Laura congratulations! Love the name!

Loo and Mitch good luck still! Xxx

MsC what a cute card!

I got a card with money inside "as I already had choccies and flowers so I can treat myself to whatever I like" plus a 2 hour babystting voucher from OH to go and spend it

Had my mum here today too, got her a silver bracelet with 2 heart charms on, one for each grandchild OH cooked us a roast dinner and pudding and we watched the F1 on the bbc . A lovely day

I keep having mini panic episodes where I think, "I forgot to send my mom something for Mother's Day!" and then remembering it's not until May here.

congrats laura - lovely name and a big baby!! gosh!

good luck loo and mitch, hope the inductions go smoothly. you never know you might get mothers day babies afterall.

absolutely no signs of my baby arriving any time soon...

im just reading back on what everyone else has been up to!

 

[Widger]

Congratulations Laura on your baby girl. Hope manage to get some rest xx

Loo/Mitch - thinking of you both xx

Crowned - I thought about you getting pains after dtd so decided to give it a miss

Happy due date Kymied.

Treated to flowers, card and a photo for Mother's day. Love my baby boy. Will have to wait next year now to see who will be buying me a card

Well, there aren't many of us left now are there? I've got a feeling I'm going to be in for the long haul now. Who reckons they'll be here in April? Meeeeeeeee!

 

[blessedmomma]

happy moms day to UK ladies! and congrats on the new babies

 

[Nicnak282]

Congrats Laura - hope you're feeling ok now honey - gorgeous name by the way!!! xx

Loo/ Mitch/ KK - hope labours are going well (and not too painful!!). Thinking of you all laddies and look forward to hearing news of some adorable new 's very soon! xx

AFM - spent most of today in tears Think it's a combination of being disappointed at all these labour aches and pains and no progression; my due date coming (and nearly going) without any baby and also it being Mothering Sunday as I'm missing my mum more than anything this year and could really do with her reassuring mum-ness.

So all in all will be glad to see the back of today - bring on tomorrow and I promise to stop the downer...honest.

Lots of love to the rest of you guys xxxx

Aww Nic, sorry today has been difficult for you. I'm feeling anxious and wanting my baby and I'm still 10 days off my due date yet. So you have every right to feel this way. Congratulations on getting to your due date though. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you!

 

[kymied]

So it's totally fun to go to stores and tell the sales people that your due date is today. The reactions are great! "And you're here buying shades?" "Oh that's exciting!" "Feel like he's going to come soon?" "Yeah, both my boys were late."

My friend went out to lunch when she was in early labor. The waitress said "Oh mommy looks uncomfortable." My friend calmly answered "Well mommy's in labor." Freaked the waitress out. Hilarious!

My hubby is still saying he has two weeks. I keep saying "tomorrow." "If it's before Tuesday we won't have to pay for another ultrasound." I'm getting sick of all the co-insurance bills.

EVENING!

Laura - Huge congrats on baby Astrid... i think her name means beautiful? might be wrong - im sure u know... and im sure she is

Nicnak - sorry your a little down hunni, today must be hard if you miss your mum as for due date.... i know its hard but just think, one way or another in under 2 weeks u will hv your baby

Emera - great gifts! hope uve enjoyed your 1st mothers day as a mum of TWO!

widger - i wont be having an april baby (dont think i can) BUT im here for a while longer yet .... thats for sure!!! x

Loo / Mitch - hope ur both OK ladies sounds like Loo may be a mama today but mitch early tomorrow......? loads of love xxx

as for me no loss of plug, no contractions etc..... feel heavier down below but bump looks same (??!!), weeing has become hard (feels like something is blocking it??) Very boring and non committed LOL

DTD last night and will continue to put EPO ''down below''..... tho i SWEEARRRRR its all coming out the following morn in my wee !!!

 

[Mrs Cupcake]

happy due date nicnack - sorry its not been a very 'happy' day for you but hopefully tomorrow will be better. it must be hard without your mum.

at least if your having pains/uncomfortable i might mean baby is on its way even if slowly. i have nothing!!

midwife tomorrow morning for another S&S. im really hoping that she doesnt say my cervix is fully closed and unfavourable again. i think i will be majorly demoralised... i really dont want to be induced.

plus im only have 6 months off as maternity leave and at this rate im only going to have 5 months with the baby....

 

[lozza1uk]

FT - I think we're the only ones not experiencing any sort of labour symptoms of any sort whatsoever!! Except perhaps a couple who aren't close to due date yet. If you don't go before me with everything you've tried I'll be amazed!

