Lil' October Pumpkins 2013

well im officially due this month (even tho baby was ment to arrive September) 4 days over due and feeling very huge and fed up :/ x
 
My DH doesn't want to DTD either. I know I'm not exactly my most attractive now so can't really blame him! Apparently I'm still pretty and cute, but not sexy. Thanks hubby, how lovely!

PTR sorry you weren't induced today, fingers crossed for your due date on Thursday!

I've felt as many movements as normal but like the rest of you they are small not big movements. I also find I have to really pay attention to them, if I just go about my normal day it feels like he's being quiet. I actually ended up in hospital last night having movements monitored. My liver bile acid is pretty high so they think I might have obstetric cholestasis so got sent in for a review, will get results Thursday (due date!) at consultant appointment. I mentioned my concerns about the movements so they monitored me for that too but all was fine, in fact he was over active and they wouldn't let me home until he had calmed down!

I actually feel like I don't want to go into labour atm as had so many unintentional sleepless nights lately I am knackered. So is DH and he is being a right mardy arse. I really don't want my son coming into the world to a pair of knackered, mardy parents!! I've also decided to knock my self induction techniques on the head. Obviously nothing is working. I just end up making myself really uncomfortable and having contractions that fizzle out to nothing so I am just waiting it out now. I'm even considering not having my sweep on Thursday as last Thursday's stretch only gave me period pains. Dylan will come when he's ready, it just seems pointless at this point trying to force him out as he's obviously far too comfortable in there!

Anyone else thinking they are just leaving nature to take it's course and not trying to get baby out sooner?

Anyway I'm off for a nice early night now with a cuppa and a good book and no DH as he's at football, absolute bliss! Night ladies.

Bless you hun, at least every day is a day closer to baby arriving. Hopefully not much longer for you.
 
Young.. sorry your over due I know how frustrating that can be.

Sisterrose- you always make me feel better thou!!! I'm glad our babies are so in sync

Lol.. I tried to dtd the other day with dh but the bump was to in the way and dh said he could feel that he was hitting the baby in the head!!!! Lol needless to say it ended fast... hahahahh
 
Sorry that things are getting uncomfortable, ladies! At least most of you can officially say that you are having a baby this month. ;)
So we only had 6 September babies, huh? I wonder how many November turkeys we'll end up with. :haha:
Lots of labor dust to all! :dust:
I hope your babies don't keep you waiting for much longer. I'm excited to see who will have our first official October pumpkin. :D
 
I have to concentrate on mine too esp if I am counting.

Lots of back pain and pretty intense bh for me today. I am really tired.
 
Im not doing anything to hurry mine along. I do know that at the absolute latest I will have her on the 25th which will 4 days late. She will be an october pumpkin :)
 
Big ol' rant here. Feel free to skip it, I just need to get this out.

The further I get, the better the 7th looks for an induction date. I feel like all my energy is being drained out of me and my ribs are so, so sore. Even though Marin dropped, her feet and tailbone are still pressed into my sternum so I can hardly breathe. I'm angry and hateful all the time and my OH is totally insensitive.

I posted on the Facebook group how rude he was being tonight and it's just gotten worse. I was watching a show and he just comes in and changes the channel. Then he talks and blabbers about having all the stray kittens stay the night in our house since "pickles misses her friends". He picked HIS favorite show and then sat there and talked through it for 2 hours. He doesn't just talk, he blabbers on and on about stupid stuff, makes obnoxiously loud noises repetively in my ear, starts arguments about anything from a show we're watching to the fate of the world.

He has ibs and ate a LARGE blizzard from DQ and baked beans. Apparently that gives him the right to throw his legs over his head and fart and laugh hysterically because it smells and I'm OBVIOUSLY sensitive to smells. He will grab our cat and fart on her head and laugh like its the best thing on earth.

He constantly provokes me and tries to upset me and annoy me, then tells me how cranky and grumpy I am. Well, if I tell you that I don't want you to touch me right now and you practically force me off the bed by moving your leg closer everytime I move mine away, I'm going to get pissed.

