Summer Peaches... going to be ripe in late July/early August!!

km have a feel lol. Squat and stick your fingers up as far as you can (sorry sorry sorry) and really reach around right at the back/top until you find your cervix - you might have to change the angel of your squat to reach. It should feel like your lips and probably around 2cm open and really really soft with the EPO. Inside you will feel the head (unmissable, really solid/boney/round) or possibly the amniotic sac first which kind of feels like a hanging water balloon - don't touch, poke or squish it though. My waters have been bulging a bit but then sometimes I check and it's the head pushing away down there instead of the waters :-S

Remember to wash down there in hot water (after a shower) and use a hand sanitizer cos if your waters do go you don't want to have bacteria sitting up there ready to cause an infection to baby.

Well I had more pains last night so went for an early bed as wanted to be rested just incase but never came to anything! Got woken up with pressure in my hips about midnight and went to toilet and lots more bloody plug but this morning I can feel baby has moved away up and theres no pressure at all. By my original dates I'm 37 weeks today so I'm giving myself permission to go a long walk this morning then a nap then going to soft play and down the slides with LO - who knows, maybe it'll break my waters

Then tomorrow I have toddlers swimming with my LO in the morning, a nap and will have a restful afternoon. Then scan on Tuesday!

Yeah I was thinking I would try have a feel when I go in the shower later than I will be clean and can clean straight after. You go for that walk stardust I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Will be going on a long walk tomorrow anyway to drop Toby off at his dad's and walk back again, it's about a 2 mile walk if I go a bit of a longer way lol. It would be really nice if she came on our anniversary...OH might actually remember the actual date then lol. But I'd like to go out for our meal too. Glad I'm not in labour right now though. I really hope she comes at night because I'd hate to labour and give birth in this ridiculous heat lol x

 

[stardust599]

what heat? its bucketing down here lol. just waiting on LO waking then we're doing soft play and a late lunch. I wish I had money to treat myself to something to pass the time. just so bored x

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Haha its really warm here we've had thunder storms and erratic rain, my brother even got a cut on his leg from the hail stone we had yesterday but it's still warm...and really humid!!!

 

[misse04]

Oh god i didnt even think about packing Connie some stuff! Might do that later along with putting some other bits in my bags. House is clean and just put last wash on atlast. Feeling particularly heavy today and really really need to finish packing hospital bags this week!

 

[molly85]

lol I even got long life full fat milk so there's proper milk if she needs to stay over night lol. Just needs to go in the bag!

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Had some horrid pains earlier. Then fell asleep and just woke up. My lovely OH is currently putting tea on and I woke up just in time for my mum to pick my sister up lol. Woops. I did get to see her and catch up and was only asleep for half an hour but I was SO tired.

Hoping I'm reserving some energy for going into labour tonight lol (absolutely probably almost definitely wishful thinking! lol)

 

[misse04]

Long life milk what a good idea! Bag is pretty much done going to get a little toothbrush, paste and shampoo at asda tmo but have everything else besides notes and phone charger ready to go... just charging camera to pack it.. Ive even writ a list of Connies routine for MIL, OH didnt see why at first bt she literally has no idea when she needs everything and dont want to seem like a control freak but i dont want to worry either

 

[stardust599]

Ladies this is insane!! I made that joke about my waters this morning and they actually did go at 5pm! I never made it to soft play in the end I took my nephew and LO a walk in the double buggy for 20mins max, felt a bit wet on the way home and 2/3 maternity pads later and lots of gushes have realised it's 100% leaking waters!

My head is flustered, can't think what to do. And it's still too early so not quite sure what happens now! I want to put DD to bed before ringing the hospital but she'll be sleeping by 7.30. Just trying to put last minute things in my hospital bag now. I don't think I'll get back out of hospital will I since I'm not officially 37weeks til Tuesday :-S

 

[molly85]

Oh i did one when i was at work. it's just a guidline but to keep their routine helps them fel less abandoned.

She'll prob even bring her home to bath and bed but if we have to leg it at 11pm MIl will be in bed so can just put up travel cot and try and settle her back to sleep

 

[molly85]

ooh you might do. I'd have a shower or bath to just no bubbles. wash and tie hair back if you can. Ekkkkkk pop goes number 2

 

[misse04]

Oh wow! Good luck!! So jealous! Keep us updated if you can

 

[irmastar]

Good luck stardust!!!!!!

 

[kmbabycrazy]

WAHHHH!!!!!!!!!! JEALOUS!!!

But on a serious note good luck stardust so excited to hear about your arrival. Good luck and let us know how it all goes xx

 

[stardust599]

No pain at all!!! Not even a twinge

Damn it. If I go in to hospital I'll end up there for days until they induce me. Going to give myself a couple of hours to try get things going then head up to hospital, wish me luck! I think the hospital has free wi-fi and I have my phone so plenty of updates to come while I'm bored waiting no doubt. Haha. I'm hoping they either start me off or send me home to let me wait xx

 

[kmbabycrazy]

I think since you're only a couple of days from full term they'd treat it the same and send you home if you're not having contractions. Hope so hun I hate hospitals so I'd hate to be in there unnecessarily. Good luck hope things start for you on their own in the next couple of hours xx

 

[misse04]

why is my spotless house not spotless already!! It doesnt last 2 seconds! Had a massive lunch and I'm starving again now! Im tired moody and fed up. Whats the point in 5 hours cleaning when it just gets messed up! Still got to put bed sheets back on and put washing away ergggggggggggggggg its never ending!

 

[Mosnippy]
