@MadamRose.
Oh I definitely will make it until Wednesday hon don't think this one is planning on surprising me and coming Early. I no full well I will make it to my 37 induction.
Never ever gone into labour on my own early b4. If I wasn't being induced I wud be going to 40 weeks.
I was thinking of getting them iron in name tags but just gonna use a sharpie pen I think.
Now house is all done mite tackle the uniforms tomorrow.
Any tightenings or anything today hon?
Literally can't wait for u to go into labour it's so exciting because we still don't know of ure having a pink or blue one.
I think blue..
Probably why the lazy sod isn't here yet lol..
Boys get way too comfy haha. Have u tried anything like hot curry and pineapple or any of that sort of stuff.
Hoovering and lunging while doing it put me in labour with our 10 year old son at 39+6 weeks.
I was lunging around the whole house and looked like a right idiot.
Haha but it worked. That night in bed my waters went. They trickled and it took me a while to work out it was me waters.
Heard a pop and thought what the hell was that.
Then kept needing to pee and everytime I went I had to change my panty liner because it was damp. Still didn't click on..
Then the contractions strated at 1am and by 4am they were painful and I woke my husband up because I was groaning.
Then had the bloody show and by the time I got to the hospital I was already 4cm dilated.
Had zero signs of labour b4 that so it just came from mo where.
U cud start at any second hon.
Hill walking is good too. And apparently going up and down the stairs but sideways.
Sounds weird but apparently it's a thing lol.

Haha tbh I didn't know either untill ttc and that's when I learnt how to find it.
Tbh most pregnant womon can't feel there's because it shoots up high in early pregnancy but with Tommy mine was low and firm until 24 weeks and then it went up so high I cudnt find it.
But with this one it's been low the whole way through. Was kind of hard ish at first but got softer the further I got. It's just strange how it's suddenly gone up so high. I can still feel it but only just. It's so so soft too which again is strange.
It's definitely open too but has been through out but now feels more open.
Mind u it can be open at the end but I inside it can be still shut.
I won't really know much untill I get a internal to see.
They may do a internal at my 36+4 consultant appointment just to see if I need a pessery.
Or they may just leave it untill I go in on induction day.
With Tommy my consultant did a internal at 36+1 weeks and I was booked in for 36+6 for induction. She just wanted to see if I was dilated enough to have waters broken. But I wasn't and she said I wud need the balloon or a pessery.
Tbh I'm kind of hoping I do need the pessery because I'm really scared if they can just waters everything mite happen really fast and I may not get time for a epidural..
There's no way I can do it without a epidural I definitely want one.
I've had a few failed ones but the one I had with Tommy worked really well so hoping for the same this time. Will stress that to my consultant.
@Suggerhoney I should hopefully go naturally! They've said she will be small and early. Last one was small and early, and both me and my brother were too, so fairly likely! I'm 35 weeks now, and her head bounces so low I feel like I'm going to pop! First LO was only 5lb 9, at 37 weeks and 4 days, so I'm expecting similar again
That's good hon. Do u think u will go early this time too?
Do u think this one maybe a bit bigger too because ure bump is bigger?
My bump has stopped growing again. I feel like it hasn't changed for the last 3 weeks.
I still think this baby will be big.
They said he's not big and growth scans show he isn't big but I don't trust it.
Was told my second was gonna be small and he was 8lb 15 and my biggest.
And the rest they said were big and ended up being smaller.
So I really don't trust growth scans at all.
There saying he will be 6 to 7lbs but I think he will be about 8lbs.
The smallest baby I had was 5lb 7 and tbh I prefer them being a bit bigger and chubby. She was really skinny.
Tommy was 7lb 6 and that was perfect.
But really think this one will be bigger and I'm not gonna lie I'm a bit worried.
Mind u I thought Tommy was gonna be huge and he was only 7lb 6 and really not the monster they predicted.
He was estimated to be 9 to 10lbs even at 37 weeks.
So I don't take any notice of growth scans now.
But i do have anther growth scan at 36+4 and if he's like 8lbs at that then I know I'm gonna panic.
@LoneWanderer
