Hellobee Boards

@auggiefrog: hoping things get moving for you and you get some rest during the early stages!

@auggiefrog: hope you can get some rest. So exciting you're on your way to having your little one in your arms!

@jh524: nope. I was barely dilated, so I got something that will soften my cervix and hopefully get things started. I wasn't even having contractions, and I still don't think I am.

Thanks girls. I had this weird feeling it would happen this weekend. Haha. It would have been nice to enjoy a few baby free days of maternity leave though. It's also been a few nights since I've gotten any sleep. Oh, well. I'll keep you posted!

Hi ladies - my edd is 5/2 but looks like I'll be an April mama.

(Copy and paste from May boards) I'll be going in for an induction at 37.5 weeks on Thursday. My bp has been high all pregnancy but the last few dr's visits they've been 160/90. No protein in urine though and no swelling, so dr is not concerned about preeclampsia but says the baby will be safer coming at this point. I had to be induced with DS too so I'm not too nervous since I already know what to expect. But ahh even though I'm excited to meet this LO and for Ds to have a sibling, I'm not emotionally ready that DS is no longer my only child.

@iluvboba637: hi and welcome! how old is your son? My son will be 3 in July. He talks about baby brother a lot and I think he's excited although we just had the worst tantrum ever so I'm hoping it's not a sign of what's to come Lol

@iluvboba637: welcome!

@auggiefrog: you're moving along!

@iluvboba637: welcome to the April board! I hope I don't go over into may lol

@auggiefrog: I hope things move along quickly for you!

@iluvboba637: welcome!

@auggiefrog: glad things are moving! Go mama!

Hi everyone

Sorry for the lack of update - the hospital has no phone signs and no WiFi.

Seren Matilda was born at 10.35am on Friday 8th April, weighing 7lb 2oz. She's absolutely perfect and we are in love. I will update more when I get a chance - we have just got home.

I can see there are updates from some of you. So exciting! I cant wait to catch up with you all..... when I'm allowed to put Seren down for more than 30 seconds!!

@iluvboba637: I know!! I can't wait either!! We went and got the gift lo will get from baby when he comes to visit. A bug box, a dinosaur egg, lizard and some candy.

@Cherrybee: yay!!!! I've been wondering about you and your baby. So excited for you! Congratulations on your baby girl! Love her name can't wait to hear more

@auggiefrog: good luck!!!

@Cherrybee: hooray congratulations! Hope you are feeling well mama!

@Cherrybee: congrats!

@Cherrybee: congratulations!!

@Cherrybee: Congrats! What a beautiful name.

@Cherrybee: Congrats!

@jh524: How are you feeling about tomorrow? (its Sunday here now).

@auggiefrog: Eek, that's exciting. I hope you're getting on great.... can't wait for an update!

@iluvboba637: My little girl is not amused to have a baby sister. She was most unimpressed that the baby woke her up three times last night and told me today that she doesn't like her sister.

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I've got a new hypnobirth style labour technique for you, that I invented during labour. It's pretty weird (!) but totally helped. I was labouring standing up, leaning on the bed at the peak of contractions, and, whenever a contraction started, I imagined I was one of those wind tunnel waving puppet things that they have outside used car sales places - I made myself go all floppy and waved myself about in the wind. It worked until transition.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone. Here she is:

@Cherrybee: she's beautiful! Congrats!

@auggiefrog: definitely not caving...it's all about survival. Plus sometimes that's what you need to help things move more quickly. Fingers crossed your near the end soon!

@poppygirl15: I totally get being jealous! But the upside is you get to celebrate your anniversary.

Afm, it's 3:30 in the morning here but I am up bc my (never a great sleeper) son has even more seriously regressed this week and does not want to be in his room alone. So I am in the dark, on my phone, sitting vigil until he can fall asleep again. Really hoping that this week is a fluke - not sure how I can deal with 2 kids up all night soon!!

@auggiefrog: hang in there mama..

@Cherrybee: she's so adorable. sorry to hear about your older DD, i hope she warms up to her sister soon!

@auggiefrog: it's not caving! It's all about doing what you gotta do and labor pains are painful! Hang in there mama! You're almost there!

@cherrybee: hi there cutie pie! Hopefully big sister will come around soon. My oldest who is 4 and has been talking up being a big brother has suddenly decided he wants to be a baby and is talking in baby talk and wants to be carried and acts like he can't do anything independently! It's tough on them.

@poppygirl15: looks like that LO may want to interfere with your anniversary dinner Keep us posted!

@bloved: our 4 year old never can fall asleep on his own and we recently moved him into his big boy room and got all of this really cool stuff for his room to entice him to stay in there but he still comes into our bed every night and we are just too tired to redirect him back but I really don't know how it's all going to work with a newborn in our room too! Ugh!

@auggiefrog: hang in there, mama! Can't wait to see your update that baby is here!
@Cherrybee: perfection hopefully your older dd will come around. I'm nervous about how my dd will react to the reality of a baby in the house, too.
@poppygirl15: how exciting! Keep us posted and good luck!
