Nope! Take it you haven't either? How are you feeling? My cramps have eased off completely now and plug is dying down too Angry

Hi all. Nothing yet, but every time I go to the loo now I'm seeing some sort of show. Feel very envious of all the women I know who have made it into labour naturally! I'm now 5 days late.

Helsvamp · 13/07/2019 12:13

No baby here too 2 days late starting to think it will not happen lol.

Nope. Not had any cramps. Don't think I've even lost my plug. 4 days over due. The joys Envy

Helsvamp · 13/07/2019 12:53

Dancingelephant try not to worry about the plug as last 2 baby's I didn't loose it until I was 10cm duilated in hospital

Capybaras · 13/07/2019 13:12

I've only had the tiniest amount of blood in my plug so don't think it's the proper 'bloody show'. Plus everything's halted so I wouldn't worry too much @dancingelephants

Although I want all our babies to come ASAP I'm also glad I'm not the only one still waiting!

rach2019 · 13/07/2019 13:21

My waters went this morning and they told me to come in, was 2-3cm dilated when i got here. They've asked me to stay in because baby needs extra monitoring but my contractions have really slowed down now, only having one every 20 minutesish. Very frustrating, if he doesnt make a move they will have to help contractions get started again :(

ememem84 · 13/07/2019 13:25

38 weeks here. On maternity leave now. Just waiting. And waiting. Ds was born at 39 weeks. So fingers crossed dd arrives early. Ideally tonight/later this afternoon as it’ll get me out of a dinner I don’t want to go to! Haha.

Helsvamp · 13/07/2019 15:47

You could just say too tired to go out for meal

Rach2019 oh no I hope baby comes soon

OP posts:
ememem84 · 13/07/2019 15:53

I could. But dh still has to go and he doesn’t want to either.....!! So a legit excuse would be good!!!

Capybaras · 13/07/2019 19:21

Hope everything gets going for you again @rach2019 - at least you know baby's being looked after and should be here soon!

Capybaras · 13/07/2019 19:22

Starting to get the odd contraction pain thing in my pubic area - not into my vagina but where my Pubes are (if that makes sense?) - hoping it's baby burrowing down a bit!

Capybaras · 13/07/2019 19:23

Did you manage to get out of the meal @ememem84 - definitely think you should play the 'I'm pregnant and not feeling great and DH needs to look after me' card to try and get out of it!

ememem84 · 13/07/2019 19:38

Noooo! But it was an early dinner and everyone else was in a rush to go to another bar. So just a main course.

We’re home now. Me and ds are watching fireman Sam.

ememem84 · 13/07/2019 21:01

@Capybaras I’m getting a fizzy pelvis sort of feeling.

rach2019 · 13/07/2019 23:16

Still going, barely contracting but every time I do it wakes me up. Managed about an hours sleep since 5am this morning. They're taking me down to induce me at 6am, I'm so nervous and I dont think I can cope without sleep :( hope everythings going better for everyone else

Triskaidekaphilia · 14/07/2019 00:18

38+2, half the time I think I'm going to go into labour any minute, the other half I reckon it'll be at least 3 weeks! Getting a lot of braxton hicks but they don't hurt, spasmy back pain, and period type cramps but they nearly always end up being trapped wind, constipation or diharroea- can't take my lactulose cos of having both. Apart from the heat I'm not struggling with being pregnant as much now I've finished work, but I am really excited to meet my baby Smile

Capybaras · 14/07/2019 06:40

How are you getting on @rach2019 - did things ramp up overnight!

My weird pelvic pains have died down, 40+5 now are fear my mw is going to really push induction now Sad

mumof23188 · 14/07/2019 10:38

38+4 today! 10 days to go ☺️. Had a really worrying and stressful 2 days with reduced movements. I’m on the list to be scanned Monday to check the placenta and cord. No signs as such that baby is coming anytime soon. Had a good old clean yesterday and sorted everything out. Didn’t stop til 9pm! Hope everyone else is doing well?

AnnieCat84 · 14/07/2019 11:03

39 weeks and struggling with swollen feet and hands and sore knees. I really hope baby is on time!!!!

mumof23188 · 14/07/2019 11:14

@AnnieCat84 hope the swelling eases for you. Mines been coming and going. It’s horrible isn’t it.

MyloC · 14/07/2019 12:07

Hey can I join and stop me from going madSmile?

39 + 1 today and starting to symptom spot. Nothing really happening yet except for some lower backache. First baby so not really sure what to expect!

mumof23188 · 14/07/2019 12:23

Hi @MyloC not long to go now for you. How you feeling?
