Oh no! I'll keep my fingers crossed that they do!

Shelley YES I too monkey to the toilet in the wee hours of the morning and just hope DH is really asleep and not just pretending and secretly laughing at me.

Oh Fatima

Anyone else using the natal hypnotherapy cd? Every time I use it,it knocks me out and then I wake up not being able to shift the groggy feeling.

I don't know if it is, and do not feel ill enough to see a doctor. It may just be a cold combined with no room to breathe, but that is how they happen.

Just rest then Valium, I know it's hard though with other little nippers. Do they check for infections on the day? I'd keep quiet........

Sophia I could only imagine what I looked like! I had to move as fast as possible but was that stiff I could only lumber from side to side and I had to sort of put my arms up in the air to counter all the rocking. It must have looked hilarious and I did even have a chuckle as I emptied out the tea-spoonful of wee that made me do it.

I'm just back from clinic. BP was up so had to go to daycare for monitoring. Babys heartrate was elevated again. Had scan to check babys wellbeing. Head down, lots of hair!, placenta and cord blood flow all good. Estimated at 3kg. I slipped this morning and my legs separated...OUCH! So I'm in excruciating pain now even on the painkillers. Seen a different consultant who asked if I wanted admitted but I've said no for now. I have to go to daycare next tues for monitoring again prior to seeing my own consultant. She has said they will do a VE to check cervix with a view to induction as I will be 37+6 then. Hoping that my own consultant agrees as he is old school and refused to discuss it last appointment. His registrar who I'd seen today said he needed consultants go ahead for induction prior to due date but he felt I should be due to the pain. Nice consultant today agreed she would induce me next week but obviously I'm not her patient so have to see my own.

tits I didn't have spd last time I was induced due to rasied BP and protein in urine.

Izzy fingers crossed for you too :)

Fingers crossed for you izzy and VQ I hope you don't have a chest infection, are you coughing a lot? My consultant was concerned about coughing after having a c section. Really hope it's just baby squashing your lungs!

Hope for your sake they do induce Izzy, fingers crossed for next week then!!

My goodness I feel better after a snooze. I woke up this morning still completely exhausted. Ringgate did not help my mood neither did discovering that randomly our email provider had upgraded us without us asking and left nothing working. I followed the instructions and nothing would work. Error messages a go go. DH managed to get his sorted on his iPad within seconds but mine took a loooooooong time to fix. I am sure he thought it was me just being tired and emotional. Maybe it was. Done now though.

Ended up curled up on the sofa for about an hour and a half. Just woken up and am now drinking tea and eating chocolate biscuits.

Yoga in 30 mins. That should wake me up.

I hope it isn't a chest infection vq,

Need to summon some energy from somewhere to pick up DS from nursery. Let's just hope DH decides to go to the gym tonight so he will do his own dinner.

The trouble is Lane when it comes to it do you think I will remember what to do or should I just play the cd do you think?

My WC jab arm is starting to ache Flu jab arm is fine though

I've also got a big graze on my knee as I bashed it on the corner of a drawer trying some big knickers on

That was meant to say man flu vq not just man, if it was just man then perhaps I should fling the recipe mms way

at Fatima I can picture it now! Ok so maybe not, but I can picture myself doing it!

How do I lean over a birthing ball without squashing my boobies? They hurt and they're in the way. Bloody massive thwaps

Midwife has confirmed baby's head is engaged, and I don't think he'll be moving as he has been engaged for nearly two weeks now, going by the pain I'm in. Hope he comes soon!

That's good swiss this one has been head waaaay down for weeks now, def since the 32 week scan.

Good luck izzy hope you get the induction.

sophia thank you for the soup. I have sent some to MM

izzy ouch to the legs separating! Fingers crossed they will induce.

I don't really know how I feel. I will see what tonight brings and if necessary see my GP. They would sound my chest before the spinal, but it is probably better to know sooner rather than later if it is going to be delayed. Thing is, if my waters went or I went into labour they would not hesitate, but obviously that is different. I am coughing a bit.

Fatimapop a cushion on top of it much more comfy.

Nice one swiss.

I have a sodding cold. I knew it. Got that achy throat feeling last night, today my nose is streaming and I'm sneezing. Seems we are all feeling crap today then! At least I am not alone. I fear I may need double pads on if I keep sneezing at this rate though...

I was getting very stiff, and getting up in the night/morning was getting harder and harder, but the last week or so has bought some improvement in the achy body department!

Baby was quieter than usual all day, but still moving. Just nice movements, as opposed to its usual beat the hell out of me ones. Of course as soon as I started driving, it started with the fanny daggers and shoving all limbs out in every direction

I am no longer worried....

My car on the other hand is making a terrible racket. I am not happy. I bloody knew something would go wrong when I need it to least...

Congratulations YW

I get very stiff and sore, especially at night and if I've been sitting for a while.

I feel very different today but I can't put my finger on quite how? My pelvic pain has reached new levels and my bump feels strangely heavy but looks the same so I don't think baby's engaged or anything. Weird!
I had a bit of milk leakage this morning. Never had that with DD so was a bit excited!

Thanks everyone. I will keep you all updated. I'm gutted Im not under the female consultant because she said herself she would induce me no problem?, it's the bloody evil male old school one that I have to convince tho!

Still in agony but hoping it settles down back to my usual SPD pain over next few days. DH off tomorrow which is good and he has arranged his mum to pick up DD and take her to nursery then pick her up again at finish time and just bring her home around 6 on thurs so I don't even have to leave house. He's been a star.

Hoping he can get time from work to come to next weeks appt at daycare and then induction discussion as I feel a united front would help!

Just change consultants Izzy :) Just refuse to see your regular one, and ask to be transferred to the care of the other cons.

BTW, keep an eye on the post

We are coming home from the scbu. So excited!!

Ooh I'm excited detective