Nic - must have been a tough day, least it's nearly over

Kym - your stories always make me laugh!

Keep logging on for news of Mitch & loo so I'm disappointed there's nothing!

 

[firsttimer1]

Lozza - the thing is i havent really tried anything EPO and RLT are for the actual labour and thats all ive done. The eggplant was fun but think we all knew it was a waste of time The things that seem to work (long walks) i cant do cos of my pelvis so its just a waiting game DH and i have always DTD throughout pregnancy..... i read that to induce labour u need to do it twice a day.... or even better swallow after a you know.... NO WAY are we doing that! twice a day? I would die

I just read this thing on ''40 weeks'' pregnant and it says:

• by 40 weeks your bump will have dropped - NOPE
• By 40 weeks your pelvis will be pressured - NOPE
• By 40 weeks difficulty sleeping is an understatement - NOPE
• By 40 weeks you will experience more Bhicks - NOPE
• By 40 weeks you will experience these signs.... blah blah.... - NOPE

im beginning to wonder if my sonographer meant 14th april and not march!

 

[lozza1uk]

Ha ha, maybe that's my problem too! I can also answer no to all of those! I've tried walking (not sure 30-40 mins counts as "long" though but not dtd and definitely not the swallowing!!! At least your parents won't miss out as I guess they're back soon?!

Edit - oh apart from difficulty sleeping, but it's been the same for the last 3 months!

 

[firsttimer1]

Parents are back on sunday so hoping digs comes a little before then.... im so desperate NOT to be induced.... but obv not desperate ENOUGH to try the things above

Plus, i just went to the loo and wee'd fine..... so the one lousy symptom i did have, is now gone

ah well - not long till we get our babies too hun

 

[waula]

maybe the lack of news for Loo/Mitch means they are too busy enjoying their LO's cuddles?! Really hope so... been thinking of you both a lot today. hope you're having a smooth ride

Nik - massive hugs hun today must be a tough day...

FT - you crack me up...i love your attitude about Digs arrival!!! and tell your DH he'd better appreciate the action - my DH is terrified of going anywhere near me for a very long time!!!
AFM - had 3 lots of visitors today and absolutely knackered...and having visitors is making BFing a bit more difficult with trying to be discrete so now left nip sore so am off for a bath and smothered in lansinoh cream...

 

[firsttimer1]

enjoy that well earned bath waula.... u deserve it

 

[Glowstar]

Evening lovely ladies

Laura - huge congrats on the safe arrival of baby Astrid

Loo & Mitch - thinking of you both

FT - I love your attitude

Nik - sorry today has been tough...hope tomorrow is a better day for you

To all the ladies going overdue with no signs.....it could still happen any minute and no matter what you are all that one step closer to meeting your LO's

AFM - well no card off my girls I knew when it didn't come in the post yesterday but I felt kind of sad this morning.
I went and sat outside in the garden this morning while OH made me breakfast and when I came back in I had some lovely flowers and a card from my unborn son saying he can't wait to come out and get kisses and cuddles.....I promptly burst into tears

I'm hoping one of the predictions I had in February 2011 that said I would have a baby boy between the 20th and 28th March 2012 is true and I haven't got to long to wait for those kisses and cuddles

 

[firsttimer1]

awww glow im sorry u had a cry today but you are sooooooo going to have a by the 28th to smother with love i know these things

also - i realised, the next F1 race is THIS weekend.... not the one after as i thought.... so now i really hope digs comes naturally by friday.... as i dont want to be in labour during the race Ive got my priorities alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll wrong But hey... why NOT wiish for the best of both worlds.... right???

 

[emera35]

Niknak - xxx

FT - You make me smile Despite all the stupid on off stuff i experienced, to be honest at 40+6 i felt no more likely to go into labour than i had at 37 weeks Just be glad for not having all the poo symptoms! Digs is waiting for the perfect time to arrive!

Waula - Start flashing people more, trust me, the more you do it, the easier it gets. Squirting milk over the lady at a table next to me in a cafe was a high point in my NIP career. Hoping to beat that one this time round!! Embrace the big nipple displays!!

Cupcake - Hope the S+S kicks you off tomorrow!

Loo/Mitch - Know you are both busy, but thinking of you!!

Umm, did i miss something out?


I'm just in bed having naked baby cuddles, mmmm, so lovely and soft!

Debating going to toast a late night hot-cross bun.....
