    Mine are way up too. Up a shoe size for sure. Although last time I went up two sizes because of the summer heat! 36 week check for me tomorrow, as well as our wedding booking appointment - super excited!

    Our little young man was born at 37 weeks via planned / emergency induction yesterday. Mum and young man doing great after a long day for them both :)

    One bit of advice is that a number of the things in our birth plan had to go out the window for heath / medical reasons, and just there comes a point when you have to trust the relationship you have built with your midwife and also that the doctors know what they are doing :)

    Huge congrats! Delighted everyone is doing well :D
    Re the birth plan, you'd be surprised how much of it goes totally out the window even in a normal birth! I had planned to be very active during mine, and I ended up on my back the entire time! Granted, there wasn't a lot of room for walking, but still :pac:

    I feel like this end of the pregnancy is DRAGGING! 37 weeks on Monday!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,818 ✭✭✭jlm29


    Congrats! Great news!
    I didn't make a birth plan last time, coz sure, I hadn't a clue what to plan for! I haven't really considered it this time either, though I have a few extra plans in my head than last time around!

    Congratulations :)

    I'm so nervous about it all, 12 days to due date and struggle at times, think it's like being overwhelmed by it all.

    18 for me and I am a bag of nerves too! And this isn't even my first! :pac:

    Honestly, I'd welcome a start now. Got everything ready and my wee one is staying in her Nana's. Got my induction date for the 11th of December - here's hoping I go before that!


  • Registered Users Posts: 273 ✭✭New farmers wife


    This is my first, nearly had a meltdown last night. Back to hospital tomorrow, last week they said they might do an internal exam this week!!


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,585 ✭✭✭✭antodeco


    Baby boy born today at 2:08! Small little guy at 7lbs, but glad he's finally here! :-)

    7lbs isn't small at all? Congratulations :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,528 ✭✭✭ShaShaBear


    7lbs isn't small at all? Congratulations :)

    My daughter was 8lbs 2.5oz and the midwives told me that was about average these days, especially for first-time mums, and that they were rarely surprised at anything under 9lbs7oz!

    Congrats great news on your little mans arrival!

    7lbs is considered small these days apparently. 8lbs is 'normal' now according to my midwife.

    So I'm overdue since Monday with no stir at all :(
    Pretty gutted as I had hoped I'd see some action now. Booked in for induction Monday so this isn't ideal but at the same time we are hugely excited for the new arrival :) First timers here!

    I'm suffering with a very annoying cough the past few nights which is a) driving me insane and b) making the insomnia 1,000 times worse Grrrr

    How's everybody else doing?

    Still time yet! I had to be induced with my first as well and it was, overall, a very pleasant experience as far as births go :o
    Start coughing harder :P
    Just blew up my birthing ball (albeit a bit late in the pregnancy) and finding it's not giving me the same relief from back pain that it did the last time :(

    That's great to hear your induction went well on your first shashabear,...I've been reading up about positive induction stories today to try & get myself in the right mindset.

    Heart goes out to you with back pain. Have you had it all the way through? You had it last time aswell so I hope it'll stop as soon as babs arrives.
    I've been lucky to escape it but it must be torture. Any relief when lying down or is it constant?

    Lol at the coughing harder by the way - didn't think of it like that :):):)

    Very well. Granted the labour progressed very, very fast but there's nothing to suggest that it might not have done that anyway. All in all the only downside was that it meant I didn't get the MLU and my partner had to go home that night :o
    Yeah I've put on a good bit of weight. Not as much as last time but enough to put more strain on my body than it probably needs :pac: But it only really manifests towards the end of the day when I've been on my feet a bit (can't really be avoided with a toddler ;) )


  • Registered Users Posts: 414 ✭✭billiejosie


    Really thought things were starting last night, had really bad cramping pains and nausea, felt awful! Eventually got to sleep and woke up still feeling awful but the cramps had stopped.

    They have actually been happening all day on and off since, but there's no pattern to them so I'll wait until my week 38 appointment Monday and see what the consultant says. Pregnancy is tough going at this late stage! Will totally be worth it though :)

    The back pain is unreal, I've never had it before, dear lord its an awful dose


  • Registered Users Posts: 273 ✭✭New farmers wife


    I had a sweep done yesterday, what an experience I def won't forget no matter how hard I try!!! Booked in for induction Monday week if nothing happens which is the day before my due date. I know TMI but think if it's possible then today I've been losing the mucus plug slowly.

    Its been a very eventful week!

    At the 39 week consultant appointment last week, we were told i was to be induced the following day!

    1 minute past midnight on Wed 25th November, baby Lily was born at 8 pounds 7 oz :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 273 ✭✭New farmers wife


    I was induced last Monday, little baby girl Lucy was born at 16.01 8lbs 8oz. Still doesn't feel real that she's here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,528 ✭✭✭ShaShaBear


    Congrats to you both! Looks like I won't make it for November at all at this rate! Officially due today, but she seems perfectly cozy and happy to stay put!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,818 ✭✭✭jlm29


    Congrats you guys! I too will be welcoming a December baby it seems. Was due on sat, but nothing stirring yet!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 668 ✭✭✭Coopaloop


    Congrats all, majorly jealous. I was due last wed 25th, still no sign of this baby making an appearance. Hope its not as long as their big brother who made me wait 14 days after his due date to meet him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 79 ✭✭Gmail


    Congrats to all those who have had their babies & best of luck to those en route!

    My little girl arrived almost 2 weeks ago now on Tuesday November 17th.
    Absolutely besotted with her, it's such an amazing time, she is heart melting amazing!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,687 ✭✭✭tHE vAGGABOND


    First time on boards in years and wondered how everyone here is doing 18 months on [or so!]


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,818 ✭✭✭jlm29


    I ended up with an early December baby, nearly 18 mo now, and he's busy out! He's only recently started sleeping through the night, and I'm loving it! Just waiting on my June 2017 baby to arrive now though, so it's about to get even busier!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,528 ✭✭✭ShaShaBear


    December baby here too, she's STILL refusing to walk and the cheekiest mare I have ever come across in my life! She absolutely worships the ground her Irish Twin sister walks on, but the day is split 50/50 between them holding hands and kissing and saying "I love you" to them spitting at each other and throwing tricycles at each other.

    You'd think I was exaggerating, but no. :pac:
