Lol ok I would try but my boobs hurt anyway!

I was due yesterday. This is my second baby. I'm roasting hot and pretty uncomfortable. I've had one sweep already which did nothing. I'm just hoping the baby will come soon!

Due on the 23rd... If one more person tells me I 'have a while to go yet' (MIL) I might scream :)

Greenrabbit · 12/07/2013 22:36

Due on the 18th, no signs yet. I'm booked in for an elc that day if I don't go into labour by then. DC1 was induced at 42 weeks so I'm pretty sure I'll be having the section.

Good luck to everyone. Smile

gertrudestein · 12/07/2013 22:40

Due on 6th July :(
Bored of waiting, really want to avoid an induction
Bought some evening primrose oil today and have been mainlining raspberry leaf tea ....

Hi, I'm also due 17th with my second and in slow labour.
I could have wrote your op myself lol

GivemeaCamembert · 12/07/2013 22:47

Due on the 18th too, having lots of random twinges and pains but they never develop, so frustrating. Can't be doing with the heat and i've forgotten what my ankles look like!

TomDaleysTrunks · 13/07/2013 05:18

Due on 27th. Had irregular contractions all yesterday afternoon / evening with lower back pain. Stopped at 11 last night but now can't sleep. So frustrated.

ReikiMummy · 13/07/2013 10:31

Due date yesterday...
doused oneself in the aromatherapy oils from midwife yesterday...
Lower backache most of the day yesterday...
Seems to have gone again this morning though. :)

I think LO is just too comfy!

Isitme1 · 13/07/2013 10:33

Had a lot of pain last night. Was in tears and couldn't move at all but then they just stopped Hmm
Guessing its slow labour again.

Isitme have you tried bouncing on a ball or a long walk? Hope things get going for you.
Few more twinges but nothing to get excited about!

cogitosum · 13/07/2013 11:33

Due yesterday. Had a few twinges and a bit of a (ahem) clear out over the last few days (started a thread about it) but nothing else.

Actually feeling pretty good just really excited about meeting him! I've been walking a couple of miles a day and bouncing manically on the ball!

Isitme1 · 13/07/2013 11:37

Had same problem again isitme...it seems contractions like to start overnight so I don't sleep but fine in day. Been like this for two weeks. I just want this LO out! :( heat is killing me today and my crazy DH suggested we go for a walk to encourage baby out. I responded with a 'are you nutty?' look.

Isitme1 · 13/07/2013 12:29

Im still very crampy but this is manageable. If I would of had another 10 mins of pain last night I would of gone to hospital.

Chocomama1 · 13/07/2013 12:58

Yes my contractions are in the evening aswell...i wonder why this is??

OP posts:
gertrudestein · 13/07/2013 13:39

I've also got that - not sure if it's wishful thinking? Or just stronger than usual BH? It's getting me down because I can't sleep at night because of the pain, then during the day nothing happens!

Jollyb · 13/07/2013 13:45

Hi I'm due on the 27th but booked to have a section next Friday.

Had some cramps last night and went into a panic as have been in complete denial about the fact that I could go into labour before my section date.

Finding today really tough - don't want to be near anyone. Feel like a mother cat who just wants to be left alone in a cupboard until she gives birth. It's taking all my effort to stop snapping at DP and DD.

Six days to go . . . . ,

Isitme1 · 13/07/2013 14:11

Its the bloody heat!

I've got ceiling fan on here and I can only just feel it!
Just bought some groceries and got a few pots to wash.
