Lol!!! That's funny! I can just imagine that..... "you better move back!"
 
With DS waters were broken in hospital. With DD on sunday I heard a popping sound as I was laying down. I thought 'could it be my waters..' I stood up and water gushed down my legs super fast. Literally soaked my pj bottoms and made a pool on the floor. Then it stopped and I got changed only for waters to gush 4 more times.. No mistaking what it was!

It looked and felt like bucket-fulls! I thought a pad would soak it or a towel cover our matress.. How wrong was I.. No pad or cover would have contained the amount of fluids :D
 
popping my head in again, iv been given a date for the 3rd of October for a sweep and at that appointment i will be given a further appointment sometime between the 4th and 11th to be induced, so i may be having a October baby if this little one wont's to stay put till then
 
With DS waters broke at the hospital as I was 10cm dilated and ready to push him out. It was a massve gush and I heard it fall onto the floor.

With DD they didn't break, she was born in the amniotic sac with fluid around her.
 
This sounds daft then but how do you avoid not wrecking anything if u gush all over?! Got visions of needing new mattress, carpets, etc!
 
We've got a waterproof mattress protector on the bed and then I've got puppy training pads to put just about everywhere too. We've got a decent mattress and new carpets and sofa so don't want any of them ruined.
 
Fun times last night. Had contractions for 2 hours but i decided to go to bed and it fizzed out and I slept like a rock aside from getting up to pee twice. We shall see what happens today when I'm out of town and doing some shopping. :haha: you all have a good Saturday!!

It's so annoying isn't it!

I was having contractions this morning which seem to have stopped and now just having bouts of feeling generally unwell.

That and my hips and pelvis feel like they've been involved in some kind of car crash! :cry::wacko:
 
Ditto here, it's the SPD for me that makes my pelvis ache and groan and pop and crackle it's horrible! And yeah the contractions are annoying but I hope it's doing something at least for both of us fx!!
 
I have a mattress protector that I have not put on yet was on my list of home birth supplies. I did ask my mifwive the other day about it as I have heard all those myths about amniotic fluid and ruining furniture. She said its a bit of a myth mostly it will just be wet and your furniture will need to be cleaned.
 
Ptr and Low it sounds like your bodies are getting ready and getting in some practice. I can appreciate how frustrating it is though.
 
I'll be 40+5 on the 12th. I'm sure I'll go before then, but it's helping to keep me sane knowing for sure that there will only be 3 more weeks max until he's here. :haha:
I'm already 2 cm dilated, 80% effaced, and have a very soft cervix, so I imagine that if it does come down to being induced on the 12th then I should be in a ripe condition for labor.

Finally getting around to packing my hospital bag today! We also need to install the car seat/bases. I'm ashamed that it's taken me this long to get around to it, but DF didn't want to install the car seat until now because sometimes they carpool when they go out to lunch at work and he wanted to make sure he had enough room in his car until it was absolutely necessary. :dohh:
 
ptr & low, I really hope the real thing starts for you both real soon. I remember all the sign spotting with my other two, and it's awful waiting around.

With my DS being born at 36+5 I'm starting to feel a little panicked about this one trying to make an appearance before my Section date. My DD I knew she was going to come the day she arrived and had a slow build up to the labour. My DS I just woke up at 6.30am with contractions, went to hospital, where my waters broke almost immediately then he was born at 8.33am, (i was only 1cm when i arrived at 7.15am). It was so fast and unexpected, it really has me panicking.

I don't want this baby to come early, and I really don't want a vaginal birth! So, if i did go into labour before my Section I really hope there is time for me to get to hospital and set up for a Section.
 
Kalonkiki I don't even have my car seat out the box yet so your ahead of me. I need to get it out and make it up at least. Probably won't install it until baby is here.
 
Same here, mines not installed - not going to till the day baby decides to come
 
I mainly got the puppy pads because spilling anything on our sofa seems to affect the fabric. But we did get 5 years protection on it so if LO spills anything that damages it we're covered.

As for the car seat. It's now easily accessible by the front door as we still don't know what car we'll be taking to the hospital. At least this way we can just grab it on our way out. Anyone fancy packing my hospital bag for me? It's something I just can't seem to do. I constantly put it off, not sure why. Lol.
 
We have another pumpkin! Not sure if you guys remember her, but Lindss had her baby a few days ago. A beautiful little girl named Isabella.

We have our unisex car seat by the front door as well, but we're buying a pink one from a friend of mine with 2 bases. We're giving the unisex to my mom since my brother's also having a baby shortly after me.

I've tried reading the instructions online for installing a car seat. I'm still so confused. Hopefully someone at the hospital will show us/inspect it before we leave!
 
Im finding it near impossible to stay out of third tri forum and I still feel like Im pregnant. It still hasnt fully sunken in that our daughter decided to come early..

Im already missing being pregnant! Enjoy the last few weeks ladies eventhough I can understand you are super eager to meet your LOs!! Miss those kicks and rubbing my bump :D

I keep checking this thread for new arrivals, so exciting!!
 
INstalling a car seat seems really complicated when you first start but they are actually easy. If you give birth in a hospital here they check that baby is prperly installed into the car seat before you leave the hospital but they don't check your base in the car. In Canada there are drop ins by the insurance companies etc that check your car installation I am sure there is something similar there.
 
I know over here you can stop in at a babies r us or kiddicare and they'll check that you've installed it correctly.
