Congrats to Ladybug im hoping my bubs will be on the outside by this time tomorrow!

Spu - im so sorry I would ask for another sweep too, my MW was guna give me two before an induction as it sometimes takes that apparently. I would happily give u these pains if I could. I want this baby out more than anything but my god, these pains are unbearable and ive only just started!!!!!

Definately more regular now, im using a contraction timer on my phone and they are now every 3-6 mins lasting about 30 seconds each time.

Tried to have a sleep but the pains are too much! So got up again and had some food. I seem to get thru the pain more if im doing something as my mind is elsewhere.

Bubs is still moving like a mad thing too which is really uncomfy!!!

Roll on this afternoon!!!!!!

Congrats to all the girls who have popped and who are about to!!

Im still here and waiting - at least I know it's tomorrow and thing's are going to be on their way.

42 weeks pregnant eh, whod've thought! xxxx

 

[bungle]

Oh cherry, 42wks?? Ur nothing short of an inspiration to still be sounding so upbeat! Good luck for tomoro xx

 

[bunnyg82]

Aww congrats for all the new births since my last visit to this thread! And lots of luck to those ladies that are in the middle/start of things happening!

Oh my cherry! Lots of sympathies! I am so impatient already and I haven't reached my due date yet - I can't imagine having to wait another 2 weeks on top of that! xx

 

[x_Kiirsty_x]

Can't believe how many of us are holding on!! lol

 

[merlotgirl]

Hey ladies, first chance I've had to get back on here!!

As I can see you know , Abigail Jayne arrived screaming into the world last weds 14th at 6:19 pm. Only a mere 45 hours after my waters went and 40 hours after contractions started!! We had a pretty torrid time and I will write it up into a story at some point.

That said I'd do it all again to get such a perfect little poppet at the end of it!!

Abby is beautiful and growing every day already and feeding so well ( though we had to abandon breastfeeding due to various birth complications and her being unable to latch afterwards- I do feel guilty but she is doing so well on formula that happy baby= happy mummy)

Well done to those who have all had babies in the last week or so, and best of luck to all those in labour orating to go!!

 

[merlotgirl]

That should have said waiting to go- blinkin phone!!

 

[x_Kiirsty_x]

Congrats Merlotgirl x

 

[MRSTJ]

Congrats to all the new july mummies so far.

Well im still here waiting and it looks like i wont be getting my vbac that i wanted unless anything happens in the next few hours. Which i doubt very much as i have no signs what so ever, just feeling rotten today as i have a cold. I surpose i should look on the brighter side that all being well i should be holding my baby girl tommorrow when i have my c section.

Just want to wish the rest of you lovely ladies all the best ( just incase i dont get a chance to post anything else before tommorrow ), and hopefully the next time i update you all will be to let you know on the safe arrival of my baby girl.xx

Well, after having a bit of a paddy at the Berkshire midwives office, (mw has gone on holiday and left me the number of the community mw office, which is only in operation until 1pm everyday and even then they sporadically answer the phone, and even THEN they pass you around the houses until you turn into a gibbering snotfest) I have just had another sweep, and will have another one booked for Saturday, which makes it the 24th. Which is hopefully enough to get little wiggler moving. He is still nicely engaged, and hb is good, so I will be walking to Tesco and back for ingredients for tonight's dinner - fajitas. Not the most healthy of dinners, but someone somewhere else on the forum read that summer babies are later than winter babies because Mum is better hydrated and better nourished. So I am too healthy! total bollocks I know, but hey!

Oh, and after being a bit of a smugster, I have finally got stretchmarks. my future as a swimwear model is over!

[mightyspu]

Yay! i realised after posting that she was going to be induced yesterday and so it was only going to be this morning, but I am sure you can forgive my preggo brain! We are all chuffed for her, looking forward to her update!

Me too Yay - had my sweep too , really thought lil guy was still gonna be too high, but he was fixed at the brim and 2cm dilated (normal for mutipara) and waters bulging -all good signs seemingly haha - so come on baby lol

DH has texted me so many times haha -when will we know ??? lol

Prob wont work but at least cevix was favourable and baby was low enough -lost some plug on examination too, so yay for losing plug -aren't we all mental haha? losing bodily fluid and gunk and we are happy haha. Midwife made me give her strict directions to my house too, she wasn't even going to bother booking my induction as she is sure I am going to go soon -ish. I made her make induction anyways lol -need that date to focus on at least. So induction booked for 27th July at 08:30 am -not for pitocin or anythhing to augment labour, just straight into labour suite and get waters broken as she said I dont need anything else -waters bulging just now and technically could have them broken now haha.

So exciting stuff -nothing happening yet though but at least there is some hope!!!!

Good luck for tomorrow (if not before) MRSTJ and cherryglitter too fx'd for spontaneous labours overnight, but if not babies by tomorrow anyway.

Congrats again Merlotgirl -long labour hun, well done to you

Any news from kirsty -her mw appt was 14:40 I am sure -wonder if she's on her way to delivery.

xx

 

[mightyspu]

I hope no news is good news for Kirsty!

I hope no news is good news for Kirsty!

Yay thanks -silly as it seems -I am jsut glad that I could at LEAST have a sweep haha -everyone else wa shaving sweeps, twinges or even better babies lol and I have been having nothing haha -feel kind of more involved now.

Yay I had a sweep!!!

(hope it works -but if it doesn't at least it points towards the possibilty a baby may come soon haha -was beginning to think I was broken)

 

[kirstylm]

Hi ladies. Quick update for u. Saw MW she is very pleased with everything. I'm 1 and half cm dilated and head is well and truly engaged.
These contractions are definately the real thing!
She did an internal, she said she could feel the head and she dis a really good sweep what there!
I'm continuing to lose mucus plug and the contractions are now much closer near to every 5 mins and pretty unbearable!
She has said that by tea time I will prob be at re birthing centre and may well have my baby in my arms by midnight!!!!!!!
Just gotta wait till I can't bear the pain any longer before i go in!
Hubby is on his way home now too!
I can't believe this is it, I think I will be in disbelief throughout the whole thing!
I'm finding it hard to talk thru contractions and have been going since 4am so nearly 12hrs so not sure how much longer I'll last at home!
Will let u know when bubs arrives praying it's before midnight!!!

 

[wannabubba#4]

All the best Kirsty -hoping to hear from you very soon!!!!

Stil nothing here yet but still hopeful lol -think I will be until tomorrow and then the realisation will hit me and then I'l be down again haha -emotional rollercoaster anyone? haha

And although I dont have any more appt's until my induction date (as mw is SURE i'll not need any) mw did say I can phone Friday morning and go and get another if I haven't gone by then -so thats 23rd lol not SO far away is it?

Gonna be a mummy (again lol) real soon and its getting real and exciting xxxx

 

[x_Kiirsty_x]

Good luck Kirsty & good luck all!!!

Wish my lo would hurry!! :[
