41+3 and have lost all hope of ever having this baby Sad
Dc2, hardly engaged, failed 2nd sweep yesterday and absolutely nothing happening.
No signs, nothing.

I'm giving up.

Really glad to hear things are moving for you now ShowMe (and thinking now that you're on the way it must definitely be my turn now Wink ). Once the water's have gone it definitely does mean your baby will be with you soon. Hope your labour is a nice quick one Thanks

Yay! Good luck! I was overdue with all 3 of mine. It's a right arse! Skipping round our local park got me going. DH and DS1 were very HmmBlush

Good luck Grin

Oooh exciting!!
I'm still waiting... The midwife said she could 'do more' this morning :-/ it felt like it!! But still nada. I've got no milk coming out either Squitza. My baby really is too happy in there.

ShowMeShowMeTheWine · 19/09/2014 17:56

Smile Oh thank you all so much for getting me through this!!

Lots of pink mucus and waters trickling.
Definitely getting contractions - they're a bitch! Grin Having to breathe through them but trying to keep active. They're only lasting about 20 seconds but every 3 mins or so.

Fingers crossed! Going up to labour ward at 8 to get checked.

Squiz - I've never made anything 'milk' like until baby has arrived and I was still bf dd until I was 20something weeks so thought it would stay but obviously not.
