August Mummies 2011 - 28 baby boys, 14 baby girls, and 4 beautiful angels so far xxx

[krockwell]

been having a lot of pressure and uncomfortable hip/pelvic pains the last 2 or so days... hoping my body's attempting to get into labor mode!

Nothing consistent as far as contractions though. lots of BH, and a few pains that do hurt, but not too bad Hoping I can wait at least one more week so OH will be home from work!

i was told this today by the lovely mervsmum "oxytocin (what brings on labour) levels naturally drop as the sun comes up. It's why women have stop start labours and it's almost always at night and stops at day break"

so this seems to be why the cramps/contractions seem to start up at night, best thing u can do and im trying to do is just let my body relax and not worry about labour and it should start lol

Will it work if i lock myself away in a dark room......

Oooooooo I'm 99% certain my waters have just gone Just getting myself together then going to the hospital to get checked. No pain though but the pressure down below has gone.

I'll update when i can and good luck anyone else who is gaining momentom today x

 

[CharlieKeys]

Good luck e&c!!!!

Afm - STILL pregnant

 

[xLisax]

Good Luck ea&c!

Day 2 of being overdue and nothing...

Charliekeys, was your first little boy late? My little man was born at 40+1 so I thought this little lady would be on time too! I was wrong!

xx

 

[CharlieKeys]

nooo he made his appearance at 39+3 so I was assuming this one would be early too!! Looks like we were both wrong

You been getting any signs she's close to coming?

 

[xLisax]

I'm so fed up, I really didnt think Id make it this far!!

Nope, got absolutely nothing going on! I've got crampy period like pains on and off, pressure down there but nothing to say labour is imminent iykwim? Just normally end of pregnancy niggles!! How about you?

xx

 

[CharlieKeys]

Urm same really - stupid cramps, cant walk cause I feel like I'm chopping his head off - though for 3 days I've been losing my plug everytime I go wee so that's gotta be something!!

Have you got an induction date just incase? It's hard keeping busy all the time and trying not to think WHEN'S It MY TURN hehe!!

 

[xLisax]

Thats exactly how I feel! & every little twinge is like 'Oooo is this it' and then nothing!

I've got a sweep booked for Tuesday and she'll give me my induction date then! Apparently they'll let me go 12 days over! You got anything booked?

x

 

[mothercabbage]

ooooo goodluck eandc

:wave: to all august mommas!...low pressure, feel like my pelvic bone is being stretched out the way from inside, low back ache and lots of BH..but all the same as the last week or so ....hope we get more babies today....12 days until my sweep

last night when i went to bed i felt really weird so i didnt want to sleep lol i kept needing to go for a wee every minute so just incase my waters went i put down maternity sheets! lol

no way am i letting that mattress get ruined...but nothing happened lol

 

[mothercabbage]

never mind waters going im close to pee-ing the bed every 5 mins! xx

 

[moomin_troll]

with zane my bladder control was great but this time if i need to sneeze i have to cross my legs hahaha i feel like my mum!
the wonders and joys of pregnancy lol

Inductions booked for the 17th which seems ages away but my midwife won't give me a sweep as she thinks they're "useless" even though I would like one! Lol

Just hoping we pop before it gets that far hey??

 

[mothercabbage]

sweeps are not useless!!...i had one with both previous pregnancies..labour started more of less straight away...into hospital that night with both 's and had them the next day....id change MW...just to get a sweep! xx

 

[moomin_troll]

im being left to it, i wont be having a sweep as they dont really do anything if ur body isnt ready. ive not been given an induction date because i wont let them induce me unless corey really needs to come out. they are going to try and talk me into induction if i got past the 20th tho....they can try hahaha

so im just going to sit here pregnant for aslong as it takes lol

 

[sunshinegirl]

Me too, I am soo fed up of weeing all the time.

Moomin I too felt weird last nt, so thought it was it. This morning nothing.

Good luck e&c hope things progress quickly now

See like you've just proven they can work lol!!! I might call up the hospital and be like just fricking give me one!! but it's 10 days after DD normally isn't it???

Moomin - are you not worried about how big he's gonna be if you go over the 42 weeks??

 

[moomin_troll]

i was 5lbs and almost killed my mum so babies weight doesnt bother me much. long as his heads not too big i dont mind lol
id rather go naturaly then being strapped to a bed and forced to go into labour
