K80 has indeed had her baby kanga. F***k me I've had the longest few days ever!!! Very quick summary. Contractions started wed evening, went to midwife led unit at 1am. Only 1-2 cm, back Home not a bit of sleep, contractions got stronger, back to MLU at 5.30am (now thurs morning) took case cos...

Been having contractions since late this afternoon. Started timing them on my phone when they were 8 mins apart lasting just over a minute. Getting a bit closer together now and quite a bit more nippy at their peak. Have kind of tried to sleep but impossible. Just about to take couple...

You need to eat the equivalent of 8 pineapples in one go to release the enzyme that would encourage the uterus to contract so you certainly won't be in any danger of prem labour with a good helping each day. Fruit is good for you and if you are craving it you should give in to it!

That's me term+2 and had contraction like pains for a couple hours at 3am this morning. Still got constant period like pain and lost the first of my plug this morning. Feeling quite positive (and frigging nervous!!) that stuff should happen soon.

That's bloody awful. That happened to my DH and I a few years ago at MILs house. It took us a while to actually believe it had happened and that someone could've been so brazen to walk in through front door, into first room they came to (spare room where we were staying the night) and just help...

Good luck xx

Can u not play her at her own game, be really petty and have a laugh at the same time- pick a fault with her and go on and on and on about it!! I just tell people that I'm measuring fine and everyone's different. Hate how everyone has an opinion. My DH says I need to toughen up and when people...

He's a big cutie!! He's like my dog - looks older than he is, my dog is 3 too. I can imagine him being a big lump of a thing!! Good lick with dog trainer. I reckon we might need a visit from one soon too - our terriers barking is driving me in sane! Can only imagine how annoyed I'll get when he...

Well I don't know for definite I'd get one. My midwife unit are extremely laid back and I've heard other folk be offered sweeps at 40+2. They might just ask me back at end of week or something.

I guess you're right. The internals before and after labour are the bits I'm most nervous about. Sounds stupid,eh?! I had a really really over due smear last summer and cried all the way through, nurse ended up giving me a hug after it to calm me down!! But u are right, it'll give me a boost of...

Everything stopped and although I've had a great nights sleep I reckon I might have to face the dreaded sweep at midwife today. So nervous about it though. Might see if they'll leave me til end of week to see if I start myself if everything is fine with baby. Really frustrating - especially when...

So I had been miserable for last few days as I've had very few signs of being anywhere near labour. However woke up with period cramps this morning and have had really quite a sore lower back since lunch time. Too uncomfy to sit on sofa and only comfy on my ball so I hoping things might be...

Do not let him just get away with this. He will do it to someone else someday. Please please don't let him walk all over the top of you. I am absolutely gob-smacked he is such an arsehole. He deserves to be reported. Utterly shocked. Poor you. Keep your chin up, not long til you finish up xxxxx

I'm pescatarian (sp?) - only eat fish, however went off fish most of way through pregnancy. I've had no problems at all even though I was sure I'd be low on iron at some point. I think when you're veggie you tend to be more aware and careful of what you eat anyway. I know I have been so...

Sounds like a nightmare! But glad the end result was a lovely baby boy for you. Congratulations!! Xxxxxx
