My baby boy was born yesterday the 8th at 5:29! It was an incredibly fast delivery but with complications for me, as I started hemorrhaging blood and blood pressure got down to 50/30. Very scary! But all is good now and the baby is beautiful! Still working on a name and hopefully some pics later!
Congrats peb and ICB3
Good Luck Strawberry.
I am extremely jealous LOL I know I'll only be 39 weeks tomorrow but I have pains on and off all day every day. They are really intense by the time I go to be. Then I wake up to nothing. I'm fed up of it now.
DS2s birthday on Sunday, he'll either decide to arrive then or I'll be going over.
Congratulations ICB3. That must have been scary, glad you're ok.
Good luck Strawberry! Hope you have a quick and easy labour!
Motherofboys hopefully those pains are doing something. Hopefully you're dlowly dilating so when it kicks off for real it will be quick and easy!
I'm feeling very jealous here too. I've been in tears all morning as I've just had enough of being pregnant. DS1 is having problems settling in in school and I'm stressed about that, DS2 is sick and is just clinging to me all day long and up coughing all night. DH is gone for such a long day and I'm really struggling. Just want to have the baby so DH will take time off work and take over for a while.
I'm having no signs of anything happening and I'm starting to think I might go really overdue this time.
Such exciting news from everybody!!!! Welcome to the world new little babies and congratulations to everyone:HH: Good luck strawbwerry!! sounds like your next!! And Mob's soon after hopefully!!:luck::luck:
So many babies! Congratulations ICB3, glad all is okay now and hoping you recover quickly so you can enjoy your little man.
Good luck strawberry!!
mob I hope you're next, sounds like things are getting closer.
Pangea - we're your boys overdue? Hopefully you'll have a baby in your arms soon x
I've been having lots of cramping as well, especially in the late arvo and during the night. Just enough to keep we awake! I tell you this late pregnancy stuff is hard, oh what I would do with a full nights sleep! I'm off to midwife clinic today then SIL's b'day dinner tonight. The boys are so excited for the baby I wish I could tell them when he/she will arrive.
At just about 5pm, I gave birth to Vivienne- 7lbs 10oz and 20.5 inches long. Happy and exhausted.
Congratulations ICB3 and how scary! I can't wait for a name update.
For those still waiting may it happen soon!
Congratulations Strawberrymom! Her name is lovely!
I was at my midwife clinic appointment yesterday, I have to go into the hospital on Monday to see the doctor where apparently they'll give me a sweep and book an induction date. I'm hoping I won't make that appointment because with both my boys I woke up in labour on the days of my 40 week appointments.
I'm feeling a bit better now that I have the prospect of a sweep which I've never been offered before.
Congratulations Strawberry.
Congratulations Strawberry!!!! And welcome little Vivienne:HH:
Congratulations Strawberry, gorgeous name!
Pangea - hope you don't make that appointment
I had a midwife appointment yesterday as well and all is good, baby 4/5 engaged so still sitting pretty high which I knew anyway. I was so much lower at this point with the boys. Iron levels have dropped even more so no wonder I look so pale, hate taking the iron tablets though due to the constipation they cause but dont really have much choice now. Next appointment in 2 weeks which I hopefully won't make it to!
Congrats everyone on their new healthy babies! So exciting!
At my appt on Tuesday my midwife said she could stick her finger in and feel his head although it was still high, but I haven't been having anything but lots of BH ctx and lots of pain down there, no real labor contractions though. I hope it will be any day as I'm super tired of being pregnant too.
Good luck everyone and I hope all the new mamas are settling in nicely!
Anyone still waiting who is getting fed up of pains that lead nowhere?
I have almost constant period type pain, with braxton hicks thrown in through out the day. I know they are going nowhere but I still can't help but get my hopes up!
Today I am much slower, my back and hips and groin really playing up.
Got DS2s birthday on Sunday, then due on Thursday.
Can't believe its so close now, but still doesn't feel like his going to be here by then. This baby is looking more and more likely to be late.
Its been a week since my bloody show and nothing!
Congratulations strawberry! What a beautiful name! xx
Congratulations! Hope you're doing okay after the scare-same thing happened to me with DS1 so I know how scary it is. My BP was 50/31 too. Looking forward to hearing the name xxQuote:

Ausiettc--Really, the same thing happened to you?? It was really scary, wasn't it? I'm just glad they were able to stop it.
We've settled on the name--Jude William. He seems to be a great baby so far;)
Good luck to all those having their little ones in the next couple weeks! I know it feels like forever away but they will be here before you know it!
Love the name Jude it's gorgeous.
MOB - lots of pains that go nowhere here as well, it's so exhausting but I was the same with DS2 as well then had a nice quick labour (3 hrs from first contraction till he was born) so hoping the pre labour is doing its job for a nice quick one again.
Dear Friends,
Got blessed with a baby boy on 10.10.2013 @ 9.11 am. Normal Delivery using mild suction.
Contractions started on 9.10.2013 @ 9.30am, reached hospital @ 12.30 pm… after nearly 24 hours of non stop pain and severe contractions. Delivered my jewel on 10.10.2013 @ 9.11 a.m
Soon after birth he was transferred to incubator for MAS (Meconium Aspiration Syndrome) he was feeling difficult to breath. We were shocked and heart broken seeing his condition, he was in incubator and oxygen pipes till 12.30pm, then he got complications later he was shifted through ambulance to a bigger hospital which was 5 kilometres away from the delievered place and was in incubator and they treated him till this morning. Antibiotics, Cardio Physiotheraphy etc etc. This morning 11 am he returned to normal ward from incubator room.
Now he is free and started smiling too. Tomorrow getting discharged and we will take home our treasure!!! He is very active and so lovable. I cant express my happiness when I see him smile!!! Feeling Gifted with my treasure
Thank you for all your support and guesses!! You were awesome and i am proud of this website and pals around!! Love you all
Congratulations Champranjani on the arrival of your little boy. The MAS and transfer must have been so scary but glad he is doing better now. Enjoy your first days home together.
Congratulations champrajani!
I love the name Jude, and had it "in the running" for ds2.
Vivienne is a champion eater so keeping me up at night. Still I feel like I got more rest yesterday than the last few weeks of pregnancy. Ds1 is in love with Vivi and wants to constatly be playing with her and ds2 seems oblivious. Overall, hectic but not as much as I feared. I'd love to get a pic up but that is a dh thing and I have him pretty busy already. I can't wait to see who's next!
This is a quick pic I snapped of Duncan with my cell phone in the hospital.

