Hann, I know it wasn't the news you wanted but like you say, at least it helps you to prepare a bit better.

I must admit I don't understand why they say most first time Mums need to be induced, surely that just means they're not leaving long enough for it to happen naturally?

What has everyone got planned for this afternoon? I'm thinking I might wash the bedding, do some more cross stitch and then wash my hair... lol, I should probably actually leave the flat but its good having rest days!!

xx
 
I know, its really frustrating but then at the same time she did say that its exactly what she was expecting it to be like. I just have to prepare myself for the long haul and stop getting excited over every twinge. I thought losing the plug a week ago might mean something but no. I've just put a FB update on saying 'Update: baby won't be here for a while - maybe even another 2 weeks :(" I'm hoping that people will take the hint and stop bothering me.

Tor - I've heard that if the plug has blood in it then it shows changes to the cervix and can mean labour soon so I hope thats the case for you.

Its funny how the MW last week said most first timers are 4-5 days late and the one today said 10-12 days, induction etc etc. I guess they don't want to over promise!
 
Tor my Mum is over a hour away and has told me not to come up and see her as she doesn't want the baby to be born in the same hospital as she is! (Although it's the one I was born in and she was a midwife in.) But she was also expecting baby to have arrived by now given my cervix and contractions. I'm just so bloody hormonal it's driving me mad.
On positive note FIL and his girlf were the last to offer to buy anything for baby so have asked them to get next stage car seat and highchair, only told them on Sunday night which we wanted (Britax evolva 1-2-3 and BabyDan highchair) and the car seat has already arrived!!! Now to find somewhere to store it for the next 9months!
Sounds like a lovely relaxed day you have planned. I've done some washing, cleaned the oven, phoned about getting new boiler fitted next month (with tiny baby we must be nuts). Will probably potter around the garden til it rains then do some sewing.
 
Congratulations Caz!!

Tor- I've still got your number- I was reading through yesterday getting ready to text you when I saw your message, I'm fine to update still here if anything happens (if you want me to!) :) Hopefully won't be long now!!

Sounds promising Mel!! Lol at you OH not wanting Jelly now!

Sorry your appointment didn't go as hoped Hann- you never know though- s/he may suprise you!

The riots look scary Eve, how's Saraya today?

I hope you're feeling better soon Fifi- I love your nursery pics on FB!

AFM- Naomi was cluster feeding from about 1am- 5am and wouldn't let me put her down so I'm rather tired!

Any news from Jenni?
 
Saw Jenni on another 3rd Tri post saying she was still here and fed up. She's part of the over due crew now :(
 
Hiya everyone, well another crappy night's sleep for me but i managed to stay in bed (surfing the net) til about midday! Gotta get on with my work today... ;)

Sorry for the one sided post - my mum has just had me in tears! I know she means well, but she keeps on worrying me about stillborns! She is really over the top with it, because my aunt (her sister) had a stillborn because she went 10 days overdue, and my mum keeps telling me to stress to the midwives that I shouldn't go too far overdue in case this happens. Honestly I know she's worried about her grandchild but all it's doing is sending me into panic, and that can't be good for the baby either! I was just really short with her over the phone, and now i feel guilty because i know she means well. Grrrr!

I'm really sorry if i've scared any of you too, that's not my intention.
 
Meh - i'm part of the overdue crew too now. My ticker is pissing me off! Lol!

Hann, im definitely joining you on your MEH day today! Hey at least you know where you are now and dont have any false expectations :hugs:
 
Simmy - I knew nothing about the over due still born thing until I read it on google the other day. Whats the science behind it? Surely there must be more to it than just going over due. If its any help my mum was overdue by 11 days with my sister and she was fine.
I don't think there is anything they will do to stop you from going over unless they agree to an induction, which they generally don't seem to do until you are 10-12 days over.
As long as the baby is still wriggling it should be fine though, right?
 
just seen my mw and dont see anyone again til 29th (41w) for a s + s. think im gonna end up with an august baby.
 
i'm not exactly sure of the science behind it hann, but i'm sure if the baby's wriggling then it's fine. My mum's just scaremongering :(
 
Poor you - not what you need! Hopefully you won't end up that over due anyway! Actually hopefully none of us will!!
 
Oh Hann big hugs to you!:hugs: I know its not what you wanted to hear, the waiting game is so hard. I think what makes it worse is that a lot of beach bumps came early so has kind of given the impression to the rest of us its "the norm" even when we know it isnt deep down!
If its any consolation if i go over i wont even get a sweep till 41 weeks! how crap is that!?

Simmy, dont like that overdue/stillborn story, think im going to avoid googling that one!

Fifi, i think its normal to want your mum no matter how old you get! The last couple of months has brought me and my mum really close which is kind of nice. Shes so excited about this baby its really sweet, although sweet may turn into annoying very soon!

Tor, what have i got planned for this afternoon? NOTHING! lol, managed to get in the shower and wash my hair, what more do you expect? lol

Ive been getting lovely discharge all day today along with constant cramping, im not getting my hopes up anymore though, i either want my waters to go or a proper contraction to make me double over! lol
 
Thanks Mel - I think you're right, I mean we are on the 12th July and there are only less than 10 of us still waiting, which bearing in mind it was July Beach Bumps, is pretty crazy! The sweep thing at 41 weeks might work in your favour as the mw today said to me that if the cervix is closed they really can't do one and they don't expect to even get close to doing until 40+4. I know they are attempting to do mine at 40+2 but if its like today they won't be able to. So that will be just annoying! They only did the internal today because of my back and not wanting me to go too overdue. I doubt they'll do anything much earlier though now.
Oh and I think you're right, best not to look into stillborns at 40+ weeks. Just concentrate on the fact that we can still feel our little ones so should be fine.

Fi - I am with you on hormonal and wanting my mum. I feel bad for you that yours is still in hospital :( Mine has generally been pretty good through out, though she lacks sympathy sometimes!

I'm meeting my NCT girls in an hour which will cheer me up.
After that I'll be doing nothing as usual! I've nearly finished another book.....
 
Simmy sorry your Mum is worrying you like this. Did you tell her it's upsetting you? If you worry about everything that can go wrong in pregnancy you would be in constant tears!
Hann you never know things can change really quickly. I've found it's slightly easier not to obsess now that due date has passed.
Mel- sounds promising!
Doods- hope you manage to get a nap today.
 
Thanks guys sorry if i scared you, please dont let my mum affect all of us lol! Fifi, i did tell her to stop and that she was upsetting me, so hopefully that'll be the end of that.

Talking of mums Fi - despite being a bit peed off with mine at the moment, I totally understand why you want your mum right now, it's completely normal, it's an iconic moment in our lives! I'm sad to hear your mum's still in hospital. I hope she can meet the baby as soon as possible. :hugs:

Hann, have fun with the NCT girls!

Mel - hopefully the cramps may turn into something but if not then enjoy chilling :)
 
Mildish contractions have been occuring in last hour or 2... seem to be getting a bit stronger....
 
They arent lasting long though... about 15 seconds every 15 or so mins.. dont know if this is right
 
do they start off mild or is it like the films when you all of a sudden get hit with a huge one?
 
They can start off quite mild apparently, and then they can build up. Sounds promising!
