Congrats Twiglet 
. Crikey 9cms was cutting it a bit fine. Lovely midwife too!
Lol ThisIs. Your poor OH
I think I might give the Tens machine a miss as it didn't really do much for me.
Off to scoff a sausage sandwich before my 40 week midwife appt. Due date today so feeling bit meh. I've now readjusted it in my mind to Sunday which was the original one before the scan moved it. It's probably more accurate as I definitely know the date of conception.

Congratulations twiglet and utopian
Am definitely becoming a green eyed monster now 
Tidying, dog walking and supermarket today.
Got serious preggo rage trying to find a space at the supermarket. Waiting for a parent and child space and as people came back to their spaces it was an OAP couple followed by 4 grown women followed by another OAP couple. I really can't fit into normal spaces myself at the moment let alone lifting the 2 year old in and out of the car, grrrr!!
40+4....

Massive congrats Twiglet & Utopian !
Gosh babies really do their own thing, don't they? You don't realise till the birth how in charge they are!
God the after pains during feeding are so weird. The ones in your uterus feel odd enough but nobody told me you'd feel your fanjo tightening too!

Congratulations Utopian and TwigletFiend! Does that make 2 babies a day for the last 2 days, or have I got muddled? If so, any takers for a hat-trick and have another 2 arriving tomorrow? Don't all push at once!
Haven't - I thought the same with the mama tens too. I did the brief trial that the booklet suggested and could only get up to a3 before it got a bit much. I dread to think how much pain I'll need to be in to crank it up to c15...
WorkFreeWannabe - hope everything is OK and you're coping. Will keep everything crossed for things to kick off overnight.
I'm pretty sure that baby blondie has moved from her fully engaged position to something less favourable for birth (bump changed shape, not waddling so much, able to cross my legs for first time in ages). I'm only 38+5 so guess there's time for her to move back but I'm bit disappointed as felt that we were all ready and now we're not, if you see what I mean. Sigh.
Hope everyone else is well and coping.

Ahhhh, Twiglet that's a lovely pic! Really makes me impatient to meet my bean and also feeling slightly envious

Congratulations to all the new babies so far!
Long time lurker here, it's been so exciting seeing the new babies arriving every day!
I'm 39+2, had a sweep yesterday and was told I was 3cm already, before the sweep
lost my mucus plug over the afternoon and had mild cramping all day. Then had what I thought were 3 big contractions 5-10 mins apart in the evening. Was all action stations putting DD to bed, phoning my mum who's 2.5 hours away, getting another babysitter on standby then.....nothing. Managed to sleep ok and have had a few twinges again today, lost more mucus plug. Got my mum to drive 100miles to keep me company but am just really frustrated as I thought it would all kick off again today! Surely if I was 3cm before the sweep something must be happening. Can you lose your mucus plug and still go on for weeks? I wouldn't be bothered as I'm still before my due date if I hadn't got all excited about being 3cm already. Also everyone keeps telling me how second labours are quick and we are about 30mins from the hospital so I'm anxious about not leaving it too late! Come on baby make your mind up!
