Hey hun, she is beautiful! I will have a look at ur birth story when i have 5 mins!! Lana was born via section coz she got stuck and her heart rate started to drop. i was absolutely gutted coz i had tried so hard to not have much pain relief and stuff and was doing so well! And Ben was amazing which really surprised me! He cried when she was born, bless!! But the section wasnt too bad apart from the fact im b loody sure i wasnt supposed to feel that much pain! But its over now. cant believe its been a week already!! I love her to bits!!! I cant believe im not preggers anymore! I kinda miss it! Havent been out yet coz the journey home from the hospital on weds nite was agony, so staying at home for a bit, apart from a quick trip to docs tomorro and trip to register lana on tues. so exciting!

Sounds like ur doing really well too. u r braver than me, venturing to the shops already! I really wana go shopping coz all my c;lothes are horrid and old now, and all my trousers are rubbin my new scar so want some new! Any excuse!!
Take care and keep in touch hun.

xx

tjones - Tuesday, 8 July
Okay thanks, and it must be the ones that is for Pregnancy right? If you remember which one you ordered from I would appreciate it if you forward the info to me. I trust your judgement since I see that you are a midwife. Thanks, Tia.


tjones - Saturday, 5 July

hellie - Saturday, 5 July

hope ur ok hun, and ur having a wonderful labour!xx


tjones - Saturday, 5 July
What is a ten's machine? Thanks


hellie - Friday, 4 July
Hey you,

I have had a painful night! Been up for frequent loo trips and each time there have been what I think were contractions, got up again at 4 this morning coz they were quite sore, but now they have gone again!!!

Thats good that you have a date for induction, so at least you have something to focus on! Although, we all lie in hope that the bubs will come on their own, though it sounds like your littleun is sure tyring to now! I was gona do the relaxing thing last night but by the time i thought about it, it was too late! But i relaxed on the sofa instead! I might give it a go tonight (last night before being induced tomorro!) Ben has day off today so we have planned our last day out as 'just a couple' which will be nice!

Also had a lovely day yesterday, coz stole bens car and went out and about for the day, just hjaving a brouse through the shops and stuff which i love to do! It just feklt great to get out the house! Think i was getting cabin fever!

Anyway, Hope you are doing great too and i recon its gona be a busy weekend for both of us!!!

xxxxxx


hellie - Thursday, 3 July
Hey,

Yippee! things are finally happening for you! Lets hope its the start of something!! I had a very uneventful night im afraid! I dont get it! I did evrything yesterday - the ball, curry, walk, acupressure, even the nipple thing!! And i cant remember if i told you, they have moved my induction to saturday so ive gota wait another day! I dont wana! im loosing all hope. Do you think i need to see the mnidwife again before i go to be induced? Gettin bit worried coz i dont think i feel Pip move around much anymore. but i dont know if thats coz im always doin stuff and i dont tend to feel him/her unless im relaxing? I have a kick chart thing that the hospital gave me but finding it hard to fill in!! Urgh!!

Congratulations on loosing ur plug!! It is exciting when things start happening!! (If i remember correctly!) Ive been loosing mine since monday, and some last week. Cant believe there is soooo much of it, and in so many colours! Its gross! Hope you have a good day! Today is a good day to have a baby!!!xxx


hellie - Wednesday, 2 July
hiya. Did have an induction booked for friday which was great knowing there is light at the end of the tunnel, but midwife just phoned to say they have someone else thats further gone than me and they need her in first, so I am now booked in for sat. I know its only 1 day, but i am gutted!! I feel a complete failure, coz my body dont work properly! Dont get it!! Plus the constant texts and facebook messages asking if baby has arrived yet are doing my head in!! I think i am too tired, but cant go to sleep coz ended up looking after niece AGAIN! Gona slap my sister silly if she thinks im looking after her again tomorro! I am nackered!

On the plus side (there is one somewhere, im sure) I have been having pains during the day today, but they are very quick and over before i know it, but i am hoping its just labour kicking in for tonight!!! There is always hope! Wat the hell am i gona do for another 2 days!!!!

Its up to you hun, about being induced. Isnt the second child usually later than first (or is that other way around!) Maybe hold off till monday? It depends on howq your feeling i guess.

hellie - Wednesday, 2 July
Hey you, how are you doing today? Ive been up since 4am coz all my joints and bits are aching like crazy, could not get comfy, couldnt get up to go to the loo so figured it was easier just to get up!!

