Morning all, Junies, Julies alike
We are officially 'Julies' I think, unless some of you snuck off and had babies before midnight last night??!!
I didn't get back on yesterday, and was thinking " uh oh, they'll all be expecting me to be in labour!" But I wasn't Mw couldn't do the sweep because the cervix is still too far back soft and open, but not forward enough to break any membranes. So, I'm booked in for an induction on Tuesday night. I hope it doesn't come to that, mainly because it means that labour has to be monitored quite a lot which limits your options i.e. probably no water birth. Still. I'm most disappointed that it seems like my body just wont play ball with this labour thing Makes me think, "what's wrong with my body, why wont it let these babies out??" Perfection takes a while I suppose..! I'm going to call my accupuncturist and get her to come and stick needles in me stat!!
Hi Mrs D and Hub Hmmm the prospect of posting on 2 threads has always over-whelmed me somewhat Especially since the June thread was so fast moving, I may make it, I may not!! HOwever, it does seem that once the babies arrive (and this is my second) there ain't much time fer postin!
Hub, I txted Charley yesterday but didn't hear back. I expect if they did go home they are all trying to settle in after quite a hellish week. I'll let you know as soon as I hear, unless she posts herself
Any of you pregnant people feel like you are being constantly stared at? Or rather your bump is?? After I saw the mw, I went into town and treated myself to 2 lipsticks So many people just stared at my bump!!! I thought it was quite normal sized until a woman actually came up to me in a shop and put her hands on my tummy and commiserated with me about the size of it and how terrible it must be to be pregnant in this heat etc etc etc!!!
Hmmmm I have been told I look like i have a basketball stuck up my tshirt and from the back I don't look pregnant, so all this attention annoyed me quite a lot
Still, a positive spin on yesterday includes Having time to myself without dd, buying 2 new lipsticks, eating 4 packets of crisps, eating a snickers with my cuppa, watching the tennis, having a good supper with dp, dd being very cute and wanting lots of cuddles, soaking my feet and watching Murphy's Law, having a quick facial steam, cleaning the larder, confirmation of my tax refund, ordering some baby stuff and not feeling too tired all day
See you all later!!!
