i know it doesn't quite rhyme but it does nearly, and it's completely inoffensive to everyone but Eddas

Here again, def contracting not sure how far apart DH not being very efficient and guessing, he's really starting to wind me up that's normal though.

carol3 · 10/04/2007 01:46

good luck funny why do contractions always happen more at night my friend was due last tuesday and i've been on standby to look after her ds soo excited

carol3 · 10/04/2007 01:53

anymore hensden

maveta · 10/04/2007 04:57

Hope everything´s going well Hensden!!!!

I´m feeling seriously p´d off...have hardly slept a wink all night, baby moving tons, bathroom breaks, drink breaks, on and off BHs..feeling very tired

Eddas · 10/04/2007 08:18

Oh oh Hensden we may very well be in hospital together if you can hold on til thursday!!

Hope to hear to news from you soon really though, you don't want to be in there that long or waiting that long.

Re the South East meet up thing, i'm in maidstone.

Well nothing has happened here with the baby. I'm getting really bored waiting now. Really feel unsociable too, don't want to answer the phone, answer texts, or leave the house! Good job it's only going to last til thursday or i might become agrophobic and lose all my friends!!! I swear if one more person utters those words i will be giving them a serious ear bashing. Have managed to bite my tongue so far but it's really getting to me now. Why do people think they're funny/original/being nice?

Can anyone tell i've had enough?

EllieKthePA · 10/04/2007 08:20

morning all
feeling a bit weird
bump seemed to be much higher this morning, and completely solid, no squashyness at all.
kinda like my waters have gone without me knowing and there's only baby let IYSWIM.

i'm crunching ice as we speak and now going to get in bath so will see if that gets a wiggle from him. if not it'll back up AAU me thinks

Eddas · 10/04/2007 08:26

Hope all is ok Ellie.

Maveta, sorry to hear of the bad night. I think the sleeplessness we get whilst pg is preparing us for the baby and being tired. I just hope i don't have to pee as much once it's out!

TMI alert since mw had her poke about i've lost 2 big goops of jelly/snotty stuff. really not attractive and am not getting my hopes up. Just thought i'd join in with sharing my TMI

liath · 10/04/2007 08:27

Morning. Hope it's going well Hensden and labour vibes to everyone overdue/fed up/tightening etc.

I've got a leaflet about that under fives festival thing as well, it's running 11th to 13th May on Leith Links and has a mixture of free activities and ticketed events. Thought it looked fun!

Hope the bump settles down, Ellie.

Birdiebump · 10/04/2007 08:31

Good morning everyone.

EllieK good luck with baby-checking. Hopefully all is ok.

How are you doing, Hensden?

My waters went too last night - one huge lot around 1.30am and another lot at 6-ish. We have had to change the bed twice!

No contractions as yet and am going to see MW for assessment some time this morning. The impression I have is that they will only give me 24 hours or so to go into labour before induction but I will clarify that today as I really don't want to be induced. So fingers crossed for me and Hensden to go into labour naturally.

However it looks as though this is going to be my very first early(just) or on-time baby!

runnyhabbit · 10/04/2007 08:33

Morning ladies

Hensden - thats so exciting although am a bit of you!

Felt a little bit down this morning when dh went back to work We've had such a lovely weekend. Nevermind, he'll soon have a couple of weeks off when this lo arrives.

Have dropped ds off at nursery, so going to chill out this morning. Hopefully have prevented any phone calls by sending everyone a text telling theres no news and am going back to bed, so please don't ring (naughty, I know) Wonder how many people take any notice And I've worked out how to switch the ringer off on the house phone.
Me and dh have agreed not to ring each other unless its an emergency

Have a nice day, and sending lots of labour vibes out (can someone please send some back to me LOL )

runnyhabbit · 10/04/2007 08:35

ooohhh Eddas and Birdie - that sounds very exciting

Birdiebump · 10/04/2007 08:38

Lots of labour vibes to you Runny - for a due date baby.

Birdiebump · 10/04/2007 08:39

Off to see MW - will update when I get back. Get a feeling will be posting quite a lot for my standards today!!

Katy44 · 10/04/2007 08:40

morning everyone
Hensden - good luck!! Hope you have mine (or someone else's number) so we find out as soon as possible.
Ellie, hope everything is OK. x Your LO likes to keep you on your toes doesn't he!
Eddas, sorry you're getting sick of waiting, hopefully it won't be too long
Birdiebump- good luck!

nellyhel · 10/04/2007 08:40

Just quick message to wish everyone losing waters etc good luck! Hoping for lots of news today .

My back is really achey today so hoping it is a sign of something-happening-soon and not just something'll-happen-eventually... It's not something I've had before as always started during the night straight into full blown contractions.

Elliek - my bump often does that in morning, like it's unengaged a bit from lying down? Maybe that's nonsense though. Hope it's OK

LOL at the fake bump story, that is ridiculous. I'd write and complain you are traumatised, maybe they'll send you freebies in apology!!

nellyhel · 10/04/2007 08:43

Runny - labour vibes too!! We have caller display on our phone which is a life saver. means I don't have to answer anyone I'm not in the mood for (i.e. MIL ).

Eddas · 10/04/2007 08:47

Birdie, what do we do re being buddies if you are induced tomorrow and me on thursday how funny is that!!!

Hope you get moving on your own and have it before thursday or i'll have to get my friend to announce it for us both, LOL!!!

Birdiebump · 10/04/2007 08:51

Not gone yet. Waiting for DH to get back from dropping DS2 off at nursery.

Eddas - we have Ellie's number as well as yours on my phone so DH (or I) will text you both should anything happen!

Although Ellie&Hattie (is it?) is welcome to announce it too!

EllieKthePA · 10/04/2007 08:51

pmsl Eddas, you really are inconsiderate not having your baby yet

I think I may have had a TMI gloop thingy like yours this morning too, and i'm not sure, but think i might be getting that very gradual loss of waters, sleeping on a mat thingy so can't tell if it was wet but once i've dried off from the bath i guess i'll find out!

OP posts:
Katy44 · 10/04/2007 08:52

I would like to place a bet that more babies will be born today than any other day so far

EllieKthePA · 10/04/2007 08:54

that's cheating Katy

charNbump · 10/04/2007 08:55

morning ladies! I was wondering if i could exchange my mobile number with someone as my "buddy" was hellcat, but i never recieved an email with her number on it,.....although i sent her mine?????? anyhoo, i wanna keep u all informed when something does start xxxx

Been having twinges since yesterday and belly aches tto so fingers crossed summits happening

Good luck to you all, especially ones whose waters have gone!

Eddas · 10/04/2007 08:56

ok Birdie, let's hope Ellie doesn't start off too!!!

Ellie, glad to hear goopy stuff isn't just me. Remember some of the ladies mentioning it on earlier threads so it must be ok

I think we'll have a flood of babies this week. But that is only allowed if mine is included as i'm getting serious serious with every baby born now!!!

I'm sure i wasn't his bad when dd was late. I think it's mn and 'knowing' you lot and you all pushing in that doesn't help!!!

Katy44 · 10/04/2007 08:57
