~*~ February Flowers 2014! ~ 37 Babies Have Arrived! ~*

Congrats Katie, he is gorgeous :) all these beautiful babies are making me more impatient lol x
just walked the 1.5 miles from my house to my mum's in the hope of kick starting something, did it in 25 mins x have had a few Braxton hicks but nothing else but there is still time, fingers crossed won't be long! Just been told my nan is back in hospital, waiting for a place in a hospice :( she has cancer :( guessing it has got worse, so want her here asap so they cam meet each other :) xx
 
Itsy, swelling can also be normal at this stage. Ppl often complain of carpal tunnel due to swelling in the hands/wrists. What was your BP? Mine has been creeping a teeny bit (124/92) and my MW said to take it again at the end of the week, do an Epsom salt bath and drink lots of water.. I haven't had much for swelling though. No headaches, vision changes or liver pain etc?

Yea actually I hadn't even thought twice about it until I got the e-mail with the 'warning' signs. Aside from the elevated BP last time (140/85... but up until now it's always been around 110/60) and the swelling in hands/feet, I don't have any other symptoms.

I had another mw appointment today though and she said that the swelling was normal and my bp was lower (125/80) so no worries! Thanks for your response though :flower:
 
Whose baby have I missed?? It was at 14 the other day! Struggling to keep up!

Aftg any signs yet?

As for me nothing to report here :( I've had increased discharge but that's it! I know I'm not due till Monday but still want baby here now - so impatient and uncomfortable

Love to all x x x x
 
Hope the induction is going well Geordie! Can't wait to hear about it, I'm sure you'll do fine!
 
Nothing here…. Had a really strong one when I got up to pee and got all excited then fell back asleep with no more to follow. My LO is going to come sooo wrinkly it isn't even funny. I am going to have to smother him in lotion every 30 min LOL
 
Here some of Wyatts nb pics!

Thanks ladies, I have just been so wrapped up in caring for LO I am not so up to date with this forum as I used to be. I read everyone's post but just have been keeping quiet, so dont worry im still around! !! XXXXxx
 
Phoned my midwife unit, they seem to think I'm at the early stages of labour! Woop! Gotta keep an eye out but fx baby should be here on time!
 
Stomach has hardened and have had several contractions although they're not regular and not lasting very long. Also peeing every two seconds (and was only tested for uti yesterday as part of my routine examination)

Mw reckons I'm in early labour, take some paracetamol and relax and monitor them. She said it could be within the next 24 hours or it could go on for longer, but just to monitor them and call if anything becomes unmanageable.

Getting excited now - obviously bouncing on that ball worked :)
 
Great pics!!

Been contracting every 20 mins for over 12 hours now. Have had bath, been for walk and bounced on ball but nothing making them closer or stronger. They're painful but more than manageable. Most of pain is in my back which us worrying me...
Just hoping I get a decent night's sleep now and then can face tomorrow a bit more refreshed.
