Darling buds of May and June bugs!

Awww deb she's still gorgeous as ever! hope everything is still going well?

Sounds a great idea about a group for us all to stick together still

I told him about the phone thing but he's panicking thinking they'll just get rid of him if he has to go (men eh?!!). I did point out to him its not a bloody dentists appointment or something! I don't know whether he has mentioned anything to them or not but if he hasn't I think he'll be his own worst enemy. xxx

Hello all........... what gorgeous photos of Indy and still isnt 'due' yet!!!!!

Brandy, I can't believe your story!! That is so rubbish! It would make me feel like crap............ on a positive note. At least you can and have had a good sleep and some rest before your impending surgery. I'd take up all the rest going until then xxx

Had looooads of BH some quite painful, so i think i'm beng teased. Oh well really not long to go now so got to get on with it i suppose. My daughters 5th birthday is on sunday so would like to keep baba cooking until after then either that or have her now or within the next couple of days so i am home in time for her b'day. I'd be really sad if i was in hospital for it I still have June2nd in my brain............... we'll see.

Rose i have a feeling Isobelle will be here by the weekend x

Aw she is absolutely gorgeous Deb! And so small still too. Can't believe you still aren't at your due date

Rose I hope they let him keep his phone on, I would imagine they would though, most people would be reasonable in this situation.

No such luck Leanne for me going into labour. I have a feeling I'm going to end up getting induced. So fed up at the minute it's unreal. Got total insomnia and getting about 2 hours of sleep a night, can't get comfortable at all and I'm starting to feel like this is never going to happen. Just had a total breakdown and cried my eyes out down the phone to Steven. I know it's just my hormones and tiredness but I'm just totally sick of waiting now

I've just had the most shit final mw appointment ever! It wasn't my usual mw but she didn't even really ask how I was. Just had a feel and said oh so you're due tomorrow. I asked her when the hospital would induce me and she said 40+12 so at least i've got a date now to work on. Miserable cow didn't even say good luck as I was leaving or anything. Walked back with the most horrible cramping and now i've got in I just feel like crying. Such an anticlimax , not sure what I was expecting but a bit of sympathy/empathy from her about how i'm feeling wouldn't have been difficult would it? Wish I hadn't bothered going, was almost late due to throwing up again trying to brush my teeth, its like being in the first tri again somedays lol. Anyway i'll shut up now, just wanted to get it off my chest XxX

I was supposed to be meeting my friend for lunch today but I'm feeling so sorry for myself that I've cancelled! I probably should have went as getting out would have made me feel better but I just feel like I could cry at the drop of a hat and don't really want to do that in public plus I'm determined that the next time I set foot in a pub I will NOT be drinking coke!

I suppose if I look at it objectively then 23rd is probably a much more realistic due date as its not even 40 weeks since my LMP yet so I don't know how they can say she was due last week. Doesn't help when you're feeling hormonal though!

Aw Rose I know what you mean. You get to the end and expect some encouragement from them but they just don't seem to care. Has she booked you in for a sweep or anything or is it just wait til you're 12 days overdue now and see what happens in the meantime? My sweep is on Thursday so at least that's something to count down to.

No no sweep on offer, not sure if the hospital would do one but thats when i'm 41+2. I'm just worried about not seeing anyone now until the 31st and I did mention this to the mw but she just dismissed it. In my opinion it wouldn't have hurt for her to say pop up next monday if she still isn't here but no. xxx

 

[moggi]

That does seem odd about your LMP. I just worked out that 40 weeks from my LMP is 24th May which by happy coincidence is also my due date. To be so far out seems very odd though.

Mine was yesterday xxx

 

[gypsy1981]

My LMP was 17th August which would make my due date 23rd May and that's what I had down originally but when I went for my scan at what would have been 12+1 they said I was exactly 13 weeks so my due date got moved. My bump has measured correct to what they have thought I am all the way through but that's not exactly a great science using a tape measure. Maybe I am only 39+5 today... I don't know but I suppose at least this way I get induced earlier than I would have if they'd left it at 23rd.

Rose I would have thought they would have offered a sweep before induction. Seems crazy to go straight for induction without trying everything else first!

 

[moggi]

Mine was the 13th or 14th depends on if you count spotting or full flow. I'm really pee'd off that they've just let me walk out after I said I was concerned about not seeing anyone until the hospital. Seems they've just washed their hands of me really and let the hospital deal with me now. That'd be fair enough but leaving me over a week at this stage doesn't seem right, I don't know though xxx

 

[gypsy1981]

I don't know - every area seems to be different. I have a friend who lives in the next city over who saw her midwife for a sweep at 40 weeks and then again at 40+3 but I'm not even being offered my first until 41 weeks. I have exactly a week between appointments at the minute which worried me a bit too but I suppose as long as baby is moving then we should be ok. The slightest sign of something being wrong and I'm going to the MAU x

 

[moggi]

I think I need to take a deep breath and try to calm down and try to shake this feeling of impending doom off. Don't know where my usual mw was today but might ring her later in the week and see if I can go on Monday just to put my mind at ease xxx

 

[moggi]

She also put in my notes, "well, no problems" after I told her I can't move without wetting myself and about all the pain i've been getting etc etc. God, she could have humoured me at least! xxx

Sorry it took me so long, i shall tell my story
We went to the hospital 7pm wed night for Cytotec, this is supposed to thin the cervix, they gave me one then and one at midnight and i slept then at 5am i woke up and felt a pop, i was thinking hmm. i wonder if my water broke i sat up a little and it started gushing lol, yep so i go went to the bathroom, and they came in and then my contractions started it was aweful, i was contracting from 5 am till they called the dr in not sure when, so then they ckd me and i was dialated 3cm they asked if i wanted the epidural i said yes, so they called the anesthesia in they were seemijg to take for ever lol but i was in pain, about 7 it hurt so bad that i felt like i needed to push and my DH said that i said please make it stop please make it stop now, so they checked me and i was complete right then, with no epidural yet... it didn't kick in for a while, and then whne it did they said push, her hr was droping so they decided to let me labor down, so at 8 or so i started pushing again, she was born at 8:37am, she had to have the vac to get her out b/c her cord was wrapped twice around her neck, so her heart rate was going down to 80 at times they just wanted to get her out. she weighed 6lbs 7.4oz 19 3/4 in long Her name is Gracie Anne and she's the cutest little girl ever lol i will try to get a pic on here some time we are gonna take some cute ones today... i've been still adjusting to getting to be mom so i havn't had time to do anything lol and i did't sleep the last 2 nights so todays much better!! Good luck everyone!!

Awww congratulations can't wait to see some pics xxx

 

[gypsy1981]

Congratulations Amber, that's a lovely name sorry it didn't go very smoothly but at least she's here and safe xx

Rose I have that exact same feeling and I he no idea why. I'm putting it down to hormones as I had the same feeling right throughout first tri x

 

[moggi]

Yeah i have no doubts really that its all hormone related. Who'd be a woman eh? Lol. Sitting in the sun with these damn bh's still. Wish they'd get a bit more painful then i'd know if something was happening lol XxX
