Oooo all my poor ladies - I'm sending you all positive vibes and relaxing energy right now!!! I'm sharing my contentness with you and hope you all labour really soon so you can get some peace <3
 
Hi everyone, well I'm back from town. I have been having about 4 contractions an hour, they are quite intense but they don't seem to be increasing in number. I am sure that this is it but unfortunately it could be a really long time if things aren't speeding up! I'm hoping that my body kicks it all into gear soon otherwise at this rate it could be days. Its very frustrating to get this far and then still feel like my body is failing me because I'm sure most people would have progressed further than 4 an hour after 7 hours!

Fi and Jenni and Mel - I've been feeling exactly the same, frustration that things aren't happening, disbelief when they do, annoyance when its not progressing. I keep saying to Greg that the baby doesn't like me and doesn't want me to be its mum. I don't understand why some people just go into labour easily and some people have all the teasing and slow labour. It makes no sense and it doesn't seem like there is much that we can do to speed it along. Even now I'm in labour I can't work out how to bring it on faster.

Simmy - how frustrating that your MW moved the appointment! I'd have been so cross. I hope that when you have it you at least get some success.

Caz - yay for the shower and the trip out!

Will hopefully be on later with more updates - just hope its moved on a level by then!!
 
Hann that's what I was like when I had them for 3 days but they were irregular. Why don't you try a relaxing bath?
 
I might do that soon, they are about every 12-15 minutes, just read that they can be at this frequency for first timers for 2-20 hours until you hit the next stage so hopefully this is fairly normal - despite feeling frustratingly slow!! I just keep getting more and more show so things are definitely happening. It just could take a while! Just trying to chill out about it now and hope that helps!
 
hugs a to all not feeling right, and dust to all tjose who cud be in labour

afm, still having period pains front and back with braxton hicks (i think anyway) every 40 ish mins very irregular, midwife came for appointment and the little one has decided to go back to back so now we no y im in such agony with my back, so bouncing on the ball is in order, hes fully engaged and she happy with me and thinks i cud be in slow labour cos of the pains, got another app next tuesday and that day i will be given my induction date, but she sed she dont think ill last till next week cos of the pains etc, all she sed as she was leaving was lots of walking and lots of sex lol

happy due date to me though

Fi, Hann, Mel and Jenni, I join the frustration! I am so thoroughly fed up with people texting me and posting on my fb wall about the baby hurrying up - erm, dont they think I want it to hurry up more than they do?!! I really hope you girls with labour signs get somewhere soon - hann, yours really sounds promising. I can't figure out what's worse, having teasing signs or having nothing at all!! All i know is that in the past 8 days since i've been overdue, i have been more uncomfortable than i've ever been - my belly has expanded loads more (hence the newly formed stretchies), my hips are in agony, and i can't walk properly. Oh and i'm needing the loo every 5 mins. I guess the baby wanted that extra time in there to grow more, which is a good thing - i have a feeling it's going to be massive! MW said last week that my waters were quite low too, so the bump is definitely not loads of water.

On the plus side, i have managed to sleep loads - i am just having my breakfast! And the sun's just come out so i'm going to wash some bath mats... oooh look at me, ker-azy! :haha:
 
Simmy - I'm so sorry you are feeling rubbish too. It really is miserable isn't it?!
I have had several FB posts today from people - one from someone who has actually written to the baby (though not finding that too bad!). I've also had 2 people ask if they can come over this weekend - I think they have given up on me having the baby. I don't want to go back and say that things are happening as then Greg will just get loads of texts from people wanting updates so I'm just ignoring them for now. Especially as I have no idea how long it will be - hours, days, a week!!
I hope baby isn't too big for you too - thats my worry I have to say!

I've been doing a proper contraction timer and they are now between 7-13 minutes apart so things are progressing though no idea how fast and I have this fear that it will just all stop. I hope not though as they are getting very painful now!

Emee - glad the mw appointment went well and hope you get moving soon too - and happy due date!!
 
Oh Hann I really hope things happen for you quickly!!!

Simmy you have the sun?? All I have are grey skies and the cows are all lying down so it's gonna rain!

I'm gonna have some lunch then get ready for my consultant appt :]
 
Hann- so glad you are in labour even though it is really creeping along...hopefully things will speed up for you soon....so excited to see how all the yellow bumps turn out!

Mummy-feel your pain about being 8 days over....how naive was I to even think this baby might have come early!!
 
The cows were right Eve - sun lasted about 5 mins and now there are huge rain clouds! LOL

Right my mum just called and is taking me out for a mooch around the shops. hopefully that'll cheer me up :)

Hann - good luck, really hope things progress quickly!

Eve - hope consultant appt goes well.

Chat later x
 
See Simmy it's beneficial to live on a dairy farm!! Enjoy the shops!
 
caz - today is my first day on my own with the boys as my mum has been here every day since i got out of hospital helping, which has been fantastic but she has gone down south today to pick my neice up to take on holiday and DH is at work til Thursday. Hope your GP appt goes okay and you get something to help with the itching.

Jenni - sorry that your fluid levels have dropped and that you are looking at a c section but as you say its what's best for the baby that matters.

Hann - get some rest whilst you can when your contractions have died down.

freckles - wow a month old gosh that has gone by quickly.

mummyss - sorry that your sweep has been delayed. fingers crossed it proceeds as planned tomorrow.

fifi - big :hugs:. Sorry you are feeling down. Your baby will love you so much when they arrive. It's so hard being overdue and being prepared that all you need is your baby to continue on the next part of your journey, but they will make an appearance soon.

Eve - hugs for you too honey. This is such a difficult stage for everyone but soon we will all be on the graduate thread with our bouncing babes.

Mel - so sorry you have a headache on top of the pregnancy hormones. :hugs: I am sure those that are overdue are all going to have their babies within hours of each other.

Emee - totally empathise with the back to back. Logan was the same he turned about two weeks before he was born and for those two weeks I had terrible back ache. Happy due date.

afm - midwife appt went well both Logan and I have now been discharged. Logans cord had fallen off by the time I went to top and tail him at 9am which was really funny as I hadn't expected it to as it still looked so attched this morning when I changed him at 7am lol. My scar is not as red now so they think it was just a sweat rash that I had but have asked that I finish the antibiotics to see the course through.

Having a chill day today as DS wanted to watch the Chronicles of Narnia.
 
Glad your appt went well Curlew and that Logan's cord is gone!! I'm totally fine, I'm not worried at all right now... very chilled! Just had some tomato soup and cheese on toast... NOM :]
 
Hann mine were like that. If having a bath, resting or wandering about doesnt kill them then this is probably it! :hugs:
 
Wow, good luck Hann! So jealous! I'll be checking for updates... but FWIW I think you're having a boy!!

So many ppl overdue... I am pretty sure I will be joining all of you soon. My EDD is Friday and there are NO signs of anything starting. I woke up with a pain in my lower abdomen this morning and got really excited until I let out a fart that actually woke up DH... :dohh: :blush: Never mind...
 
same here squeeker im due fri and no sign. im on count down til induction now 17 days :happydance:
 
I'm sitting waiting on my consultant appt, I thought it was at 4 then at 2 realised it was at 3!!! Panic stations considering it's a 25min drive just to get here!!
 
Hi everyone!

Just heard from Tor--

"After 26 hours I eventually gave birth naturally (no pain relief) to a beautiful little girl! I've been passing out since so admitted to hospital, also need to get her feeding. Will update properly soon"

Huge congratulations to Tor! I've sent congratulations and said we've all been thinking of her!

Will update if I hear more :)
 
Thanks for letting us know doods!! Can't wait to hear all the details - congrats Tor!!!
