Was my bday yesterday. Had lovely day, DS was so sweet giving me presents, singing and blowing out candles. Then he stayed at nana's so DH and I had night out, cinema, dinner and lie-in today. Now tgat's out of the way, happy for baby to come. I'm 38+5 tho and wouldn't mind another week or two of mat leave to relax.

detective, what can I say, we're all rooting for you!

Mrs Wee if it was me whinging about my knackered pelvis, have no fear, my precious little bundle is in my arms and makes up for everything. I'd rather be sat here bolloxed any day

I managed to get contracting. Proper regular contractions, painful contractions. While in hospital. They stopped when the Reg appeared and started lecturing me.

Angry isn't the word. I took myself off the monitor in the end, and came home. Awaiting a blow my head and arse off curry, and I AM going to get those contractions back.

Detective what was the lecture about?! Bleedin' 'ell!! and for you. Of course something as stressful as being lectured, in a hospital you didn't want to be in anyway, is going to bring things to a juddering halt. Grrr.

Thinking of you. As is everyone else. x

detective that's so rubbish, but hopefully they will start up again soon! Get yourself in a hot bath and do some deep breathing!

Sounds like baby waiting will arrive soon!
I'm feeling a bit better now but still crampy and so empty, wish I could eat but can't stand the thought.

I'm going to have an induction in the week, just have to wait for a phone call from the hospital. I'm still hoping things will happen before then but if they don't then sod it. I just want to give birth!

I didn't go in to labour at the christening Been having random tightenings all day and things are not at all comfortable. DH is getting concerned, he thinks somethings going to happen soon. As long as it waits until after lunch tomorrow then that's fine by me

hehe shelly no it wasn't you. I had really bad SPD the last time and I remember it lasting a bit.
It's just it all really. I had a terrible time feeding. HV didn't believe that I didn't produce milk well. DD had terrible reflux, HV didnt believe that either. Eventually my doctor was very helpful after I turned to her after getting no help from the HVs, by then I was a broken woman and I know it all effected my bond with DD, which to this day isn't as good as it could be.. she has just spend the whole evening as she does all the time when daddy is home, rejecting me for daddy and has just pushed me out of her room crying her eyes out when I tried to comfort her. sigh

Hello fellow bumpettes!

Really angry for you detective - grrr !!

Good luck waiting and any one else I've missed!

Had a lovely day with DP. Took the dog for a long walk (slightly stupid my back's now killing me!). Was all set to have dinner in a wee country pub until the chef's dog crapped in the middle of the bar. Put us right off as you can imagine. So had dinner at our fav restaurant on the way home instead! DP been drinking all afternoon (I gave him permission lol) so hoping baby doesn't come tonight. Leaving aside the practicalness of getting to hospital, he's a giggly embarassing drunk! Did I mention my back is agony? Definitely sciatic nerve as it's now travelling down my leg and is on one side. I really don't want to take meds though so sucking it up with a hot water bottle and about to soak in the bath. I'm being a bit of a wimp, heck knows how I'll cope with labour!!!!

Also 11 days to due date and getting very peed off with people asking me if I think it's going to happen today - especially MIL who ruined my long lie with her stupid daily interrogating phone call ...

What on earth was the registrar lecturing you about detective ? I would ask not to be seen by them again. I am sending you big hugs and swear there will be balloons outside my house when you finally have your little boy

Lectured that I will kill my baby because I am 'so over due' and risking a vbac at home.

I am not a statistic. I am a person with thoughts and feelings. I know my baby is still well. If I was concerned, I'd be the first person demanding to get him out. Like I'd want to put him at risk?

There is more risk to IOL for him, especially if he isn't ready to be born yet. There is more risk to me of scar rupture - ergo him, if labour is started artificially. My cervix just isn't ready for labour. I'll end up with a section if I agree to IOL unnecessarily right now. If I agree to IOL, it will be when the time is right - and it isn't right now!

