How interesting LackaDAISYcal Just waiting for my nest contraction to come along, they are very irregular at the moment, but I'm hoping they become more regular very soon and convince me they are the real thing, tomorrow is my cut off time for a home birth, so this would be wonderful if its happening now, especially seen as though Im 9 days over! Maybe they will kick in properly after 6.17 =)

[mum2becks]

Morning everyone, how exciting misdee so pleased its finally happening for you, keep us posted

And it looks like its all starting for you too lauraw78, fingers crossed for you that it is the real thing so that you get your home birth!!!

Even the full moon hasnt shifted this baby I think its just far too comfy in here anyway I am not worrying about it now and going to enjoy my last day with DD before I go in for induction tomorrow!!

Hope everyone else is ok, wonder if the full moon will do anything for MonkeyM I think you are the other one overdue??

[Yorky]

Yeah! Come on baby misdee!
I am having a day off today, don't want a 13th birthday - is that really pathetic? Probably arrive at 5 to midnight now!
Anyone else read Ben Elton's Inconceivable where they go dancing on leylines or something to encourage conception? Wonder where is good near here for dancing under the moon!

[Oblomov]

oooooh hhhh finally for Misdee.
Good luck Misdee.

[phee96]

I'm glad things are happening for misdee... so exciting!
I understand what you mean Yorky but I'd love baabyphee to be born today as it's exactly 12 years since DH and I got togther. Don't think this baby is going anywhere yet though

[MonkeyMargot]

Good luck Misdee!! Hooray for you!!
M2Becks yes I am the other overdue one. Got sweep today - did some howling at full moon earlier but no effect as yet.

[SparklyGothKat]

Misdee had a baby girl born at 7:07am this morning at home.

[misdee]

lol. yes was fast. second stage recorded at 7mins! she weighed in at 9lb 2.5oz, and is gorgeously chubby and sweet. she has a first name, Soophie, but no middle name as of yet. is currently snuggled on my lap. am off to bed soon for a nap.

[LazyLinePainterJane]

Am now 3 days overdue with no real pains. Saw the midwife on Tuesday and seems she didn't fancy doing a sweep, she made up a couple of excuses. I have a hospital appointment on Tuesday, am worried about waiting for 40+8 until starting sweeping as am desperate not to be induced.

I hate being late [grump]

[LackaDAISYcal]

Wow misdee......that was quick .....all those niggles and on again off again pains must have been quietly doing their work in the background.....and a full moon baby as well!!

Congratulations and welcome to Sophie . It's a lovely name.

[LackaDAISYcal]

and hopefully we'll have some news from lauraw as well

any more?

[ChocOrange05]

Congrats Misdee!!!

[Oblomov]

Ohhhh Congratulations Misdee
God that was quick, wasn't it.
Can't believe that Sparky Goth gave us the news, and then mum Misdee was herself back posting, only a few minutes after the birth. Now that really is impressive !!

[sparkletoes]

OOOHHH!! Congratulations Misdee!! What lovely news to log on to! That is a fantastically quick 2nd stage!!! Well done you and welcome Sophie.

LOL Yorky I am not bothered that there are no signs of a '13th' baby for me either haha quite stoopid or wot?!

Ok who wants vibes for today.. Kerri, Lauraw, Mum2becks, Phee, MonkeyM and LLPJ - comin attcha girls!!

[mum2becks]

Wow congratulations Misdee that was quick!! good weight too!! Love the name, but am biased as one of my nieces is Sophie!!!!!

[sparkletoes]

I know! I noticed that too Obs!!! How are u today anyway? Did you have an ok night with little Max?

[LazyLinePainterJane]

Oh missed that Misdee, congrats to you and your little girl.

[MonkeyMargot]

Wow! Congratulations Misdee and baby Sophie. I can't believe how quick that all happened!! And that you're posting on MN already!!
Right - some more babies please! Mine included (are you listening??)

[LackaDAISYcal]

Any twinges MonkeyM? You seem remarkably calm about it all

[Oblomov]

Thanks Sparkle. Much better night with Max.
He fed very regularly and I got decent bouts of sleep inbetween. can't quite remember the times, but think it was 7pm, 10pm, 12pm, 2am, 5am, 9am.
Feeling better.
Ds at school.
My clening of the house and ironing are being done for me, as we speak.
I am off to make curry.

[sparkletoes]

Glad to hear it Obs that sounds far calmer and enjoyable for you and gawd knows you deserve it!

Mmm curry!

[barbareebaa]

woohoo Congratulations Misdee How fabulous and lovely and quick!! Ooh - I like news like this first thing in the morning

Laura Fingers crossed you'll get going and have your home birth

LLPJ Sorry about your long wait, I'm a day behind you but hopefully am getting a sweep today (I dunno though) Can you request one before next tues?

MonkeyM Bet you don't have long to go - hang on in there

Morning Lacks

'kay - TMI
Think I have thrush (bah!!) Any ideas what I can buy over the counter for it??
Also fairly certain I've had a show this morning (even though thrush present - is very different, erm, consistency - is defo TMI!!)
Also I only ever get thrush around the time of my period - hormonal I think - and not once during this pg so my question is do you think it could indicate some kind of pregnancy hormonal change (i.e. before labour??)
Yes, definitely clutching those straws!!

And finally..... Will they give me a sweep if I've got thrush?? I mean you wouldn't really want to would you

P.S soz if I have x-posted with this epistle!
