Due Feb 2013!!

bp

your poor friend, the two of us should moan together/ bounce on our balls/ drink tea! :-)

I don't fancy it either

kitten_k

Did they give you an actual day for induction?

bp

no - back with the doc tomorrow week, and if it isn't here yet by then I have to discuss it then....come on out baby for me and kk's friend!

kitten_k

Hopefully you will go before then!

bp

fingers crossed....is there any movement with your friend?

I am hoping the show is a good sign!

kitten_k

No movement, she hasn't had a show or anything!

Expecting The Unexpected

Morning. One miracle baby boy born yesterday. 7ilbs and 11 Oz. reduced movement, induction, heart beat dropped, emergency section, cord around babies neck three times.

Both of us are doing great now. All very frightening.

Best of luck to everyone. Will be back on in a few days.

kitten_k

Congratulations Expecting. Hope you and baby are doing well!

So we were back in the hospital this morning, if she has not gone by next Thursday she has to go for a scan (I am out Wednesday night for my mam's 50th so will have to be careful what I drink) and then if she hasn't gone by Saturday they will bring her in to be induced (my mam's 50th birthday party is Saturday night!!!)

She is happy she finally has an idea what will happen if baby doesn't come on it's own.

My perfect little man arrived by C-section on the 8th Feb. 7lb 4 which is huge for me as I'm not even 5'. Congrats to all who've already had their babies, it is amazing and I don't think anyone can prepare you for how wonderful it is.

kitten_k

Congratulations NBO. Lots of little boys being born.

Hopefully everyone starts moving soon

Expecting The Unexpected

Hi ladies, now a few days after giving birth and thought I would check in! There has been some action!!!! Congratulations BP!!! Please tell me you called the baby Valentine!! Or Romeo?!

Everyone still waiting to pop for the first time please don't be nervous. So many people tell you dramatic stories and I had it tough enough but would do it all again right now without question. It's sounds hippy ish but at the time I really felt like and kept thinking my body was made for this and with every contraction it just felt right.

Yellow hen the delivery suite in the Coombe was really modern and a lovely room. You have nothing to worry about.

Tilly Tally

Hi everyone and congratulations to all the new mummies and babies-well done everyone!!

Baby Josh arrived on Feb 11th weighing 8lbs 11oz - so delighted with him, he's perfect if a bit of a shock size wise...ouch! Home since Thursday and its a very steep learning curve. He's a hungry baby so I seem to be feeding around the clock, surviving on two hours sleep right now with no chance of naps because of visitors. But sure i wouldn't change a thing with him either!!

Good luck to all the expectant mummies!

kitten_k

Congrats Tilly!!!!

God girls im not due for another 11 days but im desperate to get this guy out. just not able for two toddlers while heavily pregnant. Im so jealous of all u that have had your babies!! congrats all

MistyCheese

Pains started Friday 5pm, went into the hospital Saturday at 2pm where I was assessed and declared 1 -2 cms dilated.

5am Sunday I asked for some more pain relief as I was pretty bad. I was examined again and told... 1 - 2 cms dilated. I couldn't believe it, 5 days overdue and nothing happening for 15 hours!!

They induced me at that point and at 12:17 my daughter was born. Her father blubbered like a teen at a One Direction concert.

Congrats to all the Feb mammies so far and good luck to the Feb mams-to-be.

kitten_k

It may have started. She woke me at 5.10 to say that she has been getting pains. They are not very frequent or strong so she is sitting on her ball watching tv hoping to move it along.

kitten_k

Well it was a false alarm. Pains started at 3, she woke me around 5. Pain continued until 9.30 and then just stopped!! Her stomach still felt really tight and baby wasn't moving as much as normal so she rang the hospital and they said go in.

We went in and they done a scan to check the fluid and a trace on baby's heartbeat. All is fine so the plan remains the same, another scan on Thursday and induction on Saturday.

yellow hen

Congrats misty cheese... Your comment re your oh made me laugh, I think mine would be the exact same!! Not dilating after such a long time is my worst fear great that little one arrived safe anyway.

Kitten k.... Total bummer to gt your hopes up only to find out it was a fakes alarm. Hopefully they were every strong braxton hicks indicating that labour is imminent. Fingers crossed!

kitten_k

YH the midwife said that it normal for first time mothers to have pains and then stop.

Sorry if it is TMI but she just had her show! So at least we are heading in the right direction.

No the more information the better!! Sounds like things will happen in the next few days! Good luck!

kitten_k

Thanks YH. She will be delighted if she goes naturally instead of being induced.

How you getting on?

yellow hen

I'm grand. 4 days left in work, 2.5 weeks to due date and feeling it at the minute. Back beginning to get sore and I'm exhausted but ill be grand. I love reading everyone else's waiting periods so I get a better idea of what's coming. I'm a terribly impatient person so it'll be interesting to see how I cope when it's completely out of my control!

Don't worry too much, they can give you Pitocin to help you along in the early stages and if your labour is still slow in the delivery room, Oxytocin.

Mine was slow and there was talk of c-section because the waters were discolored. One of the nurses checked me after about 2 hours and I was still not even 3 cms. Then they started me on the Oxytocin. After another 3 hours or so I was checked again and the nurse asked if I'd like the really good news.

It ran through my mind "she's gonna say 'section'", at that point I would've welcomed it coz I just wanted it to be over. No, instead she declared "You're 10 cms, time to start pushing." The relief in the room was so palpable you could've cut it with a knife! And that was (almost) it, less than an hour later she was out.

So here's hoping you have a lovely, straight forward, as uneventful as possible delivery.

kitten_k

I am sure you be fine. Hopefully the rest of the week goes quick in work for you.
