@Maybebaby2 It started last night. He ate pretty much constantly from 20.00 to 23.30. There's a growth spurt around 2 weeks so I'm putting it down to that.

Mortigua · 01/01/2018 16:17

Hi everyone. I think I joined you months back but am way behind now. Congratulations to those who have has their babies!
I'm 38+2 (3rd baby) . Griping period type pains for a few days that come and go but they are too all over the place to be contractions. Today my back and pelvic area just ache on and off but mostly on! Argh it means nothing though I know and still could be weeks! Anyone else completely fed up?

Lollipop30 · 01/01/2018 18:02

@Mortigua That was same for me too and she’s our third. Rest up it may be the start of something! Apparently I was actually only in labour 2hrs but the early stuff went on ages like yours.

Mortigua · 01/01/2018 18:06

Thanks Lollipop that's good to hear as it feels endless. I'm still early of course but can't help but get my hopes up. Ive had pelvic pain and its hard to tell whats what but some definite peruiody feelings gking on. Congratulations on the birth of your little girl!

Mortigua · 01/01/2018 18:08

Been lying down and they didn't go but aren't getting any more painful either just the same

Waitingonasmile · 01/01/2018 18:44

Hope feeds get shorter so you can get more sleep @Maybebaby2 !

@Mortigua I'm 38+6 and fed up too. No sign of anything happening so looks like it'll be section a week tomorrow. Fingers crossed your cramps amount to something soon!

Mortigua · 01/01/2018 18:51

Thanks Waitingonasmile. It's hard work isn't it! I've been told I could potentially ask for induction at term due to previous issues but hoping I don't have to get to that point. Feels like it will never happen though! Think they've tailed off again.

MegRam · 01/01/2018 23:29

Another New Year baby here! Our girl entered the world at 3.37am this morning, making her the hospitals first for 2018!

She was 9lbs 6oz - I managed the whole thing with Gas and Air alone (always my plan) but I've ended up with a third degree tear and spent the morning in surgery getting sown up!

She's worth every bit though. xx

reetgood · 02/01/2018 04:20

So we had an Exciting Time. Waters going early, stop start labour. Went over local trust guidelines of inducing 24 hours after waters breaking, to give us a chance he’d arrive on his own within nice 48 hour guidelines.

We were at home until 30 hours and 3cm dilation when meconium strikes. Went straight to hospital, had wireless monitoring and got to 9cm with trusty tens machine within 36 hours.

At this point, they realise that what everyone had thought was a bum, was a head. He was breech all along. 😳Having not had much sleep in 36 hours, we opted for caesarean. Very glad we did as turns out he was breech and almost 9lb. Poor young midwife who was with us was extremely upset to have missed it: the fact that every other professional who examined me bar her supervisor missed it too I think gives her a pass! And only caught when I was 9cm dilated.

Typing this with boy lying on my chest, in maternity ward at lgi. He is very cute and I feel pretty positive about the whole thing. Hurrah for meconium: much rather discover breech in hospital, with options, then blue light from home...

Issywizzybelle · 02/01/2018 04:41

Hiya!!

Haven’t been on much but our little girl Elva Rae arrived on the 30th after me being induced on 29th due to high levels of OC (37+4) Went home following morning and just getting the hang of breastfeeding without needing to use syringe

Waitingonasmile · 02/01/2018 04:57

Wow lots of babies and it's only 2nd Jan. Congratulations @MegRam , @Issywizzybelle and @reetgood !!  Hope you are all recovering well and get home with your babies soon. Can't believe no one had noticed baby was breach @reetgood Shock.

39 weeks today and not even a cramp or twinge to over analyse! Baby is clearly going to remain happy in there until forged out.

Been awake since 3.30 [santa][santa][santa]Angry

Jeezypeepers · 02/01/2018 06:10

Hi all, I know it’s a bit late and you’re obviously a really established and close group already; but I was hoping you might let me join? I’ve only just stumbled upon this thread and I’m due my baby girl on the 26th January.

Do you have a facebook group set up as well? Massive congratulations to those of you who’ve already delivered! Flowers xx

Mummyme87 · 02/01/2018 08:49

Glad all is well reetgood breeches can be difficult to feel, been there myself! Felt very much like a head until I could see a bum coming!

38+1 today, feeling bleugh today. Headache, bunged up nose, sore throat plus the pregnancy aches and pains. OH back to work so just me and the 3yr old at home 😐 plans for today, write birthplan, pack hospital bag and keep on with washing!

