Caz - hope you feel better today. Feeling sick is no fun! I agree we can do another 4 weeks if we need to but lets hope it won't be that long! I have just organised to go swimming too - you inspired me

Freckles - that is extremely relieving to know that about Elliot, hopefully all my worrying is about nothing! Hope he is doing well - saw the tigger outfit, so cute!

 

[caz_hills]

Thanks Hann - feeling a bit better this morning but just fragile. I'm such a baby myself - how will I cope with labour???!!!

Enjoy your swim today as well xx

 

[Doodlepants]

Congratulations SB!!! How exciting! The first baby to come on their due date from our group I believe? Exciting!

Have a good swim today everyone who's going!

No news here apart from me throwing up in my sleep! Random and gross!

 

[Hann12]

Doods - could be a sign that things are moving though? Not the nicest sign I would agree though!!

 

[Doodlepants]

Meh- I hope so....but I doubt it- I'm expecting an induction :-/ I just don't feel like she's ever coming out!
I hope I'm wrong- I really want to be able to call Martyn and tell him 'it's time!'

Doodles how awful!

Aw Caz being so far pregnant makes everything feel 10 times worse, hope you feel better soon.

Very Jealous of all the swimming going on, we do have a local pool but when I have one in my backyard I kinda refuse to pay to swim, even if it is winter.

Hann, try not to stress over things, harder said than done I know.

SB hopefully you are actively laboring away by now

I dont remember who asked but pineapple has given me a bit of the runs (TMI Sorry) but its not such a bad thing as the iron tablets were making me constipated anyway. Also I never really thought about it being an induction method, just trying to get my DD to eat fruit.

Off to see the OB tomorrow, hopefully this one will have something usefull to say!

doodle....was holly early or late??

 

[caz_hills]

Doods - yucky being sick, and in your sleep - poor you.

Amanda - wish I had a pool in my back garden - scrap that, I wish my garden was big enough for a pool! But it would have to be indoors in the UK, far too cold for an outdoor pool!

I can't wait to make that call to my hubbie to say 'right it's started. lets go'!!!!! Makes me well up with tears at the thought!

 

[Doodlepants]

Jenni- I was 6 days over with Holly- I was 3cm but due to high BP, swelling etc they broke my waters and then put me on a drip as they thought she was distressed- she was fine when she came out so I guess they were just being careful.
Was Audrey a c-sec?

[Hann12]

Doods I hope you get to call Martyn to tell him its time too. I can't wait to call Greg and tell him too. I really want to go into labour on a Friday so that it happens over the weekend then Greg gets 3 full weeks with the baby. I don't think the little one is aware of my plans though!!

 

[Jenni4]

Oh Doodle I hope this one goes more smoothly!! I just can't wait for the " I think this is it" moment! sorry that you are over your due date....i hope it happens soon!!!

I did have a c/s with Audrey, I have facial reflexology and acupuncture scheduled to help with the oxytocin production to stimulate labor next week....hoping to avoid a repeat C!!
I never had the opportunity to go into labor so I have no idea if I would have been a bit early or late... Fingers crossed it works!!

 

[Hann12]

Jenni - I hope the acupuncture and reflexology works. I feel like my acupuncture is working but still think I'll go overdue as apparently it can't speed things up if your baby isn't ready. Mine hasn't been totally engaged yet......

 

[caz_hills]

Hann - just saw your facebook post.... What does happen if our waters break in the swimming pool???? Ahhhh so many things to think about! But I only swimfor 25 minutes so chances are slim I assume!!!

 

[Hann12]

Yes chances are slim but apparently if it happens you'll feel hot(ish) water coming out - hopefully clear, get out of the pool and apparently the waters will continue to come out, either in a burst or trickle. Tell the swimming pool and then call the midwifes. Obviously don't get back in the water
It doesn't mean that you are in labour but hopefully will happen soon.
While I think its highly unlikely the waters will break in the pool apparently swimming can help get the baby in a better position for birth so hopefully helping them on their way.

 

[caz_hills]

Thanks Hann - hopefully we will be fine! I will keep an eye out but hopefully we would know, you would have thought!!!

Enjoy your swim too - hopefully it will help our babies move into place! x

 

[Jenni4]

Hann.... My acupuncture person won't start until I am past 39 weeks...so maybe you won't go over....maybe by then your body will be more ready!! Here's hoping!! I figure it can't hurt right?? And...it gives me something to look forward to rather then focusing on my due date!

 

[Hann12]

Jenni - I felt the same that at least I'm doing something. My acupuncturist won't press any of the induction points until I'm 39 weeks or until the baby is engaged. If I go at 39 weeks and the baby isn't engaged I don't think she'll press the points needed to induce.
Thats why I'm walking, bouncing and swimming to try and get it totally engaged for my next appointment! Fingers crossed it works for us!

Caz - hope it doesn't happen to you either - but any time after I think we would both be happy with

 

[Doodlepants]

Looking forward to an update from SugarBeth.....

 

[SugarBeth]

Hey everyone, just a quick update from me:

I went back to sleep last night (sorta) thanks to taking some tylenol pm. Woke up about an hour ago. Had lots of cramping through the night, still am but nothing that convinces me I'm I'm active labor, nothing timable yet. I can't believe how much water is coming out - I've soaked through multiple underwear, towels, pads and sheets so far and still going! Midwife said it would be like this the whole time, certInly makes things harder to do!

Going in for a check up in an hour or two, holding off a bit until I get perhaps get things going. I'm currently walking around, Katies moving too. I'm so anxious to meet her! Really hoping everything goes naturally and I can have her out sometime today!

 

[melissasbump]

morning!

SB, Looking forward to hearing your baby news!

Hann and Caz, enjoy your swimming, i quite fancy it but dont have a cozzie that fits and not gonna buy one at this stage. Am really looking forward to taking the baby swimming as ssoon as possible though!

Jenn, the acupunture sunds good, i agree it may give you something else to focus on. All i seem to be able to focus on is every little twinge i get and hoping "this it it"lol

Doodles,, sorry you were sick, blurrrrrgh! I was sick at 530am but thats normald for me and usually just bile. So used to it now, it will be weird when it finally stops!

Linds, lovely pics on FB of Sophie, We miss you here!

Sorry if ive forgotten anyone!

Well another crap night sleep for me, think it was OHs fault, he was tossing and turning like a mad thing! Then he got up at 5am, so ive been dosing on and off since then but feeling knackered still!
Me and OH are going out for a curry tonight which im really looking forward to, we love curry but due to my sickness and heartburn we havent hardly had one this pregnancy, so just throwing caution to the wind tonight! lol, plus am gonna get a mega hot one to get the baby moving! lol.
Its our 2 year aniversary today, well kind of.. i mean we arent married yet, but its 2 years since we officially got together and hes off tomorrow so a nice long weekend for us.
