Freya's birth story

Here is the birth story of our precious baby Freya Louise:  I was having a check up on Thursday with my midwife friend and bought in some cakes for us to eat as was my normal routine! I was feeling good but when I arrived at the hospital I felt I needed to have a poo!! [:$](TMI warning for this story!!!) Anyway I was having my blood pressure checked and she said that it was really high. I ex...

Brought Freya home today!

Hi girls, well what a long haul that felt!!! I went in on Thurs via ambulance and just left today to bring her home!! I am tired to post whole story just now but wanted to let you know she is finally here! She weighed 8lbs exactly and was born on sat 25 th at 7.14pm. I was induced for high blood pressure and had a normal delivery with gas and air only and it was sooooo painful!! No stitches but a ...

Re: Wednesday WAS the day... updated

Hey congratulations soo blessed!!!! She is beautiful and not big at all! The amount of times i have seen that happen! What took so long in labour ? Was she in bad position? Look forward to hearing the whole story. Lots has happened with me. Went to check up Thursday and blood pressure so high got put in ambulance to main unit where i have been ever since. I am being induced today and waiting for...

Re: Time zone confusion

Thanks that is what i thought! So it should be around 11am there now so hopefully she is in good established labour now! Come on Madison!

Re: He's here!

Wow he is a beautiful bouncing boy! Congratulations and give him a big ole squeeze from me!

Time zone confusion

Anyone know what time it is for soo blessed? I thought she was 7 hrs behind uk time? Her profile says -7.00GMT. I normally have to wait until early hours of the morning to hear about her appointments etc. If that is the case surely she isnt at the hospital yet? Sorry if i am being dim! It is 9.30am here and so it is either 2.30am wed am or 4.30pm wed. Cant decide if she is holding Madison yet or n...

Re: Somethings happening!!??

Going for a long walk across cliff top today!! Will hoover stairs on hands and knees and then jog up and down too just for you!

Re: Somethings happening!!??

I am bubbling over with excitement for you over here! I cant believe the time has come finally after a long 9 months and more ttc! I feel emotional and very protective of you! Cant believe they still shave and enema that is prehistoric but still i wont get started on that!!! You have to be there very early or do you go in the night before? Will you get epidural in before the drip starts? Wow she c...

Re: Somethings happening!!??

Wow i am so excited for you! WEDNESDAY you may get to meet little Madison! She is a good size but that wont matter since its not your first i have delivered many large third babies with no probs. Your end is in sight now and that is really not far away, you only have tomorrow to fill!!! I am going to be so lonely on here, what will i do without you??!!! at least get your dh to post on here, can he...

Re: Somethings happening!!??

Look forward to your update and if i dont hear from you i will be super excited!! What will be your posting plan? Will you take a mobile and update from hospital or will it be when you are home with baby that you log in again? Just to prepare myself for the wait! I will try to post from dh blackberry if possible when i go in or will get him to log on asap when baby out! My midwife did offer...

Re: Little lady Viola is here!

Congratulations such an adorable baby. Just love the hair, she already looks so grown up! Know what you mean about feeding machine! Will be better once milk comes in! Enjoy! Wish i could have a cuddle she looks so squeezable!

Re: Somethings happening!!??

Well i shouldnt be surprised by this but..... I have now had a show too, also without blood!!! Do you think we may give birth seconds apart too? LOL!!!! Lovely service at church this morning, how was your meal? No other signs of labour though. Seeing my midwife on thursday for a check up. Post asap after your appt tomorrow i will be waiting for news!

Re: Somethings happening!!??

Sooo, the show isnt always bloody but is like gel or snot and stretchy and thick. If bloody it is because cervix is vascular and loosing the plug has irritated the cervix to bleed. Loosing it is a sign of cervix changes so good sign! Did you try sex? Dont blame you if you didnt as did nothing to start me off! I hope you go into labour naturally and you can get sterilised as is your wish. Over here...

Re: Somethings happening!!??

Tayls, Good luck with the clomid i hope and pray you will release a strong little egg and get that BFP you deserve with a healthy sticky bean! You are an amazing strong person and i feel awful for moaning in these last weeks when you are still on the journey to your BFP. It puts things in perspective here. I will pray this is your month! Its lovely that you are here to support us and i look forwa...

Re: Somethings happening!!??

Hey you lost your mucus plug!!! Thats exciting!!! I dont remember that with any of my kids so must have gone in labour when i was unaware. Dont want mine to go anyway cause of strep b so not jealous but am jealous you have a sign of something happening! I am officially giving up the natural imduction methods after today! I walked and i gardened and i ate a thai curry. I tried some acupressure and ...

Re: Somethings happening!!??

Thanks tayls iwill try the stairs!! Have walked and done gardening today but nothing significant happening. Can get loads of braxton hicks going but they dont kick start labour unfortunately! Patience is what i need! How are things with you? I last read you were trying clomid how is that going? I am keeping everything crossed for youxx

Re: Somethings happening!!??

Well i am still alive!!! but NO contractions started!! Grrrrrrr!! We had a good chat, a romantic meal and to be honest the sex was much better than we both thought it would be! I had a few strong braxton hicks afterwards but then all settled down again. We watched radiohead concert until midnight and then i slept really badly partly coz i drank too much water before bed! I am trying a very lon...

Re: Somethings happening!!??

Our summer break is july 28th for 6 weeks going back start of september so will have them at school for a little while after baby comes. A long day pouring with rain today. I went on my sisters treadmill for 40 mins today to try to walk the baby out! Wishful thinking! Felt better for it though and it made my blood pressure drop nice and low. Really hoping to go into labour this weekend as midwives...

Re: Somethings happening!!??

Maybe you could make a makeshift support with a wide scarf? Careful going cleaning mad make sure you get some rest too! I am not sure about hopping or skipping but i think walking works if you walk so much the braxton hicks can get going and it worked for me with ds1 followed by sex that evening. Not sure dh will come near me though we are getting on each others nerves at the moment!!!! Got both k...

Re: Somethings happening!!??

Glad everything looking good with baby and heart rate. Sorry to hear about your walking and back problems. Are you wearing any support for it? Sorry they didnt want to induce you but maybe your cervix will be more favourable by monday and they will consider it. No new news from me still counting off the days and wondering when it will be! Had my toe nails done today which look good although hard t...

Re: Being Induced Tomorrow - June 16th

I think it is normal to feel excited and scared. I am scared too and anxious my little girl will arrive safely. I am sure all will be well and you will soon be holding her in your arms with your family delighted.
