Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond #2

[myrainbowgirl]

Wow, hard to believe how old everyone's babies are or how close we all are to having ours! Time flies!

Pumpkin, congrats on officially getting your b/g twins!

AFM - I am 38+5, a little surprised I haven't had him yet! A few nights ago I had some harder contractions and was feeling pretty crampy, but nothing came of it. Oh well! I am so ready, feeling huge and back hurting pretty badly. I had DS2 at 38+6, so I am really hoping the next day or two! But nothing indicating that it's imminent. We'll see. Will keep everyone posted!

CONGRATS Pumpkin!! I knew it You are having my dream... BG twins! I'm so incredibly happy for you!

Can't wait to see all the newest additions

I think my dream of #4 is just that... a dream. I'm not too sure about having another one any more, but the thought of never getting my DD makes me so sad

So my SiL popped last night, a girl, waiting on stats and pictures but she was supposedly 37 +1 so teeny tiny I'm guessing!

I'm ready now! Drinking raspberry leaf tea few times a day, got my clary sage oil and prepacticing my breathing down to encourage this wee one out! I'm very impatient, I know!

I empathise completely. I used to want 4 as well but this last pregnancy I just sooo felt done, and now baby is here even more so. I am still nostalgic about never having more but also sure. I can imagine myself in your shoes only too well though and can see how the dream would be hard to give up. That sucks! No other way to put it.

My ob told me my uterus was paper thin, after my caesarian this time, despite the ultrasound showing it was fine. He was so glad I didn't force him to let me labour (he had a few reasons I ended up agreeing were too risky) because he said it would have ruptured for sure. He told me not to have any more, and "whatever you do, don't have twins"! lol think he knows me well. To be honest it's kind of nice to have a reason not to go again, other than just "feeling done".

Hi ladies, he's here!

First contraction was at 4 am on the 19th, thought things were going to really go from there, but it all died down and wasn't sure when he was coming...but it picked up and was very consistent from 1pm on. They couldn't break my water at the hospital till I'd had 4 hours of antibiotics due to +GBS, so waited till then and I was 6-7 cm at 10:30. Broke my water and went from there to 10 in just a little while...pushed 3 times and he was here! Born Feb. 19th at 11:50 pm, 7 lbs, 2 oz, 20 inches long. He is gorgeous, and perfectly healthy...we are so blessed! His name is William David, after our dads.

I had an epidural almost immediately after getting to our room, so labor wasn't too bad...although it wore off towards the end and I was still hurting pretty badly. I must say I do get very intense contractions, even early on, so epis are a must for me! Anyway, I did tear a labia (eek), so a little more sore than typical, but overall doing just fine!

Happypixi - Tag, you're it!
