    It's looking like my induction has failed and they're talking about leaving me go home for the weekend and restarting again Monday... They gave me one last lot of gel.

    I'm exhausted right now


    Awww cyning you poor thing...
    Baby cyning is a little messer!
    Just catch up on rest at home as much as possible and hopefully you just go yourself x

    Cyning I hope you will be ok and the gel will start working soon.

    Cyning for a baby that they thought wouldn't last the distance...she's really showing them :)

    I know that doesn't help you right now though! Hopefully this last lot of gel will do the trick :)

    Java I'd say you're in early labour, it could go on a little while, but at least you're at the finish line.

    OH talking to bump last night, telling baby he's welcome to come now. I butted in immediately saying "well mammy would like you to leave it 2 weeks and 1 day please cos she needs a rest so she can look after you better!"

    We have been having the opposite chat with our little one :) telling her to stay put til at least monday as my consultant if off this weekend & if I go into labour I'll most likely be sectioned anyway! My guy has a brilliant reputation (full stop but also) for his surgerical skills (he is a cancer guy as well as babies) and leaves very neat scars so I don't want anyone else cutting me open :)
    I'd also like to enjoy my partners bday tomorrow before our new life together begins :D

    Not about the pregnancy though about our whole relationship!

    We also had to deal with a psycho ex who once told us any children we would have would be retarded!!

    :eek:
    Notsobusy, some people can be such gowls!! Sounds like some similar war stories could be swapped there alright, and god help any of them who come near us to see the baby after it all! I keep having a dream that one girl in particular keeps calling to my house and then waking up upset...

    Baby just gave me some almighty thump, haven't felt a movement like that now in a while. I want so badly for him to flip before next week though!!

    Cyning that's awful news about the induction, you must be so fed up by now!

    Java, I really hope things are moving for you now lady! Hate to say that your being in pain is sounding good, but you know what I mean! :D

    Why are so many of the July babas such awkward uncooperative people already?! Cop on the lot of ye!!! Your mothers' patience won't last forever!!:p

    I can only imagine how your feeling... It's so weird, we spend the whole time thinking about the labour and the worst part for me was the two days of crippling period pains before I 'offically' went into labour, done my head in!!!! Labour will be a doddle for you now after what your going through.. ;)

    Yeah Cyning :) wonderful news & if she is anything like my wife she will be the most wonderful person in the world - she wondered if any July babies would be born on her birthday :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,251 ✭✭✭cyning


    I'm in heaven she is just amazing... And as healthy as we can tell so far :D

    Little trooper :) I'm just awestruck...


  • Registered Users Posts: 776 ✭✭✭TwoMums2Be


    :D sounds brilliant :D hope she didn't give you a hard time on the way out & your other half survived ;) She is the biggest so far I think :) Pic when you have a chance please :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,251 ✭✭✭cyning


    He left :) and I genuinely didn't care all I wanted was my two midwives and my epidural... I was only in real proper labour for less than 5 and a half hours: and I don't think if he'd stayed he'd have ever looked at me same again! He was back in room within two min of her being born :)

    It's really not a spectator sport!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 776 ✭✭✭TwoMums2Be


    Well it's better than him fainting & your midwives having to look after him instead of you ;) delighted that all seems well - you must be so relieved she is here safe & sound :) Enjoy your first day as a mammy :)

    Wonderful news to wake up to! Delighted for you Cyning!!! You've had such a tough time, bet it was all worth it looking at her now. Can't wait to see a pic!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,260 ✭✭✭Mink


    In other, less exciting, news... I got given a lovely baby present in work yesterday just before leaving. I still have another week but they were worried I might bow out next week so decided to give it to me today. Got a massive hamper of baby stuff (wipes, toiletries, soothers, weaning kits for when older etc), a little hamper with all toiletries for mammy and another bag of grows, sleep suits, blanket, bibs etc.

    I just couldn't believe it, most I was expecting was a card, can't get over it, so nice of them!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,065 ✭✭✭Kash


    Fantastic news to start the weekend, well done Cyning! And welcome baby Ciara! I have a friend born on the 7/7 and she is one of the sweetest people I know.

    Delighted you are both doing well!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 189 ✭✭NyquistFreak


    Delighted for Cyning! :D Unreal news to wake up to, and for a baby who they said wouldn't last the distance she's so far the closest to being exactly on time, AND the biggest one so far?! Baby Cyning is some little trooper! Good date for a birthday too, our old next door neighbour Mary had her birthday on this date, I'll always remember her for being a legend and surrogate granny to us, and stalking Willie O'Dea round town on a regular basis keeping him on his toes! (he's really started to get useless lately without her boot up his rear end, haha!) She took no **** from anyone either, boss of her own destiny just like this little one by the sounds of it! Congratulations Cyning, absolutely delighted for you girl! :D

    Woohoo, congrats Cyning, I'm absolutely delighted for you and your hubby.
    Ciara is a lovely name, enjoy every minute!
    Did everything happen quiet quickly afterwards? Last time I checked the thread it didn't seem like anything was going to happen until Monday.

