Good evening/ morning? ladies! Had some pretty exciting news this morning at the Dr. appointment. Turns out I'm 2 cm dilated (1 more than last week) baby is in -1 launch position (as opposed to simply vertex last week- it goes high up, vertex, -3, -2, -1, 0, for those you don't know) and I'm 80% effaced!!! (as opposed to 30% last week)

Seems to be progressing kinda quickly, don't you think? OH has made me promise to hold out at least until new year's though, since he has an important job these next couple days. Wish me luck- I'm going to keep my legs shut tightly!

Well I'm on my last box on my ticker!! Want this time to hurry up I can't sleep at all it's 2:45am :/ and my mw appt is 10:30 tomorrow! I'm going to be tiired!

Anyone else getting extreme thirst?! It's driving me mad

 

[hodbert]

Thats great news Regina!!!!

 

[blessed]

WooHoo Disney!!!!!

 

[LittleMrs]

Never thought you'd make it to the due date, Regina. Congrats.

My due date is beginning to loom now- 7 days. I'm going all the way ladies, and then some. Got my penguin waddle going on finally because she's all the way down but I know most of you ladies have been waddling for weeks now so ultra-sympathy for you coz this is not the most pleasant of walking experiences.

Char- I get very thirsty during the night but that's because pregnancy heat has me waking up in a pool of my own sweat every hr or so. Is it all day? Mention it to your midwife just to be on the safe side. I'm sure it's prob totally normal though.

Baby was teasing me again last night! dont think he likes me

 

[jms895]

Great news Regina!

Tracey and me - Happy 39 weeks

 

[jojo-m]

at the pregnancy waddle! Makes my ass feel HUGE! its all that swaying side to side business!

Regina surely you can't be far off delivery now!

My ice cube craving is getting worse, I just want to crunch them all day long! I spend most of the night feeling nauseous, think its the laying down and little madam has taken to a very set time of waking up for a good kick about between 4.30 and 5.30am then she is awake again at 7am. If I hear my hubby tell me he is exhausted one more time I'll probably do him an injury!

Been taking evening primrose oil for ripening the cervix, I'm going to open one and rub it on the cervix after my bath tonight, then have some sex to really work it in! I have high hopes for this x

 

[jms895]

Now I feel better I think i might beg OH to DTD tonight

 

[smiffy85]

Hey ladies! Forget to pick up yours posts to multi-quote so am relying on my brain lol to help me remember!

How is Phoebe this morning Rachael?

Glad to hear you and Caine are feeling better Jade!

Yay for full term bumpage Regina! And how far you have come since your last appt!!

Jolene your pics are gorgeous I so wanan do some! Haven't actually taken any pics since 37 wks I don't think!

Jo thats poo about your cast. I was saying to OH about it and he was really intrigues but our house just isn't anywhere near bog enough for added extras like that. Am struggling to know where to put all mine an jacks presents!

Tracey I'm gonna go way over too! I just know it. I'm so bloody uncomfortable and feeling hot a lot of the time too. Might take myself for a little wander (actually a waddle lol), round the supermarket today just to get things moving a bit. Desperately in need of some fresh veg and even though I'm convinced he's gonna be really late, if by any chance I do go into labour I want OH to have some food in lol.

Jack has gone back to work today BOO! Have really enjoyed having him around to help me out, and I made sure I told him so last night and he was really pleased bless him. Apart from him grumpiness on the day after boxing day cos he was feeling so poorly we've had a lovely christmas holiday. I'm now lookin forward to new years with him and our friends now we have some plans. We weren't gonna arrange anything but 10 of us are going out for a meal then back to a friends house so I can plonk myself on a sofa lol!!!

