[crowned]

I still don't know if DTD works, as it's what sets off my 'false labour' every time, and I end up with hours and hours (9 hours yesterday!) of contractions and then they taper out to nothing. Not sure if it's worth the pain anymore...

 

[lozza1uk]

MsC read your spoiler but really don't know what to say to help as I've not been through anything similar, but didn't want to just ignore you! I think id mostly just be feeling relief? Guess hormones at the moment mean emotions can be all over the place though x

Nic to you too! Hope things speed up for you x

 

[loolindley]

Sorry about the scanning through all the posts and not replying personally. This Internet speed is driving me bonkers!

Lozza text a bit ago. So nice to hear from someone as the only people who know we are in are parents and sibblings and they are all leaving me alone!

Had my 2nd load of gel about an hour ago, in a stronger dose this time (why didn't they just give me that last time!!!

Highlight of day is when I got man handled into some DVT socks (why???? Are you expecting me to be here a long time

And tea. I got my ham salad. Got in there before Mrs Contraction next door did. Ok, so the fact that I would have rather had the pasta on offer is irrelevant. I got my ham salad!!!

Don't think Al will be winning the birth bet (boy, born tomorrow at 3am, 8lb 4oz), I think I am more likely (girl, tomorrow 2pm, 8lb 14oz) To be fair, I think we are both in cloud cuckoo land thinking its going to be 8lb anything!

Hope you are all having a good night? xx

MrsCrow - glad you are having a better day...it has it's ups and downs but the ups soon start to outweigh the downs...hang in there

Joanna - glad LO is moving again, probably just no room left. x

Loo - I am predicting a girl born tomorrow at 11.13am weighing 9lbs 5oz I was going to text you but didn't want to intrude or you think I was stalking you...not that Lozza is anyhoo sure things will start to progress soon

 

[Nicnak282]

So sorry I'm such a grouch today...will defo try and pick myself up when tomorrow is over and still no sign. Your comments are a great tonic!!

MsCrow - that so did cheer me up!! So glad that you are enjoying the gift!!! Can just imagine little Edith determinely making a fist...a strong lady like her mama I think in the making!!! Xx

Widger - you are so right I think I would've been ok if I hadn't been given false hope...ah well in the big scheme of things a few days are not going to matter a jot! Must learn to be patient!!! Xx

Hope all you ladies with gorgeous babies are having the best time and thinking of the laddies being induced at this moment. So exciting!!! Xx

[Nicnak282]

Loo - I'm predicting a girlie at 15.05pm tomorrow weighing in at 8lb 13oz - good luck hon and well done you on beating contracting lady to the ham salad!!!!!!

Xx

Loo, I say a boy tomorrow 8:17 am, 8 lb 6 oz... I think you will be one of those women who gets to say, "They told me my baby was going to be massive but they were wrong!"



MsC, I'm sure it's less than ideal but the idea of little Edith grabbing your fingers to stop you from bothering her is the cutest thing. Strong little girl!

Emera, hope it's not an infection.

Loo, (again) oh lord, those socks are crazy. I've worn flight socks on and off in third tri and by the time I get them on its time for a nap. Oh, and glad it was the right floor!

Just finished yoga... Am definitely the grande dame of bellies in there now!

I know I've dropped, I can feel it. It's not " lightening" as she was never very heavy on my upper body... It's just "heavyening" on my lower abdomen.

Hope everyone is good, love the vibe in here lately with the mix of mamas.

 

[lozza1uk]

Loo - I only texted as I know how annoying trying to load BnB on no 3G signal can be! And I'll also guess boy, lunchtime tomorrow. 7lb 12.

 

[crowned]

Guessing boy for loo, 4 pm tomorrow, 9 lb 3 oz.

 

[MsCrow]

Hmmm, I reckon for Loo a girl at 7:30am tomorrow. You made me laugh, bagging the salad. But it's true, you're left to whatever the woman the day before ordered, you therefore have to be fast to get a decent choice!

Thanks Lozza for replying. I deleted the spoiler as it's too intense for this particular time with so many laddies about to labour.

Edith just chewed my nipple. Ouch.

 

[kymied]

I bought fabric to make curtains for the baby's room, they're going to be amazing. (Almost $50 in fabric they better be!) The lady cutting the fabric was like "You're due tomorrow?! Are you going to get the curtains made in time?" I dunno I might, it depends on how much of a slow poke he is. I'll probably finish the curtains before hubby finishes the rest of the room. *sigh*
But before I start on that project I'm going to take a nap. And then probably have dinner. I want some of those salty chips/fries, I'll pass on the fish though.

 

[Joannaxoxo]

I predict girl for loo at 7lbs at 3am.

AFM - still got cramps, no more plug loss except that small amount from this morning. Baby was more active this afternoon but is quiet again, so I'm sure he's just run out of room. DH and I went on a walk and I had a couple of BH but none since. So I guess my body is doing something just slowly.

How's everyone else doing? Any news from mitch?

 

[Mrs Cupcake]

well just finished my spicy nepalese takeaway meal... fingers crossed! lol

still no sign of baby

nothing exciting to report at all other than my dinner was delicious!!

kymied - im sure your baby curtains will be amazing

FT I meant to say, I really like Button and Webber, but always happy if our boys win!

Hope all you lads are doing great! I was going to do proper answer type things but my head is fried from Roh being a monkey tonight and not going to bed! Having to put him back a hundred times gets wearing when its achy to stand right now. Feeling a bit shabby myself. About to get in the bath to soothe the boobs and my aching tummy. I'm hoping the discomfort is just another clot or so waitng and not a uterine infection, that's going to be crappy if it is. Have a doctor coming to check me out tomorrow with orders to report to delivery suite if my bloodloss increases or I get worse. Freyja is soo sleepy its hard work waking her up to feed properly. Saying that I think my flow is pretty fast, so the poor girl is probably getting full really fast!

6r
Freyja's cord stump fell off today so we gave her her first bath, it was cute! She liked it (fell asleep! ) and Roh was all amused at there being someone else in the bath, he kept trying to wash her and poke her belly button! Got some lovely piccies but they are all a bit nudey to post (more that OH was in the bath rather than the kids being nudey )
Mmm, early night after my bath now Roh has given up for the night

Hope everyone has a safe night with sleep on the cards, and we all wake to lovely baby news!

 

[firsttimer1]

no news from mitch yet Joanna,

cupcake - i had spicy food for dinner but actually hadnt thought of the ''spice effect; Thing is - i always eat spicy food so at what point would it suddenly have an effect

camping in living room tonight its my tradition for the australian f1 which starts at 6am..... means we wake up and turn on the big screen... if i was in bed i wouldnt move

 

[wondertwins]

MsCrow- when you're ready, I hope you'll repost your story. I missed it and would love to read it.

 

[loolindley]

Evening lads!

Lozza, I loved getting a text. Thank you

All these kind predictions! An thinking of reassessing mine until next week sometime!!!

Been bouncing for 2 and a half hours, and not a sausage to report. Been told they will do another gel and see if they can break my waters in the morning.

Ooh. Something to look forward to!!!!

Night lads. FT, enjoy your sleepover!!! xxx

 

[kymied]

Emera the cord stump fell off already? I thought it was supposed to take like 10 days? She must be a fast healer. I hope I get a fast healer I think the stumps look really gross, I can't wait for a cute belly!

 

[Widger]

Predict boy 9.40pm tomo.... Sorry Loo

City - with you on the low down aches - ouch. This little one can't stop head butting down there, currently has the hiccups

Kymied - I can guarantee when hubby wants baby out of your room, he will suddenly do the jobs... That's what happened to me

Night everyone xx
