[Emsabub]

Had to come downstairs I felt sick & ended up doing so 😔 Now have an achy stomach with the loose stools still, I'm so hoping this is it! Especially since I woke up feeling off & general weird all day. Fingers crossed, I'm so ready to meet my lady!

Congratulations suze, hoping your recovery goes well.

How goes it Emsabub? x

 

[Emsabub]

Nothing happened I'm starting to lose hope that anything is going to before Monday, though I've somehow developed a mindset that once it goes past a particular time of day my chance of her coming has gone and try again tomorrow. It's really silly
How about you?

 

[Cazran25]

Same here, get tightenings but they just don't amount to anything. Me & DH have a toddler free date weekend planned this weekend in the hope baby will arrive to thwart our plans lol. Thanks to weekends, shift patterns etc today is the last day I have DD all by myself until 7th September so just enjoyed a really lovely day just the two of us.
I've also just scrubbed my fridge inside & weeded the patio so baby you are welcome to appear any time now please!!

 

[Emsabub]

That'll be nice 😊
But it would be typical you go to spend time together & baby wants to show up!
I've had an idea to get my OH a gift once baby's here - I'm planning on getting either a pocket watch or a standing clock with attached photo frame, engraving it with her name and DOB (whenever that may be!!) and 'freezing' the hands at the time she'll be born. At least it's as simple as setting the time and taking the batteries out, easy!

I was having all sorts of period like cramps today, plus feeling sick and feeling the need to go to the toilet more... Was wishfully thinking it might mean something but it all stopped and now I feel totally normal... Boo hoo!!!

 

[jtr2803]

Apologies. A bit of a late update but my little girl, Jessica, was born at home in the birth pool on Thursday at 6.32am. I delivered her myself after a four hour labour with no pain relief

 

[LilRed Mel]

Wow that's fantastic jtr. A very positive birthing example. Congratulations

 

[freddie]

Due tomorrow and absolutely no sign of anything happening here!! How's everyone else getting on?!?!

 

[Emsabub]

Due today and no sign whatsoever so I've been googling (not a good idea..) and most people said they felt completely normal & it happened out of no where. Though I'm in this mindset STILL that if I wake up feeling okay that there's no chance it'll happen and try again tomorrow, grrr! Here's hoping yours arrives on time freddie!

 

[Cazran25]

Ditto Emsabub!! DD was being pushed out at this point, not amused that I'm being kept waiting!
So fed up of these intense braxton hicks & back pain that lead to nothing
I've got a friends 40th party Saturday & she's having a bouncy castle, I've warned her I'm all over it if baby hadn't made an appearance by then!

 

[freddie]

Even my braxton hicks seem to have disappeared... I've had them pretty intense throughout the whole pregnancy and now they seem to be fizzling out... What's all that about?!??

 

[Emsabub]

Cazran .. That bouncy castle sounds like fun! I hope the braxton hicks are doing something though, I've had none 😔 Not that I've felt anyway.

Freddie.. Maybe they're making way for the real thing? Who knows with how strange our bodies can be!

Officially one day overdue now & already fed up
I can't wait til it's all over and this insomnia goes away. I haven't been able to sleep at night at all the past couple weeks, I can usually fall asleep around 5ish but then I don't get up til 12/1pm which sucks because half the day is gone! Hopefully she'll be here soon!

41+1 today and still here 😭
