Come on Girls!!!!

Silke Samnang...love it!

how about Wrigley Cervix MM?

Sounds like a bond girl. What would Silke's specialty be?

Very Nice MM

Well you lot got me started. I had a feel o my cervix and where I can feel his head I can feel a squishy bubble on the top. I can only assume its the bag of waters (not all of it obviously). Thought I better not poke too hard in case I popped it

Bronze - you are a better woman than me!! i would have been trying to pop it!!

Don't pop yourseflf Bronze!

The good news is that OrbitButtonhole is still ok, so I think the clonk to the head is just the first of many brotherly traumas!

WFH - YAY for Orbit being ok!!

Too worried about infection Nutty otherwise I could have been tempted. I would love to have this baby today. Easter Sunday is so special, plus its the 12th so fits in my pattern, my pil are still a round (away next week wed til sun) and DH has sodding gone out again and I'm feeling a little bitter

Yay for ok Orbit. Wait til he rolls off the bed

It was very odd though like one of the bubbles off a large bubble wrap

Bronze - ah good point

Yes, DS1 managed to roll off something when quite small, can't remember if it was a bed or what, scared the life out of me! Doesn't seem to have affected him much so far.

Orbit just had a bath, only his third one so far (terrible parents) and screamed the house down when he had to get out. Looks lovely now though, hair's all fluffy and he's all clean

DD had her first bath at about 2.5 months. It doesn't harm them. In fact its better for their skin not to be bathed too often so pretend its for his benefit

just popped on for a minute...

CONGRATULATIONS TO SPRINGY AND RACHEL!!!!! xxxx

(rachel - LOVE the name! it's almost my surname! and DS's middle name is James!)

been having slight pains for the last couple of days. don't think anything is imminent but possibly soonish?? (fingers crossed!)

i'll be back tuesday once DH goes back to work. while he's around i just want to enjoy having him here (and try to get some stuff done!!)

love to you all!! Happy Easter!!
xx

excitement for the bubble bronze...ooh bet it pops soon (I would have popped it to Nutty..)

I am packing my bags for tomorrow (major excitement but feel like a bit of a traitor..surely I should be resisting induction....nope can't wait any longer!!!)

how are you all? glad Orbit's ok...

MM - not a traitor at all, tis still labour just brought on a bit !! oh you will be having your baby tommorow!!!! YAY!!

or Tuesday I guess...good old NHS efficiency.. I am thinking worse-case scenario they faff about with GPs and examinations and gel and crap for quite a while, and a long labour. Hope I will be pleasantly surprised [hopeful bunny]

Still...SO GRATEFUL !!!!

Just plucked my eyebrows YOWCH!!!!! (i usually have them waxed, nice and quick, but havent been able to get them done) why do we do this stuff!! once you start you cant stop either tis like self torture

Hi all

MM - so excited for you for tomorrow. Will keep my phone near me and on loud - can't wait to hear from you!!

How are you Kitty? Any progression?

Good luck for the induction tomorrow! I would be excited too! I was induced last time - although had gone into labour myself but I was taking too long and had infection. Anyway, if I could choose to be induced this time I would! I would love to know when baby is coming, and as I had it via a drip, they could increase the dose to speed things up etc which was nice!

So with the cervix - do you wait till your in labour to have a feel or can you do it before hand? Might have a go!

Nutty - I think I might have been tempted to pop it too!

Ooh MM baby soon. hope it goes well for you

TMI alert, don't read if you are eating:
Had a feel for the cervix, if nothing else I thought I would see how it feels now so I know how it has changed if I feel again during labour. Well, couldn't find my cervix - found something hard but I think it was quite a bit too far towards the back to be a head? But while I was doing it and after, I had loads of really thick white dischargy stuff? It was all over my finger? . Can't believe I am telling you all this! I actually had some earlier too, when I was out at the park. I actually felt it come out, it was that thick! It is very white too. Not the slightest hint of any colour?
Is all this normal? How do I find my cervix if I couldn't find it today? Is there a good position to be in when looking for it? I am pretty sure I know what it feels like and have felt it in the past (not purposly) so it isn't usually that hard to find iyswim?

Oh and now I apparently have a nose bleed .
