[FutureMiniMe]

Hello ladies! I feel so far behind. I haven't been on much since going on leave. No baby yet. I am 39+1 today. I have been having very irregular contractions on some days and others, nothing! Hoping I can get a sweep at the doc tomorrow. I have not even been checked yet. I was doing epo for a while until I read something similar to what Atomic posted, so internally only now. Hoping my little lady makes her appearance this weekend at least, lol.

Huge congrats to all the new babies! I love seeing all the pictures.

[daisymoo]

Best of luck Futureminime Hope your little lady arrives soon x

Boysway is ur ultrasound Monday? So excited for u xx


Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

[Boysway]

Yes, ultrasound is Monday :)

[crazycatcouple]

So Coda decided he wanted to come on his own terms :-). We were supposed to go in to be induced Wed morning, but labor began naturally Tuesday evening.

Coda Bruce born 2/25/15 at 2:14am - 8lbs 14oz, 20 inches long :-). They had to use drugs to slow my labor down because he wasn't getting a break between contractions and his heart rate was dropping. That really slowed it down though, so then we had to use some pitocin later on to help it progress. Took longer than anticipated, but he's here and healthy!!

[crazycatcouple]

Thank you everyone! Our little family is complete now :-). Big sister Lyra has been so sweet with him, and I actually got a decent night's sleep last night with him only waking twice (compared to 5 or 6 times a night previously). Nursing has been a bit challenging, but he is a great eater. As much as I look forward to every new little thing with him, I'm already feeling sad that this is the last one, so just trying to soak up every second of this newborn stage because it goes by so quickly!

LaVie, congratulations on your little man! Love the name!!

And Boysway... Super happy for you :-). I know you are over the moon right now, and it's only going to get better once he's in your arms!

[kitkat18]

La Vie damn straight you look amazing!!!! What a beautiful pic of you and Diego. Are you recovering well from the c section ? Love to hear your experience of a natural c section!
Boysway beyond happy for you! Dreams really do come true XX
All you ladies and your beautiful babes are making me super excited to meet my little one, one month to go! XXX

[Boysway]

Lavie, congratulations. Your little man in gorgeous. You look great as well :)

I'm ecstatic ladies. I literally burst into tears when she told us. It's the first time hubby has ever told me to stop crying otherwise he would cry. I think he is as happy as I am. Bub was rather showy when the sonographer got to that end, lol.

Kitkat, it's my wildest dreams come true. I never thought I would ever have a son. It was so good to be able to tell dh about all the boys clothes I had already bought, lol.

[lala22]

So excited for those who are getting their dream gender! Crazycat- breastfeeding was more challenging than I thought it wold be for my 2nd go at it- it is perfect now though:-)

[daisymoo]

Don't know what pretty little liars is.
So no��.
We just loved the name and I also like the song of Eric clapton. (But that wasn't the reason too)

Sam, what a Beautiful boy. It must be so overwelming to have both feelings of love joy and grieve at the same time.
Congratiolations for your twins. And condolences for the loss of your precious babygirl.

[Georgia_Peach]

He is truly gorgeous. I am so glad the birth went well. We have all been thinking of you! Welcome to the world baby Braxton.! 😊

Just thought I would share my birth story with you... sorry its a bit long...

The Beautiful Birth Story of Diego

26th February 2015 – 11:06 am

When I was told a month prior my due date that another natural delivery would be too risky for me, I thought that my perfect birth dream was being shattered. I previously enjoyed three amazing homebirths and have felt empowered by the experience. I struggled to envisage another way to birth my baby. My initial reaction was to rebel against a medicalised, planned caesarean but after long talks with my husband and my family I had to accept that this was the best option to preserve a healthy body, fit to care for a family of four children.
Still, I wasn’t going to just ‘go with it’ without a fight! How could I empower myself and feel in charge as much as possible in a procedure where usually everything follows a protocol which gives very little if any control to the mother to be?
Following my midwife’s advice, I watched ‘Microbirth’ – a fascinating documentary revealing microscopic events happening at birth-. This inspired me to research ‘natural C sections’ where Obstetricians work closely with the mother to implement mother’s contribution, awareness and more natural ways to bring baby out of the womb.
From there, I hatched my new birth plan which implemented vaginal swab to colonise baby with my flora, ‘walking the baby out slowly’, delayed cord clamping and immediate skin to skin contact. I had full support from my midwife, Maria, which was amazing. She organised a meeting with our Obstetrician the day prior surgery. It was very exciting for each of us to plan the birth: we were the first couple to request ‘natural’ elements to a caesarean in this local hospital and most of the staff were quite intrigued and excited to pioneer new elements to an established protocol.

The Day you were born: 26th February 2015, we got ready just before 8am, said our goodbyes to your three brothers and to my mum, and off we went to hospital.
We were shown to our little room and asked to dress with the hospital gowns, and scrubs for my husband. My midwife arrived promptly and prepared the vaginal swab for me. I kept it for about an hour. In the meantime, I had the usual checks and the Anaesthetist came to talk to us and explained the procedure thoroughly. He was from Nigeria and spoke a little bit of French which was sweet.
Everyone was so attentive and so very kind to us. Despite this, I was starting to feel a bit nervous in anticipation. The surgical team had a last minute meeting and then we were told that they were ready for us!
I walked to theatre, my heart beating so fast, my ever supporting and loving husband by my side. In the theatre, all the staff had French styled their hat into berets which was so touching for me. I was then prepped with spinal block, IV etc…Soon, my legs started to feel tingly and heavy and within a few seconds I wasn’t able to move them. The slight pressure in my chest sent me in a little panic but the anaesthetist was reassuring and daddy’s presence soothing.
My midwife was scrubbed and ready with the swab in a little bag. She stood between both sides of the screen and was able to give me a running commentary on what was going on’ behind the scene’.
The screen was pulled up whilst the OB started to open my tummy. I was numbed and wasn’t in any pain but I could feel every tug, pulling, rummaging etc… what a weird sensation. It felt all very surreal not to be in labour and yet only minutes to meet You.
Suddenly, I could hear suction and was told the sac had been opened. From then on it all went super fast: the screen was lowered down and I could see your head emerged from my tummy. After a couple of minutes, your body was born too: and here You were: a perfect little boy! Crying instantly!
Maria passed You to me straight away onto my chest and she swabbed You immediately all over your face. The emotion was really coming in as I was holding You in my arms. Your little body warm, snuggled under my chin. Your cord was left untouched for a few minutes until it stopped pulsing. Daddy was able to cut it. Welcome to the World Diego!
We also were able to keep my placenta and it was stored in a cool bag.
The screen went back up whilst the Team closed my tummy back up. This lasted far longer than the birth itself! It wasn’t as bad as I expected though and soon we were back in our little recovery room. Daddy went to pick up my mum and your brothers for them to meet You. It was truly special to be all united so soon after your birth.
My first night with You was such a precious night. Holding my newborn son, his silvery eyes and soft downy skin. A rush of love with every breath. You were mine, and mine alone, just for a moment, before I had to share You with the world.

I was in labor all night and she came out sunny side up AND face first which is rare. She has been an amazingly perfect addition to our family and I can't believe that this is real. We are so in love with her! I hope everyone is doing well. I am sorry if I've posted on an old thread.
