Congratulations hairtwiddler !

1mum1 - I'm 38+5 and keep wanting to burst into tears for no real reason, so I think that hormones are stepping up a gear.

Does anyone else feel quite sick a lot of the time? Maybe it's just the old bending over problem.

Congratulations hairtwiddler!

I'm 38 plus 2 - anyone else having premenstrual type grumpiness/stress? Maybe it's just impatience but I really have the hump for no reason!!

congratulations Hartwiddler!!

Update - he's arrived! 39+3, born in our own bedroom after three hour labour. It was just perfect. 8lb 7oz.
Will try to post home birth story at some point. In the meantime, hoping he wakes up again soon so I can feed and snooze!

Yes, big big teaching place. Great if you have a complicated pregnancy and one of the best in the country. I'm having a home birth because I'm lucky enough to be low risk and I know I would be left to my own devices there anyway!
We're all making steady progress it seems. This thread will need a new title soon!

Sounds like a rum experience hairtwiddler, is it one of the big teaching hospitals ? Maybe rural isolation isn't so bad after all. We don't have posh coffee but our hospital never feels as nuts as yours sounds.

Happy Due Day Bubbaloo2, hope something happens soon .

I'm 38+4 today and ds (nearly 3) managed to kick me very hard in the tummy this afternoon. Quite painful, but no contractions or bleeding so a nice quiet evening planned and keeping fingers crossed that no damage done.

Nearly finished my Christmas shopping online last night (just waiting on John Lewis getting some new stock in) and I'll fit the car seat tomorrow, so feeling pretty ready now.

Ooh, good luck bubbaloo, and thanks for support!
I'm having a quiet day, absolutely nothing to report. Been trying to get hold of community midwife all day to debrief re: yesterday but to no avail. Thinking of calling gp.

Hairtwiddler hugs for you... that sounds very stressful. Things must be happening for you soon! I looked at the size of my belly today and I nearly cried I look so huge! I know how you feel.

Its my due date today... never thought I would get to 40 weeks but here I am and I have had a show!!!!! . However lower back is throbbing... must be the back to back thing so going to get on all fours now etc.

Well tomorrow is the day - low fluid again so induction booked for tomorrow!!!! A bit shell shocked as all ok last week but same happened with ds and dd so not unexpected!!!