He completely disrespects my house by smoking inside even though I repeatedly ask him not to and leaves trash everywhere, barely chips in anything for bills (even while I'm not working), and then bitches when I ask for help, like going down two flights of stairs with a basket full of laundry when I can't even see my feet.

I swear, the closer this baby gets, the more and more immature he gets. He makes rude comments about how I'm not working right now and how lazy I am, but turns around and tells me how I need to find a better job when I'm released back to work or how we're going to pay the bills since "I won't be working anymore". I have every intention of going back to work SOMEWHERE after my leave is up.

Oh my god, I'm going to either kill him or explode.
 
Broody, I'm def riding it out naturally... Haven't dtd, bounced or inserted EPO or had any sweep. No worries, sometimes it's easier to just let something happen while we wait for it than trying and expecting and hoping that the things we're doing are going to do something!

Young, hope you go in very soon!! You're definitely due!

Hot bump, are you in labor?!?!?

Girl boots, I'm sorry your oh is being an idiot... Sometimes they act the way they do because secretly they're either panicking or not realizing the severity of how life is going to change but either way he's going to get a ride awakening and karma is a bitch, just saying. Keep your chin up, it will be ok!

As for me.... Nada. Still pregnant. I did get my sewing that I was doing for my SIL all done so I don't have to worry about it after baby arrives. Yay!
 
O dear girlnboots! Not what you need at the moment. I'd be tempted to give him a good slap, lol! No advice unfortunately but hope he starts behaving himself soon hun.
 
Ugh, thank you. I just can't deal with him anymore. He doesn't even act like he wants this baby, so I'm hoping that changes as soon as she's "real" to him. Maybe I'll be able to get some help with the dishes.

Anyways, the only thing I'm really doing to help things along is walk. I get bored being stuck at home all day, and its nice to have the time now as I didn't before. Just trying to stay active so I don't turn into a blob. I'm progressing like I should to have an on-time baby, so it's not hurting or helping anything too much.
 
Girl - I sympathise with you I would slap him too!! He sounds like he really needs to do some growning up...thing is you have to think for you this baby is 'real' but for him it's not quite yet, (for my dh its the same) and so you have to reflect back on your relationship 9 months ago before this baby was conceived...if he was the same then you have changed and he hasn't, it's not ur fault or his from both views and you have to find some middle ground to compromise. Maybe he will change when baby is born, maybe he won't, maybe you'll realise how hormones are really effecting our thinking...all I can say is ride it out for now you got this far!! AND go in another room if he's bothering you...he'll soon get the message, these male creatures do not like to be ignored!! hehe :thumbup:
 
Hotbump - what's happening? :happydance:

I've just seen my consultant this morning (40 weeks today!!) and told her I don't want another section.

If baby doesn't show I'm booked for induction on Oct 14th.

I have a sweep tomorrow morning so I'm really hoping that'll set things off! :wacko:
 
Happy due date, Low!!!!! fx the sweep does something for you!!
 
Happy due date low. Hope the sweep does something tomorrow.
 
Happy due date low! hopefully with you having so many practice runs this last few weeks the sweep will really kick things off.

Ive had my (now last) consultant appointment today. My induction has been moved forward from the 10th to monday 7th because my blood sugars are getting a bit higher and also reduced movements I had the other day. Im actually crapping myself now! Id already planned when I was going to clean, do things, do some washing, put stuff together and now I have three days less to do it in so time to get moving. I'm also worried about induction now because ill only be 37+4 i was 38+4 last pregnancy when they induced me so a week farther along. The baby has had steroids at 32 weeks to help her lungs but im worried she might be too tiny/not ready :-( I suppose they know what's for the best though and it is only 3 days sooner than planned.
 
Does the dr sound confident that the baby's lungs are mature or at least mature enough for delivery, Sisterrose?

I can't believe October 1st passed and no one is screaming labor yet :haha:
 
We do need an October baby ladies!! Could be you ptr! I'm goin Friday at 11:30, but I'm quite certain you'll beat me, if not someone else will! Bring on the pumpkins ladies!
 
I honestly am not holding my breath!!! They could be full tomorrow as well and have no room for me to come in and potentially have to wait yet another day.... :shock:

I will be callling this evening just to see how full they are and to gauge the chances of me going in tomorrow.
