There will be lots more babies on this thread soon by the sounds of it, how exciting! Can't wait to hear about them all. Hope those of your in the last few weeks can take it as easy as poss and arent too uncomfortable.
@Avocuddles lovely bump and lovely hair! What a gorgeous colour!
What a lovely thought @Shefliesonherownwings and pleased you have felt up to buying things. Your photo book also sounds lovely @Anon20something, so special 💞

I have bought our pram this week, and started making more detailed lists which feels like a big milestone. It does make me feel more excited and I like to be prepared which im not! I was in the office last week and kept being asked if I had everything ready - everyone seemed surprised when I said no 😬

SunStruck · 06/09/2020 15:50

@Avocuddles ohh I LOVE your hair and bump! You look great ❤️ yes I've also thought maybe I just don't know what BH feels like and think it's the baby, but I can always feel the little parts (like feet or elbows etc) when the baby moves so I don't think it's that?! Who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️ 😅

@Whiffle77 oh nice you've sorted the pram! It all feels more real when the pram is at home right 😃

@Knotemma I'm also starting to feel a little bit crampy at times, feels like period pain that comes and goes... hopefully this means something 😂 I also need a wee about 4 times an hour 🥴

I've booked to get my lashes and eyebrows done for Thursday, I want to look good for the baby when he comes ha-ha! Jokes aside, I have lots of restaurants booked and our anniversary coming up later this month just to enjoy myself with fancy restaurants and eating out before the baby comes (we love eating out, we are big foodies!). It's nice to feel a bit more like yourself (be it lashes or getting hair or nails done) as this WFH is having me wearing lounge wear or PJs everyday... I can't even be bothered to use the camera when on Zoom or Teams with work 😂

Do you guys have any plans or anything booked for before the baby comes if you're also FTM:s? I'm getting a bit anxious about life changing completely (but obviously still very excited about the baby). I am 36 years old so have had a great carefree (long!) life doing whatever I want whenever I want, so the readjustment will be huge I think !

SammiLou2312 · 06/09/2020 16:04

Hi again lovely ladies...managed to get a few naps in and am now home from hospital so I thought I would try update you all on what happened while I'm a little more awake lol!

I was admitted to hospital at 11am on Thursday 3rd Sept to be induced. DH was able to take me to the door of the induction ward to help with bags but no further. I went onto the ward and was hooked up to a monitoring machine to check Amelia's heart rate. This should have taken about 20 mins but ended up taking almost 2 hours as she kept moving too much and knocking the monitor off. Once they managed to get a decent report for her I was then assessed internally to check her position and my progress with cervix to see what method of induction would be best (there was options of a hormone pessary or mechanical rod things) to make cervix dilate. However when they checked me I was almost 2cm dilated already and they were happy they would be able to break my waters already so I didn't need these interventions. This was around 2pm so they called delivery suite and informed them so I could go over as soon as a bed was available. Was finally taken over to delivery at 11pm where my husband was able to join me. They then had to redo the monitoring session again to check Amelia was ok still and not stressed before they broke my waters. Next they had to put a canular in my arm in preparation for the hormone drip. I have really tiny veins and the canulars are quite big to allow for multiple things to be put through them at once. A couple of hours, a specialist anesthesiologist, an ultrasound machine and almost 10 failed attempts later they finally got a canular in my arm lol. As the aneathetist was already in room he decided to put epidural in at this point so it was done. After the arm stabbing, this was no where near as bad as I thought. At 1:30am the midwife broke my waters and we discovered Niagara Falls 😂😂😂 turns out I had a LOT more waters than expected, poor midwife was drenched lmao! Next they started the hormone drip and my contractions started quite quickly after that. By 4am I was 3cm dilated and we realised that the epidural had only affected my right side and I was still feeling all the contractions on my left side so they topped up my epidural to balance it out and then increased my hormone drip to increase frequency and strength of contractions even more. By 7am I was 4cm dilated but baby was really low and contractions were stupidly regular and strong. Amelia was still kicking off the monitors on my belly so midwife attached a clip to her head to monitor her better as she was struggling a little with each contraction. At just after 1pm, her heart rate had started to really go dodgy so there was talk of potentially needing to go to theatre for either forceps delivery or c section. They decided to turn off the hormone drip and examine me to check what to do next and I was fully dilated and ready to push. I started to push at just after 13:15. 3 big pushes later and my beautiful Amelia was born and placed straight on to my chest at 13:25! I had a 2nd degree tear but it's worth every bit of discomfort and tiredness! DH had said he didn't want to see anything "down the business end" but couldn't help but look as she was born and saw her coming out which he loved. I pushed her head out and her body just slid out on its own lol! All in all, although it was tiring the midwives were amazing and everything quickly dissolved to nothing once Amelia was in my arms 🥰
We were moved to post natal ward at around 8pm once there was a bed and I had some feeling back in my legs as epidural had made them numb (unfortunately DH had to leave at this point) and we stayed there until last night when we were discharged and could go home.
It's so bizarre, even though she is home with me I still get the odd moment of it feeling like it's still not real lol. I am so desperately in love with her already which is an amazing feeling 😍.

