Due anyday? Come in here, part three!

[FastWindow]

Well we have filled up the second thread.

If you want support or just a moan.

Everyone is welcome!

Yes, 18th as well! Although at the dating scan she said I was six days ahead but didn't change the due date as it wasn't seven days ahead!
Dunno if that makes a difference now...
Have you had any twinges cute?

Thank You everyone! We're both home safe and well and I'm patiently waiting for some soup DH is making. I'm absolutely starving. Dd2 (wow! I have 2 Dd's!) isn't latching on. Absolutely new territory for me as both my other 2 had no problems breastfeeding. I've tried everything but she's just not interested, so I'm worried she's hungry. Anyway, don't want to bore you! Oh although I will mention I didn't tear this time! That's a big accomplishment for me!

TwoTears (welcome!) and GreenGiant, Squatting is like when you do a wee behind the bushes in the park. A bit like a frog hop. Put your hands on the ground and bob up and down. Or sit on a small exercise ball and put your knees on the ground and kind of roll the ball with your bum. I did this a lot in the last few weeks whilst watching TV.

fake how lovely to be home already! Did you tear before? I tore last time, a 3b tear, so I am heartened to hear your news! I hope DD2 eats something soon.
Thanks for the explanation of the squatting. I haven't been doing anything apart from lie on the sofa so I best start soon

congrats Fake. such lovely news.

These Braxton hicks / early contractions or whatever you call em.......i know they are meant to feel like tightening across the top of your bump but can they be accompanied by sharp shooting pains up your fanjo and the distinct feel baby is trying to push her way out?? the pain was enough to stop me in my track!

I had exactly this a few hrs ago....lasted about an hr or so and now nothing. I had none if this with dc1!

I should mention this all kicked off after an mw appointment...she was a little bit heavy handed when feeling my bump!

Congratulations Fakebook! Glad to hear you're home and doing well - my DD1 wouldn't latch on for first couple of days. I gave her colostrum from beaker and syringe and expressed for a week (offering boob first then bottle) till she got the hang of it. I'm sure she'll be guzzling soon!

Fingers crossed you're not waiting too much longer Bummy and Greengiant, sounds like you're both really suffering.

Stormbird- I've never been sure what are BH, stretching pains or early contractions either I don't think I had any last time but can't be sure! Baby is very active tonight hopefully warming up for labour!

Welcome two tears!

Well turns out my stop start was actually labour - baby born yesterday morning at 7.50am. Hoping to go home today if I can manage to persuade my bladder to wee on its own! Good luck to you all still waiting.

Congratulations Gubbinsy!

I'm still handing on, induction tomorrow but I'm ready, more than ready! I can't wait.

gubbinsy - congratulations!

Greengiant - it could happen before then

well done and congrats gubbinsy xx

Whoop whoop Gubbins! Congrats lady.

I threw up in my sleep last night. I could have bloody choked to death! This little minion needs to get out!

How's everyone else this morning? Sending positive vibes.

Really hope it all goes well green. Thanks all - boy appears to have developed appetite of a beast!

Hope you don't mind me muscling in - I'm due on Mon 18th and feel more than ready now!

ush hello! I also due on 18th.

I've been really uncomfortable all day. Lots of tightening and lower back ache. I think the baby has dropped as lots of bladder pressure.
I'm hoping nothing happens tonight as I am knackered!

I was due on the 9th, so 40 weeks + 3

I'm exhausted!!

I would very much like it if this baby made an appearance soon. no sign of him moving at all - must be comfy.

D-Day for me today!! 40+10 and baby's time to be evicted!! Come 3pm il be in hospital having my first pessary inserted. So nervous but very excited, praying it works first time!!

Ooooh exciting twotears! Do you know what you're having? How are you this am? My back has been in agony the last couple of days :(

When are you seeing your mw tiredsparrow?

Good luck green!

Was up at hospital last night because of raised bp. Going to drs now to get it checked again. Lots of tightenings and lower back ache. How are you ush?

sparrow hope something happens soon x

Congrats gubbinsy on your baby!

Didn't quite have time to check in yesterday - poor DP off sick with bad cold. He's staying home today too.

Welcome ushuaia, I'm due on 18th as well! Not a lot going on though, getting lots of BH, but been having them since 20 weeks, so don't see them as anything exciting... Have an odd period cramp in the morning and in the evening, but they are not painful at all and I could really easily not even notice them... I think baby is getting lower though. MW appointment next Wed so we'll see then!

Good luck green on your induction, hope you'll be cuddling your little one tonight!

Thank you all, will update later x

Congratulations Gubbinsy!

Good luck for today GreenGiant! Very exciting!

TwoTears, backache sounds good!

Thanks cute! Another 18th, how exciting :)

Just been out or a walk with the dog and I felt like an old lady! Could barely walk, backache is soooo painful and very low down. Lots of tightenings today but not painful, am now getting impatient! How'd you get on at drs twotears?

Good luck Green! Everything crossed.

41 weeks today. Fuck this.

Thanks ladies! Just had the pessary inserted so hopefully not much longer cx
