Good luck Quackles

Grawns

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

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

January

Hope it all goes well for her!! Looking forward to coming on to see what she had!!

Quackles

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

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

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

haahaa this thread is funny

Best of luck with the sneeze Quackles

Quackles

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

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

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

Trinity

Now theres dedication to the boards

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

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

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

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

Quackles

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

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

Congrats Quackles! Worth the wait isint it.

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

Trinity

Oh congrats!! Delighted mammy and baby are doing well.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.:):):)
