I WANT THIS BABY OUUUUUTTT!

[SpawnChorus]

I'm 40 + 11 and beginning to get really stressed about this bloody stubborn baby.

I am HUGE. My DS was 10lb 9oz and I'm seriously concerned that this one is going to be bigger. Both of my other Cs came 8 days late....WHY is this one still in???!!

I'm pretty sure he's also not in a particularly good position...I can usually feel limbs to the front/right.

I've been walking, bouncing, shagging and crawling around (not all at the same time obv), and have been getting a few more BH contrax and some really rather sore stabby pains in my lower bump / pubic bone, but NOTHING that feels like impending labour.

I haven't managed to get more than about five hours (broken) sleep a night for the last week or so.

I CAN'T BEAR IT. I WANT HIM OUT OUT OUT! Actually it's not even the discomfort and eagerness to meet him that's making me desperate, but more the worry that there's someting wrong. Maye he's so huge that he can't descend properly...or maybe he's tangled in the cord.

I realise this sounds like the rantings of a deranged woman....but I am, so live with it.

soubnds like a bloody show,so that sounds hopeful

mummamango - I'm hoping to go for some acupuncture today, but it's all dependent on what time my hosp appt is. I wonder if DIY acupuncture could work?

Good to hear Let's hope it's today!!

Ooh so no news from Spawnchorus yet - I wonder if she's had her baby ?
