I had a successful mw appt earlier, although she wasnt having any of my attempts at bribery for her to do a sweep. Lol.
She said hes in the perfect position for birth and that all the period cramps, back ache etc are all good signs. She wrote engaged on my notes rather than the last couple of times 3/5 etc so i wonder if that means he fully engaged? Dont suppose it really matters anyway.
She has booked my next appt for the 4th July (40+1) at my house when she said she will do the first sweep.
She did say she doesnt think she will see me then though.....

So am feeling quite positive that things are happening overall.

will have a go at catching up now :)
 
BB - I'm actually hoping to bribe my midwife into giving me a sweep! I'm going in a few hours and have my fingers crossed that they might do one soon. I doubt it though, they seem to not like doing sweeps or even checking cervixes until labor...
 
Good luck tomorrow morning DM, I hope it all goes well :) I know you weren't looking forward to it so I hope it won't be too bad xx

Mel- the wee sample made me laugh! I was in the dog house after accidently leaving mine by the sink :haha:

Hope you feel better Caz, I had a day like that the other day. Today seems to be my 'rage' day :) Poor Martyn! x
 
I just think it will be more real. Am trying to focus on the baby and not think about the op but I really don't want it. I want my vbac. Need to employ a wizard to get the baby out by magic I think.....
 
Congratulations Sherri, Anna and Freckles, glad babies are here safe and all went well xx

Good luck at your appointment DM x

MrsWez i hope your next on the birth list, you've waited long enough for this little rainbow x

Haven't read much but i hope everyones feeling well x
 
Caz - hugs - some days are just more emotional. Hope your hubby doesn't have to work too long and he can give you a hug.

Doods - hope the rage calms down!!

Mel - thats horrible, why did the wee sample not make it to the hospital??!!

Linds - good luck for tomorrow, you'll be fine though.

BB - yippee sounds like a great mw appointment! So exciting that you won't be long.

SB - hope the dinner works! It sounds like it kept you busy.

Clare - hope you enjoy catching up with your little bro. Could be exactly what you need to take your mind off baby.

I think I'm in the minority right now but I feel good! Not tired despite the lessening sleep, I don't feel huge, my backs not as bad as it has been and my skin isn't bad either. Maybe I'm having a late bloom but I'm actually really enjoying myself right now. Just like having some chill out time and being able to be out with my friends and not working! I know as time goes on I'll be hoping the baby comes out soon but for now I'm okay with my due date and waiting another 3.5 weeks. I probably sound a complete weirdo for saying this!!

weirdo...:rofl:

I have no idea why it didnt make it to the hospital!! Weird huh?
 
Ha ha thanks Mel, don't get me wrong I am sooo excited to see my baby but I don't feel too bad at the moment. I thought I'd be immobile and huge by now but I'm okay. I think the fact I have the NCT girls really helps as they give me some social life so I'm just enjoying that for now. I'm sure in a week I'll be gagging for the baby to come out though!!
 
DM - good luck for your pre-op tomorrow. Look forward to hearing how it goes.

Hann - so glad you are feeling good. It's such a great feeling to be feeling great now especially as we have a few weeks left still. Long may it continue!!!!

Thanks for all of your lovely messages and hugs - it means a lot to me. Neel has gone for a run and is picking me up some chocolate on his way back. Bless him - I'm a lucky girl.

xx
 
Wow, so many news to catch up with since last night.

Anna and Freckles, congratulations on the baby boys! So exciting :) Please post some pictures!

Freckles, I am so impressed by how quickly everything happened. I'm glad you didn't give birth in the car. Did you have any signs that you might go into labor before your water broke? Or did it just happen out of nowhere?

Wez, glad you got your maternity leave. Yey! You deserve some sleep and rest after all the crazy hours you've been working.

Doodle, hope Holly is okay and that the rage eases up. I've had those rage days and they're not fun. Nothing seemed to make it better...well, maybe ice cream...lol

Hann, I'm glad you're feeling great. You deserve it! :)

Mel, that urine sample in your purse cracked me up. Way to go!

Caz, enjoy the chocolate! It's really nice of your husband to pick some up for you.

SB, that eggplant parm sounds delicious. I made it once and it did take a long time. Sadly, my husband doesn't like eggplant, so I didn't bother to make it again just for me. We might have to go out for Italian at a local place. I hope it works for you :)

DM, good luck tomorrow!

