@jbx10 @ExhaustedMumofsix @Safxxx thanks ladies. Excited and grateful to have got to full term. This pregnancy didn’t have the easiest start (do they ever?)! Sun is shining and it’s a beautiful morning here ☺️

I feel the same! Bit crampy and braxton hicks during the night. Nothing I got too excited about. Now I just feel same as usual. Going to try and keep distracted today.

I’ve had many Covid tests! Though usually swab myself. They’re a walk in the park compared to a sweep. Just have a tissue to hand cos it’ll make you sneeze. X x x

Safxxx · 10/02/2021 08:40

@Muriel84 your right its a blessing to come this far with all the little or big scares in the way, and if we got this far alittle more wait won't harm us it will be worth it ❤

TeaPiglet · 10/02/2021 08:43

@Safxxx I actually would rather have the swab up my butt rather than nose 😳😂

Safxxx · 10/02/2021 09:00

@TeaPiglet yikes no way 🤣🤣

babbit87 · 10/02/2021 09:00

@Safxxx

It could be worse in china their using the Anal covid tests as its more reliable 😲 🤣🤣🤣
LMAO 🤣 🤣 🤣
TeaPiglet · 10/02/2021 09:01

@Safxxx in my defence I've had my nose broken multiple times so it's sensitive at the best of times haha

LBoz39 · 10/02/2021 09:12

@SearchingForToes congratulations! 🥳 what a lovely quick delivery.

@Stef92 yes it could be that. No snow here...the sun is actually out for once, haven't seen it in a while. Going to drag my daughter out for a walk this afternoon as she has the afternoon off home schooling today

Muriel84 · 10/02/2021 09:21

@Safxxx oh my gosh 🙈🙈🙈 not with these awful piles going on!

Safxxx · 10/02/2021 09:26

@TeaPiglet ok that justifies it 😂

TeaPiglet · 10/02/2021 09:44

@Muriel84 I've got them too, and it's just expert mode for the person doing the swab 🙈😂😂

ExhaustedMumofsix · 10/02/2021 10:26

Swab wasn't half as bad as I thought, lady was very gentle with me but the nose bit tickled like crazy lol.
Definitely glad it's not anal swabs, would've hated to have to hang my arse out the car window 😂 x

TeaPiglet · 10/02/2021 10:41

@ExhaustedMumofsix didn't think of that bit 😂😂😂 you're a funny onion

jbx10 · 10/02/2021 11:31

@ExhaustedMumofsix 😂😂😂 imagine a queue of full term pregnant ladies hanging their arses out the windows for a Covid swab 😂😂

Safxxx · 10/02/2021 14:15

Lol you lot make me laugh 🤣🤣

Still no news on @babydust2412 and @Lnbarne been waiting anxiously.

Anyone else feeling fatigued? My energy is on 0%
Just about dragged myself to make spaghetti Bolognese and had to sit inbetween. 😩

jbx10 · 10/02/2021 14:38

@Safxxx yes I feel dreadful today. Woke up at 5am with a headache that just doesn't want to go & also a bit of sickness & period pains. Not really moved much from my bed today! Spoke to MW for my 38 week app today she's booked me in for a 40 week sweep hoping I won't need it but who knows!

Safxxx · 10/02/2021 15:09

@jbx10 i think due to the walks in very cold weather i've been getting pains since yesterday around the pelvic and lower abdomen & lower back, its like its contracting but not contractions. Stomach feel's very heavy and alot of presssure down below. Suppose coming to end of days now, not long left so these symptoms are part of the package.
Gonna ditch my walk tday, my whole body aches.
Hope you feel better soon, and yes would be lovely to go into labour by 40wks naturaly. You got 12 days left i got 11 days. 🤗

Dorset555 · 10/02/2021 15:12

Hi guys in 40+3 today and my usual midwife was on holiday so saw someone else..she hadn't checked my notes and just asked if I was 'the overdue girl'. Its really irritated me as I've been trying to see things positively and not focus on the due date! ☹
Had some reflexology yesterday which was lovely and I was feeling really positive about everything and getting into the trusting my body headspace but this ladies comments have really disheartend me- and there were plenty more comments :-(

still no signs of plug/cramps. A friend of a friend said cleaning the kitchen floor worked for her...is it worth ago? I'm not overly keen..😂

nursey1993 · 10/02/2021 15:26

@Safxxx feeling the exhaustion today too! Went to bed at 10 last night with headache & cramping and still didnt get sleeping till near 2 🙄 ... ive had continuous cramping since sunday evening, bump has dropped but no other signs! Thankfully we've had no snow here yet so have managed a walk today and yesterday!

@Dorset555 If its any help I cleaned the grout in the 2 bathrooms upstairs yesterday, on hands and knees & Just did the kitchen floor there now and its made no difference lol. But if you really feel like cleaning go for it 🤪 I'm only 38+4 though, maybe itll get something going for you, who knows 😬

Safxxx · 10/02/2021 15:46

@Dorset555 thats not very nice of the MW, but as much as we hate it need to get used to it as even i've got ppl asking any news yet?? I'm 38+3 and it can be annoying.
Just do what your doing stay positive thru your reflexology. As for getting on all fours to clean it worked for 1 lady on this thread who has given birth, no harm in trying if you got the energy for it. Good luck Xx

@@nursey1993 Glad i'm not the only one feeling the exhaustion, seem's like your body is getting prepared for labour with all that cramping 🤞 these last days are hard, hope you feel better soon Xxx

nursey1993 · 10/02/2021 15:56

@Safxxx I know this stage can last a while but wouldnt it be great for these babies to be here before next weekend 🤗

TeaPiglet · 10/02/2021 16:05

I did it yesterday and it helped get my belly lower but no real signs of anything happening. Just got period pains yet again and feeling irritated so I'm getting DH to take me a frozen lemonade from maccies but without that awful strawberry syrup on top

Safxxx · 10/02/2021 16:10

@nursey1993 i really do hope so 🤞🤞

Safxxx · 10/02/2021 16:16

@TeaPiglet a frozen lemonade in this weather? Mind you i've been craving their strawberry milkshakes, but put it off due to cold lol. As i get bad heart burn i crave something cold but as soon as i take gaviscon the craving goes...but i do have lemonade bottle in the fridge, that helps it too. Xx

babydust2412 · 10/02/2021 16:26

After a labour lasting over 24 hours my beautiful boy has arrived by c section xx
Dilated to 10cm but he was sunny side up and refused to move round so ended in c section ❤️ but we are both healthy x
Avery born 10.02.21 at 1.21pm weighing 8lb 1 xx

@babydust2412 congratulations!! What a beautiful baby boy 🤍

@Safxxx I know exactly what you mean I think the cold made my pelvis area cramp up too. I've given my walk today a miss it was snowing on and off too and just couldn't face it today! We don't have long to go at all 🤞🏽 we go naturally by 40 but even if not as long as they get here safe and sound xx
