Oh good luck Wez! So exciting!!

Let's just say that living in Dubai is um...well...interesting!! Lol!!
 
Good luck Wez! Thinking of you and hope it all goes alright!! xx
 
OK- My I think I've caught up!

Thinking of you Mummy Marsh, Charlie will never be forgotten :hugs: I really appreciate you coming on to see how we're all getting on xx

How are you feeling today Linds? I hope you're OK :)

Congratulations on the births of your daughters Fox and Sunshine!! How are you both feeling?

OK- If I'm pages back still but Hann- my boobs got fuller and leaked the 2 days before I went into labour- I don't think you'll go over!

Clare I was advised to send H for cranial treatment as she had a traumatic birth- we didn't go in the end as she was OK but I've heard brilliant things about it- I don't think it's too expensive either. Did you find somewhere yet?

I hope you're not kept waiting much longer Britt :hugs: Naomi and Holly were both 6 days over so I feel your pain!

Not long now BB! I hope the sweep works for you!

I think your nursery furniture looks lovely Tor!!

Lovely bump pic Jenni! Really lovely and neat! :)

Lovely bump pic from you too BB! I'm glad your MW turned up eventually! When I thought I wasn't getting my sweep done I was nearly in tears lol! I was soooo fed up!

Starry I had painful contractions in the week leading up to the big day- not too long now hopefully :)

Caz you make me feel so unfit with all of your swimming! It's so good that you keep fit- I'm sure your labour will be easier for it :)

Thanks for the BF info- I didn't know much about foods to avoid etc either Mel!

Mmmm mountain dew! The one we have is crapola! I miss the proper stuff!

Linds- I love Sophie's hair!! Holly had loads too but Naomi hardly has any! She's a lot fairer too!

Mmmm I love the reeces sweets! I haven't had the cereal yet though- sounds yummy!

SB- Huge congratulations! She's beautiful :)

Jillian looks so pretty BV!

Glad you're back Sherri- how's Colby doing? He's such a cutie!

Massive congratulations Sparky and Amanda!!!!

Good luck Wez! I hope it goes ok for you!

Thinking of you curlew! :)

Thank you all for your lovely comments- we're over the moon and so happy it went so smoothly after our birth with H :)

Well this post has taken me from 10ish until now lol! I've tried to remember as much as I can!

hugs to all!
xx
 
Sorry typing one handed and feeding.

Hopefully not much longer left, before you meet baby Jonathan.

Doods - We are going to Cranial therapy tomorrow, costs £30 for a session she should only need one or two. Im really hoping it helps her as she is suffering in the evenings :(
 
Quick update from Curlew:

"Logan Andrew born at 13.14 today - we are both fine"

Huge congrats Moira - recover well and we can't wait to see piccies!

xxx

EDIT - just got another text to say weight was 8lbs 2oz.
 
Aww Doods well done on your big catchup! :)

It's funny you say that about boobs being fuller - i've had no symptoms at all apart from that one! Oooh maybe sign of things to come...

Caz, i haven't started my work yet, decided a nap would be more fulfilling :haha: But the thought of going into labour without having done it scares me so i'd better get on with it. Oh i love the US version of Top model as well. The girls are loads better lol!

Well AFM ive had two friends and their little boys round all day so things been hectic but nice! One of my friends i havent seen for ages so was nice to catch up, the other one is pregnant, due in Aug so it was pretty much baby talk all day! They brought lunch too so i didnt even have to worry about that, im feeling exausted now though!
Nothing much to report, a few cramps down below but nothing out of the ordinary, my friend clare reckons my bump has changed shape and is more pointy out front now, weird! and my other friend Lisa reckons im having a girl!
We shall see! x

Great news Amanda! Looking forward to seeing photos :)

Congratulations to Sparky too!

Britt - your post made me feel so sad for you, you sound so down :( have they done a sweep? When will they look at inducing? One of my friends tried reflexology and her waters broke the next day and I've been trying acupuncture but I haven't started induction on that yet. Maybe something like that could help? Glad the baby is okay after the fall too :hugs:

BV - your post made me laugh, naively I was not aware of projectile poo, I'll be looking out for ghat, something tells me you can't prepare for it!!

Caz - glad you are feeling better today, it horrible feeling down. I hope you have fun with the girls, always make me feel better!
Eve - sounds like we were both teased last night again!! I was up from 1-4, in the end my back was painful so I went into the living room and read my book whilst bouncing then went back to bed at 4 and slept until 8.

