Hey all. My name is Kristi-Anne and I'm from the UK. Have decided to sign up after following this site for many weeks. I am 12 weeks and 2 days today (22/02) with my first pregnancy. My partner and I, Ben, are over the moon and still can't believe we're going to be parents. I was in a baby shop today and picked up a little sleep suit, Ben put it in his arms and I literally cried.. I am so emotional at the moment ha ha, quite funny really. Good luck to all of you... This is so much fun! x
Wednesday 27th February
So I am officially 13 weeks today. I had my 3rd scan yesterday which was my official dating scan.. was wonderful to see our baby again. It turned it's head away so it didn't have its face in the picture, just like its parents ha ha! it wasn't as active as the 10 week scan but still a very strong heartbeat. I still can't get over the fact its growing inside me. I love it! So I'm still getting bad headaches,,, just now and again and not too sure why but I am living with them. My mum and dad bought me my first pressie for the baby - a little sleep suit set, its so cute, Ben and I have said we are not going to get anything as yet. It's so frustrating I so want to know if its a little boy or girl!
Thursday 6th March
Had the midwife today and syked myself up for the 2nd lot of blood tests and found out I was too early to have the down's testing. Heard the heart beat today for the first time was nice and strong, was 160 bpm. Also had the tests back regards rubella etc.. all good, can't believe how healthy and fine I am. Oh and I've lost a pound ha ha.
Thursday 20th March
Time for an update for all of u reading my page.. welcome! I am 16 weeks and a day today, feels like it is taking forever. Had another midwife appointment today for the downs screening, the blood test wasn't too bad actually she's very careful my midwife. I was weighed again and have lost another 2lbs thats a total of 3 over my pregnancy which is normal apparently shows that the baby is getting its nutrients from me. Heard the heartbeat again, was really strong ranging from 146-158 and it was moving and doing somersaults lol. My uterus is where it should be also, a couple of inches from my belly button, I'm just not showing! Have to ring up in 2 weeks time to get downs results so cross fingers, toes and anything else u can cross he he...... going to traet myself tonight to fish and chips.. i can tell its going to be a good meal. Don' see my midwife now till 25 weeks... going to miss it but find out sex 21st April woo hoo x
Thursday 3rd April
AFP tests all came back as negative YES!!!!!!!!! Still haven't felt the baby move yet and I'm starting to panic. My friend at work is 3 weeks ahead of me and she felt it at 16 weeks... Y haven't I felt it yet.. why? Has anyone else had this problem? Any advice would be fab. Find out the sex of the baby 21st April (not long now)
Tuesday 8th April
Had a few shooting pains today and was worried but after talking to all u guys I feel happier now so thank you. However I would just like to add.. I feel MASSIVE today... ha ha. p.s def feeling my little baby tap now its a lovely feeling.
Monday 21st April
I had my scan today and found out it was a BOY!! woo hoo, so happy as that is what ben and I wanted. It was the best feeling in the world, all measurements were perfect and I cried... He was trying to put his foot in his mouth. I love him so much.. my little boy x

izziebo - Monday, 8 September
it took 4 days of prostin so they wernt all shoved up at once lol but as soon as he broke my waters thats when the pains started badly thick and fast and ouchy
make sure they know your wanting an epidoodle coz it might go VERY gfast if u end up getting induced n u might be too far along to get one etc n they dnt tend to check you for a few hours after they do break your waters etc lol its pretty annoying xxx
Newmommamel - Monday, 8 September
Hi! I just got home from the hospital. I am so IN LOVE with my baby boy! Nothing can compare to becoming a mother. I will be updating with pics and birth story soon.
Haven't looked around yet, how are things with you?!
shaunac - Monday, 8 September
hey you. hope you are doing ok. i understand how you feel. im like 10 days over and my body is doing nothing and everyone is going into labor....even jo now. i feel defective
ameylocket23 - Monday, 8 September
dunno why men do that!! And y do they leave their skid marked boxers in the middle of the floor?? yuk?? Would we leave our bloody or discharged stained knickers in full view for everyone to see?? erm, dont think so!!!
