Thanks for thread title idea hedgehogsong

I wonder if this will be the final antenatal club thread???

well that sounds rubbish :( Any point giving the hospital a ring and seeing what they say? Might make you feel better if you just get checked out?

I'm tempted! But I wouldn't know what to say.. 'My hip hurts and I'm grumpy. Can I come in?'
I think I just have to wait it out and do some exercises to try and rotate the baby. I'm definitely feeling like taking myself away in the dark and being alone!

I think id just want everything checked tbh, but then im anxious anyway! I hope either you feel better or baby makes an apperance soon!

Thanks
I've been listening to hypnobirthing music in the dark on my own and feel a lot better, just some time to myself without DH and DD asking me questions helps. It can't be long now, for either of us!

Im having lots of random pains but nothing in any specific area, some in my back, side, front... just wish they would organise themselves into some sort of contraction! Glad youre feeling better, going into hospital feeling how you were probably wouldnt have helped you relax!

Hopefully some pains are a good sign!

How are we doing this morning Hedgehog? I had a massive cramping pain that woke me up at 5 this morning, managed to get back to sleep for a bit and now just a bit crampy...

Is it just us now?

helloooooo anyone else? hotfuzzra? strawberry? lizzie?

Might just be us then arkk. I was cramping in the night too, felt very promising, then my dd1 woke up and was feeling poorly and everything stopped!

Oooh I've lost my plug!!!

I'm currently on a monitor at hospital cause I hadn't felt her move but her heartbeat is good thankfully

Ooooh! I'm jelous! Lol

I hope all is ok Arkk and DH wiggles for you soon!

That was supposed to be *she. Obviously your partner wiggling at you is not going to improve the situation...

I am with pains since 3 am and have lost the plug (I suppose it's a plug anyway!). Had a hospital appointment today about induction if I don't go in labour. Thought I still had time till end of the week and then suddenly being booked for induction/ monitoring chat caused a nervous breakdown last night, was sobbing aloud for quite some time. That was the first time I have been crying during pregnancy and the baby went wiggling like mad. Thought I might have put her in distress... And then woke up tonight from the pain.
The hospital appointment turned out to be quite different than expected, they let me go home to see how it goes next 24 hours. Still going strong with period like pains. Hope this is it, although it's not exactly the nicest I have felt in my life...
Been in front of TV and on news there was a piece that in MW lead care there are several times less medical interventions than in hospitals. Fingers crossed this doesn't stop until the happy end.

hedgehog well done, keep it up! arkk everything crossed for you! Good to know that the baby is well anyway!

Hello girls
I am still here, also had pains and aches overnight but nothing further today.
So fed up now. Another attempt sweep tomorrow, induction booked for Sunday :-(

Still in hospital. Waiting for the doctor to come and decide if I'm going to be induced or not tonight

Oh wow Arkk that's a shock I'm sure! Do you have everything wit you that you need? Car seat for baby, hospital bag etc?

I really hope things get moving strawberry and hotfuzzra. We are all trying to get baby out by the weekend I guess then! today is really my last chance of a home birth, I'm so eager for things to pick up!

Got hospital bag, car seat etc is all at home but dp can go and collect it if needs be! I would just like to know what's going on now. We've been waiting for 4 hours!

It's so dull waiting on the ward! Has baby moved?

Contractions are a go here, fingers crossed they do something useful!

Eeee exciting hedgehog! Baby has moved a bit but I'm def being induced. Arrrgghh not ready!

Ooh good luck Arkk!!

Good luck ark and hedgehog!!!!

Exciting!!!! Good luck!!!

Still in hospital. They're not gentle when they put the pessary in are they! Blimey! Finally had it in about midnight. Madam was having a party in there so made it very hard to get a trace till late. Sent DP home for some sleep and managed a few hours myself. I want to have baby and go home now!
