Also, from what I understand, any other action could be a while off yet . . . so I won't leap around just yet (or maybe I should?) xxx

How exciting Spots and Libb - good luck to both of you. Reading this thread is about the only exciting part of my day at the moment. I am bored, bored, bored.....apart from this afternoon when ds fell out of a tree (see my induction thread!)

madgirl · 13/05/2004 19:05

vivat am checking this thread to keep up! mg

spots · 13/05/2004 19:06

Libb I've been having lots of gooky discharge without colour and now think it was show. Hurray!

Still ridiculously excited, must calm down, of course it might not happen for a couple of days yet. But dh and I have been taking photos of each other in baby room wearing nappies as beards, just for the album you understand.

Our meal is plaice and potato gratin, and then EITHER chocolate pots OR ice cream. In case anyone's interested...

Libb love feel free to queue jump! I'm just glad our babe's waited till the car got back from the garage. Can't wait to meet yours!

Vivat just off to check your thread to find out this most unusual sounding induction method...

kbaby · 13/05/2004 20:36

ohh its all exciting :0

Linnet · 13/05/2004 22:04

Ooh it's getting exciting now as Kbaby said.

Well, I'm due today and I'm still here. Father in law sent dh a text message this morning at 8.30am asking if anything had happened yet, then mother in law phoned at 2pm to ask if anything had happened, then dh's friend phoned at 3.30pm to ask if anything had happened, AAGGHH I'm only due today and that's 3 phone calls already, I'm not happy. If I was overdue I'd understand them phoning but for the calls to have started already is a bit annoying.

I keep getting funny sensations and running to the loo to see if I've had a show but nothing yet

Did have back ache this morning and a few tightenings but it didn't come to anything sadly. Dd thinks baby is going to arrive on Saturday that is her prediction.

At dd's gymnastics class tonight the other mums were taking guesses. 2 of them predict a boy and the other 2 predict a girl. One of them even went as far as to predict a girl weighing 6lbs 11oz and born on the 19th. Well, we'll just have to wait and see what happens. Didn't tell them that I am having a girl of course that part is still the big secret.

Dh and I are going to have pasta and sauce for dinner tonight he's gone to Asda to get it and I told him to get a spicy sauce, lol

Good to hear that you're 2cms dialated Spots, when I had my first baby the dr said I'll just check to see if you're dialted and I was also at 2cms and then he said oh I did a sweep as well, didn't tell me he was going to do that! Anyway if you've read the archive thread you know the result. Hence the reason why I'm not keen to have another sweep but that's just because of my personal experience. Plenty of others swear by them.

Hoping that someone has some good news to share soon and that you've all managed to eat your last dinners as a family of two. Off to have my pasta with vine ripened tomatoes and Hot chilli for dinner, eek, wonder if it will work...

libb · 13/05/2004 22:24

Linnet, I read about your doctor doing a sweep then telling you - bang out of order!

Well not much has happened except for the episode earlier, even the aches seem to have disappeared and its been another night in front of the TV - watching a horrible documentary about hospital food, why do I do these things?

Isn't it a little weird that we are taking our time? all the end of May babies will be here before ours at this rate.

Vivat, I hope your son was okay - I haven't been on here much today so missed that particular thread. xxx

Bozza · 13/05/2004 22:28

Still no change here. Went to midwife today and have another appt for next Thursday by which point I will be 4 days overdue or (hoepfully) have a baby. Think I might request a sweep next week because if I am to have baby at home need to avoid induction. Baby 3/5 engaged and midwife doesn't think it will engage anymore until labour.

Good luck to all of you who are starting to get symptoms. Hope to have some more announcements soon.

libb · 13/05/2004 22:31

Oh, and I expect to have the baby tonight as the house, having been kept reasonably presentable since the beginning of maternity leave, now looks like a minor explosion has gone off . . .

Egypt · 14/05/2004 08:11

that would be just typical libb.

any news spots? vivat? anyone?

decided to paint bathroom after all yesterday. had a sudden urge to after watching those on 60 minute makeover make a complete bodge of some poor girl's house. only did the bottom half of course.

soooo fed up, especially not being able to slouch on sofa all day - v uncomfortable to do much else, but M.U...S.....T.....R.E..S......I...S.....T..

was strange last night; was having braxton hicks, not painful, but thought i'd time them and had one every 5/6 minutes. isnt it weird how your body works? fell asleep after the fifth one though

Egypt · 14/05/2004 08:29

Oh Libb! Just seen your waters breaking thread - sounds full on to me. I'm guessing you may be in hospital now - good luck chuck xxxxxxxxxxxx

Toothache · 14/05/2004 08:54

COME ON YOU LOT!

GeorginaA · 14/05/2004 12:44

Has anyone heard from snowbird?

Egypt · 14/05/2004 14:24

Wow! Congratulations, Judd! Now get your tush over to the May Babies thread

Bozza · 14/05/2004 21:34

Good grief - its all taking off on here. Spots and Libb and Judd. Congratulations to you all. I've been having very regular Braxton Hicks like you Egypt. Decided I want the baby to hang on until Sunday afternoon though because DS is going to party on Sunday morning at soft play place and I would feel guilty if he didn't turn up and they lost a fiver...

Egypt · 14/05/2004 21:44

bozza - is there news on libb? havent seen it

Egypt · 15/05/2004 09:57

i'm guessing libb is really underway - or finished now

any more braxton hicks bozza? had dull period pain all night really, last night and still a bit this morning. had some more slightly uncomforatble bh's but i think i am just trying to conjour up pain for myself - so desperate to get this baby out. and i think it is still posterior.

oo-spots, did your baby turn??

Egypt · 15/05/2004 10:00

AAARRGGGGGHHHHHHH JUDD!! CONGRATULATIONS

I did see your message and wrote down your baby's name/weight etc (I have my little list) but didnt congratulate you! So sorry. Well done xxxxxxxxxxx

libb · 15/05/2004 15:46

Hello!

I am back, with one baby and a rather funny walk! It was definitely my waters breaking, the little man came just three hours later at 4am on Friday!

However I did pay the price of such a speedy delivery by getting a third degree tear! ouch . . . he is currently still in his car seat and he can stay there until he wakes properly.

Glad to see you are all doing well and I look forward to seeing your birth stories too!

Lots of Love, Libb xxxxxxxxxx

libb · 15/05/2004 15:46

oops, forgot say he was 7lb 11oz and his name Might be Reuben - or it might not . . . we can't decide. xxx

GeorginaA · 15/05/2004 17:04

Congratulations libb!!!

vivat · 15/05/2004 18:09

Congrats Libb and Judd - fantastic news !!

Needless to say I am still here and now 8 days late - had acupuncture this morning and so far, no effect....but i've booked another one for tomorrow. Never thought i'd look forward to labour quite this much !

vivat · 15/05/2004 18:23

Congrats Spots and Snowbird as well.

Right, think i've caught up with everyone - Who is left on this thread now? And i thought with an EDD of 7th May I would be one of the first to go. Ho hum
