Fingers crossed for your sweep working Tor. Mine definately did the job about 36 hours after...

I am sprinkling labour dust for you all this weekend, cant wait to hear about the next influx of babies!

I am trying to remember how i felt the few days before - other than fed up - I remember having a good cry (!) and i also think i had that really tired feeling, just make sure you listen to your body, it might be trying to store energy for a reason!

xx

 

[melissasbump]

Oooh Tor, your sweep sounds promising! Good luck i reckon you may be next!

Squeeker, glad your OB appointment went well, sorry that you dads siblings have been a pain re your Grandads tumor, im so sorry..

B Bear, thanks for your post, have been sleeping loads so maybe that means something... maybe not though! lol

Hann, enjoy Harry Potter! Am very jealous!

Linds, that Newbies thing is with Odeon isnt it? im going to look into that, it sounds like a great idea in theory!! xx

 

[DragonMummy]

yep Odeon. I'll let you know!

 

[topazicatzbet]

wel my lo kept his end of the bargin and staayed put so i could see harry potter, so i ve told him he needs to get his butt here now. i always thought second babies came earlier but looks like its gonna be later.

Simmy - I heard that the stretchies happen to a lot of people in the last week and actually when you've had the baby and your body is going back into place they can arrive too. I'm hoping not but doubt I'll escape it!

Simmy - my stretch marks are AWFUL! They came out at 35 weeks and they were so itchy (sorry TMI) and now look horrific. I really wish I had used the bio oil from the start - I only used it when they came out and it was far too late. But oh well!

Tor - thanks for your post. We planned to visit the breastfeeding counsellor today and see her for some advice on latching. But she didn't turn up! So I called a helpline instead and am ploughing on. Seeing the MW tomorrow for the 5 day check up and we will talk to them about positioning/latching too - it hurts me!

Squeeker - so sorry about your Grandpa - sending you lots of hugs. xx

Hann - Hope HP is good tonight. I used to do that with supermarket shopping too as it's something to do every day and some walking/exercise. Neel used to get really annoyed though as I'd go every day/every other day and spend a fortune!

Well I still haven't had a chance to catch up, been out all bloody day again!! Knackered and sore! My MW wasn't able to do the sweep because my cervix is up round round my neck still she could reach it with the tip of her fingers but no more soooo she's put it down in my notes to try again on Tuesday at my consultant appt. I'm not too worried, he'll come when he's ready. My cervix is sore now though!

What did I miss??

 

[Doodlepants]

How was the wedding Eve?

Tor- I'll be keeping my phone by my side now I really think you'll be next!!

Am super jealous of Hann seeing HP!! I hope it's good!

Sorry for the short post, am typing one handed and have arm ache!

xx

Tor - I'm booked for induction on 23rd too! Although hopefully will go before!
This was third sweep (although the first one was ages ago). I'm 3cm, cervix is 2-4cm and is middle now rather than posterior so we are making progress. She said my waters were bulging or something and she could have easily broken them today so hopefully things will happen soon. We then went to Harry Potter and I spent the whole time with quite uncomfortable tightenings and pains, they've eased off a bit so we'll just wait and see. I'v enow got everything done I wanted to before baby comes, cat flap is fitted and boiler organised, HP seen and DH has got the book he's been waiting to arrive for reading whilst I am in labour (that's what he thinks he'll be doing anyway, ha!) And I spoke to Mum and she walked 3/4 yards with a zimmer so things are looking up on that front too. Come on baby!!!

PS HP is fab! But hormones meant I sobbed in parts!

 

[Aaisrie]

Doods it was AMAZING apart from the fact I can barely walk today!! I took a load of photos, I won't bore you with them all just throw up one of the gorgeous bride... NuKe of BnB

[DragonMummy]

does EVERYONE in N. Ireland have bright pink hair? You, her, Lunabean....

 

[mummySS]

Fifi, Tor - my induction is booked for 23rd too! Let's pray we all get there before then!

I havent been offered a second sweep but think I will call up and insist they give me one. Tor - it seems normal to bleed after a sweep - that's why I was surprised I had nothing...

