Great bump Hun and look how slim you are, you will be straight back in those jeans I'm sure! X

Awww thanks I hope so!

 

[iprettii]

good morning ladies!

yay jo! so happy for you... sounds like your LO's coming!
You too Fraggles! Losing your plug definitively is a great sign, I've heard!

I'm ready to have mine too... I'll be full term on Wednesday. I've been getting tons of contractions that start in my back, but that's been going on for a while, and I was only 1 cm dilated on thursday (I was finger-tip dilated the week before). I don't think I'm going to really be able to count contractions as a sign of labor, or I'd be in the hospital right now. I think I'm going to wait for my water to break, or spotting. Little girl wasn't even engaged yet on thursday. Luckily I have weekly appointments, so on Wednesday if I've dilated significantly, maybe the doc will just tell me to go to the hospital (fingers crossed). I don't mind the pain so much... if there's a point to it. I don't blame the LO when she kicks me or squirms around and it hurts, but when it's my body spasm-ing or contracting and it's not because of labor, I reserve the right to get upset. lol. Alright, enough ranting. I hope you ladies have a lovely boxing day... not really familiar with the holiday as we don't celebrate it here, so does anyone want to give me a short synopsis?

fingers crossed for you hun!!!

No Xmas babies then? Hope everyone had a great one!

We all ill with chest infections and feel poooh!

Just wanted to say Merry Christmas everyone!!!!
I've had the best Christmas ever as my boyfriend proposed this morning!!

I still can't believe it - I'm so excited!!!

xxx

Congratulations!

I had a lovely ring too

Hey ladies not much to say except I ate chocolate for breakfast. Just want to see my ticker as it's full term day for me and Beccy. Someone remind me of the eviction orders again...pineapple and what?

Yay! xx

hi girls hope you all had a fab christmas! we had a lovely day apart from the couple of hours with the MIL at tea time, but she is always very trying!!!!

A bit of positive action going on, since hubby came home and dtd he said he could feel babys head on his willy, and sure enough on inspection in the bath I could feel her head internally. I can't remember for sure but think I was only a week or so off delivery with corey when this happened with him. I'm quite excited things are progressing! I really didn't want to go to due date, maybe now I won't have to???? x

Thats fab news! I not checked but reckon I must be one or two cm dialated because of all the pains etc x

Jo, I hope that means baby is on her way!

I have attached a pic of Mackenzie's gifts The educational toy at the back is from my mom. I don't know what she was thinking, lol. I'll have to put that away until she's a yr or 2.

Oh, and looks like I'm not getting my maternity shoot so hubby is going to have to get creative with his camera. Hope we get some nice shots

Gorgeous gifts xx

Hi ladies hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Ours was very nice even though I lost terribly at monopoly! Happy full term to those that have reached it! I kept telling myself that I don't really need to think of baby being here until after Christmas and now it is after Christmas and reality is sinking in!!! 38 weeks tomorrow! Have a nice boxing day JJ's anyone hitting up the sales?

Yay happy 38 weeks for tomorrow xx

Hey girls! Hope you are all well, no more babies yet then?

I have finally gotten round to typing up my bith story so here it is, it's long though! https://www.babyandbump.com/birth-s...r-failed-induction-c-section.html#post8357172

 

[Jolene]

so do I Jo! the gifts for Mackenzie are lovely! Think I'm going to get my hubby to pull out his camera, he's quite keen on photography so hope he can get a couple of tasteful bump shots that don't show my terrible cellulite! I'm thinking black and white! plus got the bump cast to do too, think may get on with them tomorro just in case! How many days til section now hun? x

Well I think we got some nice pics today. Will sort through them and see I have an appointment on Wednesday and then he'll tell us if the section is thurs or monday, so between 4-8 days

Here is my full term bumpage compared to 10 week bumpage. What a difference!

Lovely bump! Jo be careful what you say, lol.... I took a pair of pants with that I wore until I was 6m preg and assumed they would fit after Jess was born. I actually started crying in the hospital when they wouldn't fit, lol. Damn hormones.

