Yay Hooray..... Jack Henry was born on Mon 10/12 at 6:55pm. Weighing in at 7lb 8oz. I was induced and he was born after 6 intense hours!!

Congratulations Superloopy, 6 intense hours, am sure you have forgotten all about it now that you are holding your bundle of joy

Well done Superloopy - hope to be joining you soon! Have migrated to the Dec thread now as it's so quiet on this one now.

Love Bunny xxx

Just popping in to see if anyone is still here before I turn out the light...

Just me.. my midwife came around to see me yesterday, and although cervix nice and thin, it wasn't favourable for sweep. So she thinks a few more days. We're now spending Christmas at home, so have got tree ready in anticipation!

I believe LOM has had her bundle too - congratulations LOM!

Will let you know when I eventually get my lovely baby!

Congratulations LOM!!! and am sending vibes to everyone else whos still waiting!! fingers crossed cant be much longer!

can someone put the link up to the postnatal november thread as i cant find it with my bad searching skills!!

also any tips for cracked nipples? they are so sore at the moment ive decided to express for today and maybe tomorrow to give them a break, i just hope Raimee takes it from a bottle. Ive been layering on the lansinoh and changing breast pads lots but they are still so sore and cracked. i think i must have got lazy with my latching on the last few nights as it had all been going so well before! how long do they take to heal? ive found changing bf position has helped but its still really sore for the intial few sucks then calms down a bit! is this ok or does it mean im still doing it wrong? thanx x

Hiya Sam

Work on your latch - that's the only thing i can recommend!

The november post-natal thread is HERE

thanks RGPargy!! i know, im so annoyed with myself coz its been going so well for the last two weeks and its just the last couple of days its gone wrong! i dont know what im doing differently but maybe been more tired last few nights so not paying attention!or maybe now theyve gone flatter as theyre not engorged, i dont know! ! x

Hello everyone! Hope all are welland will post on the post-atal thread as soon as i have time. had a beautiful little girl on Sunday the 9th at 6.22pm - we've called her Phoebe Mae. This has ben the best week of my life- she is fantastic - i will post photos shortly.

Congratulations Ara - you sound deliriously happy Love name!

Good luck bunny - sounds promising. I hope to see you in the postnatal thread gushing over your baby very soon.

Fingers crossed for you...

Congrats ara!!!

Looking forward to pics and birth story soon!

Hi girls,

Congrats Ara - well done!

My midwife came to see me today, I'm now 42 weeks by LMP and 42+5 by scan. As I am as regular as clockwork, it is unusual to go over the 42 week threshold.

It would seem that by "hubby sweeps" this weekend worked somewhat and she was able to do a sweep today. Tomorrow I have to go to the hospital for monitoring. I believe they will put me under a lot of pressure to induce. I'm also going to see my reflexologist for her to do a stronger priming treatment tomorrow evening, MIdwife is round Wednesday, I have to be monitored as hospital on Thursday and it is likely they will induce me then - though I would prefer Friday.

Hopefully Baby decides to come earlier than Thursday - I must be the last person left now

How's tricks, Bunny??

Hi Girls... Sorry for long delay..

Michael Peter Crouch arrived on Friday 21st December at
5.05pm, he weighed 8lb 15oz / 4.04kg.

He was 3 weeks overdue, so the hospital put us under immense pressure to induce, and as a result he was born at Northwick Park - completely healthy and not looking over-cooked! Much to their surprise - I must just be a slow-cooker!

I was in a long labour for 60 hours as he was back-to-back and that was the reason for him being so late too as he couldn't quite get down far enough although my body was ready (bloody show 7 days before birth).

Amazingly he turned whilst I was in labour, and I had enough energy to push him out myself without forceps / ventouse. He is a real sweety!

Photos to follow, he is healthy and content and a
real Christmas present!
