I don't know what I'm doing but seen the message saying another thread was needed. I don't know what to add to this but though.

Erm. I'm Derek btw. 35 week on Thursday and due 6/10/16

Sorry but I have no idea what I'm doing 😂

fresh I'm tempted to do some squats to get things going but I'm afraid I'll just fall over! Pressure down below feels so weird!

dizzy got some ferocious daggers today too - I wouldn't mind if I knew it was doing SOMETHING! wish I had a bath at home - just showers for me.

I have spd I'm scared if I squat my pelvis May shatter ....

Could not live without a bath

I wouldn't live somewhere without one! It's bad enough on holiday!

Is anyone else really anxious about getting the house clean enough? I'm getting really stressed out :0

Yikes fresh! SPD sounds a nightmare - did you have it with previous pgs? Will it go away soon after having the baby?

November sounds like the nesting instinct kicking in. I'm obsessed with the laundry atm - I feel like I need that laundry basket completely empty and I want to wash the clothes as soon as there is something in there

Fresh I'm with you with the necessity to have a bath in the house. No way I'd be without it- especially at the moment.. sorry you don't have one Lillian- my wheat bag that I heat in the microwave or the tens machine are my other favourite items at the moment to help with the other pains..

SPD and shocking hip pain put me on crutches around 30 weeks! So definitely no squats for me either Lillian
Everyone keeps telling me it goes away soon after.. let's hope so.

I keep trying to stay awake later at night so I have fewer painful 'get ups' for the loo in the night when spd has made everything seize up.

Had spd with DC 2,3 and now this one. I wonder if it was triggered by having 1+2 close together. Fell pregnant with DC2 when DC1 was about 6/7 months.

It has pretty much vanished once I've given birth before however certain things can make it flare back up e.g. pushing toddler up a hill in pushchair

My stomach is making fucking well strange noises. I've seen other people post about clicks and pops coming from your bump. I now have this it's so noisy. I also have a strange gurgling sound but my stomach as in where the food goes feels fine?

God knows but it's strange.

Dizzy how bad is getting up in the night! I have to use the door frame!

Fresh its bad! Twice I have stumbled sideways and knocked the bedroom light on trying to put one foot in front in the other! The worst is if i have slept quite well and I'm busting for a wee at the same time. I swear I think we've turned 90!

The other awful situation is trying to slide ANYTHING across the floor with your foot- do you find that?

I'm also up to 7 pillows including a v shaped one and a big worm/number 9 shaped pillow! - my hubby doesn't need sleep or space in the bed anyway does he?! :(

Ooh Derek might beat us Monday c sections to it! Hope all goes well Derek!

Very nervous for tomorrow Good luck Taffeta for yours!

I'm still waiting. Birth partner sent home as likely it will be tomorrow or as late as Wednesday!

Good luck for the c sections. kariana and Taffeta

Hope you're not waiting too long derek

Thanks Dizzy.

I'm wide awake. Need to phone the maternity ward at 6 to check situation re section and get a time. I should be asleep but am nervous and excited all at once.

Good luck Kariana, and also to Derek and anyone else who pops today

Waters broken

Contractions are coming quite quick. She went from been free from pelvis to only feeling shoulders in an hour!

Looks like things moving along now Derek hope your birth partner gets there quick!!!

Good luck today kariana and taffeta !!!

3 thread babies coming today how exciting!

Period pains galore last night I was convinced things were kicking off for me. Lots of pressure down below too. But slept through and nothing again this morning ...

Any progress overnight fresh?

Still on ward but contractions are stronger and longer

Woke about four with bad back ache and period pains but managed go back to sleep

Woke at half 7 and was sick, some period pains and lots of discharge

Feel really tired and kids are all being really wingey which is not helpful

Keep going Derek!

Good luck kariana and taffeta

School run done. Massive attack of fanny daggers. I do hope the pain I've been in for weeks means a nice short easy birth ...

Good luck today ladies!!

I'll be watching movies and eating toast as have nothing going on here until school run

I have got a clean-a-thon going on here!

Trying to stay on my feet in hope it encourages baby to vacate!

It must be the nesting instinct fresh! Labour must be imminent!

Hope things are moving along Derek and they've moved you to delivery room!

Derek has a thread about her labour Lillian! You should go look! I think it's showing in active

I've never nested in any of my pregnancies....wouldn't mind it though lol this house very quickly gets very grim too many people

Omg just saw it!!! Thanks for the heads up - how exciting!!

I know!

It makes me want to squat! But I fear I'll never walk again!

She came at 9.39am weighing 6.5lb

Congrats Derek
