40 week + club!

Good luck with ur sweep, let us know how it goes.

I woke up to contractions at 4am, every 7mins, then getting closer. By 6am they were 4 mins apart and getting worse, I lay back down as was tired as progressively losing more and more sleep each nite, and I fell asleep! Woke up little while ago to nothing again! My hope is that my body stops labour kicking on due to being so tired.....overall inc this mornings sleep I've slept well for first time in ages so 'come on baby I'm ready now!!'
 
ah ladies im not here with you but wanted to send you my wishes and hope it all happens soon for you. xxx
 
honeylops it sounds like your body is definately gearing up i wouldn't be suprised if you dont go soon or when you have next sweep next week you will be dilated to a few cm's. I think i will be pretty much the sameon sweep today maybe cervix a bit thinner midwife will be so shocked to see me I am actualy looking forward to the look on her face when she realises i'm still going with bulging waters, i think i have an industrial bag hehe
 
Thinking of you MOM :)

Hope you've had some good news about progress.

My contractions have started up again, bit more painful than before but quite far apart this time. Oh what fun we have in the 40+ club!! LOL x X
 
just checking in to see how you guys are coming along. hope you have your wee ones soon. Its sounding pretty good for you honeyloops, hopefully not too much longer!
 
just had my sweep and I am the same as last time 3cm dilated waters bulging still thick but soft cervix. she is really suprised i am still pregnant and to carry on another sweep booked for thursday and she said i'm just waiting for those waters to go and when they do baby will come and again she could break them with her finger, again i have no pains nothing which is good for now, 7pm tonight i want some pains lol.
honeyloops your sounding very promising with more contractions come on baby.

You'd think so, afraid this has become part of my daily routine over the past 8 weeks or so! So even though it sounds good, I doubt much will happen to me til they induce me, whenever that may be! X X

Hoping you manage to hold of til you've got ur vehicle! I bet her face was a classic to see you today with ur history! lol
 
yes she was like what are you still doing here, i have been waiting for your text all weekend to tell me where you had baby lol she said i not saying anything now about you having it, i will say carry on with sweeps twice a week then they will induce you 2 weeks over if nothing thats all i saying lol
 
Probably a silly question but If you didn't have a vehicle to pick up MOM, could you not have asked her to just break your waters as you are 3cm or does it not work like that?

Aww sorry to hear that honeyloops :( you never know though this week might be the week - positive thinking!

no they not allowed to do it sweeps has been the only thing consultant llowing them to do, but she reckons when i am 2 weeks overdue they will probably break my waters to induce.
 
hmm maybe i cant get it on my phone im still living in the stone age when it comes to mobiles haha
 
Where is Loulabelle today?x x

Im here! Been out walking with my mum all day! I never log out so am constantly shown as online. Nothing to report from me, just hoping for developments at midwife tomorrow and hoping 2nd sweep has an effect. Hope both you girls are ok xxx
 
Aw bless you....I've been out walking lots today too. Let us know how ur appointment goes! X x
 
Hey Ladies, was just checking in for an update on you guys. What is up with the April babies?! Hope you're all ok. x
 
Oh my goodness, After more painful long contractions, this time over 3mins in length but still quite far apart....I woke up at 1am with severe stabbing sharp pains low down as if it was coming from my cervix. Bit like it was irritated nerve endings that baby's head was disturbing. Wasn't with contractions, no pattern to it, but bloody hurt to the point of making my eyes water! Managed to get up after half hour, took paracetamol and it dulled it enough so I could sleep. Not looking forward to over a week more of this girls.....there's going overdue and then there's going OVERDUE! :S
 
Ah pants Honeyloops. I got up this morning thinking that maybe you'd be away!
