***January 2017 mummies!*** 3rd Trimester

I was wondering about her too. I hope everything's okay.

 

[Holdingthumbs]

Me too. It's been quite a few days hasn't it...

Bump was measuring small again at my midwife check yesterday so had another growth scan today. Luckily - as before - I just have a very little bump and baby is absolutely fine - bang on where they should be growth-wise and an estimated 5lb 8oz at the moment. Huge relief and pretty amazing to think how compact they must be in there!

I'm sorry to hear about the change to your plan Sprout. Keeping everything crossed for the pool for you xx

 

[Papermoon]

Glad everything is going good with you Holdingthumbs.

Hi girls, sorry I haven't been on in ages things are so busy and lots has gone on. So I was finally induced on Christmas Day, and spent three miserable days trying, but nothing would get me dilated whatsoever so I had all the contractions and none of the progress. Doctors advised a csection or take 24 hour break and try starting induction over. Decided to go for section and my beautiful girls were born at 3.45 and 3.46pm on 28th weighing 6 pounds 6oz and 6 pounds 7oz. I wasn't very well after section so OH has been doing almost everything for them which is frustrating for me as I want to cuddle my girls. We are still in hospital recovering but it's great OH can stay and they gave us a room together. I will catch up properly when home as hospital signal is terrible I can't read any messages above so just posting this quick. Hope everyone is well and can't wait to see if any others have arrived! I'll put photos when I can xxx

 

[Sprout]

Thanks all, I'm ok with the decision now, just impatient for him to be here!

Oh Laura, congratulations!! I'm sorry to hear you had such a hard time, I hope you're beginning to feel a bit better? Can't wait to see your little ladies

Ohhh Laura!!!!!! Amazing news!!! Sorry to hear about the 3 day induction but wow what brilliant weights the girls are. Rest up and talk when you can xxxxxxx

 

[BlondeP]

Good news holdingthumbs and good weight!!

 

[Papermoon]

Oh wow that's great Laura! Glad you and the babies are doing well. Congratulations!

Baby Squig has had a few ups and downs resulting in being back up to double photo therapy now after originally being taken down and off it completely so we won't be home for the new year. One positive is my friend has just delivered and is in a room down our corridor so we have a bit of company now. Finding it easy to sleep without worrying about him now too so I don't look like a zombie.

How is everyone? xxxxxx

Hey ladies! So I am 39weeks and 4 days, due date 3/1/17 just 3 days away! 2 days ago I had a membrane sweep midwife said cervix was soft and stretchy. After the sweep I had a little spotting. The next day in the morning went to the toilet and when I wiped I had a lot of brown blood and wiped again and like a brown tiny bit of jelly. Was then getting strong period cramps with low back ache all through out the day on and off but the back ache was constant. Eased off when I went to bed then woke up at 6am this morning with strong period pain low back ache and tightening I thought It had started! I went to the loo and had a constant belly ache have been toilet 3 times this morning (poo) sorry tmi lol. Had lots of tightenings this morning aswell not painful just uncomfortable. What do we think? Anyone experienced this? I phoned midwife at hospital she just said it doesn't sound like I'm in established labor yet she said to see how I go today? Just confuse is this the first stage? Help! Xx

Ahh Laura amazing news!! Congrats

Sorry you are having to stay in longer Abi

XJess how often are you contractions? I think they say come in when 5 mins apart or less xx

 

[Blueflower]

Congratulations Laura! Look forward to hearing more details later. Hope you are feeling better. I lost a lot of blood at my section and DH had to feed me and dress the babies etc. I'm sure yours was a star too!

 

[Xjess1990]

They have been irregular and actually eased off now. It's really confusing! ����

 

[millielaura]

I've been getting on/off painful tightnings the last few days.. keeping me up at night and sometimes go to every 10 mins then amount to nothing. It sucks! Still a bit early yet but I'm 36+2 and getting induced 37 weeks

Hope things happen for you soon jess xxxx

Congratulations Laura hope your all doing ok. I also lost a lot of blood after having the boys & hubby had to do lots for the babies and me x

 

[Holdingthumbs]

Thanks so much everyone, I'm feeling more positive having had the scan. And relieved to hear that little one is a good weight already.

I'm sorry to hear you're still in Abi, but fingers crossed you'll be home soon! Glad you have some company with your friend there too.

Really lovely to hear from you Laura and congratulations!! Iwas beginning to really worry as we hadn't heard from you in ages, and am thrilled to hear they've arrived safely and that you're all ok xxx

 

[KateK]

That's amazing news Laura i'm so pleased to hear from you! Glad you're all ok (though sounds like you went through the ringer - take it easy hope you're ok..)

I wouldn't get too excited Jess! I've had a few episodes of nausea/achey back/ regular tightenings/ loose bowel movements and convincing myself it had started and it's all eased off within hours.. It may well be considering how close you are to your due date but as Millie said they probably won't want you near the hospital until they're regular and at least 5 mins apart especially if it's your first. Such a tease though! Hope it gets going for real soon x

 

[BlondeP]

Owch you twin mums have had it hard! Is that all of our twins now here?? How many babies in total now, 9?!

Hope you all have a good new year. Can't wait for all your little babes to be here! xzzxx

 

[Papermoon]

Sorry to hear you're still in the hospital Abi but glad you have some company. Aaawww poor little Squig, I'm sure he will be fine soon.

Happy New Year ladies!

 

[Blueflower]

Yes all 4 sets of our twins have been born and baby Robert so 9 so far!
What is everyone doing for New Year's Eve? Very different for us this year, twin cuddles and tv rather than a night on the town! Had a small glass of wine and will have some fizz at midnight too, lovely!
