I know - there is too much stuff that really should not be shared - things that mortify you to the core - that you want to forget, bury in big hole and fill with cement and have hypnotherpy to remove from brain memory card... have to say another particular favourite was back at university - went to a ball - pretty drunk - no knickers on - was dancing on table - fell off with dress over my head - and my sister was there to witness the whole horrible spectacle

EllieKthePA · 10/04/2007 23:22

ooh, that's a good one
bet she still brings it up when she wants to

Yes shes does - 14 years on LOL!

I think we have shared enough about our nippples, fanjos, bottoms, discharges and sex lives on this thread to last a lifetime! There is no such thing as tmi on here! tmi makes us smile and sigh with relief that we aren't alone!

EllieKthePA · 10/04/2007 23:28

too right!
sent stephen a text this morning saying i may have had a show, he sent one back saying was it cats or the king and i?

then later he asked if there were any more signs so i said i hadn't been knicker checking to find out, he told me that was TMI

text him back to say he shouldn't have asked then

EllieKthePA · 10/04/2007 23:33

speaking of TMI, feels like baby is pushing/kicking/hitting behind my ladygarden

very odd, yep, it's right down in my knickers and definite pushing outwards

Eddas · 11/04/2007 07:43

You lot were quiet last night, actually managed to read all the posts!!

Really nice post pinions, thanks for trying to reassure us that 2nd labours are quicker, i'm sure i'll be the exception,LOL!!

Lesley, so so sorry to hear you've had more bad news.

I think my baby was trying to burrow it's way out last night. My god was it moving. THought they were supposed to slow down when you reached the end. Not that i'm complaining abouting it moving, obviously better than not, but you'd think it had acres of space. Thought maybe it was moving from back to back to the right way but knowing my luck it was from head down to breach,LOL!!

nellyhel · 11/04/2007 07:49

PMSL at TMI thread. Thanks for the link to that !

OK - warning, grumpy hormonal pg woman alert:

Feeling rubbish this morning, still feel like I have PMT and crampy - how long can this go on for with nothing happening? Hoped something would happen during the night.(Sorry Octo and others having a slow start - I know I am not having proper contractions or waters going etc, just haven't had this feeling at the end before.) Starting to think maybe it is just size of baby too - I had stopped worrying about that one...

Oh and DH hasn't asked how I am yet (but when he does I say "how do you think" of course). He has sore head, poor thing , so got up early but didn't switch his alarm off, which woke up me and I had to get out of bed to switch off . He's now gone back to bed for a bit, so if he does go to work he'll be later home. Grrrr. Knew that him not annoying me couldn't last .

And where is my nesting and cleaning feeling? I only have sitting on my backside doing nothing except maybe eating. Dcs going to my mum's later, what am I going to do with myself? If she hadn't offered to take them I'd complain - see no-one can win today. Maybe the sun will come out later...positive thoughts everyone...

OK moans over. Promise to try harder next time. Morning to anyone else who is up, hope some people feel better today and maybe some real labour and baby news?
But if anyone else moaning then at least I can feel better not being the only one .

Eddas · 11/04/2007 08:00

Nelly, it's crap sometimes isn't it. DH's just do not get it! Not their fault of course, we have to remember they are men

Know what you mean about wanting dc's to go but wonder what you'll do. Last thurs dd went to SIL, great i thought. Then spent the day saying don't know what to do. If i wasn't pg then shopping/browsing would have been top of the list but at 3 days overdue i could not be doing with it, plus all the daft q's from people.

As i'm being induced tomorrow, baring all miracles of it happening before of course, dd is off to SIL again at about 3.30 today. Feeling a bit sad that this will be the last day i spend with her as a mum to one. Think if it stays nice i'll walk to the local swings(only a minutes walk) and have a little picnic. Usually nobody else there.

Oh and nesting, not sure what that is as i'm nearly 100% sure i've not had that instinct I'm am getting a very stonge sit on arse one though

nellyhel · 11/04/2007 08:02

Eddas - sounds like your baby wants out right enough! My friend said it was agony when hers turned breech to not very late on, so hopefully it wasn't that!
I managed to read all the posts too, it was a quieter evening.

nellyhel · 11/04/2007 08:10

Eddas, xposted. Thanks for some agreement, I do feel a bit like I am losing the plot today already. Dh has just asked how I slept, it's only taken him nearly two hours! Good luck with induction tomo, hope it is fast. It must be strange knowing for definite it is your last day though. Try to enjoy it!

