How are you feeling SCL? Best of luck for tomorrow! Xxx

 

[MrsB2105]

It wasn't too bad, Liam was at his grandads which is normal for a Friday

Good luck tomorrow SCL

Managed a day with 2 babies on my own though - so I'm rather impressed with myself

Any twinges on your end Naomi? X

 

[SiameseCatLady]

Thank you.
Slightly concerned they will tell me they're too busy, but hopefully not!
PMA!
See you all on the other side I hope! Xx

I am very nervous to be honest! Slightly concerns me that it's more painful than natural labour, but other than that, I am excited that I will soon see my baby!
I will tell you all the good things about it before Monday, Naomi and nothing negative!
Having frequent Braxton Hicks... Wonder if I could still manage it!
Wishful thinking...
Hope you're gearing up and feeling ok too, Naomi xxxxxx

 

[naomi88]

Looking forward to hearing about baby's safe arrival!!

Well done you Caroline for managing with the two on your own! First day done and it's the weekend now, so does that mean your OH will be around?

Bit of cramping still but not much else to report here. Just had a hot curry for tea and am going to do some bouncing in a bit! Xxx

Aw thanks lovely - would definitely appreciate a debrief so I know a bit more about what to expect! I'm a bit nervous too about the pain but I think best thing is just to go with the flow! Exciting about the BH - who knows it could still all kick off tonight! Xxx

 

[Rubyredslipper]

Glad everyone is doing ok with their babies!

Still nothing for me, 2 days over which I know isn't a lot but I'm getting so bored now! MW couldn't do sweep as cervix is closed. She said she will try again on Monday. She keeps telling me to walk, so I walked round to the pub with my OH which is a minutes non pregnant walk away and was knackered/aching!

Ooh get bouncing it could trigger something

And yes he is off for the weekend x

 

[naomi88]

Yay for having him with you for the weekend

Aw RRS is it your first, I've forgotten? I was 10 days over with millie and I went completely stir crazy haha! Hopefully your cervix will open up soon - things can change very quickly so just because it's not open now doesn't necessarily mean you'll be waiting a lot longer xxx

Yes this is my first. I'm trying not to get too impatient but the novelty of being home alone has totally worn off now! The shops are just too far to walk to. Fingers crossed it will, I've got a post date appointment on Thursday and MW said they will book me in for induction

 

[naomi88]

Aw hopefully it won't come to induction - lots of people I know went overdue and then things happened naturally a day or two before the induction. I'm pretty sure the average woman goes over by 5 days or something like that for first pregnancy so hopefully it'll happen around about then! Xxx

 

[MrsB2105]

I went over 5 days with my first x

 

[SiameseCatLady]

We shall see!
Feel free to ask questions and will so my best to answer them.
Come on Baby B...
Come on Baby Naomi...
Come on everyone else's babies!

 

[naomi88]

Eeek not long now! Hope you get some sleep tonight xxx

Evening ladies, just been catching up

Has anyone got any tips for swollen feet? I went back to work this week after the summer hols for 2 weeks and my feet have just ballooned! Saw the MW on Tue who checked protein, BP etc and said I was 4/5 engaged which is good but my feet, Owcch!!

Lovely to see Sept babies arriving, I've still got 2 more weeks so will most likely be one of the last to deliver xx

 

[sansk]

SCL best of luck tomorrow xx

Bobby I have the swollen feet too of and on I raise them above heart level and get the OH to rub some cream in which feels lovely and massage up towards knees kind of relieves the pressure xx

 

[Bobby23]

Thanks Sansk, I'll talk the OH into doing that tomorrow, I'm hoping 2 days off my feet will help! I can't moan as I've had a stress free pregnancy so far, but I am hoping they will go down a little.

One more week at work, counting down now! Xx

 

[SiameseCatLady]

Thanks everyone. In hospital now already. You won't believe it, but they are pretty sure Baby B has gone bum down.
Scan and c section, we're thinking! ��

 

[naomi88]

Oh no you're kidding?!!! Naughty baby!!!!! Hope however it happens it happens for you soon!!!

Bobby hope your last week in work goes quickly! Xxx