Aint seen donna for a few days now.. its cool shes happy!! Im really pleased for her!! Mmmm - domino's!! Cant be eaten unless the base is the dominator mind!! It does feel strange not being pregnant.. ya get a bit of trapped wind and ya think its the baby wriggling!! feels strange! and a 2 stone weight gain is perfectly normal.. i put on 7 n a half stone when i was pregnant with my first as i had pre-eclampsia.. i was HUGE!!! Th midwife came over today and said "woah, u look skinny, doesnt look like u had a baby 10 days ago"... made me feel good cuz i still got 2 stone to shift!! x
izziebo - Monday, 8 September
lol andy freaked out about sex towards the end which kinda csucked coz we didnt get back toigether till i was 30 weeks pregnant n i was MASSIVE then lol but i just raped him lol
i used to tease him n then jump opn him so fast he couldnt say no hahaha
however it didnt work none of it bloody worked she was juuuust toooo comfy. Walking is apparently good coz it gets them down in to your pelvis but even that didnt work for me just try not to stress.
in a way it was good tht we got induced coz we managed to go out for a really nice meal and a nice drinky poo the night b4 we went in to hospital n had a dead nice night with lots of kissys and sexy time so the induction was ncie coz we managed to have that one last night as just been a couple but it was bad in a way it played with my depression coz i felt i cudnt give brth n it made me sad and the fact coz it took so much to get me goign it bloody hurt haha
youll be fiiiiiiine tho, not many ppls fannys are stubbourn as mine lol usually it works after 2 at the most prostins lol xxxxx
Donnax - Monday, 8 September

aftinjoy - Monday, 8 September

hopeful2008 - Sunday, 7 September
i know what you mean, i spend a lot of time on here too, i reckon its like FACEBOOK for pregnant people, i love it!
My daughter does all sorts of dancing, Ballet, Tap, Acro, Modern, Lyrical, Song and Dance, cabaret, just about everything, actually if you look on my photos, there is one of her on last years festival in her lyrical solo costume, its not the best photo, had trouble down loading it onto here, but its beautiful, shes doing that one again this year too.
Right im off too now,
catch you tomorrow unless anything major happens in the mean time wehey!! xxx
ameylocket23 - Sunday, 7 September
i thought i was gonna have a HUGE baby .. plus being 12 days over too... so dont fret cuz my bubz was only 7 lbs 1... i was worried but it was all fine!! Me and my bloke are together, but we argue all the time cuz hes more interested in his social life and raving.. hes REALLY immature and its gets to me in a big way.. plus - hes the biggest slob EVER!!! and im a clean freak.. so it doesnt really mix well... its hard doing it alone.. but u kinda adapt to it and you get into a routine.. its hard to begin with, but it soon gets easy!! And youve only put on a stone n a half?? i put on 3 stone 10 lbs!! Ive lost 1 stone 6 lbs so far.. its only been 9 days.. so im gonna work really har to try n get the rest off - not fun!! I had a microwave lasagne for my dinner - yummy (not)!! x
hopeful2008 - Sunday, 7 September
definately mate.
You know my hubby took my daughter to dancing today, (its the festival coming up so she has had an extra day in to practice thr troupe stuff) anyway all he got whilst he was there was, oh its the 3rd baby syndrome, it could be a really long hard labour and really painful, the induction might not work - which means a section if it doesnt - i mean for goodness sake, what were they trying to do!!! I was well P'd off actually, fancy saying that to someone whos 3rd baby is due imminently!!!! Some people have no brains or nothought for others what so ever. Im just glad i wasnt there to hear them, i may have said something!
Speaking of the teas, ive just made myself the 3rd of the day, and i'll manage another before i go to bed, it is getting a bit much now lol.
Anyway take care hun xxxxxx
hopeful2008 - Sunday, 7 September
Oh god, yeah i watched that, it was really sad, but at the same time i looked at my hubbys face and i could see that he was worried straight away - thats the last thing you wanna hear hey!
