Due in Dec

Congratulations Nic and Family

Awesome news

Yay, congrats Nic on the arrival of Samuel.
Hopefully that starts another round of babies!

Congratulations Nic and family on the arrival of Samuel!

Lets hope for all those waiting this gets the ball rolling again! Come on December babies!!!!

DebsB - I say turn the phone off if its getting to you, considering I had Heidi a week and a half early I was getting texts before 37 weeks and it drove me crazy so I hate to think what its like for you.

Dagster - I know your pain regarding the rash its hideous, I hope it goes away soon, maybe the heat is making it worse?? Oh and I had terrible trouble with baking while pregnant, i cooked a banana cake, date loaf and scones on grill setting!!!!!!!!

I am just chilling at the mo while Heidi has a sleep. She had her first go at tummy time today and lifted her head and turned it too the other side very gracefully with lots of control, I was such a proud Mummy.

I have managed to keep visitors to a minimum up until now, looks like this afternoon there is going to be a whole lot of them and I dont know if I am looking forward to it............actually I am not looking forward to it at all!! Mostly its the inlaws and they have had to stay away as they have had a tummy bug up until now, my SIL just opens her mouth and says all the wrong things all the time (she even tried to tell the MW at the hospital how to do her job!!!!!) plus my nieces just wreck things at my house every time they come, it stresses me out!!!!!! AHHHHHHHH! I need some rescue remedy

I still have a couple of Christmas pressies to get and I dont know when I am going to get it done hopefully when DH has a spare second we can go together.

Well I really hope this is going to be the weekend where we have a mad rush of Dec babies born all at the same time.

Oh I have been typing up my birth story (novel) I want to be able to give it Heidi when she is older, but it maybe too long to post on here.

Take care everyone, labour vibes, sleep vibes and hugs to all

oh oh I thought some one would have updated on here re Noodle....but NO

Well Lana aka had her baby BOY todat via emergency CS at 4pmish. Named him Rory Wayne...she said she is in love!!

Congrats to her and DH and welcome to Rory!!

Hi all!

Looks like Nic has started the ball rolling again!  Can't sleep so have decided to finally show my face here!

Looks like action here.. finished work Wed, saw midwife Thurs, baby was engaged and said ''any day now'', went for growth scan Fri (been having fortnightly scans to check on growth as baby on small size) only to find out that baby hasn't grown since the last scan, scan guy said "time for baby to be in your arms now" and sent me to midwife.

Saw midwife at Botany Downs, and got me on the monitor, baby is strong and healthy and am having regular B.H.s.  Got upset as she wanted me to go to middlemore for an assessment and make a plan, early induction was an possiblity!  Was defin NOT ready to have the baby since I only finished work Wed!!!!

Anyway, turns out Middlemore didn't want to see me as baby was in good shape so midwife organised for me to see another specialist at her clinic Fri night...  by this time was over the shock of the possibility of having baby early.

Saw specialist.... first reaction on looking at the growth chart was "oh that's not bad." Did a personalised growth chart for me and turns out baby is much smaller than what it should be... wants baby out within the week.. booked me in for induction.... for 24th!! We tried for 26 or 27th but no good....  Specialist was great, she wanted me to try and get in labour naturally before induction date... less risk to baby cos it's small (2.7kg) so we agreed to an internal examination to see if I was ready for a sweep... and yep I was! Did the sweep, was 1-2 cm dilated, cervix soft and even the specialist had a chuckle as she could feel the baby's head and baby was moving her head around!

Went home and a few hours later, we have the show.  Still having regular B.H, so fingers crossed something is happening and we dont need the induction(more risk of C.S)!  Am trying to take all this in stride as I still have a mountain of a list of things to do!  Oh well, time to just go with the flow!

Please girls, send me all these labour vibes, I need them!

Congrats Lana and Matt (DH).

Another baby to add to antenatal coffee group.

deafbutterfly - Wow finished work on Wed man I finished last Friday and I am so glad that I did.
((((((((((((((((((Labour Vibes)))))))))))))))))))

I wish my bub will make some dramatic movement.

PS: still itchy

I think I have finished my christmas shopping so I can now relax, today is a horrible day windy and raining. There goes my plan to vacuum the car.

Aimee - Glad to hear you getting lots of sleep and Heidi is being good girl with sleeping at the moment.

Hi girls,
Not much to report with me- got a runny bum and feeling a bit off colour but nothing else happening. Still getting those painful contractions but they have been happening for about a week now so I dont get excited anymore.

Wonder what they will do at my next OB appointment- dont think they do stretch and sweep so will ask them what else we can do.

Dagster- hope your itching calms down!

Yay Noodle- well done on the new arrival! How exciting!

Good luck DB!

Good morning

Congratulations Noodle and welcome Rory!! The boys have definately caught up now!!

(((((()))))) to you DB, Kazgirl, Leash and everyone else who needs them.

Kiwibubs, runny bum and feeling off colour sounds promising. I hope things move for you soon.

Dagster, I hope your itching settles down soon. It must be so frustrating.

My show started about 3.30am this morning, so hopefully that means somethings happening. Can anyone tell me how long it could be before labour starts after a show, or is there no connection? I must admit I tried 2T of castor oil with milk and icecream yesterday afternoon, but it didn't do anything eg no upset tummy. I think I won't try it again.
It's a yucky day here in chch too, grey and raining. Not too cold though, so that's good.
