Darcey and I are going well. Because it was such a speedy delivery she is very mucousy. But improving today. She has the chubbiest cheeks!! I'm in love! Thinking of you girlsway!
Little Diana Sofia was born only an hour after we got to the hospital at 1.01am UK time 29.8. weighing 3.3kg. Labour was painful but at least quick only on a little gas and air. She had a good feed after delivery and now is sleeping soundly.
Pictures to follow.
Congratulations fish, shes beautiful and well done too :D. What did she weigh? x
Wow girlsway that was quick, well done :) cant wait to see some pics of little diana x
Hope you get to put your feet up too now your finished work too mum23
So lovely to hear all the little babies and mummies are doing so well.
Me and DH had a go at moxibustion last night, needless to say it didnt work. Just stunk our living room out. Going to give it another go tonight but i'm not going to hold my breath.
Daltag she was 6lb15oz smallest so far!
Girlsway congrats can't wait to see pic
Congrats girlsway!! Well done!
Congrats Fish, how exciting. It's a total baby boom here!
Congratulations on your beautiful babies ladies!
Wow, congratulations girls! Its not September yet and look how many of you had babies already! Hope this is contagious and I will join you soon too.
Congrats Fish and Girlsway!
Four babies so close together, so great for the rest of us. Who's next?
Yay for finishing work, it's nice just to be a pregnant mummy now, even though I only worked a few days a week.
DLTAG, what's moxibustion?

Mum23 moxibustion is a form of acupuncture, i was skeptical to begin with as its not me (if that makes sense). You burn sticks near your little toes and the heat from burning the moxa sticks is supposed to stimulate the baby's movements and encourage it to turn.
Scan and consultant tomorrow, really hoping for good news but i can see me getting booked in for a section. I dont think they will even offer a version with me measuring small. I'm keeping my fingers crossed tho.
Loving all the baby pics, sooo gorgeous :D x
Fish Congratulations!! After all you've been through you are finally holding your sweet little miracle baby girl! So happy you're both healthy and doing well!
Girlsway Congratulations to you as well! Great job on a fast labor. Can't wait to see pics of your little Diana!
OK, so far the little ones we've met are:
:DS:Julian Sage, Aug 6
:DD:Peyton Blythe, Aug 19
:DS:Lennon, Aug 27
:DD:Darcey Lynn, Aug 28
:DD:Naomi, Aug 28
:DD:Diana Sofia, Aug 29
Hope I got everyone correct. Quite a list we've got and it's not even Sept yet! Congrats again to all of the mommies with new arrivals :D
Salsa what a cute picture of Darcey.
Girlsway congrats on your little girl!! Hope to see pictures soon!!
Southern thanks for posting all the baby names. Can't believe how many babies were born in August.
Salsa -- aww, what a darling baby girl she is. So happy for you. :)
Fish -- your boys are so cute. I love the big brother shirts. Can't wait to put shirts like that on my boys!
DLTAG -- still rooting for you and your little lady. I hope they'll at least give the version a try...
I just got back from my OB appt. Last week I was 2cm and 50%, well today I am 3-4cm and 70-80% effaced! Baby also went from a -2 to a -1 station. My OB did a membrane sweep and I think it was the single most painful procedure I have ever had down there short of giving birth. I nearly fainted and it brought tears to my eyes! I had two sweeps with DS2 and they weren't a big deal at all! So all is set for my induction on Saturday (which will be nipple stimulation and breaking my water, should be all I need), unless I go into labor on my own before then. I am crampy now with lower back pain...
Good Luck Diva, I hope you go into labor on your own!!! I am getting so very envious of you ladies!!! I want this BABY OUT so bad! I cannot sleep, I pee my pants about 3 times a day lol, I don't fit into any of my clothes anymore, I dont want to buy new stuff because I only have 3.5 weeks left. My hips feel like they are cracking and breaking every time I move. I have to wake DH up in the middle of the night to have him help me roll over.
Dr has given me the go ahead to take EPO orally and then I can insert it vaginally in a week. I have very little hopes that this girl will make an early appearance.
Oh Thorz, you poor thing, that sounds so rough! I don't know how you feel about meds but a lot of women get a prescription of Ambien at the end of their pregnancy to help them sleep. I have taken a few (somewhat begrudgingly) and I can't take you how much better I feel the next day. Things like Benadryl or Unisom leave my groggy on the other hand.Quote:

I'm just being a baby! Forgive me for being so Whiney!
DIVA it sounds like you are up next right? The majority of this September group will be done before sept is even here!
Diva! How exciting!!! Good luck, sounds like it will be very quick when things actually get going!!
Thorz, hang in there. I know it feels soooooo long away especially as you are having a rough time, but before you know it you'll be holding little Macie x x
Oy, my lower back is absolutely killing me. I would just love to know if this is early labor or not...TMI but I've also been going to the bathroom a lot since yesterday.
Yes, it looks like in our group here, I'm next? I think there will be a bit of a gap between this bundle of babies that has just been born and the next set. Thorz, I know the anticipation must be killing you! It's a tad bit cruel that so many of us are done in August and you've got some time left. Hang in there, we are all rooting for you and can't wait!
Hey diva I had all these signs last week too she was so low tmi you could feel her head with you index finger but the night before I went in for induction she moved back up and they couldn't break my waters cause her head was too high!!!
Agh hope your lill lady is better behaved and makes an exit soon!
WAG still waiting on pics of Mr Lennon! I hope all is well!
It does sound hopeful Diva. Thorz, at the end it'll likely be just the two of us! Some days another month doesn't feel like a big deal but today I've been sore, grumpy and tired and it seems like forever! I've got loads to do still though.
I fell down the stairs again last night, I just CANNOT walk anymore with these hips! You're right sometimes the 3.5 weeks seems like ages away and other days I cannot believe how close it is. But because of the pain, it mostly seems like forever.
Mum I don't remember are you going naturally or being induced? My induction date is set for sept 23
Hopefully going naturally but we'll see. With this being my VBAC my OB is being a bit more bossy (!) which I'm more than happy with. The things that are going against me going spontaneously (as I see it) are the size of the baby - he was looking enormous at 32 weeks although had settled down thereafter and my blood pressure which is a bit up and down. My blood pressure has crept up in the third tri in 3 out of 4 pregnancies though and it's never been high enough to need meds or induction before or turned into PET so it'll probably stay fine. At this stage I'm assuming I'll go naturally though. I've had labour start spontaneously at 38, 39 and 40 weeks before though so I have no idea what to expect really.
There are big advantages in terms of sorting out the other three with a planned induction though. My OB won't do "social" inductions before 39 weeks however and there's a reasonable chance he'll have come by himself by then.
I can't believe how many babies have come already!
Being discharged from the hospital tonight so hopefully I can post some photos tomorrow. I have to say that this was the best recovery from the birth, I feel completely normal now except big belly still in my way :-) Diana is a sweetheart, eating and sleeping well. I hope it stays this ways.
Diva good luck, you might be next.
Thorz hang in there 3 wks are not a long time. Be careful.

Mummy bathing Darcey!
Thorz I hope you're ok after your fall!!
Well had a scan this morning and shes still breech, her feet are in front of her face. They offered a version but i turned it down, really dont know if i made the right decision but it looks like a c-section in definite. I'm in bits, i was so excited about meeting our little girl but now i'm just terrified.
To make matters worse i didnt even get to see the consultant today and have to wait till next week and they also said they most likely wont do the section early even given my history of early babies and quick labours, really not in a good place right now. Sorry to bring the thread down at such a happy time too :(
Thorz hope your ok after your fall and the next few weeks go nice and quick for you x
