November Mummy's - It's nearly time

[cosmotbear]

I'm getting more tightenings too Mrs P....that and my scratchy cervix!! Not needed any painkillers yet tho so guess I should stop complaining. Heres to it all picking up over the weekend. Maybe one of us will go next week...

 

[MrsP]

One of us has got to go soon.

Bloody babies!!! This is riduculas!! I actually haven't felt too bad just a few days over the last couple of weeks, but I think it is the waiting that actually makes it worse. That and signs of labour are all nonsense!!!

 

[MrsP]

Evening everyone,

I cant remember a thing of what i've just read!!!

I'm not planning an evening of chilling tonight, going to save the relaxing for tomorrow.
Going to change the bedding, sort out some stuff in the bedroom and sort through the kitchen cupboards - aiming to make space. I really dont think we need that spare kettle and fondue set!!!
If the nesting instinct isnt going to find me, I'm going to make it happen and find it myself!! x

Wow you are a busy bunny this evening.

How have the BH's been? x

Well things need doing and I'm sick of waiting for the nesting to kick in!!!

BH arnt too bad, pains down low and back ache are now the major culprits of my discomfort!!

How are you doing?? x

Is your hot water bottle your new best friend?

I'm ok, things have taken a slow down!! It's just this bloody waiting and not knowing when it's all coming that is driving me mad.

But I am trying to be positive. I have picked my induction date, just need mw to book it when I go for 40 week appointment. So if baby P hasn't arrived on own accord I have selected 14th November, 10 days after due date 2 days before my birthday and even if I have a 48 hour labour (which I hope I wont) I will have baby P here in no more than 23 days as of tomorrow.

Managed without the bottle last night, but think I'll be filling it shortly!!

I'm hating the waiting too - haven't even thought about induction!! Just hoping something will happen before then. MW said we would book at 41 week appointment, if needed. But will be mentioning it at 40 week now!!

OH is ringing every night half way through shift to see how I'm doing and his DD and her OH both have their phone's waiting for me to call if needed!! Which makes it so real and me more impatient as were all so excited!!

Aww, you'll be a yummy mummy before your birthday!! x

Ooochie you lot!! These BH really have stepped up a gear!! And this pressure deep in my pelvis is quite intense. That scratchy feeling, Cosmotbear - oochie again!! I think it's the cervix softening and doing things. I wish it would do it quicker though!! As for the back ache - I'd quite like a hot water bottle on it - but I'm just so hot right now I think it would finish me off!!!
Sounds like we're all gonna pop at the same time at this rate. Could be interesting text buddy wise!!!

Oh bless them, how sweet. Does DD drive? Can Steve leave work quite easily if things get on the move?

I go to bed every night thinking is tonight the night?

I cried this morning cos Si is going to watch the football on Sunday and he is going on the train, mainly cos it is easier than driving but I was panicing encase he drinks too much and then can't get us there and say he doesn't get back in time.

I don't expect him not to go out until the baby born but I'd sooner he is a bit closer to home!

Sorry he's been called out.
Good news about the baby monitor though!! We've decided not to get one. Not sure if we'll regret that or not!!!

 

[bubba4]

I need to get a crib drape rod anyone know where to get one got my cot one.. ???

I have monitors but not even took them out of the box actually everything is in boxes and packaging still. Guess I am thinking that if I am late again I still have nearly 4/5 weeks left. I hope this time is diff though.

 

[luvbunsazzle]

We thought it best as our bedroom is a different floor to the nursery. He chose it, bloomin expensive!!

Snap!!! Im the same every night!!

Yes, DD and her OH both drive, it would take OH an hour at the most toget home depending where he was - hence DD being on standby, I'm not too concerned that he wont make it back!!

Have you no other way of getting to the hospital?? I'm sure you'll be just fine on Sunday. And if it does happen he'll be back in time!!
I was panicing last sunday as OH had too much and wouldnt be able to stand never mind support me!! xx

Evening ladies

I have spent ages catching up on this thread as I haven't been on all day so apologises as I've forgotten most of what you've all said!!!!

Anyway, I too have been suffering from intense pressure down below and period type pain. Thought contractions were starting last night as they were getting regular and I could feel the build up of them and then them easing off and the pain going for a few mins then starting again. Then it eased off altogether. All today I've had the pressure and period pain again. I've been to tots and out shopping with my mum and then to my goddaughter's birthday party so keeping myself busy cos it's been uncomfortable!

Sounds like you're getting the same MrsP and wow to Jayne's water's breaking!

Oh and Kat, no there was no sugar in my urine!!!!!

Here's some labour dust for us all

 

[MrsP]

Morning mummies,

How are we all?

Well girls, I have been up since 6am bright and breezy although laid in bed till 8am!

Got up at 6.30am and made a cuppa for me and Si, before he got ready to go off to work.

So have some lovely little period type pains, not painful just there and I have had my show. Well I am more than certain and called the mw and she said that it sounds like it. Called her as noticed it in my underwear rather than on tissue when wiping and as it wasn't clumpy (sorry tmi), and more of a wet discharge but brownish in colour looked more like last dregs of AF (sorry TMI) I thought I best check incase it was something to worry about as change of discharge colour, but wee is as clear as a whilstle and all was ok with that at appointment on Wednesday. Although I'm still not getting my hopes up.

So today I have nothing planned, although I woke up thinking with my stomach thinking my throat has been cut, so may go off and get a MacDonalds breakfast, naughty I know but stuff it!!

What have we all got planned today?

 

[XKatX]

Morning all - hope you slept well last night.

Mrs P - go for it - I was just thinking about Macdonalds breakfasts yesterday too.

Well, I had a very interesting evening. As you know I'd been uncomfortable all day. Then the BH got really bad - not sure if they were still BH or contractions. The pain was intense and all the way round my back and under my bump. I really didn't know where to put myself. Was going to time them - but couldn't sit still long enough!! Then at a bout 9 o'clock ***Warning TMI alert!!!!***............... I needed the loo. Really suddenly and really badly and suffered extreme explosive diarreoah!!!! I barely made it to the loo. Then the pains got worse, so had a hot bath and took paracetamol. It didn't really help, so went to bed with hubby (who is starting to look a bit concerned by this point!!). I had about 3 more contractions/BH - then all of a sudden they stoppped! Just like that!
That was the end of that and I had a good nights sleep. I'm so gutted - I really thought it was the start!

Anyway, still getting tightening (not painful) today, so I'm gonna go on a really long walk and see if I can walk this thing out of me!!!
I should say that I have had no show yet and neither have my waters broken.

So lets see what today holds ladies!!!!

 

[MrsP]

Looking promising Kat - maybe baby B will be here by the time the weekend is out?

Fingers crossed x x

 

[XKatX]

Forgot to say Mrs P - good news about your show!!
