Morning,

Statistically speaking what are the chances that this baby might not ever come out? How many women historically have been pregnant forever? I mean it's possible isn't it? She clearly doesn't want to be born. I know realistically there's still time but after her trying to come early why is she so damned happy to just stay in there now?

Pah.

Meh.

Gah.

[fat and fed up]

OK I am getting so many little gushes of clear odorless discharge that I'm almost convinced my water is breaking and then I think, "No MKG your water isn't breaking this baby is going to torture you until 42+ weeks"

Here's a gross question: What does the mucus plug look like when you lose it?

Mucus plug is lumpy and jelly like, a bit like snot (eugh). It can be blood stained and can come away in bits or in once big lump.

one

I've lost a bit of mine gradually over the last few weeks. It was a bit stringy and well, like mucus!

Hope it is your waters too...

I lost mine the other evening MKG, it's like snot usually, and normally has some colour to it, pinky, bloody or browny. I lost it with ds about a week before he was due too and he was 10 days late and I also had a show with dd after I had a sweep and she was still 11 days late. As you can see this time I am thinking nothing of it.

SOH, I'm sorry you have got to that fed up stage. I guesse thinking that she would have arrived by now makes things hard. I have to say that when you said no women in your family have gone past the 37 week mark I didn't think you'd still be pregnant now. Common Miss Mathilda, Mummy has had enough now, be a good girl and do your thing.

I doubt it's my waters. it's probably just my "non-symptomatic yeast infection". I just did my own digital exam and it came out with little white chunky pieces (sorry tmi), but there is no odor or itchiness, so how can it be a yeast infection?

I'm so tempted to go to my doctor on Monday and book an induction.

My friend was right, "After the first time you have sex your vagina is never quite the same".

Do you think about your Labour starting at night or in the day?

Every night when I get into bed I think will tonight be the night? In the morning I think, Oh bugger No I'm still here and then I don't think about it until bed time again. Is that weird, Why do I think it will be a night time event.

You don't have to have a show do you? I never had one last time. Labour started with waters breaking last time so I guess it may have come out then and I wouldn't have known. I've felt fine all day today and have just started to get a few niggly pains - here we go again, this happens at least once a day/night! Today would be good because we've got no plans for the Bank Holiday!!
Lupins your pictures are lovely, you have gorgeous children. I agreee the one with Willow in the grass is beautiful and Arlen looks tiny in that beanie chair. I laughed outloud at the one of him with his hands up in the air, it looks like he's saying 'What are you asking me for?'

Mrs JB I totally agree even though my waters broke about 5pm last time. Dh drives me mad because every night as we are going to bed he says 'Do you think you'll have it tonight?' I mean how the f* do I know?!

No Abbylou, you are right not everyone sees it.

I think it's normal to think about it at night, because (according to my hypnobirthing book) it is the time of day when you are most relaxed and tension free, and most women go into labor in the night.

I think of mine during the day, because it would just be easier for.

OK I just looked up yeast infections on the web and i only have 1 symptom (the funky discharge), so what's wrong with me?

God I hate being pregnant because there can be so much going on with your fanjo it's ridiculous.

I only think about labour starting in the evening when BHs start up with a vengeance. I think I also assume that I'll wake up in the early hours in labour. My friend woke at 3am with all of hers, waddled to the loo and her waters broke. Every time I stir in the night I think 'ooh, ooh, is it happening' and every time, no I just need a bloody wee.

It's never going to happen.

I feel just like that SOH. I actually put a plastic sheet on the bed last night just in case. Feeling a bit sick at the mo - every little thing I wonder - is this it?

My neice lost her baby by the way, having an erpc this afternoon.

Third 'have you had it yet?' phonecall of the day. I'm unplugging the phone. Leave me be.

Oh I'm so sorry SkyTV. Your poor niece, that's heartbreaking.

Puts it in perspective.

Sorry to hear that Sky.

Sorry for your neice Sky

Baby's got hiccups again - about the fourth time today!

My mum just rang. DN is just going down for the erpc now. She has Thrombophilia and they have already acknowledged the miscarriage was possibly because of this and they are probably keeping her overnight in case of clots from this op. At least she will be looked after better if/when she gets pregnant again. It runs in the family and he cousin (who has also been diagnosed) had heparin injections during her pregnancy.

Afternoon all

First up Happy birthday LW

Lupin, those pics are gorgeous, Arlen looks so tiny on his beanbag, he looked quite comfy as well wish i had one lol

Im still here despite lots of pains, im getting really fed up now. I know ive still got 18 days left until EDD but i really dont want to wait that long and i hate the idea of having these pains for all that time, it will drive me mad. My mum has predicted that if this LO comes early it will be around the 18th so we just have to wait and see if she is right.

Ive been feeling very low today. I received a text this morning from my brother to say he had arrived in Ireland As far as we all knew he wasnt leaving until Saturday, he didnt even say goodbye, not even a phone call or text. Im so , and hurt (no emoticon for that one!). I know he hasnt moved to the ends of the earth but I cant believe he would just up and leave like that. He had promised me the other week that he wouldnt leave without saying goodbye and yet that is what he has done. I know my mum is very upset too. Its as if rushing off to be with his new girlfriend is more important than his own family. Dont get me wrong i hope it all works out for him, he deserves some happiness but i wont hold my breath, his girlfriend seems a bit of a bunny boiler to me. I may be wrong but the other day my brother had a migraine so his 'girlfriend' kept phoning my mum up every half hour telling her that she should be round his house looking after him (even though mum had spoken to him and he had insisted he was fine and just wanted peace and quiet). In the end she was implying that my mum doesnt give a shite about him and saying that he should have been in ireland with her, with people who love him, people who are important to him in other words now he has her he doesnt need anyone else. Silly cow. I may be wrong afterall ive never met her but at the moment she isnt my favourite person but then again neither is my brother for just upping and leaving like that Anyway rant over

The one good thing that came out of today is that dh knew how upset i was and took me out for a nice meal at the local carvery. It was lovely although i ate too much and ended up feeling really bloated and uncomfortable. All i could think in the car on the way home was that if i went into labour there and then they would have to stop it, there was no way i could go through labour with all that food in my stomach lol Im only know feeling comfortable enough to move

I had better go and check on ds2 he is round his 'girlfriends' house (as usual)he is probably in her back garden and i know he is safe but i always check up on him.

Sorry for your niece SKY, not nice to have to go through.

C'mon you babies, lets have you out, give your mummies a break! Actually I don't have to worry about if its labour, when it might be happening and what all the niggles are because mine is coming next Friday whether he likes it or not! Yippee, the joys of a cs, actually it feels a bit strange, knowing when and how

Happy Birthday LW.

Sky, sorry to hear about your niece

My news of the day is that I have finally FINALLY finished work. Hurrah! Double hurrah!! I may now get time to do what I?ve wanted to do for the past 8 months and actually be able to contribute to this thread . Or back my hospital bag which STILL hasn't been done

Hope you are all well??..

back = pack

MrsMcJnr who I know from the conception threads has recently been diagnosed with thrombophilia after a miscarriage. At the very least, it's manageable during pregnancy to prevent subsequent miscarriages. Still so very sad though.

Thread from Creena here

Yes I saw that thread SOH before DN started bleeding.

DD1 not feeling well and is already ready for bed on the sofa - unheard of. She was supposed to be staying at a friends house tonight but that was cancelled due to her friend being ill with a virus that her 3 siblings have had over the last week. According to the mum a 24 hour thing where they just sleep. Hope I don't get it - unless I sleep through labour LOL.
