Pregnancy

Strong BHs, suddenly loads of colostum appearing, backache and I've booked my shopping to be delivered on Thursday, my due date. Do you think I've tempted fate enough?

MamaG · 27/10/2008 15:36

I know its wishful thinking

MerlinsBeard · 27/10/2008 15:38

can you even see your legs? i couldn't when i was that close!

you need to book a lunch date for the day after for it to work properly

mum2jakeyroo · 27/10/2008 15:38

definitely - my ds3 arrived 2 weeks ago on due date and didn't even tempt fate. but then again I gave birth in the car. If I remember rightly aren't you are a bit away from hosp?

MamaG · 27/10/2008 15:39

Ah yes good point - I'll ring my mum

OP posts:

MamaG · 27/10/2008 15:39

lol mum2 - yes an hour away - don't want to gbive birth in the car (apart from anything else, its filthy!!)

mum2jakeyroo · 27/10/2008 15:40

I planned a birthday party for day before - stress of it must have sent me into labour

ahundredtimes · 27/10/2008 15:40

Oh god. I'm so excited.

It'll happen tonight. I know it.

[boils kettle]

expatinscotland · 27/10/2008 15:42

Go, Mama!

Nothing here.

I've pretty much resigned myself to mid-November baby here.

Got a trip across the water planned on Wednesday, however, for a final stock up on ready meals.

mum2jakeyroo · 27/10/2008 15:43

Yes we moved this year and ended up being 45 mins away - big mistake. Used to be 5 mins away. Ours wasn't the cleanest either - especially not afterwards - lovely job for dh.

MamaG · 27/10/2008 16:45

Ah expat I reckon I'm kidding myself. I'll be mid-November with you!

100x, you might as well click that kettle off

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 27/10/2008 16:48

Jeez, woman, you still here?

MamaG · 27/10/2008 16:51

I'll be here for weeks yet NJ, am convinced!

OP posts:

expatinscotland · 27/10/2008 16:51

i've been having random contractions for a week.

it's come to nowt.

midwife was like, 'oh, are they powerful BHs?'

i said, 'nope. i learned the hard way DD2, they're contractions.'

but this kid is still way up there and going nowhere.

i've already re-adjusted my bags for having to go across the water to the big hospital for induction and will epidural from the get go.

i don't give a toss if it slows things down - not going to care by that point.

at least, my parents will be here 4 days after he's born if we go down the induction route and then i can literally sit on the couch or lie in bed BF and do utter FA.

ToThrottleABlackBird · 27/10/2008 16:52

Fingers crossed for you both that you go into labour soon. Just make sure it isnt before me

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 27/10/2008 16:53

Shall I fish the DIY sweep instructions out? Am sure I have them somewhere...

I was reading about something on here the other day, can't remember what it was called, but some homeopathic doingsmebob that seems to get people going within 24 hours?

I am going to stock up in a few weeks!

expatinscotland · 27/10/2008 16:55

i've tried curry, wine, sex, walking about.

MamaG · 27/10/2008 17:01

I was going to try it without epidural but then thought why the fuck would I do that? Will I get a medal? No!

I had epidural with DD, first, after v long labour and didn't have time with DS - why the hell would I want to put myself through that again?!

No, I'll have as many drugs as they'll let me I think.

I read that thread about that homeopathic thingy but don't think I'll try it

OP posts:

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 27/10/2008 17:01

How about cleaning windows? Digging the garden (good luck in this weather!!) if nothing else at least it gets a shitty job out of the way.

expatinscotland · 27/10/2008 17:02

if i have to be induced there is no way on this Earth i'm going epidural-free.

in fact, i'm also going to go all American on them and get them to scan me for how big he is and how big his head is.

bythepowerofgreyskull · 27/10/2008 17:03

Nipple stimulation..

get going.. my neighbour did it for a couple of hours and it got her contractions started.

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 27/10/2008 17:05

laboury birthy starter stuff

Expat, I have been induced twice and honestly, it really doesn't have to be as bad as everyone makes out.

Having said that, I fancy a break this time, if they are going to do me again I might have the epidural as well.
