Todays midwife clinic has been cancelled and rearranged so have to wait till tomorrow morning now for my second sweep. Still having contractions and losing plug. 
I honestly feel like I'm going to be pregnant forever! 8 days overdue and feeling miserable.

Congrats Murmers, she is beautiful.
Low, i feel awful for you. I'm only 37 weeks and feeling crap. Really hope it's soon for you.
Well i was in hospital tuesday night because i thought my waters had broken. They did two test which were both negative. So midwife said i was probably just peeing myself! I know i've had two 3rd degree tears and have a slight incontinence issue, but it was flooding out in gushes for 9 hours. I went through a pack of sanitary towels and so many pairs of pants.
There was absolutely no smell to the fluid (even after the clothes had dried, when i went to wash them) and it was clear. I was also going to the toilet in between the leakages. Yesterday it slowed a little but i still soaked through 4 towels during the day. But today i've hardly had any.
My friend came with me to the hospital (she was also with me when the 'fluid' was leaking) she was so shocked when they said it wasn't my waters, she couldn't believe it.
When i've looked online there are a few storys of the amni test strips being negative then have been positive after a few days of leaking. So if it's still going tomorrow i'm going to see my doctor.
Only other explanation is i'm just constantly peeing myself, which seems so ridiculous with the amount. But if it is only pee, why just on tuesday? Midwife thinks because of change in position, but i'm sure he hasn't moved.
I'm clueless!!!

I'm going to have a proper catch up later so please don't think I'm ignoring anyone. I just wanted to quickly update you all on my very exciting day!! I'm keeping this secret so only telling you ladies and not family and friends just yet!
Well basically went for my 41 week appointment this morning. Saw yet a different dr and was thinking great I'm going to get fobbed off again, but actually the appointment was brilliant. He was in training to do scans so asked if he could do a scan which was fine by me, and he brought a consultant in to guide him. The consultant was fantastic. So I had a really detailed scan, lasted a good half an hour. Saw Dylan's beautiful little face again, saw his massive man bits!! Sorry but they are huge, no wonder there is no doubt he is a boy, so funny! Got all his measurements and he is definitely on track to be a 10lber! Eek! Everything is looking super healthy in there, lots of fluid still, he looks healthy, my placenta is getting a bit old but not enough to be concerning. But anyway the great news is that due to my crappy unfavourable cervix they weren't able to do a sweep again but they have said I don't have to wait any longer as all he is doing is getting bigger by the day. So I'm being induced on Saturday!! They have said there is a good chance of failure due to my cervix still being really posterior but they have said they aren't going to try too hard as actually they think due to his size getting him out vaginally may just not be a good idea. So if it isn't happening easily then they will get me in for a c section on Mon! I know some people would be horrified at this, but I don't care. I just want my little boy here no matter how he gets here, as long as he is delivered safely. Also kind of shitting it thinking I might have to push a 10lber out! Clearly my bits and pieces will never be the same again!!
So anyway I'm super excited about that, and then I have just received a phone call, and in the exact replica of my dream the other night someone wants to come and look round our house! It's been up for sale for 3 months with no interest so as in my dream I didn't feel I could say no, so they are coming Sat morning at 10am, and then my induction is at 1!! Wow, it's all go. Hoping this lady likes the house and doesn't want a second viewing as no doubt it is going to look like a bomb has hit it once me and Dilbobs get back from hospital! Also I nearly forgot to say, more excellent news, as hubby is a teacher his paternity leave is now going to fall perfectly so he'll get 2 weeks paternity, then a week off for half term so 3 weeks at home with us.
Yay! Such a happy bunny. Couldn't have fallen better really. I really should just learn that everything always works out for the best and stop trying to control everything! Anyway I need to clean now, will be back later to catch up on the news!!

Hello ladies!
I just caught up with all the posts.
Congratulations to all the new mums!
Nila is going to be 4 weeks old on sunday. I dont know where time has gone. I was a bit emotional on my due date and miss being pregnant already!
DS loves his baby sister to bits and she has been such a good and easy baby!
DS had his third surgery on his hips in the space of 10 weeks so we have been very busy. We are hoping DS gets to come out of plaster cast in another 6 weeks. In 6 weeks time he would have had the cast on him for 16 weeks..
Ill be stalking you ladies who are yet to have your LO's! Hopefully you overdue ladies dont have to wait too long now! Xx

Just got word my doctor is off-duty this weekend. The other doctor in the practice is decent enough, but what's the point of hand picking your own doctor? I feel like crossing my legs til Wednesday so I know for a fact my doctor will be there.

Broodymrs i know the feeling ppl are being like that with me about having a section if bub is still 'free' and not at all engaged.
Anybody would think we are popping into the vet for advice...not a specialist consultant..like we would do something that would harm our bubs. We just want the best for them AND us as mummies...sorry ranting! I've even had comments telling me i should wait the 42 weeks..um like do i wanna take the risk that bub will still not be engaged and a failing placenta??? My god some ppl should train as doctors if they think they are so bloody right...rant over

I've just noticed that I didn't correct my due date on my ticker or on the front page! It says 12th but it's actually the 13th after my dating scan.
I've had loads of BH and the odd occasional contraction. I had 2 really painful ones yesterday, and then went on to have very frequent BHs but nothing! I had my DD at 42+1 last time, so I'm settling in for the long wait. Saying that, I never had any sort of contraction until she was ready to come, my body didn't tease me!
The wait is agonising, especially having done it before...last time I still had hope, this time I'm rather pessimistic! The texts and messages have started already too. I'm just trying to keep in mind that it's not technically a post dates pregnancy until after 42 weeks. I want nothing to do at all with induction personally and would rather accept fetal monitoring, but god it's going to be really difficult to arrange turning up at the hospital all the time, argh. Pleeeease please come before it comes to that, baby!
My birth will hopefully be a homebirth too, and I'm kind of sick of cleaning absolutely everything till it sparkles just in case though. I'm lazy and just want to forget to hoover or wash the dishes for a day or something!
Congratulations to everyone who has finally met their babies! Is it me or has October been slow to start though? I'm on another parenting forum with a ladies waiting for October babies, and the only one who has come so far was one born early in September!

Preggyeggy- I know exactly what you mean.. I can relate to everything you said, including the home birth and cleaning!!
I have been pretty relaxed up until now... I had no sleep last night and I'm in a lot of pain.. my son keeps wanting me to pick him up but it is starting to get really hard.... I am ready for this baby to come out now

I've done loads of cleaning. Been nesting for weeks anyway but because of the house viewing tomorrow morning me and DH have totally blitzed everywhere. The plus side is at least the house is spotless for after the birth. Don't know if it's all the cleaning that has set me off as been so achey today but lost loads of plug tonight! Hoping this means the induction will work tomorrow and I'll avoid the c section on Mon. Would love to have my baby by the early hours of Sunday morning!
Good luck with the induction tomorrow, broody! That's great that your DH will have three weeks off with you.
I hope everyone else is doing well and not too uncomfortable! I'm betting there will be a few more babies this weekend!!
