oh zephyr! what a rotten night!!! I hope things progress for you soon!
I had yet another night of thinking "this just might be it!" I had frequent, regular, painful contractions, lots of cervical/rectal pressure, but just like last time, just died down to the bh i've been having for weeks at about 5 am... Im so freaking tired today... this little monkey seems determined to make me an utter lunatic before it arrives! I get the odd crampy pain, but nothing seems to be happening! I see my OB again tomorrow for my 40 week appointment
so hopefully she will have some answers for me as to why it seems like my body is TRYING to go, but just can't... and maybe a sweep tomorrow will be successful... Im so fed up with the constant BH...

Another update and finally some progress! My cervix has moved forward overnight and she said she can fit two fingers in it but they wanted it just a little bit shorter before they rupture my membranes. We r hoping when they do the check in 3 hours time that its changed enough to do it. My contracting started again not long after i posted earlier and wow they hurt more now but ten mins apart. I am so tired. Even the doc said to me this morning we thort u wuld have ur babies yesterday given ur history and the pressure of two babies but sometimes we r wrong.

Yay Zeph looks like you will have the first May babies 
Had a scan tonight because the Dr thought that baby was large sized. Turns out he's quite normal, tech said he's 6lbs 14oz but could fluctuate 1 pound either way. So even on the heavy end he won't be a ginormous child.
Funny story... so I asked the tech to just check one more time to make sure he was a boy, she was telling me there wasn't enough fluid up where his butt was to know for sure but she decided to go and look... he took his little ball sac and started shaking it at us!! Just to say, YES I AM A BOY HERE I AM! It was sooooo funny he did it several times!!

Not long to go Zephyr...so excited for you!!! I hope those little one's arrive soon, cannot wait to see pics.
Bumpin I hope things get going for you soon, must be very frustrating.
Thanks Rjsmam, the pic is a bit blurry and it has cut off my brother and sister but it is one I tried to save from facebook. I am relying on everyone else putting pics up on there until I get the professional pics in a week or so. We really did have a fab day!
Last night I started getting crampy, like period cramps low in my tummy and back but nothing major going on just yet. Had a major cleaning and organising frenzy yesterday just in case so my OH or mum can get the dogs fed easily for when i'm in hospital and that we all have clean clothes and a lovely clean house. Think I will continue today as I have all the wedding presents to sort out and recycle all the boxes!
Have a good day ladies...i'm counting down...single figures now, 9 days til due date!

Kendra: looks like your little man its going to have quite the personality! Don't think you are going to be bored with that one... Just wait until you can tell him about that moment...maybe on his wedding day?

well, im finally home from my Ob appt:
The good news: All these damn bh have been doing their job. Im a SOLID 3 cm dilated, with only a "tiny bit of length" left in my cervix! I had another sweep today too, and my god is my OB aggressive! OH came with me and I was holding his hand while she did that...the little bugger had the nerve to tell me I was hurting his hand...lol
The bad news: Im still measuring at 36 (same as last week) I'm being booked in for another ultrasound on friday, If baby looks good, she will also do another sweep, in the hopes that I will go into labour over the weekend (she is on call all weekend, so she would like me to have the baby then...lol. If baby has not decided to come out by monday, Im going to be induced either monday or tuesday, depending on how busy the unit is. If baby not doing well on the ultrasound, she will have me induced on friday. So no matter what, I am having a baby within the next 7 days!!!

lol. Yazzy, It hink most people say a sweep is REALLY uncomfortable, but I am a wimp, and I think they really freakin hurt!
OH thinks I am going to deliver this baby without an epidural. As much as I would like to, I also know that I have very little pain tolerance, and will probably be screaming for one the moment I realsize im in labour!

They should have recommended the formula supplement from the start because he was so tiny and a preemieUpdate on Jenson. I was weighed yesterday and has only put on 50g in 5 days and they are ment too put on 20g a day. MW called scbu for advice and was told to re weigh him in 48 hours. I hope they dont want him to go back in because i dnt think I can stay this time and cant bare to think about being apart from him
I hate doctors. They tried that with me and my second too! I hope he puts on weight for ya!! It is so hard to be away from them. My second caught a nasty virus at 11 months and we had to be apart from her for two nights... it was hell! So excited for you!
That is hilarious, I love it!Yay Zeph looks like you will have the first May babies

Yes we are!!! Thanks for posting the wedding pics, they are beautiful!On a personal note: I have come to a new sad conclusion. This pregnancy has been a living hell from the beginning; and I don't think she has any intention of ending that hell any sooner than humanly possible, I am feeling like (contrary to BOTH my others) that I may very well go OVER due with this one. I am getting NO signs from her (with the other two I was fairly certain when they were coming around 7 or 8 months and was RIGHT) three different people said May 1st and I thought maybe THAT was my sign. Nope, there will be no baby today. FML!!!!!
#1 Easy as pie pregnancy=38+1 delivery.
#2 Little bit more difficult pregnancy=38+6 delivery
#3 Living hell pregnancy=over due (possibly induced) butthead baby!!

good news bumpin! i hope this means baby will be here in the next couple days.
I had TWO friends have babies today. One has the same due date as me, the other originally had the same due date but got pushed forward and then had a scheduled c-sec. SO jealous!
I've been having lots of crampy pains and sharp shooting pains wrapping around my stomach, and it seems like baby dropped a little overnight as well. Not that I thought he could get any lower. May have to convince the hubby to DTD tonight and get this thing going!
Will be off work officially after Friday, finally just caved and said I am too tired and sore to work all day right now. They want me to get a doctor's note though saying that I shouldn't be working. I don't think my doctor really cares so I dunno what I'm going to say to him to get him to write the note. Maybe all the swelling? I dunno.