No Xmas babies then? Hope everyone had a great one!

We all ill with chest infections and feel poooh!

I hope you all get better soon. It's not nice feeling sick and still having to look after everyone else too Especially at 9m preg.

 

[pinkneon]

My princess was born early on 7th December ... Can you please update it? Thanks

 

[millward329]

Congrats on the princess Erikah pinkneon : )

Sympathies with the chest infection Jade, I'm half way through the antibiotics - kinda hard to cough with a big bump huh?

Congrats our your lil girl pinkneon!!

Boxing day is a bank holiday when (I think) people used to give to charities. But I'm not totally sure. It's always the day after Xmas but if it's on a sat or sun there's an extra bank holiday afterwards.

Right ladies, list of symptoms for you- unlike a lot of the ladies, I'm fairly sure my plug is still there. What I wanted to know is do you think I'm getting close? I've spent the last three evenings in bed feeling really sick and when I'm laid up my stomach is really tight and egg-shaped. I now pee like an old man - frequent trips but not much pee- I think bladder can't take much now. I'm a lot more tired than I had been previously and have been napping lots but when I'm not sleeping I'm restless. TMI but my stools are getting more loose. I have more heartburn than I've had previously (there was enough to start with). I've also been having quite a lot of cramps. And I'm finding it very difficult to get comfortable at all.
So, am I close? Or am I going to be waiting a while yet? All comments gratefully received.
Lovealittle- can't believe how thin you were pre-pregnancy, think I looked more like your full-term self pre-pregnancy. Lol. And you're all bump too. Wish I HAD a pre-pregnancy figure to get back.

Since this is my first, I can't say whether you're close or not, but your symptoms sound EXACTLY like mine.

 

[LittleMrs]

Thanks Regina, helps to know someone else feels the exact same as me.

Has anyone heard from Naomi? It's her due date today. Gonna have a bit of a stalk and see if she's been on facebook today. She's been close for a while- fingers crossed for her that her LO is on the way.

 

[jojo-m]

Littlemrs I didn't have a show until over 6cm dilated last time and waters went even later than that so both in established labour. I had no prior warning either just woke up needing a poo quick! That's the thing about these little monkeys we're having, they seem to come when you least expect it ;-) x

 

[jms895]

Tracey - similar symptoms to me and I would gues yes, your body is getting ready

Pinkneon congrats!

 

[jms895]

Oh and Tracey to add - Like Jojo, when I went into labour with Caine I woke up at 5am needing a clear out (poo) sorry TMI, then my waters were dripping, (they never gushed) then an hour later lost plug and within about 10 hours he was here I think your body is preparing you for a faster labour Like me, hopefully. Thats what I think. Every niggle and pain is a step closer and less to have to do on the day!

God my chest, lungs and wind pipe are killing. What do I do as docs shut tomorrow and Tues I think

 

[lovealittle1]

Congrats pinkneon! Another bundle!

 

[lovealittle1]

Littlemrs - thanks for the nice comment. My symptoms are very similar to yours too. everyone keeps saying I am going to have the new years baby. If you have the first baby born of the year you get loads of gifts as well as your picture and story in the media. Wouldn't mind all the freebies but no interest in having our pictures taken!

 

[jms895]

Ahh all the freebies would be great

I had predicted 2nd Jan early on, so I might stick with that now! Want bubs to stay put until I feel better

 

[LittleMrs]

Jade, try nhs direct - sounds pretty bad to me, bronchial almost.

Thanks for the advice ladies, I especially like the idea of a quicker labour. Lol.

 

[jms895]

Thanks hun, think will come them in the morning. Me Caine and OH could do with some antibiotics I think

 

[LittleMrs]

They'll be able to make you an appointment with the local
emergency dr and they'll give you some antibiotics- you'll be high priority, being heavily pregnant. Good luck. Xx
