The last half hour has eased right down! :( So I'm currently bouncing on my ball and I will take the dogs for a brisk walk around the block in a while too! I really hope this isn't a false alarm :S

Started to trickle a very pale pink water last night and has happened another 5 times throughout and this morning along with odd cramps on and off all night only to become somewhat regular this morning around 3.30am. So have been up since timing and they so far have varied from every 4mins to 10...

Had my sweep on Monday morning and although I still have no baby I'm positive it helped kick start something. Last night I lost my plug and have had an increase in pains so all good signs something is happening! :) Also it didn't hurt to have done, just slightly strange! All the best and hope...

This morning I had a sweep done. I am now 4 days over so was at least over the moon to hear that I had already started to dilate naturally...only 1 cm but still better than nothing! Midwife did the sweep anyhow and said she felt babies head and waters pushing down so all good signs. She also...

I wish I could watch but I know it will set me off and I won't stop lol I will come back to it once baby is here and I'm no longer an emotional wreck ha x

I feel your frustration! I'm 4 days over now, hope you have some luck soon too! :) x

I've used the gel from Mothercare and following what it says on the box you only need to massage it into the area to allow it to soften the skin. And you should do it every day from 34 weeks. However if your feeling brave I guess you could youtube how perineal massage is actually done and give...

I keep feeling the same I'm so scared that I've gone through all this and that there will be something wrong when she finally arrives. It's a horrible feeling! Just got to keep looking back and remember the amazing journey we have been/are on and that our babies will soon be safe and sound in...

2 days later...lol I truly hope this little one comes soon or the sweep I'm booked for on Monday does something to help along as I've had enough now. I'm so so uncomfortable! Am still going about normal business, shopping, cleaning, walking dogs etc etc as well as doing all the things people...

Ah hope you have some good luck soon! I have my sweep monday morning if this baby doesnt show this weekend so praying Im not too much longer waiting! :) xx

It's definitely a bit of an anti climax after having this one date in your mind for so long even though we know full well nothing may happen on that date. But at the same time you hope and pray your one of the 5% that come on their due dates lol Just trying my best to get on with normality...

So I've finally reached my official due date (my signature below is a week out) and apart from a few period type pains this morning absolutely nothing is happeneing! As expected of course! lol Just sitting around not really knowing what to do with myself...everything is ready, the house is...

I've been advised all along to avoid sleeping for long periods of time on a totally flat back after 31 weeks as it can put pressure on a main artery, however one midwife has told me if it's the ONLY position you can get comfy in then don't panic too much. You gotta sleep and you got to take...

lol Not heard this one before...maybe just your heightened sense of smell so even if it is there, noone else can smell it I'm sure lol ;) xx

Oh no... will they try again for you or just wait it out now? I will be having a sweep next Monday morning if this little one doesn't arrive over the weekend. Was really relieved that they are happy to start things in order for me not to go too over but if it doesn't work...I guess theres only...
