Yayyy looks like were starting to pop!

Still only 3/5s engaged, no change since last Monday - sweep booked for next Monday!

I had an epi and it had worn out by the time pushing had started - they didnt top it up as they thought they wouldnt need to but I was pushing for wayyy longer than expected so think that may have something to do with it. The ring of fire really really really isnt that bad, it sounds worse than it is, your so focused on that it's nearly all over you dont care!

Hope all goes well today smeej and hope you got plenty of sleep.

Gem your baby will prob come on my due date. Bet your so excited.

Choco my OH is the same, he is really excited but has told me to hurry up so he can have some time off work.

Caro hope the sweep sets things off, I have mine on thurs.

Well I thought it was happening for me last nite, couldn't get to sleep so got up at 12 and had some cereal but I was feeing so sick, I had diarrhoea twice and period pains and just fell really unwell, I had a bath but still felt so sick. Anyway fell asleep and nothings happened
Does anyone else keep feeling really sick?

morning ladies - change of plan for me woke up and one of my lovely puss cats was having trouble weeing (which is really serious for neutered toms) so I had to cancel my MW appointment and rush him to the vets now I have to make sure he wee's today or I have to take him back tonight

really don't need this my OH is away, and it's just more stress

 

[CottlestonPie]

Caro.. Happy due day! Hope the sweep starts something off for you

Jen, I hope the EPO works as well for you as it did for me. Didn't bring on labour but I'm convinced it made it a lot shorter so fingers crossed!

Jill... Thinking of you today. GOOD LUCK!!! xx

 

[CottlestonPie]

gertrude... Hope he's ok x

 

[caro103]

hope your kitty's ok gertrude xx

 

[lilgemsy]

Smeej! Good luck today sweetie Hope it all goes really well! Excited for you haha x

Helen - Good luck There should be 2 Ollies by the end of the week haha!

Cami - hes simply beautiful aww x

Gertrude - big hugs hun. Hope the kitty is ok x

Ahh had pains aaall night then got a little bit of sleep and when I woke up the pains where just gone! xD Typical haha.
I dont really mind though because I know Ill have Ollie by the end of the week
Just a little concerned though since baby's movements seem to have slowed riiiiiight down since the sweep... is this normal?
Also I keep bleeding when I pee now.
Dont know if I should phone MW or what?

 

[gertrude]

give her a call gem better to be sure it's nothing rather than something!

kitty is being cute and much happier now but hasn't wee'd yet - waiting for a cat to do something could mean I'm waiting for eternity - they're not known for their co-operation

I keep getting really sharp pains through my cervix (I think it's that anyway) and a foot sticking out the top! seriously - why both at the same time! It's not comfy!

 

[lilgemsy]

Ill phone in a little while then probably

Hmm Gertrude couldnt you like do something to try and make kitty pee? Like tickle it or something.... I dont know Ive never had a kitten so I dont know how they work lol.
And now I just sound crazy xD But yeah, I hope it pees soon for you!

And hope your pains lead somewhere!

My bum feels weird.

 

[caro103]

well sweep all done! midwife didn't hold out much hope of it working though , she could only reach the outer part which was soft and 1cm dilated. The inner part she couldn't reach though and said his head is still a bit high . Ah well!

Gem...your bum feels weird!?! hmmm, maybe baby dropping

Gertrude, hope your cat hasn't got as strong a bladder as mine or i'm afraid your in for a long long wait hun! mine can literally not move all day and still not really seem to need a wee! xxx

 

[chocojen]

Hope it works Caro xxxxxxx

 

[Tasha360]

Gertrude hope your kittys ok.
Gem your posts always make me laugh, thanks i need cheering up after another sleepless night lol.
Caro hope the sweep works.

[Emmy'sMommy]

Caro- Hope the sweep works and your lo makes an appearance soon!

Hugs to anyone else who may need it today!

 

[bernina]

Gertrude, hope your kitten goes wee for you soon and is on the mend!

Has anyone been eating popcorn whilst pregnant? I'm probably worrying for no reason but i just ate 3/4 bag of microwave butter popcorn as really fancied some then stupidly checked google to see if pregnant ladies should eat it and apparently we shouldnt as it could cause breathing problems with the baby?

Hmm should i be worried or not? Why did i even check google as it tasted so good and could have finished the rest of the bag but instead i put it in the bin.

 

[MissFox]

gertrude- hope your kitty pees!
Tasha- sorry to hear about another sleepless night
Caro- hope the sweep at least helps you progress more

Had more BH last night when I got up to pee 5x and woke up to back cramps this morning- maybe a sweep willget things going today? I also lost a bit more plug. Still no blood on it yet though. I've gotta go eat now
