Wez that's exactly how I feel!!! I wish I'd known when I had Saraya!! If you look at some of the articles on the FB group there's practically no reason why you can't either - apparently even if they had to resus the baby it can all be done on you so they don't have to cut it prematurely!

Ok, because i'm a bit bored... here's what we had tonight after dinner. YUM YUM!

DM - having had PND with my first, I can completely understand how you are feeling! I am glad that you and your real support unit (obviously not your MIL) are aware of the signs and that you are headed to see MW tomorrow...I have been alright this time, so far, but everyone has their eyes on my too...Take care of you gill

BV, gorgeous photos! Your birth story was very interesting... sorry it didn't go as planned, but I am glad that you are OK with everything!

Is that a UK thing? I have never heard of that before... and honestly I don't think it sounds very appetizing!!

AFM - I am 37 weeks tomorrow (!) and, for the very first time during this pregnancy, I had morning sickness! I don't understand why it's starting NOW!

Just a small update from me:

Katie is taking her sweet old time making me wait, but my midwives have faith that I'm progressing, just slowly. My water is still leaking like crazy, I hate trying to sleep with the frequent gushes. I took some walks today and about three naps because i was so exhausted, and got the hospital bags and car seat set up in the car. The midwives said I can go for a few days yet before inducing, though DH and I have agreed that of she's not here by Saturday naturally then we'll give in and try other ways. We're nervous about waiting any longer than that. We've been praying she shows up tonight or tomorrow.

I hope you can get on top of things ans return to enjoying Sophie

Mummy that ice cream sounds really good.

Forgive me but thats all I can remember. Just got back from the OB and it turns out that I do have OC, I have a weird but favorable cervix. So back for monitoring and another VE tomorrow then induction of Monday. Completly crapping myself!!!! My induction did not go well with DD and I am terrified of a repeat performance. On the bright side at least he will be a bit smaller than DD, so heres hoping his head doesn't get stuck.

 

[amand_a]

Good luck SB, hopfully she hurries up but even when things dont go to plan at the end of the day she will still be here very soon.

Wow Amanda so youmost definitely won't be the lastbump to drop if you are induced on Monday! As someone with kind of the same due date as you I am a little jealous! Obviously not about the reasons for the induction but that you will def meet your baby early next week. Hope it all goes well and looking forward to hearing your news!

SB - hopefully she'll make anappearance today. Will they induce you on Saturday if not?

Wez - hope you are okay still too

Eve - thanks for the articles, I had heard about this but it's good to see the info

Squeeker - happy 37 weeks!

Simmy - have to agree with squeeker that the ice cream doesn't sound appetising but glad you enjoyed it! Yes I dread bed times, I never sleep well - either too painful or I can't turn off my brain!!

AFM - another restless nights sleep, very uncomfy after the swim in my pelvis and hips. Even slept half the time on my right because it hurt so much which I have been trying to avoid.
No plans for most of the day except walking more and relaxing. We have a BBQ tonight with our nct group which should be fun.
Hope everyone has a nice day

 

[Hann12]

Oh and happy 38 weeks to Caz and Mel!! Can't believe we hopefully only have 2 weeks left (or max of 3)

 

[Doodlepants]

Mmmm I think that ice cream looks yummy! Thankfully our local waitrose isn't too far away!

Happy 38 weeks guys!!!

Amanda I'm jealous that you get to meet your baby Monday!!!

Well it feels like it's going to be a looooong day I have no plans and the house is spotless! All of the baby's stuff is ready, all toys have batteries etc, bedding etc all ready, all bags are packed hmmm.... Hurry up baby! Now would be a good day to come!

 

[melissasbump]

Morning ladies!!!

ITS JULY OH MY GOD!!!!! No matter what happens i will be a mummy by the end of the month!!

Happy 38 weeks to me and Caz!!

Amanda, im jealous too that you will be meeting your baby early next week, im sure it will be a better experiance than your first.

Simmy, that ice cream looks lush to me! I cant afford to shop at waitrose though! lol

Hann, yay for a day of relaxation, i had a crap night too.

Well as i said i really did have a CRAP night sleep, 1st of all my back was killing me for some reason so i had to get up and walk about for half hour so i went and played in the nursery, then after that was just laying there till way after 330am and been awake since 6. This is not good! Oh and just had some cereal and thrown it straight back up! Joy! On a better note the sun is shining and i have my 38w MW appointment this morning!

 

[Hann12]

Doods - sending you so many positive thoughts for today - I think I originally said I thought she would arrive today so I hope I am right for you! Keep us posted

 

[Hann12]

Mel - feel so bad for your nights sleep - or rather lack of! I'm going to do a hypno birthing session in a minute as that generally makes me feel more rested when I haven't properly rested.
We are going to be mummies this month though and thats amazing!!
Hope the mw appointment goes well - let us know how you get on. Mine isn't until Tuesday
I soooo want them to say that I am fully engaged but reckon its unlikely!

 

[Hann12]

Oh another thought - for some of us it could be our last babyless weekend! Probably not for me but for quite a few of you......

 

[melissasbump]

You never know Hann, you may do a freckles....

 

[Doodlepants]

Mel's right Han- you could go any time!

I know they always say first babies are late blah blah blah but I really don't think so lately! I think all of the babies born so far have been early?
Unlike my little monkey! I have another sweep Monday- I have no faith in sweeps now though lol!

I have predicted the 9th of July as the day she'll come

 

[caz_hills]

Eve – thanks for the info on delayed cord cutting – I don’t know a lot about it but it sounds like a good thing to do. Will have a read up when I have time.

Hann – yay for writing your birth plan. And I can’t believe that it’s July – we WILL have our babies this month! So exciting.

Simmy – mmmm love ice cream! Great choice!

Squeeker – happy 37 weeks! Congrats to you – not long now. Sorry about your morning sickness though, hope it clears up and is just temporary.

Happy 38 weeks to me and Mel! Getting closer every day, 14 until due date )

Beth – hang on in there, not long to go not. Thinking of you and I too hope she makes an appearance in the next couple of days. Xx

Amanda – good luck for your induction on Monday. What does a favourable cervix mean? (think I should know the answer to that but I don't.......)

Sorry to all those who are having trouble sleeping – hope you can get some naps in today.

Doods – put your feet up and relax, baby could come any day!!!!! Hope you enjoy this nice weather – sunny but not too hot!

Mel – hope MW appointment goes well for you – let us know what they say!

AFM – I woke my hubbie up this morning and said ‘it’s Friday’ (.i.e. it’s nearly the weekend) and he immediately said ‘38 weeks’ – bless him, he has baby on the brain too now! Last night I dreamt that my waters broke next Thursday (hubbie is at a work conference call day and night in London) – it was strange as in my dream I was standing up and felt warm waters gush down my legs (sorry TMI) and then I was trying to get hold of Neel. Probably won’t happen but just made me smile anyway!

So, off to see the dr at 8.50 am for my regular 38 week check up – will post and let you know the update! xx

 

[Hann12]

I don't get sweeps really - I thought the point of a sweep was to lose the mucus plug. If you have already lost it Doods then what can the sweep do? Sorry if its a stupid question!

Caz - my hubbie is super excited too!! I hope the appointment goes well. I wish mine wasn't due on a Saturday as I always have to wait until I'm at least 3 days into a new week to get my appointment. Even my all important 40 weeks isn't until 40+4

 

[samzi]

its july! let the baby boom commence (to us who havent popped yet anyway!)

 

[Hann12]

One of my NCT girls due on the 4th July just emailed to say her waters broke! So exciting!!!
