happy due date Hann!!! I hope you get your baby today!!!

Can't believe I'm 5 days over and still freaking pregnant. Getting pissed off a bit now...wondering if my baby is trying to escape but for some physical reason will never be able to make it out unassisted?? Anyway...

I was thinking that if I went into labor today I would probably have the baby tomorrow....that would be cool because myself and my daughter both have 17 birthdays and my hubby has a 27 birthday....sticking with the sevens theme.....another idea to help me make it through along day of waiting.....

 

[samzi]

im just 4 days over and i know how you feel. come on babies get a move on

 

[melissasbump]

Happy due day Hann! xx

I had an awful night sleep with horrid stomach pains and since 5am havent been hardly able to get off the toilet and have been sick twice. Joy! xx

 

[mummySS]

Happy due date Hann!

Mel, sorry for the sickness Can't believe you are still so sick, c'mon baby let mummy out of her misery!

Jenni, sympathies... I'm 5 days over too... It's starting to really suck. I still don't even have any signs!! I agree tomorrow would be a great birthday - 17.7.11 ! My hubby is 7.11.77 so we have a 7s and 1s theme too!

 

[fifi-folle]

Mel maybe it's a clear out before labour?
Hann Happy Due date! Just think every contraction is bringing you a bit closer to meeting your baby!!! They may be helping you dilate and efface? Hoping you're right that I won't need induced!
Curlew - yay for Logan being a full registered scottish citizen!
Simmy - I didn't bleed after the second one but have done after this one. In fact the bleeding stopped in the evening and then I got up and had more this morning.

Had tightenings all through the night with back cramps/contractions too. Managed to sleep through them mainly though. Hoping this is it but doubt it. It would be nice if baby was born today as it's exactly a year since we moved into this house!

 

[Hann12]

Thanks everyone!

Mel - I sympathise, I've felt horrid too weirdly until 5am when I started feeling better again! Maybe it's all labor signs? But then again we know what trickery that can be!

Jenni and Simmy - I hope it's tomorrow too - actually hope it's tomorrow for all of us!
So fed up of feeling like this, especially with the signs then no signs arrgggh!! 7 is gregs lucky number but think that's clutching at straws to think baby is coming out then for us.
It has to come out soon though right? Odds are it will come out by week 41 isn't it??

Just got in a mood with Greg because I told him to talk to the baby and say it was time to come out and he did but then told it that it had to stay in until he gets a hair cut. I know this sounds silly but every day this week he had said that the baby has to stay in for a stupid work reason and now this when it's time to come out. I know it's actually not having an impact on when the baby actually comes out but for me you would think he would get that I need to hear him encouraging it out and not telling it to stay in! Not a good start to the weekend! I'm so hormonal!

 

[Hann12]

Fi - sounds like we had a similar night, just wish mine was still here! Hope yours leads somewhere today

Hugs Hann

Happy EDD Hann!!!

Mel I agree with Fifi that it could be a pre-labour clearout?

I also looked up the % chance of when babies are born in relation to weeks pregnant:

How accurate it is I don't know but I hope it gives some of the overduers some hope

 

[caz_hills]

Eve – glad the wedding was wonderful! I wondered if I could pm your friend about breast feeding please? I’ve got some really silly first timer questions! Thanks hun.

Hann – happy due date! I had the same thing with contractions honestly, started and I kind of knew they were the real thing (although I doubted it) and then they restarted again with avengence. You could go into labour on your due date – I really hope so for you and now you have seen HP, it’s ok!

Simmy, Samzi and Jenni – thinking of you and wishing your babies a quick and safe arrival! I’m sure they will come soon.

Mel – so sorry to hear you’ve been ill and unwell over night. Hope you’re feeling a little better now?

Fifi – ohhhhhh this could be it! Keep us posted and good luck if they progress. It’s getting exciting!

AFM – long morning of feeding with 2 hours pretty much straight feeding wit Ajay. I’m sore (sorry TMI). We have to go to the hospital between 10 and 1 pm for his 5 day check up so need to get going really. But Neel was up until 4 am bless him letting me get a couple of hours sleep so hate waking him! Then we have family over this pm to meet Ajay so there will be lots of cuddles etc!

