October 04 - New Year Toddlers

[maisiemog]

Hi All, I thought I'd start a new 2006 thread for the October 2004 Mummies and Babies.

Hotmama I was 12 days late and tried everything (from running to vindaloo!) but unfortunately nothing worked. I was induced by a pessary - the first one didn't work but the second one brought on labour within the hour and the entire birth lasted 1.5 hours from start of contractions to holding DS1. I was very worried beforehand as everyone said indudcing was a terrible experience (people are so tactful !) but personally found it ok as at least the labour was quick (no time for any drugs as planned mind you !)I hope you go into labour but don't worry about inducing as it really wasn't at all bad in my experience .

Hotmama all 3 of my babies have come the day before the induction was booked so it could be tomorrow, here's hoping.
Sorry about all those sick toddlers, baby geog has had a runny nappy for 2 weeks (MMR cancelled AGAIN) but is perfectly fit. He still isn't walking but sleeps 12 hours a night and 2 in the day so i'm not complaining, his brother and sister are somewhat sick of the turning the telly off trick though!

We're home - yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

Yay Kath! How's Moley? How are you all? Knackered?!

kathh - ive been thinking of you XXXX how is moley?

he's fine thanks. They said they'll never know what strain of meningitis it was because he had the antibiotics so quickly - thank god for my wonderful childminder! - feel a bit of a wreck at the moment altho nurses tell me this is natural! The most scary thing is how quickly it happened and if it hadnt been for my childminder and a really good final year student who spotted some purple spots (not like you see in the adverts, these were so tiny you could hardly see them). Altho moley had been a bit niggly for a couple of weeks, on the actual morning he'd been fine. We've been given some kind of diazipan in case he ever has a fit again, they're a bit worried that he may be prone to febrile convulsions now and long ones at that. But he's ok. Feel terrible now about moaning about him, bought him a big pressie today for being such a brave boy.

good mummy and you are sssooo brave (im in shock cos hes exact the same age as my DD)... make sure you give him loads of kisses xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and a thank you to your childminder & final year student too - well done!!

He is a brave, clever super boy. Big hugs to both of you. I bet he was glad when his Mummy came to take him home.

Great news , I bet you´re so relieved to have him back home.

Well there´s been no news from hotmama since yesterday morning so maybe the labour vibes have finally worked!

ill go and have a look about hot mama

hotmama had not been on since 5pm yesterday!! so hhmmmmmmmm she could be giving birth now!!!

Sorry - I'm still here - and suitably f@*ked off!

Am now 10 days overdue and resigned to being induced tomorrow. Although, if my "Bishops Score' is low I am going to be asked to be monitored and wait to be induced until induction is deemed more favourable - as I don't want it to become pearshaped and not progress so I have a c-section.

Hopefully, will cheer up later especially if labour vibes kick in.

good luck hotmama for tomorrow!

happy you're all home and well, Kathy xox

huppa, dd is a climber too. we've had a few tears as she's carried the stool across the room and fallen over/off or on it! she has a rocking horse which she moves over in front of stair gate - looks like she's trying to get over it.

she also loves jumping on the sofa/bed/me!!

Hotmama, I hope it all goes well tomorrow (or sooner) I forgot to add that link yesterday, I know it's late in the day, but there might be something here
Alfie has just gone for his nap, I'm sooo tired zzzzzzzzzzz!

hotmama i know you probably won't see this but wishing you well today. Hope everything goes smoothly.

Kath.. I'm so pleased to here your home. phew what an horrendous time. Hugs to moley

Still here - but things are happening naturally.

I am to ring the hosp between 2.30 and 3.00 so will report if I am still to go in for my induction.

Lost my mucus plug early am, had a bath think my waters went but not sure - bump went weird though - don't think I have had any dribbling since. Then had a huge bloody show and have been browny dischargy since - sorry if TMI.

Feel very crampy and backachey but no contractions as such - bump is noticably lower.

Think the labour vibes may be working.

Yay Hotmama. That sounds like your little girl is on her way. How exciting!! How are you feeling??
Make sure you get all the back rubs!

Well Hotmama has obviously not got out from her induction. She could be sitting in bed cuddling her little girl right now.

aaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!

me and baba just both had a Gingerbread man biscuit each - yum yum!!!... baba cant get enough of it atm!!

yesterday and today went for a walk, baba on the reins in a big park and played footie together and also went to the park on the swings - wwwhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

i let baba have a run around on her own with my friends 4 kids as they were playing footie, baba is learning to run but kept on flying on her face on the muddy grass!! she had a muddy face but she had LLOOAADDDSSSS of fun!!

Haha LOL at baba's muddy face.
Alfie's granny came up to see him on Tuesday and she kept chasing him up the hall, then he was chasing her back down the hall. He was extremely excited.
Then he drove her car, no he didn't really, but he would love to.

Hotmama, are you back yet!?!?!?
Probably not on the internet yet??!?
Hope you're feeling OK.

what a day!!!! took baba to the baby signing class this morning and went to CAB to sort out summat, but baba took a fall and banged her head very badly!! she was screaming and screaming, put cold water on bump which baba didnt like , was clinging onto me hard, after she calmed down i gave her a bottle and she fell asleep very quickly... but she wouldnt wake up for couple of seconds but now she is ok as had a check over by docs now im the one with a headache!!!!
