its so hard to spot signs isn't it? i had no appetite yesterday and my mum thought that was a sign but i have woken up this morning ravenous! so who knows.
 
ive been hungier and hungrier... even when feeling a little sick :dohh: :haha:

urgh i feel a bit bleurgh about todays appt. I think if she tells me digs isnt engaged at ALL then i may cry. Im sick of being house bound cos of pelvis worries :( i think i just want information after the complete lack of it at GP appt. Cant believe that was 2 weeks ago already though!!!

so weve got laura being induced today... then who do we reckon is next?.... LOO?
 
Waula - I've just read your birth story and am sat here in a puddle of tears. Not wanting to be patronising, but how brave are you to be going through all that, and still stick your guns about what you felt was best for Noah. There must be so many people who just 'go with what doctor says', but you didn't, and I think thats great. I'm so glad that Noah cuddles seem to make up for all the pain and trauma, and I just think you're fab to have gone through it like you did. :hug:

Eeeeeekk! Someones having an emotional day!!! :cry::cry::cry:

FT, I was slightly excited/grossed out by sitting on the toilet with a toilet paper full of slime, but like I said, I googled it, and it SO doesn't mean labour is starting. Bah.

Just been for a walk with the dogs, was out for an hour, and I was SO slow. Not in hospital until 3.45 this afternoon so plenty of time to do nowt!

yer yer....... your next. :coffee:

:rofl:
 
Will post properly in a bit, but FT, I've been engaged since 34 weeks and it hasn't made any difference to how quickly LO will appear so I wouldn't worry if Digs hasn't!
 
If you say so!!!!! I'll turn up at the hospital this afternoon with my bags then and say "FT says I'm next, so I thought i'd come prepared" and see what they say!!! :rofl:

Besides, s/he CAN'T come today.....I have a bush wax appointment at 4pm tomorrow, and I daren't let anyone look at it until it's been tamed!!! :rofl:
 
Loo - thats a great plan, please let me know if you need me to ring the mat ward first and let them know ;)

im torn. do i want digs tomorrow... or do i want to watch the first F1 of the season and THEN have digs? Mmmmmm. Not that it makes a difference. We all know digs will be induced :rofl: :rofl:

Lozza... thats true.... but i wanna feel like im making SOME progress you know?? I feel like my bump had moved back up too :haha: im doing this all backwards! :haha:

wonder if mitch is off having her indian massage thingy already.... i dont even know what an indian one is!
 
cupcake - whispers...i'm EXCITED for you hun!!!! massive hugs :hugs:

Loo - thanks - and sorry for setting you off - writing it all down was like therapy for me to be honest!!!! and love the fact your LO now can't arrive til bush wax is done :rofl: he/she will be getting confused in there!!!

FT - i think you're going to get settled into F1 then there be a pop and a puddle!!! :haha:

AFM i'm still in yesterdays PJ's (does that get me a badge for being most minging march mama???!) as someone is asleep on me and too cute to wake....

Emera (the oracle!!!) when your milk came in did you feel ill at all??? had huge headaches the past 2 days and keep waking up at night completely sweaty - again, think i deserve the most minging badge lads??!!!!! i had puddles of sweat in my ears. didn't even know ears could sweat.

Hiya...just off for my pedicure first....followed by indian head massage. The head massage is all scalp, neck and shoulders and should help with this cracking headache i have had for 2 days again :cry:. Have 30 mins between appt so going to google any pressure points she should hit for me. For pedicures they probably know what to avoid...on this occasion i shall be telling her to hit them all...several times:happydance:

Good luck at your appt today loo

Wooop for mynew fruiting partner cupcake....hope things progress today for you.

Although no one wants to choose to be induced i must say i feel alot happier that i have a date now...if she comes before then fantastic but just knowing the end is in sight is all i need :happydance:

Waula...read your story....i really hope i am as amazingly strong as you and know what is right and wrong for my body. Silly questionbut do you think being a vet and involved in birthing helped or was it just intuition?

Yeah for WT having a better night :hugs:

Shall catch you all this afternoon i am sure :thumbup:
 
waula - i demand another photo of the cuteness currently sleeping on you!!! :)

and if my waters break whilst the sunday race is on.... well...... in the words of shaggy.... it wasnt me! :shrug: :haha:

right im off to begin my slow walk to the doctor surgery which is only 5 mins away.... but no doubt my pelvis will let me know its dying. Stroppy pelvis. :dohh:

will update when back. xxx
 
mitch - i think being a vet probably did help a bit - i would have caesar'd me 24 hours earlier if i was a cow and did tell the Dr that but i think after 70 hrs of no progression i was happy to trust myself - i'd had enough to be honest and thought if i had then Noah had too.

by the way, i didn't have the normal induction with pessary/gel - just had the drip and went into full mad contractions - know lots of people who got pessaries and that was enough to start them naturally without drips etc... xxx
 
mitch - im planning on making your hazelnut and chocolate version of your cookies. how chopped do you do the nuts? or do you leave them whole?

hopefully catch you before you leave

ps im not sure about my contractions. i think they are wearing off..... poop
 
cupcake i made those cookies when i was early labour - they went down a treat with the midwives!!!!!! i just roughly chopped them - mix is quite dry so poss wouldn't bind together if not chopped a bit!!! have fun!!! xxx
 
Waula read your story and also read it to OH and it choked me up doing it. He's still ranting now, your story enraged him (think now he's delivered a baby he's a self-styled women's advocate, hmm male doula in the making?:haha:) anyway the way you were treated made us both angry! :hugs: i'm so glad you are a strong'un and trusted your body and instincts!

