Aw Suze your labour sounds perfect - apart from the bleeding afterwards which must have been a bit of a worry but so glad everything went so well for you and little Connor is here safe and well! How is Erin taking to him? Bet you're so happy with your little family

Leanne that's a great bump! I'll try and post mine tomorrow once I've uploaded the pics to the pc as it seems a bit long winded doing it on my phone and I can't be bothered to try and figure it out - lazy I know but I don't have much motivation for anything at the minute

Amber good luck today, hope all goes fast and smoothly and hopefully we'll be reading your birth story over next couple of days!

Rose - hope your mattress has dried I've had that overwhelming feeling that I'm going to pee myself in bed a few times too but managed to not move until the feeling has passed and then made a beeline for the loo!

I'm definitely starting to do the drooling thing and hav apparently been snoring for about 3 weeks now! Can't wait til this baby is out so I can get rid of some of these awful pregnancy symptoms. Heartburn has been a killer lately too - I seem to be going through a bottle of gaviscon every 4 or 5 days!

Well tomorrow is my due date but nothing seems to be happening. My body has had a bit of a 'clear out' today and I've had a few more tightenings than usual but no painful contractions or anything. Starting to think my friend's mum who says she's psychic and said that baby would come on 23rd might have been right. I was convinced she would be here long before that but it's only a week away now!

Great birth story Suze Nicola, no mattress is still damp Getting pretty fed up now, she must be so heavy on my bladder its happening everytime i make a significant movement. Might ask for any advice from gp's if its not resolved by tomorrow. I think my bladder has completely given up on me. It was quite a funny story this morning but not now, i'm fed up. Bump even smaller today too, saw someone that i havent seen for a few weeks and the cheeky cow thought i'd already had her. Going to do bump pic now, see what you all think XxX

Where the hell has it gone?

I can even see my feet again! lol. Mark asked was I sure she was still in there! I'm even smaller than I was yesterday, its so weird! XxX

 

[moggi]

And something else weird is that its not firm anymore, just squidgy if you feel it. I've never known this before with the other two. Do you think its normal? XxX

Leanne I thought I would be too, I'm quite gutted she's not here yet! Ah well I suppose the longer she's in there the better it is for her. I just feel like I'm wasting my maternity leave as I've already had nearly 3 weeks off

Rose you do look small but maybe it's just cos Isobelle has engaged and is hidden in your pelvis? Can't see anything being wrong at this stage, especially when you were monitored in hospital just a week or two ago. Mine seems to be a bit smaller too - still firm but definitely smaller. Might just mean you're going to give birth pretty soon

 

[moggi]

Yeah youre both right its probably that shes just tucked herself away Next midwife appointment is on monday leanne XxX

After reading some other posts on here i'm getting concerned this might not just be incontinence (hope to god it is!) Been soggy down there for nearly 24hrs now so going to ring the mw for advice when she starts in a few hours. Think its worth being checked just to put my mind at ease, probably going to end up feeling a complete fool but its been going on for too long now and is it coincidence that it started after the gush in bed when i coughed? Fingers crossed i've just got crap pelvic floor muscles lol. Good luck amber, hope all is going well x

Worth getting it checked babe. I've book a midwife appointment this morning for tomorrow morning. I know it's a whole day away but I haven't had any symptoms but the reason I have booked it in when it isn't due until
Next week is because last night I had a ripping popping sensation down there when I was on the loo followed by some strong bh. But they went after an hour. No dribbling or anything. But just want it checked.

 

[moggi]

Yeah I don't blame you, I've decided its best to look silly than sit here worrying or even putting her at risk from the Group B strep. I am completely 50/50 about what it is but at least if I get checked it'll put my mind at ease XxX

 

[meganOUFC]

Exactly!!! When r u going to get seen? X

 

[moggi]

Still waiting for them to answer the phone, tried so many times and its either engaged or just rings out! Good job its not an emergency isn't it? XxX

 

[meganOUFC]

That's just rubbish!

Im not sure whether to laugh or cry after the conversation i've just had over the phone with triage. They finally answered the phone so i told them the whole story, told them i really couldn't be sure where it was coming from. She said does it wet a pad so i said yes, then she said if you hold it up does it drip? I thought pads were designed not to leak but still. So i said no. She said she wouldn't like to say if it was or wasn't but keep a pad on (ive got nochoice, it leaked on to settee through three layers this morning) and if its wet in an hour call back but it could just be thin discharge you get at end of pregnancy. I told her this had been happening for the last 30+ hrs and she still said wait another hour! Its a complete joke isn't it? Apparently the gbs doesn't matter as they dont treat it until youre in labour anyway so thats a relief, but why do they induce women who's waters have gone after 24hrs routinely? E

Did you call them back after an hour Rose? Have they given you any further advice?
