Hann, stay strong! I had all that teasing and it did come to something in the end! I agree with Eve too, you might find your MW can feel your cervix as its a different angle etc, and also with the effacing, it needs to do that before it dilates so that probably what the pains are. Fingers crossed for your sweep xx

 

[Hann12]

Thanks BB and Eve - I'm sorry I sound so moany today and I'm only 1 day overdue, its just so annoying having all that time and feels like its for nothing.
I will let you know how it goes tomorrow.
Eve - thanks so much too for being there and around for texting.
My plan for today is definitely to chill out, read a magazine and get some sleep. I'm getting some more cramping now but not like the contractions and not in a pattern but hopefully as you say its all doing something positive.
This baby is coming out one way or another! Just hope its sooner rather than later LOL!!

No sign of Tor this morning, really hope it was the real thing for her at least!

Hann when i had my sweep last week my cervix was still very high up and not dilated really, but they were able to do it as they said it was softening. They had me put my hands under my lower back, i guess to lift it into the right position. So maybe they'll still be able to do yours. (not that mine seemed to do a thing, lol!)

Yep i'm def up for sleeping today. Might pop to the shops just for something to do, i spent all day indoors yesterday feeling sorry for myself so really need to get out.

Tor - thinking of you, hope something's happening!

Eve - my left hip is in agony too! It's really odd, i can barely rest on it during the night. Normally after i've been awake for an hour or two, it calms down.

Hi everyone, quick question - we have a cot bed on our pram and Ajay much prefers sleeping in there plus it's in the lounge so he is with us. But today my sister said that babies shouldn't sleep in the cot pram as it doesn't spport their backs well enough. Is this a problem? He just does't settle well in his crib. Thanks, am having another paranoid moment!

 

[Hann12]

Caz I am no expert but I was told by my friend that she had hers sleep in her pram for the first three months rather than buy a Moses basket. The mattresses on them appear pretty firm if you have a decent pram.
I'll let one of the experienced mums confirm though!

Just had a sleep and feeling a bit more restful now, still really tired though!

 

[Hann12]

Simmy - I am hoping you are right and they can do something!!

 

[DragonMummy]

Caz I think its ok for naps as long as their backs are flat? X

 

[Aaisrie]

Caz I was told [I don't know if things have change or are different per pram] that you can buy a "proper" mattress for most carrycots so they can be used to sleep in ALL NIGHT but it's all to do with the mattress. I think they are fine for naps though. Saraya had no problems and used hers exclusively for a month when she was in hospital because she wouldn't settle in their big cots.

Simmy mine is worse when I'm moving, I think because I've been on my feet more recently it's the SPD kicking in as it feels EXACTLY the same as when I had Saraya. Fortunately it hasn't started until now but I can barely walk because it's agony and no position is comfortable. It kept wakening me last night because I was so sore.

Hann you're allowed to be moany!! This is the worst part of pregnancy, the waiting... the being uncomfortable... the I've already done 9 mo of this gimme a bloody break... the people asking "Where's the baby"... the having everything there just needing the baby and everyone else around getting their babies!!!!! And feel free to txt me any time. I'm normally not doing anything more exciting than watching Peppa Pig or doing colouring!!! LOL

AFM I went to Babies R Us to get the storage boxes but they don't make them anymore!!! I did however get a crib set with a boat, train and car on and a matching baby bath and pram blanket - gotta love the sale!! Sitting here trying to find some position that eases the pain in my pelvis without success!!!

 

[emzeebob]

just thort id let u all no am having reflexology done on my feet in the next hr, my pressure points etc, my best mate is trained and hes already put 2 ppl in labour since he qualified, one of them was during his exam, so fingers crossed

 

[topazicatzbet]

oh good luck, i had a session just after 37 weeks but think it was too early, im hoping to have another session on wed and as its 2 days before my due date might have more luck then.

 

[Hann12]

I just heard from my third nct friend and she ended up with a c section too so that's 2/3 who have given birth in our group and only 2 to go. I hope that means the odds are that mine will be the straightforward one when it finally happens!

Eve - annoying about the boxes but sounds like you got some nice stuff! Imagining you doing colouring and watching peppa pig! I want that to be me lol!!!

Emee - good luck with the reflexology, I tried it last week and did nothing but I think if your body is ready then it can be very effective. I just can't justify spending more money on it now and my body not being ready and it still not working!!

Still no sign of Tor or Jenni actually - hoping that means some babies are being born!

Let's hope the rest of us have our babies soon! I'm sure mine must want to meet me soon!!

 

[mummySS]

Hann we've had some pretty horrific birth stories from our NCT group so far... 4 out of 7 have already given birth. I wont go into graphic detail but for example one of them ended up with a severe 4th degree tear, ouch. I'm thinking along the same statistical logic that if they had scary births then hopefully mine won't be!

Eve - glad you got some good stuff in the BRU sale!

Well, i just got back from a trip to the shopping mall, we managed to pick up a cute little white linen basket for the baby's room, and a bunch of other random stuff. It felt really good to get out of the house, no wonder i was such a grumpo yesterday, it's because i hadn't been out at all

 

[Aaisrie]

Hann when you have watched the SAME episode of Peppa Pig for the millionth time you will not be wishing such things! LOL I like Humf though... unfortunately although Saraya loves Humf she prefers Peppa....

Glad you got out for a while Simmy!

I actually want to CRY right now... WHAT ARE THE FUCKING CHANCES?!

[mummySS]

Lol eve.... Noooooooooooooooo!!! What are the chances!!

 

[mummySS]

Sorry didn't mean to lol - it's just so effing annoying!

 

[Aaisrie]

I swear I actually laughed because my hormones are fucking with me today... it's like a laugh/cry moment of "what actually are the chances of that happening" and "how can this be happening to me" LOL

 

[curlew]

Eve - hugs honey. At least we all know that you have chosen Atticus' name for months. Stikll dont believe she has read it, I suspect the PR guys have come up with that excuse!!!!

 

[Hann12]

I agree bet she hasn't read it!!!

Simmy - glad you got out today! Sometimes that's all we need, basket sounds really nice too!
I have been amazingly chilled today after my mini breakdown this morning.
Back hoping I'll be relaxed and baby will just come when it's ready! Which is hopefully soon!!

 

[Aaisrie]

Thanks girls!! I know all the important people in my life know I've had the name picked since I was pregnant with Saraya!! It's just when people who don't know me think I would choose it because of those twats LOL Curlew that did make me laugh about her not having read it though :]
