Cf cf come on baby dont be shy we want to hear all about you!

 

[Dollybird]

Any update fj?? Xxx

 

[flapjack10]

Nothing is happening! Tiny bit more mucus plug with blood, but nada xxx

 

[A1983]

How about dtd and epo tonight fj-both semen and epo up there?! Worked for my friend at your stage xx

I dtd yesterday (getting a little less painful but far from pain free still!) and lay there afterwards on my back with a pillow like when I was ttc-felt very weird doing that with a big bump :-D

 

[flapjack10]

Hehe TTC memories! Yeah DTD isn't the most pleasant thing for me at the moment.

I've taken EPO and might stick on up there later on too.

Come on baby! Still losing bits of plug.

Yeah i agree maybe try the epo internally FJ - I tried epo up there last night - I squeezed the oil out and tried to rub on cervix but couldn't reach anything with my big belly lol but I woke up 3 times in the night with pressure and period type pain under my bump, even had to get up walk and get a glass of water one time...then I've had nothing since waking seems epo increased bh or something but better than nothing at all! I have my sweep tomorrow not looking forward to that come on babies!!

 

[flapjack10]

Come on babies! The sweep isn't too bad, it hurts, but short term discomfort for long term gain - hopefully!

Had a bit more plug come away...

Good luck at sweep JFG!

ok I've been taking epo, I might have to try one internally tonight. I literally can barely walk cause when I do it feels like his head is grinding on a nerve. he moves off of it a bit if I bounce on my ball or do stretches on all fours, but settles right back on the sore spot a few minutes after I quit.

are you ladies worried about how you'll hold up physically during labor? I haven't been too worried about the pain, but it's such a struggle for me to change positions and I'm out of breath and need to rest after any little effort. I'm worried how I'll hold up physically during labor. man I wish I'd gotten in better shape before I got prego.

hope we see more symptoms and get some babies soon this week!

 

[flapjack10]

Good luck with EPO, Jess!

I'm worried about getting tired. So I keep having little naps just in case, but then I worry by having naps that I'm putting off labour! You're damned if you do, damned if you don't!

Anyway, all our labours will be really quick and easy

[Dollybird]

Argh we need some more babies to start making appearances! Lol. Im havjng to content myself by scouring 4od for any episodes of obem I might have not seen yet. Lol.. But it just makes me worse! I want my baba now! Haha. And failing that I want one of you to have your babas so I can read your birth stories!! C'mon babies we're waiting!.....

Xxx

 

[flapjack10]

I know what you mean, Dolly! I had to give the OBEM a rest because I was getting too jealous! xxx

 

[A1983]

I definitely get so tired after short bursts-like walking up the stairs! And if I've been out and about for an hour im done for the day! I was actually thinking whilst my legs ache so much during walking I should have done something to make me more fit for labour :-/ I wish I could scour through obem to find episodes I may have missed but I know I've watched every one!

It's too hot to sit outside today-I feel like I'm wssting the day indoors though? But im too heavy and tire easily to do anything anyway! Currently reading on my bed and keep falling asleep! Pure laziness-just getting up to eat ha ha! Have done some bouncing and had my rlt and epo-ill start an epo up the foo tonight. Poke a hole in capsule or not? I've read mixed-ill try not tonight and see what emerges tomorrow morning ;-)

 

[JFG]

Thanks FJ I'm nervous but if it works it will be worth it!

Oh gosh I haven't even thought about physical side of labour all I've been worrying about is the pain and how bad its going to be and I've been keeping myself so busy to keep my mind off waiting ill be worn out before it starts, I must start resting more!! I have been walking and swimming every week but not sure its kept me fit because I don't go for long and walk/swim at a snail pace lol!! I plan on using ball, bed, pool and hubby to lean on/hold me up so I don't get too tired also I am going to have to stay upright or on all fours due to baby being back to back so no lying back on the bed for me, thats if this baby ever comes out of course!!

 

[mackjess]

JFG I wish I had kept up on all the exercise. Good for you! I think you'll do great, and hopefully LO turns and doesn't stay back to back!

I am SO TIRED of this runny bum. Youch ouch ouch! I'm about to get desperate and bust into the baby wipes.

 

[JFG]

Thanks mackjess I hope ur right ill do my best anyway fx its quick as my neice was back to back and my sister in law was in labour for 3 days as she wasn't dilating past 3cm hope that's not the case for me!

Ahh poor u get the wipes open and the sudocream if u have any! Maybe its ur body clearing out ready for labour!

 

[mackjess]

I made an appt wednesday for an hour long foot massage/reflexology. Super excited about it whether it brings on labor or not!

 

[flapjack10]

A1983 - I know what you mean about feeling like you're wasting the day. But when you gotta nap, you gotta nap! I just stuff the EPO up there I don't poke the hole.

JFG - back to back babies can still turn last minute! Fx for you hun!

Exercise is easier said than done!

MJ - massage sounds like a fab idea! I'm well jel!

41 weeks for me here's a pic of my bump taking over the world!

[merristems]

You look great FJ, tidy bump!
MJ i hope your tummy sorts itsself out yukky feeling ill when preggerz.
Jfg i hope sweep goes well for you and isnt too sore.
Dolly im with you on the napping i love my siestas!
A1983 good luck with the epo i hope it works for you.

Afm nothing to report, im hot and tiered still eating for England! I was fed up yesterday so hubby took me on a trip to Lyme regis in the evening to paddle in the sea it was sooo refreshing and cool. My feet arecsore and swollen though which sucks, seeing mw today but im sure its just the heat nothibg untoward. Spd is bad again as is leg twitching at night agggh! Im also worried about my stamina during labour, i was fit back i december but spd put paid to that
i think water is my best option.
. Lets get those babies delivered this week! I think you are all going to start popping together!

 

[A1983]

Yes merri my feet have been a bit swollen-and fingers sometimes but im sure it's the heat-keeping them up helps.

Ewwww ive been leaking oil all night ha ha! No hole poked and clearly no hole needed!

 

[flapjack10]

Hehe I hate it when the EPO 'pops' I always think it's my waters even though I know it's the EPO!
