[Mel+Bump]

Yay for all the new july rubies being born!!!

Tudor rose...Im with you on being one day overdue. Im feeling positive really. Yesterday I felt rubbish as for some reasom I expected something to happen and it just didnt. Today just feels like another day. Ive got my sweep at the midwife today, and if all else fails, at least she can tell me whats happening down there. Bring on the smiles or the tears later! lol

 

[LukeandJo]

Jo doesnt want to go overdue.
40wks on Wednesday and a MW appointment as well.

She has been offered a stretch and sweep that day if nothing occurs in the meantime.

[mightyspu]

Congrats Janidog! and Cherryglitter!

 

[NG09]

So I'm on the final countdown, 6 days to go or I'll go to the dreaded 'OVERDUE' status!!!

Really hope things get moving as I'm with the rest of you girls, I really don't want to be induced.

Congrats to the new mummies and to those still waiting and overdue xx

 

[mightyspu]

Well ladies I had my amazing daughter at 6:53pm. I will write a birth story later read if u dare!' lol good luck!

I missed this post! Please could you confirm the date, I note you are from BC and I have no idea what the time difference would make that!

Thanks

 

[Janidog]

Still in labour!!!! Contractions seem to be all over the place, sometimes 9mins or 4mins and others can be every 25mins!!!!!! Another midwife will be coming to see me this afternoon.

Just been out for a cuppa and flap jack

 

[mightyspu]

Have not seen Wannabubba this morning.............?

 

[bungle]

Still here janidog?? Hope alls going well and ur coping ok with the contractions.

Methinks Wanna must have had something exciting happen in the night - she's ALWAYS on here first thing! I hope so anyway, bless her x

 

[wannabubba#4]

I'm still here lol - didn't sleep great so when I did eventually get over at 4am I had a really long lie in haha and then my DS was palying games on pc, so I have just got him off.

Still nothing from me too - but have just phoned my CMU and am going in for another sweep today at 2pm -everything crossed for me please ladies -9 days overdue now!!!!
Was s'posed to make an appt for Fri, but reckon if I get in today and it still does nothing, then I can beg for another one Sunday -really done want to be induced, my lovely wee birthing pool is jsut sitting here waiting to be blown up and used!! lol

Just found a section in my notes about cervical scoring (think it must be the Bishops score) and I only scored 7 on Monday. Seemingly if its 6 or less than your likely to go into labour, and I was 7!!! - so why did my mw get my hopes up so much grrrrrr

Anyway, fab news Parkep and Cinnamon on your babies.

Yay Janiedog on your waters going but do you realise your jumping the queue lol haha -both here and in homebirth hopefuls section - lol. Good Luck hun, hope all goes well today. You'll be brilliant!!!

LukeandJoe -Every day since 37 weeks DH and I said today will be the day, or definitlely this weekend or something similar haha -and here we are 9 bloody days over and still nothing -hope Jo doesn't have the same fate haha - it's really frustrating reaching that 40w date and then still being pregnant.

Hope all the other overdue mummies are going okay today and those with the dreaded overdue date coming up, hope you all go soon; but AFTER me haha - only kidding ( a bit )

xx

 

[wannabubba#4]

Congrats to Lori (justmarried24) -see from Fbook she had her little princess just after midnight yay

Many congrats hun -hope you are getting a well deserved rest now !!!! Well done mummy

No name as yet, but weighed 7 lb 10 oz

And just made it a Cancerian lol -my lil one is gonna be Leo now I expect haha

xx

 

[LukeandJo]

its getting frustrating now!!!
But thank you for your kind wishes.

 

[wannabubba#4]

its getting frustrating now!!!
But thank you for your kind wishes.

Tell me about it haha

To be honest week 39- 40 (give or take afew days either side) was probably the hardest IMO -then I became resigned to the fact that he'll come when he is ready and not before and there's nothing I can do about it lol. Just desperate to meet hime now, whether its spontaneous or induced on Tues -sure as hell cant be MUCH longer now!!!!

xx

 

[mightyspu]

I am just worried that I will call for my induction on Wednesday and be told that they are fully booked and I will have to wait longer..

 

[Janidog]

Well contractions have now got to the point where im getting 1 and hour so not looking good That will teach me to jump the queue

Midwife is due to come out this afternoon to check me over and to take a swab - does anyone know if contractions stop altogether that i will have to go to hospital to be induced???

 

[wannabubba#4]

Janidog - some mw's say 48 hrs but I read on a home birth website the other day that NICE guidelines are 72 -96 hrs (with careful monitoring of mum of course - i.e regular temperatures being taken as the the risk is of infection)

Was it definitely your fore waters ? -did mw check? -it may have been your hind waters or may just be slow leaking rather than gone totally

Or maybe your body is just having a well deserved rest before the labour really starts -here's hoping !!! Good Luck !!!

 

[wannabubba#4]

I am just worried that I will call for my induction on Wednesday and be told that they are fully booked and I will have to wait longer..

Hope not hun - have you spoken to your mw about this possibility?? Surely at 14 days over they wouldn't want you going much further over for fear of the placenta becoming incompetant.



Hope your sweep works on Sat hun and then you'll not need to wiat until Wed anyways xxxx
