Anyone else nrly due and can see no way out in sight?

[Cheekychops84]

due tomorrow and no signs at all. This is dc3 . I'm hot fat breathless been up all night can hardly move and feeling really depressed. Sweep booked for Tuesday. I can see no end in sight I wake up everyday plonk myself on the sofa and that's where I stay I'm sure I'm a bit depressed but needi g every muscle in my body to heave myself to my feet is really getting to me now.

I'm going to have to join you if thats ok!

I'm due today but have had no signs at all! It will be my first. I've tried all the things that are meant to get things started since week 38 (apart from walking as I have bad SPD) with no luck so far.

Ate my Greek salad- it was lovely . Saw my doctor. She said baby's head still quite high up, but as to timing "after 39 weeks it's anyone's guess". BUT either I am having contractions, or I've got bad wind.

Going to be induced at 41 weeks if haven't gone into labour spontaneously by then.

Fingers crossed RichMan that it's contractions!!
I'm the same Illustrated have tried everything and it's all a load of bollocks! Im now clinging to the full moon theory.......have they rang with your induction date yet Cheeky ? X

Omg no I'm gonna cry :,( I rang my Drs they sed she back nxt Tuesday! Ive started a thread about it for advise I can't go on with no end in sight anymore :,( ! Hello illustrated ! I'm done trying it's a joke I dnt like curry anymore makes me stink of garlic :( pineapple gives me heartburn ! Sex ha well that's like a poxy game if twister in the dark however we can even get close enuff to make contact ! Sorry tmi! Walking jus gives me chronic back ache ! Clary sage has knocked me out and makes me snore and dribble and as for bouncing on a ball and having a sweep I wont even go there today :)

Anyone else still waiting or is it just me :(

Hey cheese and onion hows it going ? Any more twinges ?

Definitely not just you cheese. I'm miserably sat waiting for something, ANYTHING at all. But nope. Big fat nothing since Saturday! :( x

I've had 2 sweeps now and still nothing :( had a show yesterday morning and had some period pains/back ache but then today nothing......I'm so fed up and keep bursting into tears today I'm so uncomfortable with SPD I can't bare the thought of another 5 days of this (induction booked for monday) how's your little beauty doing cheeky? When were you due super? X

I didn't think I was in labour as they were like painful braxton hicks so if u get more of these ur heading the right way !

Fingers crossed cos I really don't want to be induced! On the birthball eating pineapple as we speak haha x

I was due on Sat. SPD making me cry too - especially in the night, keep waking up and completely despairing at the pain, and the thought of another god knows how many days I've got to sit around all day, in agony, essentially watching the clock tick because it hurts too much to walk anywhere. Boo! The biggest problem for me with all of this really is that it's too much time to worry - worried about baby being ok, worried about whether SPD will go (please god!) or not. Having first sweep on Sat but at the moment can't imagine it's going to work as body just seems completely normal - apart from hideous SPD! :( Grumble, grumble...

Yes, Cheeky, tell us lovely stories about life on the other side!

Cheese I had that hun the sweep on the tue pains then by we'd nothing but we'd night frequent braxton hicks phoned hosp sed I'm sure I'm wasting your time but can I come in for u to check me ? They were fine the midwife said he going to give me another good sweep then walk for an hour which really kicked it off went back he broke my waters bingo an hour all over ! Can u ask for another sweep or sneakily go in for monitoring if your over they may offer u another one ? I had a male midwife he was brill with the sweep

Super- the night time is horrendous isn't it trying to get to sleep while it feels like your pelvis is being ripped apart.Everyone keeps telling me to go for a long walk but I can barely hobble to the bathroom its got that bad, I think that's what's getting me down - the fact I'm in too much pain to go out anywhere so getting mega frustrated sat in the house.......cheeky- I had thought about going in for monitoring and seeing if they offer anther sweep but tbh I think this boy is in for the long haul! X

Exactly! I think I'd be soooo much better if I could just be a nice mobile heavily pregnant lady who can go for nice strolls etc. I look at other women with SUCH envy and almost awe at the way they're able to walk. It's definitely the cabin fever and the days dragging so much more because can't go anywhere that makes it so much worse. Poor us eh?! Oh, also, while I'm going on, why has nobody in RL even bloody heard of SPD?! I feel like people must think I'm making it up - especially women who have children themselves and have no experience or knowledge of it - i feel like they look at me on my crutches and think 'REALLY?!'

Haha none of my RL friends family have ever heard of it either! makes me feel like such a fraud having crutches I've not used them as much as I should have .......and as nice as people are by trying to keep me cheery with 'he will be worth it' and 'not much longer now' I'm ready to scream lol....sorry for being such a miserable cow :( do you know what your having super? X

Well I spent all those days like u wishing her out now she seems so vulnerable I want her back in ha ha !

Been having contractions every 10ish mins since bout 12.30 last night :D how you doing super? X

Hi Cheese, this end I had contractions every 20 mins from about 6 last night, then every 10 mins from 11-3 in the morning, then every 5 mins for a couple of hours, each one more and more painful. But then since then they've been working themselves back down! Still as painful, if not more, but first they went back to every ten minutes and now they're more like every 25, and they're not lasting very long either! :(

When I'd been getting the 5 mins ones in the night I called the labour ward to see if I should go in. They said no and to wait til it was every 3 mins. It's since then that it's gone in the opposite direction!

Feel so bloody deflated - really thought I was getting somewhere, but now feel back to square one!

How are you getting on?

Well my littl boy was born at 01:58 11.08.12 weighing a whopping 10lb11 !! Hope you've had your LO super?? X

Congratulations cheese! I've now finally got my little poppet out too, I'd post weight but you just put me to shame with 10lb11! Wow! Well done us though, the wait seems so long ago now - and definitely worth every minute for the miracle at the end of it all! x

Congrats super! At last the wait is over :D x

Due on Tuesday, lots of uncomfort, feel like baby is RIGHT there but... NOTHING

This is my third pregnancy but will be my second baby.

Hubby is back to work tomorrow after the weekend, he is praying it will be tonight. Jasper was 3 days early... so we can only hope

Due on weds, my third dc, nothing happening here either (apart from me moaning a lot).

How are you coping with the waiting? Feel like I am stuck in limbo at the moment!
