Dammit... Thought id got away with it but just got my first MIL text... She works from home and has asked if it's safe for her to start working or if Toby will be coming any time soon.
Not sure how to say "go ahead coz you're not coming to the hospital" in a polite way. I've already made it clear that I only want DF and possibly my mum there but the things she's saying make it sound like she's gonna jump in the car the second I go into labour. Grr.
 
We've told all our relatives they won't know when labour starts, they'll just know when baby is here

we had some "you're spoiling my enjoyment" comments but quite frankly they can fuck off - this is my body and my labour and if I don't want people knowing then that's my choice - not about them

thankfully my OH agrees - he didn't at first but when he thought about it actually changed his mind :) this is our family and our time together :) I don't need that spoiling because of other people nagging/hassling :)

I know it's not for everyone but I really do recommend setting your own ground rules now - you're going to have lots of battles along the way so set your stall now :)
 
I'm lucky I guess that most of deans family keep themselves to themselves and my family are ok! I won't be telling anyone except you ladies haha and my mum, dad and sister.
Having serious Braxton hicks the strongest ones yet. Had 5 in past hour so going to have a shower and see if they progress, feels a little similar to early labour but I'll highly doubt it!!!! I went through this before, my body tricking me!
 
my family are fine but I have to keep my in-laws in check :D my OH thinks like me though so that's good - he deals with them so they can't create a fuss :D

you're so lucky with feeling something! I just have a foot in my ribs and an occasional wriggle around and then back to sleep! no pains/bh/anything

*sulks*
 
Morning!
The only people I'm telling I'm in labour are a few close friends but the in-laws will know as soons as I've given birth. In some ways it's quite nice we live 4 hours away so we get plenty of privacy and 'us' time!
Hmm, it might be worth me getting up off my ass and getting my hair cut today, prehaps getting out and doing something other than very slow housework will stop me being so impatient! :)
 
That sounds like a great day caro enjoy!
Abz I didnt enjoy having my hair done as much as normal as was really uncomfortable having it washed but it feels good to have had it done and at least I wont look too bad after the baby is here!
 
Im only telling my parents and my cousin when I go into labour and maybe pop onto here if I remember lol. Other than that I dont want anyone else near me besides MWs etc obviously!

Ohhhh Reeds! I hope everything is going well for you and baby! Excited for you! :D xxx

Hope everyone has a nice day :) x

I'm with you Gertrude! I've felt nothing. Humph! Getting majorly impatient now. If the MW tells me on Thurs that bubs is still not engaged, I fear I might have a full on tantrum!

We've decided to tell both sets of parents, both siblings & my best friend when we leave for the hospital but not before. I want my parents & sister to be first visitors and they live an hour away so DH's family will just have to stay away until then! Tough! His patents got to visit SIL before anyone else so they have to expect the same.

Been for my bikini wax this morning & got my eyelashes tinted so don't need to worry about make up for a while! Getting my hair done tomorrow so will be all ready for the pics with bubs! So hurry up & make a move baby R! Although maybe not until tomorrow night when mummy is back home! Just at my parents for a couple of nights & don't fancy a motorway dash with contractions! x
 
This might sound weird but does anyone else feel like your baby is like... in your vagina? haha.
I cant explain it properly but I feel like he's just RIGHT THERE. Its really uncomfortable!
Making me walk weird lmao. :blush:
 
baby has the hiccups and since she's face down, i'm feeling them in my bumm :rofl:
 
gem - sounds like baby is engaged mate! not long for you now I reckon!

as for mine, well, they're not just not engaged, they're seemingly too comfy to make the slightest effort at leaving. I know I've always said they'll be late but I now suspect they'll take until next year *harumpfh*
 
How do you find out if theyre engaged or not though instead of just guessing?

On the scan yesterday they couldnt get a proper view of his face because he was too far down lol. So kinda hoping that mixed with this weird feeling is him engaged! :D

Lol Gertrude, watch your LO engage and pop out when you least expect it xD
 
gem - if they couldn't see the face because they were low AND you feel like he's in your vagina/very low then I can't think what else it would be :D

they (MW's) should be able to feel if they're engaged or not but they may miss it (or it happened since you last were examined).

How exciting!!!!

As for me, yeah my OH thinks that too, that I'll wake up at 4am one day and think "shit this is it" and it all be over in that day. I think he's hoping too much for an easy life :D

My mum doesn't remember any braxton hicks, or anything really leading up to her labours so maybe I'll be the same :)
 
Sounds like Ollie is definitely engaged Gem. And also the feeling you have of his head between your legs is exactly how a good friend described the end of her pregnancy, so I think it's a very promising sign!!
 
Oh bums... Got carried away on the babies r us website. The mattress I wanted was half price so I ordered it, just tried it for size and it doesn't fit. Argh! Now I have to have it collected, returned and my money refunded so I can pay for the correct size... At full price. Doh!
 
Went to see the doctor this morning and they have scheduled my c-section for April 12th at noon (have to be there at 10am for monitoring) so YAY!!!! My baby girl will be here soon!:cloud9::yipee::cloud9::yipee:
 
Reeds text me this morning:
Gunner arrived this morning at 8:41am!
He is 8lbs 4oz and 21 inches long!
Mommy and Baby are doing GREAT!​

Does that mean it feels like there is pressure on your vagina?? Because i've been feeling that for a while but my midwife said that Josie is NOT engaged, but she is low in my pelvis. I'm not even sure if I know what the difference between the baby "dropping" and being "engaged" is.

This whole build up to labor is a mystery to me. I'm not even sure i'll know what a real contraction is until i'm at the pushing phase!!! :dohh::haha:
