Yay hot bump! You got the first pumpkin!

Dream ill be excited to here about your scan and i couldnt be more thrilled for you and your rainbow!
 
Congrats Hot Bump!! That is pretty impressive, hope I'm the same!!!
 
I wish I could call dibs on being next. Don't think it works that way. :-(
 
Congrats hot bump!!

Can't wait to hear about your scan Dream! I know how hard would have been due dates are :hugs:
 
Hope everything goes well with your anatomy scan dream! thanks for popping in

ptr - fingers crossed you get in for today

Low - Sounds promising, hope today is FINALLY the day for you :haha:

Hotbump - Congrats on your little boy, and our "first" october pumpkin of the month :)
 
Congrats Hotbump!! - you should rename yourself to speedybump :haha:

OK sorry this is prob way TMI......I know you ladies including Low have been talking bout a 'clear out' well yesterday I has x3 BM's before noon and today straight on the loo as soon as I woke up (I've never been able to BM in the am so it's really strange) maybe I'm just wishful thinking but i'm hoping it's a sign all the same!!

I have my check up at 3pm GMT+1 today - can't wait....gonna take my crystal ball and ask him to predict if I will pop before the weekend is out (would be nice!!) Well if I had a crystal ball...I would :haha:
 
Congrats hotbump!!

Good luck today ptr! I hope they fit you in.

Good luck with your scan dream!

Lady - I've taken to ignoring any poop signs now. I've so far had 3 non-consecutive days of clear-outs. Not fun. And they meant nothing :(

Last night I had a really vivid dream that my waters broke and I was at home trying to get contractions to start properly before going in. I woke up to pee to find out none of it was real. So disappointing!! It felt so real.
 
Just popping in quickly to say good luck for today ptr, will be thinking of you.

Congrats hotbump!!
 
Happy full term day Broody - hoping baby makes an appearance for you soon. x
 
Fair enough i'm just turning into an am pooper lol

As for your dream Girly I'm with you on that I would be super disappointed too! I said to DH the other day after waking up from a nap that I wish I could go to sleep and wake up with baby on my arms....

Happy full term Broody!!!! Excited for you!!
 
Houston! We have liftoff! It's a go!!! Heading in at 7 am!

I am going to update throughout the labor as much as I can but it will be on my journal - it would be too much to update two places at teh same time :haha:

Link to my journal is in my signature. EEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKkkkk!!!!!!!
 
Good luck ptr!! Can't wait to hear how it goes :)

I've resigned myself to the fact that this baby has desire to be born anytime soon so we're off Xmas shopping.

On a brighter note, I got my letter from HR at work confirming my commencement of maternity leave. It states that once my mat leave finishes, I have to take any accrued annual leave straight away. Meaning that I should get baby's 1st birthday off :happydance:
 
wahoo....go ptr!

Girly, that's great you get to be off until the 1st bday. I'm only taking 3 months with full pay, but that's lucky here in America.

Lady, I hope it's really a clear out for you and things get moving.

There's a 5k charity walk that I participate in every year this Sunday. I wasn't planning on walking because I'm so big, but I think I just might do it...it couldn't hurt and if she's ready, it could speed things up :)
 
I think walking and bouncing on my ball helped Dylan move down.

Just got back from my consultant appointment. I'm not impressed. She still couldn't reach do to sweep so had another stretch. She says things have progressed since last week but not that much. She was able to tickle his head which was funny but apparently my cervix is still posterior and not dilated so I'm booked next Thurs which will be 41 weeks for another attempt at a sweep. I asked about induction but I am now the healthiest I've been all pregnancy! The only thing actually wrong with me now is slightly low platelets but they are not a concern so as there is no medical reason and my cervix isn't favourable to an induction she has said they won't do that at the moment. She did say today's examination might move things along but she is 80% sure I'll be back next week for the sweep, and said I may even go more overdue than that. So I have now resigned myself to the fact that I am probably going to go 2 weeks over, and then probably end up being induced in the end anyway. I was so gutted, just had to get out of there and went to my mum's house for a good cry. I know it's silly as both me and Dylan are in fantastic health so I am very lucky but I just want to meet my little boy. I don't think I've done myself any favours by thinking he was going to be early.

Does anyone in the UK know when they induce you for going over? I thought it was 2 weeks but my SIL says she thinks it is 10 days.
 
Oh and on the subject of clear outs I've bee having them for a few weeks now so for me it means nothing!

Thanks for all the 'happy full term/due date messages btw!
 
I thought it was 10 days (I'm not from the uk but I have had many friends go over from there)... its 10 days here... I'm sorry hunny I know how frustrating it is to be overdue (I was almost 2 weeks with mason)... just know that no matter what he will be in your arms in the next 2 weeks and you'll have him with you for the rest of.your life!! So 2 weeks isn't long to wait :)
 
Wishing you a wonderful birth Brandi. Cant wait to read the updates.
 
Good luck ptr! :happydance:

I'm now overdue broody and in the UK - I've been scheduled for induction at 12 days over. (VBAC too)

I saw my midwife today and my 15 minute appointment turned into 45 minutes! He's creating drama and he's not even here yet! :dohh:

Everything is fine, I had a sweep but she could feel fingers up by his head!! :wacko: She called the MAU and spoke to numerous people / midwives / registrars who have all said it's fine, it's written in my notes and if he doesn't show I've got another sweep booked for next Thursday. She's just never experienced that in all her years as a midwife and said that's probably the reason behind things stopping and starting! :dohh:

Since getting home I've had some strong contractions and lots of on / off strong period pains and some brown discharge so I'm hopeful!! :happydance:
