I'm getting 15-20 texts a day to check if anything's happening, most of them are people trying to be genuinely supportive which is sweet but by the 20th I'm struggling to be polite when replying
Second sweep tomorrow and we also book my induction then for next week so at least I'll have a definite end in sight...

wow you could have yours before me My Dr is willing to go to the 15th before talking about inducement!!

That is if I don't end up puking him out!

Oh my goodness that's ages away! My doctor is only happy to let me go 10 days over which will out induction at next thurs, lets hope that doesn't happen for either of us though...

Well my Dr is a big hypnobirthing advocate, she did it herself. So will wait as long as she can first to allow my body to go on its own. I really do want a good natural birth, as the drip really does make my body go haywire!!

Also sick of everyone asking "how are you feeling?" I really think it's just a different way of saying hey have you had the baby yet.

How do you think I feel. I'm carrying a Watermelon around inside me that refuses to leave!

Im hiding at home too. Seems safer for the general public since I'm super moody and can't stand people lately lol

I can't stay home. I am worse at home. I need to be out doing things staying away from the computer, otherwise I am on it reading things that just scare me

Well, its after midnight so my induction is officially tomorrow.
Im so scared. I should stay off the net I just keep finding new horror stories on induction lol x

I'm sure you will be a super star and so will baby boy

I would be scared too but looking on the up side you will be holding him very soon.

Lots of people I know have had very smooth normal births following induction try not to focus on the horror stories too much

I know easier said than done

 

[allforthegirl]

Well thing might be happening over here but I'm prepared for them to fizzle out.

Sure you'll be fine Hun, not going to lie - I'd rather not be induced - but I've heard plenty of of stories of it being fine (my mum was induced with me and had no problems!) With you being so far along you may well respond to the early induction attempts land escape the dreaded drip. Hope it all goes well

Well thing might be happening over here but I'm prepared for them to fizzle out.

Eeekk I hope not and this is it for you! Did you go over with your other little ones?

I've been having ongoing pains strong enough to wake me several times during the night, intrigued to see if I've dilated any further at appointment this morning...

 

[baby1wanted]

No update from me.

No bloody show
Only lost one big chunk of plug.
Braxton hicks are a little painful but incredibly irregular.

Yay katiie! Another sweet little feb baby born.

Rant: omg my family please stop naming my baby it is driving me nuts!!!! This has been goin on for months now. I can't even think a name without it being shot down. I hate every name they have said. But they don't just suggest they call it a name for a week or two then something else when's mac coming? Now it's is max coming yet? Jason, Eugene, gene, Jed, Mackenzie, Maximus the list goes on. No, no no NO! Just shut up and leave the naming up to me. Rant over

aww, how annoying! We've kept the name a secret to avoid unwanted input. We've given the baby the nickname "LG" (long story) until birth, but my mom has decided to call her "Broomhilda" (NO idea where that came from). So now the rest of my family calls her Broomhilda as well

Have you guys officially decided on a name? You could tell your family you decided but since they're so full of suggestions they'll now have to wait to find out. That might drive THEM nuts as well!

 

[Itsychik]

And random question, but are any of you experiencing any swelling? For about two weeks I've had "cankles" (had it with my DS also) but for the past week my hands have been swelling a lot as well (fingers and the back of my hands). I didn't think anything of it at all until I was reading a "You're 38 weeks pregnant now..." a few minutes ago and said swelling of the hands was a potential sign of pre-eclampsia? I did have an elevated BP at my last appointment but I figured it was just because I was nervous...

so does anyone else get swollen hands/fingers?

LOL! I love the idea of telling them you've decided but won't tell them!!! Serves them right!

Massive congrats Katie!!!! He's so precious!

 

[Katiie]

That's right!
Baby Oliver Edward George Wood was born this morning at 5:44am
Weighing 7lb 14oz
In the bath!!

We have to stay in coz I only got one round of anti bs (strep b positive)
He's just had a good 30 minutes of booby and sleeping it off.
It's so hot in this hospital.

I'll update with pics later x

 

[OurLilFlu]

Congrats Katiie!! Can't wait for pics!
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?

 

[allforthegirl]

Congrats again Katiie!!!

AFM - all my excitement did fizzle off. He is waiting for another day. And he is my first to go over!! So this is all new to me…. the false starts though I had a full week of it with baby #4 before he came. Though I am sure it won't take as long since I was already 3 cm at my last sweep. I laughed at DH cause I said it may be a very fast labour if this is the case.
