Anyone else expecting a November sparkler? *Updated with due dates!*

Forums New posts
I know that I have longer to wait than most of you sparklers, but I am loving being pregnant and although i can't wait to hold my baby, I am enjoying these last few weeks of being pregnant. I don't want to rush it by. I love gazing down at my tummy moving in ripples as baby fidgets about. I love the fact that I wake up in the morning and "remember that I am pregnant" and I love walking about the house and seeing the crib, the pram and the piles of baby clothes.

I know that this is my last one. I'm treasuring these moments and when eventually baby does come along I shall enjoy that with just as much joy.

I WISH I could feel like that! I really want to enjoy it as this is our last baby too.
Being in pain and totally exhausted has just ruined that for me now :cry:
Oh well at least I enjoyed it up until about 37 weeks.

I also love your positive outlook...but I am absolutely miserable as well. Makes it really hard to enjoy this, even though it is my last too! I just don't make a good pregnant person between the sickness/aches/pains/ among a huge list of other issues. I tend to get everything x10 compared to everyone else!! But, on the up side...11 days left for me unless I go into labor sooner! :thumbup:
 
Well inorder to avoid induction I will be running and jumpping tonight and dh might even get lucky lol
 
Well, I couldn't have the sweep - URGH! Midwife said cervix was still long, it had shortened a little but not enough for her to do the sweep. She had a fumble and stretched it a bit, and said she could get 1 finger in a little but not enough to do a full sweep, (sorry if TMI) but she said what she had done would hopefully start some more frequent BH (I've had none that i've known about) that should help to thin and shorten my cervix.

Guess we'll just have to wait and see. Will have another sweep next Thursday if still pregnant. It didn't hurt at all either. I know she didn't do it properly but it was still not uncomfortable at all.

Hope everyone else is well and progressing more than me lol

Don't lose hope! My mom said she had a dr appt when she was pregnant and the dr said her cervix was long and not dilated and it's be at least another week. That night she went into labor and had my sister! So anything can happen lol :)
 
Creative, I'm like you. This is my last, and although I'm dealing with GD and mad SPD, I'm loving all the little rolls and punches and hiccups and trying to put all of it to memory. Pregnancy is such a miracle, and I've just really and truly enjoyed this time!
 
I love the way you girls look at it, I feel kinda impatient wishing the pregnancy to be over to meet little man. I will try and take a breath And enjoy the last days x
 
Hey ladies,

Had my sparkler today. She just couldn't wait for November. Faye Annabella was born at 8.41 this morning, got to hospital at 7am,i was 8cm, pushing by 8am and 40 mins later she arrived. Healed lots of wounds from my son's birth. I'm totally in love.

Hoping some of you fed up ladies go soon (teacup!) rooting for u hun. Xx
 
Congrats Lovehearts - gives me some hope, as like you I have nothing going on.

How did things start? Just to give me some more thoughts and hope lol
 
hi ladies, I guess I should update in here as well as my journal!

Creative - I love your outlook on the pregnancy. This is most likely my last so I keep trying to enjoy it but it's so hard. I'm so antsy to delivery since my DD was 4 weeks early. I'm almost 38 weeks now and still no sign of delivering! At my appt last week I was dilated to 1cm and 50% effaced so I guess there's some progress. Oh and I've been losing chunks of plug for almost a week now so hopefully that's doing something. No contractions and not even any BH anymore though. UGH! I'm trying to be patient, really, I am! I've adjusted my outlook at least to come to terms with the fact that I still have 2-3 weeks left rather than thinking of myself as almost 2 weeks "overdue"!

My 39 week appt is on 11/12 and doctor has agreed to do a sweep and then I'll have an appt at 41 weeks if he still hasn't come so an induction can be scheduled. I really, really don't want to be induced though so fingers crossed he comes on his own before 41 weeks!
 
Had a scan today and baby is measuring an estimated 6lbs. 15oz. (44th percentile), so he's a pretty good weight, considering I've had GD since 10 weeks. I'm still having lots of BH and cramping (really painful), and now we are just waiting for 11/11 for my c section!! So exciting!!
 
Congrats Lovehearts!!
So glad she surprised you and came early :happydance:
She's gorgeous. xx
Can't wait to meet the final little person in our family :cry: <3
 
It just kind of came out of nowhere, I had done a lot of squatting that evening (putting shopping away, bathing my son) and I couldn't stand straight so I guess she engaged. I had a bath and when I got out my contractions started pretty much but wernt obvious they were labour until around 2am.so it really can happen that quick. Xx

I know, it just feels like it could still be ages! Midwife said i'll be induced on/around the 15th if I don't go naturally!! :dohh:

Praying for a complete surprise, seen as I still have no symptoms :thumbup:

Hope everyone else is well xx
 
So, it's almost November 3rd and since November started, no one else has their sparkler??
