Just had my 40 week MW appt and I now feel utterly deflated..... she tried to do a sweep and said my cervix is forward and 50% effaced but closed and firm, she was not able to stretch it at all. It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO uncomfortable I was actually wincing which is not like me, I thought it was gonna be a bit like a smear test! When she finished there was quite a lot of blood on her glove and she said that it was a good amount of show, since then I have continued to have some blood loss but it is not particularly mucousy (sorry TMI). She has booked in to see me again next tues for a repeat of today if nothing has happened and she didnt sound like she thought it was going too...............grrrrrrr fed up!

Oh Jen, dont worry hun. LO will only come when ready and when they do come theyre well worth the wait -hugs-
It wont be much longer surely x

And yeah, Ollie is STILL in hospital. They told me on Sunday he could go home yesterday. Went in yesterday and they told me he can go home today instead... then later yesterday night they decided he wont be going home till at least Thursday.
Watch me go in today and theyll change it to a later date yet again :/
Apparently they have to teach me to resussatate and whatnot before hes allowed to go anywhere. Fricking get teaching me then because I want my baby boy home!!!

Sorry for the rant lol xD

Edit: Oh yeah... Heres my last bump pic and my post preggo belly! Took the post preggo one last week 1 week after birth!

i agree with all the other ladies. i never even lost my plug, just had my water break one night while making dinner.

i did have the poops for a couple days beforehand tho along with the period like cramping so sounds like it's all starting!

 

[JakesMummy]

I woke up with a mild period pain that came and went every 30-45 minutes. By 2pm I was in full blown labour and u then realize what a contraction feels like! I lost the plug around 9cm ?! I went to the toilet and it all came away. Water broke soon after. So no signs apart from period pain.

God gem I hate you your tum is thinner than my leg

 

[Emmy'sMommy]

Wow Gem..You look great!! I wished i had bounced back that fast!!

 

[chocojen]

Thnaks ladies, can always count on you to put things in perspective. I have lost more brown discharge (?plug) towday. Not really had anymore pain though. Been for another 2 mile walk now on my bouncy ball! Fed up of all the texts asking if he is here!!

Very impressive gem I thought my belly had gone down loads but its not cometely flat. You wouldn't have thought you were pregnant a few weeks ago. Hope Ollie will come home soon.

Choco sorry you feel deflated after the sweep, that's how I felt after my first sweep. Your little man will be here soon. The wait is horrible though but it will be worth it. It just feels so strange having a baby in our house. I don't have time to straighten my hair anymore and the day goes so fast.

Gem I offically hate you! lol Your stomach makes me even more depressed about my jelly belly. Cried this morning whilst trying to find something to wear I look hideous in everything. Daren't even step on the scales. x

 

[lilgemsy]

Lol, sorry
Itll go down though Sazzler!
I think mines only gone down so quick because I walk to and from the hospital a couple of times a day and Ive been missing meals so not very healthy really!
