Was due 8th june, anyone else want to join me in the waiting game?

Thanks :) fingers crossed. It's so tiring when you already have a little one to look after. Never again!!!
I wonder who's going to be next o have their baby?
So exciting x
 
Me! Lol. No probably jade since she's in there having induction right now.
I wont have more than 2 either.
 
Actually I'm feeling quite sore around my back and pelvis and getting some nerve pain in my legs probably from all the bouncing, walking etc. Can't wait for DD to go to bed so I can just lie down.
 
Yeah maybe it's best to try and pamper yourself and relax now? I've been having some painful tightenings this morning, think it might be the start of something? I will let you know! I think the sweep should help.
I remember last time round I mistook constipation cramps for the beginning of labour lol!
 
Ooh hope that's it for you! Update after your sweep!

Yeah I'm throwing in the towel and just relaxing tonight. I feel the occasional mild contraction, if it picks up great, if not I'm looking forward to a nice sleep!

Hope its the start of something! Good luck with the sweep too.

Greenlady, sex was the last resort for me by my due date and not attempted :rofl:
 
Green lady, I'm glad your coming around to a better mindset on it all. Should make these last few days more enjoyable for you. Do you have an appt coming up for a sweep or to check progress?

Sadie good luck with your sweep! I'll be looking for an update soon!

Danielle are you awake yet? hoping for some contraction action from you. If none, are you scheduled for a sweep again soon?

Nothing new to note here. Just woke up, getting ready for my appt. I'm trying so hard not to get bummed out everyday when nothing changes. They'll let you go a max of 2 weeks over as long as everything looks healthy for the baby, so this morning it really hit me that I could still be here in another week and a half waiting. :(

And honestly I'm not even uncomfortable physically. I'm very lucky that this pregnancy has been and continues to be very easy on me. It's the stinking mind games at this point that are torture, on top of the false starts. If I KNEW what day she'd be here, even if that day was some day next week, I'd be okay with that. I guess I'm a bit more of a control freak than I ever realized. Lol!
 
Itsme - its 6:15 am here but yes I've been awake for an hour now lol. I can't fall back asleep because of sore back. Probably from sleeping too long on same side. No contractions so I guess its a waiting game again. I only have my appointment on Monday morning. I'll probably have another sweep. What if I'm 4cm by next appointment? Doesn't that mean active labor?

Good luck everyone for today! Sending vibes!

This is exactly me!! I feel fine mostly, Im just not good at the lack of control. My DD arrived on time and I wasn't really stressed about it then. This time is so different.

I have another sweep on Sunday if no baby by then. I have been having mild contractions this evening. I think I'll go to bed soon regardless and see if I can sleep rather than trying to push them.

Danielle yes I think 4cm is active labour but if you're not having contractions I don't see how that works? Wouldn't it be awesome if you could get nearly to 10 without any contractions!

That would be crazy!! Lol but at the same time I want to be at hospital before starting to push : P
Hopefully your contractions will continue and getting baby girl to come out.
 
Well ladies I just left my appointment. Zoey passed her NST with flying colors. The machine picked up regular but very mild contractions coming around every 4-5 minutes. Some of them I didn't even feel. She check my cervix and I've progressed to a 2-3 cm instead of the 1 I've been at for weeks. But she did say I wasn't quite as effaced as she originally thought I was. I'm actually at 50% instead of 70%.
But she did strip my membranes (which I believe is the same as a sweep) and ended up with quite a bloody show. She said when she gets that much, labor tends to come within 24 hours. I definitely need a pad though so thanks for that tip Danielle! Lol.

So now again we're just back to the waiting game. A part of me isn't really looking forward to getting the cramps/contractions that will likely come today. I'll constantly be second guessing whether or not they are the real deal or just a result of her poking around in there and nothing else.

Hoping for the best but preparing for the worst...
 
we're at the same stage itsme!! I'm also at 3cm and 60%effaced, but at both sweep I never bleed. Yep waiting game is terrible!! I've read that going for a walk or stay active after sweep/strip is helpful.

I came home and bounced on my yoga ball for a bit after the appointment but so far haven't experienced anything exciting. Not sure how long afterwards you should expect to notice something if its going to work. I'm going walking this evening once it gets cooler, it's already hitting the 90's here. Ugh.
 
Guys I'm pretty sure I'm having 'prodromal labour' after a second night of contractions that went nowhere.

This is depressing me! The only good thing I can think is that since I'm overdue it won't go on for longer than another week. I just feel quite upset that my body won't go the whole hog. I feel like I'm so close yet so far. What a tease.
 
Hope everything goes well for everyone n ur bubas come soon. I'm having family n friends moan at me already because lil one still not here even though I'm not technically due till Tuesday. X

Haha it's funny you mention that bc I JUST googled prodromal labor wondering if that's what I'm experiencing. I definitely think I might be experiencing that as well. Its so discouraging. Been about 6 hours since my strip and still nothing going on here. I just feel so restless.

Sadie still waiting for an update from you today. Hoping your silence means you're in labor! ;)

I googled it at 3am and had a cry! Why such a tease and no baby! The only positive is at lead to haven't had it for weeks. That would be torture!

Hope you are having a baby Sadie! X

Smithface, ugh it just gets worse!
 
Nothing here either. I've been feeling off and got a sore back but no contractions.
 
I had my baby at 3pm today! It was such a fast labour, went really well at home. Born weighing 9 pound 1, no tears :). Lost a litre of blood so got transferred to hospital afterwards. My iron levels are still great so will go home in the morning. Feel much better after this birth than my first, way less achy and tired. Xxx
 
Aw congrats Sadie! About time he showed his face! I hope we are not far behind you xx
