Morning girls We have a serious baby drought here at the moment. One of us has to pop soon - I'm tired of waiting now!

Nothing to report here. I had a really good night's sleep which was LOVELY, best nights sleep I've had in a long time. My mum (with her never ending wisdom) also believes this is a sign When I don't sleep well that means I'm niggly and the baby could be coming, and when I do sleep well it means my body is resting in preparation for the big event Well...she's got to come at some point, so my mum will be right somewhere along the line and that will please her!

As far as doing things to get this baby out, OH and I, ahem, induced twice yesterday but it doesn't seem to be working yet So may have to try again today. I am going to try some more bouncing on my ball, and I had pineapple with my breakfast yet again. I've been having a bath with blue radox every day (it has clary sage in, but probably minimal amounts!) but it's all worth a try eh???

It's my due date tomorrow, and I'm going to celebrate with a glass of champagne (well, not proper champagne cos I can't afford that, but I have some JP Chenet sparkling wine so I'm going to drink that!) because my MW suggested pineapple and champagne. And I might have another curry!

Hi girls

I lost a bit more of my plug this morning! Was only a tiny bit though, wondering how much more there is too lose, it only comes away in tiny little bits and the last time it happened was almost 3 weeks ago now! Also been having quite a few really strong BH and I'm just generally uncomfortable with all the pressure. Don't think anything is going to happen any time soon!
Come on girls, where are your babies?! One of us needs to pop, need some excitement!

 

[aramintalovegrove]

Kerry mac did it, common girls lets have a few more!

Claire I had a fab nights sleep too and the best day for a long while today I hope its a sign!!! huge congrats on DD tomorrow

We Bd'd this morning and I had a massive pain followed by a plug clear out about 30 mins later but nothing since, grrr.

Lauren these last few weeks drag soo soo much dont they?

 

[prickleyfairy]

Well i'm past my due date now and nothing is happening....did go out for a hot curry last night, but thats done nothing apart from giving me a bad gut this morning. Looks like its going to be another warm day, so going to go for a long walk with the dog, and maybe have some bedtime fun later?!

aramintalovegrove and Lauran......yay for losing some more plug!!! I can't wait to lose mine-at least it will be a sign that something is starting!

Happy due date clairey, hope baby decides to arrive today!!! Oh and enjoy your champagne!!

MagicMarkers....hope your back ache is a sign of things to come?!!!

 

[claireyfairey]

Morning girls

Happy due date to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Come on baby, the buzzers gone off on the oven, you are fully cooked and you must come out now!!!

Kerrymac did it???? I missed that one! I shall go and search through the threads in a bit and give her a piece of my mind! Just kidding

prickleyfairey and aramintalovegrove: Thanks girlies Surely it must be our turn soon!

Well, this may be TMI for some but I must share it with you girls! A couple of times last night I thought my waters had broken as I felt a bit...damp down there. It turned out to be just normal discharge but there was a ton of it. This morning I got out of bed and there was so much of it my thighs were almost, uhm, dripping And then, when I went to the loo there was some clear slimy stuff, similar consistency to hair gel...not sure what this is but maybe it is plug related...? Anyone know? Sorry for the grossness of that!

I slept really badly last night too...was up for most of the night which sucked So I sort of hope baby doesn't come today because I am knackered! Oh well, back to the pineapple munching...

I'm barging in a day or two early (I'm not 37 weeks until tuesday....sorry) but just wanted to say that Clairey.....that definately sounds like it could be your plug, hopefully today is your day

 

[kerryp]

clairey... that sound slike what my MW said was my plug... bit like clear handsoap/hairgel ive been loosing loads of the stuff for 3 weeks now with only a few days off where i think it must have "reformed" or something.
Happy due date by the way
Ive now decided that this isnt going to happen naturally for me & have made sure my LO's hospital bag has more stuff in it now, will repack mine with more stuff in it tomorrow while OH is at work. We only had minimal stuff in before as were hoping for natural home birth but thats what you get for making plans!!!

 

[claireyfairey]

Chrissy1 and kerryp: Sounds promising then! I've just been googling mucous plug and some sites have described it as looking like raw egg white, and that's exactly what it looked like infact. Other sites are saying that your plug can come away in the form of increased vaginal discharge too, and that sounds exactly like what I'm experiencing. Yay for my ripening cervix, woohoo!!!

[vickyxoxo]

Morning, nothing much happeneing here, did think things felt bit diffrent this morning but think i'm just looking too hard now!!!
getting fed up waiting too, even though only couple of days over.
Got MW at 2.30 dont know what to do if she asks if i want another sweep cause it really bloody hurt last time, but if she doesn't i wont know whether i'm any more dilated so cant win on that one really!!
Sounds silly but i really wanted a september baby and the clock is really ticking now. Just sounds more summery than october lol.

Hope its not long for you skyraa xx

Morning ladies....

I'm 37 weeks today so do you mind if I join you in here to become a fully fledged symptom spotter??

I've not really had any signs of proper labour yet, I do keep getting a lot of BH's and they are getting stronger but not at all painful. I do keep examining the paper for any sign of my plug every time I go the loo but nothing yet!!!

My bean is measuring a bit big (2 weeks too big) and has been since about 24 weeks so I've got to go for a growth scan to check the actual size of the baby soon, depends on when my MW can be arsed to pull her finger out and do something for me!! As well as that I'm hoping to have a homebirth and I have everything ready, although that's mainly down to Sherlock's thread about what I need to get ready because the MW hasn't told me anything!!

Hoping we all have our babies soon

 

[prickleyfairy]

It's so exciting about Clairey....i'm even more impatient now and want my baby out. I've been having lots of BH but no pain with them.....seeing the midman Friday and hoping for a sweep although i really want something to happen before then.

 

[skyraaa]

looks like vicky, prickleyfairy and me are havin october babies
i think u get it into ur head that u r gonna have a sept baby and it pisses u off being overdue lol

im sending us lots of labour dust

COME ON BABIES GET OUT NOW

 

[prickleyfairy]

Well its going to be an October baby now, which i don't mind i was born in october!!

I did have some period pains last night, and a load of BH....thought something could be happening....but nothing. Feeling fed up today, this baby just dont want to come out. Going aqua natal tonight, hopefully the bouncing about in the water will get something moving?!

How is everyone this morning??

[kerryp]

i only realised today that baby will now be an october baby... not bad for one that was due on 21st sept!!
I had a sweep on monday which has made me have better "shows" since rather than the gunk i was having before... it has also made baby move down even further (if thats possible when its been fully engaged for 3 weeks, but mw said its got even closer today when she checked me). Im having another examination/sweep tomorrow as well. Good job i didnt have it last night (after horrendous attacks of backache which apparently were the baby moving further down) as ive got a home birth planned & they were already out with someone ive now found out... she was term+14 so there is hope for me yet at term+10 today I SO want this baby to prove my consultant wrong & come on its own, especially now ive postponed my induction to saturday (t+13).

Hope everyone else is ok.

xx

 

[aramintalovegrove]

Oh I hope you september babies get a move on.

I dont know why but I have a feeling i may go into labour tomorrow

Good luck to all my fellow ladies to be induced in the next few days
