it was hard but i loved it haha and by the time came 2 push her out the painkillers had wore off. i had a 1st degree tare tho an 14 stiches but i wernt sore after haa

 

[kirstylm]

Well I kinda have some news! It's nearly 5am and the contractions have been back since 3.30am!

They are feeling same as before but with stabby pain right down below. I felt a big 'pop'
too during the last one which I don't know what it was?

I'm still laying in bed. Hubby due to get up for work in am
hour I'm guna tell him still to go as it could be ages yet or another false alarm! He works about 40 mins away but my mums down the rd.

Contractions are currently every 7-8ins apart lasting about a minute but definately still bearable so this could be another false alarm so trying not to get too excited!

Xxxxx

 

[kirstylm]

Ive also just lost my mucus plug!!!!! I think it was that anyway, was like a clear/cream coloured stringy jelly (no blood).
Contractions are continuing and getting a little closer together but not lasting as long which im glad as they are more painful now.
Oooh could this be it?
Cant wait to go see MW to find out whats going on!!!!! Roll on 2.40pm!!!!!!

fingers crossed kirsty! im off see the MW at 3.30pm just a check up i think doubt i.l get a sweep. well after a busy day of cleaning laundry and shopping all i got last night was a painful night of pelvic pain i honestly thought all the activity would kick start her off. a sister of my little sisters carer is going getting in duced today she is term plus 8. when shopping yesterday there was newborns everywhere, it was like when i was ttc and i would see bumps everywhere, yesterday was babies!!!! my 2 kids were seeing them too, my son was goig oh look at the tinyhands etc. i said thats how you little baby sis will be. every day he shouts at my tum come out baby! even he is fed up now bless him

well off to do the dreaded school run, everyday im faced with "aw you still here??? any signs????" Blah! but MIL will pick them up later so i only need to face them once today.

 

[Janidog]

ooh good luck kirstylm hopefully this is it

Sorry Tudor that you're still here

As for me, nothing!!!! DTD yesterday and hubby didn't even knock my plug out, i told him that he failed at his job he's says that we have to do it every day for it to work

 

[mightyspu]

Morning,

So it looks like my sweep did not work. feeling quite low. And the joints in my fingers are swelling from the cleaning yesterday. Don't know what to do with myself now.

Woohoo!! Hope this is something starting hun! It all sounds really positive!
I've been losing my plug (lost a HUGE glob of it on Saturday tea time) since Sat and also been having irregular pains. Some are really painful and others are really strong. They happen every 10-15 mins roughly but I can cope with them so not acutally sure whats happening!
Hope the midwife goes well and Im curious to see what she says with regards to labour and the pains you've been having as they sound similar to mine!! Good luck!!!!

Ah hun I know how you feel. It's so hard isnt it! And unfair!
Will mw give sweep another go or not? Have you had any signs at all? I've not had a sweep but Ive heard they can take a little while to work so maybe it will work soon!

Lots of love and labour dust!

MW has gone away for 2 weeks, so no.
I might phone the mw office and see if they will do another one. The only signs I had were a few hours afterwards and nothing since. They say if it's going to work , it'll work within 48 hours. And that is up in 20 minutes.

I would def ask for another one. I know a few people who have had 2 and the 2nd has worked. Fingers crossed hun.
I'm due to be induced the day after you (29th) so I know how frustrated you must feel as it feels like a lifetime away!!
Lots of labour dust

Thanks hon, it's the induction I really don't want, as it means I will have to go to the hospital I hate. And I would rather not have an epidural, which I may need if I am induced.

This is what worries me most too hun.

But at the end of the day (or this month at least lol ) we WILL have our babies in our arms and the labour, waiting etc will be a distant memory, I promise!! And there's still time for you to go spontaneously yet.

Good Luck today Kirsty, Lori, Tudor Rose and anyone else having pains ,niggles, mw appt's or sweeps etc -sounds like you'll NOT be needing the sweep thoguh Kirsty woohoo -exciting stuff, c'mon baby yay!!! Try and keep us updated hun, if you can.

My mw appt is at 2pm -not expecting to get my sweep though, as little lazy baby is still sitting awfully high, maybe a few hours bouncing on my ball will help before I leave -worth a shot I s'pose haha

DH has gone back to work so yay- NEVER thought Id' say that with a huge grin on my face lol - I dont know how it went yet -but he hasn't returned with a flea in his ear yet!!! He is not going to be popular I can guess but hell I don't care... I will have him here for two weeks once baby arrives; as it SHOULD be!! No point having paternity leave and NO baby haha. So I am quite happily waiting now - but still need you here by 26th July lil one -want my home water birth please xxxxxxxx

My DD is a Cancerian, and my eldest son is a Leo - so either way I will be blessed!!! In fact ,prob not related at all but my DS was a fabbie baby, slept through the night from 6 weeks and never grumbled ever haha -too much to ask for that again???

Sorry this is epic, have a fab day ladies - I have loft insulators coming -not fun!!! and the upstairs of my house looks like a bomb has hit because of it -the amount of stuff we keep up in the loft is ridiculous haha -cant wait to get it all back up there -out of sight, out of mind haha


Congrats to Ladybug -well done hun, looking forward to the whole story and pic and name xxx
