Are your children’s vaccines up to date?
PetitFilou1 · 15/08/2008 20:07

Awww no1 don't beat yourself up. Ds regularly falls out of bed (and is in a high bed) dd has also fallen out of bed when in bed with me and dh. They have both survived to tell the tale

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 15/08/2008 20:18

Thanks PF I know it cant have hurt that much or she would have cried, Just made me feel sick.
They can take more then you think cant they.

TwilightSurfer · 15/08/2008 20:29

No1 mine fell out her crib attempting an escape in the middle of the night. Oddly it was a rare night that she went to sleep in the crib and afterwards it was GONE.... I remember feeling all bad about it as if I'd done something wrong. Those early years with little ones are hard on us all no matter what happens or how well we try to deal with it. {{{{HUGS}}}}

OP posts:
no1putsbabyinthecorner · 15/08/2008 20:31

Thankyou for the hug TS
anything happening/moving for you yet?

TwilightSurfer · 15/08/2008 20:37

I don't know No1. I'm feeling all sorts of funny things today. However, I'm ignoring them as best I can and just waiting for the GUSH.

OP posts:
no1putsbabyinthecorner · 15/08/2008 20:40

I had a big blob of mucous type discharge earlier (sorry if TMI)
Thought it was a show at first but was clear and had nothing since.

BabiesEverywhere · 15/08/2008 20:55

No1, Sounds like the show I had, went into labour 30 minutes later !?! Good Luck

Re engorgement, I am lucky enough to have a nursing toddler this time around and she is really helping to control my milk supply...yeah for Tandem Nursing.

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 15/08/2008 20:59

OMG Babiies Not ready yet.
Have had quite a lot of discharge lately so just thought maybe could be just that.

WEll done on tandem feeding thats amazing

poppysocks · 15/08/2008 21:32

Evening ladies. We've just shared some champers to celebrate Emily's first week and feel pathetically light headed ('twas only a half bottle ).

Congrats to Sibh and Eibhlin. The girls are well and truly fighting back now!

All going fine here, although a miniscule blister seems to be causing a totally disproportionate amount of bf toe-curling.

Having real doubts about DD2's name. Is it normal to feel weird about giving someone a name? I think it was with DD1. Just wonder whether we should have used Alice instead as it has no real connections for us. DH just loves Emily so much and I know he's so pleased that that what she's called. Just don't feel settled with it. Also don't think it goes with DD1's name. Sorry, rambling now...

poppysocks · 15/08/2008 21:35

OMG. DH has just tried in on.... Seems the bubbly's gone to his head too. The mind maybe willing, but the body...No, no, no!

dizzydixies · 15/08/2008 21:39

poppy its a lovely name and is does go with dd1 however if you're not comfortable with it then why not wait a wee while before you register her - you still have 2 more weeks. Alice is lovely too and even if it is her middle name you can always change it later

sibh congrats on your lovely girl with her lovely name - one of my favourite Irish names

my lovely spanish cousin had her baby today (sorry for all those still waiting to go) she wasn't due till end of Sept, said to her mum she didn't feel well and wanted to go to the Dr and had him 3 hours later

anyway off to bed for me - will hopefully get more of a chance to check in tomorrow as PIL still here

poppysocks · 15/08/2008 21:56

Hi Dizzy! How are things now? How's the bf? What day does DD1 start school?

We actually registered DD2 today. Thought the finality would help me as realistically now everyone is using Emily AND DH loves the name so much, it's not going to change. Think I just need to get over this one. My Mum's arriving on Sunday and hoping she can help on this one as she's so chuffed we've used the name.

Is your cousin's baby ok? That sounds pretty early. Hope all well.

dizzydixies · 15/08/2008 22:18

HI POPPY! oops - sorry for shouting

things are ok, the bf going much better although my left nipple is a bit sore after a harsh feed earlier but mostly its nice feeds now so am hoping we've cracked it.

dd1 starts school on Tues, I can't quite believe it. she looks so grown up with her uniform and her new hair do!

will have to get our finger out and register Dylan too - we registered the first two here but apparently can't do it anymore so will either be over to yours or across the bridge

apparently she and the wee one are both fine, he's 2.5 kilos which I think is about 5lbs and although early thats a good size for her - she's a tiny wee Spanish thing who is probably back in her jeans by tonight

poppysocks · 15/08/2008 22:38

at being back into jeans quick smart (although obviously not at having an early babe!). Glad the weight's good though and all well!

