[DerekSprechenZeDick]

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 😂

None yet fresh! I'm going to get on that RLT now derek maybe it will kick it off. I don't have a ball but I'm trying to dance around looking absolutely ridiculous with this bump.

Woah a lot can happen in 45 minutes fresh! Have you got someone lined up for DCs if you need to rush out? How many minutes apart now? Exciting!

Still here not making much progress

Childcare is lined up though

Oooh exciting Fresh, I hope things have moved on for you!

Baby figgy arrived today at 9.34pm by c section after he turned out to be very high in abdomen and the wrong way round and me going from nothing to fully dilated and pushing in 4 hours. He's asleep on my chest and I'm too wired to sleep at the moment. Have a feeling it's going to hurt tomorrow!!

Good luck fresh!!

Congratulations Figgy - just enjoy your baby and remember that the pain is only temporary. Rest, resist the temptation to do too much, keep taking the painkillers and indulge in lots of cake.

Congratulations Figgy!! well done!!

Hope things are going well fresh

There is still no sign of this LO moving out... I tried a speed walk (with SPD and crutches) around the park yesterday and a trip to the supermarket but still nothing. I'm trying to be calm about it but I really don't want it to result in being induced on Thursday. Why doesn't my body work!!

Congrats figgy!

Congratulations figgy

I eventually fell asleep some time after five after contractions getting to be between 6-8 mins apart but not getting much more intense

So far this morning I just ache. Going to get up and move about see if it helps at all

Wow congrats figgy!! Enjoy your baby boy!

Nothing at all over here ... not even cramps last night or if there were they were mild enough to sleep through.

fresh hope things progress today for you!

I'm so tired and can't believe I went through so many hours for nothing

Oh no that sounds exhausting fresh wish it would kick off properly or not at all so at least you get some rest. Hope you have an easy relaxing day planned for today.

Decided to make plans for the weekend like nothing much will eventuate for me.

This waiting is so tiresome maddening - it's like waiting for mail delivery that you stay home and wait all day for - not leaving the house, wondering when to time your shower etc and it doesn't arrive until the bloody final hour!

I agree Lillian!

I've had two mild contractions since being up

By Monday I will be my most pregnant ever

Let's hope things happen on the weekend for you fresh!

I've got nothing at all today like my womb has gone to take the weekend off or something... even the discharge has gone back to normal.

Hope you've had some rest and recovering well from the c section figgy!

Thanks Lillian! Any signs for you yet?

I'm back on contractions every 10-20 min

Absolutely nothing at all fresh - except for some light fanny daggers!!!

Seems consistent now for you though - hope it turns into full blown labour anytime now! Like... NOW!

Haha if only all it took was saying NOW!

I really hope it's today. As soon as they get to five min I'll go in and get them to break my waters as I know that'll ramp it up

When's your due date?

Demand that this labour starts NOW! if only it works that way lol

Due date for me is Oct 23 so I hit 39w tomorrow.

So my prediction for us sharing a birthday doesn't look like it's going to come true. No hint of anything today.

Well... dignity is already falling by the wayside. Today I got stuck in the bath & had to be lifted out. It was like the Star Trek film when they retrieved a whale...

Any news fresh?

No

Baby November arrived safely 3 days ago.
He is beautiful and we're so happy.

Congratulations November

Congratulations November!

Congrats november!
