July 2010 - a quieter thread for those who can't keep up!

[WestYorkshireGirl]

Hi there

I have been on the July thread, but it moves so fast and as I don't have time (or energy being so sleepy), I can't keep up with everyone who is on several times a day! If anyone else wants to join me in a slower thread to share how your pregnancy is developing, feel free!

Aww MrsC - pain/sickness when you have DC to look after is so tough isn't it

Hope you manage some rest later

Thank You! MrsCyes w did have the same due date,I really hope that your baby arrives soon and that your pelvis will improve! Thanks Tabago the name came to us at the last minute! You are right they are worth it I just need to keep reminding myself of that at 3am in the morning after no sleep...... also think that my pelvic floor is shot to pieces - will it recover????

Good luck to those still waiting!

i think it will recover twittle but it won't hurt to carry on with your pelvic floor exercises all the same!

Thanks gibbon! I can't wait for it to be over. The waiting is killing me.

Hi all, sorry i've not been on for a while...been busy with my new DD Isabella

She was born on 22nd July in a birthing pool, what an amazing experience! Fairly long labour (about 11 hours 'established' although started contractions 2 days before), and somehow got through it without gas & air or anything . She was a healthy 'little' thing at 8lbs 7oz...no wonder I felt so huge in the last few weeks!

BF going ok now, but was sooooo painful to start. We had a few days of feeding 14 times in 24 hours... anyway now she's down to 10-15 minute feeds 8-10 times a day, which aint so bad!

Hope everyone is enjoying their little ones, or enjoying the anticipation!!

Hello everyone! I've not been able to log in for a while, because little paddy wack hadn't realised that evenings are for mummy and daddy. Today is day two of training. (This involves lots of cuddling from about 6pm onwards in an attempt to get him to sleep by about 8!) He is very very sweet and I am finding it much easier second time round, coping with a newborn. This time it's so enjoyable, despite being totally sleep deprived. BF going well although he's a sicky baby so voms all over me / hair / pillowcases / sheets / crib, most of the time. But I love him all the more for this. GOOD LUCK Tobago and MrsC, I'm thinking of you and congrats everyone else who'se popped. MWB&T xx

congrats Holly!

And well done mumwith... it sounds as though you're all loved-up over at your house!! He sounds adorable!

I'm 41 weeks today and still no sign of no.2.

Saw the midwife yesterday who sent me to hospital to cry over the antenatal staff until they agreed to book me in for an earlier induction. My SPD is bad still but hubby only has a couple of days holiday left so if he takes it now to help me out he won't get any at christmas....

So feeling a bit low. Can't leave the flat, toddler's playing up because she's so bored and I've no idea when we'll be meeting no.2.

At least I now have saturday to focus on as induction day

Hi everyone,
you poor thing mrsc hope your little one appears soon
congratulations holly glad you had a great experience,
Sorry i haven't been on for a while ds1 was born on sunday 1st August so just missed July!
Was only in labour for 5 1/2 hrs and only had to push for 7 minutes! He was 9lb 1oz too so can't believe he came out that quick
Can't believe i've got a ds after two dds,really happy just finding breast feeding a nightmare,he feeds every hr!
Hope everyone else is doing ok x

congratulations tobago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So does that just leave me now?

So depressing :-(

Congrats tobago!! 9lb 1oz, Crikey! that had to smart a bit

Awww MrsC, it won't be long now, I can feel it in my water

Good Luck for Saturday MrsC at least the end is surely in sight and hopefully once your little arrives the SPD will disappear in an instance... fingers crossed anyway but I also sending labour inducting vibes that maybe baby crocoduck starts making his way into the world for you today!!

Congratulations Tobago and Holly great news, crikey Tobago what a bruiser 9lbs 1oz my eyes are watering at that too!!!

Hope everyone else is doing well, I am hopefully over the teary stage now and kleenex have made a killing - nearly at the end of week 2 and we are all getting to know each other and settling into life as a family and ooohhh how much do I adore my little boy even if he does try to tear my nips off continually!!!

Poor you mrsc hope it starts for you today,if not good luck for tomorrow,really feel for you x
Yeah can't believe he was 9lb 1oz and i only had to have two stitches definitely feeling it now though!!!
Had to give up breast feeding,he was just feeding all the time and it absolutely killed,never mind,will miss my jordan boobs though
Am absolutely shattered as he still woke every 1-3hrs last night but am totally in love with him,
hope everyone else is doing good,
looking forward to hearing some news soon mrsc

baby Rosa is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8lb 12, born friday at 5.43pm after a 2 hour labour and being told it was too late for an epidural!

Her bid sister adores her (a little too much at times!) as do we.

Am amazed at how relaxed I am second time round. Even walked the 15 min walk back from hospital pushing the pushchair yesterday!

Thanks for your encouragement, it meant a lot. This has been a great thread and I want to wish you all well in the coming months with your new additions.

Congratulations,wow 2hr labour after all that wait,glad your feeling so well,what a lovely name

Congrats!! aww lovely name

Yes I am definitely more relaxed this time, it feels lovely to not be so worried

Just popped on to find out your news Mrsc and what great news it is and I love the name too and a 2 hour labor way to go!!! Can't believe how time flies but just to echo what MrsC said this has been a great thread - good luck everyone with your babies and enjoy!! xx

I had my first smile from Patrick! It's THE most gorgeous uplifting smile in the world (other than his big brothers')
MRS C - WOOP WOOOP! Well done you, 7 minutes hey!
Tobago - a complete family, you must be over the moon. I've got two boys and would LOVE (if I had the balls to do it again) a little girl next time.

I've loved this thread - I've been so grumpy on it and so happy on it and I think you're all amazing. XX