I know what you mean about giving up, im a bit like that myslef, but ive kept up the tea purely and simply cos i KNOW it will help in labour and thats what im focused on now. I do think left alone, these babies come when THEY are good and ready, wether mum likes it or not. Little monkeys hu!
I can understand Ben being aprehensive, my hubby was like that first time round. Makes you wonder though what the baby senses and feels!! EWW rather not think about it hahaha.
stay chilled mate xxxx
izziebo - Sunday, 7 September
well amy was only 6lb 8oz lol i was convinced she was gonna be massive as i got really fat but it was alllll fluid
the sweep doesnt hurt as such just make sure ur relaxed it reminded me of losing my virginity that irritating pain u get when u lose it lol
youll be fine, the worst bit is the waiting tho xxx
izziebo - Sunday, 7 September
i went 15 days over in the long run but went in to hospit on the 10th day n was sent home as they were too busy n then was booked in when i was 11 days over
my induction didnt work i had to have 4 prostin inserted over 4 days (friday sat sun and monday) and my waters had to be broken and after that it was AGONY but thats coz i had too many hromes in my system etc n the midwives etc were fab about it i got an epidural fit when i was only 2 cm dilated and they were really caring and good so in the long run it was better
hopefulyl you wont get induced but if you do it probably wnt take as long as my lazy baby lol
youll probablyet a sweep done at your 40+ appointment:) good luck and hope it all goes well for you xxxxxx
hopeful2008 - Sunday, 7 September
OMG, the thought of having another 8 days OOOOOHHHHHH NNNNOOOOOO WWWWWAAAAAAYYYYYY lol.
i cried last week when i saw the consultant agian, when she said we'll induce you on tuesday, it seemed like and eternity to wait, but in fairness its coming round reasonably quickly. I have to be in for tomorrow night anyway so real close now.
Im gonna miss being at home but it will feel better knowing that hopefully all the pain and stuff ive been having will be gone or at least diminished a BIT! heheeh.
Oh mate, you got me feeling really sorry for you now, another 8 days, no way, ok heres what to do, go buy the supermarket out of fresh pineapples and eat them as much as you can in one go, ive been eating a whole one at a time, its supposed to be similar to rasp tea, encourages unerine activity. Plus side is that it tastes better than the tea too hehhe, you could always make it into a smoothie or something.
Failing that LOTS AND LOTS of sex!!! uncomfortable i know only to well infact in my case not manages it much at all (i know TMI) i dont know about where you are but the midwives here give you a special blend of aromatherapy oils that you put in the bath, something like 6mls in a bottle and you use 2drops at a time or something like that, think its clary sage, and something but cant just remember what the other oil is, but they wont give it you unless your overdue. maybe thats an avenue worth going down???
OMG anything to help you. Are you walking loads? id say hot curry but i tried that last time and it didnt do a thing.
The only other thing i can suggest is Reflexology, i had some on the tuesday afternoon and Freya was born the next morning! i was 10 days over so it could have been coincidental but it was money well spent as i was so relaxed afterwards, when thinking about it, thats probably what finally set me off, i should have been induced the day after she was born!
Well, there's a few things for you to be going on with, and if nothing else, it will keep you occupied hehehehehe,
Take care honey xxxxxx
Judesmama - Sunday, 7 September
Hi! Sorry for the novel. I'm just sending this to all of you, because I have too many messages to respond to individually! LOL...you girls are the best. Thank you for all of your kind words and your love and friendship. Yes, baby Jude and I are home now. Our first night went very well. He is taking the Soothies bottles very well, and wakes to eat every 3-4 hours. My milk came in
WHOA!!! LOL...get ice packs on those babies! I'm not nursing at all this time, so I need it to go away. And the most exciting thing for me is that I was able to have a BM!!!!! LOL...you have no idea how much I dread that after pushing a watermelon out.
