*****August 2014 Mummies*****

[Sprk]

My dh stopped asking me that question a couple of days ago. I think he realized it was upsetting me - mainly because I told him it was upsetting me lol. I almost yelled the last time he did it though. Got the mw coming in about an hour (better get out of my pjs lol) to try and do a sweep. The pains last night were awful. Every six minutes and I was actually crying out. Dh voluntarily timed things - I sure wasn't going to bother. Eventually the cocodemol kicked in and I was able to relax and sleep. I really really hope to hear that it wasn't for nothing and we made some progress. The cramps and pressure ....yikes!

Good luck to everyone today

Well sex didn't work blooming fed up, due tomorrow and nothing just pelvic bone pain and tightenings nothing major. Just want her here now and so does hubby he's so excited but does keep saying things that has upset me. He keeps coming home and working from home in the afternoon as he knows I'm really lonely and don't like being left in by myself for too long. Finally started to think about not driving now as it's painful on the floo floo but then I feel more lonely as I can't get out and no-one is free to visit. Just can't win!

I really don't want to drive but I have an appointment at 10:30 to have a BP check with the nurse. I could walk but it will take me 30 mins like this and I think I might get part way home and have to call a taxi. Lol.

DH has said he will stop asking after my outburst. I did apologise. It is just so frustrating. It's not like I have any control of it. I keep getting texts from his side of the family as well asking if there is any news. I have ignored the last few now.

MrsM I admire you for DTD! I keep thinking I will try it but by the time DH gets home I am so uncomfortable I don't think I can!

I hope we all have some better luck today!

 

[Sprk]

I don't even remember dtd lol. I know I did though, because I'm pg. Dh feels guilty he's not able to dtd, ever since he read that it can help things along. Mw just left....couldn't do the sweep because my cervix is 'way back there' and she has short fingers :-/ She did manage to massage it a bit though. I really hope it works....I don't want to be induced Monday - I've inky agreed because I know lo is getting big and we're trying for a vbac. Bah!!

Would love to stop driving, but dh can only go so far behind the wheel and I'll need him to drive me to the hospital if I go into labour. Just a few more errands to run and then he can officially take over though. Yay!

 

[Saxelby88]

Oh Sprk sorry the sweep couldn't be done. I have been told I can have one from today. So if I have more 'false' symptoms over the weekend I think I might ask for one Monday to see if we can get something going. Blood pressure is normal as it has been all the way through. The aspirin must be working as they expected.

I am going to have a lazy day today.

And it is one of my furry babies birthdays today! Pixie cat is 2! How sad... lol.

 

[nds]

hey girls - any news on hoping for no2 yet?


labour dust to you all!

[Sprk]

Hehehehehe we have 3 cats, so I understand lol. Happy bday to Pixie!

 

[OfficiallyMrsM]

Well ironing did nothing apart from give me back ache. Going to go for a walk later to see if I can get baby moving

 

[Saxelby88]

Not heard anything nds. Hopefully she is busy.

Oh MrsM. I am being super lazy today. Keep getting up to do little bits but just can't summon the motivation. I have some washing I could get on with.

Thanks Sprk!

 

[OfficiallyMrsM]

I keep trying to get motivated but it only comes in fits and starts so I'm only getting bits done. Wish I could just crack on and do all the things that need doing

5 days overdue now. Booooo.

I've turned to Clary Sage Oil now. Had a bath with it last night, and another this morning, put some on a muslin cloth and slept with it next to me. Have it by me to sniff throughout the day today. lol. Getting used to the overwhelming smell of it now! It def gives you twinges doesnt it? Whether it works and turns into anything stronger or more regular is another story. Fingers crossed.

If not, midwife due tomoro afternoon for potential sweep. Really didn't want to go this far, wanted him to come totally naturally. Sigh!

 

[Saxelby88]

I am not even due for a week and I have had enough already lol!

I can see me making it to 41 weeks then be induced (currently the plan) but having all these pains and signs until then. Hope not but that's what I have thought for a long time. DH thought I would have him today. He has been saying since we got the due date confirmed. I think he will be disappointed.

I would prefer not to be induced, but needs must, and to be honest, I would give anything to have my baby sooner rather than later.

 

[nds]

hopefully!

there's still time, sax

I keep posting on Facebook and forgetting here.

I started with regular tightening tonight but decided to come to bed rather than staying up walking around in hope. Just woke up at 1am needed a wee and started to get a dull period ache and going into my lower back. Have taken paracetamol and going to see if anything develops.

I have midwife tomorrow, today technically lol. For another S&S

 

[OfficiallyMrsM]

Due date and nothing >_< feel really fed up and get the feeling I'm going to be grumpy all day

 

[Saxelby88]

I feel for you MrsM.

My cousin gets married today and I was expected there. I kept explaining, since the invite when I was 8 weeks pregnant, that I might not make it. Too close etc.

I can hardly walk today. Been up all night with BH, needing to pee but can't, thirsty, crampy legs. Just as you would expect.

I have sent her a message wishing her good luck and congrats etc but I know I am going to get a barrage of messages from my dads side of the family about letting her down etc. She won't give a rats behind if I am there or not, it will be my nan.

I hope something happens for you today! I felt like DTD last night just to try and get things moving along a bit but DH had other ideas. I think the stress of waiting is getting to him now. I can see why but then I am the one who is living like a beached whale!

Mummy Bear - I hope it is the start for you. I have had almost constant period cramp since Monday morning now and nothing is happening!

 

[OfficiallyMrsM]

Here's hoping we all just get out of bed to a gush of waters and all go off and have babies (trying to be positive) x

 

[Happy84]

Haha I think that every morning, that Im going to stand up out of bed and whoosh! lol.
Well 40+6 and still here. Midwife due this afternoon for a potential sweep!
Was getting quite bad tightenings last night, went to bed and they seemed to disappear. Im niggly this morning tho so Im hoping the sweep helps things along.

 

[OfficiallyMrsM]

Fingers crossed. Mine is Tuesday, hoping it happens soon for all of us still waiting

 

[Saxelby88]

Well ladies I keep saying it but I think today may be the day.

Got up at 6:30am. Felt OK after BH during the night etc. Had a bath and felt good, back started hurting so got out before I got stuck in it! Spent the morning trying to get a Christmas list together and searching on line (Way too early but I start buying in September and I am always done by November!) and now I am feeling like this is it.

Still no bloody show. No waters breaking but I have had some discharge which was very watery (not pee) and now I have a grinding pain in my lower back which will not go despite heat/rest/changing position. This pain is going down my legs and around to left hand side of abdomen.

I can't keep still. I keep finding myself rocking. I am shaking as well.

If this continues until 2pm I am going to call the ward and see what they think. Getting the odd stabbing pain in abdomen too.
