I've been pregnant forever

[Tea1Sugar]

Does anyone else feel this way? I'm only 31+2 so less than 8 weeks until elcs but I am so so over being pregnant!!

I've popped too! Friday evening, DS2 was born just before midnight. 9lbs. Same feeling of relief and never again!!!

Ah well done ladies-congratulations! I'm bouncing on my ball now you've given me some hope.
Happy new born snuggles and that wonderful smell they have. Xxxx

brilliant news well done ladies enjoy new born snuggles

Pirates, that's brilliant. Well done. So pleased for you.

Congratulations to both of you, well done!

Spookey
I can not take any credit though!

how is it going Banana?

Really slowly. Been having contractions since 3.10pm- yesterday!! DP took the day off and we arranged childcare today- it's amounted to NOTHING. I'm getting fed up!!!

can you get a sweep tomorrow?

I'm due to see the mw on wed so will get one then if nothing developes. It's totally different from the other 2, they just started thick and fast straight away, non of this un certainty. Hopefully I will be awoken in the night with full on one's after all this warm up!

I'm sick of hearing "each pg is different" but it's true.

I was induced with DS1- waters broke but no contractions.
he was a forceps delivery

DS2 - Nothing at all. induced at term plus 11, but still nothing till term +13. then they broke the waters, then drip, then he came, exactly 42 weeks!

DS3 - I think I said it before, all started after sweep, naturally. waters broke with first push

DS4 - ELSC due to footling breech

DS5 - Sweep to birth 12 hours (9 days late

DD - waters broke to birth 12 hours.

I've no idea what to expect this time, so I'm expecting nothing!

hopefully it will kick off. best thing you can do while waiting is eat, sleep and rest/relax as much as you can. not long now.

Congratulations spooky that's lovely news
Enjoy your lovely new dd and addition to the family xx

I know I wasn't feeling bothered about being/going over until all the start stopping started and stopped. Now it's planted the seed in my head!
I've got some accupuncture booked for tomorrow and then mw hit date wed, so it may( or may not) encourage things!!!

how are you feeling today banana?

Morning,
How are you?
I'm feeling a bit periody so trying not to focus on it too much. Kiddies are at school and nursery today so just going to get the house straight before I go into spontaneous labour-as that's what needs to happen now!!!!

Oh good luck banana that sounds positive x

I haven't been able to find a part of the Moses basket for weeks. I've been semi convinced that this is the reason I've gone over-(cause all wasn't ready). Anyway I've found it and put it all together, I just caught myself looking at this Moses basket in complete puzzlement and confusion wondering why my waters hadn't immediately broken once is put it together!!

Somebody needs to get a grip!!!

poor you, sorry magic handle didn't work!

I'm good, only 23 weeks today so a loooooong time before I start thinking about sweeps and stuff!

How is it going banana ? Any spontaneous waters breaking yet?

I am up all night feeding - had completely forgotten what is was like lol xx

Up feeding here too! But wouldn't swap this perfect squishy bundle for being 9 months pregnant for all the tea in china!

Morning all and all your babies!

Nothing as yet, really sting Braxton hicks through the night. I still feel periody and keep having sharp back pains. Midwife this afternoon for a sweep and is imagine to book induction. I'm not losing hope though, I think it will happen!!

• strong BH

imagine your cervix is a beautiful flower opening up its petals!

if that doesn't help, at least it might make you piss yourself laughing!

I have heard this wonderful description before, I have a vivid imagination, however my face has the same puzzled expression as it did after yesterday's Moses basket moment and probably what it will look like after going to second base with the mw later!!

what time is app?

ask if your cervix is "ripe" (I know, glamorous expression! ) and if it is ask her to go give it a real good tugging.

fx

or should I say legs wide open?

Had the sweep. The mw said I'm 3 cm and touched the babies head which made me twitch! She said she'd expect it to happen within 24 hours so we shall see..... Booked in for another on Friday if it doesn't and then induction next Tuesday, so fingers not legs crossed!!
