lovely, more new babies. do hope all with inductions are feeling ok, it must be really exciting but scary to know exactly when you will be meeting your baby.

still not engaged, still can't breathe. almost completely run out of space for eating, but food only joy left so am doing my utmost to stuff some in.

fingers crossed for your mil mamanflo - hope you can enjoy the visit even if no baby yet.

according to the heartbeat rate/gender thread, i'm having a boy. anyone else got predictions for theirs?

MamanFlo · 20/04/2005 18:12

I had acupuncture earlier today and I have strange pains since then. It should really work from tomrrow and at least it will "open" the cervix a bit (which is good if ever I ask for an early induction) . I will have thai curry tonight as well....putting all chances on my side !!!

good luck to you all....I will keep you posted...

Merlin · 20/04/2005 20:45

Starshaker - good luck for Friday. Been reading your CS thread - agree with all the advice, definitely taking arnica has helped me loads more with this section. Also few drops of tea tree oil in your bath when you come home helps the healing too. That moment when they lift out your baby is just fantastic - good luck and am looking forward to hearing all about it!!!

starshaker · 20/04/2005 21:18

scary to think this will be the last night i sit at my comp without a baby. ill try and explain to dp how to post so he can let u all know how its gone

getting really excited now im gonna be a mummy woo hoo

starshaker · 21/04/2005 11:22

well had a show this morning so hoping that things might happen on there own had some pain but nothing im really worried about. go into hosp tonight anyway so will have bumps tomorrow cant wait not good luck to every1 else who is getting there

leander · 21/04/2005 14:50

goodluck Starshaker .Still nothing happening with me i am getting really fed up now.I am soooo tired today my dad has took ds out so i could go for a sleep but have been lying in bed for the last hour and cannot get to sleep

strawberry · 22/04/2005 10:16

I've been booked in for induction on Monday. Went in yesterday for check up and cervix is completely closed - they couldn't even perform a sweep. Had a very hot curry last night and pineapple all day! Really don't want to be induced. DS was 5 days over and this one is now 8 days over. SPD a littel better yesterday and got a reasonable nights sleep for the first time in ages.

How is everyone else doing today?

leander · 22/04/2005 11:29

Good luck for Monday Strawberry, its very quiet on this thread now isn't it.Still nothing happening with me i was only 2 days late with ds and thought your 2nd always came earlier but obviousley not.I have just hoovered and mopped all my downstairs floors and am gonna go and hoover upstairs in a bit i am trying to work this babs out of me.
Its a bit annoying cause if i dont go over the weekend i've got to arrange for someone to drive ds to nursery and pick him up next week.

csa · 22/04/2005 12:55

hiya all, just a quickie to say that Kristof Zachary was born on wednesday. all's well - it was a very fast event. contractions didn't really start till we reached the hospital although waters broke 4 hours earlier. and babes was born within the hour. have to say that it was so quick and b@#@$$ painful that i didn't even got a chance to catch my breath to turn the TENS machine up!!! best wishes to all who are still waiting.

leander · 22/04/2005 13:24

congratulations csa and welcome baby Kristof

Raindog · 22/04/2005 13:56

I'm hanging on in with you 006, good luck tom,orrowxxx

aprilmeadow · 22/04/2005 17:23

Congratulations CSA.

Well i am now 4/5 days overdue. Going in on Wednesday pm to be induced. Weird to think that by this time next week i will -hopefully - have a baby!

Fingers crossed that any inductions are avoided, and best of luck to those going in over the next day or two.

Hope you all have a nice weekend.

uwila · 22/04/2005 17:37

Hi Aprilmeadow. Sorry, guys. Thread crashing here from the May/June threads. April, just wanted to wish you luck. I was induced a couple of years ago. I remember how terribly dreadful I felt the day my due date came... and went.... But, you're such a great person, with all you did for Sweetheart in her time of heartache. I just wanted to wish you well.

aprilmeadow · 22/04/2005 17:47

Hi Uwila - Thank you for your message. How are you? When are you due?

I guess you have heard Sweethearts brilliant news..?! I only found out last Friday, and that was because she write in my birthday card '& bump'. We are keeping everything crossed for her and her dh.

Please send my best wishes to all of the lovely ladies on the due in June thread. x

uwila · 22/04/2005 17:57

29 May -- hence I straddle the May and June boards. I will say 'hello' on the June board for you.

And, good luck to everyone else on the April board. As I sit here still at work, I would just like to say I am so jealous of everyone who is at home with a beautiful new baby.

uwila · 22/04/2005 18:00

Oh yes, Sweetheart came onto the june board and announced her news. SO HAPPY FOR HER...

Merlin · 22/04/2005 21:09

well done csa - love the name!

qsack · 23/04/2005 16:16

hi, jonah patrick was born 9.46am on thursday after 2hrs 50mins of labour extremely painful but over quickly! 8lbs 2.5oz, home yesterday and being rapidly reminded of what sleep deprivation really means! he's slept a lot today so will be in for another night of pacing the bedroom! good luck to the rest of you waiting. i'm guessing we'll have news soon from a few being induced this weekend.

Merlin · 23/04/2005 21:53

qsack - congratulations on arrival of Jonah! Very quick labour - can't remember if this was your first or what? Take care.

aprilmeadow · 24/04/2005 07:57

Congratulations qsack on the fast arrival of Jonah.

Well looks like i will not be needing the induction on Wednesday afterall. Started getting contractions at 1.30am at 8mins apart for about 4 hours, now down to 5/6 mins apart and are starting to get quite painful.

chatee · 24/04/2005 08:03

wishing you all the best aprilmeadow....

motherpeculiar · 24/04/2005 12:47

congrats CSA and Qsack

Good luck Aprilmeadow, and all you others still waiting patiently...

make the most of the rest now is all I can say

bronniemuldoon · 24/04/2005 14:38

Hi all, just checking in to see how everyone is doing. Congratulations to everyone who's had their babies and I'm sending strong labour vibes to all of you still waiting.