Wow, so many babies born since I was last on here! Congrats to all of you. :-)
I thought I posted a little something about how my delivery went on Monday morning.
I got to the hospital at 5:00 a.m. They got me hooked up to pitocin at 6:00. For the next three or so hours I had contractions but they were very small and didn't make much progress. I don't even feel like I can call it labor. At 9:30 they went to check my cervix and my water broke. For the next two hours my labor progressed very quickly. It was my most painful labor but I still refused an epidural. I told my nurse that when it was time to push that things would move very quickly, and that they would need to be prepared! Well, I dilated way quicker than anyone thought and they weren't ready!! They were still bringing things into the room and had not transitioned my bed yet. There was no stopping Duncan though. I actually made an effort to NOT push, but it didn't do much good. He was out without me even pushing really. The doctor came running in the room right at the last second! It all happened so quickly.
My recovery has been great. I think it's been my fastest recovery.
I am so in love with Duncan, I can't even put it into words. He is absolutely perfect, and guess what... The moment I laid eyes on him I was thankful God gave me another little man. My desire and sadness over wanting a girl was GONE. I actually broke down and cried over how thankful I was.
Life is good, ladies!!
How's everyone doing? New mommas, how are your babies? Anyone else feel close to labor?
Katie...totally jumping boards here....your little Duncan is a piece of Heaven!!! He is perfect and another cute addition to your crew!!!!!!
Katie I'm crying at your words of joy at having another little boy.
Right now I'm so looking forward to just getting this little man here that I really don't care that his not the girl I dreamed of. But I hope I can have that over whelming thankfulness and love that you speak of.
I'm now 3 days from my due date!
Congratulations Champrajani!
Katie Duncan is absolutely gorgeous!
I'm 3 days overdue here. No signs of anything happening, just lots of painless braxton hicks. I was in labour at this stage with DS2. I've got an appointment this afternoon and they told me that I should get a sweep. But it's not unusual for them to find some excuse not to do it so there's no guarantee that I'll get one.
DH has the flu, he couldn't get out of bed at all yesterday and I was worried I would have to go into the hospital on my own if I went into labour. He's still not great today but he's out of bed. If I go into labour tomorrow I'm hoping he'll be well enough to come with me.
Duncan is completely adorable, I can see why you're so in love :HH::HH:
2 days from due date. Over did things this morning dancing round cleaning to music to try to get things going. All I did was give myself a bad back.
Soak in a nice warm bath! Hopefully labor will come soon for you. :-)Quote:

Beautiful katie!
MOB - can't be too much longer now
5 days till due date for me and super strong winds here today so hoping it helps move things along.
I had a doctors appointment today. She stripped my membranes and for the past two hours I have been having some contractions on and off, nothing consistent yet. Not sure if anything will come from it. She scheduled an induction for thursday if I don't go between now and then!
Hi ICB3
Yep, its one of the things that made the birth of DS1 so traumatic. It had been a 35 hour induced labour but he'd arrived via vaginal birth and all was good. Then all of a sudden I felt really sick and as the placenta came away I bled. Lost over 3 litres before they got it under control. I remember very clearly seeing the BP monitor hit 50/31 and thinking 'oh thats not good'. It was very scary and I was drifting in and out of consciousness. I hope you are making a good recovery-it took me quite a while to regain energy and strength afterwards.
Love the name you've chosen-hoping you are treasuring every minute with your new little man xx

Then have had pains all morning but not really sure that they are any different from my usual pains that I get most of the day.
I am so tired today I'm in my own little world and didn't even realise when someone was talking to me this morning!
Stupid body everything has stopped again! Took 2 and a half years to actually get pregnant and now my body wont give him to me LOL
Mob-I went one day early so fx for you.
Pangea, did you get your sweep? If so it may be you, navywife, or mob next!
Tomorrow is a great day for babies to come(it's my b-day)! Love to see some more pics on here. I am hoping for a b-day miracle tomorrow as Vivienne has a orthopedic dr appt for possible hip dysplasia. It isn't anything horrible I know, but they do have to wear this awful harness thing which means difficulty doing breastfeeding and skin to skin,no cute outfits,limited time in carseat, no using swing or bouncer and who knows what else. I know it will help her, but I have been bawling my eyes out thinking of my little girl having to be in that thing so holding out hope but planning for other option too.
