Due in March/April/May 2013 Roll Call New Sticky!!

Good luck 3m!!!

My little guy was born yesterday at 12:43am! 7lbs 9oz, 21 inches. My labor was 3 hours from first contraction to birth, very fast and scary. His heart rate dropped and I was on my hands and knees, he passed meconium and his cord was around his neck. The NICU team was there to check to make sure he hadn't aspirated the meconium but his lungs were clear. He does have some bruising on his face from being born so quickly, and we are waiting to recheck jaundice levels in the morning, but he has been in the room with me the whole time and is nursing like a champ!!

How do I post pictures? Can I copy from Facebook or is there some other secret?

Yay winni!!! Congratulations :) so happy bubs is well. 3 hours wow hun, you did well. I think to add pics you use the tree pic on the message section. I haven't used it on my phone though so not sure if it works from phones??? So happy your lil man is finally here for you hun x

3 men can't wait to hear from you, all the best for an easy and safe delivery x

Comgrats Winn!

I bet you're snuggling your little Owen right now three! Can't wait to see pictures!

Congratulations Winn xxxx

I tried to check my own cervix - I couldn't even reach it! Ha!

OMG 3men just seen your update, cant believe its time for Owen to come out already, how exciting! Hope all goes well for you and your little guy, fingers crossed for a speedy safe entry into the world. Thinking of you and can't wait to see his pics x

Congrats on your little man winn x :bluecheer: hope your enjoying being a new mummy again

Huge congrats Winn!! That sounds rather scary...but so incredibly quick. I bet he is a beauty! Can't wait to see pics (I have no idea how to post them, I fail at that myself).

I hope you are holding a little one 3Men! So exciting we got a mini-boom.

As for me, we are still in a bit of limbo. We had our appt on Monday and baby looks pretty good. Fluid levels are as high as they thought, but not increasing at the rate they thought they would. So my specialist appt is on hold til after my appt on Thursday. We saw her swallowing, practice breathing, and peeing, so it ruled out some of the potential issues. She doesn't seem affected by any of it. She is growing like wildfire, already expected at over 7lbs. So that isn't an issue either. At this point, it's more of a "why" and how to keep me more comfortable. We did learn today that I have a fairly advanced UTI, which probably contributed to some of my cramping and pressure, but the bleeding was likely unrelated. So I am on antibiotics, bed rest, and twice weekly appts. They do plan to induce at 38 weeks if either her fluids increase more or remain where they are currently. Both of which are the more likely events, although its still possible for them to decrease some. I feel a little better after seeing my own doc and seeing her again on sonogram. She seemed so rotten and like she was enjoying her "swimming pool" quite a lot. Giving us a good couple scares. So I am really trying to think positive. I know we can handle it even if she has something causing this issue. But I am getting anxious to meet her and just move on from all this stuff.

A good friend of mine had her little boy this morning. He is darling. It's tough not to be envious! Lol.

So glad your little girl was looking so good Hotdogz, I bet that is a huge relief for you to know she is growing as expected. So when will y ou be 38 weeks??

It's MAY ladies :) The last of our babies are coming this month!!!! xx

Thinking of you hotdogz hope everything turns out xx

Winn congratulations on the birth of your baby boy, I bet he's super scrummy!

Hope your holding your little man now 3men xx

Anyone heard from mummy pink? Hope she's ok?

I haven't been on here properly for awhile but I do try and keep up with u all, I can't believe that everyones pregnancys are nearly over, doesn't seem 5mins ago that we all started our journeys together....I have to admit I'm already feeling broody again sshh don't tell Dh I've firmly been told no more lol! My little princess is doing really well she's ever so happy and putting on weight really well she's 8wks old and weighs 12lbs such a chunk! She had her 1st injections yesterday tho and isn't very happy today bless,her she also has another cold thanks to her brothers!

I think i will do the EPO tonight and see what happens... Bubs has dropped heaps, i feel like im sitting on his head.

