am also having a grrrrrrrrrr day. Need to go to the hospital to be checked out. I bet you they tell me I have peed myself. I know where pee comes from and what it smells/feels like. Will update when I get back.

Sorry you ladies are having a bad day. Sometimes it doesn't matter what anyone does you just feel like ripping people's heads off!

They tried to convince me of that too when I told them it was only a trickle. But you can pee out of two different holes. They did test me though and yup. waters.

Good luck! xx

How do they test? Do they do an internal?

Congrats on your little girl!!! She's adorable!

They had this swab that turns purple-ish if it's waters. Mine actually did work (dud test), so they put it under a microscope and looked at it and it was.

I've just read your birth story and I posted up x

Awww hun, not long now and he will be here before you know it!

I cant believe how much i miss being pregnant! It goes way to quick when they are here xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[kirstylm]

I think July is a bad month! There are way too many overdue people here! U poor girls!

I've just been bouncing for half an hour on my ball- come on baby let's prove the MW wrong!!!

Cherry- I feel for u I really do and just hope ur bubs is here before u know it!!!

I don't think anything is guna bring on labour, I read nipple stimulation can do but u have to do it for 2 hrs a day!!! Argh!

I guess I'll have to give into sex but I'm so uncomfy down there it's really not seeming very attractive to me at the mo!!

Might go for a long walk later!

Chin up girls!!! XXXXXXX

 

[merlotgirl]

Good luck mightyspu - hope it's your waters!!

Wannabubba- hope you are feeling better sweets- you definitely have more reason to moan than me. Fingers crossed you kick off soon so you can have the max amount of time together.

Afm- just had a complete hormonal rant and bawl at my long suffering DH - seriously he's been so sweet and understanding (and told me to nag as much as I need to to get things done) and I'm just this mad hormonal witch he has to put up with. The mans a saint!! Can't wait til these flippin hormones subside and I can go back to being me and not some weird alternative!!

Off to make a nice tea for him to make up for being a witch!

Cmon July babies- get a move on!!!

I'll tell you now girls, I'm 10 days over and NOTHING works!

Sex - flipping uncomfortable and literally has made no difference.
Orgasms - meant to start uterine contractions..they just make me need to wee more
Pineapple - sick of bloody pineapple and gives me a stomach ache.
RLT - gross
Chilli - all it does is make madam have a disco which is so sore at times, nothing else.
Walking - can only manage for 10 mins before I can no longer move because her head is in my cervix and it makes me stop still in my tracks - long walk, forget it!
Up and down stairs - just makes me need my inhaler!
Bouncing on my ball - has done nothing but is good for toning my bum, haha.

So there ya go..if they don't want to move, nothing is going to rush them (that's what I've decided!!) xxx

 

[kirstylm]

I don't disagree!!!

I'm just about ready to give up on everything and just feel like forgetting about it all and get on with things and try not to stress- only problem is, I can't do that it's kinda hard when every baby movement is so painful and can't move properly and everything else that goes with being heavily pregnant!!!

Thanks merlotgirl -I am feeling much better now, a nice chat with my wee sis, and some choccie biscuits and now I feel real bad for how I was earlier with DH. He has since come back and hasn't mentioned what a witch I was lol and I am going to have to be extra nice tonight haha. DD even just asked if I was feeling better -and she'd had her head bitten off earlier too

I really need to keep a check on my emotions

I am off now to the supermarket with DH to buy some nice things to nibble on for later, gonna watch some movies, snuggled up on the couch (cant DTD lol -too sore but some nice oxytocin/ feel good hormones might do just as well) and wait for labour to start haha -we have decided TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT haha -one of my fave mw's is on-call tonight, and I want her to deliver my wee man. Plus she delivered 2 home births last week and is looking for her hat- trick haha Plus come midnight, my b'day and I couldn't wish for a better present


Hope everyone else is doing okay ,love to mums, bumps and babies xxxx

 

[merlotgirl]

OMG!! DH just got off the phone to his mum who suggested we tried DTD tonight to get things moving!!

