Congratulations LPP!!! Fantastic news

Congrats LPP!!!!

Congrats LPP!

Congrats LPP

Not at all

Well I'm still here Wee baby Boo has 48 hours to make an entrance. I'm going to ring my MW in a min and beg her to pop round and do another sweep. Been having irregular cramps and tightenings since the one on Tuesday and still lots of blood tinged mucous. Hoping another sweep just tips me over the edge!

Thunder I have also been feeling sicky.....especially in the mornings again

Good luck Ishe

Loopy sounds like your MW is very pro informed consent I hate being TOLD what they will and won't be doing. They can advise but ultimately any decision is yours to make. Reading the research I wouldn't go for the baby turning. I would try VB if there was anyone experienced enough to facilitate that or if not then I would go for CS. It is YOUR choice though. Hopefully baby just has a very hard bottom and it was a head she was feeling after all

waves to everyone else

Hey Gizzy sorry to hear that baby has not yet turned up, I'm sending eviction vibes over to the Hebrides (you do live there right?) as we speak!

I don't know what my MW is - except she's been lacking in information from the very start. If im asking questions from a health professional, i expect to hear all options, etc not just "dont worry about it" & NO info whatsoever. It just meant i googled like a crazy woman when i got home (which made me feel better incidentally as i felt armed with info). I shall be glad to be rid of her, post baby!!

Good luck Gizzy & Thunder!!

Congrats to Newton and LPP It seems to be about half and half babies and impatient mums now!

newton i saw the fb update - she's beautiful!

loopy agree your MW sounds awful. I would definitely ask for more info from a medical professional at your scan before making the decision to go for the baby turning - it's really important. FX that she just got it wrong! And as for not taking it easy, i was full on during the first week of my leave and have definitely slowed down now!!

gizzy still got my fingers crossed that your baby gets a move on!

hello to everyone else!

All fine with me, not sleeping great and feeling very full of baby right now. I've finally got to the point where I am joining the club of being ready and wanting the baby to get a move on! MW appt today, first check-up in a month, at 38+5 so fingers crossed the head is even a bit engaged - it definitely feels it!

Congrats newton Glad she's finally made her way out!

pinpan sorry to hear that but glad you're feeling a bit better. And bless, can't wait for DS to start smiling properly and for it to not be wind! Lol.

Loopy hopefully baby will turn again! Don't agree to anything you're not happy with. When my mum was pregnant with me, I decided to turn breech at the very last moment, cos I'm awkward lol, so it's possible baby will turn on its own.

Beeble hope your last few days go well :)

ishe fingers crossed sweep does something for you!

Congrats LPP!! Ooo more babies :)

Thunder hope MW can bring you some good news or at least a sweep!

I'm another with a baby that just seems to bring up most of his feeds. Glad it's not just us as I was wondering whether I should be worried or not. He has started putting weight back on though, so that's a good sign. And he does seem to be feeding every 2.5 hours at the moment Though he's been asleep since 8am, so hoping it'll go on til gone 11! Was really hoping to take him out today but the weather is terrible so think I'll just stay in. How boring lol.

Gosh... My head is so fuzzy I want to say hi to everybody but don't have the mental capacity!

It's lovely reading everybody's updates though!

Will be a better poster soon

Congratulations LPP and Newton :o

Penny had her 10 day check today (where the bloody hell has 10 days gone? ) all is well and little miss has gained 2 ounces on her birth weight, which is apparently great for a breastfed baby. Can't say I'm surprised, my nipples seem to constantly have a baby attached to them. Been discharged from MW care now. Just the Health Visitor to deal with then we'll be left alone :o

Wow Hetty 10 days!!

Bear sounds like you are getting on great

Newton the brain does turn less mushy in time.

Well I phoned MW and she was gonna call in for a cuppa anyway so she did a sweep while she was here. Flippin heck she went for it. I'm now 5-6, soft and stretchy and head just sitting there all ready. Just need a jump start lol.
She's sure she'll be seeing me later We'll see.

Wonder how Thumb is getting on....been thinking about her!

Awwww Thunder lots of bouncing on the ball and leaning forward. All 4's in the bath helped me too I think. Take some paracetamol an hour before your next sweep.

I quite fancy cake......you sharing??

Well done Gizzy That baby is going to fly out soon enough... I bet by this time tomorrow you'll be having cuddles

Oh god Newton I hope so (pleading smiley)

Coincidently, I've just plonked myself on the sofa with some freshly made banana and chocolate cake....

Can't sit...its too sore.....I can pace and eat though

grabs cake

That's a good sign, no?

Try eating a huge bag of jelly babies like crisps... That's what I did

Well I'm bouncing on my ball with my earphones in listening to a bit of Mumford
Its all very irregular and random so preparing for it all to wear off again.

Thinking of you Gizzy! 5cm?! You are tough. I was in agony by them. Tis going to be a breeze.

It can't be long now!

Ooooh, now I want jelly babies. The womble ate from 11.45 til 3 am last night and now she's up again at 7. Think she's just about grown out of her newborn sized clothing though!

I really don't know what I should be doing. Should I be trying to bring these contractions closer together and stronger or should I cosy up and see what happens?

I had this Tuesday night and wore myself out trying to force it only for it to fizzle out anyway......I'm

I'm not sure. I guess you just need to see how it goes and try to get comfortable. I know that's not helpful but can't bear not to let your question go unanswered. Try and have a bath and keep going on your ball. I think that's what I'd do. Sorry
