Grumpy is still here Shanelle can me and you have awards for the most stubborn babies?!! I very much doubt mine will fall in the toilet Congratulations Barmee! I would very much like your birth please!

Seriously, my body is taking the ultimate in piss. I managed to get to sleep, and slept for 10 frickin' hours maybe waking once an hour to a painful tightening. Dragged myself out of bed an hour ago and not even the backache I had yesterday or the discharge crap I was having.

Epic fail.

DS asked where are we going today. We are going to the sofa child... and the sofa only. He didn't notice the dangerous expression on my face when he uttered 'but I want to go somewhere and do something' AND YOU THINK I DON'T?!!! I just can't face the general public. I may strangle someone. Best to stay inside really! He asked me why I had nothing planned for today... WELL I WAS HOPING I MIGHT OF HAD A BABY...!!

I'm just going to slob in PJ's all day.

MM How utterly crap, although the timing I guess could have been worse, if you were earlier in the pregnancy?

Bad news MM but if you do a postgrad you'll be back to being financially independent once you're done and hopefully in a better position - might be better in the long term?

I'm starting to think this baby will never come - and the "have you had the baby yet?" texts are starting to wear a little thin!

Even my Dad text me this morning. My Dad. Who hasn't been in touch the whole pregnancy, except for the fact he was at my cousins wedding 2 weeks ago.

You know you are way overdue when my Dad bothers his ass to text!

Hello week 41...!

Oh yes, and my Dad, DP, MIL and my Mum had all text me before I'd even woke this morning afternoon!!

I've just had to put more air in my ball - is this a sign of how much weight i've put on !?

No! I had to put more air in mine! They do naturally go down and I keep catching DS and DP on it. Fear not!

Hello everyone, many congrats on all the new arrivals and good luck peaky. Hope things work out for the best mm. Could you get a bursary for doing a postgrad to supplement your income?

Today should have been my due date but l am ?celebrating? by having no sleep, wondering around town with two huge wet patches (forgot my breast pads!) andchanging around 12 nappies . Not that l would have it any other way .

Congrats DH21 and barmee hope you can get over the shock soon !

Charlee Hope they can re-assure you and you feel lots of lovely movement very soon

I feel like I'm all arms and legs today, everything just hurts now. I've got NO bladder, it is just made and pisses straight out!

Detective I really feel for you, with HB's it's like the pressure is on the closer to day 12 you get doesn't it? My countdown starts tomorrow, but I can't imagine how you are feeling with your history.

Shanelle Fingers crossed for you.....

I've just told DH "I'm going to be pregnant FOREVER!!" His response - "If we've won a share in the Euromillions, then yes..." Apparently, if we get rich, I'm becoming 'a baby factory'

I think he forgets you need to have sex to have a baby...

Baby James born this morning at 6.30 am after gruelling 12 hour induced labour on syntocin drip. 9lbs 8oz he's a whopper and beautiful. Midwife was amazing as was Dr that got him out by ventouse.

Gas and air is the best invention ever as are epidurals though I didn't get one till near the end.

Congrats Barmee and DH too.

Congrats Debussy sounds like it was a true labour of love!! :)

Shelly I'm just not up for a fight right now! I don't mind being pregnant still, am quite happy for baby to come whenever, but the closer I get to the 'magical over due dates' the more stressed I feel about things.

If I wasn't refusing IOL, and still insisting on a homebirth, I suspect I may not be as bothered!

I am feeling a little stir crazy though, as I don't feel I can venture out alone/with DS, with the stupid tightenings etc. Last thing I want is to be in public and have a baby fall out my fanjo

And DP isn't helping matters at all

Congratulations Debussy!

I just had one of those moments, where you hope to god you text the right number!

Text to DP - we are having sex.

Thank god, when I checked, I had text DP. But I did manage to text some random shit to his mum the other night, and had visions of doing the same again

I don't want to have sex. But needs must now haha! I'll remember the tissue for my tears this time

Can we have a hands up for the over due ladies?! How far overdue?!

DS just asked me why his lollipop is shaped like a heart. In my head, I was like HOW THE FUCK DO I KNOW? Out my mouth came 'because the lollipop factory put them in heart shape molds'. At least I hope it came out that way round

Congratulations debussy

i'm overdue - 40+3

Congrats to dh debussy and barmee

I went to the new John Lewis with my mum today. After walking around for an hour or so I am absolutely knackered. It's really taken it out of me. I hadn't seen my mum for a week because she hasn't been well (usually I see her 3-4 times a week) and she says my bump has grown since then and I now look ready to have the baby. I feel it too. 39+1 and praying he comes in the next week. Please please please.

DP just replied to my attractive offer of sex... 'why lol?'

THE BASTARD!!

He said with any luck, i'll go in to labour before I have to shag him. I'm not that lucky

40+10 by scan dates and those are the dates they insist on going by.
40+3 by my valentines day DTD and LMP dates but either way = fat, grumpy and most definately OVERCOOKED
Lovely midwife even phoned me on my mobile to enquire as to any "movement" and book in sweep no3 for Monday. Going out tonight to an event I wasnt expecting to make and have nothing to wear- its a black tie awards ceremony but frankly I dont care and am going as I am. Grumpy, MOI!!

My dates give me 40+4 today... It will be interesting when baby arrives to see how overdue he looks! DS was certainly very wrinkled, and he shed all the skin off his hands and feet straight away! He was 13 days over by my dates, but 9 by scan. I think he was nearer to my dates.

Where as this time, it might be the other way around!

Oh well, we shall see! I was having shorter 26 day cycles, so thought this may affect things... obviously not .

Congrats debussy

Baby has had a few wriggles so I'm not going to go in to be checked over. She keeps punching my fanjo when i think i havent felt her move much

waiting My MW is a bitch, she wont see me (mainly because it was her fault that I had a stillborn), so im under solid consultant care, but yes he's very sympathetic
