Wow another boy! It's the same in my MG. 11 mums but only 2 girls! There's gonna be a lot of competition in 15 or so years!!!
Welcome njd Flynn is usually doing about 1- 1.5 hrs between daytime sleeps. I tend to play it by ear and wait until he seems tired so sometimes it is longer than that. Sometimes even tho I know he is tired he fights and fights going to sleep (it's like he is afraid he is going to miss out on something fun!!) When he is like that I usually wrap him up and put him in the rocker and he usually drifts off in there, so much better than crying!! Haven't tried any solids here, my mum keeps telling me I should start but the MCHN suggested not until about 5mths. I'm sure Flynn would happily gobble up solids, but I'm probably gonna wait a bit longer.
Laura My labour was a lot easier than I expected! I had little niggles from the time I woke up on the 16th but didn't really think anything of them (I was convinced he would be about 2 weeks late!) It was really hot that day and I came home and read the paper and had a cool bath. The pains were very tolerable. I fell asleep in front of the air con! At around 5pm I rang the hospital to ask if they thought I was in labour - I still wasn't convinced that this was it! They said yeah it sounds like it but give it a while, make sure they are getting closer together and longer etc. At around 8pm I begged my DH to get us some pizza!! I had a few pieces and vomited, the pains were getting worse now! We went to the hospital at around 10pm. I was 7cm dilated then. I had the gas and had the CTG monitor on for most of the time. My waters didn't break until I started pushing, that was a bit scary! I needed to have an episiotomy cos there was meconium in the fluid and bubs hb got very slow and they wanted him out ASAP. So Flynn was born at about 3:00, weighing in at 8lb 2oz, on the 17th of March - which was his due date!!
It sounds a bit like Sam may be having a growth spurt (did someone already say that??) Hopefully he will be more reasonable soon. Hang in there girl
I think that's enough for now! Hope you are all well.
