Poor you - I was sure there were going to be some overnight developments for you. I remain optimistic that it'll happen for both of us before induction - I'm just holding on at the moment to keep you company!
 
Haha, you holding on is very much appreciated :)

Im just getting annoyed because I know my body is doing everything right, its just a little bit slower than everyone elses. The heads down, my plug is coming away in big gloops, Im getting strong tightenings (just randomly) and back ache, everything is favourable and soft and Im even about 2cms. Why must I be so lazy and do everything at my own pace! lol.
 
I am much the same - there is no physical reason why this baby shouldn't have been born by now. I can only think it is because we are both going to have very placid, laid back babies :)
 
:D Theyre going to sleep through the night from the beginning and just sit and smile (whether wind realted or not) at us all day and its going to be lush!

OR! We've somehow spawned the devil children and theyre going to make us wait, then when they come out scream at us because they were quite happy where they were lol.

Just keep thinking to yourself.....this time next week. We WILL be holding our babies :D I went to bed last night, and thought to myself 'this is the last friday night Ill have has a pregnant woman'...it was wierd.
 
Placid, laid back babies sound good to me!

I still think you'll have her without needing the induction, there's time yet!!

Click to expand...

I'm definitely going with your first option!

I like the way you think - v. cool to think that this is also the last saturday morning we will be logging in to pf whilst still pregnant (think oh is going to get very sick of me reminding him of all the "last time as a pregnant woman" things this week!) xxx
 
Inky - I like your train of thought...Im still keeping my spirits up and thinking oh it'll happen before then, but the idea of knowing when Ill be going in and being able to plan isn't actually that bad. Just the artificially starting it all off Im not keen on lol.

Kiwi - Im using my last saturday of only being responsible for myself to shop :) But also hoover every last spec of cat hair off the pram and get it set up (using it as a crib in the lounge as well) and make sure everythings ready. I am liking having the extra time to get things finished off. See!! We can see the positives in everything!
 
Does that mean there are no more signs yet for you Melio? I've re washed babes bedding again and have been keeping house extra tidy - and have chilled out about babe coming and am just going to enjoy extra quite time with children - had a late film last night and went for a walk today and spoilt them with ice cream and other bits.
 
:yay: yay for positive thinking!! Ive just given up, Ive actually slipped into denial that its ever gonna happen. My aunt today said it could be tonight and I actually laughed and then thought, oh hang on yes it could couldnt it!
 
Well...I have had signs...but like...Ive given up on them lol. I keep getting irregular back ache/contractions. Im also getting quite intense cramp which will take my breath away occassionally. Plug is still coming away but still no blood in it.

Ive decided my body knows exactly what it needs to do...but it cant be f**ked to do it lol. Even FOB text me today and said 'so.....still pregnant then?' As much as hes petrified of becoming a father...i think even he's getting impatient now! lol.

I did however buy myself a nice jacket and scarf from H&M and so feel all happy now. Cant beat a bit of shopping. Evajo...you just get used to being over due dont you? Or at least, thats how i feel. They given you an induction date? Tiny - babys got 3 days left...get doing those squats!!
 
does your plug have to have blood in it? I didnt know that, actually I dont know much about the plug at all. Other than the midwife was saying what it was made of and Im sure one of the things she said was hair. And then I wondered, if your baby had black hair, would you see some of it in the plug?? That would be exciting....
 
Well Im not sure...I just assumed because everyone goes on about having your 'bloody show'. Also alot of peoples plugs can come away for weeks on end and nothing comes of it. I never really knew much about it and always thought, but what if you miss it? Yeah...it cant be missed lol. It proper looks like snot when youve got a running nose. Even that lovely greeny tinge :puke:
 
niiiiice, Ive been hoping Ive just missed it and it happened weeks ago. Wishful thinking eh?!

Had a massive night sweat last night, I woke up soaking and thought "wooo! my waters....hang on, why are my arms wet? Dammit!" :wall:
 
Apparently though hot flushes are a good sign :thumbup: So your body may well be getting ready. Cant believe Im almost 11 days overdue...its laughable really!

Once again, Im getting pissed off with peoples comments. My sister is like 'well if the average baby is around 8lb.....yours is going to be at least 8 and a half'...errr...no! My dates could be wrong, she might just be small...its hit and miss. Dont tell someone peed off with being so overdue that theyre now going to have a giant baby flying out their foof...how would that help?!
 
:rofl: Im sure your baby wont be a giant... :hug:

people do say the most annoying things. My mum keeps saying, oh you'll go overdue, I snapped at her today about it :whistle:

She said she thought it would help cos if he arrives on time it will be a pleasant surprise. I told her it made me want to cry everytime she said it, and I dont want to be depressed the whole time on the off chance ill be pleasantly surprised!! :roll:
 
I feel so sorry for you girls going over :oooo:
I've always been late and you do tend to think its actually never going to happen. Youre all so upbeat and positive, bless you.
really hope those babies start appearing soon. xxx
 
Well my baby will be appearing soon whether she likes it or not. She seems quite happy where she is...and I feel bad making her come out when her little bum swishing around looks so happy each day...but quite frankly...Id like to know what she looks like now. :) She has 4 days to swish as much as she likes! Then its out. Eviction notice SERVED!

Awww bless her...shes trying the old sods law theory. But its true...think youll go overdue and you will be pleasently surprised. But then (I dont wish this for you) if your like me...youll be unpleasently unsuprised everyday for 2 weeks!
 
Lol trying to do the simpilist things brings comments from peps - but i do laugh them off - i saw a freind whilst shopping today and she took one look at me and said i am not going to say anything!!! No induction date - was told would be induced if wanted at 10 days but can refuse - once i get to 14 i have to go to city hospital here i had my first - although care during birth is great after care was non existence and obviously with a home birth planned i want to avoid at all costs! So sweep tomorrow and then wed and i'll take it from there! When is your next sweep Melio - do you have one b4 induction?
 
Well Im a bit hacked off with my care over the last week. I booked my normal appointment for 40+1 so I could get a sweep and then they said there was no clinic the next thursday so had my other one at 40+6. I didnt expect these to work because in fairness, I wasnt that overdue. So I asked for another at my last appointment and it seems this weekend there were no community midwives working and since last week my doctors have only had one midwife working due to holidays. So I havnt been told the time of my induction, they just said they'd book it for wednesday and contact me. I couldnt be offered a sweep because they couldnt fit me in, but she said she MIGHT be able to fit me in tomorrow, and if not, then Ill be seen tuesday. But...if they havnt contacted me about my induction...whos to say they wont forget me and I wont even get an appointment tuesday.

I thought that once you go overdue theyd want to keep an eye on you. At my last appointment my blood pressure had gone up from 100/60 to 120/70, which isnt high, but its an increase from my normal blood pressure...so leaving me to go another week overdue with no care inbetween just because they let their midwives go on holiday all at once...seems a bit unfair.

Sorry...that was a rant lol. I think today might be a moody fed up day!