Fingers and toes crossed for today!x


hellie - Tuesday, 1 July
I was hopeful yesterday for me, coz i was so positive about the sweeps, and so were the midwives, but now, i have nothing...no pain, no contractions, no bh, no nothing!!! Ive been looking after my 4 yr old niece all day so i am nackered! Although, baby does feel lower again now, so thats a good thing! Ive found Ben says 'So, Pip might come out today', every morning, so i think maybe he is jinxing it!! Im gona forbid him to say it now!

Anyhow, smiley-bump-face, tc and fingers are crossed for us both for later!!x


hellie - Tuesday, 1 July
I cant believe our bubs are making us wait till week 41!

I am loving your profile pic! Is that ur belly?! Its a work of art!

I didnt like the tea to start with, but it grew on me quickly and i actually loved it by the time i ran out! Havent got round to getting more yet tho! I have stopped loosing mucus now (i think) had a very tight tummy last night and was in a wee bit of pain but fell back to sleep again, and hey presto, pain gone in the morning! Although, saying that, I think i was having very light contractions earlier today but v irregular. Ben got all excited but i sent him to work, coz he would just be following me around all day else! I think the doc at the hospital said i was 2cm. I guess that means 2cm dialated? or effaced or something! I dunno! My brain is completely frazzled now!!!

I hope you had sturn words with ur other half after that!! I wouldve gone mad! Mabe you could make a feature of the furry woodwork!

So here we go again, the start of another week, still preggers!!
xx


bethk - Tuesday, 1 July
Thanks for ur reply.. I had a check up and they checked me over, turns out it was my mucus plug! Just was expectin bloody colour but they said its completely normal for it to be whitish/yellowish lol. All that and I should have just asked my MW! Duh hehe xxxx


hellie - Monday, 30 June
Yeah, he can be a pain aswell tho!! But he has been looking after me! I am such a cowbag to him sometimes! Was watching Hollyoaks yesterday with him, and ended up crying and howling like a banchee at the end of it, which had him in hysterics, he is gona use that against me for years to come!!! I also got some baby stuff on sat, got some moses basket sheets (but at this rate baby will be too big for the basket!) and some cute baby gros (mothercare have a sale on!) Ohhh, and some disposable pants for me!!! Wat a treat!

I keep hearing of people having crazy nesting sprees, then having baby very soon after, so you never know!

I looked at ur questionare, isnt your other half gona be there for the birth? Ben is still in 2 minds as to whether he'll be able to cope (whether HE WILL BE ABLE TO COPE - HAHAHA!!!)but ive told him to come and if he cant take it leave (but he had better not!!)

How come your sweep aint till Thurs? Thats ages away! You are so patient!

I am looking around now, trying to figure out where to move the sofa too! Im bored of how all my rooms are arranged!!x


hellie - Monday, 30 June
Well thats a relief! Let hope its right! How have you been this weekend? My poor bf has been frantically trying to find things for us to do to a)get me outa the house and b) to stop me going insane and probably c) to stop me from taking it out on him!! Bless! So saturday we were out all day and i had a good day, it ALMOST took my mind off the fact I am STILL preggers! Although went to a friends, who have had their bub 3 wks ago, so that didnt help!

Another sweep today, woohoo! Fingers and toes and everything else crossed!! Hope you are good hun.xx


DonnaG - Saturday, 28 June
Thank you for your comment! All the best!!!


hellie - Friday, 27 June
Also, do you ever get cramps in your lower abdomen, like a tightening? Ive been getting that now for half an hr or so, and it bloody hurts!!!


hellie - Friday, 27 June
Hey u. How are you feeling today? I am completely fed up with it all now! I keep thinking i should enjoy these last precious moments with Pip inside me but I just want to go into labour now! Starting to resent everything and everyone! Can we be induced early? I have had bad ear infections for a month now that wont clear up and my hearing is getting worse and worse, scared i wont hear bub once its finally born! I think thats a good reason to be induced early! NEED antibiotics!! Urrrgh!!

Have u managed to get an apppintment sorted for your pains?

Oh, I forgot to mention, I think I lost solme of my mucus plug this morning. It was gooey and red in colour so im assuming thats wat it was. But ive read its not necessarily a sign that im gona go straight into labour unfortunately!

Have you had any signs yet?x


catsa79 - Friday, 27 June
Hi I just got home from the hospital I had a little boy on Monday 23rd June, his name is Cooper Daniel... I hope you have had your baby by now