We had a temp. registrar today who was v. cheery, although did regale us with one too many stories about how she just couldn't stop at 2 children and ended up with 4. All a bit when we're just coming to terms with the jump from 1 to 2! DD also announced this morning that she'd like another baby - a brother preferably !

Hope tuesday goes well. Yet another momentous change for you. Am sure it'll be really happy though. Is your Dad still coming over?

HazieDazieandBaby · 15/08/2008 23:21

Hi girls!

Just thought I'd check in since it's been ages since I posted. Thank you TS and Dizzy for your prompts! I lost track of the thread a while ago 'cos I couldn't keep up with it at one point, it moved so fast! Will try to keep up now, promise! (Now I've said that... cue baby's arrival in the next few hours, thus scuppering my chances of keeping said promise )

Congratulations to everyone who's had their baby already - there are loads! Way more than I thought for only being halfway through the month!

No action to report over here. I'm actually thinking of taking out an ad in the local paper to this effect - it'll save people money from texting me every 5mins to find out if the baby's arrived yet!

On that subject, is it weird that I'm still happy to wait for bubs to make up her own mind about when to arrive? I'm obviously totally excited to meet her, but not as impatient as everyone else seems. I've always prepared myself for being overdue and going a full 42wks, so maybe that's part of it.

Off to bed now, so I'll wish everyone a good night's sleep, whether you're a mummy yet or not!

Today is my due date. Where is this baby? Maybe this is all a bizarre dream and I am really just a fat, lazy cow.

OP posts:
KnockOffNorbert · 16/08/2008 03:29

Congratulations Bigboy & Daisy

TS - you not popped yet? Good luck for the rest of today!

More mayhem this end, went to Heatherwood for my sweep, resigned to the fact I would have to change hospitals to there and the MW saw Frimley on my notes and said they couldn't sweep me as they had different policies and rung Frimley and bullied asked them to pleeeeeease do something about me. So I am now booked in for 9am on Tuesday to see a consultant (40 + 11 but obviously the world stops over a Bank Holiday Weekend) who will either sweep me or more than likely just induce me that night! So scary to have a date set in stone now - baby will either be born (if it goes like last time) the day before or on DHs Birthday! Finally have The End in sight... I can't believe twice now i'm having to be induced. Very random posting time BTW - I fell asleep at 6.30 with DS and have been in bed ever since Woke up hungry so mooching around for abit before I go back to bed...

Sazzles I wish I had a special due date dance.

Just woke dreaming that things had started. I'm still having odd feelings down below. Got up to pee only to hear the sprinkler outside. DH forgot it again. It's been on now for 4 hours. Went out to turn it off and the moon was soooo full. I stood there trying to let it do it's thing. But I'm tired so back to bed for me. With a pause by the laptop for MN update, of course.

Knockoff, I can not believe you are still carrying. UNREAL!! That baby needs to come out.

Oooo, Sazzles, we haven't had poo since Tuesday either. Is it ok do you think? She passed meconium before that - the midwife wasn't worried on Thursday but there's still nothing so I was thinking I ought to ring someone this am... Apologies to those in the waiting room for typical new-mum obsession with nappy contents but advice from anyone with more experience would be very welcome! I thought she was feeding ok now but perhaps not...

AnnVan · 16/08/2008 07:33

Hi all! TS - can't believe you haven't popped yet.
pertelote - don't worry about poo obsession, mw's gave us a lecture about how important it is to check how much baby poos so you're doing the right thing!

AnnVan · 16/08/2008 07:37

Ooh - having that back pain again!

PetitFilou1 · 16/08/2008 07:44

perterlote I think, from memory, that bf babies can vary and a week without pooing is not unusual. But you might do well to post on the bf/bottle bit of MN.

hazie Don't know about everyone else but my impatience is due to being on here too much and watching everyone else pop

sazzles sorry you had a bad night - hope emma lets you have some sleep today

annvan I put money on you dilating a bit gradually and then having a fairly fast birth - feel free to prove me wrong and go into active labour in a few minutes

TS She'll come out when she's ready - but oh you must be fed up
