Thats the thing sarah I don't really know. Having not done this before I dunno whether it is just discharge (grossness) or show coming away slowly or what. Got nothing to compare any new symptom to! I'm wondering whether my pelvic floor is so crap that I'm just letting a little drop of urine go or something!?!?

Jo mentioned she felt similar a day or 2 ago too. Are you still feeling a bit 'wet' jo???

Smiffy put a pad on. Waters have a distinctive smell and urine smells of well....urine. When mine was leaking a pad helped me know difference. Hope its your waters :)

Not so much wet but felt a dribble down my bum and leg whilst laid in bed, it happened twice then nothing since. Although I was in the bath last night and there was a gross stringy blob of mucous floating in the water, so maybe beginning of show, discharge has increased but its not the same 'wet' feeling I had other night so who knows? :shrug:

If you having it lots Leanne, i'd get a pad on and see whats what! x

Littlemrs my hubby is exactly the same! I get so mad when he claims to be too exhausted to do something I asked! I love that line 'sorry dear is this pregnancy a bit hard for you?' maybe I will use that one later! It's more civil than the slap in the face I'm itching to give him! X

But probably not as fun.

Morning I'm here!

Crikey and I thought I wasn't sleeping well. I suppose I should count myself lucky as my pattern is usually sleep deeply for a few hours till the first wee stop between 2-3. Then I get back in bed (painfully) and try to find a new position thats comfy which usually involves changing pillows around at which point I usually get a grunt or if I'm being really annoying (in his opinion) a big *humpph* lol! Its hard to arrange a nest of pillows in the dark lol!

Then I usually drop back off about half hour later and then wake again around 5 for another wee and then climb back into another position and wake up for alarm at 7. I think what is making me feel sleepy is the broken sleep. Even in those times when I think I'm asleep or awake, I'm pretty sure I am cat napping cos the smallest thing wakes me. And whenever my right leg moves I wake up cos of the pain. And I was always a sleep through kind of girl.

Luckily my OH isn't too bad in the week when he has to get up for work cos I think he is going through a stage where he feels sorry for the pain I am in with my hips. He said yesterday that he hates to see me in pain so much and I said "you aint seen nothing yet! how are you gonna get thru labour"! Lol. At the weekends I try to let him sleep in if he needs to but then I get complained at cos I'm not there for cuddles in when he wakes up lol. He likes a morning cuddle hehe. Usually cos it leads to other things for him. :haha:

Susie I think I'm gonna have a day off and chill today and just go with the flow. Got the maternity support worker coming round this morning at 10 and gonna ask her what she thinks about my waters and maybe them leaking. Mght gove the hospital a ring if she doesn't know. To be honest I think I may be being paranoid but bean's movements were a bit on the small and weak side yesterday so I just wanna know everything is ok. He's been moving around bodging me this morning so I'm not mega worried but the movement has def changed in the last few days.

How is everyone feeling? Lots of naptime planned today? xxxxx

OHs - pppfffft. Don't you just wish you could swap for the day and be as insensitive as they're being.

Sarah - I am here and likely to be for a while

Today is the due date but no baby and unlikely to be for a while.:cry: Had midwife appointment about an hour ago - baby is still only 4/5 engaged and a high 4/5, exactly the same as lat appointment two weeks ago. Midwife says she doesn't think it'll be soon 'but you can never tell'. Maybe you can't ever tell but I can tell when someone is trying to appease me. My worry now is induction - she says 13 days until induction. Booked for a sweep next week but while the baby isn't engaged she doesn't seem hopeful that it will work - just give her more information about how engaged the baby is and effacement etc. So looks like I'm probably going all the way - if I have a 72 hr labour then LO and me (who shall now be renamed LS - little sod) will have the same birthday, 'happy 30th mum'. Just feeling so disappointed. :cry:
 
oooh sounds positive Leanne!
There MUST be SOMETHING going on.

Fingers crossed...

Just sitting in front of the TV doing my Tesco's order.
Then next on my list is the gardening, if you know what I mean.... ;)

I've been meaning to do it for a week or so and I can't put it off any longer. (Maybe TMI?? not sure! :ROFL:)
Last time I needed a mirror and a torch... Will probably need some sort go-gadget arms to get a half decent job done!
 
