Backache is still there lol. Woke up a few times in the night with it.
I seriously hope that all these pains do lead up to something soon!
Watch though, Ill get all the symptoms and no actual action hahaha.
 
Congratulations on the recent arrivals : D can't believe it's finally our month!

I am guessing I'll go 8 days overdue and she'll weigh 8lb 7oz. I originally thought over 9 lb but unsure now!
 
morning ladies :) another trip to hospital this morning to check my BP and it's much better again :) so who knows what happened! My wee now is suggesting I have an infection but tbh I think it's because my wee was too concentrated - when I arrived I asked did they need a sample cos I needed a wee and they were all "no no not at all, not today" so I asked again then went for a wee - then low and behold, they did - FFS! so I literally had to squeeze it out :haha:

anyway everything fine

then I mentioned that yesterday baby was moving very differently to normal so they monitored me for a bit and everything seemed fine :) so I'm happy today :)

countered by my dad being quite confused today (he has alzheimers) - my OH is with him as we're replacing his bathroom but he said this morning my dad was totally confused last night :( I want to cry but tbh I'm scared I won't stop cos I'm on my own :(
 
still no water, just went to sainsburys just so I could use their loo!!!

Glad that LO is doing well and the appointment was fine, despite the piddle fiasco!

So sorry to hear about your Dad, my Mum had dementia so I know what you are going though. Anytime you need a shoulder, I'm here :hugs:
 
thanks love - it's just so shit :( he's only 64 and he's really quite poorly :( he's ok as long as NOTHING changes to his day but the second it does he just doesn't know where he is etc

I can't be there (given he lives 120miles away) so my lovely OH has gone to just be there whilst the bathroom is being done - he was due back today but he says dad just isn't well enough to be on his own based on last night - he will get adjusted to the upheaval it just takes time :(
 
I know exactly what you mean and just how hard it is. Your OH is lovely taking time to look out for him, I was lucky in that respect too.

As you say, a little time to settle and he will be back on an even keel, just hurts in the meantime not being able to be there :hugs:
 
April is here! whoop whoop! 7 days til this little bundle is due but VERY much hoping she joins us anytime soon.

Had some loose bowels (sorry TMI!) for the last two days and a white, watery discharge but no 'show' yet or any sign of waters going ( can labour start without a show?!) :( . Have had mild backache the last couple of evenings which hasnt developed into anything more. Really hoping i dont go overdue - my poor tummy cant take much more stretching!! c'mon baby!

Hope everyone is well!
 
:hugs: gertrude - my nan has dementia and scitzophrenia so I can sympathise with you, hope you're ok?

Vetti - in my last labour I didn't have a show until I was well into established labour... It came out in the birthing pool and my OH nearly passed out bless him! :sick: :rofl:
 
So I sent a text message from my husband's phone this morning telling my mom that I had the baby last night, at 3:37am, weighing 6lbs 1oz and 18.5in long. She friggin panicked and frantically tried to call my husband's phone to which "he" didn't answer. So she called my phone and she goes "Why didn't you call me?! I wanted to - wait, it's April Fools isn't it?"

lmao!! That's the great thing about being due in April.

Awww you're so mean! My mum would actually kill me if I was to do that!!!

I did however send a text this morning saying that i'd given birth to a perfectly formed poo! :rofl: people still asked if I'd had her!!? :nope:

I've had 4 texts today - any twinges... Noooooo and I wouldn't tell u even if I had :dohh:
 
gertrude :hugs: glad all went ok with ur appt though! we seem to have switched places :S

just got back from Dr's but only temporarily! my bp's gone up to 155-160/90 which is a fair bit higher than my normal. That along with slight swelling and the nose bleeds she wants me to go to the day assessment unit this afternoon for monitoring, so I'm booked in for 3pm :dohh:, it was all going so well! might still be nothing though, so we'll see! no protein in my wee just some white blood cells but she wasn't concerned i'd got an infection or anything so thats good!

moomoo, not sure what people expect us to say, lol!
 
....is still very disappointed in the pictures! c'mon ppl, i'm dyin here!!!

i'm guessing she'll be here on the 15th (i know, i cheat) and she'll be 7lbs 12, 21 inches long. DH seems to think she'll be 7lb 6 oz.

2 weeks from today!!!!

oh no! that's rubbish! I had a few nosebleeds but my MW said it probably wasn't related so not to worry unless they keep happening which they haven't :)

good luck this afternoon xx
 
oh ladies im so so so so excited meet my longed for little princess - cant believe she will be in my arms this month arghhhh its so surreal - good luck ladies and im sending you all labour dust get pushing :hugs:
 
ok so for those of you on my facebook, it is an april fool but you need to shut your damn mouths! :rofl:
 
YAY...ITS APRIL!!!!! Finally!! lol

My guess is little one will be here April 12 (im cheating too Dana..LOL) and she will weigh 7lbs 4oz and 21 inches long! :) (My dd was born at 37+3 and was 7lbs 1oz 20 1/4 in long)
 
It looks like something could actually be happening for me today! :D
Not to get my hopes up yet though... but... IM HAVING CONTRACTIONS!
Haha. Been up and put on the monitor cos LO not moved much yesterday / today and the pains werent going away. Still arent going away, actually. Turns out they are indeed contractions.
BUT.
Theyre only little ones so might not turn into full blown labour and could stop :/
So been sent back home to wait basically and just see what happens.
Theyve said though if I do go into full blown labour today then theyre certainly not going to stop it :)
COME ON OLLIE, COME ON OUT! :D
Dont be playing an April Fools on Mummy!
