[OnlyWantsOne]

Hi :)

40 + 2 here

Hey OWO, 39+2 for me

Hello, 36+5 here - due boxing day but hoping he'll be here before Christmas!

Hi owo 39+ 4 today

Hi all, thanks for thread OWO 38 weeks today :)

Hey all 40 + 2 here today too and still no sign of an arrival!

A sewage pipe burst outside our house last night and within minutes there was a sewage fountain and a flood across the whole street!it took 3 hours before Northumbrian water sorted it and now the street stinks!apparently they are sending someone today to clean it up!

Hey everyone 40+1 and am rethinking my idea that it would be fine for this baby to be two weeks late...

Have started on the raspberry leaf tea, evening primrose oil and bouncing on the gym ball. Off to find some spicey food :o

Congrats to Chooster, my due date buddy, very happy for you but extremely that Jude made his grand entrance on time.

My two are 4 weeks old already although still not due until the 13th December!

Chooster how are you getting on? & PJen? We should start a postnatal thread soon [Smile]

Where's Strix, haven't heard from her in a while?

Thanks for the new thread OWO :)

38+5, still working and so much to do before the grand entrance that I'm sort of hoping it's not before EDD!

Just back from MW appt looks like it will be this weekend - had a show about an hour ago head 2/5 palpable so 3/5 engaged. Had a definate shift of position yesterday and very restless night last night.
Will keep you informed !

Ooo MrsS that's good news :)

Im off to peel and eat 3 pineapples

Good work on the new thread OWO. Good luck Mrs Snaplegs and everyone else who thinks it might be time...

38 weeks and 3 days over here, according to the NHS...

What are everyone's plans for the weekend?
(apart from possibly having babies)

And what symptoms/twinges/feelings/sensations are we all exhibiting - shall we compare and contrast, the good, the bad - and the TMI?

Lauranamium - eeewwww, stinky.

Miffster I've got a TMI for you - definite increase in discharge, to point where was wondering if might be part of my plug today. Other than that, having a few more braxton hicks, bit painful at times, and quite a bit of pressure at times on back and in pelvis. I am up and down, had really restless night last night and grumpy today. DD is asleep and got friend popping over this afternoon though so that should cheer me up.

No plans for weekend as DH working tomorrow, other than seeing his Dad Sunday.

OWO bet you can't eat 3. Have you tried loads of sex? Not sure whether sex or a whole pineapple is the grimmer thought at this stage.

Ooh, is MrsS next?

hey all
thanks for the new thread OWO
and best of luck MrsS :)
I'm 37+1 today and wondering how long it would be till the Big Day
for the weekend..well we need to do extensive cleaning of the house..as in DH needs to do it..i will of course relax
so nothing too exciting to look forward to...

and well still haven't been able to finalise the bedding for the cot..anyone knows any good place apart from:
mothercare, boots, mamasandpapas, kiddicare(website), Asda?

i have seen all these..and didn't like anything much :(

Jasmine is due on Boxing Day but I don't think I am going to last that long.

Luckily it is only a mile to the hospital and it is flatish all the way so the snow it not too much of a problem.

Jasmine is a miracle baby becauase I have been married 8 years and was told before the marriage that I could never have children due to blocked and damaged tubes. So no contraception for all our married life.

wow amazing! it's truly a miracle :)
All the best to you Pitterpatter2
May you little bundle of joy bring you all the happiness in the world :)

Thanks for the new thread OWO

Hope you're okay MrsS- sounds like you could be next! How exciting!

Sympathies to all of you who are past due date and patiently waiting.......

36+6 here today. Baby definitely dropped last night as I feel soooooooooooo much less constricted in my chest area today and can bend down far easier. 2 weeks of work to go..... just need to hold on until after that!

Hope everyone's keeping warm. Our street is super icy today- very worried about slipping.

Big wave to everyone

Pitterpatter what a lovely surprise for you both.

Ooh MrsSL good luck if things do start happening this weekend.

'Symptoms'/feelings etc here - baby 3/5 engaged (been that far down for over a week though), quite a few contractions, although they've slowed down a fair bit this last week. I have no 'feeling' that anything is going to happen. My feeling earlier int he week was that one day we'd have snow, boys would be off school and I'd go into labour, but as nothing happened yesterday I was wrong! I'm getting a lot of pressure in my back passage, and babys head is making certain positions (sitting being one of the main ones), walking and getting up quite difficult.

Unfortunately I can't stand pineapple or hot food, babys head is also making sex utterly impossible so boiuncing on ball, on hands and knees and walking about as much as poss are my getting baby moving options.

My bag packed and checked
DD overnight staying at friends bag packed
Baby bag packed and checked
Car seat ready for car
Downloaded 2 books onto iPhone

Need to make mince pies for DD Xmas fair tomorrow and prep for her friend coming to play this afternoon also have a basket of ironing to do!
MW gave us emergency supplies of gloves, pads etc in case we end up delivering here and although local MLU officially shut she has said 2 MW there 8-8 in week if it's today!

No contractions or anything so just going to go with the flow!!
Getting jobs done then will put my feet up later!
