Sorry the scan didn't go as planned Tessa but at least you're getting monitored. Hopefully you'll feel more prepared next week after consultants appointment. I'm up and ready to try and get this heartburn sorted and my blood pressure checked, I keep getting glittery lights in my eyes, but no other pe symptoms.

On the plus only two more shifts at work! So I'll be done next Monday night. Feel ready to have some time to myself without having to drive to work and back.

Enjoy your days ladies, sounds like we've got a couple of candidate s for early deliveries xx

So h are we crossing our fingers that this may be the start of things? How is ruby now? It is so hard work when they are ill, especially when heavily pregnant and up through the night! We were going to go to my dads today for a sleep over but he has a bad cold and so I am being a woss and not going. Normally wouldn't bother me but don't think its the time for either Belle or I to get a cold, especially when I may be popping into hospital a few times over the next week.

Ramsay how about you? Are you hoping this is it? Sounds like a horrible combination of symptoms, especially the sickness.

I am feeling much more positive today. Got my head around the fact that another induction may be on the cards and am going to console myself with pain relief options!! If in the midwife led unit I was going for a water birth with gas and air. Pethadine is also an option there but you have to get out of the pool. If I am induced water won't be possible anyway so I am not going to be a hero and do it naturally ~ done that once and it wasn't fun! Will aim for pethadine, but if I want an epidural at the time I am happy to take it. Just gonna enjoy the next week with Belle and then be open to options come next Wednesday. May however get on the raspberry leaf tea, pineapple, sex etc as then maybe I can bring things on myself before then? Full term from tomorrow anyway. What else should I try? To be honest don't expect it to work as don't feel I am near at the minute x

 

[Ramsey91]

You're the same due date as me aren't you Mary poppins?
I'm the same in just glad im reaching the 37 weeks so would be happy any time from now to be honest I don't want it to be another 3+ weeks of niggles & nothing coming from it.
Although when I was in hospital they think that if there is any other signs at my midwife tomorrow they will consider inducing me again, I was a bit disheartened about the thought of induction again too. I haven't planned water birth etc , but that's cause I didn't want to set my heart on it, but not planning any more children and as I was induced last time I kinda of wanted the excitement and anxiety of going into labour spontaneously in some weird kind of way.
I'm a very big wimp when it comes to taken medicines etc so I like to think I'll cope with as little as possible because I'm a woss at taking anything and especially needles BUT what happens happens I guess.
I'm a bit emotional as my little girl has her settling in T school nursery, not sure I'm prepared for this today.
I'm the same and thinking on starting a few of the 'tricks' see if anything happens for me.
I'm just getting too impatient this time round! ️Xxx

 

[hayes]

I felt just the same ladies I really didn't want to b induced again I wanted the spontaneous Labour n the am I aren't I in Labour thoughts but now I'm happy I have a date. Will b easier with Harry to plan it n will kinda no what is guna happen this time etc. At the end of the day tho we cud all go anytime so can still symptom spot n hope!! May get my home birth yet!!

Asked the mw yesterday n she recommended the arnica tablets n tea tree oil in the bath. Have got sum tablets but do I take them before or just after???

[Kelly450]

Tessa, I'm glad you are feeling positive. At the end of the day, whatever happens, happens and it's best to be positive about it

H, hope your okay? Baby coming soon then Yeh? :-D

Michelle, I'm the same. The pain is so back. Once asleep I sleep well but when I wake, moving is so painful. I actually got up last night for a wee for the first time in weeks and had to use all the walls to support me as the pain was so bad!

I'm worried that this pain will make labour harder this time x

 

[Kelly450]

Anybody not for a bump buddy yet? I've nobody to text when it all starts to happen xx

 

[Ramsey91]

Yeah that's true Michelle I guess having a date is much useful especially having the little ones like you say. I wouldn't be too bothered by it think I've had a false labour now so kinda had the excitement but already just a disappointing ending haha.
Oh I have no idea about the tablets so can't help there sorry, ah you may just get your home birth then, go you!
Watch all these little Cheeky babies be late after all this! ️Xx

 

[summer15]

Tessa sorry you are feeling a little deflated by your scan results. Glad she started moving lots to reassure you. Did you have similar scans etc with Belle on account of her being small?

H and Ramsey - sorry you are still feeling poorly, is it like first tri morning sickness feeling? I didn't realise that came back before labour?! Still if it's a sign of things progressing then can only be a good thing - do hope you feel better soon though.

Kelly - I don't have a bump buddy either, only trouble is our due dates are 1 day apart so we could well be going through it at same/similar time I'll pm you my number anyway ...

Xxx

 

[Bunny432]

Thank you H & Tessa! Completely agree it's state of mind so telling myself every night before bed that I'm ready for her arrival whilst falling asleep to some hypnobirthing music - hope this helps, may sound a bit out there to some people haha.

