April 08 - Summer sun and LO's!!

I third! I hated my DP SIL for weeks (even though I knew she would have hers before me, 6 weeks in total) and I would pretty much cry everytime there was a birth announcement on here, even though I wasnt even due!

And I can guarantee that I will still be sitting in hospital on Friday without a LO! Little bugger does not want to come out, feel like such a failure for not being able to did it au naturale, but I now just keep concentrating on the fact that it will be here soon.

However, if one one person says to me 'it will come when its ready' I will fish slap them!

Should i copy and apste my post that filled the last thread.... nah cant be arsed LOL!

Carey she could be there really quickly ytou know, after all that waiting for BAs the birth was TOO bloody quick for my liking! Actually, I personally think thats part of the reason for his crying / growth problem- he seemed so shocked for ages! Just coming out of that now, and he's a month tomorrow

PeachyHas4BoysAndLovesIt · 06/05/2008 11:22

That list isn't right- Jenniejennie, eva definitely delivered for a start.

I wonder if Peachbaby has the same surname as me? Just noticed where she lives on that list,a nd DH ahs laods of relatives down there, hmmm....

Not me, i'm just related to the entirety of Somerset

VictorianSqualor · 06/05/2008 11:24

I'm not sure what to put Bas in tbh peachy, we were given a snowsuit for Alex but it hasn't been cold enough for him to wear it and he was wearing a fleecy cardigan but I think even that will be too much today, I'm thinking a vest a t-shirt and a long-sleeved top, with a blanket just incase it gets chillier.

Carey87 · 06/05/2008 11:30

sorry that should have been 'if one more person...

thanks VS, was just about to do that!

sagitta · 06/05/2008 11:41

I think I'm a bit sicker than you all - I feel no hatred /resentment towards everyone else having the LOs - in fact I am glad they have. Just a bit concerned that I am starting to blame LO - who I have always been ambivalent about, to be honest. Really hoping that doesn't turn into something worse...

VictorianSqualor · 06/05/2008 11:50

Oh sagitta, Alex was devils spawn and my body was useless when I was waiting, I even said to dp when i was in the bath that maybe if i partly drowned myself and he got me out it would kickstart 'the stupid lazy little shit' to coming out
Also wasn't the most excited about the impending arrival and am now hopelessly in love, I even cried the other night because i didnt want his mouth to hurt from the thrush[hm]

sagitta · 06/05/2008 11:58

Really? VS, that makes me feel much better. I KNOW its only hormones, but that doesn't seem to help make me feel less crazy...so glad you felt the same and are now in love!

PeachyHas4BoysAndLovesIt · 06/05/2008 12:13

just ordered a fleece poncho each for the ds's, useful for camping and easy as a blanket for bas.

guess what? 8lb. arrrrggggggghhhhhhhhh (was springy scales though)

PeachyHas4BoysAndLovesIt · 06/05/2008 12:34

spoke to nct, they're befuddled too! i think we get the prize or awkward baby...

soph28 · 06/05/2008 12:54

Carey- waiting is awful and nothing anyone else says makes it any better. I felt really down towards the end cos I kept thinking 'my body is a failure, why can't I just go into labour'. 3 pregnancies- 1st came naturally then stopped and had to be restarted with a drip, 2nd two were induced. All I can say is, at least my body seems to get them out quite quickly once I'm in labour!

Peachy, my dd1 came out very quickly- about 30 minutes- it all happened so fast and I tore and she was extremely upset. She screamed for about 4-5 hours after being born and wouldn't latch on. She was a struggle to BF and cried a lot. I'm sure the birth had a massive effect on her. Whereas the other two are both pretty chilled out, well Robyn is so far!

It's gorgeous weather here atm, really warm and sunny. Both dd's are sleeping and dh has taken Toby out so I'm enjoying some peace and quiet while I have some lunch.

