To be honest I didn’t sleep last night so I’m knackered.
Currently on a ctg.
I’ll try and get some sleep later. This hospital bed is quite comfy

Good luck, Munchkin! Soon you'll be holding your lovely little baby in your arms xx

All the best for the coming hours Munchkin, bet you can't wait to meet your little one x

Came in Friday 11am to be induced. Due to higher BP I didn’t get induced until 6pm. With a 24hr pessary.
6pm Saturday, had a 6 hr pessary put in.
Was put on ctg again around midnight Saturday and baby was sleepy and not moving much so ended up on it for 2hrs. Then got told they were taking me to delivery suite for monitoring but I hadn’t progressed very far. Until I stood up and felt liquid falling out of me and noticed the bed was wet. Told the midwife I think my waters have gone then went to the loo where they definitely went. Onto delivery suite for 2.30 am today.
10cm dilated around 9am ish I think.
And happy to say baby boy was born at 10.32 this morning. Weighing a tiny 4lb 15oz.
I couldn’t pass the placenta so a doctor manually removed it for me so I didn’t have to go to theatre.
Baby is in special care, only under a heat lamp. They wanted to feed him so had to get my permission to formula feed as I can’t be with him at the min. He also has a tongue tie so that may affect me BF I til it’s sorted.
I am so in love with this tiny human. I can’t believe he’s here.
My belly feels so flat it’s weird.
Hope you’re all ok. Thank you for the messages youve sent x

Hello, not been here properly for a while.

I’m 31 weeks pregnant on Tuesday (due 12th February) so well into my third trimester now. My 20 week scan showed my placenta as anterior and low lying so I needed to be scanned again to see if it’s moved up. That’s due 20th December.

Baby seems to enjoy moving a lot on my left hand side. It feels quite hard and looking online I believe that’s her back or bum. I know she is head down as my midwife checked at 28 weeks. It’s good also as it would appear she isn’t back to back (I’m told this can complicate birth?) so I’m hoping if my placenta has moved I can give birth naturally. Ultimately we want her out safely so what will be will be.

Arr congratulations Munchkin. Been wondering how you’ve been going on. Enjoy the lil one and hope he’s ok and ready to come home with you all soon

Congratulations Munchkin! Fab news.


Sarahj - I had a back to back labour with DS. Was horrendous. I'm opting for a section this time. Hoping my placenta hasn't moved (find out Thursday) as this makes it an automatic section!
