who can go MOST overdue?!

Morning,

Fantastic Catlady, very excited for you!!!!!

I'm with you all on the 'people making stupid comments thing' drives me nuts!!! The fave tho has to be same as Emma says ' do you realise it's just getting bigger and bigger in there?? ' AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! What a stupid thing to say to a fed u, frightened pregnant woman!!!!

Anyhoo,

I have my 3rd and final sweep this morning all though I'm already on a downer thinking what is the point. Was up all last night really upset thinking about induction etc. I know I shouldn't be so pessemistic but I can't help it, I just feel totally useless and that I'm doing something wrong that my baby doesn't want to come out Stupid I know but I'm tired and hormonal at the mo. Maybe a cuppa will sort me out.

Hope you're all well xx

Or you are doing such a good job of being pregnant, your little man is soooo happy that is why he doesn't want to come out!

Really hoping your sweep works today. I too have had a rough night and morning worrying about induction, have lost all hope baby will come before then as i now have no signs at all, not even losing any plug anymore. It's natural to feel that way so don't beat yourself up for having a pessimistic day, sometimes you just have to let yourself feel crap for a while before you can pick yourself back up again. Let us know how the sweep goes. Not long now. xx

Thanks hun

I seem to have stopped loosing plug too, feel really crampy and everything feels soooo low but not taking that s a sign for anything. I'm going to get my sweep, clean the house then walk until my legs fall off today. It's the only thing for it!! x

Thanks girls, still having contractions, abit erratic though but times are getting shorter about 6 - 12 minutes between each one. Lost even MORE plug, quite bloody, back hurting too. Still trying not to get too excited as I know in this early stage it can easily just stop!!
I was told only yesterday how enormous I was now looking, my neighbours have been away for the week and said wow, you have grown even in a week! I was like thanks for that. Its not like we are not aware they are still growing!

Hun, I have had 3 sweeps too. IF this is labour, then it is almost 48 hours after my third sweep that things have started.
You are not doing anything wrong, we are all feeling abit useless, yesterday I started crying in the middle of town, my poor dh was mortified. Especially as he is a policeofficer in the town we were visiting, I think he was worried everybody would think he was a wifebeater!
I hope it goes well for you hun, even if it doesnt work then you will still be induced on Monday and have your baby then! Thats the way I am looking at it, if things stop, then I will still be induced on Wednesday, although have a fourth sweep booked for Monday!

I hope your sweeps start something off for you. Sending you loads of Labour Labour Labour

Emma - Happy Birthday hun FX you get the best pressie ever going into labour and having your baby.

I saw my MW on Thurs 05/08 she did an internal but could not do a sweep as my cervix was closed She did say my cervix is central, she could move it about, it had shortened to 0.5cm and, it was ripening also I started losing my plug albit 2 very small amounts. Things begining to go the right way. My BP was slightly raised and along with my swollen feet and hands I was sent to the hospital for a blood test and told to ring maternity 2hrs later to get results. Blood results were all ok so, I don't have pre eclepsia(?spelling)so thats good. Yesterday, I lost 2 big glogs of my plug and mw came round to see me at home, BP still raised but she's not worried about that as bloods are all ok and normal, baby's heartbeat was 140 so he/she is very happy and content to still be where he/she is(glad one of us is!!!)wee was also all normal. Today, I haven't lost anymore of plug so far and I had a BH at 11:35am and will see when the next one arrives. I have taken to writing down the times as I keep forgetting when I have them I think it is because I am convinced nothing is going to happen and I will need inducing.

That's me just back from my 3rd sweep. The last 2 I have only lost a bit of jelly dc afterwards, this time I went for a wee when I got home and had a whoosh of blood. My back feels super crampy. Please please baby come out before we need Monday's induction.

She also said I am about 2cm and 50% effaced. x

Do you think there is a chance I could go into labour myself before Monday morning???

Nah, it didn't hurt, it was just uncomy but I already felt really crampy and a wee bit sore down there from the last 2 sweeps x

Hey hun, this is a really good sign!! Now get walking/decorating or whatever bounce on that ball etc. And hopefully we will both be mummys by the end of the day or at least the weekend!

Am still having contractions, coming about every 6 - 9 minutes apart now, becoming more painfull, just had to take some paracetemol and really hope for the best! When I spoke to labour ward, she said they could still stall. So trying not to get my hopes up but am praying this is it!!

Good luck Cat lady!!!!

Thanks, just starting to get my last few bits together for the hospital. They are really starting to intensify,I cant imagine they will stop now after going on for so long, but its that they are still irregular (4 - 7mins now) which makes me think they are going to stop at any moment!

OMG, I think I am the most uncomfortable I have ever been in my life! Still very crampy, bleeding a bit and feel as though I am bursting for a wee but can't go, tummy going rock solid when I try to go. Ouchy!!! x

Excellent signs!! Are the cramps separate? Can you count them and time distance between them?
