[pinkymum]

[treeze]

i'm 19th May but I'm trying to keep in my mind that it if goes the same way as my first i might just go into June! I really hope this one's early but i bet it won't be!

 

[PinkPanther]

Luckily we ordered a madras and a balti, so me and hubby ended up swapping meals

Is anyone doing anything nice today? Dd1 is going to her dads today, hubby going to the match so it's just me and Dd2. I'm trying to think of something that will entertain her but keep me relaxed as well.

Treeze, I was due end of may with dd2 and luckily for me she came. Fingers crossed for you.

 

[pinkymum]

I have nothing exciting planned for today. How old is DD2?

I'm due on the 5th, and have been having BH and head is engaged, but nothing else yet. I just want a few more days of sunshine to enjoy in the garden before she arrives. I wonder if we will have them on the same day Pink Panther. Has anyone started the raspberry leaf tea, etc? xx

 

[pinkymum]

I've been drinking the raspberry leaf tea Nanc, infact I have one right now Midwife even suggested it Have you? Although I'd like her to stay put till next week when the nursery should be finished

Just jumping in as another May mummy-to-be.

Due on the 5th and getting lots of random pains and BH but nothing i could honestly describe as early labour like.

Having said for the last last couple of months I would be happy for him to come late I am now changing my mind as I am getting more and more uncomfortable and grumpy everyday!

Good luck to all the other May mummies

xx

 

[pinkymum]

Good luck Catty!

Ive been drinking the rasberry leaf tea but very rarely .. Ive been eating lots of pineapple only cos I love it though, Im not bothering with anythingg else.. well not yet.. maybe if I get to a week over I may change my mind lol... Still no signs though although baby has quietened down a little bit maybe thats a good sign.. also got a horrid metal taste in my mouth although dunno what thats from ...

Loving the sunshine though... hope it keeps up

She's 3 going on 33 if you know what I mean! Luckily the weather is nice so she's out in the garden. I've had a text from school today telling me no nursery tomorrow either. Bang goes my morning of peace!


Oooh nanc and catty we've all got the same due date! I wonder who will pop first. Although by my dates my due date should have been the 7th-10th but the scan confirmed the 5th. So you girls could be way before me.

I started taking rlt tablets about 35 weeks. I can't stand the taste of the tea so I wimped out and take the tablets instead.

Beth hopefully the baby quietening down is a good sign, fingers crossed.

 

[pinkymum]

I love the tea

Just had fresh pineapple, it really hurt my mouth

 

[bethx]

I dont mind the tea too much I just have been off hot drinks so keep forgetting... I love fresh piineapple but it does hurt your mouth especially when you have ulcers like I havee. Ive been eating an extra large oone everyday for the last 3 days and I have one to get munching once my dinners gone down .. Im not doing castor oil as cant stand the idea of that cant decide whether to try the clary sage oil stuff.. anyone gonna?

 

[PinkPanther]

I love the tea

Just had fresh pineapple, it really hurt my mouth

I'm off to get some pineapple tomorrow. Does it sting your mouth?

Definitely won't be doing the castor oil, but unsure of the clary sage as I don't know a lot about it.

 

[bethx]

It dies sting your mouth if you eat alot.. Im buying an extra large pineapple every day and eating it in 2 portions.. Todays hasnt stung my mouth too mcuh nor did the first day but yesterdays pineapple really stung.

 

[pinkymum]

My mouth got really sore! Don't think i'll be having anymore pineapple

 

[Cantstop]

I don't like pineapple so not going to bother with that, but I've got my RLT capsules all ready to go! Was going to start them on Wed as that is 37 weeks day. I have a horrible feeling that I'm going to end up being induced early though but hopefully that'll not be the case, I don't want to queue jump at all.

At one of the ante-natal classes they told us that castor oil was a load of bollocks and wouldn't help at all so def not to bother with that, which is good cos it's disgusting!

 

[pinkymum]

I've read that Castor oil gives you the runs and sickness so I ain't be doing that. I had more pains last night and my whole tummy is still going tight. Woke up about an hour ago with them but they're not easy to time and they're not that sore so its still nothing exciting. The pain is in my back too, think its braxton hicks. I keep thinking baby is quieter as well. Anyway, I can imagine I'll be at this for another couple of weeks!

 

[bethx]

Pinkymum your baby is not allowed to come before mine !! Ive still had no signs ...

I know a few people that have used the castor oil and it has put them into labour but it does give you the runs and ive read of people who have had the runs all through labour which must be awful so ill be giving that one a miss.

I wish baby would just decide to make an appearance himself sometime soon..
