Sunny, that's like classic Gilbert & Sullivan. I highly recommend that strategy for keeping Beeps under lock and key (and under the legal age for anything fun).

I think you only don't have a real birthday if you were born on February 29th.
― tokyo rosemary, Tuesday, 28 April 2009 20:07 (sixteen years ago)
Alice was induced too, but I've never ever heard that 'not a real birthday' thing. How bizarre.
Meg, good luck for tomorrow (if not before!!)
― Archel, Wednesday, 29 April 2009 09:19 (sixteen years ago)
They won't leave it til next week because it's hospital policy to induce at term+12 and I would be +14 on Monday, plus the delivery suite is so busy that often you have to wait a day or two to get an induction slot, so that could take me into the middle of next week. TBH I am so fed up with being pregnant that I'm willing to be induced if that's what it takes! but would obviously rather go into labour naturally.
I had strong, regular contractions from 4am-6am this morning but they have tailed off since, here's hoping they get started again.

good luck!

Not knocked up any more! Archie William finally arrived at 3.52am, weighing in at 8lb 15oz. Will post on the photo thread later.
― Meg (Meg Busset), Thursday, 30 April 2009 16:46 (sixteen years ago)
Yay!!!!! Thats so great, Meg. Snuck in just before the induction, right? Sounds like everything went well. Was it faster and/or less painful this time? Congrats! Can't wait to see the photos.

Fantastic news, congratulations! Glad you didn't have to go through the induction, can't wait to see the photos
― Vicky, Thursday, 30 April 2009 19:37 (sixteen years ago)

Archie! Woot! :-) How are things going?

All going fine, thanks! He's an angel baby thus far, mainly just sleeps and feeds (and feeds, and feeds -- weighed in at 9lb 9oz yesterday, ie has put on 10oz in 12 days!). It seems much easier than the first few weeks with Howie; I don't know if that's because Archie's more laidback, or we are...
― Meg (Meg Busset), Wednesday, 13 May 2009 15:01 (sixteen years ago)
sounds like elisabeth. the first three weeks all she did was sleep. then she woke up and never wanted to sleep for more than two hours. hah but oh boy do i feel broody seeing all these wonderful babies.
― the tip of the tongue taking a trip tralalala (stevienixed), Wednesday, 13 May 2009 18:45 (sixteen years ago)

SS, oh crappers, that's horrid. :-( hope it gets easier.
― Sookeh, I vant to suck your titties (stevienixed), Thursday, 2 July 2009 08:02 (sixteen years ago)
Ah, I had sinusitis for about a month in this pregnancy too. Got antibiotics in the end, which sorted it in a couple of days.
― Meg (Meg Busset), Thursday, 2 July 2009 12:27 (sixteen years ago)
woah just found out my brother's wife is pregnant with a boy due 2.5 months after Henry. weeee.

Just noticed this thread - wife's due on Friday with our first. Exciting!
― nate woolls, Thursday, 23 July 2009 10:52 (fifteen years ago)

― I wish I was the royal trux (sunny successor), Thursday, 23 July 2009 14:26 (fifteen years ago)
Oh you said it's your first. Duh!
― I wish I was the royal trux (sunny successor), Thursday, 23 July 2009 14:27 (fifteen years ago)
hahaha Nate, see how absentminded we get once we pop out a kid. :-)
Congrats btw!

Thanks SS & Stevie - still no sign!

How about now?
― Ned Trifle II, Friday, 31 July 2009 16:55 (fifteen years ago)
Still nothing!
― nate woolls, Monday, 3 August 2009 15:25 (fifteen years ago)
!!!!!
is there a plan to induce?
― Hillary had Everest in his veins (sunny successor), Monday, 3 August 2009 15:39 (fifteen years ago)
Well Sam worked her due date out as that Friday (24th), the hospital worked her due date out as Wednesday 29th. So by her reckoning she's 10 days over, by the hospital's she's 5 days over. She's got a midwife's appointment on Wednesday and I guess they'll decide then whether or not to induce.
― nate woolls, Monday, 3 August 2009 15:52 (fifteen years ago)
Both mine were 10 days over so I feel your wife's pain! We tried all the usual: curry/pineapple/raspberry leaf tea/walking/sex/nipple stimulation. In the end it was a sweep that really got things moving.
― Meg (Meg Busset), Monday, 3 August 2009 19:32 (fifteen years ago)
a little less than 3 months to go here. kid better not be overdue. this pregnancy has been so consistently painful and uncomfortable that i feel like im dying some kind of slow death. /whining
― Hillary had Everest in his veins (sunny successor), Tuesday, 4 August 2009 18:21 (fifteen years ago)
We tried all the usual: curry/pineapple/raspberry leaf tea/walking/sex/nipple stimulation.
Haha...I *did not know* about nipple stimulation!
We think curry did it for us.
― Ned Trifle II, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 20:41 (fifteen years ago)
Damn sex was what got us into the situation in the first place. Not doing that again.
― Ned Trifle II, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 20:42 (fifteen years ago)
Ever.
― Like most people my age, I am 33 (Laurel), Wednesday, 5 August 2009 20:56 (fifteen years ago)
Walking kicked it all off for me I think - late night (i.e. leaving at 11.30pm) trip to IKEA wandering round the whole thing, contractions started 4 hours later.
― Vicky, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 21:08 (fifteen years ago)
my mom dragged me around a mall for FIVE HOURS and it did nothing!
― Hillary had Everest in his veins (sunny successor), Wednesday, 5 August 2009 21:21 (fifteen years ago)
Still nothing. Sam's getting fed up now. Getting induced tomorrow.
― nate woolls, Monday, 10 August 2009 07:48 (fifteen years ago)
wow. best of luck!
― tehresa, Monday, 10 August 2009 07:53 (fifteen years ago)
Right about now I guess! Fingers crossed for you.
