Morning everyone
No signs from me at all in fact any pressure I've had or backache etc has well and truly gone away and I feel quite energetic today so I'm off to do some chores round the house then going for a walk as I feel like I've put on lots more weight in the last wk (Petchy those cookies were so delicious I couldn't stop eating them and the whole batch has gone!)
Hope everyone is ok,
Lucy

Morning everyone
Pips - must be an old wives tale!
We delayed buying the equipment for the baby and so the start of my maternity leave was spent going shopping, now I've outgrown most clothes so spend more time in the house (that sounds really vain, I'm not honest!) and am noticing all the wee cleaning jobs that need doing! Aggghhh and just discovered a huge ironing pile!
Petchy - Woohoo, D day at last! Did you Mum arrive safely yesterday? That must be lovely to have her over here with you.

Morning all!
Im still here, and have had next to no signs, slight period pains very on and off tho. I keep dreaming that i end up at hospital, rather than birth centre where they refuse me a water birth!
Great news for Sarah, enjoy your time with your mum Petchy, wont be long.
Thanks to you all for your cheery replies to my miserable post yesterday!

waaaaaaaay to much info i know 
but i've just had a major big poo (proper clearout) and never before have i been so excited to have a bout of diarrhea...
i wonder if this could be a sign that things are hotting up????? i certainly hope so!!!
if you don't see me posting in the morning you'll know why! lol (wishful thinking!!)

Petchy that could be a good sign, i had really bad poo's an hour before my waters went!!!
Fingers crossed this is it. Every web page i went on to check for signs or labour approaching said a major clear out is a definate sign.
Good Luck Hun
I won't be able to check tomorrow as i have my op but i hope everything kicks off for you

Petchy (and the rest of you!)
Hope this is it!!!!!! you must be so anxious for things to start moving.
I went to parentcraft yesterday and the M/W brought in a new baby to show us and I started blubbing - cannot wait for it all to happen!
Keep us posted! - did you manage to get your homebirth sorted?

no..... must have just been from the fact that i'd stuffed my face with dinner a few hours earlier!! lol
arghh, i'd promised myself i wouldn't start fretting over it if i went overdue (after all only 4% of babies arrive on their EDDs) but now i'm "officially" overdue myself i've realised it's easier said than done!!!

Hi everyone
Hey I can't see a post from Kx yesterday or today perhaps she's holding her wee baby as I type!?
Petchy - I think the clear out was a good sign, my MW was telling me today that that sometimes happens in run up to labour so could be any time now! Do you have a sweep booked or anything? Is it today you meet with the midwife?
I'm just back from my weekly MW appointment - I know it's not a significant change as lots of you have had engaged babies for a while but for the first time on my notes it says 4/5ths engaged whoo hoo! I've got a sweep booked for next Friday when I'll be a couple of days over due.
Trying to decide whether to book in for some hair highlights next wk - every time I've had them done during pregnancy they haven't taken as well as normal but not sure how long it will be until I can sit still in a chair for that amount of time

Hi Pips
Sorry I haven't had chance to send a PM asking after your trip to France. How long are you staying here after the birth of the baby? I was chatting to Jean and we said we'd try and arrange a meet after the babies are born - do you think you'll be here then?
The pains sounds interesting, hopefully if nothing else it means things are starting in some way.