Any ways...that's my birth story (well what I remember haha) sorry for the essay. I hope you are all well and can't wait to see more awesome updates as more of you graduate and beautiful babies are born. Good luck to you all xx

AnxiousLady1 · 06/09/2020 22:36

@Sammilou2312 Thank you for sharing your story! I really enjoyed reading about Amelias birth and by the sounds of it you had a mostly positive experience which is great. It's good to get that perspective where there's an induction etc. It's made me more excited about my own impending birth story. Sounds like you are soaking up all the amazing cuddles and being a new mummy. We must get the post grad group sorted soon now there's been a few graduates. 😍

Knotemma · 07/09/2020 06:13

@SammiLou2312 so pleased to hear that overall you had such positive birth, always great to hear a positive induction story! You were obviously amazing!

I've given up on sleep tonight 🙈 been awake on and off since half 1, having what I'm pretty sure are now "proper" Braxton Hicks, which mean I just can't get comfortable. Goblin is kicking me all over in between them so just can't get back to anything more than a doze. It probably doesn't help that my dad helped me (and by that I mean did everything whole I directed) move the bedroom around yesterday, so that it will be easier for me to get in and out of bed once the Goblin is here. Glad we've done it now though, so I've got chance to get used to it. I'm at the weird not even tired stage which I know will result in me crashing at about half ten! First official day of Maternity Leave today and I suspect I won't be doing much!

SunStruck · 07/09/2020 06:42

@SammiLou2312 oh I loved reading about your birth and so happy to hear it was a good experience! I also have an induction date booked just in case I don't go into labour naturally - I really want to do it naturally but I'm happy to hear induction can also be a great experience :) hope you're getting lots of rest and cuddles now!

@Knotemma yay first day on maternity! So jealous! Enjoy. Yeah the baby is kicking me so much all the time I'm worried about that he never seems to sleep 😅😅😅

Ladies, are you planning to breastfeed or formula feed? I really want to try breastfeeding but I'm a bit worried about my boobs not leaking at all even at 37 weeks? Not sure I'm producing anything (colostrum)?

Knotemma · 07/09/2020 06:56

@SunStruck I'm planning to breastfeed. No leakage here either but everything I've read says that leaking in pregnancy has nothing to do with supply. I've I hand express (carefully and with the ok from my midwife) I get a few drops from each side, but not much, literally a couple of ml. Colostrum is so nutrient rich and babies have such tiny stomachs those first few days it really doesn't take much. For me as a first timer the best advice I've seen is:

Baby will be on the boob a lot the first free weeks. As long and they're peeing and pooping well they're getting enough. They're on there to increase supply.

Don't give up on a bad day/after a bad feed.

Make sure you have nipple cream and use it every feed

When they first latch it might be uncomfortable/hurt, but that shouldn't last longer than about 30 seconds. If it still hurts after that unlatch them (by sticking a finger in their mouth to break the suction) and make sure they get a big mouthful of boob, not just the nipple.

The more skin to skin time you can do the better

Cluster feeding is a thing! They will have days, even when they get older where they want to feed constantly. It's normally linked to a growth spurt and they're telling you're body to produce more milk.

Make sure you have a big water bottle and some snacks! That way you can settle in for the longer feeds without sitting there starving 😂

It's something that I've wanted to do for years, so I've done a lot of research and reading. But basically don't panic, accept that the first few weeks will probably be tough and go for it! But if it doesn't work out, don't beat yourself up 🤷‍♀️ honestly getting these babies here and keeping them fed and happy is all that matters, so try not to put too much pressure on yourself

footprintsintheslow · 07/09/2020 07:36

@SammiLou2312 lovely to hear all about the birth. It's great to talk about it all too I find.

