Aw Jen hun hope ur both back home soon and she starts to gain it back.

Noah lost 8 something % from what i remember.

Charlie was weighed today and lost 4.3%. I was worried as i wasnt sure how my supply was picking up and milk only came in this morning.

Let us know how she gets on hun xxx

Oh no Jenni Hope Belle is ok and you don't have to stay in. Scary when they lose so much weight but hopefully you are on track and turned a corner with the feeding.

Andrea I was induced at 37+5wks due to his reduced movements, went in 3 times over the weekend before he was born. He is slightly jaundice still but doing fab considering his early arrival. Crazy to think I should still be pregnant and 9 days away from my due date but he has been here 7 days! xx

Rduced movements are the worse, think I went in a total of 7 times with it, but better to be safe than sorry. Thank god he was born safely. My friend gave birth to a little boy last night by emergency section cord was wrapped round his neck and was in distress. Xx

It feels like it's all of a sudden gone SO quiet in here since you've all had your babies....!!! I've had a lovely few days - went shopping yesterday, got my eyebrows done (for the first time ever!) and hair cut this morning. My toddler is being an absolute dream at the moment, he's genuinely being amazing. Hope it keeps going!

MW appt today. Sweep was planned as now 40+2. But unable. My body is so far away from being ready for birth! Induction booked for a weeknon Saturday @ 41+5. Still got 10 more days of waiting, and wondering.

 

[Tigger87]

Oh copterpops I'm sorry. Thats a bit sucky. Remember though, everything can change SO quickly! Xx

 

[Copterpops]

I have been so convinced from the beginning that this baby would need smoked out at the end, that if I did actually start having any contractions, or any signs of labour, I wouldn't believe it. Its just sucks to know that everyone else is having their babies and I'm left behind waiting! This whole pregnancy has dragged, and although I have generally felt fine throughout, I ma really not enjoying it at all.

 

[jem8789]

Copterpops I feel your pain. This baby is going to be dragged out of me kicking and screaming. I've tried to get in touch with my midwife to have a sweep before Friday (I'll be 40+6) but no luck. They're inducing me at 40+12 so next Thursday and I'll be surprised now if I go before that. Baby is stubborn. Takes after daddy!

There's still time yet, with baby number 4 I had a sweep booked but mw couldn't do it as cervix was unreachable and I went into labour the next day so it can change that quickly xx

 

[Poispinner]

Me and OH have been out for lunch today as it will be last time just me and him, for a while anyway. Was lovely but im sleepy now!!

Im ready now, ive done everything I need to do and just want her here now!

 

[Copterpops]

Jem, I'll be the same next Saturday. 40+12. Head isn't even engaged yet. It's been the same 3-4/5ths for the last 10 weeks! I'd love for everything to change, but I just don't see it happening. Met with a friend for lunch today who had a baby last year who helpfully said she wouldn't bother texting me, and would wait until I updated her! Least thatsbine less person to disappoint daily!!

 

[jem8789]

Eurgh just burst into tears over baby's movements. It's having a particularly active time at the moment and has been sticking it's bum and feet out very forcefully. It really really hurts and it won't stop. I don't know what to do!!

I was told holding a bottle of cold water(or something icy) can encourage baby to move away and might give you a bit of relief? Maybe worth a try?

 

[jem8789]

Good plan. Think that may have been baby wiggling into my pelvis to fully engage. My pelvis is killing me! Still don't think labour will be any time soon but maybe my sweep on Friday will help. My midwife never did call me back so I'm just gonna stick it out until then

Evening everyone, due today and still no sign of baby ��. Had a sweep this morning and 1cm dilated and cervix is soft but still quite long but she did manage a good sweep so fingers crossed. x

 

[Copterpops]

Well done Jillygem. Least one of us is making progress!! Fingers crossed today's sweep helps to move things along.

 

[babyslog]

Hope everyone is well!

Dont have 2mins to get on here to reply much at all recently! But iam reading!

Hoping some more May babas arrive this week! Xxx

 

[jem8789]

Baby has gone quiet on me now. Cheeky monkey, now I'm going to be up half the night feeling for movements

On the plus side, I'm having more tightenings... oh wait, we've done this before and nothing happened. Nope, not getting my hopes up this time

Come on May babies! I hope some more make an appearance soon.

We were finally let out of hospital again last night. They were initially concerned about a possible mass on Belle's abdomen so she had blood tests, two x-Ray's and an ng tube down her nose into her tummy. Thankfully it turned out to be a build up of poo as she hasn't been since Sunday, we eventually had a dirty nappy after a suppository!!
We had to feed every 3 hours, top up each feed with formula and express in between, she had put on enough weight in 24 hours for us to then come home.
I was so worried there was something really wrong when they were doing all these tests, but Belle was a little trooper and barely made a sound.

Ahhh Jenny what a relief! So pleased you are both home safe and well.

40+4 today, had a sweep on Monday but unfortunately it hasn't worked. Was told 3cm dilated, head fully engaged in a good position and cervix favourable but alas it didn't send me into labour. Have another booked in for Friday so keeping my fingers crossed, would be nice if little madam would come today!!

 

[jenni16]

Sounds promising brooksy, hopefully means it will be quick when it does happen.

Had a call off the estate agents yesterday, our buyers have pulled out we've spent a fortune already so just got to hope we get another buyer ASAP so we don't lose out on the house we're buying. Gutted isn't the word. Xxx
