Thanks for the excited replies to my news ladies, makes me even more excited haha! Baby is 3/5 engaged in the correct position now so I am pleased he is not back to back like Ruby was although as we know babies like to change it up until last minute so just hope he behaves himself! Was my last appointment with midwife today unless I go overdue which she said is highly unlikely due to all my labour signs. She scheduled me in for an appointment with GP in 2 weeks but doesn't think I have any chance of making it that far either so she doubts I would even need a discussion on induction. Baby extremely quiet today compared to normal which is exactly what happened with Ruby 2 days before labour started and midwife actually commented on it to me today saying all my cramping, nausea, contractions, pressure etc plus his lack of movements makes her think it may be this weekend but we shall see! Was funny as I had a contraction whilst she was trying to measure me and she had to wait for it to stop before she could carry on as apparently contractions make you measure bigger lol. Been getting a lot of painless contractions today at one point there were every 12 mins but very odd that they were painless as I always get pain with BH! I have demanded OH has sex with me tonight to get my cervix softened up hahaha, he reluctantly agreed!
Maybe I will just have sex on the birthing ball whilst drinking RLT, maybe the trick to all these old wives tales is to do them all at once?! Will keep you posted
lol!
After my appointment this morning I went into town and bought some nice comfy new clothes for hospital bag as getting annoyed at myself as I keep wearing the clothes in my bag. Happy to say it is now nicely packed and ready in preparation and I will not be wearing the new clothes until I go to hospital lol.
Bunny your friends baby is a cutie, that was a nice message to wake up to
Pain and pressure although unpleasant is a really good sign hun, hope things kick off for you soon
Car crashes are scary at best of times never mind when you are pregnant, glad to hear you are ok hun! Period pains are definitely a sign hun, had them for 2 weeks on and off before I had Ruby and having them again this week with little man
Michelle, I saw the pics of your little boy meeting your friends baby on facebook - soooo cute! Does it make you more excited for him to meet his sibling?
12 days is insanely close! Can't believe we are all so close to having new little people in our lives! Crazy! I hope your pain goes soon hun x
Summer, I can see why traveling to London would stress you out, it is a bloody traffic nightmare! Sounds like a nice day is planned though and if you won't see your friend for quite a while it may be worth the stress. Tough choice though. Enjoy the christening too
Gilly, that sounds like a lovely weekend, enjoy it! Hope you get the formula situation sorted, what a nightmare!
Awww Kelly, babies love coming at the most inconvenient times, just plan to do something really exciting and she will appear lol. Unless I have baby in next 15 mins he won't arrive tonight sadly lol. Hope the pain eases up for you hun, sounds like you are really suffering this week bless ya x
Tessa, yay for the tea and primrose oil causing tightenings etc, hopefully it will help kick things off for you
I know what you mean about feeling "open" apparently you are perm 1cm dilated after having your first baby though so will never have to start from 0 again so might explain it?
Doll_eyes, pleased you can try a water birth hun, brilliant news. Also great news about being fully engaged! Not long now!
Purple, I'm sorry hun, would love to stay due date buddies so try and go into labour a bit early as I don't want to wait too long haha.
xx
