Good luck Just!

Threesoundslikealot · 03/05/2015 09:50

Good luck, Just! Today is the EDD I had for my first baby ( who turned up 14 days later) so it's the date I always think is great for having babies!

I'm 39+1 and for the last week have had very mild tightenings and contractions in the evenings. Nothing else but hoping things are preparing themselves.

gingerfluffball · 03/05/2015 10:26

Hope things are moving along for you Just!

Exciting hearing about all the new babies... I would namecheck all you lovely new mums but can't go back through on annoying app, gah! Enjoy your baby snuggles, I am very jealous! Smile

Absolutely nothing happening here, not even the odd BH. Resigning myself to going the full two weeks overdue as can't deal with the impatience!

Threesoundslikealot · 03/05/2015 10:31

Ginger, just relaxing about it is the best thing you can do! Stress can stop labour starting. Make lots of plans for the next few days. Lots of bubble baths/naps/swims/walks - whatever relaxes you.

KittyVonCatsington · 03/05/2015 11:07

Great advice Three!
Trying to do the same here-would really like to meet my baby now though Wink

It's my Due Date today!!!!

Sunshinesaz86 · 03/05/2015 11:10

Happy due date kitty fingers crossed something happens soon for u!

And good luck anyone overdue or currently in labour! More babies soon!'

Seekingmiracles · 03/05/2015 11:16

mumxof3x · 03/05/2015 11:42

Had a bad night with leo last night lol pretty tired this morning as ds3 also got up 4x between 11.30pm and 4am too. X

Blondie87 · 03/05/2015 11:47

Ah Kitty hope something happens for you soon! At least there is definitely a two week ceiling now!

Mumx3 I am in awe of you managing with four kids! Wow.

Chookford · 03/05/2015 12:07

kitty hope we have some more news later today! Happy due date and anyone else due today..

mum you are doing an amazing jobs with 4 Young boys to look after, your superwoman!

Thanks for the tips on blocked nose, I have tried most of them just have to resign myself to the fact I may have it until after baby arrives, hope I don't go overdue now! Hmm

BeanCalledPickle · 03/05/2015 12:08

Hi all. We came home yesterday evening. I had my stylist in beforehand and there is obviously no way I left in leggings covered in sick, hunched over and a giant mass of bleeding fluid retention. Oh no. Grin

On getting home I regretted it a bit. I'd been pushing to go but the exertion 30 hours after a section was quite overwhelming and I probably should have stayed. I was so desperate to get home to see DD that didn't really think being in hospital makes life easier!

Baby Juno ok I hope. I've forgotten everything about last time and so am dealing with her constantly wanting to feed and getting frustrated at lack of milk. She had formula in the night. I'm hoping milk arrives soon!

It's hard work. Can someone remind me if it gets easier and when?!

Good luck just cant wait to meet your beautiful baby Grin and good luck kitty I hope today is the day for you too. I'm 39+2 today and desperately wishing for labour to start. And yes tori I have exactly the same atm. Am hoping its a sign of things to come.

bean make sure you take it easy. Probably easier said than done with two but do take care of yourself, C section is major surgery Flowers

applecore0317 · 03/05/2015 12:43

Happy due date kitty

Tori I've had no issues with constipation over the last few weeks, has made a nice change! I assumed it was because I was slowly coming of the progesterone pessaries, but good to know that progesterone decreases anyway at this stage.

Glad you are now home bean

Am meant to be at my cousins christening, but struggled to find anything nice to wear that I felt comfortable in. All shoes are uncomfortable because of my swollen feet, didn't want bare legs in church and flip flops and just had a monumental hormonal cry when we got in the car, so have stayed behind to sort myself out and will joing them in an hour or so... but to be honest I am feeling sorry for myself and would rather stay at home. Think it's down to the long day I had yesterday for my best friends hen... :*(

leanne963 · 03/05/2015 14:01

I am so excited for everyone! I am so happy we are all going through this together, I love coming on here and checking how you are all doing :) :)

three I had two baths yesterday it seems to be the only thing that stops my restless legs! But you are right, just remaining stress free is good for helping labour and luckily I feel very happy and excited at the moment! The only time I get stressed is when I go on facebook lol

Happy due date kitty hope baby knows they are expected soon and gets a move on ;)

mum you really are an inspiration, 4 young children must be exhausting but you still look so fresh and pretty!!!

Aw bean take it easy and put your feet up :) you will be great I am sure, this is he most difficult part now, but once you get adjusted to the big change bit you will take everything in your stride!

tori I have been quite lucky actually and have only had a couple of episodes of constipation but I am definitely feeling more loose over the past few weeks!

Bless you apple it's do hard to feel glamorous and bubbly in these later stages of pregnancy! I swear it is true that baby girls steal their mothers looks as I do not feel like I look like myself at all through this pregnancy! Big hugs!

FeelingBlessed77 · 03/05/2015 17:05

has anyone else suffered really bad pain when moving. it is in my lower abdomen, and feels like I need a big poo. sorry tmi. is this how contractions feel?

Posted on the Facebook group but wanted to post here too.
I had my lovely baby boy, Maximilian this afternoon at 1.21pm. Weighing 7lb 4oz. The day before his due date Grin couldn't be happier Grin

Sunshinesaz86 · 03/05/2015 18:34

Congrats lina have seen on Facebook but wanted to say it on here too!

I have had the most serious fanny daggers and pressure today! Definitely think baby has well and truly dropped, he/she head was engaged nearly two weeks ago and been bouncing on my ball for 2 days and done a big clean today. Think this may of helped with the descent? Lol! Still no other signs tho! Boooo Sad

WasabiNuts · 03/05/2015 18:40

Congratulations, Lina! Flowers

Hope things are progressing for you, Just.

apple, if you made it out, hope you are now able to chill.

Hello to everyone else!
