Thank you ladies!!!
Bunny it wasn't 28 hours of active labor (thank God lol) I came in at 9:30 am Monday morning at 2 cm dilated. But around 11:30 am I was at 4 cm so they admitted me.. After that I basically stopped dilating but still contracting every 2-5 minutes. They kept me all night and gave me some medicine to help sleep. By 8:00 am Tuesday morning I was finally about 6 cm dilated. Then by 10 am I was still at 6 cm so they broke my water which finally sent me into active labor!!
Congrats, she's lovely :) xx
Congrats menlc she is gorgeous!
Congrats Menic!! Beautiful baby, glad everything went well and she's good and healthy!

Congratulations Menic xx
Congrats menlc! She's truly a dream! Glad everything went well, and you're both healthy!
Bunny, are you next??
Bigwish, funny you should say that - my waters went a few hours ago! Waiting for the contractions to kick in properly. They're regular but not very strong. Not dialated yet either.
Congratulations! She is beautiful.
And it is good to hear you met your goal of a drug free labor... I'm trying for that mostly.
I'm so excited for you! That's how it happened with my first, first waters, no contractions, but with the waters gone they shouldn't take long. Go walk that tight rope my friend, one step at a time with the big prize at the end. Thinking of you and wishing you luck! xxQuote:

Good luck Bunny xx

Yes, Aidansmum, I feel the weeks have really flown by!
Bunnywabbit- I hope all is well and can't wait for pictures : )
Good luck bunny!
Good luck, bunny!!
With both my boys my water broke first (even at same day and same hour, weird!). With my first contractions started 5 hours later, with my second 8 hours. Hope everything goes smoothly.
Relax, concentrate and let go... That's my pregnancy yoga mantra
Congrats!!!!!!Quote:

Little Jamie Nathan was born on 12/6 at 12.33pm weighing 7lb 8oz (3.4kg) and 20 inches (51cm) tall in record timing. My waters went the day before but didn't dilate so I was sent home. Got to the hospital at 10am after ringing to say I was contracting every 5 minutes but for only 30 seconds (they don't call you in until contracting at least for 45-60 seconds) but decided just to turn up anyway! I was examined after an hour and told I was ready to push! So pretty much a 2.5 hour labour!
He's a beautiful little guy and we're both totally smitten.

Very short labour but had 5 hours worth of stitches to fix internal and external second degree tears - little guy decided to come out with his hand on his face. There were a couple of patches local anaesthetic didn't work for no matter how many times she tried so a few high pitched screeches from me! Doing OK for now, just hoping it heals OK and without infection...
Congratulations Hun, he is gorgeous!:) your birth story sounds very similar to when I had DS1 (quick labour, hand by his head, longer to stich up and I could feel it so screamed) and I healed up fine, so I wish you a speedy recovery. Get a foam ring to sit on if you havn't already! :) your baba even has the same little turned down tops of his ears like a puppy like my boy did (brings back so many memories!) I bet he was engaged for quite a long time?!? I loved watching them unfurl like tiny flower petals. Enjoy every second! It sounds like a cliche but it really does go so fast. Congrats again xxx
Bunny! He's beautifull!!! I can get your in love! :heart::heart::heart:
Snip! You too congrats on you beautifull baby girl!
Everyone good look on the final weeks!
Momof3 what a gorgeous bump! I wish mine Will look like that in the end (with only one)
Congrats ladies! All such beautiful little ones!
Congrats Bunny! What a pumpkin! Hope you heal and recover quickly. Enjoy!

Congrats bunny!! So handsome, enjoy!!! Hope you have a speedy recovery!
Aww, bunnywabbit, Jamie Nathan is beautiful!
I hope your recovery goes smoothly.
Wow, bunny, i'm in love!!
He's gorgeous! Congrats!!
My second also came with his hand on his cheek. Otherwise i would have no tears at all, my midwife said... Didn't want to hear that when she stitched me, lol.
Sorry to hear you also teared inside. Hope they'll heal soon.
I always use Arnica D30 against swelling. I don't know if arnica is an english used product as well, but maybe you can get it somewhere.
Oh bunny, so sorry you tore, apparently it's common with fast labors, not fun for you, hope you recover and all goes well. He is absolutely gorgeous, you must be so proud. xx
Awwww, all these babies being born, I want my turn next!!! But I have to wait 10 more weeks, booo lol
Congratulations bunny!!! He is gorg xx
Congratulations bunny!!!! He's perfect!! Glad you had a fast labor but so sorry about what happened after!! I can't even imagine!! I hope you have a quick recovery!!!
My little Maci was admitted into the children's hospital last night for jaundice. She is doing well and we should hopefully go home tomorrow. I'm just so exhausted, emotionally and physically. I went into the hospital Monday morning, left Thursday afternoon and then came to children's hospital Friday. I miss my 3 boys at home horribly and just want to go home and relax and enjoy my family!! I hope everyone is doing well!! I love seeing all these babies being born!!!

Poor Maci, and poor you! Was she feeding ok? I can only imagine how hard this time is for you. I'm sure she'll recover very soon and you'll all be back together as a family... xQuote:

Long story short he was fine but he wound up staying in the hospital for a few extra days & I slept there to cause I could not bear to leave him. Missed my other kids terribly & the hormones made an emotional time a nightmare.
Fingers crossed Maci is released soon & you are all home together. Easier said than done but try to take it easy between now & than I know the stress of the whole situation nearly drove me nuts. Hoping & praying you & Maci are back home soon!!
Sorry to hear you're back in hospital and Maci is jaundiced, it is so common though and I'm sure you'll be out of there very soon. It is such an emotional, crazy time right after we have a baby, I remember with Aidan I was a sobbing mess as he developed an infection and had to stay in hospital for 5 extra days, in total we stayed 10 days in hospital and I was just about walking out with him as I was so fed up! It would be even harder now as he is home and I can't imagine staying all that time away from home and him, the poor little guy has never even slept away from me! I'm glad DH is taking 3 weeks of work when this one is born, it won't be easy. Wishing little Maci a quick recovery x
Bunny, your new profile picture is so cute. What a handsome little man he is. x
It will go fast from now on Maria, I am 5 weeks away and can hardly believe it's getting so close!!!! I am washing all these pink clothes and pretty little dresses and when I look at them drying I still find it hard to believe she is a little girl! I still have to pinch myself sometimes, I think it will only sink in when I see her!Quote:

AM, I have done nothing for this little one :( I have my appointment on the 20th and then go from there. Still waiting for confirmation about this baby being a girl. It sounds crazy but unless I hear it from my Dr here I can't bring myself to shop :/ My husband is coming home August 3rd and then we will do the big purchases, crib, seats etc and I have several friends/family sending me clothes so I haven't done any real shopping other than material for a baby quilt or blanket lol
Congratulations bunny! He is very cute! I hope you heal very quickly and enjoy these special newborn moments!
Menlc- sorry to hear about Macy, I hope she comes home soon!
AM, I remember when I was washing all the clothes and just seeing them hanging on the rack was so surreal. But the best is yet to come when you get to put your little girl in those clothes! I just find myself sitting and staring at her while she nurses, I still can't believe she is here and enjoying every single moment. I just need to find that pause button, slow down time!
