congratulations isitme1!Thanks

also to Will & Kate - they had a boy!Thanks

TomDaleysTrunks · 22/07/2013 20:46

Congratulations isitme. Hope you are recovering ok x

wavesandsmiles · 22/07/2013 20:49

Well done isitme, and all the other new arrivals. I'm back to plain old BH territory this evening and getting more fed up....

I even contemplated contacting my stbxh to see if he'd DTD with me to see if that would help but swiftly switched my rational brain back on Blush

Glad that the royal baby is here safely. My first was a boy who also weighed 8lb6 .

marushka82 · 22/07/2013 21:04

Congrats Isitme!

Oh man, I'm so so jealous you guys! Do you reckon I should ask for a sweep at my 40 week app on Wednesday?

ZingWidge · 22/07/2013 21:29

yes Marushka, go for it!

wavesandsmiles · 22/07/2013 21:38

I'd definitely ask for one marushka. I have consultant appointment on Wednesday, when I will be finding out if they are going to let me go much overdue, or whether there is a chance of a sweep at least on my EDD. No concerns re the baby, but I've had HG throughout, and although it is kind of controlled now, I am on medication 3 times a day, and a good day involves 3 or 4 vomits (I try to blot out the bad days). I am hoping that some pity will be shown as I am soooo desperate to be able to eat properly again.

Is anyone here going to get a special royal coin? Fingers crossed for more babies overnight, and over the coming few days Smile

Reebok · 22/07/2013 21:39

Congrats twin! That's great news! And also about Kate and William.

I am seeing no sign of my bubba arriving either marushka. ;(

And my stupid hospital said they cannot see me until next week for 41 weeks as arranged. No appointments available. I may blag it sometime this week and pretend to be in pain so they will see me.

Reebok · 22/07/2013 21:40

Waves definately try to see if they will induce you earlier. As my HG subsided at 37 weeks, they won't consider inducing me earlier than 41 weeks.

Eatchocolatedrinkgreentea · 22/07/2013 22:05

Congratulations to a the new mummies out there this evening!! I started having contractions at 4.30 and went to hospital at 7.15, I'm 2cm so still a long way to go but the intensity of these contractions is immense. Im currently lieing in a tepid bath to help ease them. Although I have a feeling we are getting bigger interval gaps which I don't want, so may get out.
Hope this is it and not a false alarm, DS1 is having his first sleep over and grandma and grandpas house. X

Reebok · 22/07/2013 22:08

Eatchoc, that's great! Hopefully it's not a false alarm! Seem to be dropping like flies on this thread.

Oh wise one zing, can you predict when my LO will join us???

ZingWidge · 22/07/2013 22:36

ok Reebok my DS1 is 12 on Saturday so I predict the 27th for you.

but I hope it's tomorrow! x

TinkyPeet · 22/07/2013 22:46

Well my contractions since 7am have been every 6 mins, getting stronger, but only 1-2cm do I came back home. Back in my bed now sulking and in pain :( did have a significant bloody show tonight though. *sigh.....maybe tomorrow :(

Reebok · 22/07/2013 22:51

That's great tinkypeet...hopefully things continue to progress for you.

Zing noooo! That's too far away! I need this baby out now! I'm so so so fed up! Think I might be the last one left? Anymore ladies overdue??? I need company and help to regain my sanity!

TomDaleysTrunks · 22/07/2013 22:58

Great news tinkypeet and eatchoc. Keep going, you'll have your wee babies soon enough.

Looks like it's just you and me Reebok!

Reebok · 22/07/2013 23:00

I have a feeling I have another week or two to wait especially considering I'm not being seen until 41 weeks.

marushka82 · 22/07/2013 23:37

And me Tom! :D

wavesandsmiles · 22/07/2013 23:44

And me.... I reckon I have a while to go yet!

Reebok · 22/07/2013 23:52

Oh thank God! Was starting to think everyone had left!

marushka82 · 22/07/2013 23:59

Me too! God, so hot, where is the thunderstorm?!
Definitely gonna ask for a sweep on Wednesday! Reebok - which hospital are you giving birth in? It's weird they won't give you a 40 week appointment!

Reebok · 23/07/2013 00:07

Ridiculously hot! Don't want to write on here and out myself marushka lol (tried to pm you but doesn't work). I know it's sucks! When I asked why, they just said cuts. Stupid hospital.

My tummy is making a really funny shape right now like baby has flipped. Top of bump has gone flat and is freaking me out. Has baby just turned funny?

marushka82 · 23/07/2013 00:25

hey, no worries, Reebok!
I'm sitting in bed (DH sleeping) with a wet towel over my shoulders and neck, cannot wait for the thunderstorm!
The little one keeps moving and making weird bulges on my tummy, I have a problem telling where her back and little butt are as I feel she changes position all the time! uh, I hope we all have our babies by the end of this week!

Reebok · 23/07/2013 00:44

So is this movement normal? Really worried me until she started kicking. Bump feels really low and heavy too. I'm sat in front of the fan while my hub sleeps. I feel like punching him because I haven't slept in ages! I really hope so too!

marushka82 · 23/07/2013 00:47

Well I guess movement is better than no movement!

Might go to sleep soon, hope you manage to get some too!

Airfryer · 23/07/2013 00:48

Can I join! Due on 31st but had contractions today......all day. Don't seem tone progressing past the uncomfortable stage into the painful stage! :( had an hours kip and woke up. They're still there but I worse. Grrrr :( really thought I'd be having baby tonight