 

[Aaisrie]

Caz of course!!! She said she'd love to hear from any of you - you're on FB right?

 

[caz_hills]

Hi Eve, yes - I'll pm you! Thanks so much - silly questions honestly but would love her guidance! Thanks. xx

 

[Aaisrie]

Oh and talking of overdueness - according to the Bounty book 8/10 babies are born within 10 days of their EDD

 

[Jenni4]

hi... Bad news for me.....

Went in to check baby as having reduced fetal movements and scan showed my fluid levels to be 5.15..... Down from 7.65 last week....so, have ctg tomorrow and possibly another scan based on ctg, and another scan monday. If levels have not increased, need section tomorrow or Monday depending on scan results. So frustrated that my body is not cooperating... Am sitting here crying now....that definitely won't help my fluid levels to increase! So...am not to go outside and try to keep hydrated as much as possible. Definitely need the labour gods now!!

 

[Hann12]

Oh no Jenni! How do fluid levels drop? Is it dehydration or have you been leaking waters?
I hope the situation improves for you, that must be so frustrating to hold out for the natural birth only to be told you have to have the section. I'm sending you all the luck and hope it gets better!

Caz - BF sounds tough but I bet you are doing so well!

Mel - how are you feeling now?

Eve - let's hope our little monkeys are in the 8 of the 10! Thank you for publishing all the stats it's really reassuring!

Just been into town - to waitrose (sorry added that in for Mel lol!!), it poured with rain and my back nearly gave way. For some reason it's super painful today! I'm just hoping it's all pain towards something! Having a curry tonight, though doubt it will do anything really.

Sending lots of labour dust to all the overdue girls!

 

[Aaisrie]

Jenni It is possible for them to increase a lot - a girl in my PAL group, Sequeena, has gone from "28+4 - 11.4cm | 32+4 - 3.8cm | 33+4 - 15cm" why don't you msg her, I linked her name for you she might have some good tips as she's been dealing with it since 15w being 3.4cm fluid.

 

[fifi-folle]

Sorry to hear this Jenni. However to give you some hope my friend was telling me how she was scanned and measured at 12cm fluid then they accidentally called her again 5 mins later and they didn't say anything so were scanned again by someone else and measured 4cm fluid. this was with her second baby. She had been induced with her first due to low fluids (4 point something) and didn't want to go through that again. It's all down to interpretation.

 

[mummySS]

Oh Jen, that's really disappointing... Hey at least you know and you're prepared for it. As long as bubs is ok and gets out safely, I guess that's the important thing.

Sigh, I feel really fed up today. I think it's partly the rain. Sorry to moan, don't want to bring anyone down as I know there's a lot of fed up people here lol! Another of my NCT girls had her baby yesterday. 4 down, 3 to go - but my due date is way before the other two. And my cousin who's due 3 weeks after me already had her baby! Just feel like everyone's popping babies out apart from me... I'm glad for you girls on this thread (not that I deny you having your babies first!) - it's just nice to have people in the same position

Right, going to get on with my rainy day activities... Filing... Snore...

 

[Hann12]

Simmy I'm sorry you are fed up, it's pretty easy to be especially being overdue. I think it's hard seeing nct friends dropping too. All of mine bar one has had theirs too and admittedly my dd is last but it doesn't make it anymore fun sat around hearing labour stories when you so want it to be you. I'm the most inpatient person in the world so I reckon come tomorrow and there is no baby I'll be terrible company!
Also gregs cousin write in my fb page that she hopes the baby doesn't comd until she is back from holiday!! Firstly that is Thursday, secondly she lives nowhere near us so makes no difference where she is when the baby comes! Just really rude to say something like that to someone!

 

[Aaisrie]

I so remember feeling the same when I was pregnant with Saraya but this time I'm enjoying my last days/weeks pregnancy!! I know I'll miss it when it's gone and at the end of the day at some point I'll have my little Atticus waking me at all hrs!! It's nice to be able to eat my lunch and dinner in peace and do things when I want.