Bb, glad your appointment went well. Sounds like you're so close. I didn't think they did sweeps before the due date unless there was some issue. Plus, I hear they hurt a bit. I'm going to wait till 40wks to beg for one.

Sorry if I forgot anyone.

I got back from my MW appointment a couple of hours ago. Last week my baby was head down, but not engaged at all and today the MW said she's further down in my pelvis. Here the stations are from -5 to +5 (-5 the head is completely free and +5 the head is crowned). I am a -2. It's not a zero, but it's something. Plus, my cervix is 75% effaced and .5cm dialated. I still don't have any real contractions, though. I felt something yesterday really low but they only lasted about 5 sec or so and there were only 3 of them. Probably BH.

Meanwhile, I am also done working. I thought I had one more student to tutor for this week and next week, so I called before I went in yesterday and the secretary said "yeah, you're still on for tonight." So, I get all dressed up and drive over and get there early. I chat with the secretary and then I'm waiting for his other tutor to wrap up, so we can start Math...5min go by...then 10min...then the secretary went in to make sure they didn't lose track of time. Turned out that his other tutor was going to do both sessions and no one bothered to tell me or the secretary. The only upside to going in was chatting with the secretary and getting a huge home-made black and white cookie.

Now I'm just hanging out with my feet propped, hoping that the swelling is going to go down. We finally fixed the pool filter and it's all up and running. Yesterday I took a swim, which is supposed to help with swelling. I even did some yoga stretches under water, which felt great. I should go jump in again, but since I already showered and got dressed for my MW appointment, I'm feeling too lazy to get another shower to get the chlorine off. I'm so lazy today.
 
BV that sounds like a good MW appointment and yet again I am jealous of your pool!!

Its our wedding anniversary on Monday and I have booked two things today, one is a photography session for just after the baby is born, a lady comes to us so should be hassle free and as its our first anniversary its meant to be 'paper' so thought that was fitting. And I was going to cook a nice meal in the evening until I saw its meant to be 31 degrees on Monday so I have just booked a table outside on the river at Gaucho Grill. Mmmm LOVE their steaks. Hopefully Greg will appreciate the efforts! I thought I would be feeling too immobile to go for dinner which is why we thought we would eat in but I'm excited about going out now!
 
any of u guys had itchy hands through your pregnancy?
 
Samzi that is what I have been going through for the last week. If there is no rash then it can be a sign of Obstetric Cholestasis which is rare but should still be checked out. Try not to google it either! even if thats what it is its not as bad as some websites make out, just a bit of extra monitoring and blood work. Hopefully it goes away and is nothing serious.
 
Samzi - i did and it turned out to be obstetrics cholestasis. Do your feet itch too? I couldnt sleep nor functiin with the itch especially at night. Its worth mentioning to your midwife

DM - its so feckin annoying getting these contractiins and nothing happens. I think our little girls are taking the piss. I've had period type cramps all night and a "clear out" but yet nothing :( :(
Tomorrow i have my consultants appointment hope they check to see if there is anything happening to my cervix. This is worth than the two week wait symptom spotting and i tried concieving for 62 months before Grace!
Hope they turn into labour for you xx
 
I haven't, Samzi, they have been twitching to kill someone or something but never itchy.

DM, she loves to be a drama queen already!

BV, sound like your appointment went great! :thumbup:

caz, I hope you enjoy the chocolate.

Doodle, hope Miss Holly feels better soon.

BB, glad your appointment went well too.

SB, now that I have more time on my hands, I think I will attempt eggplant parm. We'll see how effective it is.

I'm getting serious acid reflux in my throat. It feels like it's on fire.
 
Hann, your anniversary plans sound lovely! And the prego pool party is back on. It's too bad you all live so far. It would be quite hilarious to have a bunch of pregos splashing around in the pool. It would drive our dog nuts. He still can't figure out how to jump in properly. He just whines because he can't join in.

DM, hang in there. Your body is really testing you. Just think that in less than a week you'll finally meet your daughter :) I wish I knew when mine is going to make an appearance.

Samzi, no itchy hands for me. I do have itchy feet since I got bitten by mosquitoes this weekend. Not fun!
