Good luck Quackles

Grawns · 16-01-2009 11:51am #1

Quackles is currently being induced (due in hosp 8am on the 16th) so fingers crossed she has an easy time and her and her bundle of joy are introduced safely and swiftly.

Quality · 16-01-2009 12:48pm

Ahh, Please god it will be quick and smooth!!!

January · 16-01-2009 3:06pm

Hope it all goes well for her!!

Looking forward to coming on to see what she had!!

Quackles · 16-01-2009 6:07pm

Oh man, I hope she has an easy time... hey, wait a minute, not this easy!!

Nothing stirring today, methinks this baby is waiting for its due date!

Had another sweep a while back.. doctor would prefer I not have the baby in the night time because of the diabetes, so she's administering more gel tomorrow morning at 6 and then reviewing me at 11, with the hope of breaking my waters.

She said I should have baby by 3pm tomorrow. But you never know, might go on my own anyway.

The feet are walked off me now! I have a path worn into the halls

Brought the laptop and mobile modem with me, so I'll let you ladies know how I get on!

Good luck tomorrow. Easy squeezy baby vibes being sent your way right now... :P

You can't call it a real boards addiction til you've posted from the maternity ward

Although from the labour ward would be even better!

Indeed, may it be a six pounder who comes out when I sneeze

Grawns · 16-01-2009 9:09pm

See if you can post in between contractions

Now that would be legendary!
hope you sleep well tonight and have that sneeze tommorrow.

I love a challenge

January · 16-01-2009 11:47pm

Jesus... and I thought I was addicted to boards...

Not all of us can be lucky with the 6lb'ers though Quackles, only a select few

templetonpeck · 17-01-2009 11:41am

haahaa this thread is funny

Best of luck with the sneeze Quackles

Quackles · 17-01-2009 10:12pm

No sneeze today

I'm officially losing my mind!! I just want go home! I'm having painless contractions every 5-6 minutes, I'm trying to convince myself they're getting stronger, but it's probaby wishful thinking. It's probably a good thing, too, I'm too tired to have a baby tonight. Watch this space - I might have a baby in time for my 30th birthday. In February. Yes, I'm feeling sorry for myself, I think I've earned that right

Grawns · 17-01-2009 11:11pm

Aaah Quackles,

thinking of you. Must be frustrating not being able to rest properly. Chin up pet, it can't be long now.

ps. You are officially posting from hosp in between contractions. You are a LEGEND

littlebug · 17-01-2009 11:19pm

Hang in there Quackles . I predict your baby will be born at 9.15am 7.15am tomorrow:D

Trinity · 17-01-2009 11:22pm

Good luck quackles!

Don't give up the day job

And Grawns, I don't think it counts if the stupid contraction stop in the middle of the night

Mrs.T · 18-01-2009 10:33am

Quakles good luck! Hope you're pushing right now! Shall we all do the breathing together?

Hopefully you won't have too much longer to wait....good luck xxx

marti101 · 18-01-2009 5:08pm

Any news on Quackles is she still hanging on.God love her this is the worst bit waiting ur nearly finished but babs is refusing to budge.Hope its over soon for her.

Lillyella · 19-01-2009 7:38am

God, I hope she's had some movement, she's probably exhausted.

Quackles · 19-01-2009 9:06am

Well there was to be no posting between those contractions! Going from 3 to fully dialated in 2 hours sounds great, but is not easy at all!

Anyway, it's a boychild! Euan Thomas was born at 6.41 yesterday evening, he's 8lb 6oz of pure gorgeousness! Looks just like his big brother, except with blonde hair!

January · 19-01-2009 11:56am

OMG, Congratulations Quackles!! Love the name!! Looking forward to seeing a picture of the little one!!

They would have allowed me to go home today, but suggested I stay on another night to get the hang of breastfeeding, which I did, as I'm not very confident at it and I need all the help I can get!

themadchef · 19-01-2009 4:06pm

Congrats Quackles! Worth the wait isint it.

Catch your sleep when you can you're going to need it !

Trinity · 19-01-2009 5:58pm

I spotted the poster alright! I think I'll need it, finding that part very tough. I really want to do it, but it's sore and he fed for an hour and a half last time :eek: I think he's just using me as a dodie at this stage, the little monkey!

embee · 19-01-2009 11:17pm

Congrats Quackles and Mr Quackles and welcome to the world Euan.

Great name, great weight.... pics plz?!

Congratulations Quackles, what a beautiful boy, so alert looking, he looks a couple of weeks old!!! And a fine weight too. Well done. Best of luck with the breastfeeding too.

dlambirl · 20-01-2009 12:58pm

OMG is that child a newborn?!!! :eek:

As another poster said it looks a couple of weeks old!!!

He is absolutely gorgeous, possibly the cutest thing i've seen all year

marti101 · 20-01-2009 1:57pm

Hes beautiful really gorgous.Good luck with the breastfeeding and you know you can always come on here for a moan lol.And if you need advice well the door is always open.:DNow get yourself couple of dvds and nice choccies so when ur bf in the twilight hour you wont go round the twist.

I found it very tough in the beginning! Lansinoh was my best friend, it does get easier as time goes on. The best advice I got was to enjoy the sit down and feeding time and go with the flow. Good luck!

Your boy is very handsome!!

marti101 · 20-01-2009 3:43pm

I did find the first few weeks hard but take it a day at a time and go your own pace and dont listen to anybody elses horror stories.Especially off people who probably never breastfed.Im still going 10 1/2 months later so it does get easier.

KittenCaboodle · 20-01-2009 4:38pm

Oh my God Quackles, he is so beautiful it's brought a tear to my eye. To think that only yesterday I was declaring that all newborns look a bit weird, definitely not true in this case.

Congratulations to you both!

templetonpeck · 20-01-2009 7:30pm

awww yay congratulations Quackles and what a handsome little boy he is. Well done both of you....hope you're both settling well.

lmao @ kittencaboodle lol:D

Grawns · 20-01-2009 9:00pm

Aaahh Quackles - what a beautiful boy. Good luck with the breastfeeding. I'm planning on doing it myself and I'm dreading it. From everything i've read it's all in getting the latch right which means constantly asking the nurses is the baby positioned right. Also An hour and a half feeding:D That my dear might a gourmet child. Hope you stick with it as it's supposed to be a wonderful experience once you get past the first weeks. Insult to injury to new mums eh :rolleyes:

Quality · 21-01-2009 11:59am

He is a beauty... Lovely features!!

Hope you are keeping well now... Enjoy him, they grow up so fast. My little Glen is 10 weeks already..

Make sure your getting good rest and down forget your pelvic floors!!:pac::pac:

And try and keep up with the breastfeeding, Its worth it and you will be soooo proud of your self if you persevere!!

wolfpawnat · 21-01-2009 1:37pm

Quackles, he is handsome! He is absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations again and hope ye are starting to relax and sort yourselves into some little bit of sleep here and there.:):):)

littlebug · 21-01-2009 1:40pm

Moonbeam · 21-01-2009 3:44pm
