Simmy do you still get a lot of movement? Atticus moves like big proper movements still and I can't work out how when he's so freakin' big!!! LOL
 
Mine's 38 inches and I get lots of movement!
I want to know how big our baby will be and what it is and when it's going to arrive!! So many questions!!
 
Yes I get massive movements, like you I'm thinking surely it's run out of space in there! I get big bums and knees and heels jutting out, mostly when I lie back.
 
I got big movements right to the end. Even when I was in labour she was kicking the shit out of me! Run out of room - bollocks!
 
That's good to know! With Saraya her movements slowed down at the end and the MW and consultant keep asking me if I've had less and I haven't!
 
Hann I know there are sooo many questions! What will the baby look like - that's my favourite. We just have no idea :)
 
Harry slowed down too. The only difference being that I had a LOT more water with him, so there was more between him and me, I guess. But even an hour before my section when I was strapped to the trace I was getting big knee and heel bumps sticking out!
 
I think the biggie right now is when will it arrive!
I am wondering whether at my 39 week check the mw will at least take a look and see where the cervix is and whether it's dillating as I have been having these false pains etc, even if she won't actually do a sweep. Or whether she'll just totally decline to do anything like that?
 
Hmm not sure - mine didn't at the 39 wk appt, but then inonly saw the GP not a proper MW, and I haven't been having false pains. Maybe you can ask her to? Might they even do a sweep for you? My GP offered at 39 wks and I said no!
 
Oh exciting news people - Caz is in hospital - contractions are 4 mins apart and she is 5cm dilated! Hopefully we will have baby news from her by the morning. I'll keep 'you posted when I hear more!
 
I felt big movements until she was out. While I was pushing the midwife and nurse were trying to point out Katie's feet, which were perched on my bottom rib. She was using this position to actually push herself downwards! She also kept twirling while coming out, so she never lacked movement at any time leading up to birth.

Good luck to Caz!
 
Good luck to Caz!!

I was getting big movements right to the end! I was on the trace for the whole 17.5 hours of my established labour and Niamh was kicking the crap out of me!

I have a feeling tonight Is going to be a long night. Niamh has tongue thrush and is miserable! So clingy I have spent the past hour walking around singing you are my sunshine. I have just managed to put her down in her basket but she is already stirring! Poor babies mouth is riddled with it! :(

Duncan is back to work tomorrow and on earlies so am on my own with her! Suppose getting thrown in the deep end will better prepare me for things to come.
 
oooh we do you are my sunshine too! although I edit the words. you are my dragon, my harry dragon or you are my doodle my sophie doodle. nice work. Sophie loves me to sing to her (hush little baby being a favourite). She also likes having her hair stroked. Two things Harry wasn't fussed about. She's asleep in her basket next to me, farting like a tramp! :rofl:
 
Ah bless the little wind bag! I adapt it the words to you are my niamhie
little niamhie. If that fails to settle her she loves a bit of twinkle twinkle. She has managed to stay asleep in her basket for 20 minutes now without waking herself!! I'm now waiting for the damned hiccups to kick in and start tormenting her!!

To all those that have hiccupy babies on the inside you are likely to have them on the outside and they are not so cute, bloody nightmare!!
 
Tell me about it! Sophie gets enraged with hers!

Am lucky she likes her swaddle. She sleeps for 3 hours at a time with it on. Love it....
 
It's funny to read how many people's babies still moved around so much right up until birth. I had always read that they slow down but I'm still getting the ocassional karate kick and I'm wondering how Cuddle Bug finds the room! ha ha It's true he squirms more than anything else these days but I still find big, feety lumps just underneath my ribs or I see a nice ball rolling around underneath my skin which always gives DH the jeebies. He calls it a little alien baby. ha ha

So happy DD to me.....still pregnant....no real signs he is coming anytime soon. Already preparing the waterworks to get my doctor to just sign me up for an induction at my next appointment on Friday even though I technically can't have one until the following Wednesday. I just don't want to way the full 10 days, try to book an induction and find out they're booked until like 5 days later...

Sharique - totally gorgeous girlie you have there! So precious!

Tor - I'd stick with the name at this point. I think it really only gets sticky sharing a same name if the other person is an immediate relative. Though that doesn't always stop people because in some large families there are first cousins with the same name. DH's cousin used our name as her baby's middle name so I'm just going to say that middle names are still up for grabs as her baby won't ever go by it.

Caz - woohoo! Can't wait to hear about your little one! I can't remember if you were Team Blue, PInk or Yellow so it will be a happy surprise for me.

BV - sorry you're having such a rough time. Do you have any other relatives or friends who could come help with some of the things around the house or hold the baby so you could take a shower/nap/warm meal/all of the above?

I really hope Britt is having her baby. I'm already upset at baby not arriving by his due date. I couldn't imagine having to wait the full 10 days to get induced (but I feel I just might find out, lol). Good luck and can't wait to hear about your little lady!

SB - you look fantastic! I hope you don't mind that it makes me feel better that others have also gained 40+ pounds in their pregnancies. Makes me feel less like a gluttonous freak though I never looked as hot as you pre-pregnancy. ;) Haven't been in shape since before I got married (stupid marriage weight, ha ha)
 
Niamh just awake. Managed almost 4 hours in the basket. She has had a feed and is now back there hiccupping away! Maybe we are having a minor break through in terms of her colic!

Thinking of Caz and hoping that by now she has babe in arms :)

Good to hear from you starry really hope your GP books your induction date too so you are not left waiting ages :)

Lots of labour thoughts and vibes to all still waiting especially thoses who have reached the due dates :) xx
 
Wooo exciting news for Caz - hopefully when we wake up tomorrow we'll have some great news! See I did say week-long indian weddings are a foolproof labour induction technique! ;)

Starry, goodto hear from ya. Happy due date! How is your Internet situation? I do miss all the north american girls posting late at night (I'm a night owl and you guys used to keep me company! Although now I guess that's being replaced by mummies with wide awake babies!). Sending labour dust your way starry!

Oh and since it's 2.30am here in July 11, happy due date to me and Jen too! Wow, what a milestone, feels like the end of a long journey! :happydance:

Claire - aww I'm glad naimhie has settled a bit - I love yours and DM's sweet renditions of you are my sunshine - will have to bear that one in mind!
 
Happy DD mummy it is a huge milestone!! Hoping your little one decides to make an appearance soon! Niamh still awake but fighting it! :) we shall see who has the greater will, me or her :rofl:
