@Waitingonasmile I was reluctant to get nipple shields in case it affected her latching but I think I might have to because it's starting to become too painful! Where have you got yours from?

Waitingonasmile · 11/01/2018 16:52

@Maybebaby2 I just ordered Medela ones from Amazon.

Allmychildrenhavepaws · 11/01/2018 17:40

At what point should i go to hospital? Midwife said when contractions are for 1 min every 3 mins for an hour...but i am having tp get a taxi there, who could be 20-30 mins late, not to mention possolibke traffic on the 15 mile journey there! What if i leave it too late and end up either having him at home infront of my toddler, or in the bloody taxi!? Dont know what to do...when would everyone else go in?

PurplePoppySeed · 11/01/2018 18:23

@Allmychildrenhavepaws I would go sooner than that if I were you. Both in NCT last time and daisy birthing this time, they've recommended that if you are turned away just go for a walk around the hospital, bounce up and down the stairs etc and then go back! Better to be there and walking around the hospital than at home with no hope of making it! Maybe go it's they're between 5-10 mins apart as long as they are also long contractions?

PurplePoppySeed · 11/01/2018 18:26

I've just spend the day in hospital having a trace just so I could see a dr about my labour not progressing! I've had a month now of false starts, contractions get going over an evening but then I end up in so much pain I go and lie down and everything stops! CTG unsurprisingly showed everything fine but have been given dihydrocodeine for the pain! Took one at 3.30 and OMG it's amazing! How have I got through 41+ weeks with PGP and not had it before!!! Bloody awesome! I can walk again! Fingers crossed it'll help things progress if I can move now!

Maybebaby2 · 11/01/2018 18:50

Thanks @Waitingonasmile I'll have a look for those ones too.

@Allmychildrenhavepaws I would agree with PurplePoppySeed and say get there sooner rather than later. One of my fears was that I'd end up giving birth in the back of a taxi! I ended up being induced which was great because it was calm and controlled and not a panic to get to hospital but if I hadn't been induced and gone into labour naturally I definitely would have been calling taxi when contractions were at the most 10 mins apart.

@PurplePoppySeed fab that you've now got something for the pain but sorry you've had to suffer with the PGP for so long before getting it! Hope things start to move quicker for you now 🤞

ndo4000 · 11/01/2018 19:14

Well ive had a very busy day!

Lots of tightenings and niggles since Sunday and then today baby Vesper arrived! 9lbs 2oz born at home.

We are thrilled to bits!!

Currently sitting in bed with bubs fast asleep on me after a big feed. Glass of bubbly and awaiting a sushi takeaway!

cheshiremama89 · 11/01/2018 19:16

@ndo4000 omg! Sounds like heaven!
Congratulations and what a beautiful name!!!! Xx

ndo4000 · 11/01/2018 19:19

Thank you!!! Grin

Mortigua · 11/01/2018 19:21

Congratulations ndo4000 that's brilliant!
Bubbly and sushi, doing it in style too!

Had pains last night till I fell asleep then barely anything since. Enough now!Going to ask about induction at 41 weeks as local policy is 42 here unless there is a reason but I had been told due to previous stuff I can request after 40 weeks. I regret not asking to book a date in now as I'm worried that it will take ages to get organised !

PurplePoppySeed · 11/01/2018 19:45

Congratulations ndo great news xxx

Thanks maybebaby xx

rubymae369 · 11/01/2018 19:53

StylishDuck · 11/01/2018 20:07

Congratulations @ndo4000 ! I like the cut of your jib Grin

Just arrived at hospital for induction. Not sure yet if I'll get the 1st pessary tonight or first thing. Anxious to get going now tbh. I forgot how warm it was in hospital!

Iamchanging · 11/01/2018 20:27

Hi all,
Not sure if you remember me but I was on this board until my baby was sadly stillborn at 26 weeks. Just wanted to say congratulations to you all on your new arrivals/ arrivals to be x

Maybebaby2 · 11/01/2018 21:56

Maybebaby2 · 11/01/2018 22:01

Ruthcarr1990 · 12/01/2018 04:19

Iamchanging · 12/01/2018 04:46

Thanks maybe. Good days and bad days as I'm sure you can imagine but we are surviving and hoping that our time will come one day soon. X

Waitingonasmile · 12/01/2018 10:08

@Iamchanging Hope and pray you get your rainbow baby and are healing as well you possibly can. Thanks

Waitingonasmile · 12/01/2018 10:09

Good luck @Ruthcarr1990 ! I found my elective a really positive experience. Hope it's goes well.

hanna87 · 12/01/2018 10:33

Congratulations 🎉 on the new arrivals ladies.. so exciting!!!

Sorry have been awol but I've delivered a little baby girl on Saturday 6th at 5.33pm, weighing 3.62kg who we have named Anaya 😊!

Unfortunately we had an awful experience through Queen Charlottes through the labor..

My pains started on the Friday morning..and carried on through the night. When the contractions were 10 mins apart, we contacted the birth centre who told us not to go in until they were 3mins apart.

there were a few errors on the hospitals part that day so things got complicated..got to triage with contractions every 3 mins on Saturday morning at 7 am...triage thought i was 10cm and sent me upstairs to start pushing..an hour later I asked to be assesed as something didn’t feel right.. turns out I was 5cm. Eventually got to 3pm, when we discovered that baby was not in a good angle for an intervention free birth and baby and i were in a great deal of distress so rushed to theatre... they should have realised this from the internal exams, i was told after.

she arrived at 5.33pm, but i dont recall much of that as i lost around 2.8litres blood...and kept passing out..6 blood infusions later and a restitch later we were home on Wednesday evening !

PurplePoppySeed · 12/01/2018 10:46

@Iamchanging glad to hear your getting there, I truest hope you get your rainbow baby soon xx Thanks

I've been up all night with contractions 10 mins apart, soooo tired now! DD1 came in one night, I'm not amused by DC2!

& Congrats hanna

ElleMcElle · 12/01/2018 10:52

@Allmychildrenhavepaws - Agree with those suggesting that you go in sooner rather than later. Are there any hotels near the hospital? Might be worth researching options and potentially getting a hotel room nearby at an earlier stage rather than waiting longer or going all the way back home if they say you're not dilated enough? Good luck!

Allmychildrenhavepaws · 12/01/2018 13:12

Congrats to all the ladies who have had their babies! Flowers

And thankyou to everyone for your advice. Thankfully i have my best friend/birth partner who lives round the corner. from the hospital, so i can go chill at hers rather than go back home. Definitely going in sooner rather than later...just cant figure out whats going on now tbh...he dropped yesterday and i can feel him so very low on my cervix and pushing into my back! I am having the odd proper cx but they are so random atm, i think as soon as i notice a pattern and more discomfort/pain, I'll think about going in. I know i know im being stupid saying this as ive had one before, but i pray i recognise proper labor...i was induced last time, already being at 3-4cm with no pain, so am worried i might not recognise 'true natural labor' and leave it too late to get to the hospital...also cant go too early as i have my dad looking after ds, and dont want to leave him for more than 1-2days...if i go too early and they keep me in, i could be there for ages!

Phew...sorry about rant, just worrying my head off is all. Have a feeling its about to kick off any day...things have definitely changed since yesterday!

I guess just go in when it becomes 'painful' as opposed to uncomfortable?

Ruthcarr1990 · 12/01/2018 23:57
