morning all. checking in. glad to hear our first babies are doing well!! sc here 38+2. I've found this pg really easy (im 26) until I hit week 37 and have been thoroughly miserable. very unlike me so think its mainly hormones. just want my baby to hurry up and arrive now so badly!!

Permission to moan?

I just went my baby to be here!!

I've tried everything; raspberry leaf, hot food, birthing ball, long walks, lots of sex and nothing is working

I'm also sick of people saying to me 'you can't rush, baby will arrive when THEY'RE ready and not a minute before...' Ugh!! Shut up!!!

sigh

Dd just brought me an apple to eat, I said no thank you darling I'm alright at the moment and she said 'you need to eat an apple to get your baby out mummy'

Induction by apple.... Can't blame her for trying lol

Aww how sweet Nat!

Morning all...felt dog rough all last night, achy joints like a 90 year old and shooting pains in my Foof,I have period type pains this morning.

I've not felt the baby move all evening, last night or this morning.

Tried drinking cold water lying down etc, just had my b'fast and still zilch. I used my Doppler at 7am as I was concerned and heard a hb, how long do you think I should leave it before calling the maternity assessment unit?

Give them a ring now flyer.

I think people have been advised to have a cold drink and lay down for two hours but you have done that. No point sitting at home worrying, go and get reassured.

I would say now too flyer u should be feeling regular movements at our stage of pregnancy

Thanks I will call them now....x

SC at 37 +1 here. officially allowed home birth now, but to be honest couldn't care less about how and where just want the baby out.

so excited to hear about babies, can't quite believe we made it this far.

can't scroll back to post individual replies but am posting noe or I will miss the thread at the speed they go!

does anyone else go to bed each night hoping to be woken by contractions?

Flyer- call them now. probably just baby being quiet prior to labour or changed position but needs checking out on a monitor definately

Please go Flyer the worst that can happen is you have to spend the morning at the Clinic, but you will feel so much better knowing all is ok. So far very MW I have talked to al said they would rather we went in and all ok than stayed at home.

Oops every MW

Hi all,

I'm still cooking. EDD 30 Sept by scan but 4 Oct by my dates (I know when I ovulated) one if my colleagues had her baby the other day and has used our name. Grr! Just waiting for the announcement from the other one who was induced yesterday and hoping she hasn't used it too! Went for a long walk yesterday and had some period style pains last night but nothing since. Can someone please explain how to join the FB group? I've asked 3 times but assume as the thread goes so fast it's been missed every time!

Hope all is ok flyer and yoive jad chance to call. Definitely worth getting checked even just for reassurance. hope your feeling better soon.

Happy Birthday nelly ! heres hoping its enough of an incentive for baby to be born today

Good Luck tomorrow jethro
and hope all is ok with ruby

SC here at 38+1 and have gone from being desperate to get baby out to being ok if ahe waits another week. In laws are coming to visit next weekend and am hoping they might have DS so I can arrange a meal for just me and DH. would be lovely to get out together before this baby is born. No doubt any plan making at this stage will encourage baby to make an appearance sooner than later. also I got a lie in this morning, no way thats going to happen when there are 2 to contend with Saying that if any on my horrible aches and pains coke back this week I am very prepared to get back on operation get baby out...

pseudo how are you feeling today?

So lovely to hear how well it went with baby meeting DS tarlia your picture made me well up. Hope your recovering well and pain is better today x

doobeeded inbox me your real name and a description of your display picture and I will add u as a friend then I can add u to the group x

Hope you get some reassurance soon, Flyer x

Sorry you're so frustrated, untitled - you've been on maternity leave for a while too, haven't you? It must feel like a loooong wait.

SC @ 37 weeks today (is the 13th the busiest due date?!) and I'm quite glad of the distraction of the inspection at school, tbh. Should get me to 38 weeks with me hardly noticing, I hope!
Though I did have a bonkers dream that the October Bus was being inspected last night; I had to get together all of our maternity notes for them to look at (the fact this would involve days of travelling and a passport seemed unimportant!) and we gained a poster who would only write in Chinese. Also we had an evil version of a Mary Poppins-type character who was meant to be looking after all the babies.
I need a sleep to recover from my sleep!

I think the 13th is a very busy date shire it's my date too.

Flyer - hope you went in. They really don't treat it as trivial (and they told me off for not going in earlier!). Also, the earlier you go in, the faster the triage queue might be.

Thanks Natalie. I've sent you a message.

Guess who's just woken up as I was getting ready to go to the assessment unit! Sods law, called and they told me to go down. Now lying down counting movements whilst mumsnetting! If they are reduced today I will defo pop down this afternoon/ early evening, hoping it was just having a quiet spell.

Glad it's moving again flyer but do go if you are not happy it is back to normal

Hope everything is ok flyer

Been doing some reading on turning breech babies so this morning spent a few minutes playing some music on my phone between my legs, as they say babies may move towards the sound. Tried some classic pop - Pray by Take That. Didn't work and felt a bit daft but might try some other musical genres over the next few days. Maybe lo is more into Beethoven than Barlow.

I'm also another one due on the 13tj October

Just spent over an hour catching up after only being away for one day!

Happy birthday Nelly!

Clapham I hope you're feeling better, I cried on Friday when I went to surprise DP by getting him from work but he had decided to go to the pub. Silly me. Extra tears because the petrol was low. He came and sat with me and patted me on my head

Flyer I have downloaded the "chilled r&b collection" on the iPad. More baby making music than anything else I think! Hope the midwives don't make judgements based in music choice!

Nat hope you're in less pain. You're my due date buddy, I want to evict now I think- although I can't see anything happening for weeks! Hope you hold out till your MW is back. Wish I had a special midwife
Your DD's apple idea was v sweet, maybe that's what you've missed out untitled, hope things get moving for you.

Tarlia glad you have baby Tarlia back and hope the wind disperses soon- sounds like agony.

Falcon and Legally you must be so happy having babies snuggled up at home, I keep looking in the Moses basket as if something or someone is going to appear in there!

Heffa are you feeling any better today?

Orange if it gets to the point where you think your rings need to come off, maybe ask DH to remove them and to put them back on again for you after baby is born? Might make you feel ok about taking them off...

Flyer glad baby is moving again, hope he keeps it up (special brew drunks are never wrong )

Shire your dream made me I hope your inspection goes well this week!

MrsO I have visions if you squatting over a speaker!!

DP has been to the gym and come back. I am still in the same position with the iPad wishing you all a relaxing Sunday
