Due Oct 2005 - not much longer!

[Lexie100]

This must be for the last time.

Jockey - I blanked it from my mind in a jealous rage....you turned over and "she lid out"...

Must be going mad, I posted a congratulations as well....

Thanks for the support, feeling better since family got home and sympathised too. Going to do some cross-stitch - something I have been trying to finish for several years but tonight is the night I really don't have anything else to do!

Oh how pissed of am i. My friend just called who's due on 1st Nov and her waters have just broken. 2 weeks early. THIS IS NOT FAIR. I'm am now officially throwing all my toys out of the pram in a big tantrum.

awwww lexie.... its not fair is it.... these babies of ours just dont like us!

Hi ladies....just thought I'd check in to see who's left....you all seem fed up...it is mingin the last few weeks....but seriously TRY to enjoy your last few hours/days of peace and quiet! I felt really crappy the laast week or so and couldn't sleepb but it is nothing in comparison to how tired I am now DS has arrived. When I was pg with DD they were going to induce me but I used clary sage oil in the bath and burnt it in oil burnersd and hey presto 24 hrs later i was in labour...loads of my friends swear by it...maybe worth a try.........if you really are desperate....hope the end is in sight for the remainng few and that your labours are quick and easy x

Right i am off to buy some clary sage oil tomorrow!!
I am 38+5 so should not really be that desperate yet but i am.
DD1 has only 2 days of pre school left this week then its half term for 2 weeks. What am i gonna do with her especially as i dont drive. Feel really bad but i have such a bad back cant do much with her, i have been encouraging her to watch tv today and felt like a terrible mum!!

don't worry, i felt like a really bad mum for the last few weeks...DD spent ages in front of tv...won't do them any harm iin short term, i tried to do reading a lot withh dd and colouring cutting, anything that required little effort and energy and involved sitting on a comfy chair...dd even spent loads of time on the cbeebies website...fantastic!!!

where can you buy clary sage oil?! I WANT SOME!

Hello all.

I am begining to think that I am a bit strange. I am not desperate to get this baby out just yet!! I have the weirdest feeling though that something is going to happen through the night and we will have to rush off for an emergency section. This is all based on nothing of course and I am only 38+4.....

No more word from Hester. Wonder if it's happening for her???

I reckon hester has dropped....

Pregnancy insomnia is running rife with me again.... GRRRRR. All i want to do is sleep and i cant!

Hi J&BM. I'm wide awake too. I haven't been to bed yet to try to sleep, but don't think I will have much joy tbh. DH is coming down with a cold or something. Just what he needs when there are all these sleepless nights round the corner....

crap innit. Im letting DH sleep as he has to be up for work at 4.30am so doesnt need me huffing and puffing about not being able to sleep.

im jsut so ready for this baby now, but have now got it in my head that it will be born 5th November.... no idea why because that would make me 15 days over and there is NO WAY im going that far!

I am keen that mine isn't born on Hallowe'en or Guy Fawkes night because I think it would be a shame to have to "share" their birthday with another occasion IYSWIM. Ha - like I've got any say!!

I'm sure that you will drop long before then though J&BM.

Here's hoping! well off to TRY and sleep again, the thought of Jess being up in 6 hours is an incentive!

Oh the joys!! Night {smile]

morning all. Sorry you can't sleep. I slept not too bad but just keep dreaming of babies and now i have woken up in a really bad mood.

4 days late and really feeling it. Sod post natal depression i feel really quite low now. I have been waiting for spontanious labour and the joy of having this little one for so long now that if i have to be induced i think i'll cry.

OHHHHHHH i'm hormonal today

Lexie, big hugs hun.

After everything i tried, nothing happened last night either, so im just going too play the waiting game now.

Fingers crossed we can have another run of babies - nothing since friday!

Hope it all went well Hester and that you are getting all the support that you need.

Is anyone elses partner getting over excited? If dh rings me up again from work to ask if I am "OK" I will have to turn my phone off. It is my due date tomorrow and I am going for a long walk with my mum in the same place as we went for ds due date. It didn't work that time either but they do fantastic vanilla slices.

Trice - you never know, it might happen this time!!!

I know what you mean about eager partners! Everytime I call DH he jumps out of his skin and thinks im going to say he has to come home!

Its my dad that keeps phoning to see if im ok - he went into meltdown last night when he tried to phone home and both mobiles and got no answer - i was in the shower and DH was putting JEss to bed! I had to do a bit of calming down!

hi all
Can you believe it...still nothing!!! Had a terrible nights sleep.

But I feel really great today!!! The best I've felt in months, the big horrible black cloud has lifted and the consyant aches and pains have gone as well. More energy than I've had in weeks as well. I'm now 8 days overdue!!!

Away to drop ds2 to nursery, buy loads of magazines and spend all morning in the bath!!

Hope you feel better Lexie, I promise I know exactly how you feel.

All my love to everybody and here's hoping for Hester

thanks ladies. Just been for a power walk round the wood with the dog. Off to get some more RL tea and pineapple

Morning all. Just checking in. Despite my strange feeling last night that something was going to happen, nothing did. I woke this morning with really sore wrists though from all the fluid retention. I just so can't be arsed doing anything just now, and after yesterday when I did nothing all day, the place is a tip!!

Better get my arse in gear I suppose.....

Everyone is rather quiet today.

Having loads of BH and back pain but not getting my hopes up. Time for more RL tea.

ive been here on and off.... DH has just taken Jess to the shops (in her pj's - bad mummy alert) so ive got 10 minutes peace!

Ive decided to give up on all the remedies to get me going..... Ive booked my shopping to be delivered tomorrow evening so it will be sods law, baby decides to want to put in an appearance then!

Hello all. Just back from my routine midwife appointment. I have seen the same midwife all the way through and can you believe that she is on holiday next week. So, unless they manage to turn my baby on Friday (unlikely) and I then go overdue, it is going to be a different midwife who will be coming to do the home visits for the first week.

I am absolutely exhausted today and feel like I could burst into tears at any moment. DH is a bit down just now too. He is saying that he is fed up at his work, but I think he is quite stressed about the imminent arrival but doesn't want to worry me. MEN - why don't they just tell you what they are thinking.

I'm away to make myself busy to keep my mind off things.
