Ok so I had about 3 or 4 quite painful contractions after I went to bed last night but then it stopped and I fell asleep. Disappointing!
 
Tallybee I was contracting from 12-4am...I'm knackered I must admit I know worried as I need to have c section and am booked for Friday, would prefer to just hold off now. Would've been different if it was a week or two early. I honestly thought it had started last night, but felt like I had to wait for them to become regular before contacting the midwives....
 
Congrats Claire!! So glad it all went well! He is beautiful :thumbup: The picture of you both is so sweet!

It's crazy to read all the updates from everyone now, from babies being born to c-sections or inductions planned to labour watch... It seems like it wasn't that long ago that we were in 2nd tri, which for me felt like the longest and most boring time ever! Now it's all going super fast!

But nothing happening for me haha! First day of maternity leave today (I'm not counting the week-end :) ), I'm now 38+1, and it's going to be a waiting game until baby comes... But no sign yet, I guess he/she's too comfy in there :haha:
 
congratulations Claire he is beautiful I am glad all went well and he is here safe :hugs:

:hugs: ladies you are all so close now :thumbup:

34 weeks here and full term still feels like forever away :wacko: :(
 
I'm happy to say baby's head isn't engaged (I'd be gutted if I was waiting on natural labour). I had a midwife appointment and all is well with urine, no, heartbeat etc, but baby's head is high still. I hope we can make it to our planned date on Friday. Only 4 sleeps...just hope I get more than my piddly 4 hours I got last night...I know how precious sleep will be next week!
 
:haha: I think this is maybe one of the only posts I have seen where someone is happy that baby isn't engaged - hope baby stays that way for you :hugs:
 
Congrats Claire!!! Reading back a few posts it seems there are quite of a few ladies ready for baby to come lol! I keep telling my lil one I hope he doesnt come too early...im having a feeeling he is liking it in there anyway and I have a tiny feeling he may come a little late but, we shall see what happens...
 
Twag I know, would've been heartbroken if I was waiting on labour kicking in. As well as the logistics of having childcare set for DD and getting an elective rather than emergency c section, by it happening on the (local) holiday weekend I'll often be off (I'm a teacher) at baby's birthday and OH gets paid on 25th of every month, so that's handy for birthdays too. Don't get me wrong, I would've liked him to come by now, but now that I'm so close to the planned date, it would be better to happen as planned.....I am so glad I'm not going past 39 weeks though as I am just so sore and exhausted now.
 
No sign for me at the moment :-( apart from lost a bit of mucus plus last week and nothing since! I had enough of this pregnancy and wanted this baby is out now because of sick of doing school runs every day until October Half Term!!!!! :-(

Anything to encourage the labour? Or what to help loose the mucus plug :haha:

I am nearly 38 weeks - this thurs.

Will see my midwife this Wed.

Congrats to Claire! Wow what a whooping 9lbs baby boy!! Xxxx
 
Well I was up this morning having pains every time i tossed and turned in bed. That was about 1:30am. Continued having period type cramps that were all the way into my hips and lower back...Then i wake up this morning and it feels like the cramps have calmed down a bit. Still there.. but not as bad. :(
 
I'm so glad I'm not the only one with these period pain cramps!! They're so frustrating. I'm ready for Oliver to make his appearance, but the house isn't yet. Haha. Id rather go naturally than be induced tbh, but I guess we'll see what happens!

Congratulations Claire!! xx
 
Yea i was induced with my first son and it was HORRIBLE! Then with my 2nd i had a sweep an that got things moving.

As of right now i'm still cramping and i've been really nauseous since last night. I HATE NAUSEA!! sigh :(
 
I had that a couple of nights ago, I think it's worse than actually being sick! I hope you feel better soon. I keep thinking that everything might be a sign of labour, but then it goes away.

I'm really hoping being induced is a positive experience, but I am preparing for the worst :( It doesn't help that DH can't stay with me beyond visiting hours either, unless I'm in active labour. I hate hospitals & could really do with him there to keep me calm through it all! Pets are all sorted now, so he'll just be coming home & worrying about me & Oliver anyway :(

I managed to express some colostrum today! My MW gave me some 1ml syringes at my last appointment & I filled one today. I could have filled more, but I figure a few ml is better than none right now! I have another appointment on Thurs, so I might ask for more. The hope is I won't end up needing them anyway!
 
Charmed I wish I could feel like my breasts are working, I worry that LO will get here and I'll be dry! Hopefully the process of labor gets everything working. That's terrible that your DH is considered a visitor. He's part of the program! What a dumb rule.

I felt like I was hungover this morning-weak, tired (barely slept 3 hours), shaky, and like I was going to pass out. I wish I had a good reason to feel that way other than being pregnant:haha:
Cleared & cleaned desk at work and now trying to finish a job so that I can call in sick without fretting about my clients. :sick:
 
Charmed- I keep looking for signs left and right too. That's crap that DH can't stay at the hospital with you. I would lose it. I can't stand hospitals, they creep me out. Lol.

2have- sorry you were feeling so bad :( hopefully you feel a bit better now. As far as breasts working I'm sure it will all sort itself out.


It seems my Braxton hicks have picked up. Still feel like she's NEVER going to come out lol
 
I'm the same thinking everything could be a sign! It's so annoying. The period type cramps are really rubbish. No more proper sore contractions after last night but lots of solid bh.
 
I'm still cramping and having lower back ache. My Braxton hicks have been coming every 7-12 mind apart for 3 hours now.
