LadyOfTheFlowers · 11/10/2009 23:20

lol

I got preg with DS2 when DS1 was 4 months old - felt preg forever then too!

DS3 is 10 months and am 13.5 weeks with DC4 (DS4 I am sure! )

I was TERRIBLE with DS3 and wanted him out, so cannot scold you for being impatient!

ErikaMaye · 11/10/2009 23:20

45 days

And 35 until the 16th. I want mine out too!!!

LissyGlitter · 11/10/2009 23:32

same here! 42 days for me, but I am hanging on to the fact that DD came four weeks early!

LissyGlitter · 11/10/2009 23:35

Is there anything we can do, not so much to bring labour on, as obviously if she isn't ready I don't want to risk her health, but if I could somehow just let her know that, if she wants to, I don't mind her coming early, that would be great!

(god, that sentence makes very little sense!)

But, yeah, DD was fine at four weeks early, so if her sister feels like doing the same, that would be very nice of her...

ErikaMaye · 11/10/2009 23:41

DP and I spent the weekend telling him if he wanted to pop on out around Hallow'een-ish he'd be more than welcome!!!

LissyGlitter · 11/10/2009 23:50

If it's any help to anyone, when DD came I spent the day before having a long bath, making jelly and cleaning and dancing to loud music, being in some performance art for a friend, then we had a cheeky half of shandy and a doner kebab (which I regretted when throwing up in labour hours later!) and watched an x men film, then upstairs for a shag, then I came back downstairs as I was feeling odd, then when I finally went to climb into bed, whoosh! Waters everywhere.

So that is the daily routine I will follow from now on

ErikaMaye · 12/10/2009 00:05

Right well that's my plan for tomorrow then

LissyGlitter · 12/10/2009 00:22

Lol, I just went and gave DP and kiss and a cuddle and he was responding pretty well, until he said "hold on, do you just want me to shag you to make the baby come early?" and then refused to do so!

Honestly, men!

ErikaMaye · 12/10/2009 00:27

Did you not remind him how much more amazing the sex will be when you don't have a baby to manouver around?!

LissyGlitter · 12/10/2009 00:51

Poor bloke, last pregnancy I was rampant, this time I have a serious case of CBA (and can't seem to remember how to do it with a bump and still be comfy anyway) so no wonder he was suspicious when I suddenly came over all amorous!

alana39 · 12/10/2009 11:45

Lissy thanks for advice, due in 2.5 weeks and very fed up. Off to find someone producing some performance art this minute.......

ErikaMaye · 12/10/2009 17:22

Ohhhh the hospital think I might be in labour

LissyGlitter · 12/10/2009 20:44

erika :D Good luck! (what did you do today?)

ErikaMaye · 12/10/2009 22:17

The hospital were shite. Please see post on other thread as am too annoyed to retype grumbles How are you doing tonight?

I went to ante natal class today and learnt how to bathe a baby - too cute, too cute!!!

NewbeeMummy · 13/10/2009 09:54

8 days and counting, plan for today is get last minute grocery shopping done (including getting an exercise ball for exercises to move baby along) pick up hot curry on the way home, eat that for lunch and pinapple for afternoon snack, had wax yesterday so plan to try and seduce DP tonight and hopefully that'll get things going, just sooooooo fed up!!!!

ErikaMaye · 13/10/2009 19:02

LOL Loving your plan for today, hope it went well

FluffyCoo · 13/10/2009 22:57

Er, thanks a lot ladies... DH has just been reading this over my shoulder and has now banned sex until baby is born! Just in case - GOD FORBID - i should want to shag him for any reason other than that he is utterly irresistible! GAH!!! Only 18 sex-free weeks to go then

ErikaMaye · 13/10/2009 23:06

Dear FluffyCoo's DH:

Sex can only induce labour in the last few weeks as the cervix will already have started to ripen and the semen will relax it that bit more.

So, ride her cowboy!

Yours sincerely,

Erika-Maye.

FluffyCoo · 14/10/2009 09:13

Cheers ErikaMaye - PML!

You'd think blokes would just be grateful for whatever they can get eh...?

Any of you nearly-due ladies manage to kick off any contraction action?!

ErikaMaye · 14/10/2009 11:16

Not a problem. It worked on my DP Unfortunately am now at the final stages so I'm going to have to reword it... Have warned him that from Hallow'een onwards I will be jumping him on a regular basis. Don't think he believes me, the fool...

LOL at contraction action!!!

Well still waiting, had a few contractions last night, but has all settled down this morning

DP has said he feels used, but then I did remind him that once the lo arrives it'll probably be a few weeks before I'll be in shape to do anything, so he may as well enjoy it (sorry if that's TMI)

So more pineapple, spicy fajita's for dinner, and DP is getting some raspberry leaf tea for me

ErikaMaye · 14/10/2009 11:27

Damn Hope they spark back up for you today, you do sound really fed up with it all!!!

Why does he feel used?

NewbeeMummy · 14/10/2009 11:34

Thanks Erika, fingers crossed they start up again...

I think he was just teasing, but it was when I mentioned a 3rd round before he went to work that he said it, poor bloke will develop a John Wayne walk by the time this baby comes
