Aww cottles he is lovely, so want to meet my little man. Still can't believe how quick your labour was.

Jeepgirl hope things happen for you before Monday. Fingers crossed.
 
cottleston he is soo cute!!
gem FX for u!!

had my cardiology appointment today they did trace of my heart and a scan of my heart and found nothing thank god thats one less thing to worry about.

hope everyone is ok.
cant wait to meet my LO.
 
quick update from me as back from hospital, bp was still up and set their alarms off a couple times, but not so bad they were overly concerned or anything. However they're worried its going to continue to rise now its started, so gotta go back Monday, check bp and pee and probably have a sweep, though they did mutter induction :S.

However both my mum and midwife think induction is OTT at the moment so my mums going to check bp and pee on Sunday and if all normal I'll ring the hospital mon morning and tell them all was ok sunday so am happy to just wait and see my normal midwife on tues who will prob do a sweep then! even if i end up in hospital on monday so long as bp isn't dangerously high my midwife has said shes happy to do the sweep tues, rather than a stranger do one :). So situation is kinda up in the air. Basic advice from everyone is have lots sex over wkend and try and get nature to do its thing! lol, hubby is willing to oblige ;)

right off for a bath as went for a long walk after hospital and don't wanna ache tomorrow! xx

ps cottles, your little man is gorgeous!! xx
 
Chocojen will keep my fingers crossed for you, I want my little man to try and hold off until next weekend just so I can finish off and me and OH can have one last baby free weekend but obviously if he comes I would still love it. I think my OH is holding onto every Friday night he can get bless him he called to say could he go for a drink I said yes on the condition it was only one as I can't be dealing with him being over the limit and then having no way of getting to the hospital. Good night girls. xxx
 
Hayley, so glad that your appointment went welll, what a huge relief.

Caro, glad that your Mom is able to do some testing for you over the weekend, hope everything stays on track and BP doesn't go any higher (and maybe even goes down a tad!) Enjoy your weekend activities with DH, I think I might do the same if he's willing (with my DH, not yours of course!) :haha:
 
CONGRATULATIONS COTTLES!!!!
Babies are coming!
Rosie got me good last night! Around 5:30 I started having major cramping and contractions every 5 minutes (there were a couple I couldn't count because cramping was SOO BAD! all around my lower belly and my back!) Around 11 they were still holding up like that. Called into the hospital and they said common in- mind you this is the day we got the LAST box out of the house and into the new house- so I get there and NOTHING. POOF! Gone! I've stayed at 1cm and gone from 50% to 60% effaced. Got home around 3AM. Good times.
Went and took a looong walk (1.5 hours) but it was mostly a hike uphill!

Hope you girls make more progress than I have been.

Great April fool's dana! I woke up this morning and walked into the bathroom and peed and shouted to my mom "MY WATER JUST BROKE!" She ran in and started freaking out- I couldn't notlaugh at that point.
 
MissFox, even though they stopped I think your body is definitely gearing up! Jump DH and see if you can't get them started again. I may even attempt a little nip stimulation this evening, somteimes I get a contraction out of that so if it's kept up mabye it will jump start something!

DH just posted on FB that we're off to the hospital and my phone has lit up with text messages. The little prankster!
 
Yea- I'm gonna take another nice warm bath tonight (seemed to get things going last night) and see if I can get my nipple stimulation on and then maybe jump DH and also finish the night off with some EPO up my lady bits.
I'm tempted to post "LOOKS LIKE SHES GONNA BE AN APRIL FOOL AFTER ALL!"
 
My husband would love you MissFox!!

Sounds like you have a very eventful (and hopefully contraction inducing) evening planned! I may have to try the warm bath, haven't had one all pregnancy I don't think.

We're safe taking warm baths right, just not to let our body temp go up too much right?
 
All day, I have felt off. I've felt nauseous and had a lot of braxton hicks, I've had painful cramping with the braxton hicks, and I've had a lot of indigestion. I can't sleep or get comfortable and I had quite a bit of comments yesterday that I looked like I dropped and I feel she is VERY low. I've also, TMI warning, had to poop quite a bit.

ALL of this is how I started with Isaiah...

It wouldn't be so horrible if she came early, would it? She's only 5 days shy of full-term.
 
CottlestonPie, you must be such a proud Mummy! He is absolutely scrumptious :flower:

Caro - So much for my prediction of no assessment unit, hey? :dohh: Hope you are doing OK, Hun.

Gem, ohhhh how are you getting on? Still contracting?

Today has been a mixed bag. Guess who flipped back on the way to the hospital? :haha: Naughty naughty little boy. Confirmed on the scan with the consultant who is now completely and utterly convinced that the little monkey will continue to do this until he is due to be born.

So weekly consultant scans to check position and a scan to check where he is in labour and delivery when I book in to have him. He is happy to do an ECV at any stage that he is breech and is very happy to support me in a breech vaginal delivery, should it be necessary and we want to. He said the only problem he can see is if he gets himself stuck transverse, in which case he would attempt an ECV there and then but if it failed it would be an immediate sunroof job because he is worried about waters breaking and a prolapsed cord.

Happy he is back where he should be but have to wait to see what other tricks he has up his sleeve in the next couple of weeks. Naughty little Pickle :blush::haha:

Aw laura, happy birthday for yesterday!
Toby's birthday is 4 days after mine... 1 day after DFs. Madness!
Didn't sleep a wink last night. Poor little man was full of gunk so I stayed up with him so DF could get some sleep. (You wouldnt think it was me who gave birth, poor guy was totally drained and asleep by 11pm... I finally got to sleep at 7am!)

Everyones doing really well today though... Oh, I'm so in love it's ridiculous. :cloud9:

And look at the hair! No wonder I had terrible heartburn :haha:

I understand that warm baths are ok- not so much Hot though but not positive on the temps. I mentioned my evening to DH and he was like "I am not a machine" lol he thought I meant all night! Always fun with our miscommunications!
Amethyst- glad to hear your LO flipped back!
 
Phew thats great news hayley

My mum has been texting all dya, its my birthday tomorrow and she went into labour on the 1st, she keeps reminding me I was still fooling her and how long she was in labour for! I think she is a little excited to be a grandmother!!
 
Amethyst...:dohh: hopefully he flips right back again!! naughty boy!

hope everyone else has good evenings :) xx
 
Glad your little man has flipped back amethyst.

Gorgeous pics rainbow.

Stupid question but is it ok to have sex if your dilated a bit? It won't cause an infection will it? Sorry if that is a really stupid question.
I'm constantly weeing, every 20 mins. Is this normal or maybe I already have an infection, every time I go it just trickles out :(

A bath with water up to 100F is fine. I never use to be much of a bath person, but I have one every night now. It's the only thing that helps my aching hips and restless legs these days. I put in lots of epsom salts and its heaven:cloud9:
 
Rainbow, Ben is gorgeous... such beautiful eyes!

What I wouldn't give to have a bath! House is still in refurb mode and the bath isn't properly secured. Showers for me until it's sorted.
 
We have those dummies Rainbow, they are the only ones the twins will take they love them.
How are you getting on Gem?

xx
