because I had split up with him, everyone was so nice and it was just a great way to celebrate his first day :)

Littleplasticpeople · 04/10/2012 13:32

Bear, what a story! I can't believe you made it to the wedding, you are amazing!

Weesooty, try not to worry about what is ahead (easier said than done I know). Just try to rest as much as you can now, when you go back to hospital be firm (or make sure someone is firm on your behalf) about wanting pain relief as and when you need it. Can't help with the puking, I'm sick the whole time due to hyperemesis so would just expect to be sick during labour too. Worth asking for the antiemetic though.

Due date tomorrow, no signs of anything happening physically, but emotionally I feel very insecure. Hard to explain, but very much needing to be at home in my own environment and not wanting to see people outside of my immediate family. I remember feeling similar just before ds was born so maybe there's something in it.

Gizzy - I totally understand when you were saying you need everything to be ready. We are due the same day, were your other dcs on time? I've had a due date baby and a 40+3.

GizzyBoo · 04/10/2012 18:47

God I hope so thumb....that would be quite nice!

Bear sounds like you did an excellent job of having a baby. Congratulations to you all. These wee ones are liking to make a dramatic entrance eh? Grin

I request mine gives me at least 3 hours notice as it takes that long to fill the pool Hmm

Weesooty I hope things progress on for you soon. Long latent phases are no fun.

Littleplasticpeople I have only gone into labour with 1 of the 3. #1 was induction at 40+2 for PIH. #3 was induction at 37+2 for being mahoosive. #2 was my only spontaneous labour and that was at 40+13 Confused
I'm hoping that now the boy is safely shipped off to Portugal I can relax and get on with having a baby!

Operation birth pool is finished. So now all we need is a baby!

newtonupontheheath · 04/10/2012 20:11

Bear I can't believe it... you still went to the wedding! Was everybody coo-ing over the baby? That's a fab story to tell him when he is older.... An I don't suppose you'll ever forget your DD's Aunt's anniversary!

LPP I had that feeling with DS too...haven't had it so far with this one... Confused

Urgh. Having an awful day.

DS didn't have a nap, but I was knackered so I asked DH to come home early/on time. He said he was popping into the garage to have the car checked out as he could hear a banging and then getting his haircut. I was so p**d off... I'm calmer now but just a bit sick of any excuse not to get home and pick up the slack with DS. I get the feeling that as I'm off work, I can sort out housework, DS, odd jobs and run errands (bread, milk etc)

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to have stuff to keep me busy and I enjoy pottering but I cleaned the house yesterday (voluntarily) and then this morning the kitchen looked like a shit tip from pots and plates not put in the dishwasher from dinner last night and his breakfast this morning. Clearly I have time to do this, as I'm not in work...WTF?!

So, the car apparently needs £1,000 of work doing on it.... It's not essential work but obviously, now DH knows about it, its "on his mind" But why take it to the garage in the first place, knowing we a) don't have any spare money to fix random banging noises and b) we are due a baby any day so he can't exactly go and take it to the garage to get the work done!!!

Cue me stomping off in tears because DH was too busy googling the problem to read DS a book. Then my mum popped round to drop DS's birthday presents off so now I think she thinks I'm depressed or something and is coming over to babysit me in the morning.

I feel much better now (especially after writing it down....) and all the crying has shook DH a bit to pull his finger out. He's not a bad guy, and I know he's fed up too but at least he's leaving the house and having non-baby related conversations....

Great.

Now DH definitely thinks I'm unhinged....

I have just read this thread Dealing with dropper inners and cried laughing

And then the article in this thread immediately after Why there's no need to hide when your DC are having their picture taken

Way too hormonal to function tonight........

bear wow!!!! Love how you woke up your other half! Grin So impressed at you making it to the wedding! What a fab birth story!!!

Well I'm feeling slightly calmer just now. Saw my own midwife today for routine appointment. She was lovely and made me feel much better about last night. I had a few contractions while I was in with her and she thinks we will have a baby by Monday at the latest. So that gives me some hope! She sent us away with strict instructions to chill, eat well and rest up.

I'm contracting pretty regularly just now and just had my show so feel at least something is happening. Scared but hoping its over soon!!

Hope everyone else is ok :)

39+1 today and my last day at work tomorrow! Had a sweep today, she managed to do it and said my cervix was soft and spongy (nice) but still quite posterior. Had a few twinges since but nothing too exciting so I don't think it did anything :-(

Just sent dh out for chips with chilli sauce, will pay for that later with heart burn but hey ho!