@Knotemma happy MAT leave day!
That's all good advice.
I will definitely be breastfeeding and I found the kellymom website a wealth of info for all things milk.

And this book is small, cheap and digestible:

Why the Politics of Breastfeeding Matter (Pinter & Martin Why It Matters: 6): 1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1780665253/ref=cmswwrcppapiii_RsDvFbY0G3H2S

tmc14 · 07/09/2020 08:35

@SammiLou2312 Ah, that's a lovely story, I'm due to be induced at 40+3 (I'm from a family of longer pregnancies so don't expect spontaneous labour before then) so it's really nice to hear an induction story that is shorter than 3 days!! Sounds like you did an amazing job.

@Avocuddles You look great, love the hair. I have an appointment booked for this Saturday... I only usually get my hair cut a couple of times a year so not that unusual for me, although last time was Christmas so it is starting to look really wild (and very grey!).

@sunstruck With my first we did a few dinners out and saw some live music... but a bit tricky now I guess. I loved our 'due date dinner', the waiter (who looked about 17) asked when I was due and I said 'today!' He looked terrified :-D This time round I'm trying to do lots of fun things with my toddler. I had my first at 37, and I was actually totally fine with not going out etc. I felt I'd had 20 years of that so was ready for a change! Some younger mum friends got straight back into 'date nights' and things quite soon after birth. I'm still not that bothered to be honest. Ha.

I'm hoping to breastfeed. I really struggled with my son, and had to combi feed. I could just never get him to put weight on with breast milk alone. I'm hoping this time is better. My advice would be: Lots of skin to skin, limit the time visitors stay for in the first weeks so you can just concentrate on getting feeding sorted, and find out where the help is before birth (all the local groups near to me are doing online support at the very least at the moment). When in hospital ask the midwife for help at each feed. I found the Kelly Mom website really useful for information, and the Jack Newman videos online really good. I realised I'd been surrounded by breastfeeding people but never paid attention (why would you?!) and didn't actually know what a good latch/feed looked like... the videos show you up close what is going on.

@Knotemma That's interesting about your overnight BH. I get them loads in the day, but the minute I sit down/rest they go away. I wonder if they will start to ramp up when resting too as the weeks tick by... And happy start to mat leave! Hope you have a restful day.

tmc14 · 07/09/2020 08:41

Also updating my weeks... 35 weeks now, induction booked for 40+3... I doubt she'll come before then (my son was born at 42 weeks), it's very weird to know the few days in which she'll most likely arrive! I think I'm looking forward to not being quite so late as last time as that last week was really hard work though. Hope everyone has a lovely Monday x

What a lovely story @SammiLou2312 thank you so much for sharing. Hope your first few days at home are going smoothly!
Yes @SunStruck it made it very real! I think thats the most exciting purchase too Smile we are doing similar as a FTM, trying to go out to eat a lot. Not ideal with COVID as that has limited us but just trying to be sensible where possible. We wanted to go on one last abroad holiday but obviously that won't be happening too! But it could all be a lot worse. Eating out is nowhere near as fun without the wine though!!
@Knotemma happy first day of maternity leave!! I am furiously jealous 😂 hope you manage to catch up on some rest, enjoy doing nothing!!
I am also planning to breastfeed - everyone around me seems to have made it look so easy though, which makes me nervous. I've not thought of doing much reading or research into it as I guess i assumed it would just "happen". So the reaour es you guys have mentioned are very useful, thank you

footprintsintheslow · 07/09/2020 12:44

Just been to the scan and all is well with baby. Apparently they have a really fat belly and very long legs. They actually laughed and said wow it's really fat!😂

Then they booked me in again for four weeks without me having to beg or even ask. My consultant was so awful and was very reluctant to see me ever. I'm so glad I've changed.

