Good luck mom to three!

Oh Thorz!! What a scare!! But soooo happy for you to hear baby Macie is here safe and sound!! She sounds like a perfect little parcel. Well worth all the pain and discomfort of your pregnancy!! Here's hoping you start to feel back to normal soon. Can't wait to see pics of your little princess!!

Mum not long now!!! How exciting-what a whirlwind of a month and a bit for us all!! Can't believe the time has come that we all (bar 1) have had our precious babies.
Darcey will be 4 weeks tomorrow, I can't believe how quickly the time has gone. It's going too fast, I just love this newborn stage and totally adore her. I wish I had more time to just sit and look at her. To cherish every moment. Knowing it's my last newborn is really sad to me. I'm only 28 and have got all 4 kids done in 5 yrs. I just love the magic of being pregnant and delivering, I'm still coming to terms that I won't get to do it again. I'm happy with 4 kids, 5 is too many for us, but just sad that's all done and dusted now!!

Wow thorz, that must have been really scary. Glad you didn't have to have a section too. Huge congratulations on the birth of your little princess x

Salsa i know just how you feel, i'm 24 and have 3 little ones now and me and DH are defo done having children, i'm enjoying evie as much as i can as i know its the last time it will happen. It almost feels like the end of an era and we are opening up a new chapter in our lives x

Im having the same feelings salsa... I had all my babies at the age of 25 and it makes me wonder if I should really finalize the whole thing... But then I think... I've had two sets of kids I have my older pair and my younger pair... Would I really want to start this over in 5-10 years... Maybe hormonally I would but really shouldn't I concentrate on myself at that point... I have some very high need kids and I'm trying to focous on the fact that I will finally be able to have some time for me and maybe me and DH can learn to like each other Again... I love the whole pregnancy thing and delivering the baby and seeing them for the first time... I don't think the moment will be anything the same with grandchildren... At this point I feel like I'm 50 lol... The last ten years have been a roller coaster and in that sense I know I'm done... I don't want more... But I'm sad that I will never experience these moments again...

Well, I'm 40 now and I'm done!

In labour ward, just had further s and s and some prostin gel. Because my cervix was very soft after my s and s yesterday I think my OB was hoping that'd be all I needed but although I'm uncomfortable I'm not really contracting yet. She'll be coming back soon to do an ARM.

Wish me luck for a successful VBAC!

Mum to three I had that too and no contractions till they broke my waters so don't stress, it was less than three hours from then till she was born good luck! Stalking!

[Mum to three girls]

Yay! New baby arrived safely.

It was pretty intense and not as quick as some of you had. My waters were broken at 10 30 after which I still didn't get proper contractions so had some iv synto put up which of course meant really close monitoring due to my previous section. This meant I couldn't move around much but they did find some telemetry monitoring which meant I could sit on a birthing stool in the hope that his head would come down. Four hours later his head was down further but I hadn't dilated much (only to 5cm) but the following two hours were incredibly intense and he was born after about three pushes about six hours after my waters were broken. i used gas for the first time which was great, especially given how quick the transition was. The only drama was a vulval varicose vein which seems to have ruptured so I've got an egg sized lump and an ice pack!

He is very sweet, we're too exhausted to talk about names yet. I'll have to wait till I'm home to post some pics. Oh, and he's 3.52 kg (7 pound 12) and quite long. So not too big for 39 weeks at all. I was planning on going home tomorrow but might give it another 24 hours so I can properly rest and let this swelling settle. Luckily I didn't need stitches as well.

Thorz, how are you doing?
