Hope you're getting somewhere Gin and good luck to everyone with impending inductions/c-sections/due dates.

Had my scan eventually and all looks fine, hooray. Estimated weight 3547g/7lb 13, but I gather those estimates can be wildly inaccurate! Cardiologist tomorrow, then hopefully will get the OK to use the birth centre if all continues smoothly. Hope baby stays put until after the weekend though.

bradders85 · 30/04/2015 17:49

Thanks just I had thought 4 sweeps might have taken some effect, especially as all the midwives I've seen have all said they would be surprised if I got to induction date.....which is tomorrow!! Your nursery looks lovely :)

shiny hope dh is ok and baby stays put till he is recovered.

Bean good luck for tomorrow.

chook so happy baby has turned and you can avoid section!

Hope everyone else is well and good luck to those with any signs currently! I am booked in for induction tomorrow afternoon so have been for lunch in town, done some last minute cleaning, re-packed hospital bag (for about the 5th time) had a relaxing bath and will soon be ordering take away!

Thanks apple, blondie and bradders it's a relief!

piglet hooray for your good scan news!

bradders hopefully things may get moving through the night, so you don't have to be induced!

Oooh bradders you must have a very content baby in there that does not want to be disturbed ha! All the best for tomorrow, how exciting!

Good luck to kitty and kitti hope you both start getting some more positive signs that labour is imminent!!

piglet 7lb 13 is a lovely weight!! Glad all is well with the scan too!!

Yay to baby being in head down position chook bet you are so happy!!

Ooh so this afternoon DH and I finished renovating the chest of drawers for the nursery and transferred all the baby's clothes, toys and toiletries into drawers. Then I talked DH through everything in each of the hospital bags and we went to Tesco to buy a few final bits. By the end of the shop I was getting really strong BH(??) which ckntinued all the way home. They briefly slowed whilst we ate but still getting pains now and baby is really active so wondering if this might be the start of something? Think I might head into a bath for a bit and see what happens...

Good luck for tomorrow bradders and bean Flowers

Chookford · 30/04/2015 21:57

Good luck just keep us updated!! Smile

Sunshinesaz86 · 30/04/2015 22:00

Oooh that's exciting just keep us posted!

And yes good luck to bradders and bean more babies soon!! Eeek exciting!

Glad babies turned chook wonderful news!

Sunshinesaz86 · 30/04/2015 22:02

Ooh just I've just remembered your cat was acting friendly yesterday I wonder if they just have that 6th sense!! Good luck hope it's the real deal!

longestlurkerever · 30/04/2015 23:01

Go Just!

Justyouwaitandsee · 30/04/2015 23:06

Aww thanks everyone! Don't want to get you all excited - after a long warm bath things seem to have settled down. Going to try and get some sleep now but feel it might have all been a false alarm (although hopefully taking my body and baby one step closer to being ready for the real thing...) sunshine - yup cats still acting strange. Sometimes all over us, the next very territorial of 'her space' - will see what develops I guess...hope everyone else is doing ok?!

cuphat · 01/05/2015 05:44

Great news chook.

Good luck bean and bradders.

Kittiker, I'm having a pregnancy massage tomorrow so I really hope they don't get things moving in general as I want to keep baby in here for another three weeks! Though I hope it works for you, of course!

I'm at the struggling to sleep well stage now.

leanne963 · 01/05/2015 05:51

cuphat Same here! Slept solidly til 4.30 now wide awake and off out for lunch with friends so I'm gonna be knackard lol.

Think baby shifted last night as stomach went really soft before bed and had Los of strong kicks right out front by my belly button!

leanne963 · 01/05/2015 05:52

And OH MY FRIGGING GOD IT'S MAY!!!!!!!

Officially in our birth month.

Nope. Not scary. Not scary at all........

CostaLotta · 01/05/2015 06:27

Just popping in to say how rubbish I am at keeping up on MN... I'm much better on facebook Smile

Leanne that was my first thought today too... It's may!! Hopefully every baby will be born this month. I'm 36+3 so feel verrrrry far back... Although DS did arrive at 38/40 so who knows!

Anyone else looking forward to royal baby news? I wonder who's baby will share a birthday, there's bound to be someone! One of my friends babies was born same day as George and she got the little silver coin.

Midwife appt today! I'm home birthing so think we discuss that today and hopefully she will tell me ive got enough towels and shower curtains Grin

leanne963 · 01/05/2015 06:37

costa I'm 36+5 so I feel like I have ages to go too but I hope she is a few weeks early as I'm getting impatient ha! 38 weeks is a nice time to arrive! Hope yours arrives early again :)

applecore0317 · 01/05/2015 06:38

Eeeek... Can't believe that it's now May!! Costa am 36+2, so also far back Smile

I wonder if they will induce Kate

gingerfluffball · 01/05/2015 07:09

Haha Leanne my first thought today too! May babies commence! Smile

Sending speedy delivery thoughts to everyone due around now.

Justyouwaitandsee · 01/05/2015 07:11

Haha Leanne - your post made me laugh so much! I am so pleased I stayed on in the May Group - don't think I could have handled the wait so well, while watching all the April babies arriving (can you believe the April group is on thread 18 or something - dont know how they manage it?! I thought our threads moved fast!!)

Last night was definitely a false alam - after the long bath, I slept straight through until DH left around 6am and no more pains since. Guess we now have to see if the original due date I calculated (4th May) turns out to be more accurate. If not, then my first sweep is booked in for 5th.

So pleased that everyone can now say they are due this month!!! Grin

FlowersFlowersFlowers - for everyone, for getting this far! Smile

Chookford · 01/05/2015 07:35

Haha yep it's May ladies, let's get these babies evacuated this month!! Eeek that does sound scary doesn't it, I'm due in 23 days, shit balls!! But I'm sure this one will follow its sister and be late, bet I go into June!

Good luck everyone who is having some signs/inductions or sections if we have any? It's Friday hooray!

TwinkleTee · 01/05/2015 07:46

Holy Guacamole! it is May today isn't it!

leanne and chook we are on the same due dates, so we have a little while to go, but STILL!

Not scared, nope, nada, no scaredy cats here...... eeeeeeeeee!

Go mammas who are having signs/sweeps/inductions soon.... Keep us up to date

Blondie87 · 01/05/2015 08:08

Wooooo baby month!

BeanCalledPickle · 01/05/2015 08:12

Leaving for hospital now. ARGH. Am bloody third though so will be a long day. DD very upset and has been awake a lot. I'm shattered. And so it begins....

KittyVonCatsington · 01/05/2015 08:17

Hurray for May!!!! Star

Just-same thing happened to me on Tuesday so I feel your frustration! DH and I even tried a bit of DTD in the hope it might kick start things off. Nope. Nothing's happening!! Well, our babies have to arrive soon-not sure I can carry around this weight for much longer!!!!!!!

Ha ha for towels and shower curtains Costa! Just like the films! I have started to sleep with a towel underneath me just in case....

2 days till EDD day!!!!!!!

mumxof3x · 01/05/2015 08:23
