Lil' October Pumpkins 2013

[jbell157]

Last night i was having crazy lightening pains and some tightening. Woke up this morning and had low back pain which turned into period like cramping. I've felt off all day. Going to take a nap and see if I feel better.

Congrats goddess.

Low i'm the same. It's really getting me down. Going to try acupuncture again tomorrow, even though it didn't work last time i'm getting desperate. Wouldn't be so bad if i wasn't having irregular contractions every day as you are too.

I'm having strong contractions still today - no regularity as usual.

Got period pains all round my back and still losing bits of plug. Going to take myself to bed now and wallow in my own self pity.

Hope you get some movement soon Broody.

I am sorry to all you ladies with symptoms, but nothing happening yet. I lost my plug a week and a half ago, I have BHs, but nothing else.

 

[girlnboots]

Same here. Pretty sure my plug is completely gone, but my BH are picking up again. My tummy feels better today so I think I just ate something funny. Baby is definitely engaging more and more, but she's also moving my cervix back so I can't feel any dilation. Drives me nuts. I definitely think I'm over 3 cms now, but I have no way of knowing. We'll find out tomorrow if I've progressed past 2cm/80-ish%.

We've definitely decided that I will ask for an induction on the 16th (I'll be 40w+2). I can't miss more work waiting for her to appear on her own. Makes me feel terrible to put work before her development, but I just don't have a choice. My 4 weeks vacation time is completely up in the air because they didn't push it through before my leave.

Overall, I feel a lot more comfortable now that I'm off work. I have less stress and the toll on my body is minimal. I just wanna see my little girl so jealous of all you mommas and your new babies!

Good luck to those due soon.

My girls adore there new baby brother Maurice. My eldest is such a little mummy to him already she keeps asking to have cuddles with him and kissing his head bless her and as for my youngest she doesn't understand fully yet that he's a tiny baby but likes to help pat his back when burping him.

Currently doing a night fed (fed at 11:30 now 3).

Sending lots of labor dust to you all x

Thanks, you too hun xx

Young ni mum that is so cute.

Girlnboots i'm sure she will be fine by that point so i really wouldn't worry about being induced. Wish we could get it done earlier in the uk.

Think i've got a cold. Feel really bunged up and had a temperature in the night. Bit worried about giving it dylan if he's born before i'm better :-/

 

[SisterRose]

Broody - Hope you feel better soon. I'm crapping myself too as my DD is totally laid up to the eyeballs she's been couhing and spluttering literally all night and sounds really wheezy. Well, typically I am booked in today for induction so I'm more or less quarentining her today because I'm scared she'll pass it to me for labour, and then pass it to the baby

Young - LO sounds lovely, glad his big sisters are taking to him

 

[Girly922]

Good luck today SR!!

Hope you feel better soon broody.

I was woken up this morning by low ab pains that really hurt. Now, I've just got tightenings and backache. Seems like I'm going to have another day of my body playing tricks on me.

 

[broodymrs]

Well i don't have a cold. Just after i posted this morning had the most painful contraction ever. Since then lots of twinges but no more contractions and not bunged up so feeling ill in the night must have been lead up. Had my acupuncture this morning and just going to aquanatal now. I intend to evict this baby tonight!!! Wish me luck!

 

[ptr]

Still wishing you all labor !!!!

 

[Junebugs]

Good luck!!!!!

 

[lady1985]

Good luck broody!!

Well i'm no further no show, no contractions etc... I'm hoping this baby just suprises me! I have a hospital appointment tomorrow for monotoring...what ever that entails! I'm not really sure!

 

[lulu83]

Good luck with the eviction process!! Sending out lots of labor dust to everyone!!

 

[SisterRose]

Well it seems my little one is well and truly comfortable in there! Got to start the picotin drip. I was hoping id just go right in to labour after they broke my waters like i did with dd

 

[girlnboots]

Good luck!

I posted this on Facebook, but I'm 3 cm and fully effaced. Any time now, but induction's scheduled for the 16th if she turns stubborn.

 

[Murmers0110]

Well I've had a ton of bh tonight. A ton. They have not been painful. Uncomfortable yes. My stomach has jas been hurting some too. I dont feel real well. Almost nauseus. This sucks. Isb this what yall have been bitching about?

 

[girlnboots]

Pretty much, haha. That's how I felt last night. Just uncomfortable but not in any real pain.

I've gone from BH-type tightenings to general AF cramps and back pain. No start or stop to the cramps, just achy. Makes me want to curl in a ball with a heating pad and sleep. Had some instances of pink mucus, but I'm thinking it might be from the check today. It was pretty painful, so I'm not writing it off as my show yet. Maybe if it gets darker.

I'm so ready for Marin to get here, but I'm definitely not ready for the pain. Starting to get anxious and nervous. I think she'll be here by Wednesday.

 

[goddess25]

Good luck sister rose hope we get some news soon.

Wishing you lots of labour vibes soon.

 

[broodymrs]

Been thinking about you sis rose, thought it was taking a while! Hopefully not long.

Sorry you're feeling uncomfortable murmers. Girlnboots, hopefully it is your show. I've not bled after any of my internals so fx!

Well my eviction attempts have failed. Acupuncture, doing the food shopping and aquanatal just gave me a really achy crotch!! I give up, he's obviously going to have be dragged out. Felt really sorry for DH today, he's hopefully taken his hospital bag to work with him, hoping he would be en route to the hospital later even though I told him there is no sign. He's been convinced it was going to be today. I can guarantee it's not though. I hate being overdue, I know I shouldn't moan when me and Dylan are both doing well but I want my baby!! Ah well taking myself off for a nice pedicure later and then meeting my friend for tea, although don't know if I can be bothered with meeting her as I am sick of people quizzing me about when it's going to be.

Wonder if anyone will pop today? Low - how you doing?
