Yay congrats to Kirsty - I only have one more bump buddy due to pop now -Justmarried (Gossipgirl not due til Nov lol -I'd better be before her lol) and then I am left behind for sure haha. Oh well!!!

Well done Kirsty, long labour but you done brilliantly on G&A and pethidine only, and I bet she is totally worth it all. Gorgeous name too, wel ldone chick!!!!

Good Luck for today cherry and hope this is it for you too Parkep - try and kee pus updated if you can.

Spu- you sound right down today, just wanted to send hugs your way - -we'll both have our babies soon hun. CANT stay in there forever xxxx

All the other ladies waiting, hope something happens soon and that all niggles and twinges are positive, any sweeps go brilliantly and that we have lots more babies very soon.

Still nothing here - poor DH is very disappointed - he was sure that I'd have a sweep and hey presto we'd have a baby... but not to be !!

There's always my second chance sweep on Fri, then induction next Tues -so 1 week at the most for me now. Cannot believe I am 41weeks pregnant now .

Have a good day ladies, hope the sun is shining for you all -pissing down here FUN FUN FUN Summer hols!!!!!! xxx

Ah sorry I was sounding down, I was quickly updating because I needed to go and jump hubby before he went to work! Feeling quite relaxed now, I have a plan - need to book another sweep tomorrow (for Saturday) and after that it is induction, which we know I don't want, but it will be a means to an end, and there is no point worrying about it!

(If I keep repeating this to myself, I might believe it! )

I feel exactly the same -funny isn't it?? I remember cherry saying something similar when she reached about 41 weeks too. Its just resignation that baby might not be in any rush and after 9 months, well 1 more week can't kill us!!!

So I do NOT want induced, do NOT want to have to go to hospital to labour and do not WANT to still be pregnant next week but at least I have a date to focus on and hopefully by this time next week (getting induced at 08:30am) I will be well on my way to holding my little man

And another sweep for Friday in between then and now so still hope xxxx

Totally OT now -my DH was picking up my dad and fam from the airport last night (in my car cos its bigger than his) and hit a pot hole and has totally fecked the front tyre aarrghhh -jsut received an email saying hunny dont drive the car -it's dangerous lol thanks babe!!! My lunch plans with my sis and cuddle with my nephew may be out the wiondow now!!

Have already asked my dad if he'll take it to the garage and get new tyres and the tracking done but what am I s'posed to do now?? Bored bored bored lol.

xx

 

[mightyspu]

I'd lend you my car, I used to drive 100 miles a day and poor Gus is probably very bored! It is a bit of a schlep to Bonny Scotland though. What a downer though, does he not know that venturing out of the house is a momentous occasion for us Preggoes?

 

[wannabubba#4]

Good Luck to MRSTJ today too -just remembered its her c-sect date today.

All the best hun, thinking of you too xxx

 

[bunnyg82]

Hey everyone! Just popping in to say hi really!

I see some people have had sweeps on their due date. I have a midwife appointment on Friday which is 2 days before my due date - what do you reckon the chances are of her doing a sweep for me?

I am hoping I don't make it to Friday, but I think my boy is gonna keep me wait! x

 

[Tudor Rose]

mine didnt do a sweep yesterday, but im seeing the consultant tomorrow and MW said he may do one tomorrow.

every time i move like walk to the kitchen etc it brings on really strong BH but if i sit and rest im ok! when will they turn into the real deal im gettin bored now!

 

[mightyspu]

it depends on your area, or the individual mw, My first was 3 days after my edd, and in my area, they do them around 40 weeks if it is your first, but at 41 weeks for subsequent babies.

Your mw may book you in for one at the appointment, but I don't know if she will do one for you then and there, they don't need any specialist equipment, just some gloves and lube!

 

[bunnyg82]

Thank you! I guess I can always ask anyway can't I and see what she says! xx

 

[mightyspu]

yup, there is always asking! Hope she books one for you, booking them is simple, as is the procedure, takes minutes!

 

[Janidog]

Feeling quite tearful this afternoon just feeling frustrated and thinking its never going to happen. Why doesn't he want to come out now so i can have my home birth, i really do not want to go to hospital

 

[Tudor Rose]

just after 1pm i lay on the couch just dozing befor ei have to do the school run and between then and 2.20pm i have 4 very strong pains spaced apart. it felt different from the braxtons, my bump when tight and i had a lot of discomfort and it eased quite quickly after 30 seconds, not sure if it could be contractions (considering its my 3rd i should know) but gotta walk for an hour now picking the kids up so fingers crossed things might be moving.

 

[lauram87]

Was having contractions from wednesday friday night they disappeared woke up saturday morning to a real strong contraction then pop waters went at 8:45 got to hospital at 9:30 and oliver arrived at 10:38 all happened so quickly and now have the biggest grin on my face!!!

Congrats Laura -sounds like everything went really well too. Enjoy your lil man xxxxx

lol -but ppl come on -queue please haha, some of us have been waiting ages lol

Wonder what exactly triggers the birth??? I mean I know when I ovulated and probably conceived (can only be between two dates - which were two days apart) so my dates for EDD were pretty accurate and still I am 1 week overdue! Wish I knew!

Janidog -still early days hun -hope you get your home birth, they are letting me go til 13 days over at home ,then induction. So hope it doesn't come to that -have my pool all ready and I will be so disappointed if I have to end up going in.

Bunny- no harm in asking -I know some of the liverpool ladies had sweeps at 39weeks, but here it's policy to wait until 40w for first timers, and 41w for second/ subsequent babies UNLESS medical reason for earlier intervention (but this would be consultant /doctor decision rather than mw I think). Due to my spd ,my mw would have done one at 40w ( despite baby number 4) but my baby was too high in pelvis, and sitting free soit would have been dangerous. They cannot do a sweep if baby is free from pelvis, cervix is completely closed and posterior or if there is low lying placenta issues.

Hope everyone is having a good day - apart from the £140 it just cost me for two new tyres I am having a good day -been out, had lunch and got to visit my baby nephew.

Quite fancy having a baby myself now though lol -still no twinges though xxx

Thanks hun, well at my appointment last week she said he was "well down" and then wrote 3/5ths engaged in my notes, so fingers crossed! Will let you know what she says, if I make it there!!

Congrats Laura and good luck Tudor!

Just a shout out to another fellow mummy, Cinnamon who is currently in labour! Her midwife thinks she should have her baby today so will let you know when I hear anything xx
