Thank for bath suggestions!! I got distracted and cleaned my mums bathroom from top to bottom and it seems to have sorted the cramping and discomfort out Can now enjoy my bath Smile. And that's half the day gone!

ziggzagg · 18/12/2017 20:03

Eeeeek!! This time tomorrow I'll be at hospital being induced!!😬😬😬

millsbynight · 18/12/2017 20:54

So exciting @ziggzagg !!🤗

Maybebaby2 · 18/12/2017 21:27

So excited for you @ziggzagg please keep us posted!

@Waitingonasmile glad the cramping wore off and you were able to enjoy your bath. It's scary when you think it's starting to happen! Hopefully nothing else for you now till your dh returns.

ElleMcElle · 18/12/2017 21:29

Very exciting @ziggzagg - hope it all goes well for you!

hanna87 · 18/12/2017 21:59

Good luck @ziggzagg fingers crossed all goes smoothly! So exciting! Take care xx

katmarie · 18/12/2017 22:10

God luck @ziggzagg hope it's nice and straightforward for you!!

Everyone in my antenatal class has had their babies, I'm loving seeing all the cute baby pictures but I have to admit I'm a tiny bit jealous! I want mine here now too!

Waitingonasmile · 19/12/2017 06:42

Good luck @ziggzagg !! So exciting!

Mummyme87 · 19/12/2017 06:48

Had a consultant appt yesterday, and we have agreed so assess my cervix at 40weeks and induction at 40+4 as long as I have a fairly favourable cervix... as long as I haven’t delivered by then

ziggzagg · 19/12/2017 08:59

Thanks everyone!!

Just a quick question... DD has kindly given me the most horrendous cold, sore throat, mucus, cough, the works!!Angry Does anyone know if that will affect my induction today or will they still go ahead? I'm so ready for this little boy to get out of my body!!Confused

Maybebaby2 · 19/12/2017 10:02

I'm pretty sure your induction will go ahead @ziggzagg from what I've read baby is unlikely to pick up your virus and for yourself once full labour starts and adrenaline kicks in your symptoms will stop or you just won't notice them! What time do you go in?

Waitingonasmile · 19/12/2017 10:11

Yes @ziggzagg I'm not sure but I would think you'll be absolutely fine to go ahead. I think maybe it's surgery they can be iffy about if you are ill. I hope it all goes well today.Smile keep us updated if you can.

Sickness is back Envy. Was so sick this morning. Doesn't help when you have a toddler following you asking what you are doing and wanting to join in.

ziggzagg · 19/12/2017 10:12

8pm ConfusedConfused

I'm sure it will all be fine just so ready to give birth now as I'm in so much pain it would devastate me if it couldn't go ahead!! I'm hoping with all my pains I've been having all week that my cervix has dialated enough to skip the gel and get straight to breaking the water!! Fingers crossed xxx

Gemxo · 19/12/2017 12:36

For the past hour I've been having really uncomfortable cramps/aches in my lower back. & every time baby kicks I'm getting really sharp pains!

DP has been rubbing my back for me but it's not easing it at all, not sure if I should be worried 👀 35 weeks today!

Waitingonasmile · 19/12/2017 12:58

@Gemxo definitely try a hot bath and drink lots of water. If it's not eased off in a few hours or gets worse I would phone for advice or get checked. These last few weeks are so confusing with all the aches and pains. 

I'm the laziest Mum ever today and just took son in for a two hour bath with me so he wouldn't want to go for a walk anymore.  now we are out he's asleep so definitely a success.

@ziggzagg that's ages to keep you waiting. So exciting your baby will be here soon.

Gemxo · 19/12/2017 14:13

Pain in back is getting worse, taking your advice @Waitingonasmile DP is currently running me a bath to see if this eases it. The kicking is still really hurting Aswell

Maybebaby2 · 19/12/2017 14:35

Wow 8pm is late @ziggzagg hope the day goes quickly for you!

@Gemxo hopefully the bath will help ease cramps. I have spent a rediculous amount of time in the bath over the last few months it helps me so much with every ache and pain and stress and tiredness! It has definitely become my little oasis! So hoping I can have a water birth next week!