Just spoken to delivery suite and they want me in just to check whats what at 12:30. Just called Jack and he's coming home to get me and take me in. Part of me feels like I'm being paranoid but another part of me thinks if it is something happening I would rather know and if it affects bean then thats better than not knowing. If that makes sense. Suppose it's their job and what they are there for. And if all else fails I might have some clue if I'm starting to dilate maybe or not lol. We shall see.

Ooo - that could be the start. It might be the final time you log on as pregnant instead of as a mummy. Feel a bit abandoned - lol, just kidding, get jogging until Jack gets home, see if you can start something off.
 
Oh. ticker, you are such a liar - the baby is certainly NOT ready to be here.

Fingers crossed for you Leanne. This sounds like what happened with me when Phoebe was born. I called the unit at 9am day before she was born and they asked me to go in to be checked over, because they had used the jelly to examine me they couldnt see if my waters were intact or not and I was admitted then and there and was induced later on that day. Take your hospital bag with you just incase, you might be needing it. :thumbup: Dont think your being paranoid, you know what is right for you and bean and what is normal for him. You are doing the right thing going in to be checked. It is the midwives job to look after and reassure you. If they send you home so be it, at least you know bean is ok. If they keep you, you could be a mummy very soon :happydance:
 
Thanks hun! Made me feel a bit better about going in and maybe wasting their time...lol...who knows ay!! xx

Your not wasting there time. You are a 1st time mum who is concerned about her baby, it is perfectly normal. :hugs:

My friend is a community midwife and sometimes works on the triage unit at the hospital where Im booked, she is always saying to me that she wishes people would phone up for advice rather than sit at home, worry and google things. As sometimes all it needs is a reassuring chat from an understanding professional, or a quick check up or monitoring. She is a 1st time mum herself now and despite being a midwife she still phoned triage for advice.
 
im not bad thanks, going for a sleep soon to try and catch up on what i didnt get last night. Phoebe true to form perked right up once she got to nursery and 'ran' into her room. The staff said to the other children "who is it? its Phoebe Froo, say hello to Phoebe" and they all waved and started shouting beebee (there 15 months - 2 yrs in that room, although Phoebe started in there at 13 months as she was too advanced for baby room and was bored) one little boy called Joseph started blowing her kisses, she got all excited and ran over to him and gave him a kiss on the lips (little flirt).

Please dont worry about me Leanne im fine, concentrate on yourself and bean today. You 2 are the most important things, fingers crossed everything goes ok for you today.
 
Thanks hun enjoy your sleep. Its always amazes me with my bunch of 4 yr olds how happy they always are to see each other bless em! Just been and collected my 'evidence' to take with me (last pad I took off). I figured that if the one I'm wearing now doesn't show anything then the other might. They did tell me to bring the pads in though - quite gross but I suppose they've seen and dealt with worse. Just waiting now for Jack to get home, hoping hes got some change for the car park. And have just been and added the last few things to hospital bag just in case - coming home outfit, ipod, ipod player and camera. Like you said, you never know although I am probably jinxing it now lol and I am just weeing myself lots :haha:

Hopefully give you an update soon but if not on here will text sarah who an update you xxxx
 
OOOOOOoooooooooooooh good luck Smiffy x
Just had Joe weighed and he is 9lb :shock: I tell ya what if any of you are carrying a baby who is around 9lb I really feel for ya as I is a lump and you can really feel the fat on his back it must be so uncomfortable to carry that plus water and placenta
 
good luck Leanne, hope it is your waters!!! x
 
Happy 39 weeks Rachael and hope you get some sleep today....it is pants being awake at silly o'clock. Glad I get to sleep alone until bean arrives.

Leanne, thinking of you chick and even if they send you home you are overdue so not wasting anyone's time. I am soggy all the time and have to wear a pad but it's just lack of pelvic floor exercise for me.

Beccy....:rofl: the vision hehe. I'm quite fortunate in that area don't have a lot of gardening to do but could still use those gadget arms though.

A bit of advice needed now ladies....since I got home I have been so weepy. At first thought I was just unsettled but cried as soon as I got up this morning (seemingly for no reason at all) Anyone else get this with hormones? It doesn't usually happen to me - there is nothing bothering me just feel a bit helpless and when I cry it's like I can't stop. Then I'll be ok for a bit. Not sure whether to mention to MW or just give myself a few more days to see if it stops
