You'll get there FJ! X

Ohhh I love thai food AND Thailand! I was there for 10 weeks last January No I haven't been using ball :-/ maybe 15 mins every 3rd day...need to sort that out. I think cos his head had been down the whole time I haven't felt ive 'needed' to...but its about not going over 40weeks for me now so ill try anything!

 

[A1983]

Ps how much do you tend to lose when the mucous plug has been coming away-as in ive had teeny bits of it on tp after wees this last week-as in size of little nail or less! But I Google images of mp and it can be HUGE! Ha

 

[Dollybird]

Mine are sometimes just little bits, and sometimes big massive bits.
That's me been on the ball for a good 45mins already this morning. My back is really killing today as is pelvis... He needs to come out soon! Lol
Aw fj hope your wee one comes out soon for you.xxx

 

[ladykara]

Yay dolly that's great news !!!

I found grinding back and forth and in circles on the ball worked for me better than just bouncing, you have to get the pressure just right, I went into labour 2 hours after I did it that way rather than just bouncing, I could feel it on my cervix.

I lost a very small amount of plug, lost the rest of my plug ( the bloody show as they say) after a sweep...

TJ is now 8lbs 7 ( birth weight was 8lbs2 and they have now given me the all clear from the hospital) I just have to return back as he needs a scan and to see a consultant about his foreskin x

 

[LVnMommy]

Maddix is now 6lbs 7 ounces!!! That's the size of a reg.newborn!!! And is one month yesterday he has super bad reflux so that's very difficult to deal with, makes me poor baby super cranky (and a puker!! Lol) but of that's all he go out of his prematurity ill take it!!

 

[BeautifulD]

Ahhhh dolly thats brilliant news!! And happy anniversary

Mmm so am I the only breechy left now? lol. C section tuesday! Had my pre op bloods done yesterday eeeeeekkkkkk

 

[merristems]

Morning! Im bloody shattered and feet are fattiees again quick question, do any of you ever get sharp pains on cervix? I had a couple yesterday which gave me a fright. My baby has got heavy and my pelvis is achy from the weight, i cant tell if skippy is still head down but theres all sorts of hard lumpy bits going on in there!
Hope youre all ok happy anniversary dolly, well done Maddix on your growth, not long BD! Xxxx

 

[Dollybird]

Oh lk thanks for the tip! Had a go at that last night - it's actually helped with the pain I've been having so pretty good!
Glad to hear the babies are all putting on weight nicely!
Oh bd it must be so xciting!! Knowing that by Wednesday you'll have your wee baby in your arms!
Merri I get those pains. Sometimes they are so sharp the stop me in my tracks.. Even squealing out in occasion! Think its when baby presses on a nerve!
Afm I've been super emotional. Went to cinema yesterday to see world war z and was so sore after it I could barely walk to car. Feeling mega sorry for mysf and I have to admit I pretty much cried all evening. Poor hubby. I feel a bit more upbeat today but still kinda on the verge of bawling my eyes out. It's like the first tri all over! Just gonna have a quiet day today with hubby doing some washing and chilling out watching tv.
Hope everyone's well!

bah, I had a whole thing typed! stupid phone. I'll do a short version now I guess.


fj, ugh. sounds like it's super rough. I'm having a hard time now and worried about how much worse it can get or I can take over the coming weeks. I'm sure it will be soon forgotten we have our wriggling babies.

good work on fattening those babies up ladies!

bd, just a few more days.eek.

afm. we dtd, I did birthing ball, tea, epo, and not feelin a thing indicating I'm getting ready for labor. his head is still over to the side, he's just chilling. not that I want him out now since I'm not quite full term, but I'd feel better if it seemed like he was getting ready. I'll have to try the circle thing on the ball today.

 

[A1983]

Ohhhh its called lightening crotch apparently-sharp pains in the cervix-ive just had a few in Sainsbury and was pulling silly faces to get me through the pain! Anyone else struggling now with things like shopping-its gonna have to be online from now on, im walking ridiculously slowly and im just so uncomfortable-huge heavy and exhausted. And yep Dolly I cried this morning feeling sorry for myself after finding it so difficult to turn over in bed!

 

[flapjack10]

Hi girls!

Shaving down there - I've given up! Too scared to go in blind!

Dolly - I lost loads of plug this time last week. Every day it's been just a bit extra discharge, but no more plug. Siiiigh! Glad about the mole/skin tag. Sounds like things are happening for you!

I had cramps last week, but they've died off now. Sometimes my belly goes really tight. Got leg cramp in bed last night - Ahhhh the pain! I just feel like my little one is so comfy in there - they are in no rush whatsoever!

RLT - is really making me gag and I'm on the ball as much as possible. EPO - I'm stuffing one 1000mg up my foof at night.

LK - awww glad TJ is gaining well!

Merri - your bursting out your bra! Yup I get sharp pains too. Get my hopes up, then they go...

Lvn - Maddix is doing so well!

BD - poor breechy bum! Not long for you now

I've been such a hormonal wreck this week. Feeling so very sorry for myself and like this baby is not coming anytime soon. I just wanna meet it! Had enough!

Last night, I woke up with the leg cramp and then had a tantrum because had no labour cramps. I feel like every night is Christmas Eve and Christmas Day never comes... Nlarhh blrrrrgh! Such a grump

Love to you ladies! We will get through this and have our wriggly, scrunch faced bundled if joy in our arms soon!

[BeautifulD]

Oh ladies I feel your pain.... I'm feeling so fed up too. We're so close now, all this will be a distant memory xxx

 

[BeautifulD]

Oh and I get lighting crotch too!

 

[Dollybird]

Aw I'm glad to know I'm not the only one feeling this way.. Although im sorry to hear you ladies are struggling too. Not long now though I guess! I could barely walk up the stairs tonight- it's agony.. That horrible splitting sensation. In bed now watching modern family trying to cheer myself up! How am I gonna go 3 more weeks.. Potentially 5 if I go overdue!! Argh!! Xxx

 

[merristems]

Oh dolly ouch i am thinking you wont be that long anyway so hang on in there these last weeks are by far the worst ive had so far, the heat isn' t helping and im feeling majorly grumpy and tired.

I think skippy has wedged his her head right into my groin im getting stich like pain there and feels very hard im scared im squashing her him! It cant be comfy! Thanks for the heads up on lightening crotch id forgotten all about that!

Come on cheeky face we are all cheering you on xxxx

 

[flapjack10]

We're in July! Whoop whoop! We've made it!

The texts saying 'any cramps yet?', 'any movements', 'any signs?' Are VERY annoying! I'm just ignoring such correspondence!

BD - only one more sleep eeeep!

I had mild period like pains last night - hoping this is the start of something!

 

[merristems]

Oh i hope so fj fx xxx

 

[flapjack10]

They've gone now, but I'm going to go on a long walk and attach myself to my ball today.

How you doin', Merri? Head in groin is good!

Xxx

 

[merristems]

Generally ok but largely tiered, grumpy, impatient! I still have ages to go and they are saying a heat wave is on the way head in groin hurts! Im feeling disorganised and flappy!
