39 weeks and five days

[Way2Tired]

.. and counting. MW forecasted our son to arrive on the 28th. The closer I get to that date the harder i find it to move, and the pain in the pelvic area is becoming excruciating. Heartburn has increased in intensity too I feel pretty crappy although DH is a complete angel >.< and I feel SO tired -_- are these signs of impeding labor? i don`t have a show yet and the bump is quite normal ( although sometimes harder than usual ).
->feeling exhausted.

It's fear of unknown but you will get to meet your lovely baby and start the great journey of being a mum. It's an amazing experience

well.. 41 weeks+2 days now and had 2nd sweep. i guess not it's just a matter of waiting :) i am more relaxed since mw confirmed our son is perfectly fine ..

Glad you are relaxed. Let's hope something happens soon

too bad we cant change the title of the thread, i should name it 40+ weeks and counting :D

Way2tired. Any twinges or anything?

nope .. still here, still pregnant... dunno if this qualifies as a twinge but our son seems a bit more active than the usual. how about you?

That's a shame. Nothing here either

our kids will be the most laid back

Can I join in? Although 'only' 39+3 I am so fed up now. Waddling around with a bowling ball between my legs, pooping constantly, twinges and BH and intense pressure. Also friends and family won't stop texting to ask if anything's happened. Love them all but, Gah. Woe is me.

Of course. Yes friends and family become very invested in it, as though we wouldn't tell them if we'd had a baby?!
I'm 40+6 now. And being relatively patient(?).
Joys of the last few weeks, feels like a lifetime doesn't it?

Yes it's strange isn't it - as if it would somehow slip my mind to let them know. I had a neighbour stand infront of me yesterday and ask to my face if I hadn't had the baby yet. I just stood there, massively pregnant, trying to think of something vaguely polite to say when my brain was screaming "no shit, Sherlock."

I have thoroughly enjoyed being pregnant, but so many friends told me the last few weeks are the hardest, I guess I just didn't quite appreciate that until now.

Wishing you all the very best, hope things start moving along for you soon x

Ok I thought I was being patient but I've lost it now. I don't even want to wear clothes again until I've given birth. Too uncomfy

finally some contractions this morning. i am hoping this is it , although i know it will last a while. i feel so ...all over the place.

lets see...41 +5 .. it's high time this baby comes out already
@saveitforarinyday - i know what u mean -_- its same here, all relatives an such pull the same move with the donkey in shrek

@zombiezoo - i hear ya. i just wanna crawl in a ball and give birth already, feels like i was pregnant for a whole lifetime. -_-

That's positive. Sending good labour vibes and hope contractions increase and you have baby today

thank you very much. hoping your LO arrives soon too.

Yay Way2Tired! Hope things progress swiftly and smoothly, stay confident and happy. I am envious x

well i hope i`m speeding them up - been out grocery shopping for the week + eating pineapple now -_- i just wanna get it done..

Hopefully your LO will make an appearance some time tonight or early in the morning - would be wonderful to hear how it goes.

Just been out for a walk with my dogs and about to start a sunday roast. Not a sausage happening here baby wise though, but feeling much the same.

i know what u mean -- apparently mine stopped for now ... despite having wolfed down an overdose of pinapple --

Have you got a birth ball, maybe a bounce on that?

doing it as we speak..

Great, come on baby

Forgot to update you all.. I've now a prefect 8 day old baby girl. Hope you all start meeting your babies very soon

I got him csection and pain and all and there he is..breastfeeding greedily

Congrats way2tired. Well done you
