I have had lots of BH's today but it started while out on a walk so I am almost 100% sure they are nothing genuine. :nope:
 
Were Be pregnant forever! Lol ...

This thread is defo slow moving now most have given birth!
 
Clh it is, isn't it?
It's mad there's still some of us waiting to have their baby!
All is going ok here. Bp is under control with the tablets, Markus his jaundice is gone and the breastfeeding is going ok. He gained weight again so that's great stuff. Markus still is cluster feeding during the night though so most I've slept during the night since he's been born is 3 hours. Pretty exhausting!!
Ill keep my fingers crossed your labours will start soon :) x

Glad things are going so well for you & Markus now, and thanks, keep those fingers crossed!

Omi, any news?
 
After the cramping I started getting BH's that were getting worse last night so used the iPad app for timing contractions and although they were hard to get an exact start and stop time because they were slow building they were about 8 minutes apart. But once I went to bed they stopped and I have only had the odd mild one today. I think it is fair to say I will be making it to my appointment on Wednesday. I can't feel him move any more because all I can feel is the pain from my having gotten too big. Thankfully I can see his bum moving really far out so I know he is moving plenty but it is annoying having to keep making sure.

I hope non of us will be waiting much longer now.

Ahh bless you, that doesnt sound fun :( Really hope things pick up properly for you asap. Will they give you a sweep to try and kick things off?
 
It is the second time my BH's have given me a false start and become regular. I am sure that I am not going to believe I am in labour until my waters brake if it does happen naturally. The last midwife I saw said she thinks they will try a sweep on Wednesday although I know it will probably depend on which consultant I see. I think most consultants will consider induction though. Although I know the risks that come with a VBAC are about 4-5 times higher if induced I can't help but think at least there is the chance of avoiding a c-section again if that is tried first. I was really hoping it would happen naturally so the statistics were in my favour though, but 2 more days isn't long for that to happen.

I have no idea if labour can happen out of nowhere or if you always get those obvious signs it is on its way first? :shrug:
 
With my daughter my labour came out of no were, no nothing an then contractions started one morning and I had her late evening! Don't give up hope!

Midwife app tomorrow, guess il request another sweep!
 
Well that was depressing, midwife came round, couldn't do a sweep as body just not ready, and baby still back to back despite all my efforts to move him :-(

Oh no ducky. It's terrible when they tell you that!
My body wasn't ready but that an change from 1 minute to the other. And Markus was back to back as well but he turned during labour, so that was good, but the back contractions were pretty uncomfortable but do-able. X
 
Marlee was delivered back to back didn't really seem any different for me but her poor face was all squashed and bruised when she come out where it was pushing against my pubic bone
 
Thanks ladies, I feel a bit more positive after hearing that. Suspect I will almost certainly be here till I'm induced now though! :-(
 
Congrats babyface!
Good luck chl hope baby turns up soon.

Had a friend over for the weekend so I've not been online much, crazy how a baby can be born whilst you are away.
Visit from friend was overwhelming but good. Louis had a great day on Saturday, he slept beautifully all day and then Sunday he oh napped for an hour and spent the rest of the day screaming until 10pm. Dh went back to work today and I was sooo scared but it hasn't been too bad. We had a good start to the morning but hit a blip in the afternoon and missed our bfing group. Hoping each day will improve. My milk supply has started to dwindle again which is making things harder. Never know if lo has had enough to eat etc. thinking of moving on to formula full time just do its easier for him and not such a stress on him but I'm not 100% at the minute.
 
When's possible induction for you ducky ?

Had my sweep, I'm now basically 4 Cm and my cervix is 'paper thin' soft and baby's head is there it's just waiting for the contractions to start..
She said If I was induced it would literally be a nudge and I would be in labour!

I remember my oh going to work for the first time after our daughter was born, I was scared but it was fine...

I remember leaving her on her play mat in the front room just so I could just go to the bathroom and I checked I locked the door twice!! Lol and it once took me over an hour to get ready to go out for a few hours! It does get easier tho!
 
Also I'm measuring 37 weeks even tho I'm 41 going on 42 weeks... Midwife thinks he will be small or I can just hide a good baby lol

Induction is on Saturday, MW said my cervix is still posterior, thick, not dilated etc. :-(

Is there anything I can do to help get it ready for labour?
 
Well since this last message I'm pretty sure I'm having contraction about 5 mins apart but only lasting 30 odd seconds ... Il keep u all updated, hopefully it doesn't amount to nothing.
 
Clh wow I hope this is the start for you! Already 4 cm dilated, you're nearly there!!!! Good luck hun xxxx

Ducky, did they say if your cervix was soft? Normally they need it to be soft, which helps in labour. I took epo, 1000mg once a day for a few days and it made my cervix really soft. X

Midwife told me to express an oz for Markus to have as a top up at the evening feed so hopefully he won't cluster feed. Just fed him and he then guzzled up the oz I pumped this morning so fingers crossed he'll actually sleep a few hours now :)
