36 Hours And Mostly Been Quiet

Comment Published at 22:3222:3244 comments44 comments126 Visits126 VisitsReport

The title says it all.  Puggle is occassionally busy trying to make her grand escape, but since things got going yesterday morning, it has slowed down to just a view vicious sessions a day now.

Let's call it the 'warm up, wind down' phase.  I still have contractions every now and then, and they are pretty bad when they hit.  My plug is coming away still,but has been for the last 2 weeks.  I thik though, that I have a slow leak in my waters and like with Acacia is only happening when I go to the loo.

Puggle is sitting on my nerves now (and the rest of the girls are getting on my nerves too!) and it is hard to do anything.  I already have a pinched nerve in my back that often paralyzes me when I move the wrong way (just my legs, but takes some effort to move top half of me to get it to stop).  Sleeping is hard and uncomfy as is sitting or walking around. 

Sleep is all I want at the moment.  I have a constant pressure headache now that makes me light sensitive and noise sensitive.  Have had it with the other girls,and it is caused by the extra pressure being placed on the brain via bubs head! lol.

I'm hanging on for Dannii, I so want her to have her little man first.  She's been waiting in pain for weeks, and I've only had 1 1/2 days of it so far.

Thinking of everyone and hope they are all well.  I can't spend much time here at the moment, as my legs go to sleep quickly!

Wishful thinking.  Working on it though, I'll be attacking the laundry once the sun gets rid of the fog, and that might help things along! lol.

Re: 36 Hours And Mostly Been Quiet

Hey Arna,

I thought you would have had puggle by now!! Ive been feeling like absolute crap all day :( contractions 2minutes apart and to be told i was only over 1cm killed me :(  im sure im more by now but i just took panadiene to take the edge off so i can get some sleep!! Im so drained.

Well dont hang on for me lol, i hope puggle starts up again soon. Im use to the pain now, its been 5weeks worth so a little longer cant hurt me.

Hope you can get some sleep.

Dannii xxo

Hi Dannii, I so hope you have had Ashton by now. 

Am waiting for someone to let us all know how you are doing.

I'm resting as much as I can, but not easy.  I get settled, then need a drink, settled again, toilet stop, hungry, smoke break, can't get comfy etc etc! lol.  The couch is the best place for me at the moment, it kind of cradles me.

Thank you.

I have my plans sorted, and I hope I get the midwife I had last time.  She told me I was doing it on my own, and that she would only step in if I asked her too.  Basically, I delivered my own baby!

I have popped! lol.  My belly button that is!!!!  Just proves I'm huge and further along because none of my others made it pop! 

I'm sure that it can't be too long.  Everything is forming a wonderful pattern now.

Re: 36 Hours And Mostly Been Quiet

I hope so too, but only because I want to start feeling normal again.  By official dates, we are 36 weeks now, so they can't even transfer me to Brissy if I go into labour now, just a compulsory 3 day minimum stay to watch Puggle's weight.

I'm used to having to wait.  All my others were little laties! lol. I don't think this one will be though.  She's really sitting on my nerves and making me jump when she moves her head, so just a matter of time before something gives.

A maximum of 6 weeks,by ultrasound, so not really all that long officially.  My thinking, hhhhmm, certainly not planning on going further away from home than I need to. lol.

Re: 36 Hours And Mostly Been Quiet

Between resting and eating, I've let the washing get away again, so will have to spend some time catching up.  Yay, like i really want to,but the girls are running out of clothes.

I feel really strange today.  I want to sleep and totally pig out, but I also feel sick! lol.  Must be the hormones starting to flood my body now.

Re: 36 Hours And Mostly Been Quiet

Wishful thinking! lol. Officially, we have 4 weeks, but i am already quite big and everything is indicating to us being at least 38 weeks.

All my little angels have been late so far, so an early baby would be nice! lol. 

I hope that by now Ashton has finally made his grand appearance.  I tell you what, he's been a little monster giving everyone the run around like that! lol.  Hey, boys will be boys though.

Re: 36 Hours And Mostly Been Quiet

LOL poor you. Funny how babies like the late entrance. I hope it all goes well if you just disappear on me lol.

I would of thought Ashton would be here but i was in Dannii's same situation. I had pre labour pains in otherwords braxton hicks for months before i had ella every night i thought is this it? Nope slept right through so yes LOL. I got so tired i had to sleep no matter how much pain i was in.

I hope she has gone in already.

Love Kell

And ladies are supposed to be fashionably late! lol.  Not this time please!!!!  Let my last be the rule breaker and come early! lol.

Dannii has hopefully had her bubs by now and is probably wondering how on earth he ever fitted in there! lol.

Oh goodness.. I hope you don't have to wait much longer..
I could not imagine going through what Dannii is going through or you for that matter..
As soon as my waters broke, I was at the hosptial and then it wasn't long before Caker arrived into our world.. Crazy katoic world that is lol.. (8 hrs of labor, I thought that was long and my sister had over 20 something hours of labor.. OUCH)

Re: 36 Hours And Mostly Been Quiet

Dannii had it worse than me.  My body is used to it, so I 've done most of my preparations over the last few months, less stress all round.

When my waters break, and it is a big break, it is then too late to go to the hospital, bubs head is never far behind! lol.

8 hours is pretty good for a first timer.  My first was 12 hours, and the rest have gotten much shorter, with the last being 2 1/2 hours.  This time reduction has me in a spin!  Have to be prepared for a homebirth just in case.

Re: 36 Hours And Mostly Been Quiet

I'm not in constant pain.  I can get comfy if I try, just don't like the pinching of the nerves when I go up and down the stairs holding a basket of laundry!  I suppose it just shows Puggle is still making her escape plans.

I'm resting, I promise!  Sleeping about 10 hours a day and eating more than our whole family put together!!!!!! lol.

Hopefully, Dannii has her little man out by now.  She blogged yesterday that she was finally in labour.  5 weeks is too long to be in that sort of pain for.
