good morning ladies

aw catty i hope they step up a gear soon but these 1 will be doing little things to your cervix so its not all for nothing hun take some paracetamol and try and rest for a bit if you cant get comfy to rest try leaning over something like a huge pile of pillows on your bed x

i didnt need to get up for the loo last night but i did wake up with cramp in my leg ouch then major backache this morning dont you just love pregnancy


how are you this morning pinky?

 

[wishuponastar]

Awww Catty...you must be getting frustrated! Keep going lovely.

xx

 

[jodied]

Catty - PP asked me to let you know she's thinking of you xx

 

[cherelle]

Catty1 i hope things speed up a bit for you soon! xx

 

[catty1]

Aww that's lovely, bless her.

I did get lots of rest in the night and was in bed from 1-3 and 4-6 albeit in a lot of pain. I was thinking though that maybe being up would be better to let gravity do its thing. Doesn't seem to be working though.

 

[pinkymum]

Catty that sucks, you've been waiting for ages and now labour is taking ages to get started for you

Not much happening here, the usual pains........

 

[jodied]

Happy due date liitlestar! How are you feeling? xx

 

[Littlestar]

Morning all xx

Awww good luck to pp and catty I really do hope things happen for you soon xx

Hiya jodied awww thank you! Wow can't believe its due date already it started to drag from 30weeks onwards now I can't believe how quick the 9months has gone. How are you and your little one? I'm okay thank you been having the odd pain here and there but doesn't seem to turn into anything I get my hopes up and then it disappears. Just been bouncing on my ball all morning. Have exhusted everything else to try and get her moving. Can't begin to feel how the other girls have felt being so far over due. Xxx

Sorry pinky for late reply.. Awww I will join you in the 40+ club to keep you company I will make sure I do come on more. These may babies are obviously to comfortable. No I don't have a midwife appointment she said she didn't want to see me if I was seeing the consultant on the thursday. Just don't really no what to expect as no one mentioned a sweep to me before. How are you feeling hopefully not to long till you meet your little baby emily xxx

Labour thread updated as PPs baby is here!

Littlestar - We are doing really well thankyou I cant believe Ella is six weeks old!! She's so beautiful! She suffers from wind quite badly at night so not getting much sleep but she's worth it!! xx

 

[pinkymum]

Happy due date little star!
Hello jodie
I'm lying on the sofa reading the new Madeleine book. I'm exhausted, these constant cramps, are annoying and my whole body just feels old haha. Happy days!
Hope Catty is ok, don't want to be constantly asking because I know what its like having people ask if I have any signs or if baby is here yet.

if it works you will have a baby but thats going to happen anyway lol

 

[pinkymum]

Fingers crossed treeze! I'm hoping my cervix wants to play nice on Wednesday!

 

[treeze]

lol midnight!

I've been telling myself alll the way through this pregnancy not to expect to have the baby by my due date as i was so gutted last time when i went nearly 2 weeks over... I've convinced myself of that so much that i will probbaly go into shock if it does happen any earlier and of it's own accord!! Oh well see what midwifey has to say tomorrow!!!!

 

[pinkymum]

It's probably better to think like that treeze. Tbh I thought I'd go a few days early, so I've been disappointed that I didn't but I'm ok just now. Ask me tomorrow and I'll be fed up again!

 

[treeze]

i really thought i'd go by my due date with my first pregnancy - even though everyone i spoke to, all the magazines i read etc all said that it can be anywhere between 37-42 weeks but i still thought "nah.. i bet i'll have it on time"... then i didn't and just got more and more fed up...

so i promised myself this pregnancy to just think the worst that i'll go 2 weeks over and be induced... anything that happens sooner, or of it's own accord and i'll be well happy!!!!

Likewise with the sweep tomorrow - i'm sure she's gonna say "nope, can't do it cervix is posterior, hard and 0 cm dilated!"... oh well by this time tomorrow i'll know!!!

It would actually be better if baby stayed put for a few days as my little girl Josie is full of cough and cold at the mo so it would be nice if she shifted that before the baby comes!

 

[pinkymum]

This is what the cervical examination bit in my notes said once mw filled it in
Dilation <1
Length of cervix 1-2cm
Station -2
Consistency soft
Position posterior



Doesn't look very promising hoping it'll be different on Wednesday and I'll try not to be too disappointed if its not!
I was just thinking I haven't even.lost any plug yet, not even little bits!

 

[pinkymum]

Very quiet in this thread tonight! Baby is pushing down so much its bloody sore! I think I'll be asking for an epidural after all

Anyone know if catty has been on?

 

[xx emma xx]

Was just thinking that, she's been very quiet. Might be in labour x
