Tegam he described the cervix as been a multios. It was greater then 2cm thick, admitted 2fingers so about 2cm, soft, very posterior, bubs head was high but well applied to the cervix. So basically a normal cervix in a non labour lady who has had babies vaginally before.
News update. I'm convinced I'm trickling amniotic fluid. He checked me out yesterday but today its really ramped up. I'll be getting checked out at some stage today. Its identical to yesterday just alot more. Got checked out at my appointment he did the works and said they were still intact but now over night 4 pairs of undies and some pads I'm convinced there is a leak.
JJ thinking of you today and praying you have a brilliant vaginal delivery and are holding your little lady in no time.

Hi ladies :)
I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to read or catch up at all, I just wanted to let you all know we arrived home from the hospital last night and are all doing well. You've probably heard bits and pieces, and I will most definitely fill you all in about what happened, but for now I'm just focussing on enjoying being a new mum. :)
I haven't checked my B.A yet, but I'm sure Tellytubby did a great job. We named our son Axel Timothy Faccioni. Born via emergency c-section at 2.39am on March 25th. He was somewhat famous in the nursery, especially with all the drama surrounding my hospital stay. Let's just say I didn't get ANY rest. It was weird how many people wanted to pop in and get the juicy story. Weird, and rude. Yesterday I had 10 staff members come into my room to suss out the situation in less than an hour. Just knock and barge, knock and barge. One particular cleaner actually got annoyed when I asked her to leave, and come back later because Axel was so unsettled and I'd had no sleep whatsoever. SO not in the mood to make chit chat!
By last night I was so frazzled after almost 40 hours straight without more than an hour sleep tho, (because of nosy drs, nurses staff etc) I demanded that NOBODY else enter my room unless it's to monitor my condition, or tell me I can go home. (I then got the feeling some of the staff resented my request for some space...... like their 'wants' even matter!) I'll explain in more detail just how shocking the whole experience was, from the big things to the small things, but I think my time on here is already running short, lol. My little man is starting to squeak so I'm sure it won't be long before I have to start the 'snuggle, feed, change, feed, change snuggle settle' routine :)
He is one DEMANDING little man though, gets upset really quickly and I think frankly he was traumatized by what happened to us. Not to mention poor DP. I have never seen him look so afraid or upset. Anyhoo, we're all well now and both DP and I are grateful we all made it out unscathed. Will post pictures when I can um, get anything done besides baby stuff hehe. :) Thanks everyone for your support and for thinking of us.
:heartbeat:

WOW kellbell..i cant believe you're over 35 weeks now....well you probably can because when you're the one pregnant it takes ages LOL...its a long time to be pregnant so the last few months seem like it takes yrs. Dont worry about down stairs!!!! im sure the obs have seen it all and dont even get fazed by it..plus its pretty hard to get down there later in the pregnancy so im sure they are so used to it and have seen everything...
Alish..oh well least you made a little bit of $$$$$...
Jenna...how you going?
Mildez...sounds like it..especially if its increasing..keep us posted
Hey forshelby. Good to hear from you. Sorry you had such a difficult time but im glad you and bubs are ok though. Yes they certaintly take up alot of time in the first few months..and i remember just staring at DD all the time. All i felt like i was doing was bfeeding which took a while, changing, sleeping and then i would sit on the couch and then it be time for feeding again......but i love little miss....when there in a routine you defiantly have more time. Cant wait to see pictures..
ATM..im eating alot more which im worried about. Im hoping bubbie is just having a growth spirt...hopefully water areobics keeps my weight down. I keep waking through the night, its so annoying. This morning it was 5.30 and i was wide awake thinking about future finances!!!!! My dad seems to be getting worse as well, he had to have a MRI yesterday and dye put through him, and then he will go back to the nuro surgeon. Hopefully its not real bad news!!!!! but he is defiantly going down hill and mums finding it really difficult and getting really stressed.....he is 70 but you never want anyone you love to get old and sick....im very close to my parents and spend alot of time with them so its very difficult to watch....still waiting for a responce from CHild support about our objection about there decision on trying to make us pay 20'000.00 to the ex...so thats pretty stressful as well.....and i think thats why i am getting so much heart burn
-
Forshelby OMG it sounds like you had a horrendous time. CONGRATULATIOANS again. I'm of to the hossy to get checked out but by the sound of things a complaint to the hospital might need to be placed. What about your privacy? I'd be pee'd. You did the right thing telling them not to come in except when neccessary for you and Axel not for them. Love his name also.
-
great to hear from you forshelby! i bet youre glad to be home, sorry you had a horrible time, thats the good ol' GCH for ya!
love the name too ;)
melster - sorry to hear your dad is getting worse :( lets hope they get to the bottom of this soon & fix it..
mildez - sounds like things are happening for you???
gosh i cant wait to finish work... only 4 months to go hahah
-
Quick one from me. Things are happening. Membranes have definately gone so I'm heading of to be admitted soon. They wanted to keep me and induce me then but I had more cleaning to do :ROFL: I'm officially nesting. So bub should be here tomorrow at the latest. I'm excited but scared. The might induce me today or else tomorrow due to my risk of infection (I have a known pelvic infection) and they ruptured approx 6am yesterday so well and truely over 24hrs ago. I've got a cannula in and had my first dose already.
-

