Schulte - I'm the same, I will be living in one pair of trousers and three t shirts until this baby arrives.

Purple - You need to get your feet up. What's the weather like? Will the garden do?

Thanks Martha

Barb, Mumble, Bleu and Maths - What were you little ones birth weights?

LaurenIsMoreThanReadyToPop61 · 15/04/2009 09:38

puzzle does your leakage have any smell?? wierd question lol

PuzzleRocks · 15/04/2009 09:43

I did think I detected a very faint semen like smell and when I googled I found that the NCT website confirms that amniotic fluid can smell like this. Other times it doesn't really smell of anything.

bronze · 15/04/2009 09:45

dont have time to catch up, congrats to Juw.

Its my dadas birthday today and I think he might be sharing it with someone small.
I'll text you Nutty as Mumbles still not online

PuzzleRocks · 15/04/2009 09:54

Blimey Bronze, how exciting. Good luck, and happy birthday to your Dad.

LaurenIsMoreThanReadyToPop61 · 15/04/2009 09:55

mine either smells of sperm or biscuits ?!

soon2befamilyof4 · 15/04/2009 10:01

Hello again. Well I have been having contractions now since last nitgh. I had a few really strong, breathtaking ones before bed - surely they can't still be braxton hicks? BUT they have all STOPPED!!!! It is frustrating as I was up half the night with it - waking up to tightenings/pain and generally very uncomfortable, but nothing today. DD got up at 7.30ish and I was so tired - i brought her into my bed with a bottle of milk and a DVD for 45mins . Felt much more awake after that though.

Think I must be mad - we are still going to chessington world of adventures this afternoon. About 1.5hours drive and I am driving. My mum will be with us though who is insured to drive my car if needed, althoguh she would prefer not to. I have a big ford galaxy 7 seater though so much more practical for day trips out - not squashing everything in. Going with my mum and sister who both have tiny fiestas.

I keep thinking I should put the new baby car seat in the car ready - but DH doesn't drive and I won't be driving myself to hospital so its a bit pointless?

Waters seemed to have stopped leaking - I am sure thats what they were though.

I think it was a good session on the wii fit that got me going last night! Hopefully walking round this afternoon might help too - or I will be back on the wii fit again tonight when DD goes to bed!

I found out yesterday that my one and only perminant mindee is going to be leavng me due to mum being made redundant. I am not really that worried as I on;y had her for a few hours a week so won't be a big loss in money and will save me doing school runs with both my 2 under 2s. I will still have her for a few weeks after baby is born though.

soon2befamilyof4 · 15/04/2009 10:02

lauren - they say waters can smell sweet so biscuits probably makes sense. lol.

gingersarah · 15/04/2009 10:03

Congratulations to Juw!

Bronze - very exciting. (It was my dad's birthday yesterday but nothing happened here)

Saw a photo of one of my NCT class babies yesterday - he is so utterly lovely, very beautifully filled out for a newborn with smooth face and little fat wrists. The baby came a day early, and was due 3 days before mine and I WANT I WANT I WANT! But... I really feel nothing.

Lauren - biscuits - my NCT teacher said "bready" so that sounds about right.

Schulte · 15/04/2009 10:11

Bronze Will you wait your turn!

Good luck!

Just managed to paint my toenails bright pink so that must mean bump has dropped some more.

NuttyBlowUpEasterBunny · 15/04/2009 10:13

Conker- ooohhh yay for a good nights sleep!!

Lauren - sounds like leaky waters >!!!

Brettgirl - yay you have a date too !! hopefuly this baby will come beforehand for you thouhgh, good that your cervix has started to dilate!!

Puzzle - oooohhh more waters for you too!!! >

Puzzle & Lauren - give your MW's a call this afternoon if its still leaking and damp down there xxx

Schulte - dont feel bad i have been wearing the same skirt for about a week and a half (its the only thing i can get on comfortably) and i have been weraing DH's t-shirts

Purple - aww your poor DS ((hugs))

Juw - congratulations JUW!!!! now get your butt online and regale us with the daetails cant wait!!! xxxx

Bronze - No problem at all sweety xx GOOD LUCK!!!!

Hi all

Congrats Juw!

Well by my nuchal scan I am 40 weeks today!!
When I go to see MW tomorrow I think I might ask her for a sweep? Not sure yet though. Have been having these stitch pains which I am sure is still just ligaments stretching but also had new pains in the night - kind of a period ache along pubic bone line. Bump dropped even lower, I have loads of space at the top now.

Have a busy day today. DS1's friend has just picked him up so going to have a tidy up and try and keep DS2 occupied until I pop to the shops and pick DS1 up and then my friend and her DC's are visiting this afternoon.

Please, please can I have this baby before the DS's go back to school on Monday??!!

NuttyBlowUpEasterBunny · 15/04/2009 10:24

Suprise - Happy 40 weeks!!! sounds promising!!! [bgrin]

Morning everyone! No baby yet...

Was up most of the night alternating between weeing and contractions, I managed to get some ZZZ's this morning after DH left for work so feel OK. They've slowed down a LOT since yesterday so I'm going to walk around the block a few times and bounce on the ball... hopefully that'll get things started again! Anyone have any super contraction-encouragement tips for me?

NuttyBlowUpEasterBunny · 15/04/2009 10:38

Kitty - ((hugs)) just the usuall i'm afraid xx but i will be waving lots of pom poms for you today and sending contraction vibes your way!!! xx
