im thinking i might of..... ive had pretty much no discharge the whole pregnancy and there was a lot of it just now.. it was clear though, but having consulted Dr Google, it can be clear...
 
Sounds promising Mel!

jen - i'll probably be the same with my second, i guess we just had the time this time!

Claire, sorry you had a crap night. It sounds like the dark days are coming to an end though, especially if the medication clears up niamh's thrush - AND now you can sleep on your tummy, i am sooo jealous! Fingers crossed for the next few days, i really think things will pick up for you :thumbup:
 
Mine was mostly clear, Mel. Try lying down for half an hour then get up. If its water then you'll get more come out. xx
 
This thread moves to fast for me now! Doing my best to keep up i promise!

We are doing well this end, Joshua has been a very contented little lad so far. Hubby went out for a few hours yesterday though and i really noticed how hard it is doing thiings on my own. Still early days though, hopefully i will have it down to a fine art when he goes back to work. I am trying my hardest to rest as had ALOT of stitches but its nice to be up and about and doing things together.

Now i will try and reply to what i can remember :s

Claire- Sorry to hear about Niamh's thrush. Hope the medication works soon! I also know what you mean about seeing your feet, mine are really swollen :( managed the whole pregnancy with no swelling till now! I did chuckle when i had a bath and could see my rather overgrown lady garden though...
Also loving sleping with no hip ache, and no heartburn!!

Mel - My plug was pretty clear, very thick and snotty looking though....

Hann - Thanks for the update on Caz. Hopefully your day is soon. I cant remember if it was you saying about the average being 4/5 days over, i was 4 days in the end.

Simmy - Love that nursery! Good for you for staying busy too, it does help take your mind of being over due.

Congrats to Caz when you read!!

Right, i really want to write my birth story but its gonna be pretty long so will just post the link to it here. If i even manage to get it done.....

xx
 
Mel - mine was thick yellowy snot like! No blood or green to it but apparently that's how it can be sometimes, think Eve said hers was the same. Unfortunately in a week since it happened I've made little progress! Hopefully you will though!
 
Good afternoon/evening ladies!

Just a quick answer to the questions about my internet situation: we're still in the rental (just can't seem to sell our house back in ONtario...) and we have to come to DH's work to check email and such. But being overdue and stuck in a country cottage all day is really depressing so I've convinced him to let me come and check my email everyday now instead of twice a week. So I'm sort of managing to keep up now.

Anyways, had my bloody show this morning. Woo hoo! It was a small, gloopy clump that was definitely, definitely laced with pink. Had mild contractions every 20 to 40 minutes apart from about 6am until noon. They've stopped now but at least now I have the hope the baby will come this week. I'm really hoping for the next day or two.

Speaking of people requesting times for the baby to arrive: I have a family reunion next weekend and DH and I have ALWAYS been upfront about wanting to come but that it will depend on the baby. And everyone said they understood if we couldn't come but they said that at Christmas when I was on bedrest. Then we couldn't come afterall and I got the piss for it. Sheesh. And sure enough, DH was on the phone with his parents yesterday and they were going on and on about how we need to be there. sorry, but if it comes to me needing to be induced I will be in the hospital at the time. So I've been praying my heart out that the baby comes soon enough so we can go and I don't have to hear about it for years to come. Babies on DH's side come early and/or on time so it will be evil my side of the family that made baby come late (my family is known to be last-minute Charlies...babies included... which I don't think is that big a deal, to be honest, lol)
 
Yay Starry for the show!! Things should happen for you now! So exciting!!
 
well tomorrow is the day, though i doubt she will come on her due date
 
Caz, big congrats! :) YEY!

Simmy, gorgeous nursery. I love how playful it is.

Mel, congrats on losing the mucus plug. I don't think I ever did. It's funny how different each pregnancy is. I hope this means that you're really close :)

Starry, it's great to hear from you. I hope you make the reunion, but if you don't, family should be understanding. You will need some time with your baby and your husband after the birth. I personally was exhausted because I hadn't slept in 3 nights, so I wouldn't have dreamed of taking a trip to any family reunion no matter how much they begged and insisted we go. Hopefully, your labor will be fast and easy and you'll have plenty of energy afterwards.

Bb, glad to hear you and baby Joshua are doing well :) It's great your husband has time off and can help out.

Clarea, hope Niamh's medicine works and that she'll be better soon. It's great you were able to sleep on your tummy. I usually like that too, but haven't since I got pregnant. I might have try that tonight if my huge boobs won't be too sensitive.

