My beautiful daughter!

[maybeoneday]

Hi girls I chek in on you all regularly but don't get round to posting much! Anyway I just thought I would let you know that baby Samuel joined our family on Monday. He is our very own royal baby and weighed the same as the royal baby as well at 8lb 6oz. He is amazing and so far I am loving being a mummy of 3 boys! He will also be collecting his free royal coin for sharing a birthday with Prince George. Xx

Congratulations Babycakes and Maybeoneday!!! Soooooooo cute! I'm really looking forward to meeting my little boy now. It's my birthday and my two were so lovely today that we really had fun together. Made me yearn for DS3. And wish I could celebrate with a bottle of champagne as it's by far my favourite tipple! Instead I've made myself a dark rich ginger and chocolate birthday cake!

Happy birthday weezie... Not long to go and then you can crack the champas....

Well I'm not far off either. This pregnancy is hard. I had to go in to hospital for bloods and a 24hr urine collection as I have trace proteins high gp occasionally and swelling. I have two scans next week after a failed ecv on Wednesday and dropping fluid levels. They've suggested a ceaser if I do t go naturally soon, next Wednesday I will know everything...I hope. I can't wait to meet my baby, I just hope he's healthy.

Hope it is your time and it won't be long. I was induced last week my due date was today. My husband was on vacation last week. He works for the railroad and would never make on time if he was in the middle of nowhere on a train. I have fast labors. My longest labor was 6 hrs. I don't feel contractions until I am between a 6-7.

Well I'm still in one piece. Apparently having that big show
Wasn't enough to start off labour properly. It's okay though, I'm happy enough to wait it out. I'm really working on my patience and trying to remember that it will happen when the time is right. I'm ignoring pressure from doctors etc for an induction (my babies are on the bigger side but not huge), and want a calm birth without interventions. According to health professionals I'm overdue as they have me due 25th July based on LMP but I think it's more like 28th July as my cycles were longer due to still BF DS3 when I conceived.

Yeh I understand wanting a calm birth. I didn't want to be induced either this time. Three of my boys came at 37 weeks and I was induced with my 3rd at 38 wks 3 days. The contractions are rougher and my 3rd I tried the epi and it did not take. I didn't even attempt it this time. Everything was fine until the last 10-15 minutes. My dr. was performing a c-section and I had to push. The nurses are telling me not to push. I was telling them just to get another dr. I need to push. They were trying to find one, but then she came out and the said start pushing and she was out in 3 pushes.

OMG! there are so many cute adorable little babies in here! thanks for sharing all of your lovies, ladies! they are all precious and beautiful!

iluvmy4sons- congrats on your sweet little baby <3

To the ladies awaiting labor i hope it happens soon! I totally understand not wanting the induction and such. I went nearly 42 weeks with DS1. The doctors pressured me but i knew i wanted a natural birth and all was healthy so i waited it out...honeslty im really glad i did bc he was born face up and it was a long hard birth, but i firmly believe if i would have gone the induction route it would have ended in CS.

RE: babys that hate the carseat - DS2 HATED his! He would scream the entire time. It took many months but finally we ended up getting new carseats (need a way to fit three RFing across the back of a prius so had to purchase the radian XRT) and he is now a happy little camper (most of the time!). I thought his orginal carseat looked comfortable, but i guess not!

AFM, im 35 weeks. We *finally* are holding steady on a name (you wouldn't believe how many times we've changed it lol). Baby is STILL transverse (sideways). Ive done every logical and every nutty thing you can possibly think up to get her to flip and it's just not happening. Sigh. Was hoping for one last HB. ...maybe she will still flip, idk, but i have a consult on Monday with an OBGYN to discuss options (i was planning a second HB). So it's a major change of plans..however, amazingly i am at peace if CS has to result...which if you know me, you wouldn't think that would happen as im such a crunchy natural birther, but this time...something just feels off, i dont know what. and im not worried, but i feel like CS it will be (due to her position) but then i have a feeling they will say "oh yeah, she is deeply tangled in her short cord and couldn't get herself unravealed" ...or something like that. So im at peace about a planned CS. (though still holding out she will flip by 37 weeks and i'll get my last vaginal birth) Im going to ask about a "family friendly CS" (or "natural CS") and see what they can do...would love delayed cord clamping, but dont know if thats possible. Things are not set in stone. Im hoping she goes head down, but if not im glad to have my ducks in a row and my mindset positive about the drastic change of plans.


DH has healed well from the snip snip. And im ready to have this baby and move on with life Can't wait!

Sounds like you've got your head together perfectly! Fingers crossed baby flips round this week but as you say, a CS is sometimes just the way to go (and I'm a strong HB supporter too!)

Due date today and no signs whatsoever getting very fed up now! Who's left to have their baby who was due in July?