MOGMOGMOG85 · 07/09/2020 22:31

Is anyone else having problems with nesting instinct? I can only assume that's what it is - sudden overwhelming urge to clean, tidy, organise and solve issues with the house that I'd previously been happy to let go. I think the reason it's causing me trouble is because my partner is very depressed at the moment (he lost his granddad recently) and he has stopped functioning. I asked him to lift something today and he was really angry with me about it. I think the more depressed and withdrawn he is, the more anxious I feel, and the more I want to sort EVERYTHING in the house - its like a desperate need. And there are certain things I can't do for myself. I've been asking him to clean the oven for weeks (although it previously only bothered me slightly, now I'm suddenly desperate for a clean oven) because I don't want to use the horrible chemical stuff myself whilst pregnant. His granddad only died last week so I should really back off and give him some space but I don't seem to be doing that and I feel like a monster. I think perhaps I was feeling quite alone with preparing for the baby as it was, and now suddenly it's magnified loads by his mood. To be clear my relationship is not horrible, he's just a typical man I think in terms of not necessarily being aware of what it takes to prepare for a baby, and I am not the best at sharing information, I just run away with preparing things and forget to explain what I'm doing. And he has only been being angry with me since his granddad died - he's clearly grieving, but I'm not coping with it on top of trying to sell the house, the music from the pub next door, and preparing for the baby as well as my stuff at work (thankfully I've dealt with that now but it was very tiring last week).

Wondered if anyone else had a strong nesting instinct kick in around 27 weeks - or if it was exacerbated by a feeling of not being in control of certain things (house, music, grieving partner)? Or if anyone clashed with their other half about it and didn't feel they were helping out enough? He definitely has reason to go in on himself now, it just seems like the worst timing in terms of my hormones :(

MOGMOGMOG85 · 07/09/2020 22:32

Sorry for the rant, I'm having a horrible day and have completely spun out this evening just crying and feeling so hormonal and sorry for myself

Knotemma · 07/09/2020 23:09

@MOGMOGMOG85 I totally had the nesting instinct stupidly early. I'm not a naturally "tidy" person, I get little satisfaction from cleaning but for weeks I've started a small job and ended up dragging everything out of a room. It's driven me batty and I've wanted to kill DH many times for wandering into a room, putting a mug down and wandering off! Or being asked to do a simple little job and taking a week to do it. Hormones are fun 🤷‍♀️

On the oven cleaning front I've found that some of the vanish "pink stuff" cream in the tub and an elbow grease cleaning pad is the bee's knees and there's nothing harsh or smelly. Font get me wrong it took a bit of scrubbing (a clean oven has never been one of my top priorities) but it really did the job.

I'm sorry to here about your partner's grandad, losing him must be particularly difficult in this time of social distancing and restrictions. I think it's important to try to keep communication open and honest. It's maybe worth saying to him something along the lines of " I know it seems batty, but my hormones are going mad and I just need to feel like I'm making progress with the house to prepare for the baby coming. Sorry if I'm driving you mad, I really can't control it at the moment" that way he knows your not picking at him, you just need to be moving forward?

footprintsintheslow · 08/09/2020 07:59

@MOGMOGMOG85 not sure if this is an option but I used to pay once a year for the oven clean company to come in and mine. It was about £50.

Now my husband says he'll do it but never does. So annoying and ours needs fixing now as the grill has broken so he says he doesn't want to clean it only for them to say it can't be fixed. But I don't want them to come out and see our grubby oven.

tmc14 · 08/09/2020 09:42

@footprintsintheslow Great news on the scan, glad it's all going well.

@MOGMOGMOG85 Sorry you're having a tough time and sorry about your partners grandad. It's very tricky when you're in such different places. My situation is very different in that my husband is an absolute clean freak and loves getting jobs done. But we have quite different views on what the priorities are. We have a job list that we both wrote, and then we plan in a joint calendar when jobs are going to be done. It's really boring and totally unromantic, but works for us. At the moment, as we're getting close, we're also planning in fun things to make sure we do those too. I realise with grief it's very different, but could you maybe explain that certain things need to be done before the baby arrives and plan with him when you're going to do things? And make sure there are jobs you can do as well so he doesn't feel it's all on him? Also second the view of the professional oven cleaners (although I can't get a quote less than £90 here so we might have to do it ourselves). Alternatively, do you have friends/family near who could help with anything? Sorry if all that is obvious or rubbish advice! Sending a hug though as it's really tricky as both your needs are totally valid.

Knotemma · 08/09/2020 09:59

@footprintsintheslow I somehow missed your update about the scan, great news that it went well and that growth is looking so good. Having the right team around you makes such a difference!

