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.

Oh hun I hope all is ok. Will they try and stop the labour? xx

Hey girls, well this time in 48 hours we should be well on the way to bubs' arrival! Am v tired as up early yet again and think slightly freaking out about going in hosp tomorrow, so not a long post. Thank you for your thoughts girls and Rachael hope everything is ok with you

Not long now hun! xx

Hi Ladies thank you to everyone for your well wishes and concerns.

Everything has now stopped , finally got through to the hospital and after speaking to the receptionist and then the midwife (who turned out to be a girl I was very good friends with at college) I was advised that at 30 minute intervals at only 36 weeks hopefully the contractions will stop and that this is normally what happens if they are staying at 30 min intervals for a couple of hours. As my waters are still intact I was advised to go and have a nice relaxing bath and to keep an eye on movement of baby and also the 'contractions.' My bath was that relaxing I fell asleep on the bed wrapped up in just my towel

After re-speaking to the unit about 30 mins ago, im going to stay at home and if the 'contractions' return I am to call straight away and if there is a bed available im to go in for monitoring to keep an eye on the contractions and to also see what is going on. Im seeing the consultant again at 9am anyway tomorrow so I think this helped keep me at home for now.

After looking back at what I wrote in my diary with Phoebe's pregnancy I had the same kind of thing with her on and off for a couple of days before going in to be examined to find that I was 2cm dilated and 80% effaced. Just hope this little lady doesnt think she can do exactly the same thing as Phoebe did

Lisa - Fingers crossed for tomorrow and I hope everything goes well and to plan and you have your little lady in your arms soon. Sending you lots of pain free labour dust

Glad everything is ok with you Rachel.

Everyone keeps talking about "niggles" as though they are something specific. What is that meant to refer to? I just thought niggles were any little complaint we might have, which we've been discussing all pregnancy.

Had a terrible night's sleep last night. Could NOT get comfortable. My OH had a photo shoot at our apartment last night, and we ordered pizza. The acid reflux was so uncomfortable, and by 6am I had trapped wind which was EXCRUCIATING!!!! Anyone else have exceptionally painful wind these days? I'm just wondering if it's my IBS flaring up.

Yeah, I went out for a meal a few weeks ago for my sister's birthday and the food was gorgeous but the wind was so painful it woke me up and I thought I was in labour (TMI - until I passed some serious gas).I was pretty much rolling around on the bed in pain.

Full term today and I finish work tomorrow - whoop whoop

 

[sar35]

thinking of you tomorrow hodbert, hope it all goes well, glad all was ok Rachael x

 

[millward329]

Please can someone tell my baby to stop hurting my body because I have one month till EDD. My rib pain is so uncomfortable nothing seems to work. Just took painkillers and think I will have to go back to bed which is really boring! Little Michael you need to get dropping soon....

 

[beccybobeccy]

yay for one month to go Susie....

Good Luck for tomorrow Lisa xx

 

[jms895]

Evening ladies! Everyone ok?

The snow has stopped and we have been food shopping

 

[jojo-m]

Been a bit of an emotional wreck tonight, first night since Paul gone away and I put little man to bed then couldn't stop blubbing! I'm ok now think it's just the hormones, feeling a bit abandoned. He's rang me twice already but being rational isn't my strong point tonight x

 

[naomicourt]

Glad everything is ok Rachael.

Good luck for tomorrow Lisa! Everybody will be thinking of you. Can't wait to hear all about it.

Congrats on full term Tracey! Any day for you now.

I hope baby drops for you soon Susie. Shouldn't be long now and it's such a relief when it happens.

How are you getting on with baby Joe Sarah? I hope you are managing to get some sleep.

How are you Jade? Any more signs of baby coming soon? I haven't had anything. No aches or pains at all. Getting a bit worried now that baby won't come on time.

How long has he gone away for Jo? Hopefully not too long.

 

[boobaby]

Hi again everyone, sounds like it's been a busy day for us all and it's so exciting as we get closer to meeting our babies!
I went for my scan to see if baby is breech and am pleased to say that she is well behaved and is definitely head down so no ECV - phew!
Sonographer did however let me know that bubs is not on the small size, looking like 7lb at the mo so should be around 8 and a half to 9lb on deliverry. Eeks! x x x

 

[jojo-m]

Great news on head down down boobaby!

He only gone away for a week Naomi I'm just upset cos it was unnecessary, snowboarding with a pal is not that important x

 

[lovealittle1]

Hi lovely ladies. So sorry I have been crap at keeping up in here. Hope everyone is doing well. Lisa - you must be so excited!! I will have you in my thoughts all day. I have had very noticeable amounts of increased cm the past few days could be bits of my plug comin away. I am not sure if I want baby to arrive early or not. I am very undecided on that topic. I keep getting told how small I am for how far along I am. I certainly don't feel small! Sending lots of love and well wishes to everyone xo

 

[hodbert]

Hey ladies, had doc apptmt today, no changes so I prob would have gone way over anyway and end up being induced, at least thats what I am telling myself! Am totally freaking out about tomorrow though and ended up in tears earlier. It's stupid and I want baby girl to be here but I'm terrified of the process to get her here!!

Anyway, here is today's bump pic, for Regina in particular , and a lil outfit we bought today.

 

[lovealittle1]

Lovely bump Lisa and love the outfit

 

[Jolene]

Jojo. These hormones aren't very helpful right now are they!

Lisa, it's friday here already......can't believe I still have to wait for Friday to get there, lol. All the best for later.

I must get done, have a docs appointment today and then he goes off on holiday until the 28th!!!!! Thankfully he will be back the day before I'm 38wks so I'm sure (lol) she won't try to come on her own before that. I don't want someone else delivering my baby. He delivered Jess and he's been my gyn/obs since. Well hopefully he says today that all still looks snug and I am good to go for another week and a half!

Boobaby, yay for head down and good luck with your 9 pounder...

 

[Disneydancr]

Yay Lisa! You are going to be great! And you look great!

 

[LittleMrs]

Lisa, you see the best thing is that you get to use all the xmas outfits - there's an awesome one in tescos over here with reindeer antlers! It's enough to make me want to go into labour! You'll be fine and you're right, you may well have gone over - apparently for first babies the average time for baby to be born is 8 days over. Your bean is well and truly cooked, you're going to be a great mum and we're all really jealous (in a good way) that you get to meet your little girl soon. All the people I've spoken to say it hurts, but not as bad as you think because each contraction is closer to the end and closer to your baby. All I can think of is that I know when I've broken bones it's never hurt as much as I thought it would - I think the anticipation is probably much worse.

Good luck Lisa ooooh soon be more baby pictures to see
