Due in June 2006 - The Final Countdown!

[Laura032004]

Just starting off the new thread! Let's hope this brings us lots of new babies :)

carwillin has her baby! See birth announcements....

41wks 2days overdue now, guna be in a state of shock when my labour does start, v.anxious to meet my baby now, slightly fed up :( want it to be over now, i wana be getting woke up and changing nappies?!?!, not surer whether im even getting show now because its changed colour?!?! soz 2 much info.
it is v.hot at the moment for us ladies to bear, so im just going to sit in a shaded corner of the garden and try and take my mind of everythying, hoping something starts. x x x
ladies dont clean too much just relax because men take advantage of our nesting instincts?!?!

666 good advice about not cleaning too much, I have had a bit of a spurt today but will chill out this afternoon in the sunshine. dh is off work today, will let him finish off.

my stats:
me: 35
dh:35
dd:3 at end of aug
due:3/6
sex:unknown
live:north east

midwife came and did a membrane sweep at home this morning as I'm 40+6 today. It was uncomfortable but not painful. She said cervix was very soft and baby very low down so I'm hopeful this might start things off.

dd was 4 days early and a quick birth, can't believe I'm still here. Me and dh have been having sex in the hope of getting things going but nothing happeining, bit alkward but enjoyable and sleep great afterwards (until I need the loo!)

Have been booked in for an induction on sat 17th at 3pm, hope I don't last that long.

Congrats to arrivals, to those still waiting stock your freezer with ice lollys and magnums and sit outside in the sun.

Ooooh, Hun, what a lovely idea. I seem to have developed a bit of a thing for cider lollies from the ice-cream van, may have to buy up all her stock as i'm not due till 27th!

Congratulations to carwillin :)

Hope everyone is feeling well today :) It's really hot down here in Cornwall (sure it is all over the country!). I've only got one strawberry split left, so I think a Tesco run will have to be done this afternoon! I'm getting through kilos of carrots, apples and nectarines at the moment trying to quell my hunger - I'm starving all of the time!

Starting to feel a bit more ready now. I've semi packed a hospital bag 'just in case' (hoping for a home birth though) and washed my cloth nappies. Just need a baby now! I'm not getting impatient yet, but I've still got nearly three weeks until I'm due. Just enjoying my time with DS, whilst it's just the two of us.

Thank you Mrs B. Good luck to you all. You have my sympathies being 9mths in this heat. It's hard enough being 6.5mths!

just a quick moan........its sooo hot!?!¬?!?!?

yes 666, i've been lying around panting all day (you don't think I'm in labour & heading for a whopping great orgasm do you?...oh no, sorry, that's another thread)

lol....um wel chances are if your blokr=es there its an orgasm, if hes not your going into labour ....or its da weather!?!?

that was bloke sorry?!?!!?

Looks like bubbly1973 will have had her baby by now judging by \link{http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk?topicid=49&threadid=181401&stamp=060610111851\this thread} :)

Hope it's all gone well for you :) :) :)

Ooohh, and blobsmummy has had her baby too! See the \link{http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk?reverse=1&topicid=1370&threadid=181481&rnd=4102199276895847\birth announcement thread} :)

Congratulations to blobsmummy. :)

Big congrats to blobsmummy and bubbly on your new arrivals. Sorry to hear about your experience blobsmummy, hope everything works out, thinking of you.

I am now due date +4 and I am getting more and more fed up as the days pass. I never thought I would say this but the nice weather is not helping. No signs of anything happening. Why won't my baby make an appearance?! I'm really happy of course for everyone that is having their bundles delivered but I also can't help feeling worse, especially when due dates are after mine! ARGH.

I hope baby appears soon but at least before fathers day so DH can do his proud father bit.

i hope mine cums too he was supposed to make an appearance in may?!?!?!
the heat is unbearable for me......im just fed up with it now.....vbab78 i know how you are feeling, cant wait to see your birth announcement. x x

congratulatons to all the new mummy's.
I am 39+4 and still no show or any type of pain. I am not to bothered at the moment as i have a bad cold and throat infection and have had it for the last 4 days and ds also has it and has a very high feaver and is draining any energy i can find so dont think i could cope at all with a baby as well.
dh has been working any overtime he can get to pay for making up his pay when baby s born.

Hopee eveyone else is well.

40+4 (in a few minutes) fed up, too hot, DH snoring, DD screaming with some kind of viral spotty itchy thing, fed up fed up fed up. And there I was foolishly thinking 'oh early June won't be too hot to labour......' Yeah right....

Hmmm, well in this house ds & dd are being very sweet, but dp is STILL snoring.....

hi girls! hope you are all well! sorry i haven't been on earlier to tell you about the birth of my baby. i was in hospital until friday!

ethan thomas smet singleton was born 3/6/06 weighing 11 lbs 1 oz, natural birth with only a little gas and air between 7 and 9cm.

after the birth i needed membrane removing as i was bleeding heavily. managed to avoid needing to go into theatre, but it was horrible and was grateful for the gas & air. i needed a blood transfusion a few days later as my iron level was only 6.4.

ethan spent a few days on the neonatal unit because his breathing was fast and they feared he had an infection. they did lots of blood tests and a lumbar puncture. all came back clear. he had anti-biotics for 5 days. it was very stressful seeing him on monitors and on the neaonatal unit, but all ended well. on friday we were finally allowed to go home. he's gained on his birth weight already and feeding & sleeping well.

Congratulations lilacbump!
Glad to see you and your baby are okay.
What an impressive size!
Enjoy your time at home together.

Congratulations Lilac, he's a beauty.

lilac bump: he is gorgeous, congratulations you've made my day!??!

im 41wks 5days, had my 3rd sweep today and everything is fine, im 3cm already just need some contractions now.........feel quite fragile now, dont much like those membrane sweeps :(
hope everybody is well. thinkin of everybody with thier new bundles or who is still waiting x x x

Congratulations lilacbump. So happy for you. Also a big WOW firstly for having an 11 pound 1 baby, secondly a natural birth and thirdly with only a little gas and air .

666mummy good news that you are 3cm . My fingers are crossed for you.

No change here apart from baby feeling lower maybe and more trips to the loo. Now due date +5. Not that i'm counting or anything . My one and only sweep is getting closer (Tuesday) and no baby in sight .

just some to comlain to someone who gets it about the heat. My feet and hands feel hot and swollen, I feel like a sweaty whale...v attractive.
Thought my waters may have broken yesterday afternoon but no such luck, think it's other leakage (embarrassing). Have been told to keep a pad on and see what happens. Still no sign of contractions so thinking it's a false alarm.
Can't imagine what I'll be like if I go overdue, bad enough already!!! Think it's cos of the weather, I just want to get it over with now and meet my little one. DH trying to be patient with me but I'm like a bear with a sore head when I'm this hot and can't sleep. Feel sorry for him.

Congratulations lilac, 11lb sounds scary, and with only gas and air!! He's lovely.

I'm 41+1 today, membrane sweep on friday doesn't seemed to have worked, still nothing whatsoever. Just hope something does before induction on sat.

666 - exciting news, keep us posted.
