Darling buds of May and June bugs!

[moggi]

Yeah i'm up there now waiting to be seen x

 

[moggi]

Good news! All is well it appears i'm just incontinent lol. So relieved, mw did say she was deeply engaged and thats probably the reason. XxX

Theon is unusual, i like it I do have a soft spot for George though. Isobelle is never behaved, made me look a complete idiot at the hospital. Mw said hows her movement been, i said shes been unusually quiet and i was a bit concerned about that too. As soon as the monitor was oshe went mad, squirming all over the place! Shes a cheeky girl So relieved it wasn't my waters though, still leaking like a good un! Hope i do realise if they do go with all this leakage already lol XxX

Theon is a character on Game of Thrones, it is quite an unusual name at the minute but it's really nice We quite liked Arya from that show as a girl's name and considered it for a middle name but I don't think it goes with Caitlin.

I have days where I worry about movement too but she always seems to liven up on a night time so that puts my mind at rest.

Glad it wasn't your waters Rose, Isobelle is definitely a little character. I bet she gives you some grief when she's older at least she's quite engaged though so that'll explain why your bump has gone down so much.

I had my 40 week appointment today and baby is apparently as far engaged as she can possibly get without contractions to push her further down. Looks like its just a waiting game now! I've been booked in for a sweep next Thursday if she isn't here by then and then for induction the following Thursday although I'm hoping and praying I don't make it to either of those. The student midwife found it highly amusing how much baby was sticking her bum out when she was measuring her and both of them laughed about how she's going to have a big bum! My poor child is going to have a complex before she's even born

Ah I thought you'd got it from the baby names website. Yeah he has turned into an evil character but the name is still nice

Had a full fresh pineapple, some spicy chicken pasta and a long walk round Ikea today to try and get things in motion. Had a lot of tightenings and quite a bit of pressure when I walk but still no contractions. I'm getting more and more convinced that she's going to be born on 23rd. Firstly it was my original due date (and I'm still convinced that's when she's due even if the scan did move her forward), secondly my friend's apparently psychic mum told me when I was about 16 weeks that she would be born on 23rd, and thirdly my midwife told me today that she'll be spending the day in the birthing centre on that day so if I go into labour then it'll be her that delivers my baby. I'd like that as I feel more comfortable with her than I would do with a total stranger! I'd still love for her to come before then but I am starting to think that's the day she's going to join us!

Is there no fraction on your notes to say how engaged baby is? Mine has ceph 2/5 or ceph 3/5 next to the last few appointments.

It was to buy stuff for baby's room so it made it more bearable I felt the need to organise her drawers (nesting maybe?) so we went to buy some drawer spacers and some under the cot storage bags. I now have separate sections in the drawers for bibs, vests, sleepsuits, scratch mitts, socks, muslin squares and hats! It felt quite satisfying for some reason!

Yeah I heard too that some babies don't engage until labour so you never know it could happen soon. Bleh I'm sick now - cant believe I'll be officially overdue in 2 hours!

[gypsy1981]

Yeah that's annoying me too, I've had almost 3 weeks off which I could have spent with my baby. To be fair though I probably wouldn't have been able to stay awake at work over the last 2 weeks as I've been having an afternoon nap almost every day.

It was the scratch mitts that set me off as I have about 20 pairs of them and they were just lying everywhere! All nice and organised now though

Hi ladies

How are you all?

Rose I'm glad everything turned out fine, wee Isobelle has been a little monkey! I bet that means she will be well behaved when she arrives.

Happy due date Nicola! Those symptoms you have been having sound promising! Have you got a gym ball to bounce on? That might speed things along too.

Babies definitely don't need to engage before labour, neither of mine did so there is hope!

Can't wait for more babies to arrive!! I wonder who is going to be next-it's do exciting. I can't wait to see what you have Leanne since you are our only yellow bump. Xx

 

[gypsy1981]

Thanks Suze can't believe I'm still here and still pregnant. Body has been having more of a clear out tonight though so I keep thinking things have got to happen soon. How's life with baby Connor? Is he sleeping and feeding ok? Bet you're exhausted at the minute, all worth it though. Don't have a gym ball but keep swaying my hips when I'm washing the dishes, etc so hoping that might help!

I'm convinced Leanne is having a boy and I think Rose will be next to give birth. Amber's baby should be here by now, can't wait to see more baby pics!

 

[meganOUFC]

I wasn't engaged with either of my last 2 until labor!! But Connor my first born I was engaged for weeks!
I have felt horrendous pressure today. Mainly this after noon. And some
Cronic contractions. But they have all died off now. Actually kind of relieved! But sort of gutted at the same
Time! Does that make sense????
I have the midwife tomorrow at 9:40. I wasn't supposed to have one this week as its my 4th but I accidentally (on purpose) booked one in to get checked out and stuff.
I wonder
If any one has our babies tomorrow????????? X

 

[moggi]

Morning all, hope everyone's ok? Any signs of any new arrivals yet? Nicola, it must be so frustrating, i keep feeling like i've got ages left then realised i'll be overdue in a few days too! Mw said yesterday i think you're forgetting how far along you are, yes i am lol. After my speculum examination yesterday i started getting some pretty intense bh which came regularly for a few hours about 5 mins apart but fizzled out by the time i got into bed. I'd even said to mark these only need to start getting more painful and we might be on to something, but alas, no lol. I'd had a couple whilst on the ctg too and it was nice to see they weren't all in my head if that makes sense, mw said they were lovely bh's lol. Isobelle certainly is a monkey, feel like shes here already the amount of trouble she causes mw i had yesterday was the loveliest yet, she said hope to see you again in labour, if it was her delivering me i'd be really happy.Also said isobelle looked ecstatically happy in there. She made me feel so much better about feeling a fool about thinking it could be waters trickling. Although she did say she couldn't confirm some of them had, just that they weren't when she looked so they treat it as they haven't. I don't think i'll be next Nicola although it'd be nice, mw said isobelle knows the way out, she just needs to make her move now and it could happen anytime. We all know that about our babies but we all want to know when don't we?! I'm running out of time, mark starts his new job on monday. Isobelle will purposely come when hes unavailable, i just know it! Lol XxX

 

[moggi]

Megan i forgot, good luck at your appointment xxx

 

[meganOUFC]

I just saw bets Facebook this morning. Woo hoo we have another baby ladies x

My pains died off too last night. Midwife in half hour.
I keep forgetting my
Bump picture. I will take one when I get
Home and post. Hopefully will
Be my last one. According to everyone Saturday's my
Day but I doubt it! It would be typical though as its the champions league final and that's all everyone wants to sit and watch lol!! I'm sticking with June 2nd though
XX

Rose, isoelle must really be comfy

 

[meganOUFC]

Isobelle* silly
Phone x

 

[moggi]
