I've seen a thread for June, July and September. But none for the future leo babies!
I'm due on the 3rd! Anyone else around then? :)

Bumpkin has also moved.....
Was on the right, then on the left, now back on the right again.....
I don't want another posterior baby, so just want it stay put. I've probably got one of those awkward shaped pelvis' and the little wriggler has to try anything to engage....
Ho-hum.

alicedee · 14/08/2011 13:02

oooooh, everything's gone quiet......
anyone out there?..........
I hope this means everyone's having some good luck and gone into labour!

Eviepoo · 14/08/2011 14:11

I'm here - still awaiting pains.....

How are you alice?

alicedee · 14/08/2011 21:20

Oh, still the same evie....
I feel like it's still going to be a week at least. I'm taking bets on gender and birthdate.....
I think 24th, for some reason. Thats a week an a half!! Seems like an age...
Still getting lots of BHs, but not convincing.
How is it for you??

Eviepoo · 15/08/2011 17:21

Hi - check up at clinic today
No change
Same again next Monday - and they decide on a induction date then...

littlebrighteyes · 15/08/2011 20:18

no news to report .......as yet

apart from being totally irrational yesterday with husband over time spent with his younger sister,as i was feeling a left out.... lump who cant do alot....and i just wanted my husband to myself.....spent evening arguing and bursting into tears
over every little thing,and saying some nasty exchange of words,,,,,,,

but today we are ok and have cleared the air,and i know i have been very moody and clingy lately-so hoping baby girl will appear soon ........9 days and counting ..............:)

Eviepoo · 15/08/2011 20:34

Eviepoo · 15/08/2011 20:51

Oh good luck for Friday!!

I know I have a maximum of 14 days before they induce me - they said they will defo induce before 41w

14 days just seems like a lifetime today - I feel so crappy that I even started a new thread re pain relielf tonight

mrsmon · 15/08/2011 21:14

thanks evie :)

that would be awful to wait that long! hope your little bundle decides to move before then, i dont think i could put up with anymore heartburn,backache, trapped nerves or anything else any longer than i had to! keep fingers crossed for you:) xx

theonlyhb2 · 16/08/2011 15:30

hello all! just to say hope you all ok, we finally got home on sunday after 5 days in hospital but all ok now - phew! its the most amazing thing not being pregnant and I feel for all of you! hope all your labours are quick like mine was (2&half hours in hospital before Harper popped out!) but none of the after complications.

And to think I though I had constipation from all the mexican food I consumed Tuesday night Grin

cantthinkof1 · 16/08/2011 16:52

MW Appt today - 38+1 measuring 42! DS was 9lb 9oz at 38+3. Next appt 2 weeks.

Peeing every hour at night so not getting much sleep and dehydrated by morning!

Heartburn is just a nightmare but even the thought of Gaviscon gives me the boak now!

My mum needs scraping off the ceiling, she thinks because DS was early so will this one but it seems quite happy where it is just now!

I'm not too fed up yet - just fed up with everyone saying you are enormous and you must be fed up!

alicedee · 16/08/2011 20:30

Hey everybody,
Midwife appointment today. Bumpkin has engaged at last, but is posterior and not putting much pressure on cervix. which is still long. boring.....
MW (and me too!) reckons it's gonna be another week......
DD has been a complete pain today, BP was up and I generally feel like sh*t.
I second that Gaviscon comment. Makes me want to vomit, but still have to guzzle it! Mint or aniseed??
On a positive note, oh there isn't one.........Boo-hoo.
Gonna check your new thread Evie, might start a nihilistic, suicidal end of pregnancy thread soon.....Wink
I hope things are good for everyone else.

Eviepoo · 16/08/2011 22:30

Hi guys,

I had a bit of a melt down today, just started crying. I was awake from 4.30am, gave up at 5.30am and had breakfast 1. Then I napped a bit later. I just feel so fed up, I can barely move, uncomfortable all the time. I can't sleep and find myself wandering round the house. I feel so lonely here at home just waiting. So I cried for ages then threw up my lunch and felt shakey as can be this afternoon. This resulted in me eating at the wrong times and my bloods are all to pot today.

I went to get my haircut this evening - because it was flicking up at odd angles. My hair grows so damn fast - honestly it was well over an inch in 5 weeks, my hairdresser and I decided to take more than normal off. I now have quite a short blunt but shaped bob. It just seems a cm or two just too short for my liking. DH said oh give it an hour or two and it will have grown. LOL maybe a fortnight and it will be more like I like it.

