May Mummies!!!!

[treeze]

cor - i thought the "May Mummies" thread had gone it was so far down the list!!!

aaarrgh i'm soooooo bored... the highlight of my day was looking forward to my Saturday Night and watching Britains Got Talent... only to remember about 5 mins before that it's on tomorrow night instead cos of the flippin football!!! Gutted!

So i came to bed early and been reading birth stories about inductions and overdue babies instead. Don't think baby likes me being on the laptop in bed much though - hopefully it will make her get a shift on and put in an appearance before my induction on Tues!!!

My "post-sweep" pains and plug/bloody discharge have completely gone now... just very uncomfortable at night... get these nasty tightenings very low down but i think it's when i need a wee cos once i get up and go to the loo they dissapear. must be the pressure on my bladder i think?

today i have been mainly thinking about:

1. being induced if baby's head is still not engaged and if this will cause problems or need for a c-section?
2. having a whopper of a baby! (josie was 8lb 3oz at 10 days over) and I'm not being induced til 12 days over this time!
3. How I am going to keep my cool the next time someone rings, emails, texts or makes a comment about twinges, baby not here etc... not to mention that the "diet and weight loss" comments are bound to kick in a few days after giving birth!

On a very positive note though...since my pile exploded last week it has gradually healed, virtually dissappeared and taken it's other 3 pile friends away with it!!! I never dreamed i could get rid of them before giving birth!! Lovin the proctesedyl ointment now i can use it again!!!!! You can't imagine how nice it is for your bum to feel back to normal again!! Although I should have shares in andrex though the amount of moist toilet wipes i've got through recently!!!

Treeze that's good about your piles, at least you won't have them when in labour now. I'm only due today and people are annoying me already. I'm never this popular with texts and phone calls. One of my friends asked me on fb if I had any movements yet and she said she will text me tomorrow for an update!!! That text will not get a reply!
My brother was texting me loads and I just said to him 'believe it or not I am the most impatient one waiting for the baby and I'm the one that is pregnant.
I feel for you, you must be getting far more people on at you by now being so overdue. I'm praying I've had the baby by next weekend. My mum and oh are convinced I will be in labour tomorrow. Xx

 

[treeze]

aaargh i know... the phone calls and texts are really winding me up now....

one friend rang yesterday and ended the call with "oh well i'll ring again tomorrow to see if anythings happened".... er no please don't make me sit here and repeat myself again about how nothing has happened!

the thing I don't understand is that I have said to each and every one of them how annoying it is that everyone keeps ringing, checking and asking yet they still keep doing it every day! I had exactly the same with Josie when she was born 10 days late too so you'd think people would just be patient and remember how late i was last time!!!

i'm up early today as i got my usual nightime pains which always amount to nothing... i've concluded that they are something to do with my sleeping position because as soon as i get up they go away!

Oh well at least Britains Got Talent''s definately on tonight!

 

[treeze]

wonder if mrs B has gone into labour ... she's not been on since Friday?

 

[pinkymum]

Just lurking ladies

I hated going overdue! to you all!

 

[midnight]

i was going to text everyone that had been asking any twinges ect the other day saying im nearly at the pushing stage then wait a while then send another out saying god i needed that poo i thought better not haha but it gave me a giggle thinking about doing it

 

[Mrs_B1981]

Sorry Treeze I'm still here had Internet problems yesterday and everytime I tried to post I lost connection! So I gave up and ate cake instead!
Zero twinges now, just a very active little one! Today I will be mostly tidying and shopping in preparation for 2moro. I'm actually getting excited more than nervous now!
How is everyone else?
I don't have a text buddy, will try and do a labour thread from the hospital

 

[treeze]

lol midnight!!!

hey mrs b! i know it's so close now eh? I repacked my hosp bag yesterday.. i think when you're going in to be induced you need to have a few more things incase it takes a little while... i think i'll pack a snack/drinks bag today too..

I can't wait..i got these bad pains in the night again (which i think are to do with position but they are very tight concentrated pains?) I was almost going to ring the hospital this morning and say "have you got any spaces for induction today?"!!!

So we are both being induced exactly 12 days over. I was induced 7 days over with Josie and she was born 10 days over... so i feel at least i've had an extra few days this time... I'm now the most pregnant i have ever been!!!

Ah good luck for tomorrow - really excited for you and i'll be checking on here right up til lunchtime Tuesday when i go in - hopefully you'll be holding baby by then! If not i'll check from hospital once i'm there!!!