Shefliesonherownwings · 08/09/2020 10:39

@MOGMOGMOG85 I had a similar urge to clean early on. I can't remember when but maybe a month or so ago. I just had to clean all the skirting boards and sort some cupboards out. It only lasted one day really and hasn't reappeared since then but it is definitely a thing. Sorry you're having a tough time with your partner too. This is stereotypical but I've certainly learnt that men and women grieve very differently and I know when we lost Isla DHs way of dealing with things sometimes baffled me. I also found him hard to deal with especially when I was having a bad day, I couldn't cope with his grief as well as mine. Easier said than done of course, but just try to be kind to yourself and as others have said, I highly recommend getting someone in to do the oven. We got ours done earlier in the year and they did a much better job than I ever could for about £50.

@footprintsintheslow glad your scan went well. That made me laugh about baby having a fat belly!

We are back in for a scan today, to check the growth. I'm really nervous. After hearing the growth had tailed off 2 weeks ago I am veering between imagining it was just a blip and everything looking great today and imagining the consultant saying things aren't looking good and we have to move things forward. My mind is in overdrive and I have to have a catch up with the head of my department at 11 which I could really do without!

footprintsintheslow · 08/09/2020 14:18

@Shefliesonherownwings any scan news yet.

Here's a picture of my baby's fat belly...

Pregnant after Loss and Dreaming of Rainbows - 5
footprintsintheslow · 08/09/2020 14:26

Is anyone here doing anything with their placenta? As this will be my last baby I think I'm going to bring it home to plant under a tree.
This is a total surprise to me as I've never had any interest in doing anything with it before, for any pregnancy but this time I suddenly feel the urge! 😂

I've even considered having it made into tablets to take, but I've been put off that idea when I read that part of the job of the placenta is to filter out toxins so I'm not keen on ingesting those!!!

Shefliesonherownwings · 08/09/2020 15:40

@footprintsintheslow yes scan was better this time! Growth has increased a bit, more like 70th centile now I think. Such a relief. We suspect that because the baby was transverse last time but is head down now, that the positioning last time could have skewed the measurements a bit. He is 2kgs now so has put on over a pound over the last two weeks which is great. He was super wriggly too, keep kicking at the hand held bit of the scanner lol.

What a great picture of your baby, they certainly look pretty round! I can't say it has occurred to me to do anything with the placenta. I have heard of celebs making it into tablets and taking them, allegedly it helps with weight loss but at the same time could just be a load of rubbish. If you feel the urge to do something with it, go for it!

@SammiLou2312 great to hear your birth story, the bit about your waters made me laugh! Hope you are settling in well to parenthood, can't wait to join you in a few weeks!

@SunStruck I am hoping to breastfeed and also haven't had any luck expressing by hand so far but I have seen bits of white on my nipples every now and again which I am assuming must be colostrum! I don't think having the colostrum is that vital, but getting as much help as possible at the hospital will be a massive help.
Thanks for the tips @Knotemma @footprintsintheslow and @tmc14 I will check those resources out!

@MOGMOGMOG85 sorry to hear about your partners grandad and your difficulties managing things at home. I have had a few bouts of nesting, tend to get one day a week when I really want to sort things then regret it all massively the next day! I hope you are able to find a way to work around each other, I also find it very enfuriating that I can't do everything I used to, especially moving furniture. I have asked dh to rotate the footstool (a big storage one that is v heavy) about ten times and it pissed me off every time I look at it!

We had our midwife appt yesterday and discussed birth plan, which was all very exciting. Hoping to be able to use a birth pool and midwife was very supportive of all my wishes and said it is very important I have an enjoyable labour as it is something I will remember forever which I thought was very sweet. She is supposed to actually be at my birth so it will be nice to have that continuity to the end. Baby's head is now 2/5 palpable and I'm getting period pain sort of twinges so it's all going in the right direction 😬 could still be a few weeks but the end is in sight!

@footprintsintheslow live your scan picture, that is certainly a round tummy, how cute! Ours has long legs too, I'm hoping that's why my bump is measuring 97th centile!

Glad to hear your scan went well too @Shefliesonherownwings it's all a bit of a guessing game really isn't it and depends so much on babies position on the day!

@footprintsintheslow glad your scan went well!

Induction is on Saturday and I am soooo ready! In bed as I’m so tired, pelvic pain is killing me, I’ve pulled something in my ribs so can’t move haha and tightenings are getting more frequent! Really hoping this means things are getting going so won’t take as long (wishful thinking!)
