hey all, hope you all find the thread! we can niggles and worries!

Thanks for the advise ladies, hope it isn't SPD as I have a 24hr car jorney across Spain & France 4 wks before she is due to get back to UK as this is our moving date & I don't think its going to be very comfortable as it is with the added extra pain of SPD
I have an anti natal swimming class on Thursday so i will ask the midwife then what she thinks it might be.

Nelix sounds like your body is gearing up for labour, I got really bad period type pains about 5 days before my ds was born & put it down to branston hicks (not knowing that they were not supose to be painful) & went into labour 4wks early. I now know that they were early labour signs & I'll look out for them this time around.
I put bets on her arriving within the week

Maybe we should have a sweep stake???? Sorry nelix!!

you can do it to me when my time comes if that helps!

Sounds like things are getting into gear Nelix !

LOL heeby sweepe away! I will be offered one on friday(not done the actual day but can be done next week) if I chose too!
Still no baby lol tho people are saying I have dropped......I just smile and say "yes I beleive so" when of course I KNOW so becasue I can barely walk!!.......off to have some chocolate for breakfas....figure I am going to need it!!!

oooooh! i am so excited for you nelix!!!

Ok guesses below ladies ....

Heeby - this Saturday 16th!

Watch this space she won't turn up until June 5th!!! thats my guess lol!!!she feels even lower today.....its going to take me all day to do some basic housework!!!

That's my birthday! i should of gone for that date then ... god i hope not for you!!

Sod the housework - sit and scoff that's my advice xx

lol I will I think, DP and DS are off swimming so I have an hour of peace!!....but I can't help wanting to bake and things!!!! nesting muchly!....has anyone heard from jools?

How exciting - I think this Saturday sounds like a good guess Heeby.

Nelix it sounds like she is getting ready - I'm with Heeby on this on - I think you should sit down and relax while you can! xx

Hi Nelix - yes, I'm still lurking and enjoying all the lovely scan news, plus getting mega excited for you

I just don't have a lot to say for myself at the moment My old EED is fast approaching (May 29th) and whilst I'm really really happy to see birth announcements from people on my old a/n thread, it does make me fret about what might have been

The short version:

MC was a walk in the park compared to the previous one - early enough for the hormone crash not to be too bad and we were on hols, which kind of took my mind off it.

Have tried to TTC again, but DP is having performance issues again. There is an outside chance I'm now on a 2WW, but we are very very unlikely to have been successful - probably for the best as I have an appt with the recurrent mc clinic on June 3rd.

So, I've restarted my diet and have already lost 4 of the 7 lbs I put on since Easter - hoping to lose a significant amount more before I embark on my 4th attempt to become an ageing mum. That is another worry - the months are passing by and I'll be over 40 by the time I deliver a baby - if it ever happens .. I know that isn't considered old, but I think it is pretty unusual for a first baby.

Sorry - am not that miserable, honest - just trying to be a bit realistic.

Do I need to think labour vibes for you now

Great to hear from you jools and good on you for loosing the wieght!!! I am still trying to get rid of DS's baby weight from two year ago...Goodluck with the tww, its not an easy time anyway You don't sound miserable at all actually!...

Must be hard with EDD closing in. I truely cannot imagine how you feel, nor will I pretened to.

Also LOTS of mothers only think about starting a family in their 40s not old by any means!! nor is it unusual so carry on and think of the wisdom you will impart onto your child in comparison to younger mums!...you will be fabulous at it!

Please please send me labour vibes lol!!

OK I am going to go for Monday May 18th
What your actual due date Nelix how far off are we at the moment

due date is the 27th.....I am hoping for an early labour rather than late tho lol!!!!

jools lovely to hear from you, so glad you are feeling a bit more positive and i hope that these next 2 weeks are not too stressful, especially the 29th. It must be a hard time and like Neliw, i cannot begin to imagine how you feel honey, i just hope you can mark the occasion with a happy event.

so here's the list:

Heeby & Jools - Sat 16th May

DUe date 27th so i will go for 22nd

Nice to hear from you Jools, you sound very focused and realistic. And I don't think 40 is old to be a mum, you're only as old as you feel and you'll have more life experience to share with your growing child too. Keep positive and I'm sure you'll be back on the thread before we know it

My little one is very active for most of the day and when I go to bed, that sounds typical! Lots to look forward to. DH felt the baby move for the first time the other night and was so amazing! Feeling very very real now
Also, I've had the pain in my hip almost, above my right buttock that goes after a while of walking. I go to yoga regularly and find this helps though. Haven't been diagnosed with anything and too scared to be! Hoping that with plenty of rest and yoga i can reduce it a bit ?

wananbe the yoga has been a massive help to me and i practise a lot when i'm home and in the evening which is great, find a position that is comfty and stick to it when sitting etc.

I am finding my office chair is quite uncomfortable now (mind you everything is!) so i shall be glad when i leave in 2 weeks.

I have some exciting news ... i have just booked up a birthing hypnotherapy session!! the idea is to try and relax enough to stay in control and hopefully have a calm birth ... hmm we'll see. I will be sure to report back, the session is next Fri (so after nelix has given birth!! )

Sorry forgot to add list ..... (it feels like the TTC thread all over again!)

Just got back from my anti natal swimming class, really good fun. Anyway I asked my midwife about the pain I have at the top of my right bum cheek & she said that during pg you get pockets of extra fluid building up & one of the places it settles is in the grove that your syatic (sorry can't spell that one) nerve sits running from the top of your bum to the bottom on either side. She said that when you sit down your pelvis spreads out & then when you get up again it pinches the nerve which causes the pain. She told me to do some gentle squots to release the nerve again after I have stood up. She said it will come & go as the fluid moves around & usually gets worse once the head is engaged as this pushes the pelvis further apart. She told me if it gets worse over the next couple of wks she will book me in for some pysio to help it.
Hope this explains your pains Spats & Wannabe sounds like you two are suffering the same symptoms as I am

Blimey, I'm getting this pain in my right bum cheek (had it with ds but not so early) and I'm only 12 weeks !

why is it the right side???lol thats where ALL my pain was focused! glad you are seeing the physio smiley mine was fab, she sort of pulled my right leg(as hip was higher than left hip) and I got a couple of days releif and saw her weekly. I was lucky and got a cancelation appointment to.

Had more painful braxton hicks the last three days now (again in my right side, spreading across womb and down right leg), off to see the midwife for 38wk check this morning. If she tells me the baby is not engaged I will cry lol!!! I know though with second babies they don't always engage as early as first babies as the first baby cleared the way for them so they can afford to wait until they chose!

Has anyone heard off sparky???her baby was due on the 15th of may!!! I want to know if she is ok

Wow that is odd that it's always the right side! The lady who was altering my wedding dress told me, bluntly, that i was lop-sided. Basically one shoulder lower than the other only can't remember which side was which now . Needless to say I never went back to her Maybe the way we stand has something to do with it? who knows.

Oooh that's exciting about sparky though, maybe she's busy being mum?? Hope all is well though.

38 wks nelix not long, i think you're going to go early, fingers and toes crossed that she is engaged!

Ooooh sparky where are you!?!! What happened?!! I do hope you are ok hun and enjoying your new bundle.

How did today go nelix?

I am feeling all sentimental today, to think all those months ago we were all squinting at a small faint line and wishing for a little egg to have made it's home.... now we are all starting to meet our home-made bundles - life is amazing huh.