Hotdogz you could be meeting your LO in 2 days then if your doc was inducing at 38 weeks?? Is that right??

CVD I know, very exciting!! The 22nd will be here before you know it!

What am I going to be like next Thursday if Im like this now lol

Well thats a good sign Cinss, wont be long till you meet your lil man!! Ive read quite a few good things about the EPO, keep us posted :)

I will for sure :)

So glad it's May!!! 2 weeks 4 days for me. I'll be living through you ladies who are even closer for now so keep us posted!! :)

I decided against the EPO, i got a guilty feeling last night and figured i'm not going to be pregnant for much longer and i should just let things happen naturally and let this little man choose his own birthday. Even though i am so uncomfortable now especially while sleeping, im going to miss this baby in my belly so i will hold off with any inducement ideas... but if i get to 40 weeks i might change my mind ;)

Yeah I always was like that too Cinss. The only thing I did both times was acupuncture but Ds1 was the only one that used inducing points as I was 40 weeks (did ivf too do knew exact dates) ds2 I had ACU at 38.5 wks but it was more for strengthening the uterus. I think she did 1 point but said it wouldn't do anything unless I was going to labour anyway. He came the next day lol. Each to their own though xx

Actually, apparently we aren't inducing. I am so-so on it, but admit I was kinda bummed when they said that all signs are pointing to things being better at today's appt and it was a fluke. I DO really want her to come on her own (they won't let me go over the 16th though), but I was a bit selfishly looking forward to being done! So, for the moment, we are back looking at 2 weeks til she is here. Hopefully she decides to shorten that wait for me. I am rather uncomfortable with the weight of the water and baby. But she seems perfectly content in there. But I guess I prefer the good news to the additional wait.

Hope all our May mamas are hanging in there! Would love to see updates (and pics!) from our new mommies! Time is flying now :)

I'm trying to gather my homebirth supplies. Unfortunately - I AM FLAT BROKE! :/ A little stressed...

TGIF! It would be really nice if i went into labor this afternoon or tonight seeing as my mum is having DD and DP has the weekend off, just sayin ;) Had my hair done yesterday, so im ready for pics lol.

Congratulations sweetie hope your well and enjoying little Owen xx xx

My mom and dad have come to the rescue! Everything else on my birth list is now on order! PHEW.

I do need some things for baby but I figure those can wait... it's not a huge deal I don't have a changing mat or a moses basket stand yet, etc... she'll be okay without them immediately. :)

Hotdogz I'm glad your little girl is doing so well now. You never know though she may just decide to arrive early for you anyway x

Hi girls I hope you all well and enjoying the last few weeks of your pg's
Here's a pic of my little teddy today at nearly 5 weeks old. Attachment 11055
How time flys!!
He's got such bad colic and because of that is such hard work but hopefully it won't last to long fx! I've taken him to cranial therapy praying it'll sort him out! :)
Good luck all of you on your little ones arriving soon xx xx

So so happy for you 3Men...post pics soon!

Yay for Owen!! Congrats :) Can't wait to see him.

And glad you to your birthing supplies surgena. That is great that your folks stepped up!

I'll hope for baby this weekend Ciness. It would be kinda cool if we had that power to be like "today is good" and could pop out the kid.

Cute boy Tiffani! Sorry to hear he is tough. I hope it gets easier soon :)

Hi ladies!! :) Can't wait to see the May babies!!

Teddy is such a cutie pie, Tiff. Sorry about the colic though, I hope it passes very soon. xxx

YAY Winn!!! Huge, huge congrats!!! Enjoy your sweet little one! :D :D :D

Congrats to you, 3men!!! Welcome to the world, Owen! :D

Tiffani3 Teddy sure is a cutie! Sorry to hear about the colic. Hoping the treatment works for him x

So do you know how long you will stay in hospital for? I think its 3 days or 5 days depending on how your healing? What have you planned for your boys over that weekend? Will they come visit you right away?
