Congrats Ginger & Kimboowee.

So it's D Day. Why, oh why, do I feel disappointed to still be preggo?! I know deep down that most first babies arrive late & at some point in the 41st week so I shouldn't be surprised that I'm still here but I just wanna meet bubs soooooo much! Had some really bad BH yesterday after cleaning for about 6 hours (nesting! lol) so was kinda hopeful that something might kick in during the night but instead they've totally disappeared

I am also thoroughly sick of people asking me if I've gone into labour yet. Had about 10 texts yesterday from friends all asking the same & my mum rang me TWICE! Aaahhhh! I know people are just excited but I'm trying everything & could do without the added pressure! x

Morning ladies

Congrats to all the new mummy's!

We're having terrible internet trouble so haven't been able to keep up with you all. But wanted to update that i'm STILL pregnant , after a couple of days of total emotional breakdown i'm feeling suprisingly optimistic again this morning. Had a v uncomfortable night but all has died down now its morning, as per normal pattern it would seem, but off to the midwife again for my 3rd sweep this morning and no doubt to have an induction date booked if this little guy doesn't decide to come in the next few days. So wanted to avoid induction and still hoping I will but at the same time I need an end in sight!

Hope you all have fabbo days and will try and update if anything happens but depends how long internet holds out! apparently we need a new router, which should come 2mo or thurs...fab timing xx

Conrats to all the new mummy's. So many babies coming at once. I'm loving the baby pics.

I'm a bit fed up that my boy hasn't arrived yet. He must be a lazy one as he has been in the same position since 20 weeks and hasn't moved positions, he always kicks on the same side.

My mums coming to pick me up and take me for a coffee and cake as I'm fed up. Mum will cheer me up.

Good luck today loopy.

Hayley it must be nice to be given an induction date, at least you know he will be here by that date. I will be given my induction date on Thursday

Congrats Sam! x

Ugh Ollie is starting to stress me out a bit lol. I just want him home but he really just wont take to the bottle! The docs keep saying he'll get it eventually... but its taking forever!

 

[caro103]

aww gem, hope ollie takes it quick for you!

Just got back from midwife, he's still only 2/5 engaged which I think is why nothings happening properly, his head just isn't pressing down enough . Anyway pee still clear of protein etc, and bp remains high but stable so all pleased.

She did yet another sweep and this time i'm 2cm dilated everywhere, and cervix is thinning, she said its still not totally soft but managed to do a good sweep, which have to say was pretty uncomfortable this time! and shes made me bleed a little but if it works I don't care! hehe.

Induction was booked for Sunday, just incase. And although she didn't promise anything, shes kinda hoping that I might go in the next couple of days fx'ed everyone! xxx

Off out for a nice walk again this afternoon courtesy of an invite from one of the girls I met at antenatel class, so glad I did that, they've been brillient support and have a feeling will continue to be so! xx

Yeah I've noticed that on here & my SIL & friend both went to 40+3 with their first babies last year. I can cope thinking that bubs might be here by the weekend! But no longer! Hope today's sweep works for you. x

Congrats Kim, Ginger and Sam xx

 

[lilgemsy]

caro fx'd the sweep works! sunday is an odd day to be induced lol. my hospital wont induce people on the weekend!

bit tmi but i have yellow thick stuff coming outta me today. anyone else whos recently given birth having this?
im a bit reluctant to tell the nurse since theyve seen my downstairs enough lately. fed up of it.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I think I might be in labour!! It's our anniversary and my husband and I finally completed Phase Four this morning. It's only been about an hour and a half but I'm having strong BH that are starting to turn painful!!

 

[vetti1979]

im 4 days over today and have been trying everything, even relented with OH and had the past two nights!

Been taking 2000mg EPO, 3-4 cups RLT, tried clary sage & lavender in bath and on tum with a drop of baby oil, spicy food but cant go for long walks due to SPD.

Today I have a low backache, nothing too painful its more of a constant ache than pain so not sure if that is a result of with the SPD or something happening lol!. Havent had plug come away (to my knowledge anyway) or any blood as yet.

Got sweep booked for friday so really hoping bubs is at least on the way by then or i'll be looking at an induction next week which i want to avoid if possible.

Hope everyone is well!. come on u overdue bubbas! x

Sorry I haven't had time for a proper catch up. Will do when I get the laptop going.

Elizabeth is doing great, she's a natural at breastfeeding and so far hasn't put mommy in any pain in that area.

She already has her little personality and will only sleep soundly on me or DH's chest. I'm running on maybe 3 or 4 hrs sleep in the last 48 hours because of that. Hopefully I'll get some naps in today.

Sounds like we'll go home from hospital tomorrow early afternoon. Just need to finish up her birth certificate.

For those that are overdue I started labor at 40+2 and delivered at 40+3. Even though I was barely overdue I felt like I would never have her and her due date was a hard day for me, just felt like a failure. Good thing she didn't come much earlier as she's definitely not on the bigger side.
