OH came home from nite shift and kept annoying me with rubbing my neck and stuff i was like GET OFF bless him i know he was only trying to show love but when ur in pain it just annoys u i will apologise to him when he wakes up bless i feel so bad . im sure he will understand.

Congratulations Soulshaken
Thanks for the pics Casey and Caro more beautiful babies!
Casey your borth story sounds perfect, I hope mine is similar but in the birthing unit instead of home. Good to hear positive stories about tens machines, got mine this week, did you test it at all before the big day?
I had curry last night but no signs of it working!

[JakesMummy]

Am I the only overdue one left?!? Argh I want her out!! Off to hospital today to get inducement date etc probably the only way she will be coming out! Congrats to all new mummies - I shall read birth stories later!

Ps how comes Jake always gets up later when it is dh morning to get up with him?! Something isn't right here!!!

 

[babybefore30]

Aww more lovely babies being born, well I think something might be happening I am not getting my hopes up to much just in case but I have been having contractions since yesterday, they seem to be coming every 15 mins and lasting about 1 min they were not painful yesterday, managed to have an okay night sleep and have woken up to them being a bit more painful today but I am not going to time them now until they start to get really sore. Going to vacum downstairs and then think me and OH are going to go out for dinner tonight (if they have not progressed significantly) just trying to be normal in case they disappear. Hopefully I am in early labour. xx

 

[SazzleR]

No Jakes, you're not the only overdue one. I'm still here! And slowly going insane. I'm so fed up it's untrue.

Gonna try another long walk today to see what that does. Probably nothing. I'll be here til Fri when I'm booked in for induction. I'll be gutted if I have to be induced as I won't get my water birth Why is it all going wrong now? x

 

[lyndsey37]

oh ladies im still here too im now 8 days over due im so so so so so fed up cant bloody believe it, im booked to be induced on wed but have another sweep tomor and tuesday pleasse send me some labour dust i so want her naturally and soon

 

[JakesMummy]

Babybefofe30- hope all is well and those contractions keep up!!

I had my appointment this morning - baby is large apparently, well no shit Sherlock , we are bothtall and my son was 8lb 9oz. We were both big babies too, over 9 lbs so no surprise! Inducement date set for 27th April (she was due 13th!).
I KNEW I'd be oneof the last few waiting!! Here's hoping to my waters breaking whilst in homebase today!

 

[JakesMummy]

Lynsey andsazzle sending LOTS of labour dust and sympathy your way!

 

[SazzleR]

I'm sending you lots of labour dust Lyndsey. It's awful for me so I can only imagine how you must be feeling. I know what you mean about induction. I really don't want it to come to that either. Hope your next sweep works.

I'm ringing MW on Mon to arrange a second sweep at home. She said I could if I was desperate by start of next week & I am! The first one did nothing. No bleeding or anything. Was so convinced it would work cos she said my cervix was already 2.5cm dilated & 50% effaced. x

 

[SazzleR]

Labour dust to you too Jakes!

Maybe it's big babies that don't like moving. MW reckons ours is 8lb+ easily. I'm starting to worry it's too big to fit through my pelvis & that's why I'm still here! x

 

[JakesMummy]

They are just too comfy in there!!

 

[lilgemsy]

Aww bless lol, labour dust for all of you needing it! And hugs too... maybe I could squeeze those babas out of you all xD haha! x

 

[JWandBump]

Hello I dont know if your still updating this but i had my little girl Emily Jane on the 8th April at 5.07pm, 8lbs.

 

[CrazyBird]

Congrats miss miffy and soul.

I love looking at all these gorgeous baby pics, wish i had mine too

Im now 9 days over due, so frustrating, my sweep oviously didn't work, been having lots of period pains at night and a few twinges in the day but thats it, oh and i'm loosing loads of my plug, surely that means something is happening?
My induction is booked for 8am on Monday so at least i only have 2 more days to wait.

Good luck to the other ladies waiting.

Hayley sorry your in so much pain, i'm sure your OH will forgive you.

I'm going to read your birth stories now casey and gem

I don't think you meant my birth story... I contracted late on set pre-e and it hit very hard. I was told I could die a few times.

hope everyone is ok.
sending labour dust to all overdue ladies.

 

[cola pops]

I'm still here and overdue too, 5 days over and counting
Been to Westfield today to try Happy Feet-its where you put your feet in a tank with a load of sucker fish and they get the dead skin off, it's also supposed to be a bit like reflexology, and can help you into labour. Don't feel any different yet though.
Congratulations to everyone holding their babies, hope the rest of us aren't too far behind x

 

[DanaBump]

if i can share anything from my labor, it's that you don't always feel the contractions you're having. by the time i was admitted from my trickling water (not always a gush), i was having very strong contractions ever 2-3 minutes and didn't feel a thing (i'm a wimp, i feel everything). so ladies, just because you don't feel anything, doesn't mean nothing is happening. just relax, put your feet up and wait. you could just be like me, making dinner one minute and off to deliver the next.

 

[chocojen]

No Casey you are right, I meant Caro, sorry pregnancy brain!

Still nothing happening here, been bouncing away on my ball and trying to stay active although energy is rapidly depleting and I am so bored of cleaning now! OH wants us to have curry again tonight but I still have heartburn from last nights one!
