Cherry- don't worry u will cope I'm sure!

I've just been looking on Internet and the pain I'm experiencing is definately
early real labour contractions!!! Yay for me!

BUT it did say it can still last a few days. I've been having them 2 days now, today being more intense and they are now half hour or so apart but still more of a dull numb ache than unbearable pain!

Am praying something will happen tomorrow but I reckon after my sweep Monday that will kick it all off! Keeping hopeful!!!

Good luck to all unother July mummies - let's get these babies all out next week (or sooner please!)

feeling quite excited now!!!!

Hey all

A friend from work who was due 20/7 had her little girl this morning. Im so happy for her, but also so sad for myself....isnt that awful!!!
Hoping something happens soon!

Can totally relate to this -I am guilty of feeling a bit sad when ppl have their babies too- espec when they were due after me. I know 2 girls due beginning Aug and please please please please let me have my baby first

Come on all these overdue lazy July bubbas -time to make an entrance now!!

congratulations crossroads!!!!

I'm going into a midwife led unit so don't have option to have epidural there only gas and air and pethadine. If I need epidural I have to go to Shrewsbury hospital about half hour away so I'm praying I will cope! Arghhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Can't wait to see some pici's of ur new bubs xx

Hello,

As my husband posted, baby Molly Alice Venn was born on Friday 16th July @ 5:12pm weighing 7lbs and 12oz. It was an 'interesting' experience and being in labour for 3 days was, well..an experience.

I'll post a birth story soon. Well done to everyone who's delivered recently and I hope that all the late ones starting popping out soon.

The midwives all said that the early July babies had all been late at our hospital and they were inundated. Infact they closed the ward several times whilst I was there!

[wannabubba#4]

Congrats crossroads - so happy for you hun - hope you are recovering well and you and bubba are enjoying getting to know each other.

I am planning home birth -so G&A and birth pool for me only, as long as all goes to plan of course xx

Do you have a name yet? xx

I'm also going to a midwife led unit thatisat the bottom of my road as opposed to the nearest big hospital which is 30mins away at best. So I will also be going without the option of an epidural and keeping my fingers crossed that I can cope without it. Good luck! ;-)

 

[mightyspu]

Hiya girls! Another one to tick off the list here! Baby Evie-Mai was born at 12:17pm on the 15/07/2010, 6lbs 13oz! Will do a birth story shortly! Good luck to the rest of you! xx

Congrats! Bizarrely, we chose Evie May as our girl name! We are having a boy though!

I'm lying on sofa - ordered by OH to keep my feet up as every time I spend more than 10mins on my feet they balloon. Plus my backs so sore that it's hard to move around too much. The self-pity continues....

been there, done that and bought the t-shirt.

How do u get past it? I don't even want to answer the phone, can't be bothered to talk to anyone and listen to them analyse how I'm feeling...

I regularly hide from people. I have nothing to say to people, but still they phone and expect conversation!

Am also hoping to go to a midwife unit, so will also be doing it on G&A and peth (fingers crossed anyway)

 

[bungle]

It's funny though how people who know me really well seem to be really crap at sensing my disinterest in conversation! If they want to check I'm ok they could do that within 20seconds or better still just send me a text otherwise leave me alone!!!!

 

[cherryglitter]

Well after yesterdays 'fiasco' im still here and babyless.
Still got a funny tummy so god knows whats going on. Im thinking he might've moved position or something though, hope he hasn't gone back to back!

2 more days before induction! xxx

 

[Janidog]

Oh I hope you go in to labour soon Cherry

No epidural for me either as im having a home birth, with tens machine, pool and gas and air. I think my LO has dropped a bit more cause his movements feel lower down but it doesn't mean it will lead to anything

 

[mightyspu]

bungle - had a really stilted convo with my Mum on the phone, we got passed the "how are you's" and then I stopped speaking. Because no one REALLY cares about my housework regime or where the cat is sleeping now. Or how many times I have got a good score on Spider solitaire. Or how good "homes under the hammer" was. And people phoning and asking what I have been up to just highlights that I do NOTHING with my day! Still, I realised yesterday that my entire family jump whenever the phone rings, and they are all hugely on tenterhooks, which is nice. At least they are torturing themselves as well as me! mean? yes, but, I think I have a right to be!

Cherry, am I going to have to come over there and have a word with baby Glitter? COME ON BABY, THIS IS NOT FAIR, GIVE MUMMY A BREAK!

Ooh, good news Jani, I felt extra pressure on my hips yesterday, it led to a more pronounced waddle which was very sexy! still, all moving on in the right direction!

Looks like there are a few of us who don't want an Epi, hope we all get our wishes!

Its feels like my hips might split open between my legs if that makes sense?? I hope this one comes soon otherwise i will have to be induce which no doubt means i will have a epidural cause im useless when it comes to hospitals and pain

 

[mightyspu]

yeah, mw yesterday said an epi is possible if I am induced. boo. DH is crap in hospitals too, which is why we chose the birth centre. And I don't like the hospital in Reading, which is the closest place I can go (hospital-wise) Am going to have a day of vigarous cleaning I think!
