Keep us updated Spunky...you could be our first birth!!
 
Lol he's been looking a lot better on the monitor through out the night, though still having some contractions/Braxton hicks (I really have no idea which one).

I'm just waiting for high risk doctor to come around. I'm pretty sure I'll sent home later today.

Though I've officially decided to opt for drugs once it's time! Some of these hurt, so if they aren't even real contractions, then I'm not sure I'll be able to go without lol
 
I never thought that 2 days before my due date I would be hoping baby would stay in! I'm feeling absolutely rubbish.. My cold has only gotten worse, I think I'm getting a yeast infection now and I can't sleep at all. Just completely rundown! How will I be able to cope with labour like this?? I need a miracle cure! :-(

Oh you poor thing! I'm not sure what to even suggest to try and make you feel better. Hope you feel a bit better today. You had any niggles or signs?

I bought clary sage oil yesterday - rubbing it in to your bump with oil or moisturiser is supposed to help and dropping a few drops into a bath. Nothing yet...

I had a few stronger pains last week but everything has stopped since getting this cold! I've tried everything I can to get rid of it!
Hope the clary sage oil works for you!
 
I've been having the worst lightning crotch pains ever the last few nights. Well I assume that's what it is, even though I can normally feel baby moving when I get them but don't when it's really painful. I actually screamed to my oh saying 'just get it out now' haha!
 
Oh I hear you Laura - this baby has spent the majority of its time in my tummy leathering me in the bladder.

It's a full moon tonight which apparently helps bring on labour...weird!! Have we all got names sorted?
 
The lightening crotch has me nearly.falling over
It takes my legs out. I guess when she kicks down she mu st t be on my leg nerves and they nearly give way. I had a hot curry last night. Didn't feel anything from that. Today I've eaten a whole pineapple got horrendous heart burn. My mouth feels furry and I'm getting alot of movement and achiness but nothing major :( who believes tonight's fill moon will get things going
 
Yeah I've just been reading about the full moon! Going to a BBQ a bit later at some friends and she's a midwife, going to ask if she thinks it's true!
 
We haven't got any names sorted yet, we've got a couple we like but I keep going off them and then liking them again. Were team yellow which makes it slightly harder to actually settle for a name also.


Last night I must of had around 2 hours DISRUPTED sleep in total. I'm not even exagerating I went toilet 7/8 times between 11 and 6 it was rediculous. I generally think I'll sleep more with a newborn than I do ATM lol. I ended up buying things off eBay at 4am and then coming downstairs at 5am to get painkillers as my legs were so restless and my pelvis hurt so much. Grrrrrr!!
 
Laura I'm like that every night. Go to the loo about 8 times, major restless legs and hip and pelvis pain. I find sleeping on the sofa helps.
 
I was like that with my first but to be fair I've slept great this time. When Madeline was born and I got a few hours unbroken sleep it felt amazing! My midwife friend also said the full moon thing was absolutely true - they fight to get the day off ha cos they know its gonna be busy!
 
I normally get up 4/5 times but last night was ridiculous. It doesn't help that I completly surround myself with pillows so that it takes me ages to work my way out and then back in again haha.

Restless legs are sooooo annoying!

It's funny how a full moon can effect things. As much as I'm done being pregnant and can't wait to meet my baby I'm hoping to hang on till Tuesday at least. But I just know I'll go over due anyway so nothing to worry about - but the thought of another 3 weeks pregnant is sooo depressing! Lol.
 
Hope you all sleep better tonight. I'm ok once asleep, apart from the loo trips. Will be nice to to comfy with just a pillow under my head though instead of all around me!
Roll on Tuesday!!
 
Roll on Tuesday indeed! I know I will be overdue too Laura.
 
Hi ladies, is it okay if I join you in this thread?

38+1 today xx
 
Thank you :)

How is everyone today?

I'm okay thank you, just usual aches pains! X
 
Baby's movements have been so gentle and quite today ... I've been debating weather to ring MAU literally all day. I got the Doppler out tonight and couldn't find the heart beat - but in all fairness I haven't tried it in months so I had no idea where to try. But since having my tea baby seems to be moving normal again yay! But if he goes quiet again I'm deffo ringing Tomoz just to give myself piece of mind.

I'm guessing he's just moved positions because my bump seems to have disappeared and gone all soft where as it was really hard before.

These babies aye!
 
In last stretch too. 37 +3 here, so achy and uncomfortable- particularly at night!
