[firstsupermum]

i am realy tired waiting, went it to came out, 6days left and can't wait.
any one due the same day and can't wait too?????

Don't you mean you have 8 days left? lol

I'm due next Friday and very fed up. I wish bubba would hurry up now

oh, yes, thats true 8days, you see what i am talking about, i am tired can't even count correctly. traying to make it shorter.
good luck for you too, are you trying anything for that, like hot shower, or tea.....

OH yes I've tried:

raspberry leaf tea about 5 cups a day. Nothing.
Gym ball bouncing. Doesn't do anything.
Walking. Causes me pain and nothing else lol

How about you?

the same, raspberry leaf and a lotof walk but nothing at all, i also tried hot bath or shower. nothing worked, this is my second, my first was 2weeks late, hope this one came earlier, realy want normal birth this time.

Hi, I'm also due on 17th, though not in such a rush! Still feel I could do with a few more days of lounging around whilst DD is at nursery (3 days a week). To be honest as knackered and uncomfortable as I am, and much as I want to meet my baby, I am well aware that things will get tougher once he's here so not in a hurry for labour and the aftermath (no sleep, sore boobs etc). DH is doing a lot to help right now, but I will have to do more with a newborn . I am a lazy wuss . Was 10 days over with DD and did get pretty desperate by then though! Good luck with bringing yours on though! I'm hoping for a home birth so obviously don't want to go to 2 weeks over. I will check in when ready to eat my words/just get it over with .

hi lilysma , we're due on the same day, good for you your not in a rush, i am realy waiting, i know it will not be easy with my 2years baby and the new one, but i just want it to be done, lucky your DD in the nursery at the moment, my DS getting a very jalouse now, he can feel the baby caming, he like to be traited as baby now and to be called a baby.
oh, i just hopping this will go when he will see the baby.
good luck to us [keep smiling]

i find the newborn easier to deal with then the final weeks/days of pg tbh. Im not sleeping now so won't make much difference!! Nothing you can do ime they just come when ready.

im 39+1 btw

I think my view may be a bit jaded due to the fact that DD didn't sleep AT ALL for the first 4 nights of her life. Well she sort of did but would only doze on the breast and wouldn't be put down. I was in hospital and they wouldn't let us co-sleep, hence I had no sleep apart from the odd hour for a week (30 hours in labour prior to the nights from hell sitting up in a hospital chair with swollen feet bfing all night). So this time going for a home birth, trying to avoid hospital like the plague and v relaxed about co-sleeping - maybe I will manage to get more rest! Am actually sleeping ok at the moment despite heartburn and 5 nightly visits to toilet . Still knackered though...

Firstsupermum I am in awe of the two year age gap - don't think I would have managed it. DD is 5 in November. She's really excited about the new arrival but last night she did suddenly start crying and saying I wouldn't have any time for her once he arrives . So we'll see how she is in reality...I feel like I want to grab and treasure my last days with her as an 'only'.

Good luck to us all!

lilysma i am trying to prepare myself to give a time to abouth off them, i know it will be hard. specially the new baby will need more time and attention, feeding, changing and looking after, its not easy, but its happend now, i wasnt planining this pregnancy, it was the big surprise as my first one was with IVF, i am happy with it , hope i will be ok, i am already streesed with my ds2 and the pregnancy but good luck to us.
