Due September - Thread 15 - Babies being born thick and fast! Yay!

[KiwiKate]

Time for a new thread.

Hope the title will encourage the "reluctant" babes into the world.

Good luck to all who are due now/overdue

Boompi and Katts - which baby hammock did you opt for? I too have bought a hammock for this baby.

Ha ha ha
excellently funny post Piccadilly C!!! still giggling, how's your foot?
Cabe

We both got the Amby Nature's Nest Hammock. Supposed to be good for little one's to sleep through the night, prevent colic and lots of other nice things. Fingers crossed!

PC - Sorry, it was me who mentioned the twixes. I bought a 10 pack on Sunday thinking they'd last until I had the baby. They're all gone and DH only had 2!

I added a Milky Way to my induction techniques today I have been craving trifle as well.

Diane77 - Hope the threat of induction sends you into spontaneous labour otherwise good luck for tomorrow. How many days over will you be? Hopw it all goes smoothly.

congrats to zubb!!

Still hanging in here.

Who was it that said they were taking Caulophyllum 200? What dosage are you taking? The insert that came with mine is not helpful, and an internet search revealed many different opinions!

Katts - I didn't opt for the Amby - too expensive when this is my last baby. I wish I'd seen it when my dd was born though. I have just opted for a flatish retangular cloth hammock. I like that it is bigger than a moses basket and will have some natural swing for the baby. Also, it will allow the baby to adopt a slightly curved position.

It was quite expensive but I plan on using it instead of a cot. All going well.

Funny, when I first got pregnant DP was very reassuring that we wouldn' have to buy a thing because all his friends with kids would unload all their old baby stuff on us. Have they? H*ll no. So far we have been given a bouncy chair. And have a vague offer of a baby gym .

I've been thoroughly cheered up by the discovery of sticky/stringy snot like substance which could indicate my mucous plug.

Beatie, that's the best news I've had all day

Can't stop laughing now.

diane77 - Good luck for the induction!I'm quite excited to get to mine - at least its a light at the end of the tunnel!

Just persuaded MW to do an internal - I am not labour ready - and its likely to be several days -gutted -could not have a sweep as cervix too far back! - booked to be induced on Tuesday.

Who else was told their cervix was unfavourable!?

beatie, shall we form a "what exactly is this sticky/stringy stuff coming out of me and does it mean I will have a baby soon please" club? .

PC- have you had anymore come out? I'm fighting the urge to go to the bathroom just to have another check. This could be the very thing which keeps me amused for the rest of the day.

LOL Beatie and PC - amazing what keeps us happy and amused these days !!

No more has come out - maybe in a hopeful moment I imagined it. No, it was definitely there . Am also fighting the urge to check all the time, although I probably do need to go to the toilet now.

Have just eaten two (snacksize) Twixes .

Well if they're snacksize that is OK.

Will be interested to see if Twix works as an induction method PC - if it does, I'll be straight down to the shop! DH suggested curry and sex for this evening, although not sure that his motives were entirely altruistic...

I'll let you know about Petite Ecolier biscuits too. Swore I would have just one!

I'm just experimenting with a cadburys caramel - purely for the benefit of medical science, of course..

Another Twix has bitten the dust.

And there are somehow 4 empty wrappers. I think some bad person just came in and stole one from right under my eyes .

Is anyone else putting anything off at the moment? I am putting off general tidying and filing my nails. Also moving at all. And putting away the Tesco things that didn't need to be refrigerated.

I think I may have gone slightly mad as well .

Hiyah Pc

Yes my nesting has totaly gone to pot now, but I was nesting big time up until the last few days really. Am not looking forward to doing the midweek roast dinner thing tonight, but have got auntie bessies yorkshires at least.

Aswell as craving olives i am also eating raw cauliflower which my DS has also been eating too, he insisted I put some in his lunchbox yestersday bless him. I love the crunch of it really. Mind you have always had weird cravings like grout chalk rennies, but have not eaten anything out of the wall this pregnancy (Am v proud of myself )

I seem to be putting off going into labour!!
...just back from m/w 'sweep' not half as nasty as i imagined and now bouncing to attempt to jiggle things along wishing I had something more decadent than chocolate digestives to indulge in (bounce bounce)

do the bouncy things work

Mmm... Yes seems to get baby in the right position, you can tell cos you can only walk like John Wayne when you dismount the ball and those trapped nerve pains in very tops of inner thigh are fairly unbearable!!!

You have to be careful to have your knees lower than your hips, though, otherwise you reduce the space in your pelvis. Or something like that.

I bought one years ago and have relegated it to the loft, am gonna go on a ride at a local farm that is v v bumpy its like a tractor thing going allover rough terrain. Apparantly lady went on it at weekend and went into labour in the car park.

Am that desperate
