Hann I know NOTHING... I just do a good impression of pretending like I know shit LOL

Mummy I don't have the essentials at all LOL I just haven't found the energy to panic or care! I figure what's the worst that can happen? I'll send Chris over to Asda [it's like 2 mins down the road from the hospital lol] if I'm really screwed! What do I really need to give birth? Myself... that's all really! Hah I was soooo panicky with Saraya I had my bag packed WEEKS before my EDD and had so much shit in it :]

Mel cleaning? What's that now?? LOL I've more important things to do like not puking and GROWING A BABY! hahahahah

Doods rubbish, you are a smarty pants :]

Mel I thought 1/5 engaged was more engaged as in only 1 5th of the babys head is out of pelvis as opposed to 5 5ths etc

No thats 1/5 palpable rather than 1/5 engaged. So if she is 1/5 engaged it would be 4/5 palpable as in they can feel 4/5 of the head. Nice and confusing....

Mummyss - hope you had fun with your niece and nephew. I love heston and his ideas although totally out there are fantastic. I would love to eat at his restaurant just once!

hann - fingers crossed for a sweep at 39+5 if you haven't gone by then.

mel -glad your mw visit went well. Hope you have a nice nap and enjoy your meal out with your parents this evening.

dm - hi how are you doing?

AFM - did two loads of washing which are now blowing on the line. Made scones, millonaires shortcake and apricot flapjacks but my back is now killing me so will leave making the brownies, rocky road and cookies til sunday. Am going to rest for an hour and then I will go and do DS bedroom. Also need to check what last minute bits need to be put in my hospital bag ready for wednesday.

Okay, getting really tired of all this pain now. Labor shouldn't last for days...oww.

Ah okay so that is confusing!! So at 36 weeks I was 4/5 palpable which is the same as Mel is now at 1/5 engaged!!

Just swapped my doctor appointment for a mw appointment next week and going to quiz them about the sweep.

Also they just gave my friend 5 little syringes and told her to manually breast pump to get the colostrum out and freeze it then bring it to the hospital with her in case on the day she is unable to feed. I hadn't heard of that before.
I have no idea whether i'd get anything out of me now anyway as I've had no leakage. I was just going to wait until I got to the hospital to try!

SB - will they induce you today as your waters broke?

SB - will they induce you today as your waters broke?

If I request them to, they will. Otherwise they'll let me continue into tomorrow if things stay normal. I'd really like for Katie to come out on her own, and I'm hoping all this pain today is her deciding to come out but who knows.

I feel like I'm in a labor marathon.

Hi Beth - I hope they help you soon. It must be tough coping but you are so close. Sending you big hugs, hopefully not long to go. You could have the baby over the weekend!!!

[Hann12]

Hopefully it will be worth it and she'll be out today, I have heard that induction isn't great if you can avoid it. I hope you can

Canada Day here today....Will and Kate are here! We are not going downtown to "see" them (I live in Ottawa, and they are here for 3 days) but we are heading out to some celebrations!
Hope everyone has a great day, and those of you in pain find some relief soon - which ever way possible

Love the onesie, gw! It's cute both of them have worn it. have fun celebrating Canada day!

SB. I hope she comes soon even if she takes her time, you'll have your daughter in your arms soon.

Mel, glad the appointment went well. Sounds like baby is getting ready.

Don't overdo it curlew, But if you do, you can send me same baked goodies!!

Caz, I hope they continue to monitor your blood pressure. Mine has been elevated (132/86) the last two visits but I think it's because I've been stressed out the last two visits.

hann, that's weird that you mentioned the last weekend without babies! I told my DH the exact same thing this morning. He got really pale for some reason. Hope you get some good restful sleep soon. It may be a long time before you can get it again.

Hang in there, Doodle. I hope you have little girl soon.

Hope you are doing well, DM. I love that you got your cow BTW

AFM, had the strangest dream. My DH and I were driving to the hospital to have the baby and realized we didn't have a car seat!! So we had to drive all over the city to find one. I'm so grateful we have one in each car in real life.

I've basically resigned myself to the fact that this baby boy is going to be stubborn and have to be forced out. I'm exhausted out of my mind from the constant contractions and pressure. I'm ready to have him here with me! My poor DH is catching the brunt of my mood swings, he has been so incredibly sweet and supportive. Only 5 days till then.

We're thinking about having a small cookout on the 4th. It's a big holiday here in the States AKA another excuse to blow things up, eat and drink. Just what our Founding Fathers would want.

Does anyone know how Lawa is or is getting on ??

ahh he is way too cute!! happy Canada day to my fellow Canadians!!

SB- I feel for you, poor thing, I thought I had some contractions more like cramping yesterday but nothing today. Went to the doctor and cervix was still VERY high and closed
aggh 1 day overdue and counting now

 

[Hann12]

Britt - I'm sorry your over due. Hopefully you'll be very quick when the baby is ready and doesn't matter that you haven't dialated yet.

 

[Blue_bear]

Just seen on a thread that Foxforce is currently in labour....

 

[Hann12]

Thats good - she has the same dd as Doods!

 

[caz_hills]

Hi all, great news for foxforce - hope we hear news soon!!

Britt - it will be your time soon. I hope you are ok and not long to go now!

Wez - feeling for you Hun. Only a few days to go and hopefully a party for 4th July will take your mind off things!

AFM - got period feelings again, I rejoyce when I feel them!!! My NCT friend who has had her baby has given me her EPO left over tablets. Do I just insert one before bed? Sorry for tmi but they are meant to be swallowed so I assume they just dissolve in your cervix? And I take one in the morning too orally? Oh the joys.....!

 

[Hann12]

Caz that's right - pop one in before bed. I did it a few times but stopped. I might start again though.

 

[SugarBeth]

Well, it looks like induction for me. We were advised to go in tonight and it looks like we're going to do it. Hopefully we'll get to meet our little troublesome girl tonight without further complications. Still can't believe I'm part of the 4% that didn't go into active labor within 24 hours. I never can hit the mainstream apparently. Can't wait for this to be all over, either way.

 

[MrsWez]

Thanks for the update, BB!! I wonder what fox's bump will turn out to be.

fluffyblue, Lawa hasn't been on here in a long while.

Caz, I'm not much help with the EPO.

Britt, I hope baby comes soon, my SIL went into labor without being dilated.
