News post for Labour signs for 37 weeks +++ ladies

[Geordie&Bairn]

YAY!!! Lots of minging goo for me this morning and slight period pains!! I never thought i would be saying YAY and pains and goo !!

I have the MW this morning who said she would try a sweep but I still feel like my baby prob isn't engaged enough for it to do anything. I can feel Lo pushing down but her bum is sooooooooo high up-everyone keep saying 'your not gonna have that baby anytime soon!!!'

OH SOUNDS PROMISING
HOPE THIS MEANS YOUR NEXT AFTER THE 2 AMEGO INDUCTION LADIES

back from Midwife..it was a different one from the one I spoke to on the phone-she was nice but wouldn't do the sweep cos she said they only really do them when you are 1 week over. So it'll be my next appointment at 40+9. I hope I don't make it that far.

The good news is she thinks baby is nearly fully engaged...God knows how cos she still still soooooooohigh up???

Still having slight period pains but nothing major!

Hope you gets some signs soon sarafet.

 

[sarafet]

aww sarah thats rubbish about the sweep great news about baby being engaged though!!! the period pains are defo promising as well

i don't think you'll make it to your next appointment

 

[sarah2807]

Lots more goo for me today....it's sooooooo minging!! The period type pains are getting worse. I feel like I should be doing something to encourage things to keep happening but I feel really achy down below and don't really feel confident to go out walking or anything on my own.
Lots of Bh's last night but not painful....no contractions yet.

I hope things move along soon...I don't want this for another week!!!

What a rubbish MW I was offered one at my 40 wk appt with my son.

Sit there stimulating your nipples. After a while it should bring on contractions, as it sounds like that is what your body is wanting to do (I am being serious )

ive mentioned sorry it before but what broke my waters was a tip i got from 2 MW walk up and down the stars sideways
it worked for me

hope things are labouring up for you come on contractions get a going

 

[sarah2807]

Right I will try your suggestions girls!!!
I still feel the same-got a bit of energy back an hour ago and decided to go to the garden centre. I'm going to plant up some pots for the front of the house at least doing this I can keep moving but not be far away from home.

Fuffins you are right about the MW-I can't see a reason why she wouldn't try-she could at least have looked to see if I was ready...Oh well!!!!

Some MW are very stuck in there ways one of the MW who took one of my anti natal classes said she would never give and induction till you were a FULL 2 WEEKS OVER
shame yours is the same but as long as babies happy and healthy relish the added on extra time you have to your self I LOVE my Son WITH ALL MY HEART on but oh its lovely to have a bit of time for just me

I cant see why not im sure it would have the same effect

 

[sarafet]

sarah how are you feeling now?

wish i had some goo never thought i'd type that actually

 

[sarah2807]

Just the same hun. More goo and pains are the same.
Baby is really pushing down and hurting my bits tho!!!
I need things to start progressing now but don't feel like it will...come on baby!!!!!!

 

[fuffins1981]

Get rocking your hips, moving about a bit. Sit in dining room chairs, rather than slouching on a sofa (not suggesting you do lol)

I am only 36 weeks, but as they have thought for ages I am going to go early, and am being induced in 2 weeks, I want to be abke to talk about symptoms in here

I have a sweep next week. if it works I will have missed out on this thread So, I am hijacking it with my bits and bobs now

So, since yesterday I have had a pain on one side of my groin. It hurts to sit, stand or lie. Phoned hospital and midwife said it may be babies head engaging more.

Have been having a lot of tightenings. Doc was pleased last week that I have some strong tightenings. I think she hopes it starts my cervix, so the sweep should be able to happen next week. I hope it can

 

[abcd1234]

I feel left out with no "symptoms" to spot (damn i need a pouty smiley lol)

I keep having back pain, mixed with very mild period type cramps on an evening, but never during the day. And she's still catching my sciatic (sp ) nerve a lot and that hurts! I've also been getting more BH, but again its only on an evening.

I'm sure that when she does decide to make an appearance its gonna be after a LONG day and i'll be knackered!

 

[fuffins1981]

Just went to the loo after having some sharp pains. Had blood and goo...Will keep an eye on pains and see if anymore happens next time I go to the loo. If both continue, will call hospital.

 

[sarah2807]

Hi fuffins..welcome to labour spotting...it's nice to have some more company here. How are you this morning? From the signs you have it looks like you will definately have your LO early!

abcd123-my pains are always worse at night-I wonder why that happens-maybe it's cos Lo's are more active-I know mine is anyway.

Signs for me today-a bit more goo, but I think it's running out now!! surely there can't be anymore!!! I've had pains through the night and I'm still getting them this morning but I don't know if there contractions or braxton hicks. I haven't noticd BH's throughout my pregnancy-I think I may have had some painless ones.
The ones I have hurt-start at the top of my belly and then radiate down lasting about 30 secs. Not exactly sure how far apart they are-I should time them really. I'm thinking they might not be proper contractions cos I don't feel any pain in my back. Does anyone know?????

They hurt me but the apin is bearable-I'm guessing contractions might be more painful.

well....I shall keep ou all informed.

 

[Suzie and Faith]

My contractions started 4 days before baby appeared and the first ones really didn't hurt much - and i wasn't even sure what they were! Your belly will go hard during a contraction and it will peak in the middle.

I reckon things could be starting for you! i was 2cm when i was having mild contractions xxxx

 

[abcd1234]

Like babybee said i reckon they sound like early labour contrections.

My BH dont last long at all and arnt painful, jsut uncomfortable, cant quite get my head around saying this but i hope they keep coming for you!!
You may have your friday 13th baby after all

I had BH in bed last night, first time for that, and she feels lower so i think she's been engaging more on a negative note she's still constantly twisting and her back wont stay on the left!

 

[fuffins1981]

Hi ladies

Well, 40 mins after the goo and blood, went to the loo and had a little more blood.

There is no blood this morning and have only had mild pains.

Today my fingers are swollen. My ring can't fit...Makes me hand feel strange lol

I think you will have bubs soon Sarah

 

[fuffins1981]

I was right! Sarah just text me. 7cm dilated!