I am feeling OK, but I am still really in need of prayer. I didn't put it up in my birth story, but I had a terrible scare after Jude was born. About an hour after delivering I got up to go to the bathroom and started hemmorhaging. Blood clots were everywhere! I sat on the toilet and asked the nurse if that was normal. She RAN out of the room and when she came back she handed me 6 Cytotec pills...and THAT scared the crap out of me. Cytotec is used for abortions, and causes extreme contractions of the uterus, often leading to uterine rupture and can cause death. I was so scared to take 6 of those pills but I felt like I had no choice. It was either take them, or sit there and bleed to death. So, I quickly took them and prayed that God would protect me from the possible effects. Within seconds I felt funny. The nurse looked at me and asked if I was OK, I said I didn't feel good. All of a sudden everything went white and I went down. I could hear voices all around me, they sounded far away, and I was unable to respond. They kept asking me questions and I could not move. I felt paralyzed. I wanted to close my eyes so badly but they kept telling me not to. I just kept hearing, "she has no color", "her eyes are glazed", "she is burning up". Thye kept saying "Angie, Angie, Angie...come on", but I could not move. I knew I had gone in to shockand was likely dying. Finally I heard a nurse say "Anige, don't look down, look up at the ceiling." So, I forced my eyes to look up and that is when they carried me to my bed. They took my BP and it was skyhigh. They were staring at me like I was already gone! But
slowly, I began to cool off and respond to their questions. One nurse said "You are my hero. How did you come back from that?" And another said, "Don't ever do that again." While all of this was happening, my husband was holding baby Jude and crying his eyes out. He was sure he was watching me die. For the next 2 hours I laid in bed shaking like a madwoman as the Cytotec did it's job of contracting my uterus to stop the bleeding. They told Matt he was not allowed to leave me that night (he wouldn't have after that anyway). Throughout the night the nurses kept pushing on my belly and blood would gush out. They never told me how worried they were, but I could see it in their eyes. By God's grace I came around and the bleeding is much less now. I did have another scare last night, though. I had fallen asleep but all of a sudden felt so terrible that I jerked on my husband to wake him. My heart was racing uncontrollably, my back was throbbing, I felt so nauseous and like I was going to go unconscious again. The room was spinning and I was so terrified of having internal bleeding. He got me a cold cloth and sat me down in a cool room until it passed. My back still hurts awfully. I'm not sure if it's from pushing the baby out or if it's uterine related. They said that the reason I had hemmorhaged was because of the fast labor and delivery. I went from 3 cm to pushing him out in just 2 hours. The pitocin made everything go too fast and hard, and it cause a great trauma to my uterus that it could not recover from. But, I am doing OK and we are enjoying our new baby. It sure is a miracle that it didn't turn out for the worse. Thank you all for your love and prayers. As many of you are preparing to have your babies,
remember that it is still so dangerous. Even after having 4 previously I could never have anticipated the trouble I would have this time. I can't wait until you all have birth stories to share so we can chit chat about our babies. I am changing my name...
Love, Judesmama

mastitis is basically blocked milk ducts, im not sure why i have got it before birth as obviously no milk yet but on that side i have leaked a lot of clostrum so guess thats the reason, its megga megga painful, usually when you get it once baby is born they give you antibiotics and you feed through it (which is excrutiating) but it helps to free blockages, but obviously i cant do that so have had to rely on antibiotics alone, thankflly they have worked quickly and its not too painful anymore, it makes you have a high temperature and you feel really unwell with it, i couldnt believe it when i got that - i though OMG as if i havent had enough LOL,
you can have up to 4 cups a day of rasp tea, thats what ive been having since 34 weeks, i started early as that was when they told me they may induce me at 38 wks, but that didnt happen. However it should have a good effect on the labour now though YEY!!!
I know what you mean about getting sick if it though, its not exactly the most pleasant of tasting drinks is it? its not unbearable but not the best.
You can get the capsules but my m/w told me the tea was stronger so i went for that, i think the capsules are better if you cant stand enough of the tea.
