[DanaBump]

i've decided i really don't want a c-section. i'm not going to be stubborn by any means but i'd really like to bring my princess home this weekend and that won't happen if i don't deliver vaginally. oh the things you start to think about 3 days before you go in to deliver..

 

[Soulshaken]

Congrats to all the new babies and new mommies!!!

Brandi- hope this is it for you!!

I actually think I might be in early labor too! FXD that things don't slow down but it's been around 3 hours of contractions less than 10 minutes apart and they are strong but not painful yet... oh i hope they don't stop... it would be nice to have baby boy on his due date or the day after SO NERVOUS!

Good luck to the rest of you ladies, we are all so close

 

[Kimboowee]

Just a little tip - if you think you might be in early labour get on your birth balls! Both pregnancies my waters have gone on them!

And Im pretty sure sex worked aswell!

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I don't have one, but apparently lying down for an hour was the WRONG thing to do. It's been three hours and I'm still only having uncomfortable somethings every 10 minutes apart. They're strong enough to breathe through, but not strong enough to be painful. At this point with my son, I was in full-blown, 4 minutes apart labour. I think this is false and I'm going to be pregnant forever.

aww bless ya crazybird
FX brandi and soulshaken

went midwife wat a wasted journey as didnt do anything not even BP as i was seen yesterday at the hospital if i had known that i wouldnt have bother going.
quite achey in pelvis area and when i lay down get pain at the bottom of my bump it is getting harder to turn over in bed due to pain in pelvis. back spasms keep coming and going.

hope everyone is ok.

I have also just been to the midwife and feel like crying baby has been 2/5 engaged for weeks and now he is 3/5 engaged I was so certain he would be deeply engaged by now. My mum has rung as well and said oh well May baby it is - I mean seriously how does that help, I am in agony constantly with my pelvis I fed up having to get up 3 times in the night to wee etc - sorry I just feel like crying. Sorry rant over

 

[SazzleR]

Aw BabyBefore I sympathise with you! But you're doing much better than I was at 38 weeks. Bubs was only 1/5th engaged then. Your baby could drop dead quick now.

My docs just sent my reminder text about my MW appt on Thurs. How can I forget?! I've still not had my baby! Certain bubs will still hardly be engaged then either as I don't think my bump is very low. Induction here I come! x

 

[CrazyBird]

Aww sorry your having a hard time babybefore30 and hayley, its crap isn't it? But we will get there in the end. It will all be worth it when we are holding our bundles.

Jessop hopefully you won't need the sweep fingers crossed . I hated the sweep, hurt like hell but I didn't tell her to stop because I know giving birth will be 100 times worse.

Bernina sounds like you have a perfect baby, that's brilliant that she has latched on to BF and isn't causing you any pain.

Hope this is labout four you soulshaken and brandi

I'm a bit more upbeat now as have been out with my mum for lunch and bought some bits. in pain now from all the walking but hopefully that will help get bubs out.

 

[caro103]

babybefore30, sorry bubs isn't so engaged, mines only 3/5 too .

Good luck to all those that think they're in labour!

I've just had what I think might be a bloody show , could just be the left overs from the sweep as she did tell me she though i'd bleed, but this was kinda gloopey too, not just blood (sorry tmi ), also got kinda constant lower back pain and sometimes bump is tightening, oooh so hope sweep has worked today! xx

 

[SazzleR]

All sounds promising Caro! x

 

[lyndsey37]

aw congratulations to all the new mummies,

come on overduers including me lets get them out

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Well, it was all false. 4 hours of contractions 10 minutes apart all gone to crap. I definitely think she's going overdue. I should have known better. I'm only 1cm and baby is -5 station as of Thursday. Grrrr... Fingers crossed for everyone else, especially the overdue ladies!!

 

[AmethystDream]

Sorry Brandi Hun, that sucks.

Sending tightenings to all the ladies who want/need them.

Was meant to be having a bit of a clean, passed out on the bed for an hour.... oops

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I had a really great conversation with my mother in law this morning. Our baby girl was conceived via sperm donor and that makes my husband's family uncomfortable. My husband's sister's hate me, literally, so much so that his one sister says that if I show up to her daughter's wedding, she'll scratch my eyes out and beat me to an unrecognizeable state.

Anyway, I knew his family was not comfortable with the idea of our daughter not being biologically his, but his mother reassured me this morning that she will be loved and cared for as if she were related by DNA. She understands now that my husband's decision to raise her is one that was not come across easily but that he loves her all the same. She went on to tell me that I probably will have to be careful around my nieces and nephews who are the type who have so much spite that they will tell her that he's not her biological dad, but honestly, I don't care. Anberlin is going to know, biological or not, that her Daddy loves her more than anything.

Finally, and this caught me by surprise, my mother in law asked me what I still needed for her "granddaughter" and offered to take me out next week to get those last few items.

I feel so much more comfortable bringing her into the family now. I'm so happy that, at least by most members, she will be loved and accepted.

 

[babybefore30]

Thanks for all your support ladies I know I am not even overdue yet and still have a long way to go but when you are so uncomfortable it really does make you feel like crap anyway going to get on with some ironing and just enjoy the last few weeks as DH and me, I am kinda hoping that if I don't think about it it will just take me by surprise one day - will check in tomorrow have a good evening/day ladies xx

 

[caro103]

sorry everything stopped brandi! plenty of time left yet before you;re overdue though hun, the fact you've had lots of niggles is a good sign she'll come before edd!

babybefore30, don't feel bad about being uncomfortable hun, pretty sure all us 'overdue' people were moaning many weeks ago, we;ve just upped it a notch now .

update from me, getting mildish contractions about every 10-15mins, mainly feel them painwise in my back but hoping this is the start of something, know its still very early days but it has already driven me to take paracetamol which i don't take easily, so they must be hurting a bit! hehe xx

 

[PeanutBean]

Good luck caro! And all the other ladies in waiting.

Congrats to all the April babies! Everytime I see the thread the number seems to have gone up. I'm now two days more pregnant than I've been before so that's interesting! Turns out the day my son came was my edd in my head so feeling a bit impatient. Each day I do nothing and it goes fast and yet each feels like a week and I can't believe I'm only a day closer to having a baby.
