July 2015 (thread 11) - ok, babies, you can come now!

[broodylicious]

Babies, babies everywhere!

I am an end of June baby, so almost!

Good luck everyone!

Yey sparkly! And what a cutie - many congratulations!

Sounds a bit promising lala fx

broody well there's not much I can do about it now and I'm trying to think fluffy oxytocin thoughts . But yes, I am quite annoyed. I will start taking the 2 tablets on the basis that I will need the iron for me, rather than their rules. The tablets contain the most enormous amount of iron and I would be gobsmacked if they have no effect! That would surely mean that the iron would be barely absorbed, in which case, why do they not prescribe something that can be absorbed better if it's that important!? It makes no sense to me at all.

DF dropped something into the conversation yesterday which suggests he might not approve of our name choice (not that I told him the name, but it was a general remark about the sort of names that are appropriate). It hurts as I still like to have parental approval on things, even though I should really hold my head up and think it's my adult choice now and I can do what I think is best for my child. Trying to forget about that too!!!

Sorry for the moans, folks, when there is so much happy news to report!

Hi all, another July baby here but my birthday isn't until the end of July so there was no chance of a clash.

I am pleased to report that Jessica Anna Rennie arrived by elcs on Wednesday morning weighing 8lb 3 which would explain why I was so uncomfortable with my small bump.

She has quite a pair of lungs on her and hasn't stopped feeding since she arrived which is painful but good news as it should bring my milk in more quickly. I managed to get home last night after 1 night which was a massive relief.

Hope everyone is doing ok and welcome to all the new babies!

Congrats purple love the name!

Another July baby here
Chloe Rose arrived at 7pm very quickly in the end..my DH had only been there an hour!!
8lb3oz so a good size we are home now and trying to rest

Congrats on returning home with your little bubba Captain.

Well done JoY, you did it!!! Brilliant news, was fab to have your updates along the way. And happy birthday.

And to you Sparkly, lovely pic and another cutie named Sebastian.

Ooh nature hope they get things sorted for you, especially as you've had a tough few days before a potential induction to kick start labouring.

I have my fingers crossed you can have the births you were hoping for small and broody. And keep us posted Lala!!

Oooh and just snuck in... Yeah to you too Purple!

this really is the babies, babies everywhere thread

and Tilly blimey!! what a day for birth announcements... any more for any more?!?!

Congratulations purple So pleased for you.

And Tilly another perfect bundle arrived! Congratulations.

Congratulations to all those with new arrivals , and their gorgeous names! We still haven't decided on names , flapping bit now ! Due on Sunday and being induced that day too , due to being 40 ...oh the joy..

I have just seen some photos of myself taken yesterday and am shocked at how big I am , I hope it's just the angle and the dress I had on because it looks like I am going to ge having a 12 pounder otherwise.

Hope everyone else is well, and smiling, we are all nearly there...

Another arrival! Baby Theo by Csection this morning (38+5) weighing 7lb 11oz.
Feeding well, lots of hair and can't stop staring at him!!

No way!

Congrats tilly and number

small, I have had to start taking my iron with orange juice like the mw originally told me to - it gives me bad indigestion and nausea until I can eat after an hour but like you say, it's for my own recovery purposes so I want to try the best I can. Quite enjoying the steak eating bit of the plan though

Hurrah number3 Congratulations! So exciting and love the name.

Yay! Congratulations number!!

broody I've been doing that with orange juice since the beginning and topping up with double Spatone sachets as well. But on 2 tablets now like a good girl.

Wow
Love & many congratulations Purple, Tilly & Number and welcome to the world babies, Jessica, Chloe & Theo beautiful names.

10/7 is proving very popular indeed - hope it keeps going.

Enjoy your newborn snuggles xx

So many arrivals! I am going to be the only one left by the end of July. Glue, I'm also 40 but probably going to refuse induction if LO hasn't made an appearance by then. Hope yours goes well.

I'm actually an August baby, but as I'm not due until 28th July I'm another who could go very close to my own birthday. How odd that so many of us are due around birthdays.

One more week at work. Looking forward to finishing but glad it has kept me busy. Was in for my weekly scan and monitoring this morning, all well although so far I'd say LO is having a quieter day. I know all was well though so don't think it's anything other than the crazy busy day I had. It's usually around this time the party really gets started though so lets see.

Oh I had (TMI) slightly dodgy bowels yesterday but they don't appear to have been a precursor to anything labour related as yet. I'm actually hoping to get quite close to due date as I want my week off before the new arrival :)

Oh whoops I didn't actually say congratulations for the new babies . So CONGRATULATIONS

Argh my last set of bloods have come back and are obviously worse as they are monitoring baby for 30 mins and then I'm being induced!

Congratulations Tilly x

I know it wasn't your plan Nature but soon you'll be holding your precious bundle :) good luck woohoo :)

Being induced on Tuesday at 39+2 & this being my first...sooo nervous but very excited. Eeeeek! Congrats to all you lovely ladies who've had your beautiful LO's.

Arete I'm happy to go with the flow They seem to think they can skip the pessary so that's a positive

Congratulations Tilly, lovely name (the same as my dd1)!

And congrats again to Number, what a busy day!

I think I missed Joy's and Sparkly's news as well so congratulations to both of you. It won't be long before all our babies are here!
