"Sigh". Anyone else overdue and fed up?

[Melly19MummyToBe]

I just need to moan :( Was due last tuesday. So now I'm 41+1. Had a sweep yesterday, and going back for one tomorrow, what a great birthday that will be! Due to be induced on Sunday (fathers day!) at 7:45am. Anyone else want to come and have a moan about being overdue? [fed up]

[shinydiscoball]

Ah bollocks, you should be bloody sorry Melly, starting a thread for fed up pregnant women to have a lovely moan and then you go and get on with giving birth! Grrr.

:o massive congratulations and well done, gorgeous name too.

3 days and counting to my induction! Hope everyone's OK today.

Hey I had a contraction last night! Thats 4 days since the last one...do you think I should start timing and phone the delivery suite lol

Anyone got any suggestions of nice things to do when you're the size of a whale and cant walk more than a few hundred yards? I'm bored with the sofa and the TV

[shinydiscoball]

any day now jasmine and you'll have another one, hope you've got the delivery suite on speed dial! :o

As for nice things to do, I'm the same as you, bored silly. Watched all the Sky+'d stuff, daytime TV is pants, the ironing's done and my house is spotless! If you get any bright ideas or suggestions, let me know :)

Sick to death of being told "enjoy the peace and relax while you can, you'll miss it soon/you won't know what's hit you/think you're tired now, you'll know what tired is when the baby's here!!" Grr. Just feck off.

Shiny re the comments from friends...feck off indeed. Have you found the website //haveyouhadthatbabyyet.com - always a winner in response to annoying 'any news?' texts!

[shinydiscoball]

I've just had a good old belly laugh at that, thank you - exactly what I needed! :o

[MrsTMT]

Sorry to butt in, but that website is really funny! :o) Every morning I look at my mobile and hope that nobody has texted me asking about the baby! I know they mean well but I am so frustrated of waiting at the moment..

I had the show yesterday morning but apart from that nothing.. As this is my first one, I am not even sure what to expect so any pain or twinge makes me think, is this it? And then nothing..

I got my sweep tomorrow but I am not holding much hope as it seems that it doesn't work for most people..?

:)

ps. even my midwife told me to enjoy my time as 'lady of leisure' (yeah right) as it will be gone very soon and then I won't have time for relaxing..!

[jasmine51]

MrsTMT well a show kind of indicates that your cervix is on the move so you might find the sweep kicks things off. Mine happened the other way round with a sweep first then a show but that was last Thursday....nada

I just took a fall in town, straight onto the kerb, full whack....DH thinks I'm trying unfair tactics now to get this little one moving...as if I'd risk splitting my leggings in that way, it would be a complete disaster as they are the only thing I can wear! Anyway, it didnt work, apart from having a bloody knee, little one has obviously hunkered down even more securely. No chance of me getting a wet sponge off you lot for the moment.

[MrsTMT]

jasmine Oh gosh, I hope you are ok? Desperate measures eh..! :o

Fingers crossed this sweep will work, I am only getting one and then next thing is induction I guess I find out tomorrow when that is.

Congratulations! Love the name - hope you are very happy and getting lots of cuddles from your DH and DD! Still here am very piddled off now! This baby is far too comfy! Good luck everyone! Skinny - I know how you feel! Said to hubby yesterday is it wrong to want to kick you in the shins because I want you to be as uncomfortable as me? He vanished to the kitchen and appeared back 10 minutes later having done the dishwasher, made me a cuppa and with a huge bar of chocolate! Might try that one again! lol! On the upside have finally been given a date for induction - Saturday! Yeah! Dont think I will be strutting my stuff on the dancefloor of a birthday party I have been invited to! On the other hand...if the induction doesnt work.....

[jasmine51]

Just had an hour of vigorous bouncing around a swimming pool...nope, no movement....
Anyone else?

[emsdarling31]

Well done Jasmine for making it to the pool! I cant imagine having the energy at mo! Am at the 41+6 days mark now and my optimism from last week is really wearing thin now...walked to the market today and just sooo tiring! really running out of things to do. my induction was booked for Tues but hospital unit was full so keep telling me to ring back...am in a queue! Feel like cattle! doesnt help that the midwives are so dismissive...I know they deal with it everyday but they should remember the hormonal pregnant woman on the other end of the line is feeling very vulnerable! The hubby is in a foul mood too as he has had to take his paternity even though she hasnt arrived and feels he wont have any time with her at this rate! Anyway hoping the stork brings us all contractions this eve!!!??? :)

[MrsTMT]

Hi, how is everyone today?

I had my sweep yesterday (well, they couldn't do it after all) Funny enough after we got back from the hospital I started getting some contractions for couple of hours. Then they stopped. Later we went for a walk and that started the contractions again, I had them every 10 mins or so for few hours but they must have died down during the night as I managed to even sleep few hours and now nothing! Grrr..

emsdarling How horrible that they keep postponing your induction..! I know we are just numbers for them but you would hope that they would understand how stressful this is for us! Mine is booked for Tues now (41 wks today) At first they booked it for Thur but we asked if possible to have it a bit earlier (as my hospital did tell me that they will induce 40 + 12) so they changed it. I'm worried too that when the day comes there is no beds available.
I keep my fingers crossed that your contractions start very soon/or there is a bed available for you at the hospital!

I know I'm sorry, if it's any consolation it's bloody knackering and I'm shattered! Anyone else popped yet?
