@Lizzieee2727 in exactly the same feeling the need to go the loo but never actually needing it...our babies must of moved down a bit setting off pressure. Get as much rest as you can when you can I've just had an hour and feel alot better than I did earlier thank god x

LucaFritz · 07/12/2019 14:54

Im sat down knackered but there's a whole list of stuff still to do and its bothering me but I've run out of steam for today sigh

Cjo99 · 07/12/2019 23:00

Currently feeling horrible with a cold, sore head, stuffy, temperature etc😭but just keep telling myself, 5 weeks to go! I hope she comes slightly earlySadpregnancy is tough some times! At least we don't have long to gooo! I also have the feeling of constantly needing to do a number 2! Have a touch of diarrhoea (sorry for tmi) and I read that that could be one of the first signs that labour is approaching...fingers crossed😂 good luck everyone, won't be long now xx

How’s everyone feeling?
I’m still not sleeping, so I’ve bought a “sleep” bubble bath to see if that helps at all. Last night I was awake for 3 hours+ and just couldn’t sleep. Luckily DH has been sleeping on the spare mattress, as I’d have kept everyone awake!
One month to my due date. I’m still hoping for it to be a bit earlier, but not putting my hopes up too much.

Lizzieee2727 · 10/12/2019 08:17

Had another growth scan yesterday and at 34+5 they're measuring 6lb 12 😭 the consultant is reluctant to advise inducing any earlier than 38 weeks (New Year's Day) so we're just going to see how the next couple of weeks or so pan out...

FeedMyFaceWithBattenberg · 10/12/2019 08:17

24th January for me x

Times10 · 22/12/2019 00:11

2.5 weeks till my due date, and fed up now! I’m symptoms spotting as much as I did before I could take the pregnancy test all those months ago!
I’m forcing myself to tidy up, in a vain attempt to trigger nesting, just in case it helps me go into labour. I’m not sure forced nesting is the way to go, but at least the house is looking nicer on the run up to Christmas Grin
Still don’t know where to go once I’m in labour, as our local hospital (10 minutes down the road) is a MLU only, and the closest doctor led one is 45 minutes on a good day (but could easily be a lot longer with traffic). Maybe I’ll just stay home (and freak DH out...)

Cjo99 · 22/12/2019 09:09

@Times10 I'm the exact same! MLU hospital is only down the road but the closest doctor led one is about 30 minutes away! I'm going to the doctor led one just incase something goes wrong even though I'm low risk. 3 weeks and 4 days left for me! Good luckSmile

5 weeks left here and they can not go quick enough!! Been having strong braxton hicks since 32 weeks its draining... Daily period type pains in my lower back is not ideal when I need to get stuff done.

I'm hoping for MLU but I have one within my labour ward at hospital so if anything I can be transfered quickly to the labour ward if needed.

Baby est at 6lb 14oz at last week's growth scan. Consultant is useless doesn't even really say much apart from keeps mentioning induction but then doesn't say anything else so I have no clue what's going on.🙈 Anyone else constantly feel the need go loo as soon as they stand up for both.. I cant wait to go for a proper wee!! The thing I'm most looking forward too once baby is here

Times10 · 22/12/2019 14:09

@Cjo99 yes, for peace of mind I think I’d rather go to the dr led one, but now I’m fretting about getting there on time as my last labour was quite quick (according to the MWs, didn’t seem quick to me!).

@Boymummy3 my body is definitely up to something, for a couple of hours every night. And then it settles and nothing happens. Last night I must have gone to the loo every 10 minutes for an hour, which is a lot, even for me! I’ve forgotten what contractions might feel like, as youngest DC is 5, so I basically spend hours wondering if this is it... but it’s not.

Cjo99 · 23/12/2019 12:27

This is my first so I have no idea what to expect...

@Boymummy3 yes everytime I stand up I'm like 'Ugh, toilet again!'Grin I don't think I've had any Braxton Hicks and I'm almost 37 weeks...

Hi guys, due Jan 20 here as well. Cant see any signs as of yet. But boy is it getting harder to turn at night. I literally have to stand up to lie down the other way. I also get numb hands in the middle of the night due to pressure and wake up in so much pain coz of it. Really hope to see signs soon. Really don't want to go over due date.

Cjo99 · 07/01/2020 01:37

@kitten22 It's terrible trying to get comfortable at night isn't it?? We are heading into our last couple of weeks, or days so just think of the end result!Smile❤️I hope you don't go over and you have a relaxing last 2 weeks of pregnancy!Smile