I'm not too active here at the moment, because I don't want to be so negative. Plus I'm trying to ignore the fact that you buggers are all popping them out . Just kidding, I'd not wish this on anyone!

Sorry to hear they're trying to push you around .Detective and FC the curry will get you going. It would be nice if the doctors really did know it all though wouldn't it? I would have had a nice planned section at my convenience instead of an emergency one done just in time.

Oh detective that is proper awful. I am so sorry. I really hope baby comes quickly.

Have walked a lot of London today...to no avail...still nothing. I will be here in December.

What a git detective. No wonder your contractions stopped!!!

Oh Detective that is rubbish. I have had white coat syndrome with everyone of mine and it is very frustrating. I have never gone as over as you are though so I can't begin to imagine how rubbish you feel. Hope this kick off for real for you tonight.
MM That is disgusting. Why on earth would they let it do that.My dog would never crap in the house unless complete emergency. Gross. Glad you had a nice time though in the end.
Charlee and waiting Hope you are enjoying newborn cuddles.
Fatima Hope tomorrow goes okay and you can relax and have your baby afterwards.
Sorry if I have missed anyone.

I have been pretty hyper today. After feeling shite all day yesterday I got my energy back. I have done loads of cleaning and sorting. Baby would be very welcome to come tonight as the house is clean and tidy and everything is ready for kids for school tomorrow.
It is my due date on Tuesday. I was only overdue with last one but only by 1 day and knew on my due date that he would be born either that night or the following day. He was born at 10 in the morning at 40+1. I still have no real twinges. Not even been aware of many braxton hicks this time. Def feels like a whopper baby so hopefully not too long to wait.

Jenbird it was totally disgusting. My dog would never ever do it inside either! Not even in the garage in an emergency. Boke. They lost a lot of business as 4/5 other couples walked out with us and I'm penning a caustic email to environmental health as we speak. I don't know what part was worse: the dog crapping in the pub, the CHEF (albeit it was his horrible dog) clearing it up or the fact he took the dog back into the kitchen with him?!?! Yuck yuck yuck. Still horrified by it, and definitely will NOT be back!!!!

Apart from that it was a lovely day. DP now freaking out my back pain is early labour. I'm either indenial or being sensible as I'm really not convinced. It's bloody sore though!

MM It might be...I had my first 11 days early and was in complete denial until my waters actually went. Everyone had told me I would go over and being the most impatient person in the world I got this into my head too so that I wouldn't drive myself nuts thinking "is this it?".

It might also be nothing though so you are right being sensible. This time I am not going to pay any attention to anything unless my waters go or I have a show (sods law I will have neither and end up giving birth with my farmer FIL as a birth partner as I won't get to hospital on time).

I'm exactly the same. Sooo impatient and resigned myself to a December baby so.any earlier is a bonus! That said after I've posted my MA paperwork tomorrow and paid my last NI bill, it's operation get baby out while DP is ashore!! I might even be tempted to DTD (unlikely though, he still hasn't got over me bursting into tears mid shag last time )

It's an emotional time (smile). I am sure someone mentioned that ingestion was the best way. Urrrggh. Indigestion is bad enough as it is.....
(My waters did break the last 2 times after dtd so do think there is something in it)

Quick hello.

Ds born at 7:34 am this morning. Woke at 4 with contractions. Easy, easy, easy birth with gas and air and epidural. Will post BS after I've had a sleep. Both Ds and I are fine. Xxx

Hi girls - congrats to all the new mummies this week, I'm still keeping up with this thread keeps me awake during 3am feeds haven't had time to find my way over to pn thread yet!!!

Cannot believe this time last week I was in the birthing pool mooing like a cow!!!!

Dottie is adorable and feeding really well though she will not sleep on her back in either the crib or travel cot - only in car seat or on my front which means I don't get much sleep!!!

Hope you have a lovely quick birth waiting xx
