Morning ladies!! It's my due date today :) now I have 12 days for baby to make an entrance before I go in to be induced.

No signs of baby coming soon though. No increased discharge etc. Belly is very low and having loose bowels (tmi) but have for a couple of weeks due to iron tablets I think. Having braxton hicks which can take my breath away at times but have had them fairly frequently since 18 weeks so I don't think they mean much for me :( c'mon baby!

Off to a sling meet today to try and distract myself and try to hire a baby carrier that might be comfy and easy to use with a newborn. I know they are going to suggest a stretchy wrap but I can imagine myself in tears trying to wrap it correctly :-/ my friend is lending me her moby to try too so I will give it a go I'm just not very patient and need to have something to literally 'sling' baby into when doing the school run etc.
 
Happy due date Kezzie!! So exciting! I'm like you, don't hold out much hope of the baby coming close to the due date but hopefully neither of us will be induced.
As for slings, I have a stretchy, moby type wrap, once you've used them a few times they are much easier than you think they would be. I also have a ring sling which I'm using just to pop it into for ease. I think mei tais are meant to be good but I don't have one. The sling meet should be good to show you various types though. I wish I had a meet near me but it seems like I live in a sling meet black hole!!
 
Happy due date Kezz. Enjoy the sling meet I love going to my local one. I plan on using a moby and ergo in the early days then just the ergo when they are older.

Inver is having a nap and I'm catching up on emmerdale and debating what's for lunch
 
Happy dd Kezz! No signs here either aside from a low baby. I swear people were staring at me last night when DH and I went out to dinner. Makes me feel like I shouldn't leave the house.
I'm going moby then ergo too but no sling meets around here either. I rarely see people using them. All the girls I know have both hands on baby at all times and it just seems like such a burden. I can't wait to get Dylan in her sling and get going with my days!
 
Happy due date Kezzie. C'mon baby!

Hann I got a babybjorn one second hand from a good friend, so I'm hoping to use that. I'm with you, I can't see me getting the hang of tying and I'd be worried it wasn't tied properly.
 
I can't wait to use my carriers too! Just need the baby now lol!

We have totally changed our girls name now to Rosa - DH wants the middle name to be May but i'm not sure if that goes with our surname, Malone. Do you think it flows okay?
 
I think Rosa May flows lovely.

We were going to have Mae as a middle name but then lately we know of 5 baby girls with May/Mae as middle so we decided against it last minute.
 
Thanks cupcake, is it okay with our surname too though? What name did you end up going for? Sorry if I missed that!
 
How often would the middle name be used, you could maybe hyphenate it. Mae/may is very popular thou.
 
She won't have your surname forever. ;) But I think it flows just fine. Love Rosa!
 
Thanks - I'm probably just worrying over nothing then lol! And thats true, I hadn't considered that at some point she'll hopefully be married and change her name anyway! Appreciate the help :)
 
Missmayhem were you late or on time with your first baby?

Well I'm exhausted but had a lovely day with the boys. Took them for a picnic and a play in the park. Met some friendly Mums who were curious about my bump and wished me luck so that was nice. The sling meet was great as the boys had a massive play area whilst I got to see the baby carriers. I ended up hiring a close caboo one to try which I'm really looking forward to trying now. :)

My cold is turning into a sinus infection so having to give in and take paracetamol for the face pain but it has the added bonus of taking the edge of the back pain :)
 
Hann I love the name Rosa Mae it's very pretty and gos very well with Annabelle :) ooh I'm excited to find out what team you end up on.

We are team yellow to all our family and friends too so I'm excited to hopefully announce this ones a girl to them- most are guessing boy. I'm still nervous and convinced the scan is wrong though. At least we have a few boy names we like just in case but I'm v.nervous nonetheless xx
 
Well I'm leaking something yet again though this time i think it's urine it smells very much like bleach or what's the word I'm looking for hmmm ammonia? No Braxton hicks or anything like I had on Monday. Mason is really low and I have to pee like every 15 mins I swear. Never had this with my first so it's pretty gross I'm gonna keep my eye on it and see if its a lot or what I think it's just baby pressing on my bladder anyone else have this.
 
Oh my back aches. Scrubbing the floors wasn't so smart.


Kezzie DD was induced at 40+3 due to complications that never really existed
 
Rosa is so pretty with Annabelle! Love it!
Enjoy the pain relief Kezz. How fun you're team yellow off bnb. I didn't realize! I'm sure you've got a girl in there though.
Crap pink! I have no idea what that could be! Sounds so weird. I know it's usually a bad idea, but have you googled it?
I think I may have lost a smidge of plug this morning. Looked like a brown booger- does that sound right? Having bh right now. Went for a dog walk and felt like I was going to die. Still recovering.
 
oooh Sass yeah could be plug loss - I've heard all sorts of yucky descriptions. I keep dreaming that I lose mine, it must be reading about all you ladies losing yours.

I'm done in too just from taking the boys out all afternoon- I can't walk now but can't get comfy sitting, everything hurts. I've not got the energy to go into labour tonight lol!
Every time I bend over I keep a lightening bolt pain up my behind or thereabouts (lol)it's so embarrassing when it happens in front of people though as I can't help but give out a little shriek haha and they think I'm going into labour. I remember getting these pains occasionally with my first and he had a big head but this baby is either a little mover and shaker or has an even bigger head as these are happening so frequently throughout the day.

Got plans to see family over the next two days so that should hopefully distract me a little from labour spotting :) Hoping to do a nice long waddle on bank holiday Monday too to encourage things along. Hope all you Uk ladies with the bank holiday Monday have your OH and family around too to give you an extra day's rest and everyone has lovely weekend plans. Hoping another one of us can announce another birth soon too :) Although I don't know where everyone has gone??? x
 
I know, there isn't many of us left and yet it's only May 3rd! What's going on??
I'm still excited for the rest of us that are coming on here anyway!

I am soooo happy it's a long weekend here, not that we are doing anything but I am just happy to have DH around to help with DD, could be our last babyless weekend but probably not lol!

Kezzie - I feel for you on the pains and lightening. I haven't been getting lightening so much this week but I do feel a lot of pressure in my pelvis and sometimes on my bum. It must be pretty low.

Sass - def sounds like some plug loss! Exciting!!

Thanks for all your comments about the name - feeling good about our choice finally :)
 
I'm getting bh about every 10 minutes. Just bouncing on my ball little a crazy person. DH is in panic mode.
What do you have a bank holiday for? Is it like an actual holiday?
