Well apparently I'M the thick one!! In two posts she called me a simple ass and told me I was talking out of my ass!!! LOL All I did was point out that she was contradicting herself constantly and apparently that means that I don't know what a sweep is? *rolls eyes* I do feel like I've rid myself of some pregnancy rage though!!

 

[sophiepaton]

She switched her story as soon as she realised she was getting a bad reaction then tried to make it out like everyone was out of order :/ x

Morning all.

News of this morning......I think I am in labour!!!!

I think it came on during the night, I had these weird dreams when I kept waking up in pain but actually managed to keep getting back to sleep so I reckon they weren't very regular at first. Now I'm awake and timing them they are about every 10 minutes lasting just short of a minute in length. They hurt a fair bit - more than the ones I had over the weekend did - very low, around my back, bum and like period cramps round the front, and they start less and build then just die down. The time in between them apart from having back ache a bit I feel pretty normal.
So hopefully at some point today or at least early tomorrow I will be having my baby!!
I REALLY hope this is not a false alarm!!
I'm still getting bloody CM so guessing thats a good sign, and I've got up and moved around and they are still coming.

I will keep you all posted. Text buds be on the look out as I'm guessing after a while I won't be able to post so easily. Please can no-one put anything on my FB though as Greg doesn't want all of our friends texting him all day I'm just going to keep you guys updated through those of you that I've said I would and if you can keep the thread updated that would be great thank you!

Keep your fingers crossed for me that this really is it, and I'll be in touch! BTW will no doubt be off and on this morning if they remain at every 10 minutes because its actually fine while they aren't happening

 

[gw76]

Yay Hanna!!

 

[Hann12]

Okay may be wrong afterall, as soon as I put the post up things started to die down a bit. Not every 10 minutes any more, much less frequent.
How annoying!!!

 

[Hann12]

Okay and now they are back again, arrggghh I don't know!! I'll keep you all posted! Keep your fingers crossed for me!

 

[Clareabell]

Sounds promising Hann! All my contractions were in my back and in my bum!! (oweww) I hope they start coming thick and fast and your baby makes an appearance at some point today. I'm really looking forward to finding out what all these yellow bumps turn into. I think you are having a girl! and lots of luck

 

[caz_hills]

Wow, it did all kick off on the 3rd tri last night! I really hate it when there is real anger on the forum , we have such a wonderful group and it shouldn’t come to swearing like it did on there, like calling Eve a simple ass – no need for any of that. I saw they closed the thread down last night….

Hann – WOW WOW WOW!!!! So excited for you! Please text if you need anything at all or want me to update the forum for everyone. I really hope that it goes ok – it sounds like it’s happening and today! We haven’t had a baby for a while so this is brilliant, it’s finally your time! Thinking of you and Greg and wishing you all the happiness for the labour. Xxxx

Clare – for some reason I think Hann is having a girl too!

AFM – ok night last night. The MW told me to move to feeding every 4 hours for Ajay in the night so we had one feed at 9 pm then another mammoth feed at 1 am which lasted pretty much until 3.30 am when he finally went to sleep. So I got about 4-5 hours sleep which wasn’t bad. Not sure of plans for today but really want to get up and about and out of my dressing gown. I know it sounds silly but I feel so yucky slobbing around all day in my underwear and dressing gown, smelling of poo (sorry such an awful image) – I think that psychologically I need to get up, shower and put proper clothes on otherwise I feel really yucky.

 

[curlew]

oooh missed the fun last night on third tri. Sounds like someone caring more about themselves and their body rather than whats best for the baby!

Hann - keeping my fingers crossed for you. Have my mobile handy for news.

freckles - glad you are managing to get some sleep albeit with Elliot sleeping on you.

caz - sounds like the new feeding regime is going well. Have to admit my aim each morning is to be up and dressed by 9am as it makes me feel more human if I have had my shower no matter how little sleep I have had.

AFM - MW coming round to check my wound as they were a little concerned about it on Friday and also to check Logans cord as it hasn't fallen off yet. Sleep wasn't as bad as I was expecting last night. Logan woke every two hours for a feed as he wouldn't take much at each feed due to the wind, but managed 6 hours in total so not too bad.

 

[caz_hills]

Curlew - 6 hours, am very jealous! I hope Ajay keeps at this pace and doesn't get any worse. I can cope with the lack of sleep if I have a couple of naps through the day which currently i'm getting. But hubbie goes back to work on Thursday so I hope I can manage then.

I hope the appointment goes alright today and that your wound is healing better.

Was anyone else worried about hubbie/OH going back to work? I hope I can cope on my own...... My Mum is coming over on Thursday though for a few hours and I think my MIL will come over on Friday too to help. It just feels daunting!

