My baby is the same way, Cupcake! Wish it was the other way around!
 
Good luck sass hopefully they get babes out soon I had the same thing happen with carter mecomium in the fluid scary stuff. It will all be over soon can't wait to see the little angel.
 
Congrats sass! Nothing happening for me yet :( lost my plug last monday night which I posted about. .and at my appt on friday I was 2cm. Been getting lightening bolt pains every once in a while and my belly will go hard sometimes but that's it :/ rly wish he would come!! Been having discharge like CRAZY fhe past 3 or so days...like watery and clear so idk what's up with that but its so annoying.
My dr said we could talk about induction at my appt on Thursday and I'm rly rly tempted at this point to go ahead with it even tho I tthought I NEVER would induce unless I was overdue....but I am so incomfortable I can't even sleep or barely eat. I have bags under my eyes and am miserable and had lost a pound at my drs appt...so all that can't be any worse for baby than just inducing :/
 
Good luck Sass! Hope this is it for you!!

MrsV: Whatever happens, all that is important is you are both healthy and comfortable!

No idea when my turn will be...any bets?
 
Just checking for sass updates lol!!

Cupcake - DD was the same, up all night feeding - it's because you make more milk if they feed at night so your supply ups. Plus they don't know the difference between day and night yet and they are used to darkness so tend to be more comfortable at night. I remember wondering if I'd ever get more than 2 hours sleep straight. If you can try feeding lying down and then you can dose.

A teeny bit of excitement - just lost my plug. It's not bloody though so I know it's not indicative if labour being imminent and could still be weeks but I'm still excited lol! Getting lots of BH over the past couple of days and period cramping so really hoping it means things are on the way.

Mrsbabcock - you really don't have long left so try to hold out on the induction. I know it's tempting but statistics show that you are much more likely to end up with a forceps delivery or emergency c section if you are induced. Plus with no medical reason there's no need to put yourself through that for the sake of a weekish. Just my opinion though :)
 
Oh mighty just missed your post - hmmm I'd say any day now, how late were you previously? I was 3 days late to go into labour with DD and had her early day 4. I am due 9th but think I might go into labour on 14th-16th as my original scan set the date of 14th. We shall see though!
 
Hann: Was 7 days early with DD and doctor said I could go any minute. But I haven't lost any plug yet. :( Everyone else seems to have lost theirs!
 
Hope you're doing ok Sass. Xxx

Thanks for the reassurance ladies. She was so angry earlier I just sat and fed her and cried. Seems so hopeless in the middle of the night sometimes.

Also I was in a bad mood anyway as a visitor was really late yesterday (text to say one time, then I text the time she said she was leaving to check it was all on time, she said yes, 45 mins later I text where are you - it's a 45 min journey - and she still hasn't left!!) DH had put off shopping and I put off a nap because we thought she was arriving any minute.

Who does that?!?

She slept for 3 hours. Yaaay. And then she woke up nice and calm, didn't scream the house down being changed and is now feeding lovely and calmly so fingers crossed she won't be too windy and I can put her down nicely for another few hours.

We've propped her matress up a bit at the top end and I really think that makes so much difference for her. She's just unhappy flat on her back.

Also, now her belly stump is off we can use our Snuza monitor so I sleep a lot better as I can see it flash through her blanket.
 
I'm very very slowly losing my plug now like a thick discharge when I wipe. Just getting ready for the park. Hope sass is doing well. Cupcake cannot believe you have your baby already time flies its like yesterday you announced the birth
 
Oh exciting missmayhem! Mine was just one big amount, bit grim but its progress lol!
Also the baby was on my right pretty much for weeks and its turned to my left into optimal position! Who knows if it will stay that way but really hoping so! Very exciting!
 
I'm so jealous of all you ladies losing your plugs and having signs- I'm already three days over and barely even have any discharge :-( I think I'm going to still be here long after the rest of you.

Cupcake those first six weeks are sooo hard sleeping wise. It takes awhile for them to learn that night time is for sleeping. We always keep it as dark and boring as possible when they wake for a feed and I don't talk to them much. In the day I try and make sure they feed every three hours at least as I find they need less overnight then. Mine also had to have their nasket propped up and slept better swaddled on their side due to reflux. It does take awhile though for them to get the idea though :-( you are reminding me to enjoy this one in my womb a little longer lol! X
 
Kezzie I don't think it means much for me as I think I lost it at around 38/39 weeks last time and still went overdue. I fully expect to be over but so be it!
The baby has shifted from being on my right to being on my left though which is brilliant as much better position, just need it to stay there now!!

Hope everyone enjoys the sunshine today!
 
I feel your pain ttc and cupcake! Jenson will only sleep for 1-2 hours at a time in his moses basket through the night (but is great in it through the day!) unless he goes in bed with us (bad I know, but desperate times call for desperate measures when youre seriously sleep deprived!) in which case he will sleep for 4 hours at a time! We use our nursing U shaped pillow to prop him in and he must like the feeling of being snug!

Breastfeeding is finally sorting itself out and isnt half as sore!! Woo hoo! Its worth the hard work though considering he put on 5oz at his first weigh in! I was so proud of us both! X

Hope the remaining pregnant ladies are doing as well as can be and im anxiously awaiting the news of our may baby arrivals!

Im assuming sass went into labour! !! Good luck and hope you're having a lovely snuggle with your little one as I write! Xxx
 
Hopefully Hann baby stays that way and is a sign labour is just around the corner. Well we had fun at the park, the trampoline was amazing fun! I felt like my waters would break any second. Got mv apt this afternoon so hoping that goes well. Guess we will discuss what happens if I hit 14 days over, I'm praying it doesn't happen as I don't want another induction
 
LP - Baby Bee is the same. If I let her sleep on my chest (I'll admit I did it the first two nights home as I was DESPERATE come 3am) she'll sleep like a log for 4 hours! She's the same in the day as there's always someone who wants to cuddle her.

But I really don't want her sleeping on me, it's not safe and it's a bad habit. And I want DH in the bed with me (I made DH go to the spare room when she was on me so that at least one of us got good sleep and so I could be right on the middle of the bed with lots of pillows propping me up)

What we have done though is prop her crib matress up at the head end, and then rolled a blanket into a U shape and put it under the sheet and then we pop her bum at the bottom of the U and the two sides come up either side of her. Makes her feel a bit more cuddled on there I think.

When we take her out to feed/change her we also put a hot water bottle in the cot so when she goes back in it isn't cold.
 
Am I the only one looking forward to co-sleeping. We side carred with DD and I adored the snuggles and it was easier to settle her. I love attachment parenting, its truly the lazy way to do things
 
I'm just too paranoid MM.

Once she's bigger and able to roll etc she can cuddle all she likes.

We've sidecarred the crib so she's right next to me, but far enough away that I can't smother her.

I know they're meant to be feet to foot so we've out a box at the bottom so her feet can be to that and it also doubles nicely as somewhere to keep all the things we need at night. :)
 
Missmayhem I'll be mainly co sleeping. We have a super long size bed with a new natural mattress, the baby will be totally fine nestled into my arm and can then feed on and off all night. I'm attachment parenting too - part if a group on Facebook and they are lovely mamas who all have the same parenting philosophy. It's fairly rare though for people to be AP I think, I rarely actually 'meet' people who are.
 
Here's our bed situation.