As for milk coming in, :holly: its mad eh? I sweat like mad yes, its gross, literally a pool of sweat, my nightclothes get soaked!! As far as headaches, it wouldn't surprise me if you are quite dehydrated. Drink TONS, this morning I woke up and downed 2 pints of water, haven't needed the loo since. BF uses loads of liquid, you need to hydrate a lot more than you realise! I have a 2 litre jug with water in I add a vit C tablet (fizzy type) some squash, some rescue remedy (10 drops or so) and 2 sachets of rehydration powders and just keep drinking it. I drink one of those a day and then water on top often. :thumbup:
 
MrsC/Laura/Nic (and maybe Loo!) - sounds like you're all in various stages of labour, good luck! :flower:

Waula - thanks for the birth story, really interesting and I was going to ask the same as Mitch whether being a vet helped you take a firm stance with the doctors!

Wouldluv - Braxton is gorgeous!! :hugs:

Kym - love the nursery, and pleased you're nearly there with it!

Wondertwins - hooray for a better night's sleep!:happydance: I've downloaded a white noise app but might need to look into getting the sleep sheep too!

I only got up at 10.30 today, getting lazier by the day. I've decided I may as well lie in as getting up early doesn't help me get to sleep at night so I think i still got 9 hours (broken). :shrug: So now its 11.30 and i've done nothing yet. Had a letter from work though telling me exactly how much i'll get paid per week now until the end of maternity leave - too scary to read just yet!
 
Right im back!

Digs is 2/5 engaged and due to pelvis she offered to do a s+s before i had to ask (yippeee)... unfortunately my cervix is closed BUT its verrryyyy soft (would that be EPO? who knows)

anyway so it looks like digs isnt preparing to enter the world for a while yet. She said doggy style sex, lots of it. :haha:

she guessed digs will be nearly 9lb LOL... she said this seems to be the norm nowadays tho for overdue babies... we'll see. Im not opposed to having up to a 10lber simply for the weight loss :rofl:

Fetal HB was 145.

im seeing her again on friday and she said she will offer me another s+s if i want one.... but she will also book me in then for an induction within the next 4 days.... so if digs doesnt come naturally i will be induced by 27th xxx

Interestingly she did say if i reallllyyyy wanted that she could arrange an early induction because of my pelvis, but as baby is OK and i want to avoid induction if poss - i said no.

Seen as i said no..... im now going to relax about it all.... digs will come.... eventually. :haha:
 
Lozza - I didn't get up until 11.00am either! didn't go to bed until 2.00am and loads of broken sleep in between but feel I've caught up a bit now :thumbup:

I can't remember who is in labour/possibly early labour now :dohh:

Laura - good luck with the induction :hugs:
Loo - Think you'll find at 39+ weeks if your plugs gone baby won't be weeks away :rofl:
MrsCupcake - This early stage can last quite a while and contractions can become erratic...keep yourself busy and I hope things progress for you :hugs:

FT - good luck at the MW's. I have no idea how engaged babies head is either....not really worrying about it as it can engage when labour starts so not really a clear indication that labour is imminent as Lozza said.

Mitch - enjoy your pampering :hugs:

Waula - :cry::cry: your story made me cry! I'm not a vet but quite strong willed so think I'd have been kicking off after such a long time too! I mean seriously what were they thinking :shrug: If people can have elective sections why the hell would they leave a Mother and Baby so long when clearly all the artificial medication isn't progressing labour!
I wish I had asked for the Epidural when I had the drip :winkwink: I was too late to get anything else but gas and air I dilated that quickly on it.
I'm just glad you are both OK :hugs:
As Emera said - drink loads and loads of fluid. I used to drink probably a pint glass of vimto or similar with every feed.

Sorry if I've missed anyone. :hugs:
 
FT - you do realise Mitch is going to be doing a lot of this when she reads you got your S&S :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry: :rofl:

At least you know you've got until 27th maximum...that's not long at all! especially if you have another S&S :hugs:
 
thanks glow xxx yer im glad that things are being put in place but im sooooooo desperate to avoid induction..... so lets hope digs shows in next week :)

Hope ur feeling OK glow :hugs: broken sleep sucks :(
