January 2013 part 6: the one where all the babies arrive to join their friends who escaped early!

[BuntysFestiveCollocks]

New thread as the other one is nearly full !

Our next baby should be pmgkt's, but I won't if any little cheeky monkey will sneak in before Thursday?

i have had a cry this morning, oh and yesterday to. i feel ill and fed up. best wishes to those with contractions x

I've cried too all morning! Wish I could snap out of this mood!

Sorry ur feeling it too...although also glad its not me going mad!
Just ham a shower n got dressed,heading out for a little potter round t local shops to try n lift my mood.
Dont think the grey sky is helping!x

Congratulations ton tiny, pmgkt, Prickly, bohoec, mrsbugs, and Ari.

Sorry to hear about your loss, doll.

Hope you're hanging in there bunty.

Been lurking but not much posting recently, with the rush up to Christmas. Had a lovely time over Christmas, but really glad I can sit back and relax and enjoy maternity leave now. Hoping the little one doesn't arrive for a few weeks yet, so I have a chance to get organised! Still, the bag is packed and waiting...

Sorry everyone is feeling so miserable. I'm just feeling completely wiped out....

My colleague had her baby yesterday and she was due a week before me (although she had an ELCS). Making it pretty real now!!

Brought the Moses basket in from the car the other day as I was fed up of not being able to use my car properly (it's been in there for 6 weeks). Hubby had a little freak out so it's now covered with a towel!

Our gorgeous girl, Cameron, was born today at 1.29pm after 34 hours in labour(!) using nothing more than paracetamol and gas and air. Pool was dirty so no waterbirth available until I was so far gone I couldn't move! Brilliant experience, but we are definitely done!

Will write birth story in what will probably be the wee small hours. She has done nothing but feed since her arrival!

Hooray Bunty, massive congratulations. Lovely name too

Yay bunty you did it! Like the name. Congratulations x

Congratulations Bunty! And congratulations to every one else who's had their babies too! Is Edward the only boy so far?

Sorry that everyone's feeling shitty, it'll all be worth it soon I'm sure.

Starting to feel a bit real now. Got the crib all set up in our bedroom and I need to get some bras and have my hair cut and then I'm 'ready'. So scary to think that this time next month I'll have a baby!

Been reading about labour and childbirth obsessively the last few days, and have surprisingly not scared myself too much yet!

Well done bunty!

congrats bunty - lovely name!
looking forward to the birth story....

who's next??

congratulations bunty! fab name and well done!!

Congrats Bunty!! I love that name but hubby said no for us. Glad she has arrived safely

Aw yey! Well done Bunty x x x (im happy again now!)

Yay Bunty!!! congratulations dear. what a lovely name. I'm sure you're making the most of your first cuddles. it sounds like you did amazingly on just gas and air for all that time.

I don't understand why they tell you to take paracetemol, it didn't make a dent on the pain for me. Gas and air on the other hand is sent from the gods. DP reminded me today that whilst under the influence of G&A and pushing away I announced I felt just like boudicca and I should have had a chariot

Yay Bunty - massive congratulations!! Gorgeous name and am so impressed that all you had was gas and air and paracetamol after 34 hours!!!

Prickly haha, love your G&A story, that and Bunty's fab news has massively cheered me up!!

xxx

Prickly my first labour was fast and intense and I went through so much gas and air I honestly thought I was on a roller coaster eating a mcdonalds cheese burger! It is my only clear memory of having ds1! I ended up being sick all day after with a gas and air hangover!

IMO does nothing for pain but gives you something else to focus on!

Am quite at all the babies as I am truly ready to meet this baby and move on!

Wow. Huge congrats Bunty and welcome Cameron. I have been thinking of you non stop. 34 hours labour on paracetamol and gas and air. You deserve a New Year's honour! Do tell the full birth story when you are strong enough for it. Am loving the gas and air stories.

Good luck to Birdies and Pascha (EDD tomorrow) and anyone who starts feeling twinges. I'm being induced on New Year's Eve and not a twinge in sight. Have been drinking raspberry leaf tea, eating pineapple and am going for a walk tomorrow. Sod the sciatica, will walk as far as I can to bring on labour naturally!!!

Hurrah Bunty you got there in the end! Congratulations Aritoo. Both beautiful babies and names. I'm very jealous now. Due date is tomorrow.

Who's next? Sanam I just saw your 4am post so maybe you will have some news overnight. Birdie is due tomorrow too and did I read somewhere that Marasme is going in on monday?

Anyone brave enough to share a pic yet to spur us all on?

Congratulations Bunty ! I love the name too
My, what a lot of girls we seem to be having!

Edward is our only boy, by the way. For some reason he is down as his middle name, Oliver, on the list but I've amended my copy and will put the correct version up next time someone has a baby...

Congratulations bunty! Finally out.. Too jealous.

Is anyone else finding it painful to sit up? If I'm not lying down she goes up into my ribs. Worried she's gone breech again :/ lying down all day is not convenient and I'm back at work next week

Help! Think am having a show and can't remember if this happened last time! TMI it's just a little bloody mucus when I wipe sometimes. I can't remember if this happened with dd. I know it didn't with ds1 (induced) and I do remember losing mucus plug with ds2 but it was very clear it was my plug and ds2 arrived a day or so later. Have looked this up and seems this could be a precurser to things happening but also that it could be weeks yet.

Anyone else experienced this!? A bit panicked as haven't got car sear yet!

Apple I cannot advise, and I am too scared to google!
I hope it is whatever you wish (either "it" for an early eviction, or yet another preg symptom if you want the LO to stay put a wee bit longer)

Pascha - yes, going in on Monday. Bricking it a bit. I was at work again today, and it feels like a way to further my total denial of the situation.

I finally got the baby stuff out yesterday, and will start the newborn clothes laundry tonight. And will maybe also get to do my bag
I don't think I was that much in denial last time. All I can think, if I think about it, is "shit, by Tuesday, I'll be with a helpless tiny little baby, breastfeeding, struggling with scar, constipation, pain etc".

They told me at the pre-op that they do not give morphine by PCA (handheld self-operated pump thingy) anymore - instead, they give a supository for the pain. now.... [TMI]... I have bad haemorroids - I suppose it is nothing they have not seen, but still? .
And apparently, I will be taught to self-inject the blood thinners - it was all done for me last time!

DH is in denial too.

Oh god - just thinking about it makes me feel sick.

Apple I have googled.
I will have learnt sthg today :)

It looks like it could be it?
