And would like to keep me company? Am 40+2 with no3 and whilst was happy for bubba not to come early, id really rather have liked her to come by now! Very grateful to be feeling well and sleeping well but impatient to meet her and could have introduced her to a lot of lovely people this weekend had she have come by now!!!

After lurking for a week can I join? 40+2 with dc2. Was induced at 42+1 with my DS 3 years ago. Had a sweep on my due date as got bad spd and can barely walk but it doesn't seem to have done anything Confused

TonksLupin · 24/01/2014 17:26

SPD is awful isn't it? Well 3rd sweep have me strong contractions for a few hours yesterday but nothing since! We have family visiting until Sunday (not staying with us) and I really wanted them to meet baby before they go but not looking likely Hmm

lastnightopenedmyeyes · 24/01/2014 18:23

Yes tonks. I've been housebound for the past week, I can't walk more than a few steps. Confused

islasmummy2013 · 24/01/2014 23:31

Hello can I join! Im 39+4 and want to meet my baby!

Mumoftaiba · 25/01/2014 00:30

Can i join too! I am 40+3 had a sweep today hopefully it works if not will be induced on thur. Good luck ladies Smile

GinotPrigio · 25/01/2014 08:55

We've not had any babies arrive in the last couple of days so fingers crossed we'll have a few this weekend. 40+5 here and utterly fed up and miserable. Was getting a lot of tightening sand twinges last night but it's all settled down again Hmm

lastnightopenedmyeyes · 25/01/2014 08:58

Feeling pretty awful as was awake between 2 and 6 feeling sick and crampy. About an hour ago I thought my waters had gone I've had a massive show and have low down period ache and constant back pain. Today could be the day for me, or at least it's looking a bit more hopeful!

GinotPrigio · 25/01/2014 09:24

Ouuu that's looking very hopeful Lastnight!

flyawayblue · 25/01/2014 10:11

Good luck lastnight

I'm waiting around for the ward to have space to start my induction. Not good at waiting....

KatieChooChoo · 25/01/2014 10:21

im 37+3 and im ready. This is my 2nd pregnancy and the baby has been really low through out, he is so low down now im struggling getting up off my fat pregnant arse !

Good luck everyone xx

Starfish86 · 25/01/2014 10:47

I'm 37 weeks and bored already. Just want to meet him. I think he might still be breech though :-0

Starfish86 · 25/01/2014 10:48

37 weeks and bored already. Just want to meet him :-0 been getting shooting pains in top of thigh :-/

lastnightopenedmyeyes · 25/01/2014 11:26

Nothing remotely exciting has happened so far...

TonksLupin · 25/01/2014 13:12

Hoping these babies make an appearance soon! Just had 3 big gushes of fluid (whilst out shopping Blush) luckily had a maternity pad on just incase! No idea if it was my waters of just normal fluid, midwives want me to wait a few hours before I go in to see if we can tell before. Hoping it is my waters, on the way home now.

Mumoftaiba · 25/01/2014 14:32

Lost my mucous plug but thats it Hmm not getting my hopes lets see

lastnightopenedmyeyes · 25/01/2014 14:37

Ooh good luck tonks.
I've had no contractions or anything since losing plug but I feel really poorly. Shaky and exhausted like I could sleep forever.

ChristineDaae · 25/01/2014 14:40

Fingers crossed Tonks!

TonksLupin · 25/01/2014 20:11

Thanks Smile waters have definitely gone! Back home now waiting for contractions pick up, got a bit of back pain and tightenings every 7 minutes but not much pain at the moment. I have to go into hospital in the morning to be induced if nothing happens. Hoping they'll start themselves!

lastnightopenedmyeyes · 26/01/2014 06:07

Any progress tonks? Nothing here yet.

JBurge · 26/01/2014 06:26

Tonks do some nipple stimulation!!

TonksLupin · 26/01/2014 13:03

I'm here at the hospital on the drip. Contractions started at 5am but didn't really do anything so I had to have the drip, they are now about 6 mins apart. Think he will be here some time during the night Smile

lastnightopenedmyeyes · 26/01/2014 13:38

Good luck tonks Smile

littleraysofsunshine · 26/01/2014 14:44

Good luck tonks!

Due date here but no signs....

TonksLupin · 26/01/2014 20:21

Thanks! 5cm at the moment but things should speed up from now apparently. Had to have an epidural because of my back problems mixed with the drip. I thought I was dying! Then it didn't work which was awful. All sorted now though!

Mumoftaiba · 26/01/2014 20:48

Good luck tonks at least things are on they way. Smile
Im still here and still losing the plug how much can a person have?!
