Due date is this weekend and I am just waiting! No signs at all, no Braxton hicks, no show, no cramps. Nothing. I'm currently bouncing on my birthing ball, having been to reflexology, had a vinderloo tonight & drinking raspberry by the truck load! Might breath some clary sage in tonight, otherwise it's sex this weekend!!

Anyone else playing the waiting game..?

Snap. Due this Sunday. Had loads of BHs but have had them for months so not holding my breath.

Due on Monday, bump goes hard every so often, but mostly due to the space invader trying to stick his bum through my belly button. He is kicking up a storm every evening (ie not"calming down and getting ready" like my DM would like to see)
I had DS1 4 days early and assumed this one would be appearing today, but no show, and only get low down pains when I need a number 2.

Totally the same! Bum poked out my left side and he wiggles his feet under my ribs. He literally had a mental day on Monday when he did not stop moving, he must have worn himself out as he has been pretty quite.. Until today.

Bounce, bounce, bounce indeed. Only problem it keeps making me want to pee! And I'm a bit bored..

Due yesterday despite every symptom under the sun ... bugger all

Due Monday but both my other DS were 1 wk over.

Am having horrendous BH but had them since about 30 wks. Am having acupuncture every wk and persuaded my midwife to give me a stretch and sweep yesterday apparently my cervix is softening and shorter. Have also lost mucus plug but he seems determined to stay in there.

Am going for vigorous housework this afternoon to see if that helps. Otherwise am jumping DH tonight. Xmas Grin

If it's any comfort I didn't have a single symptom right up to my waters breaking.

Due today... she says with raspberry leaf tea in one hand, whilst eating a chunk of pineapple..... Had BH for a while but that's all....it's a waiting game!

Due on Monday here! Booked in for a c-sect on tues but planning a home water birth if I go into Labour before then. Went for a sweep this morning, baby engaged, cervix reachable but shut tight so dissappointed couldn't do one. No BH, nothing. Had a run of 6 contractions a few nights ago and got excited but nothing came of it. Fed up now.

I am also due Monday and FTM so think every twinge is the start, but no! I've had dull backache and BH all yesterday but nothing else. the waiting is killing me.

I had reflexology on Thursday and the midwife has booked me in for a sweep Monday. Fingers crossed.

41 and 1 and going crazy! Booked in for induction on Wed but hoping to go before then. Sad

In the meantime just bouncing away and hoping...Grin