Am in nandos but will catch up later

[samzi]

my induction is booked for the 26th. hoping i dont get that far though

 

[Doodlepants]

Glad you had a good time Eve- Nuke looked amazing!! It looks like a lovely setting too

 

[curlew]

hi all

Kelly - nice to hear from you. Sounds like it was a tough appointment to go to but also there were some answers for you.

Jenni - hope your dr agrees to delaying the c section as long as possible for you.

Caz - you had a pretty torrid time with your labour but at least Ajay is here now safe and well.

Freckles - have you tried swaddling Elliot as it may help him settle at night.

mummyss - sorry your sweep didn't seem to work. Hope you enjoyed the time with the twins. GU puddings OMG I totally love them.

Mel - hope you don't need your sweep next friday. We are like you trying to watch our way through the last six HP and have booked to go and see it on the 27th at a baby and parent showing.

Hann - Totally understand your feeling of pure knackerdness. I was like that before going into hospital as though I could not be bothered to walk a few steps. Hope you enjoy HP. Love the idea of you and Fi going into labour at the end of the film.

squeeker - so sorry your dad's siblings are being so unhelpful at a time when the family should be pulling together. Good news that the baby appears to have dropped.

Tor - keeping my fingers crossed that the mw is right and something will happen for you in the next 24-48 hours.

Topaz - glad baby kept his end of the bargin and stayed put for you to watch HP. Hope you enjoyed it.

Eve sounds like Atticus is very comfortable in there and is in no hurry to exit. The bride is amazing and it looks as though it was a great fun wedding.

Doodles - hi how are things going with Naomi?

Fifi - glad you enjoyed HP. Think it would be quite a weepy in places even without hormones. Hope mine will be settled by the time we go to see it. Glad you have managed to get everything done you wished to do before the baby comes.

AFM - Logan selpt really well last night from 10:30pm-2:15am and then 3:10am to 06:30am, however my poor boobs were like balloons this morning and leaking like a sieve as he had been feeding regularly during the day and then decided to have just one feed at night Don't think I will get a repeat performance tonight though as he had a feed at 8pm so will probably be up around 11pm for his late feed.

Managed to get Logan registered today so he is now all legal. Then went into town with DH and DS to get DS trainers for going on holiday to France with my parents and his big cousin for three weeks.

Tomorrow we are planning to go to the new transport museum in Glasgow as its supposed to be raining here.

 

[Aaisrie]

LOL DM I purposely bleached mine so as not to have the same colour hair for her wedding!! And Liz [Lunabean] is actually red :] Really it's just because we're all so freakin' cool

 

[Hann12]

Hi all, just back from Harry, it was quite good, not amazing though, the book really is a lot better.
Linds - the epilogue will make you cringe for sure!

I didn't go into labour but had some series tightenings and cramping but it's all calmed down now. Fairly sure I will not be having a due date baby! What a shame!

Loads to catch up on;

Simmy - sorry the sweep produced nothing - def try and get another.

Eve - sorry yours was unsuccessful too - mine is round my neck too ha ha!! Glad the wedding was fun!

Tor and Fi - yay for the sweeps, both of you sound very close, don't reckon you'll be induced.

Gosh my mind has gone blank on the other updates I'm sorry. I am really tired so going to head to bed - and probably not be able to sleep.
Hoping tonight is the night for something happening but I know it won't be and there are some if you well in the queue before me! I hope to wake up to some baby news anyway.
Come on full moon - give us our babies!!!

 

[DragonMummy]

Thanks Hann. I suspected as much. Will it make me vom popcorn?

 

[Aaisrie]

LOL Attractive thought DM!!

Okay baby pool time!! One of my local BnB girls made a prediction on when Atticus will appear and put this idea in my head!! When do you think he's gonna appear? Weight? Time?

Atticus' Baby Pool!

 

[Hann12]

I've done it Eve - went with the 20th - really hope I'm then too if not before!!!

Linds - the epilogue could make you vom your whole days food not just the popcorn! It's exactly like the book and they look silly trying to age them by 19 years!

I had contractions from 11-3ish last night. Started to get a little bit excited because they were getting stronger but then I went to sleep and woke up (by someones car alarm!) at 5.30am and they were gone. No sign if anything again now. Very disappointing. For a while there I thought I would get a due date baby but no

It's finally my due date though yippee - now I just need to find a way of letting the baby know it's time!