I think yesterday at the clinic just got me down, for an internal a week ago then one yesterday (that really really hurt like hell) to find cervix is still long and not dilated was a bit heartbreaking really, especially as the plan was to induce me this week, only for docs to try and wait til next week to see if my cervix ripens more first. I know the more my body does the better it will be for me but I am now dreading going next Monday....and then they saying come back at weekend or the following Monday for induction. (they have promised to induce by 41w at latest which is a week on Sunday - so I bet they will tell me to go in on the Monday morning). It sounds awful but they thought of all the pains and IBS issues etc for 2 more weeks just is getting to me.
Oh and the MW who did my trace said it wasn't as reactive as she would liek so kept me on for an hour then asked doc to look at it. Doc dismissd it as fine. The MW was sooo nice - I hope I get her when in labour.

I feel soooo guilty for being such a moan, I have a healthy baby in me and I should just get on with it. I just want DH next to me and I think I am getting on his nerves now.

Tomorrow my sis wants to go get a new phone if I am up for it...that means in sis speak that she wants me to drive her. I guess it will get me out of the house.

My friend who had her baby 6 weeks ago said she is up for visitors if I want to go by on Thursday, so I think I will do that too (DH is a little worried as she lives 35 mins drive from us and he is paniccing in case I go in to labou there, I told him don't be daft it won't eb that quick). Again it has to be better than sitting here going stir crazy.

alicedee I put the TENS on for an hour last night and i did feel a whole lot better when I went to bed. I just wish that it would make me sleep too. the 4.30 up was the third time I'd woken up for loo/numb hands.

Tonight I was really bad - I took an omeperazole capsule that my GP said they were safe in PG (and other MUMSNET ladies have been prescribed them too) but the obstetrician told me to take ranitidine instead as there was more evidence of it's safety. The ranitidine I don't find is anywhere near as effective. So I took one this evening just to have one night without the acid and burning hell

OMG I just typed an essay sorry about that guys - I hope you don't mind my spill.

How are you all doing?

Come on baby Dragon stop sticvking your arse out the top of my bump and get out here and see me

Thanks sarge Well today is a new day and the sun is out!!

I also got some sleep last night!! I think I slept from about 11.20 through 2.20. Then straight back to sleep for another hour. Then awake for maybe 30 minutes around 4ish, then awake at 7 when DH got up for work. Thats more than I have had in ages!!

The tummy tablet made a huge diffference - no pain last night. If my IBS brings this burning pain back again non PG thats what I am asking the doc for.

I had that morning sickness thing this morning again...mostly just mucus (sorry TMI)

But when I went to loo this morning there seemed like a big blob of mucus - am thinking that could be a bit of show (wasn't any blood in it).

Maybe the meltdown yesterday was a change in hormones again, maybe my sleep was calm before the storm, and maybe I am clutching at straws again :)

So I think another hour in bed with a cuppa/book is in order just to make sure this day starts off great Grin then I'll meet my little sis for a while later, I might get her to buy me lunch....

hayesgirl · 17/08/2011 08:13

I also need to have a moan! So bloody fed up! Was due Sunday (I know I'm only 3 days over!) And about 5pm Sunday started having quite mild contractions and low back pain. They eased over night although back pain stayed to the point where I needed a bath to try and ease it. Saw midwife lunchtime monday for a sweep. She told me that my cervix was flat and forward and she thought that I wasn't far off now and commented that he may be with us in the next few days. Lost most of my mucous plug that afternoon and the rest during that night. Contractions got lots stronger but were very random - thought great something is happening! Again back ache all Monday night but no contractions, few contractions yesterday and needed hot water bottle for my back ache, then they stopped and haven't really had any since!

Achy heavy legs, back ache, heart burn and crampy pains mean that sleep is just a few hours! Just so damn bored of it all! Sick of people texting asking about the baby! In laws keep "coming for a visit" despite the fact I keep telling them nothing is happening! They are lovely and MIL is very sensitive so can't tell her not to come over! Hubby is busy working so I'm on my own most of the time. I could see friends etc but I don't want to. I just want my hubby around - how pathetic!

Sorry for the long whinge!

VeronaH · 17/08/2011 13:13

Evie its so weird i was exact same as you yesterday, had a meltdown, was balling crying, felt so depressed!! i woke up feeling sick with hungerand then had weird belly pain.

Eviepoo · 17/08/2011 13:47

Hiya Verona

No I am booked into Edinburgh Royal :)

I am 39+3 today (fyi I am 34 now and I had my first when I was only 22)

I slept better last night and feel so much calmer today, I am also convinced a had a bit of show this morning. I have quite achey back and hips, not super sore but a general ache.

I hope things start off soon

hayesgirl we all need a winge my dear :)

alicedee · 17/08/2011 20:02

Well I had a much better day today. DD behaved (mostly) so there wasn't the same stress levels. managed to get out and about to the shops and park.
Snap, with the show Evie, obviously that internal yesterday dislodged a little mucous. Not much though.
Actually slept a bit last night too.
Hope I can tonight. As I really don't want a repeat of yesterday. Luckily DH is off for a bit now, so looking forward to a bit of help.
Isn't it weird that there's 4 of us that all had an awful day on the same day......
cue the twighlight zone music.
