**February Babies 2012**

[Nic36]

Don't know what's wrong with me today sat here crying my eyes out and have no idea why

Cant seem to stop myself either

I don't know what it is that's making my cry. The only thing I can think of is that the realisation that I'm gonna have a baby has finally hit me, and hard. I'm not scared or nervous about labour and birth, I guess it's just the unknown after that. I don't feel depressed, just a tad overwhelmed I think.

After wanting to be a mum for 10 years and it taking us 2 and a half years with ivf being our next step if Pip hadn't have shown up, I can't believe I'm a day away from my due date with a healthy baby boy and a very excited husband.

Just had to get this out of my system, still crying! Typing with blurry eyes is quite difficult!

Aww... Huge hugs, Carly... Xx. I can totally empathise with the tearfulness - I have felt that way on and off all week for a range of reasons.

This is a huge change for us all - a massive step we are about to take into unknown territory. When you've wanted something so long, it's natural to feel totally overwhelmed now it's all about to become reality. I've been married 8 and half years, and honestly never thought I'd ever become a mummy... Now that day is almost here I really cannot accept it will be really happening!

The journey to motherhood is almost complete... Smile, chin up and give yourself a huge pat on the back for making It this far!

Thanks Hannah. Just seems so surreal that a helpless little baby is finally gonna need me.

Cheers Nic. I just hope this isn't a daily occurrence until he arrives! I'll look a bloody state by then! Lol!

Bring on labour is all I can say!

carly. Think we've all had days like this. Getting a bit scary now. We're just back from matty unit, officially had a false alarm, apparently could happen a few times. Lol. Xxx

Aww poor Carly think the realisation has hit most of us now.
I'm still 2-3cms had another sweep today, suppose least I know my LO is on the way. Have terrible back ache now, and all day its been there and achy bits . Just been for a little walk as been told to keep active but my back is killing and its too cold out in the snow, and yes we have snow!! Seems to be the only place with a bit of snow.
Hope all Feb mummies are ok just seems our LO's are liking being late! Xxx

 

[benjis mum]

Just been to maternity for a sweep. Midwife said I was 2cm dilated and things look good....feel a bit 7ncomfortable but think that's more to do with sweep than actual labour. Now feel very excited but very very scared!

 

[l_maclean]

We have snow too, DH was attempting to put his foot down last night when we thought bubs might be considering making an appearance. Lol. Xxx

 

[x_larlybelle_x]

Luckily we dont have snow! It's been quite mild today so was hoping it would tempt Pip into making an appearance. Now I want him to stay put until next month but as long as he arrives before 3rd March so I can still go into the mlu!

My MLU, havent given me a deadline about being too late. Maybe I should ask that. xxx

 

[x_larlybelle_x]

Mine let u go 12 days over as long as it starts naturally. If I have to be induced I have to go on the labour ward

 

[Nic36]

No snow here either... Went shopping this afternoon which cheered me up a bit... and had lunch out.
Whether or not little Miss comes of her own accord or with induction, this will be our last weekend as a couple! Funny to think that!

Ours is the same... My induction is booked for Thursday when I will be 11 days over as my consultant wanted me to go in on a day when she will be there for two days running (thurs and Friday). So my chances of being on the MLU are running out...

 

[x_larlybelle_x]

Naughty baby girl!

 

[Nic36]

Naughty baby girl!

Indeed!!!

 

[l_maclean]

Hmmm - i maybe should ask about this then - cos the MLU i wanna go to isnt attatched to the hospital - need to have totally different plans if im not allowed to go there. really dont wanna have to go to the hospital. xxx

 

[x_larlybelle_x]

Give them a call tomorrow and ask. At least u can prepare urself if need be xx

 

[l_maclean]

I;ve got the midwife on tuesday anywaay, so ill ask her about the options. I do kinda feel like things suddenly moved forward yesterday, and i still have a week till DD. All my plans involve a water birth, and i dont even know if hospital has facility to do that!

 

[HanSam]

Yeah i am in the same boat! Want / need little one to make an appearance before 42 weeks naturally so that can go to MLU. I have my heart / head set on it!! Reallly really don't want to go to hospital!! x
