[HoneyMum21]

How many babies are we going to get on this thread?

Same here cashmere, having regular uncomfortable tightenings but nothing to get excited about

Hi 2blessed and Spotty

Spotty so do u have to get up at certain times?

Watching ramsay kitchen nightmares whilst bouncing on my ball. Programme making me peckish...
cashmere and hormonal my lo thinks its party time but no tightenings yet.

2blessed I've just had two choc biccies purely for energy levels

Never sure if mine r just BH's as DP and I got jiggy earlier

Hi everyone. Bored of being awake. No pains just wide awake.

Had a phone call from mil last night which I tried desperately to hand to DH but she collared me . Because we were waiting on a call back from the diabetic midwife which never came. Apparantly I'm being treated appallingly and need to kick up a fuss at the doctors (who would tell me it's nothing to do with them and to ring the doctors ). Now I know her heart is in the right place and for whatever reason she's just worried about me and baby. But I am not stupid and if I was worried I wouldn't just sit and wait for a callback. The only reason for the call was to discuss my sugar levels since my meds were upped and I've only had 1 high reading since so I was ready to tell them I think all is ok. Especially as I have an obstetrician appointment on thurs anyway. But mil just kept going on and on and on and on and on and on and wound me up. It felt like she was treating me like a child tbh. and then there was DH sniggering at me as usually he has to our up with the phone calls, I felt like walloping him one

Sorry mammouth post, needed to get it out though. Very cathartic!

Wide awake with aurelia since 10she won't settle in her Moses basket. Loads of cluster feeding. Sooooo zzzzzz any ideas/recommendations? She just screams when put in it!

Awww stacy u sound very p**d off! MIL's are the bane of our lives

Oh dear bella she already knows what she wants- her mummy to hold her constantly

Tell me about it! She's fine in the day sleeping in it but night time seems to be a battle...!

Just so annoying to be told I should be kicking up a fuss when I feel there is no fuss to kick! If I was worried about baby then I would, but being told I should be worried when there's no reason is making me irrationally stabby!

she is far better than my xmil though so I should be greatful for small mercies, and this is her first grandchild so I should cut her some slack

congrats mummycox!

and thanks for everyone for sharing birth stories. I'm still shaking my head at you though spotty wanting to do it all again . Seriously though, I hope Felix continues to get stronger, it must be so tough.

mamapo i know its a bit of a shock re the induction - I felt that way too when they suggested it. But i agree what with everyone is saying - its a shock either way I guess! I'm sure it will go smoothly, esp given favourable cervix etc. I'm making plans for thursday evening (when mine is scheduled), and my parents are flying in for the weekend, but it still doesn't feel very real.

Feel sick today, upset tummy (too much coffee I think - had one with friends and then SIL brought one over), the usual painless tightenings. Telling myself that it all must be doing something and that hopefully means body will be almost ready and induction will go smoothly. Feel like calling up and cancelling it though.

Just had my show-eek!

walnut I have sicky days too, some days can't eat a thing! Prob happen tmorrow as had no sleep. My tightenings are sore now although not in agony

cashmere wow really??? U on your way now girl

hello 4 am club, i've never met you here before as i have a very cumbersome laptop but tonight i couldn't rest any longer.
oh hormonal and cashmere exciting...

woke a couple of hours ago with a racing heart, then woke an hour ago with what seemed like really bad trapped wind and pain in my lower back. since then this pain has repeated every 10/15mins feeling like i need to poo .
no show, no waters, (some poo), some extreme cm
is this what they call pootractions or could there be something in the offing??

I am late for the 4am club today... Ooh exciting cash are you still having tightenings?

reading that back i'm thinking maybe it sounds like it's more likely to be linked to last nights very spicy chicken!
this could be very embarrassing

X Post - I'm not sure prunella hopefully someone who's awake who has already gone through labor will be along soon

sounds very promising prunella!

yay sounds like a lore more babies on the way over the next few days.

Cashmere fingers crossed that's the start! Have you been having contractions? (just don't go pack your hospital bags as apparently that means you have another 2 + weeks ... not that I'm bitter or anything )

prunella tbh it could be, or it might not be labour lol. If they progressively get more painful and closer together it's def labour. lol

Ooh cashmere good luck! When I had my show (still in the induction suite) Zachariah emerged within 40 minutes, so Godspeed!

prunella I've been through labour basks proudly - my contractions started just like period pains and didn't show up on the monitor so no-one thought I was actually in labour. Toward the very end they radiated out towards my lower back and down my thighs and up a bit. Start timing them, although if you have a hunch don't be put off by midwives saying that you aren't close yet. As in my case, they don't necessarily know what is about to happen! Mine were between 1 and 5 minutes apart for hours so I didn't have the pattern of them starting spaced out and getting closer. They stayed roughly the same distance apart but got increasingly stronger and less bearable.

I have a bruised belly :( if I tell the hospital this then surely they will agree that there is no space left for Shrimpy and remove him? Got the best sleep all week, but think DH only just come to bed, and the house wreeks of garlic and slightly vomit like (its gross)

Pru are you still getting them? Could be a very exciting development.
Cashmere show is always a good sign, get yourself organised!

I packed my hospital bag at about 33wks, and clearly it has been more successfully at slowing progress than getting in a hot bath, 2days to EDD and all I have had is cramps from Shrimpy grabbing my bladder!

hormonal I do three hourly in the day and four hourly at night.

Ooo cashmere good luck I don't know when I had my show this time I certainly didn't see it before my waters went

Fingers crossed for others having tightenings
