I'm 37 wks and a few days.... I'm very uncomfortable! I wake up constantly to pee and I'm so tired and thirsty 😔 I also have an induction booked for 3 weeks if I don't have him on my own before then!

Dontwannabeabadmum · 15/12/2016 14:47

I'm 36+5 have an appt with consultant booked for 40+3 and have been told if I haven't gone by then they'll be booking my induction for that week. Also been told I can have a sweep from 38w. So fed up of being pregnant now!!

BonesyBones · 15/12/2016 14:52

I'm 37 weeks and 3 days and so ready to have the baby. Haven't seen my midwife since 27-ish weeks so don't have a clue what's going on really. 3rd baby but the pregnancy has been so different this time and I just seem to be feeling sorry for myself all the time

FizzBombBathTime · 15/12/2016 14:58

Hi yeah I'm 38+5 today! C section booked for next Wednesday

tilleuls · 15/12/2016 15:56

38 weeks today! So ready for this pregnancy to be over and to be able to walk properly again!

Dueindecember2016 · 15/12/2016 16:37

I'm 39 weeks tomorrow with a sweep booked in for next Friday. How many sweeps do they give you before you are induced? I'm hoping I'll only need one!

BonesyBones · 15/12/2016 19:37

Dueindecember I'm sure it varies by area, but with my last DC two years ago I was given 3 sweeps before I went into labour, between 40 weeks exactly and 40+10 when DS was born. A combination of the last sweep and laughing until it hurt at waynes world definitely brought it on I think!

Nikki2ol6 · 16/12/2016 07:10

My midwife has never mentioned a sweep! It's not my first baby but I have never had a sweep before how do you get one and at what stage? I see her next week and will be 38+5

SerialReJoiner · 16/12/2016 07:15

38+3! Getting to the point where every morning I wake up grumpy because I am still pregnant. Ugh!!

No plans or talk of induction. I have a home birth booked with my one-to-one midwife.

SpaceDinosaur · 16/12/2016 07:19

38+4

I've developed mild hypertension so have to keep going in for BP monitoring and blood tests. Most frustrating thing ever.

Dontwannabeabadmum · 16/12/2016 10:53

36+6 and just feel sick and dizzy all the time now. My BP is normal so I know there's no problem but by God it's annoying!

I'm hoping that with my 38w mw appt being at 37+3 that she'll either do a sweep then or get me in any clinic she can for the earliest date possible!! Which because of Xmas will be 38+4!!!

ElliemackB · 16/12/2016 13:04

37+2 with my first baby and finally on maternity leave. Everything aches a bit and the heartburn is driving me crazy but I'm quite enjoying a bit of quiet time now. However I just can't wait to meet this little one and am hoping not to go overdue xx

Princesspinkgirl · 16/12/2016 16:11

It's tough work being this pregnant eh girls no intervention here till 41 weeks and that's just a sweep hopefully this pregnancy won't last that long I've had enough already lol

38+4 and so fed up with waiting for this baby to come! I just want her either here a few dats before Christmas or a few days after.... so I can enjoy it with my other children. I just wish I knew when she was coming!

Been walking loads and ate half a pineapple today!

Nikki2ol6 · 16/12/2016 16:48

Pineapple gives me the worst ever heart burn! I walk loads too. I may do some dancing at The Christmas party

Dontwannabeabadmum · 16/12/2016 17:11

Iv done nearly 5 hours of walking today!! I'm hoping that it's gonna do something!!!

Starlight85 · 17/12/2016 00:10

I'm 37+2 with my first baby. Currently being monitored every other day due to a growth scan on Monday showing the baby is now on the bottom centile line. Have another scan booked for Monday and then 28th. I feel so ready for her to be out now with all the extra worry along with the tiredness and uncomfortableness!

Princesspinkgirl · 17/12/2016 17:38

Dontwannabeabadmum good luck hope it works for you

Princesspinkgirl · 17/12/2016 17:41

Alwayswaiting I know the feeling I wish I knew when this little lady was coming to I'm thinking that she's far to comfortable in there I went normal food shopping today and it was torture felt awful the whole time just want this baby out i hope someone on this thread is lucky enough for things to start moving sooner rather than later

I bought raspberry leaf tea today and have a curry for dinner. Come on girls!!! We need to all have positive thoughts!!

SerialReJoiner · 17/12/2016 18:45

Am sniffing Clary sage oil right now, much to dh's dismay. The timing isn't great with Christmas coming up, but I am sick of being pregnant. So Very Done.

SpaceDinosaur · 18/12/2016 00:22

I can't walk for miles because I puff up. It's so so frustrating.

Bouncing on the ball.
Drinking raspberry leaf
"Jumping" poor DH (although right now it's closer to a walrus dragging itself on land!)

Tomorrow is curry day but I've had an upset stomach for 3 freaking days already and it's done nothing GODDAMMIT!!!

Iv had a couple of little smudges of browny bloody marks in my pants today and any kind of standing makes if feel like bubbas head is gonna come out and had a little bit of backaxhe/period pains that are sort of going up and down bump and thighs but they're nothing particularly painful just there
