Oh I also had a contraction during lunch. You should have seen the waiters face especially when he heard I am overdue

I always thought it was funny the way women just pottered around doing their stuff when they were overdue and already experiencing some contractions but what else can you do!

Mollyfloss · 15/04/2008 15:49

Scorpio: It is a bit early. I'll be 41+1. She says research shows that the placenta doesn't perform as well after 41 weeks and baby can thrive outside. That said if I wanted to go further I probably could. Also a lot of ladies who go to 42 weeks may not actually be 42 weeks as EDD may not be exact. If I went on just dates my EDD was April 7th but scan then said April 13th which makes sense as I have a long cycle.

scorpio1 · 15/04/2008 15:50

i am going to try to get induction for Monday, 41+3.

Good luck hoping that the sweep starts something for you.

Mollyfloss · 15/04/2008 15:57

Maybe we will give birth the same day then! Monday is the 21st. Think that would just about make it a Taurus baby or a baby on the cusp of Aries and Taurus - interesting

scorpio1 · 15/04/2008 15:59

TBH though, i don't really mind - Monday, Wednesday, blah blah - its still fecking inducing me

Will report on MW tomorrow, about lunchtime. Would be nice to have Mimi tonight...

Mollyfloss · 15/04/2008 16:13

There's a good chance you'll have her without being induced so I wouldn't worry too much.

scorpio1 · 15/04/2008 16:13

Hopefully

Where is VS????

Mollyfloss · 15/04/2008 16:17

What time was her CS scheduled for? She said she has to stay in the hospital for 24 hrs...?

scorpio1 · 15/04/2008 16:26

she had to be there at 7.45am or something....maybe her DP will write in later when visiting hrs finish.

Peachy · 15/04/2008 16:59

She may well text me, and I will post as soon as I get the message- but I need to find my mobile first (sorry), gne directly from preggie brain to baby brain I'm afraid.

TLSM · 15/04/2008 17:42

Hi All had a lovely day at MIL she bought me some castor oil which I shall be partaking in later after reading up about it on the net first!

I think the main difference between you scorpio and Molly is that once you have had a baby your cervix doesnt completely close so at this stage you could be 2-3cm easily but Mollys will be opening to have her baby when I was examined at 36 weeks i was already 2cm and they didnt think anything of it because I have had a dc.

Right my angel want to go on Nick jnr and I am in the middle of cleaning the oven - Its wrong isnt it that you get all excited because you have found a oven cleaner you can use in pregancy

Peachy · 15/04/2008 17:45

Well maybe its a good 6thing VS never had that baby vaginally.....

Was sure would be a girl too! YAY how exciting. Hope she is doing OK, can't wait to hear directly from her. I reckon we get a post within 24 hours!

CONGRATS VS! (was actually specifically logging on before DD goes to bed as was sure she would have texted Peachy!)

Mum2b2BabyRoo · 15/04/2008 18:14

Congratulations VS!!! What a whopper!!! Biggest baby so far - just beating Fleecy's! (Now I am secretly praying my one will be a little on the smaller size as I cannot get my head around pushing out a baby that big!)

Can't wait to see the pics VS and hope you are doing well!

egyptianprincess · 15/04/2008 19:00

congrats VS!!!

Mollyfloss · 15/04/2008 19:02

Congratulations VS!!! Fab news! Whaty a BIG baby! The baby definitely explains the big bump!

I'm having my usual contractions here. Almost getting used to them...

elfsmummy · 15/04/2008 19:08

Wow 10 lb 3 oz. That's making my eyes water. Congratulations VS. Hasn't she managed to double the birth weight of her DD or something - I'm sure that she was prm and pretty small!? Good work.

ThePFJ · 15/04/2008 19:34

Congrats Aussie and VS!!!
Wow.. 10lbs!
Unbelievable.
Hope mothers and babies are all ok. I have been missing all the good news!
Gods dammit.

christmaspixie · 15/04/2008 19:59

Congrats to all the new babies!! Well done VS!! {I'm a bit behind now with who I've already congratulated!) ooooh Scorpio, hope you get your homebirth- I'm due on Friday and I'm hoping to have one, was wanting all the info from you after! Anyone else who had a home birth - any tips? Knowing my luck I'll probably be induced and end up in hospital too. Not getting any signs or anything yet.

Ellie, let's have a race

Bainmarie · 15/04/2008 20:03

Congratulations VS , that is a very impressive sized baby!
