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?

Bugsy - I hope things will get going on their own for you.
Last time round, I had a non-engaged baby at 40+14, and received conflicting "advice" from no less than 7 doctors and at least as many midwives.
It ranged from the anecdotal to the evidence-based, and from the appeasing to the scarily frightening.

At the end of it, I would have loved for nature to make a decision there and then and things to kick off! [I went against consultant's opinion in the end, and with what the midwives were advising - consultant was not impressed]

I hope you will have a restful night, and that things will be clearer in the morning!

Otherwise, still at work over the WE and probably for a short stint on Monday too. Not really fancying it though. I have a bad cold at the moment too, and the bag is still not ready (nor is the nursery, nor our "dust situation")

All my colleagues left for hols today - got nothing for mat leave, no presentation, but my fat pile of stuff to mark and tons of the usual choccie boxes that my students always give me and which are much appreciated nonetheless!.

Hoping for a quiet few days (beside work) with DD not kicking off big time now nursery is off and she can taunt mummy full time.

Bohoec - hope all is progressing well!

mrsbugsy it sounds like its going to happen anyway if they stop the codeine. so as long as you're monitored then that must be ok. Also if they were really worried I'm sure they would have insisted on an induction. Try to get some sleep. If you can't sleep, don't worry about it, just resting is almost as good and once you've got your precious babba back home you will be in nicer surroundings to get some naps together.

Looking forward to hearing your news!

What a day. I have been really unwell, being sick, and almost lossing consiousness, luckily Hubby was here so took little man for 4 whole hours and I slept. After tablets and injections I feel loads better.

I hope all is better pgmt - what injections did you get?
It sounds serious!

It's an anti sickness one, but they don't like to use it too much, but it is excellent and making you feel so much better.

i remember being dead sick after my C-section last time - everytime I pressed on the morphine PCA, I spent the following 20 minutes puking my guts up. Not nice. Glad you got the shots (I only had it once - and yes, it was lovely!).

Hope they are giving you plenty of peppermint tea for your bowels too!

Had growth scan today, all fine with growth of baby but fluid around the baby is low so they have booked me in for another scan next thur and will look to induce if fluid has not gone back up, trying not worry too much as 37 + 2 today.

I'm in the can't sleep club btw!

Hope everyone is okay x

Congrats to pmgkt on your new arrival.

And good luck to the girls whose waters have broken.

I had a bit of a freekout last night, woke at 2am was sure I could hear popping noises from bump and then felt really strange pulsing every few seconds which lasted about half an hour. Then got really sharp pains down below and entire bump seemed to hurt.

Have called hospital, they have said to take paracetemol and lie on my left side and call them in an hour. Eck! Pain seems to be settling, but all I could think was im not ready yet!

Hope ur all doing ok.

If I get "any twinges?" From my mother in law one more time, I think I'm going to scream!! It could take up to 4 weeks for this Baby to come out and even if I was having twinges, I wouldn't be telling her!!! Living with them has been fine but it's now 3 weeks and I want in my little housey for Xmas

Oh happy poor you. Hope you get in your house soon, is there much left to do? You really need your own space at this point and there is nothing worse when heavily pg than having well meaning people constantly checking on your 'twinges'!

I get a bit of this at school, all the teachers and mums seem to have become obsessed with due date - they all have children and know there is little chance baby will actually arrive on due date though I tell everyone I am due 5 days later than I am

Aggh the due date thing! When people ask me when I'm due, I now say "in a month". I then get "yes, but when". I reply "I'm not telling anyone". Cue faces.

Hi gang.

We've had little girl (didn't know what we were having!). She's amazing!

Less than 12 hours from first twinge after waters breaking to delivery at 37+4 weeks! 6lbs 8. It all happened so quickly, I didn't even get time for pain relief!! Started on some gas & air when I was almost fully dilated

Stocked up when I was stitched back together though!

Bunny - hope everything was ok the other night?

Wow congratulations bohoec! That sounds v quick. Hope you and your little girl are doing well :)

Bunny and mrsbugsy how are you both doing? Hope all ok.

Congratultions bohoec. Well done she a good weight too and just in time for xmas!

To all those who are niggling hope things kick off for you soon!

not that I am jealous and now completly fed up of being pg

Just received letter from hospital in the post, dated 19 Dec, telling me my appointment on the 19 Dec is cancelled and they are moving it to the New Year.

Useless. good job I didn't go anyway

Congratulations bohoec! How exciting!

congrats bohec have you decided on a name x

Wow congrats bohoec!! That sounds like a lovely birth as well.

Wonder how bugsy is getting on. And bunny

pmgkt that sounds horrible, glad you feel better now.

Congrats bohoec, hope you are both doing well and enjoying the cuddles Xx

Congratulations to everyone who has had their babies! I can't believe we have so many December babes on a January thread!

I'm not really niggly at all. Just achy, very large and very pregnant feeling. I think I am having a January baby!

Congrats Bohoec!!

Apples, we should be in the house tomorrow/Monday. We have more to do but it can be sorted in the new year dependent on when Baby arrives. Going to be doing a lot of tidying/cleaning tomorrow...

Upsettingly, despite B&Q having their trees half price, hubby refused to buy one because it looked too small therefore, we will have no nice Xmas tree in our new bay window!! Where are the presents supposed to go?!

Yay, congrats Bonhoec ....hope you and your wee bundle of joy are doing well x

Congrats bohoec what a lovely Christmas present enjoy your cuddles and Christmas x

Congratulations Bohoec! Enjoy the Christmas snuggles with your newborn.