Waitingonasmile · 19/12/2017 16:10

How are things now @Gemxo ?

Gemxo · 19/12/2017 16:27

I've had my bath, but back pain is still there. Don't really know what to do with myself @Waitingonasmile

Waitingonasmile · 19/12/2017 16:58

If it's not gone away or got better after paracetamol I think I would phone for advice. If you were a few weeks further on then it would be different but no point taking any chances. Hopefully it's nothing and they can put your mind at rest! I wonder if it could be a UTI. I have no medical knowledge so pretty useless @Gemxo

I've been sick again and had lots and lots of BM. Have stomach cramps now and just feel rubbish. Definitely doesn't feel like labour it's just my own fault for having a terrible diet recently. Can't live off takeaways anymore

reetgood · 19/12/2017 17:27

I would call too @Gemxo, it will put your mind at rest whether the advice is to come in or wait and see.

Catching up with the thread. In contrast to a few, I'm really wanting baby to delay his arrival and come on due date or after! I've had a fairly easy pregnancy, I quite like my bump. I SO haven't finished off my jobs round the house, or finished packing birth bag, or picked up all the home birth stuff.... Also probably an element of 'oh my god shit is getting real'.

I had my health visitor meeting a week or so ago, am hoping I end up with her as she used to be a midwife and seemed fairly up to date with info (she was covering for a colleague). She asked me if I talked to my bump .... I don't. It feels weird! In my head, baby is baby when baby arrives. Before that, baby is in some strange potential baby state. There's a slight anxiety thing there - some friends lost their little boy very soon after he was born and just the knowledge that such a thing is possible sits at the back of my mind. Now having a wonder if I'll end up having trouble bonding... Boyfriend has kindly taken on job of talking to bump, which makes me smile :)

Also had homebirth visit. Have most of the things needed, know who to call. We've got a lot of sheets, because of course we have new carpet upstairs. Wondering if I'm making a mistake not getting a pool. I just...can't be bothered with it. I don't have a lot of baths in general (prefer shower) so am wondering if that's any relevance. Have got Tens, am going to be at home which will prob help, midwives have gas and air, and have ordered the diamorphine pain killer presecription (can't remember the name) from doctor. He's prescribed it with an anti-emetic. I've never actually had any morphine based pain killers so it's a bit of an unknown. Am ordering to have the option more than anything else.

ndo4000 · 19/12/2017 20:54

@reetgood you are so much more organised than me!!! I've got me home visit on Thursday and have no idea what I need!!! Is it just lots of sheets/towels?

I've got a pool sorted, but only because I work in the "birthing world" and am borrowing one.

What else do I need?! (Aside from usual labour bag stuff).

reetgood · 19/12/2017 22:19

@ndo4000 they gave me a sheet with recommended stuff to prep. Basically stuff for comfort, stuff for being able to keep active, stuff to limit mess, pain relief options. Tea and biscuits for midwives :) . Some random stuff like a torch. Oh and pack a birth bag, she said yes in case of transfer but also she said handy to have all post birth stuff in one place

ForumUsername · 19/12/2017 22:32

I'm hoping for due date or after too
We've had work done in the house and it went over by a week. That was bad enough but it also wasn't done properly so my new massive shower isn't draining properly and they have to come back in the new year to fix it! I'd really like that done before baby arrives.

I've had it mainly very easy although I've noticed I'm way more easily tired now.
The carpel tunnel is annoying but bearable.
I'm not finished work till the 29th either so want a couple of weeks to chill

I say all that but after getting period type pains in my lower stomach and back the past two days I packed the hospital bag as a just in case!
Really glad it's done, I've packed enough for 36 hours I think and all is fitting in an extended carry on.
DH can bring more in if/when it's needed.
I do expect to be in for at least 3 nights based on what hospital policy is for FTMs

rememberpurpleronnie · 19/12/2017 22:38

@Gemxo - I had exactly what you describe overnight last night- intense lower back pain with period like cramps. They lasted about 14hrs and stopped! I'm thinking its baby's position as this one is back to back. I'm 37+3.