 

[Jenni4]

Hi girls! Sorry I have been mia for a few days...was getting pretty depressed with seeing people going into labor...not here so much, but in third tri....which of course i look at excessively!! Surprised to see no babies here for a while...what's up with our stubborn babies!! Although it's looking good for you Hann!! Finger's crossed!! I had my checkup this morning and fluid has decreased more...so scheduled a repeat section on thursday afternoon. Still have hope for my vbac in the next two days, but I have to do what i have to do to get this baby out safely. I'll let you all know how it goes...I feel better knowing a decision has been made and my yellow bump will turn pink or blue in 48 hours!!

doodle and simmy.....thanks for checking up on me...it means a lot that everyone was missing me!! I'm trying to keep my spirits up and will be here to cheer everyone else on!!

 

[Aaisrie]

Oh Hann I really hope things move on for you!! I'll be watching my phone :]

Sophie I agree she kept backtracking!

Curlew hope you have a good MW appt today for you and Logan!

Caz you might feel better getting up and about :] I'm still slobbing it in joggers because nothing fits me lol

Jenni nice to see you back!

 

[Hann12]

They kind of died down and then I hot up and had two in 10 minutes so now I'm totally confused. I'm going to stop timing them, ignore them and go for a walk and see what happens as the day progresses. They fo feel different but without a pattern who knows

Jenni - sorry you had to book the section in, I hope it all kicks off for you before that though

 

[freckles09]

Ohh Hann I really hope this is it for you! Keep us updated if you can. Good luck for labour - bet you can't wait to meet your bundle of joy. Be interesting to see what these yellow bumps are!

Caz - I found the first few days after Hubby went back to work really hard. He works in London so is out of the house 12 hours a day. It does get easier though and now my days go really quick. Dan has another 2 weeks off in Aug so can't wait for that. My mum is around a lot which is helpful so be nice if you're mum can pop round too. Gives me chance to shower and feel human again lol, plus she gets to spend time with her grandson.

Can't believe Elliot is a month old tomorrow!

 

[mummySS]

Aah good luck Hann! I am still around, had a sweep booked in today but it's been cancelled and rearranged for tomorrow, grrr. I was sadly the only thing I had planned! So I'll be on the lookout for updates

Will post properly later, I'm still in bed atm.

Xx

 

[fifi-folle]

Hann - fx this is it
Jenni - sorry you're heading for another section but perhaps it'll scare baby out of there before then!
Sounds like you girls have fun idiot baiting!

AFM I'm in tears today. I've had enough. I feel like baby doesn't want to be born, doesn't want me as it's Mummy. It all eased off again last night. It's been 4 weeks since I had the first set of contractions. Beginning to think baby gets so far and then it can't fit any further down so stops. I've stopped being rational. I just want baby to be born.

 

[Jenni4]

@ fifi...I completely understand how you feel....so sorry that things are not progressing for you.....maybe it's easier to not be teased by signs! I am having those same irrational thoughts...can baby not fit? Is there something wrong with my body?? Is there any chance of this baby coming out naturally? I don't have the answers, but you are definitely not alone in the way you are feeling....and most likely everything is fine and baby is just comfy. Hang in there...

 

[Aaisrie]

Oh girls I wish I could hug you both. These feelings are so normal... I haven't felt like that this time but I have been totally overemotional and crying at stupid things. I think the hormones are all getting the better of us right now.

 

[caz_hills]

Fifi - sorry to hear you're so upset. I hope you are ok, things will happen soon. Are they inducing you soon or do they have plans?

Jenni - nice to hear from you and sorry you've been feeling bad too. Not long until Thursday now and then baby will be here. My recovery after the c-section is going ok and I wish the same for you as well.

Freckles - thanks for reassuring me. I've been booking some friends in to come over for coffee on each day next week. Sometimes I feel like I can't cope having people over but once visitors have got here, I always perk up so I think it's important for me to have company as I can't drive for another 5 weeks.

Simmy - boo to have your appointment cancelled. But hopefully tomorrow it will move things along.

AFM - had a shower and feel human again. Off to the doctors this morning as my skin is really itchy all over and I need some sort of cream to soothe it. So this will be my first trip out with Ajay in the pram (hubbie is coming too), quite exciting!

 

[melissasbump]

Hann, really hope this is it for you! Good luck, my phone is on standby! I was checking it from 3am to see if things had developed for you!

Simmy, sorry your sweep was cancelled, hope it makes a difference tomorrow!

Caz yay for going out in thr pram!

Jenn, completly understand how you have been feeling, at least in 48 hours you will have your baby.

Fifi, im with you girl! Big hugs xx

Im losing the will to live at the mo, cant shake a terrible headache that has been with me for 2 days, OH gets out of bed a couple of hours in to the night as im snoring like a pig, so im sleeping alone, and on top of that i cant take being still pregnant any more. I too am having the thoughts "maybe im doing something wrong, or my body isnt working properly?" Hormones all over the show and crying all the time. Think OH is at his wits end, hes not the only one. Sorry for the me me me rant, am just so fed up now...
