So exciting!! Best of luck with it!!Well today is the day ladies. Induction at 7pm.
Lol oh that also continues once they're born. I ordered some questionable stuff during night feedsSo exciting!! Best of luck with it!!
9 more weeks today for me. Up half the night spending money here
Awww enjoy every minuteAhhh I’m 20 weeks today…. Halfway!
It’s such a weird feeling because I know this will be my last pregnancy x
Congratulations hope you are both home soon xxSo I was right, baby Wophie was born today at 15:15 weighing 7lbs 4oz via vaginal delivery. 16 hour labour and managed on just gas and air until 9cm dialated.
I spent from 11pm yesterday until 5am today at home with cramps until they turned into regular contractions. Got told to come into triage and as we don't drive we'd be allowed to then stay in regardless of how progressed I was. I was only 2cm and spent 3 hours labouring in triage on a trace due to his heart rate dropping during a vaginal examination which wasn't fun. I think because I spent that time being active the trace wasn't picking up my contractions well, as an absolute witch of a midwife that just started shift told me to go home on the bus as I was in early labour and not in enough pain, and refused to even examine me?!
I just loitered in the hospital grounds until I got to the point I was squatting and mooing in maternity reception so took myself back into triage after only and hour and voila I'm 4cm! Moved to CLU where I progressed to 9cm in about 2 hours (so a bigto the mean midwife from triage) where I laboured on all fours with gas and air and finally got my epidural at 9cm. Two hours later I pushed out beautiful baby boy out in 15 minutes.
I have to stay in tonight and unfortunately baby boy has been taken down to NICU intensive care as his oxygen levels aren't great and has suspected infection. He's stable and doing well, but I'm devistated as this is exactly what happened with my daughter 3 years ago so I really blame my body. I'm up on the postnatal ward alone hoping to get some sleep and will go see him first thing in the morning, but my heart breaks not having him by my side
Oh you've just knocked some sense into me! I have spent the last couple of weeks moaning about various things but this is going to be my last pregnancy too so I should really be trying to enjoy it and soak up every minuteAhhh I’m 20 weeks today…. Halfway!

They divert you to the closest hospital!Urgh I’m having a hyperemesis flare up. I was sick 5 times last night and couldn’t keep water down, it got to midnight and I know the signs of dehydration so I rang MAU as the cyclizine, ondanestron and omeprazole weren’t doing the job. They said normally we would tell you to come in for more drugs/drips but we’re closed because we’re at full capacity so ring 111 and wait for an out of office dr to call you back, or try us again in a couple of hours. I managed to doze off and luckily I feel ok this morning but I keep thinking what would they have said if I rang and said I was in labour
I work with small kids so I feel this!Well I don’t want to offend anyone’s tastes. It might be our area… some people have quite nasally accents. Although I stand by the fact a name can be beautiful but called in a voice you don’t like is always going to grate.
- Amelia (love this name but they were either following us the whole day or there’s a load of Amelias now) and honestly “Aaaameeeeeeliaaaaaaahhhhhhh” has done my head in today
- Ashton (Ashton, Ashton…. Ashton)
- Jayden (Ashton’s brother)
Oooohhhh…. Please go on!I work with small kids so I feel this!
Should I actually get to the finish line this time it’s going to be a hard hard time deciding- so many negative connotations with ‘orrible little sods and/or their parents names too.
Honestly- too many to mention! And often it’s your personal issue with these kids or parents that impacts on your perception anyway so to anyone else they’re perfectly fine!Oooohhhh…. Please go on!
Oh TreeTrunksHi guys, sorry I’m not at all caught up
I’m the thread. It’s been a crazy few hours, but baby boy TreeTrunks was born by Caesarean section under general anaesthetic at 7:30pm on 27/8, 12 weeks and 2 days early weighing just under 2lbs. He’s in NICU and doing well. A little jaundiced but otherwise good.He’s on tubes to eat and breathe but that me all normal for his gestation. So I’m trying to keep positive. I got to see him for the first time this morning when they wheeled my bed to NICU. He is tiny but absolutely perfect he got here safely so that’s one of the biggest hurdles down. I’m ok just recovering from the section, and lost a fair bit of blood apparently, also all the morphine just making me feel like a space cadet.
I’m hoping by later today I’ll be able to walk up and see him on my own. Xx
Sending you both lots of loveHi guys, sorry I’m not at all caught up
