Gosh yes, stupid naive first timer here... didn't even think about the size of the head and pushing it out.

Sometimes knowing what you have to come is worse than not knowing. My MW just keeps saying a "nice size" baby. WTH does that mean?

I'm sure they will look after you hun. I can't offer any more encouragement than that as I sit here in my ignorance about birth...

Can I offer a hug?

Your not being naive Beccy, im just being over sensitive at the moment. Your is very much appreciated thank you. Shame your not closer for a proper hug.

Well that's work over with till June it was a bit of an anti climax had a quick thanks then asked where all my cover work was luckily I had prepared or I would still be sorting it out

 

[millward329]

Sorry you're feeling a little unsettled Rachael. Are you more upset at the thought of pushing her out or the potential c-section

No signs of my little man moving at the MW appt today. No appointments left for my sweep next Friday either. The good news is she will come to my house on the Thurs instead but me being weird doesn't like the thought of that. Would rather be able to walk away afterwards but will just go out to my friends instead. Here's hoping he gets a wriggle on before then, still 3/5 engaged.

 

[jojo-m]

what is it with this 3/5ths susie? mine has been that since 20th Dec at least! its so annoying when they say its still the same isn't it? Oh well least not long to wait for your sweep! know what you mean by feeling a bit weird about it being at home lol! wonder if they will do it on sofa or bed?

abstersmum woo hoo for finishing work, you can have a well earned relax now before baby comes!

Just wondering if anyone knows? I know with second babies they don't necessarily engage before labour begins but what about your cervix?? do they expect it to be anterior and effaced and dilated a bit before labour begins? With corey he was fully engaged for a couple of weeks but cervix at last apt was unreachable before I went into labour?? x

 

[mum2be2011]

Susie - Its the thought of the c-section and also having a definate date for meeting baby Hayley (although Ive had enough of being pregnant I dont want it to end). I want a normal delivery as this is our last baby and I would feel cheated if i ended up having a c-section (nothing againgst the ladies that have had them) if the dr hadnt mentioned c-section I probably wouldnt even be thinking about the what ifs.

I know im being over emotional and it sucks, Luke has spent the afternoon ducking from me (not physically) im being so short and snappy with him and non of this is his fault. He offered to go to Tesco to get me some wotsits and some chocolate so I could stay at home and I went ballistic at him and had a right go at him. He asked what I fancied for tea and that I could have whatever I fancied and I bit his head off.

 

[beccybobeccy]

The stupid thing about engaging is I think the baby can just pop out again? Can it not? Annoying.

Last Thursday at the MW I was 1/5 engaged, on Tuesday at the hospital I was 3/5 engaged... by that rate I figure I should be crowning by Monday! LOL!

I'm trying the ignoring method tonight. Which is difficult when you are carrying an extra 3 stone (I know, I know!) and am walking like I've got a rod up my ass. Excuse the potty mouth. I'm not even due til Sunday and I'm slowly disintegrating. (Maybe this is transition!? LOL)

For me I was 25% effaced at my last appt and when i went to hospital with contractios at 1130pm sunday i was 50% but not dialated. when iwent back to hospital at 730am monday i was 2 cm and paper thin. So i think you efface before labour starts...atleast i did. Hope that helps

I did the same to Giuseppe earlier on the phone who offered to bring back some nice food. I feel terrible about it now. I was just ranting at him, then I forgot what I was ranting about so I started crying. He said "why don't you have a nice bath and a little nap" so I started going on about how I was like a beached whale in the bath last time floundering about and how unhelpful he was. Poor lad was at work. I know he feels utterly useless and is trying to help but it just seems like the smallest thing sets me off. He isn't useless. He's been amazing but I have no patience. I think he fears for his life at the moment.

Beccy im not sure about if baby can pop back out if it is your 1st baby I know with your 2nd and more baby can pop out as a baby has already been through there and the head isnt as tight in the pelvis. The midwife and consultant measured me twice today and the midwife 1st got baby as fully engaged couldnt feel any head, the consultant measured me a 2/5ths palpable and at the scan the radiographer commented that baby was right down in my pelvis but could still turn its head in my pelvis. When the consultant re-checked me after the scan he said i was now 1/5ths palpable.

