dating 36 weeks is good in terms of babies development. Good luck. I hope all goes well!

EggsMichelle · 20/11/2012 00:13

Good luck dated thinking of you!

emily I've been up since 2 in the bath because of it - it's so intense and isn't going? Currently halfway up the stairs unable to move...

Good luck dated thinking of you!

Huge congrats Pidj!!! Well done!! Grin What a marathon effort. So glad there is another one to join honey.

Oh dated I hope it's going well! I know it seems really scary (I remember going in to be induced!) but soon you will have a baby and everything will be worth it.

Feeling crud today. More back/hip/pelvic cramps/pains but no more contractions. Had such a bad calf cramp this morning that I've pulled my muscle badly and have been limping. On top of that feel really anxious about everything, like there may be something wrong. Called my obstetrician and found out she is away at the moment. They stuffed my appointments (again) and have no record of my appointment that I have scheduled for Friday. Have got a last minute appointment tomorrow at midday. I just want heartbeat and BP checked! Going for a long walk with DH (home early from work) and DD soon, hopefully will feel better after.

SpottyTeacakes · 20/11/2012 06:24

Hope everything's going well dated the exact same thing happened with me with dd I was 36+1. She was in SCBU for a bit but nothing major no breathing difficulties or anything.

I've also had horrendous back and hip pain also sharp pains really low down at the front often when I stand up etc worse when I've been spending all day doing housework!

Clarella · 20/11/2012 06:24

Oh goodness dating all the very best we'll be thinking of you!

Good luck dating. Is it just me or are we now at the stage where every morning I wake up thinking there will be news

Mummycox · 20/11/2012 07:18

Thinking of you dating

How was your first night pidj?

Walnut8 · 20/11/2012 07:46

spotty do you think the pains are contraction related or just overdoing it? I don't know whether to take it easy or do more to spur things on! I hope yours aren't too bad today.

Amazing how many babies we are going to have before it even hits December! Apart from seconds who else is being induced soon? Sorry I can't remember!

SpottyTeacakes · 20/11/2012 07:51

It's a bit of both. The ones when walking are definitely just over doing it but the ones in my back in the evening are more like contractions hopefully they're doing something! Being induced three weeks Thursday....

WillYouDoTheFandango · 20/11/2012 07:58

Good luck Dating 36 + 4 isn't that early. Hope everything goes well and they look after you both x

Good luck dating, hope all is well.

Congratulations Pidj hope you've been discharged and are home having lovely cuddles.

Dating so sorry everything has happened so suddenly for you, it really is best for both you and baby though. I've no idea how I'd feel if I was in your shoes! It's easy to say you're fed up and want baby now, but suddenly getting that wish, and unable to change your mind back? Scary beyond belief! All will be well I'm sure, 36w is a good strong age for little'un.

Anyone else looking set to pop? COD any news? How were your boys last night after school? I'm sure there are others who are having proper symptoms too, but baby brain means I can't remember.

I had one solitary BH last night... Woke me up, but passed quite quickly. I think I'll be getting much closer to my due date, if not going over. It's good I guess, still don't have everything for baby :)

PrunellaDeVille · 20/11/2012 08:48

good luck Dated

certainly looking set to pop stacks but probably more likely to just topple over. took a new photo yesterday which looks pretty unfeasible and yet i'm only just under 38wks and have got the potential to carry on growing for weeksConfused.

brooke hope you've recovered from your nasty sounding stitch pain - did you make it off the stairs during the night?
