I'm going to be sad when everyone has their babies!! Maybe we need a new thread to continue as babies grow up!!

hanna87 · 31/12/2017 00:41

@ziggzagg and @Maybebaby2 gorgeous babies 😘

@rememberpurpleronnie and @Isabeau1980
congratulations 🍾🥂🎉 

@stripeysocks3 let us know how things go!

& @Waitingonasmile i think you could be right! Due on the 2nd so anytime now i guess!!!

Xx

rememberpurpleronnie · 31/12/2017 03:48

I just needed a single pessary and started crying Myra to my every 2minutes for 1 minute duration. I did that for a while with no progress on the dilation front- then my waters broke spontaneously and baby was here about 15minutes later! So listen to your body as the midwife was telling me I was wrong but I knew she was minutes away from being born. She was my second which apparently can speed the whole process up- just wasn't expecting to that extent!! GrinSmile

rememberpurpleronnie · 31/12/2017 03:49

Contracting not crying Myra- apologies

stripeysocks3 · 31/12/2017 05:15

Been here since 10pm last night as trying for a vbac. Hats off to anyone who can do this drug free! I'm a wimp

Waitingonasmile · 31/12/2017 05:33

Wow sounds super quick @rememberpurpleronnie ! Congratulations!!!

Good luck @stripeysocks3 !! ThanksWhat was your due date?

Lollipop30 · 31/12/2017 05:45

@stripysocks3
What’s the latest? Having exactly the same except I’m still at home writhing around in pain. Waiting to see if they get closer. No idea what to do but don’t really fancy having this baby on the bedroom floor!

Waitingonasmile · 31/12/2017 05:53

Good luck @Lollipop30 !!! How far along are you?

Lollipop30 · 31/12/2017 06:01

Was due 27th so just over! Really want this to either hurry up or go away though!!

Maybebaby2 · 31/12/2017 08:20

@rememberpurpleronnie I was similar the pessery stsrted things off very quickly, I'd been expecting to be there all night and for nothing to happen. Had the pessery in for 2 hours, was happily sat watching a movie on phone and had sent dh home. My contractions came suddenly and strong but baby got over stimulated and went into a bit of distress so they whipped the pessery out and she stabilized. I then tried to labour naturally for a few hours, they broke my waters then a bit later gave me a sweep but my contractions were slowing down. I think the pessery had left some hormones in me but was wearing off. I did need the drip in the end but she was born 2.5 hours after the drip went in. In the end it was 14 hours after pessery had gone in but I think would have been much quicker if pessery had been able to stay in. Still wasn't too long in all. I was just so surprise the pessery worked because all doctors and midwives had said nothing might happen for 24 hours!

Good luck @stripeysocks3 and @Lollipop30 hope things are moving along and we have some more lovely baby news soon xx

@ziggzagg good idea about having another thread to coninue after our babies are here Smile

Seven0fNine · 31/12/2017 08:39

Awww @maybebaby2 she is gorgeous!! Glad it all went well.
We are booked in for a c section on the 17th Jan due to low lying placenta.
Seems like ages away and all these Jan babes are coming early!

reetgood · 31/12/2017 09:22

My waters went at 4.30am this morning, thankful we put on a waterproof undersheet! Mild contractions started by time homebirth midwife arrived to assess (small team so they tend to want to know where people are at). He had also engaged, which was helpful as he hadn’t 3 days ago! Midwife advised sleep if I could, and although it took a while, I think I managed an hour or so. Was woken from a dream about giving birth by a contraction :) currently tracking where I’m at with frequency now am awake. Would describe intensity as period pain so reckon I have a while yet... question is, New Year’s Day or New Year’s Eve baby?

Waitingonasmile · 31/12/2017 09:49

Wow so exciting @reetgood !!!! Hope it's a quick one for you. Keep us updated Smile I say it'll be today ...just.

stripeysocks3 · 31/12/2017 19:27

Had my baby at 10:30 this morning! Was due on the 3rd! Went from 6cm to 10cm in half an hour and pushed for 5 mins! Could not be happier Gringood luck to everyone!

millsbynight · 31/12/2017 19:41

Congratulations @stripeysocks3 !!! Wow from zero to hero so quickly and just in time for the end of the year!

@reetgood thinking of you!

Congratulations @stripeysocks3 Smile!

reetgood · 31/12/2017 21:06

Congrats @stripeysocks! I have stalled, boooo. Currently trying to decide what to do - trust guidelines are 24 hours after waters breaking they want to induce due to possible risk of infection. Nice guidelines are 48 hours. My gut is to continue labouring at home, and get some sleep tonight (my contractions have virtually stopped!). Thing is if I go to 48 hours without active labour, I’m still going to have to do induction after that. I think my decision will depend on how things progress, and how much sleep I get!

Lollipop30 · 01/01/2018 04:03

We have a very large pink bundle here!! She arrived 6:30 last night so just in 2017! Bit of a drawn out one but we’re both well. Good luck all you January’s xx

FirsttimemumJan18 · 01/01/2018 04:10

@Maybebaby2 We were lucky enough to get home for Christmas. Cluster feeding is doing my head in at the moment but I don't really mind since he's gaining weight so well.

ForumUsername · 01/01/2018 13:56

Happy New Year everyone

Massive congratulations to all the 2017 arrivals
And looking forward to hearing about all the 2018 arrivals

Can't wait to meet our bundle later this month 👶🏻

StylishDuck · 01/01/2018 14:58

Congratulations @Lollipop30 and @stripeysocks3 Thanks I'm so jealous! Wish mine would get a move on! Envy

Maybebaby2 · 01/01/2018 15:39

Congratulations @stripeysocks3 and @Lollipop30! Wonderful news! It's so exciting so many babies are starting to arrive now, I love it, so happy for everyone!

@reetgood hope things started to progress for you, keep us posted with any news.

@Seven0fNine I had that but it had moved by 34 weeks, are the certain yours wont move between now and the 17th, how many weeks are you now?

@Isabeau1980 that's great you were home for Christmas! I've not experienced cluster feeding yet, when did that kick in for you, how often is baby feeding and is it just at certain times of day?

I'm doing ok with the feeding, baby is 4 days old and we're feeding every 3 hours. She has to be woken which takes a good 10 mins, shes latching on well but then falls asleep after about 8 mins of feeding, so I have to wake her again for another go. So each feed including change of nappy is taking about an hour, she's getting about 16 mins of actual feeding in that time! So then only 2 hours till it starts over again. She is awake and alert in between feeds, just not when she's feeding! I have tried to feed when she's awake but she still falls asleep after 8 mins. Lots of wet and dirty nappies so I'm not concerned she's not getting enough and my milk is definitely coming through.
