is there a plan of action? how you feeling?

 

[LittleMrs]

Come on pinkie. If you give birth then i only need one day to catch up and win the 'who goes furthest overdue' race. I think that you and leanne are neck and neck currently, but tomorrow you'll be in the lead. I was working out this morning that by Monday I would be in the lead but I forgot you were still overdue too.

Going to ikea for a long walk around and buy some cushions. Then friends over tonight and tomorrow afternoon. Thinking the cinema on Monday or Tuesday. Tuesday is cheap day. Any other suggestions? Trying to plan as far in advance as possible so that I'm not being expectant (if you'll pardon the pun) about giving birth.

Congrats Samara....good to have another boy.

Feeling a little brighter today ladies....those hormones can be kinda reckless. Thinking of heading out for a swim and soak in hydro pool.....never know it could be my last chance in a while!

swallowing sperm

 

[abstersmum]

Jade that made me giggle

 

[millward329]

Eww sperm.... happy 39 weeks Abstersmum, be joining you tomorrow. Got any appointments, sweeps booked?

 

[abstersmum]

Could have a sweep on the 18th still thinking about it, the sperm thing my mw told me last week is the best way to start labour I will have to be desperate but I still have 1 week left at work so not trying anything till next Friday lol

 

[pinkie77]

LittleMrs, my little boy was 13 days late so I think you might have a bit of a fight on your hands for most overdue baby Although it's really not a title I want!

Sar, I'm supposed to ring up and book a sweep on monday but undecided if I want to start down that route. Still hoping for my homebirth atm!

 

[millward329]

Does a sweep hurt? Not sure I want the MW sticking two fingers inside my cervix if it's still closed.....nothing been that way in a while!

 

[abstersmum]

I've never had one mw said it would be uncomfortable

Just saying hello girls and thanks for all the messages of support and congrats! Posted some pics on facebook and have changed my avatar for you to see.

Birth was traumatic but worth every minute!

Got grandparents here now so need to go but just wanted to say hello and thinking of you all!

Congrats Fraggles!

Congrats Leanne - can't believe how much hair he has. he already has a style! Congrats, he's lovely.

Pinkie - 13 days?! If I'm looking at 13 days then I quit now. Lol

I think I had a contraction - just one, isolated, totally by itself about and hr and a half ago but still....having just one is progress from nothing at all. But I'm not totally sure that's what it was - just felt like a lot of pressure near the bottom which built up over the space of about a minute and then faded. I thought it sounded like what you ladies had described before - what do you think? Did I have my first ever contraction? Not that I think it was the start of something even if it was one because I know some of you were having them irregularly for days/weeks before actual labour. I'd still be excited if I'd had one.

 

[abstersmum]

It's been so long I can't remember what they feel like hope it means things are starting for you

 

[smiffy85]

Hey Tracy - I came back on cos Toby is asleep and Jack is watching over him and the visitors we had have now left.

Sounds like it to me hun. Pressure is one way of describing it and like period pains too. My contractions were all like that in the bottom of my bump, in my pelvis and round the bottom of my back. Big tip from me when your contracting is get your birth partner to massage that bit at the bottom of your back throughout the contraction. The midwife showed Jack how to do it and that combined with the gas and air really helped me out.

I plan on writing a birth story soon but think if I wrote it now I'd not remember everything. Still processing all that happened in such a short space of time.

[LittleMrs]

Ooh, how exciting. I have period pains all the time but no regular pattern to them. They have been a bit worse today -stopped now though. Just had Mexican food for tea, I made chimichangas. Good but not very spicy. well, spicy but not really spicy enough for the purpose. I'll have a bounce on the ball when my tea has settled. And some raspberry leaf tea. I'm ok with going over, I'm still comfortable enough, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop trying.
