39+6 weeks, 3cm dilated since 1 week, had membrane sweep today

A rude neighbor passed by yesterday evening and asked me how I was doing, she finally had to say it’s bad to go past due date and asked me to check with my doctor if I can get induced sooner as the baby might eat it’s own potty, have complications, doctors are careless etc etc and someone had this experience among her friends. What a bitch! She has a 3 year old by the way and she talks like this , rubbish

I’m like get to know the science behind anything before you open your mouth, and that’s not what you say to a 40 week pregnant woman.

How rude of her!

 

[jellybeanxx]

Your neighbour sounds awful! Try not to let her get to you, just focus on relaxing and keep that oxytocin flowing!

 

[mridula]

Yeah seriously! She calls herself a positive person and says that it’s a positive story she wanted to share with me to make sure I’m not in a bad place later.

Wow sweetheart I'm so sorry! Some people can be so insensitive!

 

[lisaalove]

I really hate people who act like they're doing you a favor by fear mongering. Don't let her get to you!

Hey following sending labour vibes!!! Good luck xx

 

[mridula]

Yes it’s best to ignore negative people. Not everyone is supportive like you beautiful ladies here

 

[mridula]

Still no signs, we had sex last night after about 3 months and I felt like a virgin again, lol! That’s the only thing we had pending until now, as I have tried all the exercises, walk, etc . So let’s see if it works

 

[Bevziibubble]

Fingers crossed it works!

You can try looking up this thing - it’s like an ankle massage but you push on pressure points in your foot. Apparently it works, lol. I did it one night and the next morning I went into labour, however with both my kids my water broke the morning after the full moon - so I always say the moon is in charge of me apparently, lol.

Look up acupressure for inducing labour

 

[Catmumof4]

Did it seem to work. I get u with the virgin thing we very rarely dtd and ouch is all I can say Lol!! X

 

[mridula]

No luck yet

Hang on in there, it really won’t be long until that baby is in your arms even though those last days feel like an eternity! Have you got any fun things to keep yourself distracted?

 

[Catmumof4]

I remember how hard it is spotting labour signs it's one the reasons of opted for a repeat section this time. Big hugs hope u get somewhere soon and can't wait to read a birth story xx

Thanks, I wish to have a story soon! Fun things? Naah, I've been exercising most of the times, sleeping for an hour or so in the afternoons, going for 1-2 hour walks in the evening.. no fun at all

Been having very itchy belly since 3-4 days and I have unknowingly scratched while asleep giving myself red rashes all over. I was using Vit E oil till now but it is not helping with the itchiness, so got some itch relief belly butter online and it seems to have settled down finally. With stretch marks all over and red rashes, my belly looks like it was in war zone with my nails lol

I feel baby has dropped a lot over few days as his hand movements are felt too low. Also, lightning crotch has worsened, I feel it for longer and more often than before. His kicks are hurting now and he hardly takes time off, he's been so active all the time!

 

[Bevziibubble]

Not long now! You must be really frustrated!

 

[mridula]

Yeah! I have no energy left for walks or exercises now
