This is probably a really silly question, well, two questions, but I feel like you lovely ladies won't laugh at me!
Silly question one: Do you have to lose your plug before your waters break? I seem to be a lot wetter down there recently, but I don't think I've lost any plug, am worried that maybe I'm leaking fluid? It smells a bit strange, but not sweet like I've heard it's supposed to?

And silly question two: can you go into labour without any braxton hicks? I don't feel like I've had any, and its making me really sad that I'm getting so much closer to my due date without so much as a twinge

Just saw this. Been on a lot less due to hubby being on vaca. My water broke before I lost my plug. I lost pieces on the way to the hospital and through labor lol. Earlier that morning I went in because I thought I was leaking water. They told me no, but my water broke that night in earnest. Also, I didn't feel any braxton hicks with my first.

actually cannot sleep now that she is asleep. I feel on edge like shes about to wake any second.

I know how you feel. That's me each night. I'm afraid to attempt to go to sleep once Hannah's sleeping because I swear, as soon as my head hits the pillow she wakes up :/

Oh, I totally feel both of you! I have been there!!! I absolutely HATE that feeling. It's one of the many reasons that hubs and I made our deal about this being 'his' baby, lol, before I got pregnant. I didn't want to go through that feeling again, and knew I probably wouldn't make it.
to both of you brave souls!

We even dtd last night even though I'm sore down there coz the midwife said to just get at it. And nothing!!! Feel like this baby will never come!! It's been quiet around here recently!!

 

[YoungNImum]

Have you been givin an induction date? X

 

[anti]

Ya, 24th!! Want baby to come naturally before that though.

 

[YoungNImum]

Fingers crossed something happens before then x

 

[rjsmam]

hope the new & expectant mummies are doing well today

no news here either! yesterday i did some diy, built a shelving unit, customised it a bit by sawing bits off & painted it, then visited at hosp etc. today has been another active day, been for a walk, took my dad home from hosp, got him some shopping & about to cook some stuff for the freezer. this keeping active malarky clearly is doing nothing so might lie on sofa all day tom

hope to hear some news from you guys soon too!

[anti]

Ugh... So bored of this waiting game now. I don't want to go so far over that I have to be induced... Starting to feel like this baby will never come out!!

 

[rjsmam]

i haven't reached due date yet but am right there with you Anti! so do not want to be induced & my induction date is 2 full wks after edd - may 31st - so could even be a June baby....... meh

[frangi33]

Come on the rest of the May babies!

Are any of you drinking raspberry leaf tea? It could be pure coincidence but I started my rlt on the Friday and had eaten a lot of fresh pineapple and I went into labour afew days later.

We are doing well here, starting to understand the way Lola feeds which has made tonight easier. She feeds every 2 hours but takes a bit of milk then has to rest, generally I change her nappy to wake her slightly then she feeds again and is zonked til next feed time. I can't help but stare at her all the time amazed that we made her!

 

[anti]

I'm not drinking rlt. Couldn't find any at my holland and barrett and feel like its too late for it to make a difference. I started getting excited last night... Had loads of pressure in my cervix and the occasional cramp... Turned out to be nothing!! Well... I actually needed to fart which my OH thought was hilarious coz I never fart! I'm trying my best to enjoy my last few days without bubs but I don't want to be induced!!! Hurry up little baby please.

 

[rjsmam]

i only started rlt last wk after my mw apmnt - she asked if i'd been taking it & i said not as had heard not to if any history of breast cancer, she said she'd never heard of that so i've decided to drink it for the last few wks, 3 or 4 cups a day. i have wondered if it's the reason for the intense bhs!

i had the same last night, i'm continually getting the contractions/bhs every ten mins or so lasting a minute each... argh... as i type.... but last night they were coupled with cervix pain.. so i went to bed again to see if i could sleep through & here i am again this morning. gah am not getting excited again until i'm in sheer agony (how odd is that sentence!)

[anti]

Rjs I'm like that as well... All I want is to feel agonising pain every 3 mins!!! So crazy!!

 

[rjsmam]

Rjs I'm like that as well... All I want is to feel agonising pain every 3 mins!!! So crazy!!

lol........ we might regret that statement but jeezo we want our babies! i've got the flaming heartburn again which worries me he/she's moved upwards instead of down.. come on junior - head for the exit!!!


x

 

[anti]

My heartburn has got more intense as well!! It went away for about a week and now it's back and worse than I ever thought it could be!!

I thought after two sweeps and losing my whole plug that something would be happening but still nothing!!! My edd by lmp is the 17th so maybe my scan dates were off? As long as baby comes before induction date I'll be happy!!!

 

[rjsmam]

ah yeah i was thinking that too! i originally had edd of 25th May but it was brought forward after scans - like you i reaaaaallly don't want to be induced!

my dh is getting really impatient too lol