Hotpinkangel19 · 02/01/2018 08:57

So things aren't going to plan here ☹️ my baby's growth hasn't really changed in the last 3ish weeks, so the consultant has requested I am induced on my due date on Saturday - I'm terrified of induction 😳 Tried a sweep last night but cervix is not really ready.

Seven0fNine · 02/01/2018 08:58

@maybebaby2 I've had two scans and it was still only 1cm away from the cervix and they want it to be 2.5cm. Was gutted at first but ok about it now. The baby has coincidentally now flipped and is breech so looks like it's meant to be!!

Can't believe how many babies have come so early!!

Waitingonasmile · 02/01/2018 10:12

Hi @Jeezypeepers . Hope you are keeping well and not suffering too much at this stage. There is a Facebook group but it's been closed since the first baby arrived a while ago.

Oh no @Hotpinkangel19 that's such a shame. Fingers crossed it's a quick induction process and baby will be here quickly.

Well husband is home on the 4th so looks like he will definitely make this birth after missing the last one. Has been a long month with toddler and so pregnant and I'll be glad of the support.

StylishDuck · 02/01/2018 10:26

Congratulations @MegRam @Issywizzybelle and @reetgood ! Babies are coming thick & fast now.

Sorry to hear things aren't going the way you want @Hotpinkangel19 . I had an induction with my first due to reduced movement and although it was intense (contractions started very quickly after the 3rd pessary) it wasn't anywhere near as bad as some stories I'd heard about induction.

Glad your DH should hopefully make it on time @Waitingonasmile ! I can't imagine having to contemplate going through that without my DH.

MegRam · 02/01/2018 11:03

@Hotpinkangel19 I was terrified of induction too, and was pretty devastated when they told me last week I'd need one. It actually went really well, and was MUCH quicker than expected. Stay positive - you can smash it whatever comes your way xx

ForumUsername · 02/01/2018 12:52

It's so exciting hearing about all the arrivals 😍

I'm feeling rather sorry for my self
Have a rotten cough yesterday and today and didn't get much sleep
I wanted to just chill for the last few weeks and try to enjoy being pregnant
It's shit not feeling well on top of being to feel proper huge and uncomfortable

Hotpinkangel19 · 02/01/2018 14:20

Thank you @MegRam and congratulations!

Mortigua · 02/01/2018 15:31

Feel your pain with the cough forumusername. I've had one too and it does add insult to injury as I alsonwet myself when I cough or sneeze so have to wear a pad at all times!
I'm struggling today again. Crampy pains have gone again and I think I had got my hopes up. I feel like it's never going to happen and just bit DH's head off when he said it's still 12 days before due date( it's 11!) My PGP is back with a vengeance and I feel sick and generally awful. Keep being paranoid over baby movements too and worrying myself silly!

WLMcI · 02/01/2018 21:22

Hi guys, sorry for leaving you all hanging! Our gorgeous girl was born on the 28th via C-section, at 7lbs 1oz and 21.5 inches long, not a petite babe after all! She's doing really well, and I'm healthy too (although rather sore and not able to do much). We're just so thrilled to have her with us at last!

@maybebaby I am in exactly the same boat with cluster feeds and the LO falling asleep after only taking 1 side. The night time cluster feeds are normal for newborns, apparently baby is synced up with your milk production which peaks at 2am so it's how they make the most of it! And my girl is already back up to only 1 percent below birth weight at day 5, so clearly she's getting enough even though it takes her ages to complete what amounts to a short feed! X

January babies #6 - waddling in to the 3rd trimester!
FirsttimemumJan18 · 03/01/2018 02:45

Congratulations to all the 2018 babies so far! I go in for my induction on Friday @ 39 Weeks and a little nervous but very excited indeed to finally meet our little girl, she’s expected to be approx 9Lbs. I have to say it’s been nice reading all the positive stories on here, as to be honest I’ve been a bit sick & tired of friends & Family tagging me on Facebook posts of the down sides of parenting, newborns etc!😡, although I’m sure it’s only ‘Banter’ so thank you all for re-installing my faith in humanity! Good luck to all those due in the coming days x

Waitingonasmile · 03/01/2018 06:32

Congratulations @WLMcI !!!! I hope your recovery is quick.

Can't wait for the sickness to end!! Today is a particularly bad day. Sad

MegRam · 03/01/2018 07:20

@Maybebaby2 - what are you doing to wake your LO before and during feeds? We're only just starting day 3 (my milk hasn't come in yet) but she's still very sleepy (MWs say normal) and it's a struggle getting her alert enough to maintain a latch.

Coming up to 72 hours since I last woke from sleeping - with birth and surgery afterwards in that time! Feeling pretty tired!
