Hi ladies,

Well, this morning I rubbed a small baby against my tummy in the hope of bringing something on (old wives' tale, but worked for friend!) Still nothing, so I may go and attack the buddleia with pruning shears (I did half of it the other day - looks like it has a mullet currently!)

Hope we get some news from Oeisha and Dee soon. And has anyone heard from Peanuts?

FX everyone gets moving soon!

Karmanna · 26/01/2012 16:33

Aah, I think my water's just gone! I was on my way to toilet and about half a cup full of liquid just came out. Scent free, but think it also had a bit of show in it... Better call hospital!

ghosteditor · 26/01/2012 16:50

Wow go karmanna!

BigHotMama · 26/01/2012 16:54

Woop woop! Fx it's the real thing for you karmanna and best of luck Smile

Lol fryn at running baby against bump I think we just get desperate to do/try anything don't we?

God I am absolutely starving today can't stop scoffing!

Karmanna · 26/01/2012 17:01

They want me to come in to check it was definitely water and may or may not bring forward my induction depending on how baby's doing. Bit annoying as I was just there, and now I have to go back! :) Fx it'll happen naturally - ghost I'm seeing balloons when I breathe now - quite calming so if nothing else I can try and apply that! :)

DozyNosy · 26/01/2012 17:12

Is there a specific way to join the Jan 2012 thread do I need to add my details to the other stats list thread?
Mini Dozy's EDD is 30/01/12. She will be DC1.
I've been using MN for a good few months now but mainly lurk and sometimes post on AIBU and chat, only just found the antenatal threads.

ghosteditor · 26/01/2012 17:20

Hi dozy and welcome to the list! Feel free to add yourself to the stats list and start posting - there's a specific post-natal thread too for those of us whose babies have arrived Smile

xshevix · 26/01/2012 17:20

Woo hope things get going quick for you Grin

Getting lots of niggling pains and feel sick again today, hope somethings going on!

MissRee · 26/01/2012 17:31

Good luck for a speedy birth karmanna Grin

ParsleyLion1 · 26/01/2012 17:37

Fx karmanna and good luck Grin

DozyNosy · 26/01/2012 18:10

OK I'll add myself to the list.
I actually thought it was time earlier this week, I had lots of strong BH and back pain etc, but all seems to have gone quite now. I'm a bit on edge today though as she has not been moving as much as normal (she's normally very active) I don't think it's reduced enough to warrant contacting the midwife. Anyone know if lots know if lots of activity and then a quiet day is a sign of labour?
I'm under consultant care (due to my epilepsy) so already have an induction booked for 09/02/12 so at least I know I wont go beyond then.

Good luck karmanna.

shonnomanom · 26/01/2012 19:33

Oh good luck karmanna!
Welcome dozy

I think that Dee has had her baby. I'm basing this purely on a 'congratulations on your news' post on her fb, posted on Monday night. purely speculation.

addictediam · 26/01/2012 20:03

Oh yes shon, that post would suggest she has had the baby.

Just had a hormonal cryee rant at dh. 40 weeks is along time to be pregnant. I am just so fed up!

Welcome dozy.

supadupapupascupa · 26/01/2012 20:24

well guys, hopefully gonna see you on the other side.
nothing happening but signing off soon. being induced tomorrow EEK! got to be at the hospital for 8:15.

good luck everyone!

ghosteditor · 26/01/2012 20:25

Good luck supa!!!!

xshevix · 26/01/2012 20:25

Good luck for your induction xD x

BigHotMama · 26/01/2012 20:31

Welcome dozy it's mad you have only just found us here! There's not many of us left now.

I'm just fed up with not being able to walk far or stand for long as back really aches. Keep trying to picture what our little smurf will look like I still can't really believe baby will be here soon.

BigHotMama · 26/01/2012 20:32

Ooh x posts there supa good luck for induction x

xshevix · 26/01/2012 20:40

Just looked at my mw notes and my blood pressure is 93/50 no wonder i feel light headed and tired haha! How many of us are left now?

addictediam · 26/01/2012 20:50

I think we can safely say both crosshair and aurorasky have had their babies, although I don't want to move them off the list! I haven't removed dee as she hasnt confirmed herself anywhere yet although as she also had induction booked she has probably had it.
I don't think I've missed any announcements, but could have done. Dozy I haven't added you to the list as I'm on my phone, have a small scream and can't see your details anywhere (I know you posted them tho)

redheadbedhead · 26/01/2012 21:25

hey everyone

just wanted to say good luck to all those still left to pop, and see you on the other side - it's a world of milk, poo and hallucinating in the middle of the night over there!

Fryn come over whenever you like for more small baby rubbing Grin or if i get brave/you're feeling too hefty and tired, i could even bring him over to you eeeek!

Karmanna · 26/01/2012 23:09

Officially in labour. Hospital confirmed water gone but sent me home as contractions not close enough together. Now 4mins apart and lasting about 45s and getting very painful. Will go back to hospital in a bit I think.

supa good luck with your induction tomorrow.

Will see you on the other side!! xxxx

DozyNosy · 26/01/2012 23:17