Speaking of boobs, I managed to figure out a way to pump and type at the same time...I kind of lost track of time and managed to get about 4oz. MOOOO!!!!
 
Ok, here is the birth story. It has taken an age to type....please read if you have a few hours to spare, lol.

love it georgie - thanks for putting it down! wow, that is one long labour.
 
Simmy, yep, I got an Ameda Purely Yours Ultra pump. I love it! It's such a lifesaver, otherwise I would have had to do formula supplements.

Bb, I'm looking forward to reading your story. I should write mine down before I forget it. Although, I'm not sure I want to remember it all...hehe.
 
OK that will teach me to skip read. CONGRATS CAZ!!!! Am giving you a big wave from 2 miles down the road :rofl: I recommend side room 5 ;)
 
Amanda - congratulations on baby William.

Wez - congratulations on the birth of baby Jonathon.

Sharique - congratulations on baby Emilia. Sorry you had a tough time and ended up with a c-section but at least she is here safe and sound. She is lovely.

Caz - congratulations on the birth of Ajay. Glad the birth went so well.

Blue bear - congrats on the birth of Joshua. Fab name - that's my eldest son's name. Glad he is a contented baby.

simmy - the nursery is beautiful. I don't think it looks too boyish at all.

Hann - can't believe you managed to get an electric shock from your accupuncture. Hope it gets things moving soon.

Freckles - glad Elliot had a better night last night. The hormones are a bugger aren't they. I was congratulating myself on being good last night and today I am a hormonal mess, happy but hormonal lol.

Clare - sorry Niamh is suffering with her thrush, poor soul. So jealous that you can wear shoes. My feet are agony as they have swollen so much. Am drinking gallons of water and have my feet up as much as possible but they are still three times their normal size!

Starry - woo hoo for your show. Sorry DH's family are being a pain about the family do. Surely they realise babies don't have a timetable to come to, 40weeks is a rough guide - jeez. Fingers crossed things will move for you soon.

BV - love the pumping and typing at the same time. No way would my boobs let me do that they are too big I couldn't do it with one hand lol.

AFM - Logan had his first weigh in and has lost 8.9% of his weight so far, another weigh in booked for wednesday so hopefully he will be starting to gain again as he has been receiving proper milk since Sunday morning and has been guzzling like a good un.

Had my first good nights sleep last night, about 7 hours in three chunks which was fabulous as compared to the previous three nights 2 hours each.

Unfortunately my carpol tunnel is still bad and have been advised it could be a couple of months before it repairs:growlmad:

Will sort a couple of pics out to post tomorrow.
 
Goodness Moira, I kinda thought all the preggo symptoms like carpel tunnel and swollen feet just magically disappeared when the baby came... apparently not! A few others have mentioned swollen feet too!

Glad Logan is guzzling away now, that should get his weight back up again. Can't wait to see some pics!! Good to hear from you.
 
I just heard another NCT girl who was also due today has had a little girl today. One of the rare 4% and our first NCT girl! We figured she was in labour as she didn't show up to our meet-up this afternoon.

Oh goodness i think i'm going to start getting fed up soon!
 
Simmy I didn't HAVE swollen feet until Sophie was born! Moira they went down pretty quickly - am back in normal shoes now so shouldn't be long. Mine were so bad they were hurting - I had to keep the bath full of cold water over night so i could go and stand in it..... :rofl:
 
I'll try and catch up properly tomorrow but just thought I better write a quick post to let you know there's no news here, I've been busy so been away from BnB but wouldn't surprise me if you girls starting speculating!

I won't start asking Qs until I've read updates tomorrow, but hope you are all well.

xx
 
Tor we were totally wondering about you and assuming you were off giving birth! What did you decide to do about your name?

Curlew - so happy that Logan is doing well and being a good feeder. Not sure if I've said it bit I really like your name choice - reminds me of x-men! Sorry to hear the carpal tunnel is still with you, I also assumed it would just go! Hopefully it won't be that long.

Simmy - that's nice for your nct friend! I know what you mean about feeling fed up soon. I'm kind of okay at the minute, my 3 nct friends were due Sunday, Monday and tomorrow so when we meet tomorrow they will all be overdue except me. As odds will have it they will give birth before me. I am so looking forward to hearing their news but it's going to be hard being the last. Esp as I could be a good week behind them. I know I just need to learn patience at that point though. It will also be hard if everyone on this thread has given birth by then too as I really will be last bump standing but then someone has to be!! I'm literally taking one day at a time and trying not to forward think as that's what's panicking me.
Oh and so far the acupuncture has given not one ache or pain! Fantastic! I do have a slightly bruised and swollen wrist though, great!
