    Nope still no babs. Getting irregular contractions every few hours but the docs won't do anything at all. Just keep waiting. They won't even check my cervix ffs. I'm beginning to lose my patience with the lot of them. Waters started leaking five days ago and broke properly at 2am sunday mornin, second bag went at 5am monday mornin and they just want to wait.

    Are you still in hospital thumby or at home?

    For those of you who are on maternity leave, is it horrendous just playing the waiting game? I was really looking forward to having some time off before the baby arrives but loads of people have told me that the waiting is going to drive me insane!

    That's a stubborn little man you have in there!!

    Have the doctors given any indication of when they would be willing to do something?

    Thumby how long are they going to leave it?? Surely there is a risk of infection with no waters??

    Ok so woke bit better mood today sp fingers crossed. This last week I've hardly done anything. Must get on with sorting baby room out and putting her clothes etc away.... The week has just sort of disappeared on me gazing out the window!!! Whoops!!!

    Hi ladies,

    Alert: ahead TMI

    Went to toilet earlier and had like a clear jelly like blob when I wiped. About size of 20c maybe.

    Then had a smaller one the same as before the next time I went to the toilet

    Do you think this is a show? I know some same it's blood stained. But this was diff to the usual discharge. What u reckon??

    Well she finally arrived Tues night after three days being monitored in hospital for raised fetal heartbeat. Was having contractions for almost 2 days and getting nowhere, then went from 3 to 10cm in about 4 hours, pushed for half hour and out she came. Epidural didnt really work and wouldnt give me gas and air as had given 2 lots of epidural and 2 strong boosts of it and was in back labour so lot of pain but as soon as she arrived i was ready to go again! Best feeling ever just looking at her she is so perfect and even tho am totally shattered its just amazing having her here.

    Hope rest of ye will all have your precious bundles with ye soon.

    hi all had my little girl on wednesday morning. shes just perfect... hope yas all doing well xx


  • Registered Users Posts: 301 ✭✭Nicky987


    I'm just back from my hospital check up. 39+1 today. The dr was very dismissive!! She scanned me and said baby head is high up and that I need to walk around more (althought 2 weeks ago I was told baby was deeply engaged??)

    She said see you next week.

    Tried to tell her that I was having lots of headaches this week and her response was well your bp is fine so see you next week. Didn't even get to tell her ant the blurred vision I was getting. I didn't even get to sit on the chair. She just scanned me and that was it.

    I'm annoyed that I actually just excepted it and walked out!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 66 ✭✭Nicky30


    Went to maternity today, 39+1 baby is head down and apparently engaged, so i could go anytime now, the Doctor asked did i want the internal exam today or next week!

    I said next week :o

    Back to maternity 29th, i'm due 28th ;)

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,143 ✭✭✭Thumby


    Congrats petal and Nicky, delighted for ye both. Baby lorcain arrived on the 19th at 6.28 pm after an emergency section (no labour) weighing 5lbs3. He was in the nicu until the wed afternoon when they transferred him down to the ward with me and I'm delighted to say we were both allowed home on the Thursday evening. :D
    Hope everyone else is doing great and we see the rest of the beans arriving soon.


  • Registered Users Posts: 160 ✭✭Tigerton


    That's fantastic new Thumby. Really glad you and your little man are getting on well.

    Hope all the other January bumps / babies are doing well.

    Thanks tig, yeah things are flying now that we're home, he wouldn't really take to the breast in the hospital but is pratically stuck to it now lol. PHN is due out tomorrow so we'll she what she has to say but i think she'll be happy with him, he only lost 70grammes before leaving the hospital which was brillant.

    Aww Thumby delighted to hear you're doing so well & both of you are home :) how are you feeling after the section? Fine weight for 6 weeks early!

    Thanks hun. Phn was out today and was delighted with him. He's already put on 20grams since we came home, not a lot really if he had of been full term but considering how early he was its a lot according to her. So I'm happy out with that. Hes still beyond tiny though. Ill stick a pic of the squidgy allah up. :DI'm not too bad after the section back to doin all the housework including hooverin etc and feeling great. I did however bust open a couple of my stitches lifting k on the Friday and they are becoming a bit bothersome shall we say, but other than that ya wouldn't even know I'd had a section at all. Wasn't like that for my time in the hospital or the first few days after I got home but I was right as rain by Monday morning.
    How are you getting on now?

    That's brilliant that he's doing so well :) great to hear how we'll you're getting on too! The recovery only gets easier from here although you should get those stitches checked! I got staples and if I ever have another ill be insisting on them instead of stitches :) we're all doing great here apart from no sleep lol! One sleeps all night and is awake and go go all day while the baby sleeps all day and stays awake all night! It's surprising on how you can survive on so little sleep :o


  • Registered Users Posts: 160 ✭✭Tigerton


    Really great to hear ye are doing well ladies. Thumby, he'll be flying in no time!

    I feel almost normal now a month after my section - I say almost cos I ran for a bus yesterday and had awful pains in my scar after. Apart from that its just the tiredness that's bothering us too! She takes ages to settle at night though and we mostly don't get to sleep till after one, but after that she settles fairly easy after feeds.
    My little lady is piling on the weight though, delighted to see how chubby her little thighs are getting!

    Little boy arrived at 1.44am this morning after I was induced. Went from 1cm dilated to having him in 2hrs 44mins so was super quick. Weighed in at 9lb 2oz so a fine little fella.

    Congrats :D big boy! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together x

    Baby Alice arrived by natural birth, gas and air, no time for other pain relief methods because i was 6-7cm dilated without me knowing!! I was walking up and down the ward doing deep breathing exercises.

    Straight up and out comes baby.

    Ended up having a retained placenta with major blood loss and was very ill.

    But thankfully, baby Alice is 7lbs 9oz and we're home safe and sound after all that :)
