*** June 2015 Mummies ***

It's my last day at work today - wohoo!!
Just trying to make sure I do everything I need to. It's hard with no guidance when you're responsible for everything.

I'm suddenly remembering loads of things I had meant to do before I stopped but I just can't muster the energy to do them x
 
Back from sweep. No change really, still 2cm and baby sitting very low. She says im well thinned out and all is favourable so just need contractions!! Sweep was ok, few cramps after. The waiting game continues...
Got myself a few plants, bit of an impluse buy and something id previously decided not to bother with this year due to baby. Hoping to get out and pot them later if it drys up, hopefully the activity will kick start labour.

Buggy im sure your glad its finally your last day. Will you hear today if you can get a sweep tomorrow then?

Keep bouncing on those balls ladies, we're due another baby boom! x
 
Well, the sweep saga is still continuing for me at the moment

The secretary got back to me and said the consultant has updated the system to say I can have a sweep from tomorrow. I called my midwife to arrange (as told to) and got her voicemail saying she's on annual leave!

So I've tried calling the community office as I know they'll do it if she's not around but I've rung about 10 times and they're not picking up. It's so frustrating
 
Buggy - Really hope you get your sweep. Have you managed to get through to the midwives yet?

More period type pain here, don't know whether its just muscle ache/ligament stretching though so not getting my hopes up any time soon.

Full on nesting mode again :) Tempted to clear out DS room whilst he's away but I would hate to accidently throw away something that I thought was rubbish but he is really fond of (like the 15 'precious stones' that he has lined up on his window sill or the many McDonald's toys littering his toy box).

How is everyone else feeling?

xx
 
I'm ok!

Was up late last night, one born USA was on channel 4 :) can't remember who asked and you have all been rather talkative today!

Yep it was me who has had the dry mouth! Still getting it, just not to the extreme I had it at 2 occasions in the pregnancy. Nothing I could do except lip balm to stop my lips splitting. Maybe try the chemist. I was earlier in my pregnancy when I went chemist and they said I was too early on for anything.

I've slept the day away again! Woke up at 10 after being up until 4 and was back asleep by half 12 until 2pm. Obviously needed it! Xx
 
I'm getting nothing! Due date isn't til a week on Monday but I'm already getting pestered by people ugh. Midwife told me 2/3rds of ftm s go over due date so I'm expecting he'll stay put and need to be dragged out hah. I can understand why people get annoyed by the "still pregnant?" messages though!
 
Aw that must be so annoying! I also don't like that statistic that 2/3rds go overdue :lol:.

I'm having really sharp pains that take my breath away in my right...something, best location to give you is ovary! Guessing baby is trapping a nerve? I'm wearing flip flops today on your advice and my feet look a bit better. I got caught in a downpour at lunch but it was glorious getting water on my feet haha! x

Hi ladies, just had quick scan of posts, will have a proper read later. Back from my 38 week appointment, all good. I didn't see usual lady so good. The one today went into more detail. Baby is well and truly engaged, she put 2/5 engaged so basically 2/5 of baby's head not in pelvis. That's good enough for me, no way it's popping out now. Also asked for any pointers on encouraging baby to come, suggested squatting which I haven't tried yet, I bought 2 pineapples earlier, and done a 2 mile walk round trip to midwife. My next appointment is on my due date where they will give me a sweep if I haven't had baby by then. Baby was also really quiet today but as soon as I got to my appointment baby went crazy but MW said to call if worried still and that they should offer a scan if I go up to hosp a 3rd time.
 
Hi all :-). Been out all day. Went a walk around shopping centre... Managed to drop my phone and smash the screen :-( so had to get that repaired. £45 I didn't wanna spend today!!

Went to my parents this afternoon and helped my mum buy some things - isofix base for her car and a travel cot. Baby is kicking like a crazy person against my ribs this afternoon. So uncomfy. Am wondering if wee one has got a foot wedged.

Lower back pretty sore but that's about it from me. Few twinges in cervix so I think baby is quite low but can't really be sure.

Lol bless Belfa - it's been pissing it down here as well. But you have defo got to do what you got to do.

Hope you get your sweep tomorrow buggy!!
 
Think I will be! They said it would be fine but I won't know what time until the morning, fingers crossed. I have a feeling they won't be able to reach my cervix but it's worth a try!!
 
Good luck HH with this sweep.

Buggy bet you are glad to be done with work. Also hope you get your sweep.

I seriously cannot stop peeing tonight, so annoying and my legs ache so making it hard to bounce on my ball. Ate 3/4 of a pineapple too lol. Hope everyone having a nice evening.
 
Just thought I'd pop in and say hello. I was trying to stay connected to both may and June groups but it was so hard!! I know there's a few days left in May but I've been certain all along that I would be having a June baby!
 
I know how you feel Tasha, I'm determined not to have a July baby but I probably will!

How are you feeling? x
 
Yea I feel absolutely fine. I'm in no rush for this baby to come out which is lovely because with my first I had had enough by 30weeks :)
He'll come when he's ready, although as I'm aiming for a VBAC the sooner the better. I'm booked in for induction on 11th June if nothing has happened by then. But I can't imagine going 11 days over.
 
My baby gave me a practice run yesterday. Woke up in the morning with braxton hicks, which were really regular and started to hurt. Called midwife and she asked me to go in, they monitored them and they were about 4 mins apart. Ended up having a check to see if I was in labour but no dilation at all, but I had to stay there for ages to be sure. Now they have stopped!!! I really thought that might have been it. I dont know if it means I might go into labour sooner rather than later or not...I am 36 weeks today!
 
Hi Tasha, if you are induced its on my due date.

Belfa, I think that's the deal I got last time.

Rachyroo glad all ok.

I'm feeling really off today, almost a bit nauseous, bit of a headache and worn out, I slept in until 10am..lazy me. Got the In laws coming for tea and the way I'm feeling right now not in the mood.

That sounds similar to what happened to me on Monday, my BH's were 10mins apart though but I did wonder if with my increased watery discharge that might mean I wouldn't be overdue but know not to get my hopes up. Have a consultant appointment and scan on Tuesday so I'll see what they say about his position.

Actually, when I was getting ready for bed last night the discharge started running down my leg again! x
 
Wow busy thread, hard to keep up so sorry if i miss any one.

Welcome tasha wink! Im hoping for a vbac here too!

Rachyroo im sure that was nerve wrecking for you, hopefully baby will stay put longer and not give u any more false alarms.

Buggy what time are u getting your sweep at? Keep us posted on how things go...good luck

Sounds like everyone's making more progress. Im ok after yest sweep although have noticed increased discharge and more cramping and backache. The cramps seemed to come in waves although wasnt able to time them as there wasnt an obvious start end or tightening. Just feel generally crampy now...urgh. Im childfree today so going to jump in bath soon. Im getting my hair done tomorrow as just realised how bad my roots are, so would really like baby to stay put until tomorrow preferably lol x

Hows everyone today??