    Do we think baby Java might be on her way? :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,251 ✭✭✭cyning


    Everything went superfast in end: waters broke at 9 sent hubby home at 10 got pethadine and maxalon cuz was retching by 11 o clock I was close on losing my life with the pain in my backs legs and thighs. They examined me and I was 2 cm: 2 thinking wtf I was going to do!! I started getting gas and air and they called doc for canula and doc agreed I could get epidural: epidural got put in. They examined after epidural and I was fully dilated: rang hubby then it was 1230 he got in for 1 had an hour and a bit before he left room and I pushed for about 30 minutes to get her out. hubby came back then and held her.

    Placenta came next and got stitches which took forever (also my top tip gas and air for stitches because sometimes epidural can be a bit patchy and ya ow!) and a local anaesthetic too I swear I was nearly worse over the stitches then the pushing!!Actually definitely!

    Fed my little lady then and ate some toast and oj and then came over to baby ward where I have been in awe of her ever since!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,237 ✭✭✭javagal


    woo hoo Cyning!so delighted she's finally here!really made my day!
    well done sweetie x x can't wait to see get.

    Your a legend, u did an amazing job! And they say epidural slows down labour. Us july girls r really bucking all the trends! Sounds like u got the epi just in the nick of time.

    I felt the same about the stitches but I think it's just because in your head you think it's all over when baby pops out and u want to enjoy those first few moments but there's someone poking at you still. Apparently I was giving out to the doc about the length of time he was taking! Poor guy trying to do his best and getting grief for it.

    Don't worry girls, I'll shame yis all with how late I'll go, 2.5weeks left and head isn't engaged!
    Only good thing about the high BP is the medication, bit of a pain having to take it exactly every 8 hours, buttttttttttttttt it makes me sleepy!! So last night I slept from 1-7 (woke up, loo trip and took tablet) and slept again till 10:40!! :)

    head doesn't necessarily have to engage before labour, can do it during..!

    Only thing left to do is bonkage but I soo don't wanna :(:pac:

  • Registered Users Posts: 173 ✭✭mamaheidi


    Just wondering why people feel the need to say anything and everything to pregnant women! OH's sister & her partner were over last night and the partner proceeded to tell me that I'd have at least an 8lb baby, asked whether I was having an epidural (as if it was some sort of cop-out!), told us we'd get no sleep for years, we'd have no time to watch TV and was generally negative about everything! I was fit to swing for her by the end of it! Grinning and smiling was wearing thin by the end of it all! Can't imagine what it'll be like when the baby arrives. (This woman has had kids and claims to be an authority on everything - especially everything baby-related!). Why do people forget their manners when talking to a pregnant woman!?


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 13,425 ✭✭✭✭Ginny


    Yup mamaheidi, people are nuts, I have no idea why some mothers relish telling expectant mothers how horrible their lives will be. When I couldn't sleep for more then 30 mins at a time, the yoke in my office would laugh and tell me at least I'd be prepared for being a zombie when the baby came. She used to do my head in, when I have the baby I will not be in pain, so sleeping is an option when the sleep, the baby has 2 parents, and I won't have to be commuting 1hr each way to sit in an office facing you....I know which side of pregnancy I'll prefer..:D

    Congratulations cyning you must be over the moon. :)

    well our scan yesterday showed that our little minx is now footling breech with one foot down and sort of transverse. It means if she's still like that i can't be induced. Have another scan tuesday and we'll take it from there. If she's still in that position i think i'll be kept in until they do the section. They were almost keeping me in yesterday because at 37 weeks they can't risk me going into labour myself. The only reason they didnt keep me in was i was just 37+1 and if it was closer to 38 i'd have been kept.

    So i'll be bringing my hospital bags with me to the scan. I'd prefer if they do the section as soon as possible now, i'm terrified of going in to labour and not making it to the hospital in time, even though i dont feel my body has any intention of it yet. Have serious pressure pains, oh my god i'm just shuffling around the place when i walk. i'm fantasising about being able to walk upright again some day soon and no grunting when i stand up. I think i'm reverting to the animal kingdom!

    hope everyone's doing well

    Yup its called Pupps, 1 IN 200 get t whilst pregnant usually a couple of weeks near the end. The rash on my stomach is gone, but i've now got it my thighs. if you don't have a rash then i would go to the Dr.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 13,425 ✭✭✭✭Ginny


    Yeah no rash, just like a shaving itch all over my legs, must check the BP meds side effects!
