***May Blossoms Due Dates Join Here**47 Babies Born!***

[span]

Hope these babies hurry up for you guys - must be awful having days of false labour and it sounds very uncomfortable. You're really not selling it but I guess it's too late to back out now!

I had a VERY good appointment. My BP has dropped nicely - now 118/76!!
Also the MW had real trouble finding baby's head and said it's now 2/5 engaged (so only 2/5 palpable). Might explain the lower backache I've now got.
I do wonder if my 1st use of clary sage oil this morning has helped as I've been more uncomfortable in my bump and lower back since.
Will have some in my bath tonight then get a massage off hubby - if he does a good job I might even be up for some !

Will Connor take a nap later so you can nap hun?

My cervix was favourable for a sweep, and dilating so I guess so, I really do hope they can break my waters and avoid the rest!

 

[hopefulmama]

New- when does your mom come back from mallorca?

 

[mummy3]

New I think you'll be fine when he gets here, a month of stopping and starting would get to anyone.

Lucky, hopeful you guys sound like you've had an horrendous night. Hope you get some rest today

24/7, yay on the BP

Lisa, how are you doing today?

Span, your bump defo looks bigger. Its so neat as well!

Now come on, Brandis right we need more babies in our little group

I'll put him down for a nap but whether or not he'll take one, I'm not sure. It's almost like he can tell things are going to change soon because he hasn't been sleeping well.

Wonder if Lisa is close to having baby. I can't remember if I read in this thread or the US thread that her contractions were 4 minutes apart.

 

[new_to_ttc]

My mum gets back Saturday morning, will be here Saturday afternoon hopefully

hey mummy, hows you all? i think by end of this week there is going to be a flood of little May Blossoms

 

[new_to_ttc]

Oh exciting, dont think i have seen her post that!! Go Lisa

 

[molly85]

i'm still here. a few of us are going to have get our places by time.

ohhh did lisa go in?

 

[new_to_ttc]

i think I may have overworked OH today Im very ouchy! lol

 

[luckyme225]

I didn't read that she went in, but i just went back and I think it was around 6am that she said that. So it's been about 3 hours. Hopefully they get stronger and she will be on her way to the hospital if she isn't already there!!!

BB isn't coming anytime soon. I had no dilation, baby hasn't engaged, and I only had 1 contraction when hooked up to the non stress test. He's in it for the long haul, I guess. I actually think it's funny considering the doctors made such a fuss over me during this pregnancy. I had multiple risk factors for premature labor (ovarian cysts, gestational diabetes, anemia) and here I sit on my due date and it looks like it'll still be a while!

If no baby by then, I have another appt on Monday with a non-stress test and ultrasound and an induction on Tuesday. There is some concern of the baby being too big, which worries me. There's nothing I can do about it though. Last week he was measuring over 8 lbs. If the scan shows he's 9, we'll have to seriously consider a c-section because I am so petite and have a narrow pelvis. I asked why we can't induce earlier and he said it would be unsuccessful if I have no signs right now. I'd likely get the medicine, but then have to labor all weekend. Hope he decides to make an appearance sooner so I don't have to worry about all that!

 

[luckyme225]

So is there a group for us girls who have stayed close over the 9 months or is there a general May baby group? Not sure how it works, they didn't have these things when I had my first and was on BnB.

 

[24/7]

I hope there is one for the little group of regular posters somewhere lucky. xx

 

[24/7]

Bizy, sound like yet again we are in the same situation. xx

 

[luckyme225]

Bizzy- Hope your little one decides he wants to come out soon for you. Do you have a ball or anything to see if it might help baby engage?

 

[new_to_ttc]

Ahhh Bizy, I had a similar report at 40 weeks, and lots had changed by 41 weeks so you never know! Hope you're both well, thats the main thing xxx

I believe there is a may mummies, or mayhems thread over in parenting somewhere Lucky, not sure xxxx

 

[luckyme225]

I hope so to 24/7 it would be hard to catch up on everything with all of us if there's 100+ May moms lol. Especially because time is limited enough with a newborn.

 

[BizyBee]

Yup 24, we are in this together!

I don't have a ball Lucky. Didn't really want to buy one, although thinking I should've.

I hope you're right new! I am freaked out by a c section and a huge baby.

 

[new_to_ttc]

Someone please squish my hopes before I put myself through this again! lol Lots of pains and cramps and tightenings, upright or sat down I can feel them (worse sat down). Going to take Joshua to karate and see how we go this evening, I swear these baby mind games are going to have me admitted on a looney ward not labour ward!

 

[mummy3]

Its in parenting, a may mayhems thread so far only us regulars in there. I believe there's Inge, Meow, wiggler, Brandi and me Please come find us and stalk

Go Lisa

New, I had serious pain down there post sex and waters broke within 24 hours with 2 of my kids so you may not get to induction.

Bizy, I hope you do get signs before baby gets too big

Lucky hows the coffee working for you now?

My silly hubby used my card to pay for flights on sat and put it in his wallet so I cant take Eilidh to her docs appointment
