I have posted my birth story and added some pic. Its in the new arrivals bit.

Baby Joshua was born on the 19th Dec at 5,55 weighing 9lb. I had the sweep on Tuesday morning and by 8pm that night I started having a few tightenings. Not painful but uncomfortable.I went to bed at about 12am as the contractions were every 10 mins and I though if this is it then I want to have...

Had the sweep. Now who said it hurt I didnt feel a bloody thing. Im 2-3 cm dialated already and my cervix is so soft she could feel babys head and put her finger right behind his head. Induction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thurday morning 8.30am whooohoooo. They said they couldnt do it till Monday (xmas...

I am desperate to meet my lil man but I really cant be bothered with the whole sex, curry, pinapple stuff. Im too exhausted. I just dont have the energy of sex, I cant eat currys because spicey food set off my IBS, pineapples make me sick. I had one the other day and was sick after half of it...

Anyone heard how she is doing. Has she had baby yet?

I know some of us ladies have been taking codine for some part of our pregnancy. Last night I read something quite worrying. I read on a website that if you take codine in the 3rd tri the baby will need weaning off it when there born. Has anyone else heard of this???????? Im worried now. My...

Everything went ok at the midwife today. Blood pressure is fine and baby is 2/5 engaged. She has put me in the diary for a sweep next tuesday. Then they will give me 24 hours to go into labour and then I will be induced. She said it will most likely be next friday. Feels good to finally see...

What are they?????? The only thing I have is period type pains and needing to go loo (not for wee) all the time. Lots of pressure down there. Is being really grumpy a sign lol. I am evil these days I hate anyone touching me or being near me. My mum annoys me and all she does is talk to me...

When timing contractions do you start timing from the start one to the start of the other. I was doing this last night and they were 4mins apart and 40 sec's long but when I went bed they stopped grrrrr.

It didnt go that well. I was hoping my consultant would put me out of my misery and give me some drugs that take the pain away and dont make me sleepy but no, nothing. He wont help because it might stop me from having a natural birth. He said he is happy with blood tests and that the pain is...

I had a show woohooo. Also i think my waters might be leaking (as you know lisa) I noticed my pants were wet before and I just went loo and after I stopped weeing I stood up and something else came out of me (might have been more wee) but it didnt feel like I was weeing. I will ring hospital...

For mums who have had more than one baby. How long after the baby starts to engage did you go into labour? I have read they dont untill the last min. Yesterday I was 3/5 engaged. I am losing my plug, my cervics is closed but soft and is 1 cm long. The doc also said she could feel about 2 cm og...

At 3.15. I have been getting a really bad pain in my right hand side near my ribs, blood pressure is very slightly raised, I have swelling and headache and flashing lights so they just want to do some tests to make sure everything is ok. Will update you when I get back. If I dont come home...

I have had such a daft weekend. Saturday night I fell over in the kitchen and nearly knocked mysef out. I was washing pots and my leg (the one I had all my wight on) gave way. Been getting bad BH contractions I mean like every hour and they have been pretty painful. Then last night I had a...

having dizzy spells. Yesterday and today I have been feeling really dizzy and faint. I feel dead tired too. Is anyone else feeling like this. Here is my 33 week bump. Its getting bigger by the day lol.

Looking though my notes I noticed they did a growth scan at 31 weeks. Baby is estimated at 1950g (4lb3oz). Thats big for a baby at 31 weeks!!!!! Im so glad its just an estimate lol. If I go full term he is going to be huge. Aggghhh

Hi ladies For the past few days I have been getting a brownish coloured discharge. I just thought it was due to a speculum I had in hospital on Thursday. Well I just been loo and there was a snotty stringy discharge and it was blood stained. I think it was my mucus plug. Does this mean labour...

I have been told that the baby is very low, that they couldn't feel any of the head at all. Does this mean the baby is engaged? Also if the babys head is engaged does that mean labour isn't far away? Just I read that 2nd babies dont engage till there ready to come. Here is the rant. I am really...

Im not sure whats going on. I have been having tightenings since 4pm they are not dead painful its just tightenings. If I get up and walk around they dont go. If i sit they are still there. My piles have got really sore and swollen in the past hour. (sorry TMI there) What do you think? Shall...

Had a bad week lol. Tuesday night seems like such a blurr now but will do my best to retell it. After going to the hospital on Tuesday morning I went home and lay on the bed. When I woke up I noticed a wet patch on the bed which wasn't wee as there was no stain or anything so I rang the...
