September Babies Continued

[Wanting-a-girl]

Lennon likes late awake time so he usually goes to bed at 11... And then wakes between 4-5 am he's a good baby but now that my milk has completley dried up thanks to my breast reduction he is on an all formal diet and it's been making him gassy it's only been three days of all formula... He's such a happy little dude tho he's always got a little smirk on him

Girlsway tbh not totally sure she had bath and story with the boys then a feed once they are in bed and so far - touch wood - she has been happy to go to bed......I remember ds1 got a second wind about that time and I couldn't get him to bed before 9 for ages

Wag I'm sure Naomi's smiling too already! Or maybe it's my sleep deprived mind tricking me!

Thorz hope all okay xxx

Well, after never being a fan of "social" inductions I was surprised to find myself begging my OB for one! I've had too many days of niggling pre labour, no sleep and feeling horrible. My cervix is soft and I'm 2-3 cm and she agreed but for tomorrow because she's hopeful that the s and s will move things along. I must say it's a big relief to start planning etc and it means I can get things for the big girls organised. She's planning to start with just breaking my waters so hopefully I'll be like WAG and that'll be all I need.

Thorz, hope you're holding your little girl now.

Mum to3 how exciting! I had to have gel (can't remember name) to soften my cervix enough for them to break my waters then I went into labour on my own and that was fine . Fx it'll go smoothly for you..... How exciting!

Thorz hope you're snuggling your beautiful bubba x

[Wanting-a-girl]

Oh mum23 how exciting, hope things go really smoothy for you

A week of no sleep has really caught up with me today, thought i was doing great but i'm worn out this morning. Back to bed for me and Evie i think

Sorry for the delay...... I ended up not having a section. They called my dr in after finding her arm and hand out and my dr decided to try and push her arm back in first. They had the operating room all ready to go though, I had signed all the papers for the c section and was super scared. Dr wasn't very hopeful that she could get her hand back behind her head. So with zero meds/pain relief, I went through the worst pain of my entire life. My dr put her whole hand up to almost her elbow up my vagina and pushed baby's hand and arm back in and up behind her head!! I've never in my life felt pain like that. I got an epidural right after so just in case her hand came back out, I would be ready for the section. But after her hand was put back in place, everything went smoothly and baby Macie was born at 3:01pm with only 2 pushes. She is tiny, by far my smallest baby, 6lbs 8oz and 20in long. She is so sweet! She latched on almost immediately and is quite a hungry little thing! My phone is dead so I may have to wait until I get home to post pics.

Oh gosh thorz you poor thing glad it went it smoothly in the end congrats cant wait to see pic of your lovely lill lady!

[Mum to three girls]

OMG how dramatic, Thorz! I'm pleased you're both well. I'm sure she's very sweet.

I've had the craziest day of stop/start cramps and tightenings. Just when I think things are all go I rest and everything stops. It doesn't help that my mother, who is now staying with us, keeps freaking that things are really happening (I know they're not) all because her own 4th baby, my little sister, was a short and easy labour.

Thorz big congratulations, brilliant you didnt have to have the section. I can't wait for the pictures.
