I'm 38 weeks today :happydance: So that's another 4 to go :rofl:

Have a midwife appointment at half 9 so hoping to hear that he's moved down some more. At 36 weeks he was 4/5 palpable xx
 
Good luck teal! Here's hoping he's moved down some!
Congrats on 4 weeks to go! :rofl:
 
Congrats momiji xx

Hope he's moved down for you Teal, I managed to catch one of my m/w yest as she was leaving a neighbours to come & have a feel for me as I was getting mahoosive pressure 'down there' & just wanted reassurance that something was moving as flump has been on the brim till now. I was 4/5 pal so at least its moving in the right direction, I know it dont mean anythings gonna happen soon but it made me feel better :rofl:


She told me to get to the chemists & get some Clary Sage oil & put some drops on my pillow on a night, & about 15 drops in a warm bath once it has run & have a soak to set off labour. She recommended this over & above pineapple, curries & sex :rofl: Wonder if I could sue if it don't work as her word were 'it will set off labour' mmmmmm.
 
Just back from appointment. Baby hasn't moved any lower at all in 2 weeks. Still 4/5 palpable. Midwife said he is lying to one side so I've been advised to buy an exercise ball and sit on it for a while each night xx

Congrats momiji :)

Congrats on 38 weeks teal :happydance: I need to get on my exercise ball but it has a hole in so keeps slowly deflating and it's too much effort to keep pumping it up.

I'm 39 weeks today :)

Feb 13th seems to be a popular birthday, my sister, teal's sister, and VP all have the same birthday. My LO is under strict instructions from his auntie not to steal her birthday :lol:

blackrose- any update? Did the pains continue?

xx
 
Aww teal! Bouncing on my ball certainly helped my little one bury low. Lots of bouncing and hip rolling and thrusting :haha: Although has given me an awful pain in my coccyx. (I'd damaged it before so that's most likely why!)

Has anyone heard news of Beauty or Ash?
 
Congrats momiji :thumbup:

Well done on 38 weeks Teal!

Anymore news blackrose?

Has anyones bubs not started to move down yet?

Mine is still 'free' and hasnt started to engage one bit... he's lying slightly to the left and I use my birth ball lots for bouncing on and leaning over - hasnt budged!!!

Hi All

Well, I had a cramp on sunday night at 20.55 and went to the bathroom and thought I'd wee'd but now I realise it was my waters, I left my trousers off and glad that I did as 10 mins later I had a small gush of fluid, in which there was some blood which scared me, we rang the hospital and we were told to come in, I had a pain at 21.25 then 6 mins later 3 times then 5 mins apart, when I got to the hospital my waters broke completely and I was 4.5 cms dilated. I had the gas and air and an injection of diamorphine, I gave birth on my knees on the bed facing the back of the bed at 23.55 and it was a brilliant position to use.

Stayed in hospital until yesterday as Thomas didnt feed well on monday as he had mucus and other gunk coming up. Am breast feeding and its hard work, last night was tough, I didnt sleep after the birth as I was fuelled with adrenalin and then on monday night he feed almost every hour when he decided he was hungry again, didnt get to sleep on tuesday in hospital and last night eventually after 3 1hour breaks between sleeps he eventually let us sleep!!!

Was told by the nurse when she called this morning to do lots of skin to skin contact today and not let him sleep more than 4.5 hours at a time. After his 11 am feed I kept him up on my knee and didnt let him sleep, he wanted feeding again a 12 so after that I let him sleep. I hope to get some sleep later on.

Not able to et a photo to upload will ask "Daddy" to do it later.

My little bundle of joy (ahem), varies. One minute is engaged and the next he's off having a float around free as a bird. I've got no chance of him engaging properly until labour I dont think!

Think my LO moves up and down too, the last twice I've been checked he's been 2/5th engaged. But sometimes I have so much pressure down there I literally feel about to explode, so think he wriggles a lot xx
 
Im sorry,

maybe just my hormones and i am having an especially bad day - but why oh why are there so many threads about changing bags?

To me this is just not even something I give a second thought to, it is about the most unimportant aspect of having a baby but yet the boards seem dominated at times by panic and worry over a bag.

As i said, im having a bad day, and i'm irritable so feel free to brand me a miserable cow! But I just dont get it!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I didn't put any thought at all into it! It came with the pram woo :rofl:
 
After a very bad Painful day, I called my midwife to ask what my options were with regards to my spd.

To which is not much. She said I cant have a sweep until 41 weeks. I cant have any different pain relief, too close to labour now.
She asked if I wanted a consultant appointment to which I asked the point of and she said 'well they may induce you if you are sore enough' to which I said I wanted to avoid induction and don't want a section either.

So we went a bit round in circles and in the end she said look 'with the best will in the world have some sex'

To which I laughed and asked how!!!!!

She said we just need an end to this pregnancy and its the best thing you can do (easy for her to say)

So anyway I called OH and told him what had been said and he is like totally flummoxed as to how we are supposed to dtd......... tbh so am i!

How do i even get in a position where penetration is possible. Even the slightest parting of my legs is excruciating!!!!

But my mw seems to be very pro going down the sex route..... honestly though - dont they just tell us this to try and make us get a bit of enjoyment in the last few weeks?!

Oh im so stressed tonight. This mornings antics getting out of bed just set me up for a very bad day!

see!! thats the spirit!

I picked mine up in tk maxx. It was a bag, i liked it and i could fit baby things in it................... where is the dilema? I wasnt even on the lookout for one, it was just in the sale and i thought - that'll do. its practical!