Poor DH is traumatised at having that conversation with his 74 year old quite straight and religous mum

 

[PrayinForBaby]

congrats prayingforbaby well done hun. Were you expecting a much bigger baby or smaller?

spu -oh maybe your waters babe- how exciting -Are you going in to get it checked out? good luck hun

MRSJT - hope the sweep works Wed hun or maybe you'll not need it - I have my first sweep on Wed (hopefully ,if the mw's can agree lol -keep getting different advice from different mw's -think I'll just refuse to move until they do one haha )

Merlotgirl- hope you manage to get a decent rest today -you must be exhausted, hopefullly baby will lbe along soon xx

So my dad flew off for a weeks holiday early this morning; am just hoping my lil guy isn't waiitng until he returns to make his appearance lol -papa will see you when he gets back; no need to wait lil gorgeous baby boy haha

Hope all the overdue girls have their babies real soon -it's my EDD tomorrow and I am patiently(well maybe not so patiently ) waiting in the queue

Have a good day ladies -let's have some more babies today, infact my fave mw is on-call tonight -so tonight would be great for me lmao, and it's my b'day 2morro and dont want to spend it with another day of grumping and watching for symptoms lol

xx

We were expecting a MUCH bigger baby! lol We had an ultrasound done the Friday before she was born and the tech estimated her to be 8 lbs 4 oz then...then they tried to do a weight on her when I had the scan to recheck my fluid levels on Thursday but they couldnt get a measurement since her head was too low..so I was full on expecting an 8.5-9lbs baby lol But she came out just a wee little 7 lbs 2.5 oz But I wouldn't trade her for anything! She is just absolutely perfect!

And thankyou everyone for the congrats and nice messages! BnB has been such a blessing to me during this pregnancy and I think I would have lost my mind without you all!

LOL!! That's hillarious!!

My MIL likes to tell me how her other son managed to trigger his baby's birth by DTD. I even said to her "TMI!"

Weird how it's suddenly fine to talk about these things!! I asked if she'd recommended any positions given my shape but apparently that wasn't funny

She just wants me to have baby tomorrow- it's her birthday!!

OMG Hilarious haha !!!!

It's funny how everyone(well almost) is desperate for us to have our baby's on their birthdays though isn't it?? My aunt's birthday was 6th ,my neighbour 11th, my ex-boss 12th and everyone of them has said 'oh have the baby that day!!!' lol
My DD didn't want to share - hers was 10th and my neice will actually be really angry if I have the baby on her birthday, which is 26th lol - me too haha - but for a different reason, I just don't want to wait that long lmao

lol excellent how funny!!! Are u guna take her advise?!! Lol!!

 

[mightyspu]

nope! no baby, rang the hospital and they wanted me to go in, only to confirm that it was not my waters, which I kind of knew, but would have appreciated not having to wait 2 hours in a stuffy airless room with the world's most uncomfortable chairs and a month old copy of some weekend supplement. (could be worse, the last time I was there the weekend supplement was 2 years old!)

they didn't do a swab with magic paper, just had a look and told me it was mucus. Yeah, that bit was mucus, but the stuff this morning was clear! But I know what you mean, Nicolatmn, I know where I pee from and this was not it!

This baby is staying in here forever!

sorry hun -you must be disappointed but it's very nomal to wonder or worry about increased CM/? Waters etc - I was convinced my waters had started trickling in my last pregnancy and went in to find out they hadn't.

xxx xxx

 

[merlotgirl]

Sorry mightyspu that the news is not better- fingers crossed you'll prove them wring in the next day or so

So the thought of DTD has clearly upset baby as my waters went at 9:15 tonight. Felt a pop then some fluid which has just kept trickling since... Followed almost immediately by a clearout (tmi sorry!!!!) went into the hospital as they wanted to check as my waters were quite pink..
All well with us both, definitely waters but probably hind waters. Not yet in established labour so have been sent home and told to go back on weds eve to be induced if nothing happens before...

And now to try and get some sleep!!

Ps really sorry to queuejump- really rude, unbritish and I really didn't mean too!!

Edited to add: midwife at the hospital banned us from DTD but took great delight in telling DH that ingestion was almost as good at starting labour off- his face was a picture- I'd managed to keep this fact from him so far!!

 

[shortie1990]

Well than, though I'd pop on just too say I've had the most perfect little boy I could ever have imagined (biased opinionn maybe )

He arrived on the 10(h ;uly at 23.42, had quite a rough time, lost a considerable amount of blood, and he came out with his hand near his face so I've really awquardly deep stitches, ill write a full story when I get home as I'm still in hospital.

He's just been fantastic, loves his sleep which is great so I've had time to recover! And he is the double of his Daddy, looks like I've had nothing to do with him

Riley Craig Taylor we have named him,my gorgeous little man!

Ill try and have a fiddle with my phone and see if I can put pictures on if not ill add them with the birth story

Xxx

 

[merlotgirl]

Great news shortie!! Congratulations Hun- looking forward to reading the birth story and hope you feel better and they let you out soon!!
