Any other MN impatient for their August arrivals???

[Roz14]

Hi all. I am 38 plus 5 days pregnant and just wondering if there is any MN out there getting a little impatient with all this waiting. I am getting a lot of sharp pains and some back ache but nothing that really indicates that I will be going into labour any day soon. Anyone else feeling the same??? My EDD is 26th August - the day after my birthday so am looking forward to a really speacial birthday present

Cinnamon & tweakers - thanks for thinking about me today. It would have been good to say that I had gone into Labour but the baby has decided that she wont be arriving today (so far).

Cinnamon - your contractions are sounding really positive, try not let all the waiting get you down.

Tweakers - How exciting about your sweep - Let the race begin

Jungle - I am trying to be patient, thanks for the pressure point information - I am going to look into that. By the way, how is the little one?

tweakers - Yes! 50% effaced? You're halfway there! Your DH is home? Well...go on then..ha ha!

Roz - the day's not over yet! Bub is great, sleeping and eating well and loves to be cuddled. He is a bit flaky from being overdue so have to rub him with olive oil. Thanks for asking.

If you're planning to breastfeed and are yet to deliver, take a moment to appreciate your lovely, supple painfree nipples while you have them!
These first few days of initiating breastfeeding constantly remind me of one MNer's nn 'whatfreshhellisthis' ha ha!

WelcometotheJungle When I thought I was going to deliver DS the first time I was standing at the end of the bed but the midwife was too nervous and made me kneel on the bed, turned out she was wrong about how dilated I was and I ended up delivering on my back in stirrups! I breastfed DS with a lot of pain for first 8 weeks so hoping this time it won't be as bad as I know what I'm doing this time, after 8 weeks was a breeze! And not snooring at all.

Sounds great tweakers, lets hope mine is as positive tomorrow.

There are still almost 5 hours of today left Roz14!

Hi everyone,

Just popping on quickly to let you know DS2 arrived on Friday 3rd Sep weighing 7 lbs 12. Born at Term + 14, all went well induction started on wednesday evening slow progression but happily minimal pain during that time. Waters broken Friday morning syntocinon started at 3 pm and beautiful boy born at 9 pm, feeding well, sleeping during day partying all night!

Congratulations to all the other new arrivals and for those still in waiting it does end!

Congratulations growingbump2 - you have made me feel much more positive after reading your post. Im 40+11 at moment and due for an induction on Wednesday. Well done for being so patient

I had reflexology today and think I now might be in the very early stages of labour. Trying to time contractions but not quite sure if they are true or not! Seem painful enough to me though! On my birthing ball too. Maybe Tues 7th will be the day...?

ooh, sounds exciting DG
think i might be in a similar position...

Congratulations growingbump2!

Up early again tweakers, sounds promising for you. Absolutely nothing happening for me, got my sweep today. Midwife phoned last night but I was putting ds to bed and my dh has some kind of aversion to answering the phone so have to wait for her to ring back today. Bloody man got so angry at me because I was annoyed that I missed the call. It's a bit of an ongoing thing with us, that he won't answer the phone because people can leave a message or ring back but if it's his work mobile it's answered straight away even if he's on holiday or it's the weekend! So ended up shouting at me, so another day with lots of tears and still don't know when my sweep is :(

Just thought I would let you know Tweakers LO is on the way. Hope she doesn't mind :)

Yay tweakers!!! Fingers crossed Roz14's is too as haven't heard anything today.

Had my sweep today, have a 2 os cervix which the midwife thinks explains why I was told to push when not fully dilated with DS! Outer os is 3cm and inner one is just 1cm, cervix is soft and effacing but still posterior. She said she expects to be back Friday :(. Will then book induction for Sunday or Monday. Looks like I am left here on my own at the moment!

porca had baby alessandro monday 2pm,9lb 4

natural in the end, gas air and managed to push him out

more to follow xx

Congratulations porcamiseria! It really is only me left :(

Congratulations porca, that's a big one to push out with gas and air! Not long to go cinnamon , it will be worth the wait, you are doing really well.

not the easiest hour of my life!!!

hang on in there cinnamon

agree ref nipples, its 2.30am and ds screaming and have no milk and nipplesfeelrazered

forgot how hard it can be....

Hey Cinnamon... just to let you know it's not just you left. I was due 31st August. Still waiting.....

Yay! Are you having any sweeps/ being induced soon nearlymumofone?

hang on girls. I was booked for induction and he came of his own accord 10 days late. he was huge tho!!!!

I am glad he came natural, tho I did have my waters broke

Hello, baby boy came on Sunday 5th at 42 weeks exactly. 8lb 7oz we are all fine and came home yesterday.

No induction needed :)

Congratulations Cosmosis! I won't get a chance to get to 42 weeks, the monitoring if I turn down induction is just too much for me to manage.

Hubby is quite glad now that he knows I will have the baby by Monday so he can organise things at work, trying to look at the positive side and that my labour started with one gel with DS so will hopefully be the same this time if I have to be induced.

Congrats growingbump2 - term+14 what a wait you've had. All worth it now hey? I know what you mean about sleeping all day and partying all night!

Congrats porca - what a lovely name you have chosen. Agree with big bub on gas and air.

Congrats to you too Cosmosis.

Cinnamon - roll on Sun/Mon hey?

tweakers - Whats happening with you, did those surges step up?

Have been having contractions every 20-30mins this afternoon but they aren't hugely painful so I don't know if they are really doing anything but might not have to wait til Sunday WelcometotheJungle! oopsandbabycoconuts posted Tuesday that tweakers' baby was on its way.

hello all, sorry, need to catch up on all your news but in the meantime....