I'm going to see if the acupuncturist can fit me in this morning or tomorrow and just tell her the signs. I am fine with waiting till my dd for the baby but I'd rather not have constant period pains in the process, she might be able to ease them, I mean what causes them anyway?!!
Seeing my nct girls for lunch then we are going to meet the first nct group baby. Looking forward to having a cuddle with her. Greg is so jealous, he is desperate for ours to come now, never seen him so excited!

First off I want to say you ladies are so darn sweet, thank you so much for all your posts and kind comments, it made me smile this morning. Truly a lovely group :hugs:
thanks for asking Hann and a few others about options, apparently the plan is u/s tomorrow to check on bubs to make sure she is okay with enough amniotic fluid and then induction not until Sunday/Monday- they make you wait a minimum of 10 days here...agghh

that being said, I have had contractions all last night but nothing consistent and nothing now for the past hour. I have had increased discharge and a bloody show so hoping this is a good sign (I lost my plug about 3 days ago). gosh I just hope something happens regularly, the pain was so much last night that it woke me up so of course I got excited....now nothing

Doodles- thanks for your birth story, its absolutely beautiful, and the pics are amazing

Mrs Wez- wow excited for you, cant wait to meet our next baby
:hugs:to the rest of you, everyone is getting really close now :thumbup::baby:
 
Britt - I heard that when you get the bloody show you are within 48 hours of labour. I really hope thats the case for you! Keep us updated when you can. I don't think they induce here until you are 12 days over, though might be wrong.

Simmy - thanks for posting Curlews update - I got it but was having reflexology so couldn't post it until now.

So on that note: Big congratulations Curlew on the arrival of your little one! He sounds gorgeous! Hope you are doing well!

Wez - sending you all my thoughts and best wishes for today. Looking forward to hearing the news.

Jenni - what did you think of acupuncture?

So I just had my session - had acupuncture at 11, and she did the induction points, then I just had a reflexology session, apparently I am stressed, and she did that to relax me. She was of the opinion that the acupuncture could be so effective that the baby could come in the next 48 hours but I am just a tad sceptical about that! It sounds too good to be true. It did relax me though which is good. I had some cramping and back pain when the needles were in but nothing since. Watch this space!!
I also met up with my NCT friend and her 4 day old baby. She was so teeny, I didn't realise they came that small (she was 6 pounds 8). I almost ran off with her!! Made me so want to see mine, but also if it isn't for another couple of weeks at least that has helped me with remembering its all worth the wait. I'd really like the baby to come when its ready using only natural induction processes rather than sweeps and anything else. Ideally!!

Simmy - can't believe you have work still to do. That is rubbish!!

Mel - hope the cramping has turned into something.

I didn't see BB on today - maybe she has been getting some positive signs.....I hope so!
 
Oh and Eve - I take it back about the usuable sanitary towels - I used an always one last night as I was checking for leakage and it was so scratchy and uncomfortable that I think you might be onto something with material ones.....

And Simmy - loving your predictions - almost the opposite of mine so one of us should be right!! :)
 
I am still here sadly...... :(

Been having contractions since 5am, started off 20 mins apart and have done my best to keep moving all day to keep things going. Walked round town etc. Got down to every 4 mins and bloody painful....paracetamol does nothing, bath helped a little. Then i sat down to try and get some rest and they have slowed right down to every 10 mins now. Feeling very frustrated cuz it really hurts but i know mat unit will say i have to wait it out.... :(

BTW they feel soooo different to my usual BH, and really hurt plus being here for 12 hours now, its gotta be the real thing right?!
 
lol Hann exactly one of us should be right... i didn't really mean to do the opposite of you, it was just what my inkling said! I have never been a really 'in tune' person though so i'm probably completely wrong. Just a bit of fun anyway :)

Glad to hear your acupuncture was relaxing at the very least! Who knows, the lady clearly sounded very confident!

Britt, got my fingers crossed for you!

Good point Hann, where's Georgie today? maybe like Doods she's just annoyed...
 
aah just saw your update BB - hang in there, it def sounds different to what you've had before. I'm just sorry it's so long and drawn out... :(
 
BB- That is exactly how it happened for me! Good luck hun!! I think we'll be seeing our next blue beach bump shortly!x
 
BB - yippee it sounds like the start of something good to me!! Keep us posted but I'm sending you all the luck that this is it for you. I've heard they can slow down a bit before they get going again so don't worry too much about that. Its got to be the real thing one of these days and why not today! :)

Simmy - I think we both said Fi is having a boy so we must be right LOL!! Funny!
 
So I won't be the only one to be shocked if I have a daughter!??!
