I reckon you'll be the valentines baby- you really want a baby on a special day like the others

 

[Wiggler]

I would have to be super lucky to have a 3rd special birthday baby, I'm not the luckiest person

I hope we all have our babies very very soon, the last few weeks are so miserable.

 

[smileyfaces]

Im only offered a sweep at 40+7 Oh well, probs still have a high, closed cervix then anyway. Im so utterly convinced I am goin to be induced!

This was me today I don't think it'll be you though! 3rd babies are pickles, my 2nd was a 38weeker!

Ohh it will be me too, dont worry haha! Never ever in a million years can I imagine this baby coming naturally before I need to be induced!

And yep, Wiggler, I hope you get your Valentino Bambino!

Has anyone who has been in labor before had shooting pains down the inside of your leg during a contraction? My contractions are irregular but I have this leg pain all of a sudden with them...this is new. Does that mean he's sitting on a nerve or something?

 

[embo216]

Could be sciatica nerve hun, seems like a lifetime ago with my last labour- although it was only 3 years ago

 

[gflady]

Evening ladies!

Sorry haven't had chance to catch up properly on posts.

Had my bloody show at lunchtime today (defo bloody show rather than mucus plug). Can't figure out if this means labour is imminent? Any ideas? Don't want to get my hopes up needlessly.

 

[babydreams85]

Thanks Em, it's sort of in the inside of my thigh though and goes down from there...not really towards the back. The contractions are starting in my lower back, moving to the bottom of my bump in the front as a crampy feeling, and then I get the leg pain at the peak of them. They are all over the place though. 10 mins, 17 mins, 15 mins, 22 mins apart. I'm sure they will quit.

 

[Wiggler]

I had my bloody show 4 days before Bethany was born. It means your cervix is deffo getting ready

 

[babydreams85]

gflady I think after bloody show generally baby comes anywhere from a few hours to a few days later. Of course I had mine a week ago lol

 

[smileyfaces]

BD I would have said he was on a nerve too. I dont remember having pains shooting down my legs in labour.

GF yaaaay for bloody show

 

[BeccaxBump]

Ooo, Gf, hope it's something. I had a little blood on my tissue the other day, not sure what it was, because there was no plug, like you.
xoxox

 

[embo216]

ooh bloody show is a great sign!

 

[gflady]

Woo hoo, thanks ladies. Really hope it's the start of something, fingers crossed. A valentine's baby would be great!

 

[PerpetualMama]

Never thought th way I've been feeling that this LO would take me all the way up to my due date, but she has, tomorrow. Whie that's the EDD I am disheartened enough to admit that she'll probably be after that date even if it's just a day or so. I don't see her making it too far past week 41. DH wants me to jump at induction. I actually can't believe he's anticipating her birth. I'm just not sure "WHY" exactly he is. Is it so he doesn't have to listen to me piss and moan and bitch...or because he wants to meet her?
He was not a happy man to find we were pregnan again, and stuff he's said makes me wonder about his motives. If I know him though, she's going to have that man wrapped so tight around her bitty finger in no time

 

[BeccaxBump]

Doesn't a bloody show need to be combined with mucus plug? Or am I thinking wrong? You can SO tell I'm a first time mum .
xoxox

 

[Kitty_love]

Congrats Blue!!!

Embo-sorry your appt didn't show things starting for you. Hopefully soon though!

Gflady-sounds like a good start...

Maybe Valentines babies for both Gf and Wiggler!?!

Hope to see an update from TN soon - hope she's ok!

BD-not sure about the leg pain, but hope it doesn't get worse for you. Maybe check in with your dr to let them know?

Becca-hope you're feeling better.

to everyone.

AFM-Blake passed his eye exam today, so that's good news!

 

[embo216]

Great news about Blake I hope TNT is ok too

 

[Wiggler]

Aww yay, that's brilliant news about Blake!

I want this baby out now!!!!! Spent most of the evening bouncing/rocking/doing pelvic rotations on my ball, got up to go the the loo and could only walk like a cowboy where my pelvis locked

 

[Jembug]

Pm happy due date for Tomoz.

Em, keep positive, I'm sure things will happen soon.

As for mucus plug and bloody show- mine have been separate times..

This time I had a slight mucus plug loss during labour but had nothing else until my waters.

Is there any news on Lindy? Have I missed her post? I read she had her baby but no more?

Hush to the other who have signs/ no signs.... Come on valentines babies!!
Oh and well done Blake.

 

[BeccaxBump]

Take it easy, Wiggler! Don't push yourself.

Jem - I really didn't realise you could bleed and loose plug at different times.

Is the bloody show A LOT of blood or?
