Ate a whole pineapple last night and....

[VeryHungryKatypillar]

my waters went at 1.30 this morning!

DH very disappointed as he wanted to deliver some prostaglandin today...

Not in labour yet I don't think - have some crampy pains, sometimes strong, sometimes not which keep appearing and disappearing...

NB - did not eat pineapple whole, twas chunked obv.

goodness, how exciting
it will be kicking off soon
good luck

[BeeMyBaby]

your poor DH, he will have to wait for weeks and weeks now :P plus he doesn't get to be your knight in shining armour, the pineapple gets that honour...

[nannyl]

good luck

(and i love your comment on how you didnt eat it whole, and cut it into chunks.... just to clarify you didnt eat it whole lol

keep us posted!

[VeryHungryKatypillar]

Just back from hospital! VBAC succesfully completed thanks to brill midwives who were very encouraging, not a doctor in sight. Phew! And I credit rasberry leaf tea with getting DD2 out in three contractions, only 13 mins ish.

[nannyl]

fantastic.

congratulations and well done

at what point in pregnancy did you start on your raspberry leaf tea?

[VeryHungryKatypillar]

Thanks!! Started the rasberry leaf tea at about 37 weeks and probably only had 3 or so cups a day. But each time I had a cup it gave me loads more BH contractions so I reckon it definitely helped...

[HumphreyCobbler]

Congratulations.

[BeeMyBaby]

Congrats!

Started the thread expecting a long haul and it's over

Congratulations!

Am v though - still 5+weeks to go for me [sweaty, tired, fat person emoticon]

[VeryHungryKatypillar]

Thanks All! Yeah, sorry buttonmoon - if only I had a clever phone and the new talk app, this could have been a very long thread! If it helps, I am also tired and fat, just no longer have a baby bump as an excuse!!!

[buttonmoon78]

But I bet you aren't as hot as me!? And no one expects you to look like Jemima Khan at 2 days post baby!

I keep getting asked if I'm having twins!

How are you doing? Is your eldest dd excited?

[EggyAllenPoe]

Congratulations!!

that sounds lovely - (although i like pineapple with creme fraiche..yumy.)

[ipredicttrouble]

Congratulations! I'm 39+5 and fed up already so I may have to go and buy a pineapple tomorrow!

How far along were you when your waters went?

[CroissantNeuf]

I clicked on this expecting it to say ".....and all thats happened is I've done a huge poo".

Congratulations (on the baby that is, not the poo )

[VeryHungryKatypillar]

Thanks for the congrats everyone!

Button - didn't have much of a figure to recover, so no pressure there for me! Elder DD is being very good, keeps referring to 'my baby' and 'my Bethan' - is being a little challenging on the behaviour front and testing boundaries. But she is a great helper at 3 yo.
And I'm doing good - only a tiny tear and graze so not uncomfortable really, compared with late pregnancy it's a breeze! SPD still with me though but is better, must get round to doing those exercises!! Milk now in so feeling a bit busty to say the least...

Ipredicttrouble - waters went at 39 weeks (1.30 in morning of Sunday) and she was born at 11.18pm that day, had a show at 38+1 (greeny mucousy thing followed by more clear jelly stuff).

Hope you are all as comfortable as you can be at the moment...

I want mine it's too hot to be pregnant i want to wear my bikini and hot pants grrr i've tried curry sexy pinapple cod liver oil (recommended by mil) which i wonder if that might have worked as seem to be getting very mild contractions today hmmmm everybody cross fingers and toes lol
