*April 2018 Mummies*

[Loula]

Haha considering my first was a week early.
I've given up with contraction counting now it's been going on for so long. Midwife today so hopefully she will sort the induction out. My anxiety is beginning to go through the roof now which is probably stopping labour x

Did you not need a due date induction loula? For your low pappA? You poor love, you must be fed up.

It was never mentioned. I'm not under a consultant just a midwife and because the growth scans have showed good growth with no issues then I am able to go to 41+5 which is another week away.
Definately fed up x

39+4. Was being induced with DS at this point but as my GD sugars are well controlled and she's 50-60th centile they're letting me go until 40+6 So being induced Monday 23rd if she doesn't come sooner.

I'm getting frustrated with following the diet as i just want a bowl of pasta with butter, salt and pepper on for dinner, not have to eat mainly protein which is hammering our shopping budget as well.

And I'd like to eat doughnuts lol.

I've had two sweeps, second one two days ago loosened some mucous plug and she's clearly getting her head further into my pelvis. Keep hoping things will happen every time I go to bed but so far nada.

Dtd, walking, evening primrose oil and aromatherapy stuff on the bump every night.... nothing.

Still a few of us not had our babies yet. Maybe they 're waiting for the nice weather x

But there have been a fair few babies arrived! I’ve been trying to keep the front page updated as we go - anyone here not on the FB group had their babies?

 

[Loula]

She made me wait 10 days but my baby girl arrived yesterday afternoon at 1514 weighing 8lb6oz. Went to the Labour unit at 1300 at 7cm and she was born at 1514. Xx

They were very mild from 7am unto 9am nd then they ramped up.
Rang the unit at 11am and asked to time them. By midday they were every 2 mins lasting up to a minute and really painful I couldn't hack it anymore x

Can you believe it's the end of April tomorrow. Our month is over x

Hi I forgot to update:
I gave birth to my little man Theodore (Theo) on 2/5 at 8:44 weighing 8lb 3oz just making it to the hospital and with only my mother in law there as my mum got stuck in traffic and my husband was doing the school run and thought we had plenty of time!! X