We don't have any shops here for browsing anyway, would need to drive too far even to Tesco. But have had an idea to buy a couple of flower plants to put in the garden. Fresh air bound to do me good and won't be too much effort . Need to be the back garden though, can't have anyone commenting "should you be doing that in your condition, how long have you got to go..."!!

hotlipsmummy · 11/04/2007 08:19

Morning ladies. Am up and about when I really don't want to be...
Congrats to the Twinkle and thanks to Pinions for the post. Am hoping for a relatively short labour this time too but long enough for MIL to get here to have DS (about 1hr 30) If not will have to call a huge favour of a neighbour to have him whilst she's on her way... Am a bit worried about it all really and trying not to thnk about it...

DS is being very clingy and over-sensitive about life at the moment. Wonder if he senses something? Making me feel well guilty though. He's only 22months and still my baby!! Hope those with other DCs are still coping ok and that the behavioural issues have calmed down!

Am now 5 days more pg than with DS and trying not to moan as I'm still 6 days off due date. Having lots of "twinges" too (pmsl at that convo on the last thread!). Also getting what feels like strong period pains down below. A friend told me yesterday that those aren't braxton hicks but pre-labour contractions... Any thoughts?? No regularity to them but they are getting increasingly painful. Just hope baby doesn't come on Friday 13th !

Good luck to all today (esp Birdie), fingers crossed for some good delivery news!

Sexonslightlypuffylegs · 11/04/2007 08:26

Morning all.

Nellyhel, sorry to hear you are feeling crap again. Hugs to you. Have a good dc free day.

Eddas, Good luck for tomorrow pet.

Ellie, pmsl at the comment re your "show". A cracker indeed. I also feel like baby is right in my lady garden - feels very odd.

Octo, I really thought that I would log on today and find that baby Octo had been born. Tomorrow???

Off to a soft play place this morning with dd and a friend. Hope it isn't too mobbed.

Hope everyone else is ok today.

Lots of love. xx

liath · 11/04/2007 08:39

Nellyhel, I am happy to join you in the feeling like raging PMT camp! Dd must be teething or something but kept waking up crying in the night, aarggh! I don't remember feeling this tired last time but I wasn't spending all day chasing after a toddler then I suppose.

Forgot to say yesterday but loved Pinion's birth story & thanks for the hints. Hope Smole & baby Jesse are doing well - any news from her?

Might take dd swimming today so at least I can submerge myself for a bit and have the weight off the bump! The problem will be if anyone there has a harpoon and mistakes me for a giant killer whale .

Actually felt a bit like a killer whale yesterday as some foolish woman brought her dog into the toddler playpark and let it off the lead. I've never seen anyone move so fast after seeing me bearing down on her shouting to get her nasty dog out of a kid's area - probably thought I was going to sit on her & break her, LOL!

weeonion · 11/04/2007 08:43

morning folk s- hello toyu all. i am never quite sure what i will find in when i check in for teh day - more baby news???
39 weeks today - no shows, some twinges and pressure in pelvis but think this baby is well comfortable. do have a week tho' so not geting worried.
had friends round for hot hot hot chilli last night in teh hope of movements - none to report.
hope you all have a grand day.

xoxoxo

nellyhel · 11/04/2007 08:56

hlm - I am due on Friday 13th, think Liath is too, and am more than happy for a due date appearance - lucky for some?? I had read that if the pains come and go they are pre-labour contractions. Mine however are more of a constant ache that comes for a while and then goes unfortunately, IYKWIM. Will ask MW tomo if nothing changes.

Small achievement - have fed dcs without shouting at ds (useless at eating in the morning!) so off for a shower and to work on being positive for the whole day. Going to think of a list of things to keep me busy, Someone mentioned repacking hospital bag, that can be no.1 ...ironing... Oh my exciting life .

Have a good day and hope for lots of news later x
