*******~~~October Mummies~~~*******

[Gemsy]

Just try and get some rest hun. Take it easy, and sounds like it should kick off naturally anyway. Even if you can't sleep, just lie down and do nothing! Is your mum with you? Is she going to be your birth partner now?

Yeah, my mum is with me. Been out and bought a Moses basket, had some lunch and now going to try for a snooze. So unbelievably tired. Hubby has managed to bring his flight forward and will now be home Wednesday morning. He'll still miss birth but at least he's home sooner x

Anything happening for you yet Vicki?

I'm wide awake as was lying in bed getting regular pains 10 mins apart, and they have now totally disappeared!

Morning!! Went to bed at about 10 as I was shattered and I knew I'd sleep. Woke up at about 2 with contractions and they've been coming quite regularly ever since. I've given up timing them until they start to feel closer together. With every contraction I just keep leaking out more fluids...apparently it continues to replenish after your waters go?? so I I constantly feel like I need to change my pad. I think if I just go with it today then it should happen so the plan is to try and stay up and about.

Yours sounds promising. Is the pain ok? I'm trying my breathing techniques but sometimes just find myself going "oww, oww, oww" until it passes lol x

Hi Vicki, have you got a tens machine? Now would be a good time to use it if you're still getting regular pains. Hope bubs doesn't keep you hanging round too much.

Gemsy, I really do think this us your body gearing up for the real thing.

No tens machine but I'm coping ok. Started timing them again as I've given up on sleep. They're about every 10 mins but a lot stronger now and lasting up to 1-2 minutes. I'm sitting in bed so think when I get up things will speed up. Just glad I managed some sleep x

Eeeeeee *stalking*

Been awake since 4 concerned about last if movement. However he's been kicking the crap out of me for the past half hour so all good there.

Starving though, day dreaming about egg n bacon on a fresh baked crusty roll.

Fingers crossed you will soon have a baby in your arms xxx

 

[Vickimo]

The lack of movement gets so worrying doesn't it. When my waters first broke I was fine until she asked if baby's movements were ok then I became paranoid. Fortunately, it's been fairly active since my wee hospital visit yesterday and sometimes when it squirms it seems to coincide with a contraction.

My mum has headed home to get some fresh clothes and things so I'm just going to have a shower and get ready to bounce this bad boy out lol x

Morning girls. God I am exhausted.

A few pains overnight - they feel like they might be contractions, but of course I have nothing to go on, as this is my first baby. Kind of like a painful cramp that radiates around my middle and back. Pain is enough to have to breathe through, but not that bad. Baby seems to have moved onto a nerve or something, as I also have a sharp pain in my bum which is stopping me walking.

To top it all, OH had to go out at 3am today, as there was a break in round the corner from the pub, and this morning when I finally got to sleep I was woken by a phone call as a member of staff hadn't turned up for work. Swear to god, I'm going to strangle them, people are so f*cking selfish - why can't you just turn up for work and not ruin everyone else's day?!

Going to go out today and see my mum and sister and nieces, so I can have a little moan to them. I'm so miserable

Glad things are picking up a bit Vicki! x

 

[NinjaKitty]

Honestly you two won't be long now. Wonder if you'll make October

 

[Sweetiepie1309]

Morning girls!

Oh these October babies are certainly trying to be nice and punctual aren't they?! I hope your niggles turn into something Gemsy, and Vicky - sounds like you are well on your way, yeayyy!!

Not so much as a twinge here, I was also becoming concerned about the change/lack of movements but spent Friday morning in triage and both babies are absolutely fine. It's weird tho, as previously lying on my side was guaranteed to give me strong kicks and squirms but now nothing, absolutely zip - it's unnerving!

Anyhoo I think I'm fine otherwise. Very emotional tho, the slightest thing sets me off it's ridiculous!! My neighbour's cat has been stuck out on her balcony since at least 4pm yesterday and it has meowed continuously!! It breaks my heart to listen to it. It has dried food and I know it's generally well cared for but I just don't know how long she will be away for, it's a bloody shame! Grrrrr

Ah nevermind rant over haha.

[Gemsy]

Sweetiepie, your little ones must be running out of room, I'm sure that must be why they are moving less!

Had a lovely morning with mum, sister and my two little nieces who were angelic. I have walked around LOADS in the hope it gets something going! The sharp pains in my back have been going all day, I look like a right muppet trying to walk around with these spasms! I feel a bit better for speaking to my mum and sister, they have both been through it, so know what I am feeling like.

Vicki - any more action?!

Hey ladies, had problems with wi-if today so trouble updating. Been having contractions again all day but didn't get to the magical 3 in 10 mins to call hospital. Looks like it'll be induction tomorrow at 8! The worst part is with my waters. They went with a total gush on Friday but literally every time I stand up I get a whoosh that soaks through pad, pants and clothes constantly having to change and just feel horrid the whole time. Been cooing well with transactions but not sure how much more intense it'll be tomorrow. Hardly had any sleep so hoping I have the energy. Not sure how long they'll leave me with induction given that waters broke on Friday but I guess I'll find out tomorrow x

Hope you ladies are all doing well and Gemsy it sounds like you're still getting some promising signs x

 

[NinjaKitty]

Vicki as your waters are already gone and your body is gearing up to contracting hopefully your body will respond well to induction. I'm sure you'll be cuddling baby very soon. Best if luck got tomorrow if bubs doesn't make an appearance tonight. xxx

Thanks Ninjakitty, I hope that's the case. Just don't want to feel like I lose control of my breathing etc if they come on a lot stronger. Managed to doze off for a bit there as they're only coming once in a blue moon whilst I'm lying in bed but flamin eck they're more painful x

 

[NinjaKitty]

Awake! Obligatory pee break and can't get back to sleep. Baby is leaving me in no doubt of his presence as it feels like he is trying to tunnel out via my belly button

Lol, as uncomfortable as it can be it's so reassuring when you feel it move when you're up during the night x

Good luck today Vicki

Good luck today Vicki

Thanks so much. Just killing time until I head down. Contractions are now really quite sore so the sooner the better x
