We maxed out our last thread before starting a new one.
I'm not savvy like kitkat so can't post our list either! Hopefully there will be some ba's before this thread is completed.

Lots of new arrivals!

I don't know if my waters broke last night, or if it was just a 'wee' accident. I'd woken up needing the loo (again!) but was just lay in bed. There was a bit of a pfft moment. Only enough to wet 'jamas and nothing else. I went and peed and all seemed normal, and no staining when I wiped? No further dribbles, so guess it was a weak pelvic floor moment?

Maybe thisisbonkers, what did it smell like. I have been told waters smell of semen. If it was wee you would know by the smell.

StubbleTurnips · 30/11/2016 07:56

bonkers I'll join you in the same club, seems to be most nights I wake for a wee; due to the spd / trying to move I seem to leak what I'm hoping is wee. I seem to have always soggy pants Confused Blush

Thisisbonkers · 30/11/2016 08:02

It didn't really smell of anything. I think it was probably pee Blush

Thisisbonkers · 30/11/2016 08:02

Pregnancy, full of elegance and class Grin

Congratulations led - hope you get out soon!

I'm sweating more at night recently, maybe because I added an extra blanket because of the low temperatures. I also am having increasing pelvic floor issues, what fun Smile

goinggrey1978 · 30/11/2016 09:04

Led2012, congratulations!
Thisisbonkers, yes I think it's our pelvic floor now too, I'm in the loo so much during and during the day, I feel like l live in there!! Been wearing protection for ages now as there always seems to be a little leakage nowadays, not long now and the babies will stop playing football with our bladders constantly!!

Had my 38w appointment today, baby not engaged Angry

Midwife did book me for an induction at 40+12 though, so there's a definite date in case we go over!

NurseRosie · 30/11/2016 10:49

They told me my baby wasn't engaged when I was in labour so I think they can move quite quickly so don't worry Turnips.
My waters didn't really smell but did smell different to pee. They were pinky though. I found it hard to tell as didn't get any unusual feeling. Maybe see if the midwife will check you over bonkers x

StubbleTurnips · 30/11/2016 11:04

Rosie that makes me feel a bit better!

DartmoorDoughnut · 30/11/2016 15:33

Congrats Jojo and led! Flowers

tip hope everything is going ok Flowers

I am so bloody tired! DS dropped his nap for the second day in a row, utterly hanging Grin

Bigfam · 30/11/2016 15:41

Dd3 has dropped her daytime naps too dartmoor you don't realise how much of a life saver they are until they stop do you? Although saying that, she slept really well last night, but today has been a bit shit with the virus, at times she's been completely out of it.

Congratulations JoJo and Led. Flowers

Had 38 week appointment today and baby is apparently 2/5. Is that good? I feel like he's trying to tunnel his way out at every opportunity. Hmm Have been given a date for our 40-week appointment and apparently they'll start "helping him on his way" when I'd be 41 weeks. I seriously hope he's making an appearance before that. Confused

OrianaBanana · 30/11/2016 16:33

It's neither good nor bad really, it means he's 3/5ths engaged. Going in the right direction!

DartmoorDoughnut · 30/11/2016 16:42

It is awesome in terms of bedtimes bigfam but I'm already counting down til I can start putting him down, just under 2 hours to go!!

Christmasbaby16 · 30/11/2016 18:19

Our beautiful boy arrived 23rd November, 12 days early. Absolutely beautiful and all well Grin

goinggrey1978 · 30/11/2016 18:46

Christmasbaby16 congratulations!! what did he weigh??

Theaks · 30/11/2016 18:57

Congratulations. Another baby. Yay x

Oo new babies, congrats all!

I can absolutely sympathise with the poor pelvic floor. I've been wearing protection for weeks. Bloody sexy!

Had Ds1(3) all day today and what with him and my SPD, sciatica and weak legs I'm broken! Back to the childminder tomorrow!! I think he's as happy as me!!

My waters smelt like bleach and semen first time round. Definitely a different smell to wee!

Londonmamabychance · 30/11/2016 19:53

Congrats Led and Jojo! Hope out and little ones are well!

Growing I'm sorry to hear you're struggling with anxiety, So have I, it's so hard when you have a pre existing issue with anxiety, as pregnancy really can bring it on.

bigfam sorry about you little one being ill! Hope for speedy recovery.

Counting down, 11 days till due date. Wouldn't mind if he came next week, as soon as we've set up the bed and got a double buggy, thinking we'll manage it this week. Going Christmas shopping tomorrow, so hoping to get all Christmas presents in one go.

OrianaBanana · 30/11/2016 20:52

37+5 here and from last night I've had a few random period pains. This means nothing right? Hopefully, as DH is about to go away for two days. (Not far but still.)

Bumplovin · 30/11/2016 23:01

Well that's me fasting now until my c section tomorrow, not sure I'll be able to sleep tonight too exciting!

EllenDegenerate · 01/12/2016 03:54

Best of luck Bump. Hope you're not left hungry for too long.
Look forward to your BA.

Calicocurtains · 01/12/2016 04:07

bumplovin exciting!! Look forward to hear about your new arrival :)
oriana me too, 37 weeks and slight period pains 😬 I was hoping that baby would at least let me have some maternity leave (finish on Friday) before making an appearance but it would be nice to have her before Christmas :)