 

[Mrs_B1981]

Goodluck to you aswell! I repacked Beans bag yesterday, doing mine today!
My parents are coming down 2moro to be 'around' as support, so I want the house spotless so mum can't nag me!
I'm thinking I'll pop on Tuesday but having never been pregnant/induced before I really don't know! You never know , we could deliver on the same day!

 

[riotfox]

I'm getting excited for both of you. I can't believe how much I hurt down there. Every time I move in bed or sit in a certain position it hurts. Maybe his head will just pop out lol. xx

 

[treeze]

in a way it's great knowing what day i'm going in... my sis is looking after Josie and staing ovenight regardless of if they send hubby home or not so that if anything happens in the night he can just whizz back up to the hospital. Hopefully things will happen quicker this time though and hopefully we'll get down to delivery suite on the Tuesday...

I'm meeting midwife at 1:30 on the ward so i'm guessing i'll have the 6 hour pessary (they don't give the 24 hour one to 2nd time mums) I reckon by the time they've done the pessary it will be 2:30 and then they don't check progress for 6 hours so that'll be 8pm and i guess depending on what stage i'm at then will decide whether hubby goes home at the end of visiting hours or stays with me. He'll probably pop home for a couple of hours to see Josie and get her off to bed anyway unless i'm in the throws of labour!

I'm thinking it will be more like Wednesday/Thursday that baby actually arrives so I'll become a June mummy!

 

[cherelle]

Treeze and Mrs B im excited for your inductions!! Maybe we will get 2 babies on the same day

No twinges or anything here - i reckon im gonna have to wait to be induced next week - getting very pissed off with him getting later and later! x

 

[riotfox]

I hope things go quick for you Treeze.

When will you be induced Cherelle? xx

 

[xx emma xx]

I'm actually starting to doubt if I'm actually pregnant.

My mum and bro have been on at me this morning. How annoying? My mum is coming in with us so she will be the first to know lol suppose it's just excitement about the first grandchild xx

 

[treeze]

lol emma- i ACTUALLY doubted whether i was or not this morning!!! I was reading my diary from last year and when i had done the pregnancy test etc and i completely forgot myself and thought "what if that test was wrong!!!" how silly! of course i'm pregnant!!!!

I was trying to work out what the latest i could have actuallly conceived was and i worked out it could have been as late as 1st or even 3rd September that conception actually took place...

Now, I read somewhere that the length of pregnancy is either 40 weeks from your last period or 38 weeks from conception.Well my periods used to be different every month... 28 days up to 34 days inbetween so they were a bit random. So I think that going from conception is probably more accurate. So if this is the case that would have made my due date the 26th or 28th May meaning that really I'm only actually 1 day overdue not 10!!!

I know at the growth scans etc they "date" you on the size of the baby but this must be based on an "average" size? But obviously to get to an "average" there must be babies who are bigger or smaller than the average to even have an "average" in the first place!!!!!

I think that's why baby is not here yet... and would also have made sense why Josie was late in my first pregnancy!!!

 

[xx emma xx]

I've read a lot of stuff about that as well treeze. My cycle was terrible and could be from 28 to 32 days so I kind of thought I would go overdue if this affects it. If it goes by conception then I think I would actually be due today so not too different. I don't get how people go 2 weeks early though if that's the case. I guess your body just decides when they want the baby out lol. I'm getting crampy stomach again today, it's really annoying!
I can't see me going into labour by myself, I reckon I will probably be induced. I can't actually imagine going into labour, as its now by my due date it all feels a bit surreal x

 

[Mrs_B1981]

If i didnt have a huge bump, raging heartburn and a child who insists on shoving his/her bum out of my tummy every five mins I would also question whether Im pregnant!
Repacked my hospital bag this evening.....full of food! Who needs clothes and stuff?! lol
Fingers crossed you'll get your induction date soon Cherelle

 

[cherelle]

I hope things go quick for you Treeze.

When will you be induced Cherelle? xx

They said i will get a date for induction on thursday if my sweep on wednesday doesnt work - hopefully for next weekend as they said they would try and get me in asap xx

 

[xx emma xx]

I think I will get my date for induction on thurs too. Hopefully we won't need it and will have had our babies by then xx

 

[cherelle]

Hopefully! I dont want to speak too soon but i feel like something might be happening today! x