Baby sitting my 2 nieces today and got MW at 2 - excited to see what she says! Everyone else up too much?

Tessa I completely get why you're feeling like you do - the not knowing scares me I would feel the exact same. So glad LO moved more yesterday that must have helped settle your mind.

Oooooo the early labour list is getting bigger! Good luck all - hope this is the start of things for you all. Do hope H & Ramsey feel better soon tho - I had the nausea last week and thought something was starting.

Xxxxx

 

[Mary Poppins]

Totally Ramsay and Michelle, missing out on the symptom spotting etc is disappointing. However there are the upsides of not going overdue, sorting childcare, ensuring hubby is here etc. Yes summer had 2 growth scans in last few weeks with belle but they didn't act on them at all, I was induced with her because I started bleeding in early labour and they weren't sure where it was coming from. After a weekend of niggles bloody typical that I have felt really good the last few days, no signs of things gearing up at all! Am just going to make sure I enjoy this week with my girlie! Summer and kelly I am bump buddies with Michelle, but happy to be either of your back up if you want one in case you pop at the same time! X

 

[Kelly450]

Summer, chances are we will be Atleast a few days apart. But, if nobody hears from us both then we will probably be gone in at the same time

Hope your app goes well today Bunny! Possibly your last! Xx

 

[Kelly450]

Maybe you feel better as baby is going a bit nicer on you before arrival xx

 

[Kelly450]

Really suffering with the headaches at the moment. Anyone else? X

 

[Mary Poppins]

Kelly my back ached when I was pregnant last time and I used those heat pads. They were great as you can stick on clothes and then carry on with whatever you are doing, unlike a hot water bottle! X

 

[hayes]

Not suffering with headaches but mw always asks if I am so do get checked out Kelly if u keep getting them better safe than sorry I always say!! Esp now we r all so close to the end.

Feeling so lazy Harry's at nursery n all u have done is the washing up n online shopping!! Have a real urge to 're pack my bag n check Harry's again!!

Michelle.x

 

[H16]

Hope you get some decent sleep soon Michelle, being heavily pregnant with a toddler to look after plus interrupted sleep and pain is no fun!

Ramsey, I am definitely knackered hun but I will live We really are symptom twins at mo - literally having exactly same as you at the moment. Nausea really eased up now but still really crampy and getting a bit of lower back ache today too. Still losing very tiny amounts of plug. Hope this isn't going to turn into a long drawn out 4 weeks of this until due date though lol.

Enjoy your last couple of days of work Doll_Eyes, sounds like a rest will be well deserved come maternity leave

Tessa, I am quite happy if I have baby sometime in next couple of weeks but don't mind going full term if these symptoms ease off, don't fancy constant period type pains etc for a full 4 - 6 weeks :/
Ruby is feeling really sorry for herself today so she is quite stroppy but can't blame her. she is knackered bless her as she keeps waking up during naps etc with a runny nose. Got to go to midwife appointment tomorrow but other than that I will try and keep her in the warm for few days and hopefully it will pass quickly.

I love pethidine! I am planning on asking for it lol. I have been pestering OH for sex to try and kick things off but apparently clambering all over his unborn child isn't doing it for him, go figure! lol

Kelly, really hope the pain eases off for you soon, it really isn't fun when you are in agony bless ya.

Summer - yeah it was like first tri nausea but luckily it has pretty much gone today, I don't mind nausea if I can be sick and get it out of system but this is the worst!

Bunny - hope you MW appointment goes well today hun

 

[Kelly450]

It's more a niggling headache than severe. I know bad headaches aren't good.
I've been quite lazy too actually. Haven't washed up from breakfast yet and just doing lunch now which is technically dinner for us today as OH starts work at 3 so ill do lunch for dinner for me and Joshy!
Hope ruby feels well soon H! Alot of you have apps this week. I've got my whooping cough tomorrow but that is All.

I'm not in the mood for sex at all lol! And with the pain I'm in, OH has to do all the hard work lol! I'm sure we will try soon again as it's been over a week now haha x

 

[Bunny432]

Just waiting for midwife now - having really painful period pains constantly since about 12! Hope little miss has moved from back to back - I'll keep you posted.

H hope the pains ease off for you, I don't think I could hack that feeling for weeks, starting to remember what a period felt like haha!

Hope your headaches ease off Kelly !

Xxxx

 

[Bunny432]

Midwife's just left, she's not seeing me again till 1st September so fingers crossed we'll have our baby by then. Was a brilliant app, measuring perfect for how many weeks I am, baby is fully engaged and she's turned - not completely but she's not longer fully back to back so I have full confidence she's going to move. Midwife said all my symptoms are pointing towards labour & are all good signs. Explains why I've been having lots of pains with baby's head being engaged. Obviously I could still go over - it's all up to little miss but all looks good. I feel so ready so hope because I feel mentally prepared and excited that'll help xxxxxx

 

[Kelly450]

Woop! great news xx