ohhhhhhhhhhh how exciting..its all happening in here at once...it felt like for months and months nothing and then all of a sudden everyones popping.......cant wait to hear all the birth stories...i love hearing all the stories or im nosey LOL
Congratulations Jenna on you're little girl..hope everything went well
Good luck Mildez..hope everything goes well today/tomorrow. Thinking of you
Congratualtions iona..cant wait to hear you're bs
So is it just Kellbell and Reet next?????
Wow its going to get quiet in here soon when everyone pops.....unless we get some newbies.....or you lovely new mothers keep coming on....i know how time consuming in can be looking after the little bundle of joy .......:p
Thanks ladies..i dont know whats worse...loosing someone quickly or seeing someone deteriate in front of you're eyes and go down hill quickly and theres nothing you can do about it..i hear alot of people saying oh he has had a good innings..he was 70-75 or whatever..but when there you're flesh and blood you want them to be around forever......the baby is due a couple days before dads birthday as well......
I know this might sound strange..but after the mc and being so worried about this baby.....sometimes it feels like i forget im pregnant..i dont touch my belly as much. Dont obsess as much. dont think as much. dont plan as much..sometimes i think it might be a surprise to me when the baby actually pops out...LOL.......it kinda doesnt feel real in a way even with the kicks and the belly.......do you think thats from the mc or being a second baby or just me? Maybe its a coping mechinism to loosing the baby....
-
Well done Mildez!
COngratulations Jenna - just about to go and read your BA....
Ionna has had her baby too! Well done and congratulations. .... just about to read your BA.
BBL for more welcomes to wee ones.
-
all the best mildez, how exciting! :D
congrats jenna & iona xxxxxx
melster - maybe youre just more relaxed about this pregnancy??
ooo reet & kell, youre next!!!!
-
Oooh, lots of babies - I'm going to run off and read some BAs!
Melster, perhaps it's a coping mechanism with your Dad so sick as well. You've got a lot going on in your life. I don't know what's worse, I remember going to a palliative care elective when I was studying nursing and after hearing a family member's story of their pall care experience, she asked "how did that make you feel". No one said anything - so I said "jealous". People stared at me like I was insane, but I didn't have that opportunity to say bye to my Dad, he had a massive stroke when I was 19 and died a few days later, but at least I didn't have to watch him be sick for long either. Since then, I just say take every day you spend with the people you love as a gift, tell them you love them and resolve anything that's unresolved. Oh, and from a nurse's perspective, 70 is young!! So it's not fair. It's not fair at any age, and it's very hard. :hug: Sorry, you probably didn't ask for my life story, but I think there are positives and negatives of every situation - treasure every day with your Dad and enjoy every kick of bubby. Oh, I'm going to still be here when you're having newborn cuddles too :)
Forshelby, I'm sorry your birth experience wasn't what you wanted! I'll be interested to read your story when you feel like writing it and telling it for the 100th time. I think your midwives deserve a slapping for not being YOUR advocate when you were in hospital and telling people to leave you alone. At the least they could have asked you if you were willing to talk to a group briefly rather than everyone coming in and bugging you. I hope you're getting some much needed rest and cuddle time with little Axel.
Good luck to all you girls who are getting closer to meeting their little people in person, how exciting :D
Thanks to you guys for your calming words, I'm still a bit of a nervous wreck, but I'll feel better tomorrow after getting some bt results (there's that positive thinking again). Tomorrow arvo's our early scan too so I've got :crossfingers: and everything else crossed too!
-
i dont come on for a night and i miss all the good news about new lil ones on there way good luck to everyone.......
-
Oh my goodness! Beautiful bubs are arriving in the world all over the place! Such an exciting time! Im off to read some BA's!
Mildez - thinking of you... you may still be in labour right now?! I think this means you got your good doc!! yayayaya! Well done little bubba!
AFM - I went and visited a good friend of mine in hosp last night, she had her baby on Monday - too cute! I had some lovely newborn snuggles! Cant believe that i will be meeting my own little one soon! Feels like a dream! :)
-
can i ask a stupid question...were do u read the ba's
-
heheheheh Melstar i was just having the same problem! I just typed 'Birth Announcements' in the search and they came up!!! I can never remember how to find them!! :)
-
OMG! OMG! I have missed so much woohoo jenna and Iona i will check BA soon.
Mildez-ooh i am so excited for you and cant wait to see your BA.
AFM-I just wanted to say sorry for being absent for a while we are packing and cleaning like crazy to get out of this house and not have to pay double rent for 2 weeks my paid parental leave has kicked in and because DH is still out of work i am getting parenting payment partnered also so the money situation is looking a bit better.
But i did want to say i wont be on BB for 2 weeks beacuse our internet will be disconnected while we move and telstra said we might not be able to get it at our new address as there is no port available for that area WTF!! i yelled at them and said i am a long term customer and pay a fortune in phone bills so fix it so they are working on it i hope it will be up and running as soon as possible.
Ella is doing great we have our grissly hour every evening but otherwise she is a very good baby.
Take care and i will be thinking of you all and hope i am back in time for the kellbell and reets bubs.
Mildez you are in my thoughts.
Tegam-can you text me when midez has her bub i dont want to miss out.
