The berries in the chopper (thread 5). All together now... clench

[CatsCantFlyFast]

For pregnant berries at any stage. Scary thought but this is the one where some babies will appear!

Morning, berries!
Don't want to get you all excited, but had some mild, regular contractions early this morning - but they seem to have petered out now.
So planning to kick around the house all day (in stark contrast to my usual mat leave agenda cough) just in case something happens.

Will keep you posted...

What's everyone else planning for the Easter weekend?

poppy ooh how exciting?! Think we know who's next then! Did they hurt?

A nurse told me how she went into labour 6 weeks early today...no signs, just waters broke and 15 mins later she gave birth! Fortunately, she worked in a hospital but I don't anymore! Has kinda made me worry about how far I'm driving at work...

Ulp, kitty - hope that wasn't a first baby!

Yes, I had a cluster in the wee hours, and then another around 8am - both times tightening across the bump, with something like period pain-type cramps at the base of the bump. But no repetition since, so still waiting around. Having a bounce on my ball to see if that helps

Can you add me to the next list? I always seem to get missed off.

EDD 22/6, boy

Poppy you muct be a bit excited!!!
I am off for 4 days now, so will be a trip to IKEA tomorrow, buggy shopping and scan with the folks on Sat and lunch out or at mine, then Sunday lunch at my sisters on Sun.
Oh and much, much eating of chocolate!

Thanks Foody :)

Enjoy your weekend, it sounds great. I've got 5yo step-daughter for 4 days and I'm dreading it. I know that sounds awful but I'm just not physically or emotionally up to it :(

poppy it was!!! Can you imagine if I went into labour at a patient's house?! Erm awkward!!! Any more contractions? Are we placing bets yet about when you're popping?!

angel I think you needs lots of sofa time with hot chocolate! will she be up for that? Maybe some cake making too? the supermarket kits are pretty good if you want something easy.
Hope she's not too much of a little maddam

Aw she's lovely but just a ball of energy. I've got to stuff to make some Easter nest cakes (the very limit of my baking ability)

I decided to go to IKEA this eve instead of tomorrow, but forgot about the logistics of getting flat packed chest of drawers on the trolley then into my car
Thanksfully I was able to kind of slide the box onto the trolley then found a very nice man to lift it into the car for me. It will noe stay in the car until OH gets home gets back about 10.30

Oooooh poppy you had that baby yet?!?

Holy cramp! Just had the most horrendous cramp in my foot OUCHY!

Ok it is only 7.00 but we haven't heard from poppy....,

angel how about lots if Disney DVDs so you can just vegetate? Maybe make it a Disney singalong day????

So Dh is in BIG trouble this morning! Woke up to his drunken vomit all over the toilet inc the seat. This is, his heavily pregnant unsuspecting wife has to get up several times a night to wee/move hips so hadn't realised she'd sat in it several times

Don't panic, berries - I'm still here. No more contractions I'm afraid
Felt shattered and really uncomfortable all of yesterday, so really hoped things were kicking off, but no further signs.

kitty that sounds like entirely justified anger!
foody well done you for braving Ikea. I postponed going until our PIL volunteered to go for us
angel hope your day with SD goes well.

Gar about the waiting poppy - sending you birth-y vibes…

kitty I would also be livid! Gross!

Lie-ins rock!
layzing about trying to chose a new phone deal, trouble is I can't make a decision!

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww bad mrkitty

Any more Easter plans? We had a lovely meal with my folks and sis last night and Off to lunch with my bestie and her family today, haven't seen them since we told them our news a few weeks back so can't wait

lazy day here too!

Oh away til tomorrow so been on a lovely sunny dog walk this morn, done a little ironing and popped out to the shop. now just lazing about with kindle and tv til another dog walk later!

Lovely!

poppy it can't be long now though, surely?

Dh has made up for vomit encrusted toilet seat by taking me to lunch...gave into the medium rare steak..naughty but man it was good!!!

Quiet in here again, wonder if poppy is popping...?

It is quiet! Typing this on my new tablet and its not bad

put the wardrobes back up in the babys room last night and put up the crib