Oh yes, has anyone else had REALLY painful contractions since having their LO? I had some last night after BF. I had the same after Chloe was born and apparantly it's pretty normal, especially with 2nd+ child, just the uterus contracting. However, it is SO painful, I was actually crying in pain- I didn'teven do that when I was in labour!!

VictorianSqualor · 06/05/2008 13:00

Yes soph!
The afterpains!
Argh and they are worse with ecah child apparently, and worse during a feed, i had to stop feeding at one point in hospital and hand Alex to MiL cos they hurt so much!

moominsmummy · 06/05/2008 13:01

big hugs to all the others waiting - nothing happening here - am off to hospital now to see consultants - typical that I have to spend first sunny day in ages sat in antenatal clinic

DH has gone downhill last few days so isn't coming with me for appointment and I don't know if he'll be well enough to come to the birth at all - so maybe doing it all on my own (not that men do much anyway - last time he complained he was bored halfway through the labour )

PeachyHas4BoysAndLovesIt · 06/05/2008 13:12

worse with each is right, and they lasted three weeks this time!

ow.

PortAndLemon · 06/05/2008 14:47

Peahy broke the thread! Peachy broke the thread!

The last couple of days I've just had DD in short-sleeved bodysuit/vest and dungarees (plus the Close Baby Carrier, which adds a couple of layers) and a hat. Before that we had a babygro on top of the vest instead of the dungarees, but she was getting too hot. It's scary how much ilder she looks now she's in an "outfit" like the dungarees rather than just a babygro.

Hugs to moomin -- do you have anyone else who could go with you?

Annieroo · 06/05/2008 15:05

Hi all,

I did post this the other day, not sure if it got missed though :-

Congrats to everyone else who have had their LO's and hang in there to those who are still waiting.

moomins- any chance you could get a doula? you'd prbably qualify for their hardship fund to help?

just bought ds some rompers, really frustrating still buying newborn! got advice from tiktok and she suggested dairy- which rings right and will vcut it out but dh a bir [sad[ as with the others dairy intol has = asd.

Just popping in to say hello, glad the thrush is being sorted VS and scorpio hope problems all resolve soon.

((((hugs)))) to Peachy with Bas's weight gain, I'm sure using those springy scale things cant be v helpful in monitoring acurately. Going out if at the moment is warmer than in our house were in a vest and short romper suit with a thin blanket in case the wind picks up. If out in the sling just adding a cardigan.

Congratulations to any new arrivals.

Arghhh, I just sat on the bus desperately wanting to shout at two first time mums

They both had babies, one 5 months, one six months and were discussing how their babies had been 'hungry' at about 3 months, so they had started weaning and then started going on about how they had to give their babies hungrier baby milk cos they weren't sleeping through.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
SLEEPING THROUGH IS NICE, BUT NOT A FLIPPING AIM, IT HAPPENS WHEN THEIR TUMMY GETS BIG ENOUGH FFS!

hi folks, feel like I've been away forever! Got back from hospital yesterday but couldn't post as loads of visitors! The hospital I attend has gotten really strict about visitors so people said they'd wait till I got home, but I didn't think they meant the day I got home! Thank God Mum is here! MIL showed up then and ended up staying for tea and telling lovely storied about babies who were co-sleeping and got rolled on by their parents, just what we needed to hear!
Anyhow, Harry is gorgeous, I was a bit worried that I would have difficulty bonding with him as I had been hoping after 3 boys that I would have a little girl but I needn't have worried, I felt a rush of love for him immediately he was born! He has a mop of dark hair, I mean LOADS of hair, is feeding really well and his big brothers adore him, even ds3 who wants to hold him and kiss him all the time! I had been worried because when the boys came to the hospital, ds3 was a bit "off" and wouldn't give me a hug but adjusted after a few minutes. He does have to be watched all the time as he seems to think ds4 is his property to be picked up at will. Will try to post a pic later on my profile but am not very good with techy stuff so may need dh's help!