Still haven't heard from the midwife even tho I rang and left a message for her to call me to arrange an appt. Gonna ring again today. I am getting very annoyed with them, they really know how to treat a heavily pregnant woman. Yes I know they are overworked but at 40 wks its pretty important I get seen! GRRRRRRR

Anyone else got any plans today? xxxxx

 

[jms895]

Smiffy I dont think you will go way over! Maybe around due date or earlier

I think me and Tracey will be last

 

[smiffy85]

Thanks Jade lol! Could do Thought I would treat you to a few bump pics as Iv just posted in the your bumps thread on third tri! The 2 in the black top are from today at 39 wks +3 days. Then the other 2 pics are me and Jack on Christmas eve at his parents (purple dress) and then Christmas day at my mums (silver dress)! Jack is always closing his eyes on photos grrr! Lol!

Regina - thats fantastic news, not long left till you meet your little lady.

Leanne - Phoebe isnt too bad this morning, her left eye was stuck together and her right eye wasnt far behind. Bathed them with some warm water and cotton wool but she wasnt impressed. Luke ended up having to hold her arms down as she was fighting me. Phoned the drs and we have an appointment at 5pm today so fingers crossed they can do something for her. She had an awful nights sleep so both me and Luke were up in the night with her numerous times as she was inconsolable. At 4:30 she came into bed with us but by 5am she had had enough and wanted to go back to her own room. Luke took her back and she then slept till 7:40. In the middle of all this with little Phoebs, baby started playing up, I had *TMI* warning 3 major clear outs which was just pure water by the 2nd lot of explosions. The pressure down there when im stood up or walking about is unbelievable and its got to the point now that I have to ask Luke to push me over in bed when im trying to turn over. My hips and legs just dont want to work, if i open my legs or bend them to far I get sharp shooting pains down there.

Jade & Tracy - Happy 39 weeks 7 days left for you both, how scary.

On a good note im 38 weeks today, exactly 7 days behind Jade & Tracy

Hope you all have a good day today and Leanne keep pestering the midwife, your 40 week appointment is important. Keep on at them till you get an appointment. It sucks that its yet another midwife that you will be seeing.

 

[smiffy85]

Thanks Rachael! Glad to hear youv managed to get an appt for phoebe and hope you get sorted.

I've just tried the other doctors again to try and speak to a midwife but there is no-one in the office. The lady on reception has advised me to call back around 12 as thats when they are usually back from call and appt's. This is stupid! I'm considering ringing the mobile number they gave me which a midwife should have on them at all times but I know that is for emergencies and feel like this isn't one. I just want an appt dammit!! Jack is really annoyed too. He thinks that all my appts should have been booked in advance cos its not hard to pinpoint when I was gonna need a 36, 38 and 40 wk appt. Stupid system! They should book you in I shouldn't have to chase them around.

Happy 39 wks jade and tracey nto long now for us ay?!!?

xxxxx

Happy 39 weeks Jade and Tracy and 38 weeks for you Jo. Sounds like you may all be getting nearer. Wonder who will go first?
I've really dropped this week so can't wait to hear what the MW says about engagement tomorrow. I'm taking my foster mum (birth partner) with me so she can hear his heartbeat and she is really excited. Getting a lot more CM now but trying not to get too excited as I remember some of you have been getting it for a while. Come on baby Michael make Mummy happy by popping out soon!

Wonder if Jolene has gone in yet - not sure of time difference. But good luck Jolene not long till you hold that little baby x

 

[Central Perk]

I want this baby out NOWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so fat, tired and sick of having constant braxton hicks at night. I want to wear nice clothes and be heartburn free!

Sorry for the whinging but ahh come on BABY!! I want to meet you and cuddle you!

 

[Mom 2B]

Well im off to see my dr in about an hour to try to get something to make the itch go away........wish me luck ladies....I need it!!!!!!

 

[LittleMrs]

Smiffy I dont think you will go way over! Maybe around due date or earlier

I think me and Tracey will be last

Yup - sounds likely, for me at least. All those ladies due at the end of the month having their lovely babies and I'm setting the world record for longest pregnancy EVER!!