Engagement is very confusing as some midwives/drs say 2/5ths is baby only in 2/5ths where as others say that only 2/5ths is palpable and is practically engaged. Its crazy

 

[millward329]

Yeah lets ignore the engagement thing in protest I say....they are going to come out when they are ready anyway. Glad you understand my sentiment Jo, guess they will use the bed as I have a tiny sofa. Sorry you guys are feeling the emotions at the moment - my hormones are making me grouchy too so good job I'm alone. I spoke to my Mum on the phone and she said she was induced with all four us kids. What was encouraging though was that with my youngest brother she was already in labour and a few cms dilated without feeling any pain at all, so guess it really can happen any time from now.

Just to let you know I had my daughter at home at 11.14pm yesterday (13/01/11) and she is absolutely georgous. I'm over the moon and will update properly tomorrow x x

Congrats Pinkie!!!!! Are you going to share her name and some pics with us? May she bring you lots of happiness and joy!

Hey ladies. here is the link to my facebook pics of my little boy Quinn

https://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=265225&id=507783459&l=d09ae9f92e

Hope it works

He is adorable Laura!

Hey all just wanted to say that I had my daughter, Hazel Thelma on Tuesday 11/1/2011.

I got to Hospital at 8pm and she arrived at 11.52pm weighing 7lb 11oz! She didn't want to hang around!

I had gas and air and had a small tear and was discharged the next morning. She is feeding brilliantly and is utterly gorgeous!

Congrats to all the other new Mummy's and good luck to everyone waiting x

Congrats Central!! Welcome to the world little Hazel

The joy of fridays have gone now I've finished work. I'm SO tired. I didn't get to sleep until 4.30am when I passed out on the sofa. I dragged my bum to bed about 6am but was disturbed by OH constantly pressing snooze on his effing alarm.

I've only just got up now. What a bum!! My body clock is so out of whack now. ENOUGH already! Only 2 days til due date but I'm placing no hope or wishful thinking in this.
Is anyone doing anything fun today?

Shame Beccy, you really sound like you've had enough now, lol

Well that's work over with till June it was a bit of an anti climax had a quick thanks then asked where all my cover work was luckily I had prepared or I would still be sorting it out

Woohoo for maternity leave. You've really left it for the last minute, crazy gal. Hope baby comes soon!

 

[lovealittle1]

Congrats tothe new mummies and lost of labour to everyone else xx

 

[millward329]

Oh forgot to mention that I asked Destiny Faith who had Taylor Mason (can't remember when) if Mrs England had her baby. The answer was yes a little girl Delilah Grace on boxing day. Can't believe how many first timers have been coming early - everyone says its usual to be late first time round!

 

[blessed]

Wow! congratulations everyone!

Congats to all the new mummies first and foremost! Fab news!

Well day 11 past EDD came and I decided I needed a break from this site today. Had bad sleep due to stressing and spent the best part of an hour in floods of tears. This is the first day where I've really thought enough is enough now. I've lost a bit more plug today but haven't had any other cramps really. Either that or I'm just so used to them now I don't notice. Midwife was wrong about it coming by tomorrow and I stupidly got my hopes up again.
Hubby has been so good. Made me blueberry pancakes with bacon and maple syrup, mmmm. Had a nap this afternoon and his family came round for spontaneous cards night which although I wasn't keen for, did take my mind off things.
The PMA has gone for a while, sorry to moan...........

Poor you MrsPhez
I'm so bloody fed up already so I have NO idea of how you must be feeling at +11 days!!!

Is it Monday you are being induced if nothing over the weekend?

 

[Disneydancr]

aw, mrsphez! I'm so sorry to hear that you haven't had your baby yet... maybe the EDD was wrong or something? I can't imagine how frustrating that must be. I really hope something starts happening for you! lots of
