!!!! 
Don't think I am going in 10......
Phoebe was 4 technically 5 days late. She was born 3 hours into the 5th dayI was induced with her as I had been slowly losing my waters (although going from my dates not scan date she was born on her dd).
Fingers crossed for you as well hun. I know what you mean about a clear out. Im beginning to wonder if all this sickness and 'other end' has been a clear out for labour. Cramps and pains in the thighs sound painful, really feel for you with that
Abertsmum - group b strep test is a high vaginal swab taken to check for Strep B. Not everyone has it, it depends on where you live and the hospital policy. Some areas automatically test every woman for it where as others dont. If you have a swab taken to check for infection they will automatically test you, if you have certain symptoms etc or have had a group B strep in a previous pregnancy then they will swab you.
I had Group B strep with Phoebe and it was found on a swab at 6 weeks in this pregnancy and also in my urine so I wont be getting re-swabbed as our hospital go by the if you've had it this pregnancy your more than likely to have it at delivery. There is a really good website if you want any info on GBS. It is https://www.gbss.org.uk/
lovely bump pics Regina, babies really start putting the weight on now. Your bump is so neat and tidy and it has definately grown. You have a very happy and healthy bean in there
Been downstairs playing with Phoebe since 6:45. Today she has decided that she wants to get up early and as daddy hasnt had much sleep (he was playing xbox online with friends in Florida till gone 2am) I decided to bring her downstairs and let her play with her toys. On the plus side it means she can go to school early (can drop her off any time after 8) and I can get the last few bits for xmas and I want to get baby a special outfit for coming home from hospital (one that Phoebe hasnt worn) so im off to get that before everyone starts shopping
Bellyache and backache has gone this morning, and Im no longer having streaks of blood so Im going to count my chickens and take last night as a warning and will mention it at the hospital tomorrow morning. Hopefully they will examine me and say everything is fine and baby is tucked up nicely till new year.
Jade - Happy 37 weeks and congrats for being full term.
Hi Ladies, I have put up my nursery pics here: https://www.babyandbump.com/pregnancy-third-trimester/487276-nursery-finally-ready.html I just need to figure out how to change it so that you can see them under the post instead of having to click on each photo
Morning all! Gosh everytime I come on here someone is having niggles. Its all getting close now!
Jolene your nursery pics are gorgeous, I looked at them on facebook! Off to my mummy's today for hair appt (it's in their hometown) and then stopping over the night. My bump is getting so huge now! Can't believe how round I am, it looks like I've swallowed a football lol! I'm gonna take some pics when Iv got dressed (not in pj's cos no bra at the minute lol and that is not a great photo opp
I hate moaning cos there seems to be lots more ladies worse off than me with sickness and stuff but my ribs are killing me and have been for the past few days! Its on my sides and back more than the front. I was washing my hair in the shower yesterday which obviously involves having my arms up and over my head to rub in shampoo and the pain, goodness me! I nearly couldn't manage to rub it all in! And then I went to shave my legs (knee downwards lol) and couldn't really do that cos of the big belly! Felt all ot of sorts lol! But I suppose my little man is happy and safe in there and as uncomfy as I am getting now I still want him to stay put till after christmas day. And I keep telling him everyday. When his daddy left for work this morning the last thing he said to me/my belly was don't go into labour! Hehehe!
How is everyone feeling today?!? xxxxx
not long now xxxxThanks Fraggles!!
I've just taken some pics of the full term bump to send to family on a 'bump update' email so thought I would show you ladies too! I actully only sent clothed ones to the family lol! Didn't wanna scare them with my stretchies hehehe! Really need to get my arse in gear as I am supposed to be leaving to go to mums in about 10 mins lol and am still in my pj's
I'm so excited for you!!!!!! 
for all the full termers im there on Saturday Cant believe in less than 3 weeks i'll have another baby.
Im Group B strep, you definitely dont need it with a section as the problem occurs as baby passes through the birth canal. I did have antibiotics last time as was in labour bloomin ages before the emergency c/s
Baby bought his older brother a gift yesterday ready for when he comes so he can say hello to his big brother
Hi ladies just to let you know that im currently on hold for the pregnancy unit at the hospital. I think im having contractions, they are 30 mins apart at the minute and lasting for around 30 secs. It maybe my body having a trial run but they feel very real to me like it did with Phoebe, because we are classed as high risk and my last labour was only 5 hours long im ringing them now for advice :s To top it off it has just started hammering it down with snow.
