Pregnancy after Long Term TTC #8

[Loveinamist]

Firstly Paula that is absolutely brilliant news!!!!

A bit exhausted so I will leave the rest of the persies till later but thought I should update you.

Just got back from hospital. Last night I had what I thought was my mucus plug 'bloody' show and DH and I got all excited thinking perhaps the baby might come in a week or a few days. Anyway the bleeding didn't stop and then didn't stop!!! I called the hospital and they said bring all my bags and come in. We of course thought this is it. Anyway get there and the bleeding was still going on but there were no labour signs at all. He has gone back to only 1/5 engaged (was 2/5 last week!!!) and I was only having sort of period cramps not contractions.
TMI to follow!!! So anyway it turns out it was a cervical ectropion. At least I excited the midwife who almost got spattered by it when she was examining me!!! LOL! She said she had never seen such a perfect one! I aim to please!!
So they kept me in overnight to monitor the bleeding but I am home now and hopefully next time it will be labour! I am pleased a bit though because I wanted the baby to be born in 2010 not 2009!!!

BTW Happy New Year!!! Come on 2010 bubs!!!! It is your time now!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Harry Highpants! doing anything spesh???

poppy - oh that sounds awfully dramatic love. must have been pretty disappointing to find out it wasn't labour... but it'll happen soon enough me thinks. Yes, that is coming from the woman who couldn't even handle being 4 days over! lol. oh the hindsight!

Paula - that is just fabulous news love!!! congrats to you and DH!

BOC - hope he comes to his senses. Men have some very strange ideas but remember, they are scared of us

Murph - i'm in awe of that multi tasking. I still sit rigidly still while feeding Ash for fear of screwing it up lol. soon i'll be doing the macarena, the dishes,, cleaning the toilet and feeding all at once

greenslw - i hope it works out for you with the work situation. get some rest and just take each day as it comes, you can't do much more than that lovely. do take care of yourself and take a break when you need it - no point trying to be a hero... you are, after all, a very preggy lady! rest and slackness is mandatory!

saph - the fourth of the second.. what a nice round number for a birthday! hope you enjoy this last little while before bub arrives and good on you for standing firm regarding what YOU want with visitors at the hospy.

hi lillmiss, want a baby, LM and all the girlies here.

ash is stirring but all is well here. finally BF full time now.. so glad to be off the expresser! He was sooo good for new year's, he even woke up for a feed 10 mins before midnight so i could watch the fireworks on the tele! DH opted for sleep lol.

finding i'm handling the ''baby hours'' quite well and DH and I took the running pram for a spin today.. but just a gentle walk.

Girls - just want to lecture you all to make sure you do those pelvic floor exercises particularly if you have a bad back. The first few days post birth, I felt extremely weak and unstable in my belly and lower back. I had been doing my pelvic floor exercises through pregnancy and picked them up asap post birth so feel quite well now.. but i couldn't imagine how bad it would get if i hadn't. iykwim??

oh joy, a pooey nappy awaits by the smell of my little boy. falling a little more in love each day... hope to get on and write my birth story soon...

keep well girsl and belly rubs all round

afm..its my birthday today and im a big 33 woohoo lol..

Happy Birthday Harry! Hope you have an awesome day and get spoiled rotten!!!

soon i'll be doing the macarena, the dishes,, cleaning the toilet and feeding all at once

Murph you crack me up! Hope all is good with you & little Mr Stinky LOL

Just wanted to pop on & wish everyone a Happy New Year!

And to finish off, have a good news story to share. A friend of mine has had two very complicated pregs. Severe all-pregnancy-long MS with both bubs. First bub arrived at 36 weeks. This time around she was told she'd be lucky to make 34 weeks this time aorund. Again the severe MS and many other complications, including nearly miscarrying twice & several episodes of premature labour meant that she has been in and out of hospy the whole preg. Well very happy to say after all that she made her due date (yesterday) and gave birth to a healthy baby girl this morning around 1am! What a happy new year for her! It kind of gives you faith doesn't it?


Enjoy the rest of your weekend peoples!

London Miss hope the cool change has now reached you at 7pm last night I went from melting to happy.

Paula I hope you had a good new years eve.

Thanks for you say saph, did you plan school holidays or all luck?

Smithy, haha re having a baby. Oh I did my belly cast today. DH was very distracted and insisted we do my bust as well (I had a bakini on) it looks pretty cool, my belly isn't as big as I was semi lying down but what a wonderful memory (thanks heaps for the idea) HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Poppyfairy what an excitement you had. I hope labor starts soon for you.

Grub thanks for your thoughts. Hope the pooie nappie wasn't a #3 Happy new year.

BOC thanks for sharing the warm fuzzy.

ATM omg I had the night from hell. My left side has been horrible, at 3am I woke up with the worst period pain but only on my left, I got up and walking helped. Then it moved to my pelvis on the same side and didn't leave till I got some stronger pain killers from the chemist. I was crying it was so bad. I thought the trip to the physio would make me feel better not worse. Here's hoping it's gone after some sleep.

On a great note. I did a belly cast with DH today. It was really special and such a nice thing to do together.

Last night hung out with mum, drew a nice picture and crawled into a much cooler bed at 1.30 and slept like a baby until 3am! hopefully tonight I will sleep properly. Thank goodness for long weekend.

It's 2010 when did that happen

Happy birthday smithy.

Green - being a teacher I have no say in hols. We dont get annual leave we get school holidays just like the kids. It does mean I get 12 weeks hols a year. We didnt plan it it was just the way it happened. Also jagged being paid full pay for my maternity leave as my part time contract expired and i automatically revert back to full time. Yay for me.

AFM - feeling very calm with now having a date and being able to prepare for it. UInfortunately wearing my brace and my newly aquired belly sock (for my torn mucles) I am very hot even though it is not that hot today. Oh well only 4 weeks and 6 days to go.
