ooooh so exciting two more possible babes this weekend

Thanks for letting us know SB

 

[melissasbump]

Yay Wez! Thanks for the update SB!
So what happens, do you go over to the graduates thread once you have given birth, is there conversation going on over there or are we waiting till we all graduate? I have visions of being alone here talking to myself because you have all had your babies!!

 

[Hann12]

Thanks SB that's great to know! Good luck Wez!!

Squeeker - hope you feel better

Just had my first clary sage bath, it was lovely and relaxing.

Mel that will not happen! I think conversation will just start up on the other thread soon and eventually we will just shift to that one. I'm very certain you will go before me so don't worry about being last bump standing!
I'd say we just all keep an eye on both threads from now on!

 

[melissasbump]

Yeah good call! Ive just had millionaires cheesecake with raspberries on the side, i ve heard it brings on labour....

 

[Blue_bear]

Yay for Wez! Ive just had a run of really strong tightenings...prob just BH though so am not getting excited just yet!

Last update from Claire - Things were progressing well when she was checked at 8, being checked again at 11.30. Still very comfortable thanks to the epi.

Mel - I dont think you will be last standing at all, in fact i think you may be one of the next 'batch'

 

[samzi]

I will be last. just you watch. its just my luck il go overdue when everyone pops early lol

 

[caz_hills]

Wow went out for dinner tonight and so much has happened!

Good luck to Wez and Clare - thinking of you both and can't wait to hear your news! xxx

Hann and Melissa - we are all due at the same time so will hang on here together! I keep checking the graduate thread too - can't believe so many babies have come so quickly!!

Hann - sorry about your baking, such a shame.

Sorry I can't rememer anything else and I'm on my iPhone so can't look back!

AFM - had lovely Indian meal in Southall with hubbie for our anniversary. Sooooooo full!!! It was totally yummy and we have got take away to freeze as well. It was spicy so if spices help bring on labour then I can't think what could be better. But as usual no symptoms.... But I'm enjoying everyone elses progress and can't wait to hear news from Wez and Clare!

xx

Wez has been a bit quiet, so we never know! All the babies (apart from me ) that were due next week have either arrived or on their way, i want to be next!!! Let it be me, pretty please

I know how you feel, I was due on the same date as DM and so far LO has no intentions of coming out and the guesstimate her to weigh 8 pounds already- yikes!! I am due on Thursday but can see myself going way overdue
good luck to the new mommies to be

 

[BlueViolet]

SB, thanks for posting an update on Wez. I was just about to do it and did a quick scan and noticed you did. I didn't see my texts for a couple of hours. I'm so excited for her. I hope she can go to the hospital soon and things progress smoothly for her.

Hope everyone is having a good Saturday

This is random, but after the skimming I did, I seem to remember the question about the green poo. I think it's green when it hasn't been in the intestines long enough to oxidate. I wouldn't worry about it. The concern would be if it was red.

 

[kelzyboo]

Good luck claire and mrswez, will be looking for updates on FB, won't say a word until they've announced properly! Hope it goes perfectly for both of them and anyone else who decides to go in the night lol x

 

[emzeebob]

i got told green poop was too much potassuim(sp?) i was told to stop eating too many bananas last year as i wwent drs with green poop, have u been eating anything with lots of potassuim? x x x x

 

[amand_a]

Wow I go to my mums for the weekend and come back to so much exciting news!

Congratulations to DM and sparkle and good luck to Clair and Mrs Wez

As for who will go last I am tipping me! Technically I'm not due till the 22nd as thats the date I agreed to keep with the hospital. My scan edd was the 16th tho so fingers crossed.

 

[BlueViolet]

Wez just texted and said she's hooked up to monitors. She's 3cm dialated and 50% effaced. Sounds like things are progressing well

Emzee, I've never heard of potassium turning poop green. Could be. Here's a link with some possible causes:

https://altmedicine.about.com/od/gettingdiagnosed/a/green_stools.htm

I think it's due to enzymes not acting on it long enough to turn it brown.

 

[SugarBeth]

Definitely sounds like Wez is in active baby mode! She just told me the contractions are coming every 2 minutes now. How exciting, her baby will be here soon!

 

[mummySS]

Ooh thanks for the baby updated, how exciting for Wez and Claire! Woop woop!

I think I'll be one of the overdue crowd hanging out here btw, I have a big feeling this baby is not coming on time!

Well, just got back from the party. Was really fun! We were there for about 4 hours, I'm amazed I lasted that long! I guess I was thinking it would be the last 'outing' before bubs arrives so making the most of it

Caz - where did you go in southall? Was it gifto's?? There's some amazing curry restaurants there. Paul is a huge fan so when we lived in Ealing we'd eat there a lot.

Oh and happy anniversary to caz and Hann (not together of course lol!). Ooh Hann I just remember you saying about eating at Gaucho on monday - OMG I loooooove that place, although haven't been since preggers since I only like steak medium rare

 

[sparky32]

Thanks ladies on the green poo front! It makes sense that it may not reacting with the enzymes as my OC can change this with the bile salts so maybe my levels have changed again will check monday when i'm back at the hospital.

All sounding good for wez, wonder if jonathon will be born today

Any word from Clare?

 

[SugarBeth]

Wez just said she's being sent home for now to further dilate, though contractions are still every two minutes. How disappointing after all that to get sent home without a baby out yet!

 

[BlueViolet]

Yeah, poor Wez. That would be so frustrating. I think I would have some very colorful words for that hospital staff if they did that to me. GRRRR!!!

As for me, I'm keeping busy. I made a chocolate cake and now I have an apple crumble in the oven. I'm debating on whether to make more pudding and some blueberry muffins. I think I'm starting to lose it...lol My back is not happy with me after bending over the sink to do the dishes, so we'll see if I'm still feeling the baking urge after I sit down some. There are fireworks going on nearby and I'm not sure if I want to deal with the bugs and the lack of bathrooms. It would give me something else to do besides baking, though.

That is so annoying! I hope that all goes well at home and that she is back at the hospital soon to have her littl'un...

thanks for the updates SB