OMG i hope your still not here by the time i get back, that will make you well overdue! Perish the thought hey!!
Well lots of labour dust coming your way then,
All the best momma, hang on in there xxxx
hopeful2008 - Sunday, 7 September
oh mate, have you got about 1GB of space on here and about 4 hours to read it!!! Ive had loads of problems with this pregnancy, they've managed to drag it out till my due date but i can tell you its been such a long hard slog.
Ive had a real fast heart rate throughout, have this anyway but made worse in pregnancy, have to go back on 19th sept to see the cardiologist again, i have arthritis and this has flared up big time at the moment, so on top of the usual back pain, ligament pain in the tummy and all other aches and pains in pregnancy, thats been a real hinderance, I have SPD quite bad too, worse sometimes than others, erm, i have mastitis at the moment, NIGHTMARE - only usally get that once babies are born - i had to be different/!! lol, the main thing is my iron levels, they were low, had iron tabs but made me real sick, so had spatone sachets but my iron was still dropping on them, so had to go into hospital for an iron infusion, that was really scary, had to have a crash trolley outsie my room for the 7 and half hours it took to go in apparently there is a high risk of anaphylaxis and cardiac arrest - was HORRIBLE! i could go on and on with other stuff thats gone wrong but as i said id be here all day and youd be sitting here wishing youd never asked lol.
So yeah basically thats a few reasons why they are inducing me and it is on my actual due date.
Also, they are thinking that the baby is big, at 34wk scan baby weighed 5lb 12oz then! but they are not sure now if i have a lot of fluid or not, plus my last delivery i gave birth on the hall floor as it was so quick, so they want to be safe with that too,
Its all been quite a nightmare but at last coming to an end!
I really feel for you being 4 days over, my last one i went 10 days over and that was so soul destroying.
Ive had loads of real strong BH, i put that down to the raspberry tea ive had, but it doesnt seem to be amounting to anything else, have had crampy pains but nothing consistent.
Well, i really hope and pray for you that you dont go much more if any more over your date, bless you!
lets hope and pray that tonight is the night then for you.
Keep me posted on how you get on, i wish you loads of luck and dont be scared mate, you'll be fine.
Take care hun xxxx

mumsie26 - Sunday, 7 September
they say the baby doesn`t move much near the end andteh movements can be differnet more like shifting , as long as you check he is ok every so often as if the movements slow down it can be distress i don`t want to alarm you just letting you know to keep andeye on him,if he doesn`t move you need to get checked out,ok,, thats why i prod my tummy to check he is ok when he has long periods of bot moving on his own.
yes it can be scry but as long as you monitor him you wil feel he is safe.
the heartbeat should be very low down if he is engaged i can feel babys with my fingers if i concentrate, you can also mistake the heartbeat for your own pulse or the umbilical cord, but as long as he moves when you prod him and you feel ok then don`t worry yourself..
your 4 days over due, my first was a boy and he was 6 days over due the longest over out of all of them..
i hope i don`t go that far or more over.. just cos i have school runs adn kids already so its differnt when you already have children,convenient..
well good luck thinking of you and any worries don`t be afraid to phone the labour ward thats what they are there for... catch ya later xxxx wub
hopeful2008 - Sunday, 7 September
No mate, i wish! id love to avoid induction but im fearing thats not gonna be the case! still at least i know the end is near and thats a great feeling, no more uncertainty, baby arives tuesday or if i continue to be real unlucky wednesday at the latest! I go in on monday evening though, having some more reflexology monday afternoon too so hopefully should be all realxed and ready to go tuesday morning then!
How bout you - what happening, any signs yet???
mumsie26 - Sunday, 7 September
gosh i so wish!!! no bo ho ,i felt different last night and thought he may be here today but nothing, hes not moving much again, but will when i prod him, have to keep checking just in case.. i gather your little one is still snug too? well i hope we don`t go too over i think we have waited long enough now lol.. good luck babe.. wub
Judesmama - Sunday, 7 September
