[Momino]

Here we go....

Hi all,

Wondered if I could join you?
I am due Monday and getting pretty fed up. I need others to talk about symptom watching with!!

Thanks, Clove

i think ive worked it out by all the clues that it must be bantam that has had her baby, but may be wrong on that one! hope bekkaboo cs went well yesterday she must have some news for us too.

could someone please add me to fb group as would love to be able to see the baby pics. my e-mail is [email protected].

ive been feeling abit strange since yesterday, while just extreme tiredness really! my body feels so tired my arms and legs feel really heavy and sort of numb feeling if that makes sense i mean i can feel them but they just feel slighty strange to me. i sort of feel like ive got a migrane but without the headache if thats possible? my head does feel slightly strange to sort of pressure like but not really painful. i feel really sleepy too. last night everytime i got up to go to the toilet i felt really off balance and almost fell over each time, and kept getting tingly arms like when they fall asleep. is this normal? or is anyone else experiencing this? i havent had a show or any bh's or anything so i know its prob not anything to do with labour but just cant not think about it.

i had to stop breastfeeding when ds was 3wks old because i wasnt eating enough (i had such bad morning sickness all the was through i couldn't get used to eating again) and was starting to become ill which was a real shame coz i had lots of milk, but my mum made me stop because she said i wouldn't be any use to ds if i was back in hospital, it was the right decision but i was sad about it. but ds was completely fine on formula and always thrived.

Welcome Clove - the more the merrier. feel free to share, moan and gripe - we are all here for you Morning noon and night !!

clove - welcome- is this your first? do you know what you're having?

matthewandbumps.. have sent you a friend request on fb as soon as you confirm I can send an invite to the group

x posts with pulapula

thanx fi and pula ive confirmed you both now

hi, just logging back on... you mean we don't know yet? who? who's had the next baby? the suspense is killing.

on another subject, could i just offer some advice for everyone (though you may already know this tip): do NOT accept visitors in the 1st week after birth. A friend came to visit unannounced on thu right as i was going for a nap. i told her i didn't have aparking pass so was pleased she could only stay 10 min. however, after she parked the car she somehow found a place inthe 30 min spot (grrr) so i didn't get a nap that day.

Today, a friend of mine came for a visit also at the same time as my nap window. she's just left but Harper is about to wake up so no possibility to nap and my eyes are closing. Do you think I should just be honest-bordering-on-rude to people and tell them to come back later? they did come bearing gifts, bless them. but I'm oh so tired.

matthewandbumpsmummy- i've sent you an invite to the group just now.

momino- poor you- not surprised you were that your friend turned up unexpectedly. You need your naps.

I agree that you shouldn't feel under pressure to accept visits from friends especially those who turn up on your doorstep. I was really keen to visit a friend with a newborn in Dec, and they kept rearranging, and i totally understood why. I don't mind having a few visitors whilst in hospital as i would get lonely otherwise.

pula, I've just decided to extend the selfish no-guest rule to two weeks. dh is home next week so can politely tell any guests to come back following week.

agree with you though about hospital visitors. you do need them during a stay and at least at hospital you don't have to make tea/coffee and provide cakes.

Oh, i do sound selfish don't i?

I've been v. tired today and have had a lovely nap this pm. That horrible pain has come back, but only in my pubic bone. My theory now is that as baby is so v. low it's rubbing along my pubic bone when s/he's moving his/her head. minim Nope the Jalfrezi has had no effect whatsoever

DS said he thinks baby will come on mother's day, I hope not, I don't want to wait until next year! I'd explode before then.

expressing I had to be distracted too. With ds I couldn't do it, with dd I discovered I needed to relax and get distracted by a gossip magazine or maybe telly

visitors Personally I think it's OK to not accept visitors. I think the best way to avoid this is to send out a message asking for a ring first before visiting. I remember visiting a house on a community placement once where they had put a note on the door saying that if you want to visit, please call first. I thought that was a great idea. Oh and I also agree that it's nice to get visitors in hospital, because mine all waited until I was home and I was bored and lonely too.

We still don't know who the surprise baby is then?

I don't feel like being sociable today. I'd rather lock myself in the bedroom and not see or talk to anyone, but I have to be nice to DH and my parents I suppose and make an effort. Don't want to though Oh well, I'll go back to see them....

Oh and before I forget. A big welcome to clove

Belgian, does your DS know that tomorrow is the US mother's day? (well, I didn't know and didn't send my mom a card. oops, i'll ring her.) So, maybe you'll have baby tonight/tomorrow!

and you just reminded me as well: Hi clove, good to have you here.

Momino It happens to be Belgian Mother's day tomorrow too, but he didn't know that. I specifically said English Mother's day when I asked . I always buy my mum's card when it's mother's day here and then loose it by the time it's may . I better make sure I do give something to my mum tomorrow!

No, I didn't say English mother's day, he said mother's day. Oh, Belgian, wake up today

did someone else say they were getting pains in their coccyx bone ?

Ouch mine has started to really give me trouble this evening. I can hardly sit down and walking around is hurting too. I guess the baby has moved and is now pressing on it somehow.

Minim That was me yesterday, both coccyx and pubic bone. Today just my pubic bone. It's very sharp and very uncomfortable

Sorry for keeping you guys in suspense. DH updated my fb status, but was too scared to come onto mumsnet

Jasper was born at 2.08am this morning weighing 8lb 6oz. Everything is fine and we're just home from hospital - I will post my birth story when I'm a little more with it!

daizydoo- congratulations on the birth of little Jasper. I was amazed when I saw you'd posted at 00.50 saying you were getting dressed to go to hospital and then you gave birth just after 2! Good job you got a move on!

daizydoo! congrats on baby Jasper's arrival, how lovely. now, get some rest!

Well done Daisydoo love the name Jasper!! What a quick labour you had. Can't wait to hear the details when you've settled in.

Who next???

YAY DAIZYDOO fantastic news, congratulations, well done. Our first baby of the weekend !!!

ah BelgianC I had a feeling it may have been you. Ouch it really can't be nice for you on top of all the SPD pain. I haven't felt anything in my pubic bone yet but I can't bend forward with this pain in the coccyx.
I was looking forward to relaxing in a nice hot bath tonight but can't see how I will be able to get comfortable I can only sit on my side at the moment without bending.
hopefully it's a good sign it's hurting, I seem to remember being told in antenatal class that bone has to move to giveway to the head or did I dream that ?

Wow pula you are right there ... that means Daizy posted here, went to the hospital and gave birth just 1 hour 18mins later. Incredible.
How long was the drive to the hospital Daizy ?
