Thread for mooching around on and whinging about being overdue

[FrannyandZooey]

come and join me in my pit of gloom boredom and a little bit of excitement

I am 2 days over now and no signs whatsoever

I have no reason for asking, btw. just curious

A show is good, and different fanjo fellings... It means things are definitely moving along.

fabio - say to it "when will franny's baby arrive?" and tell us what it does and we will interpret its movements

I can put fish in my paw and try to channel your fanjo.

Please note I am not medically qualified. So this is illegal free fortune telling.
I am doing as squonk says.......

It did a slow motion backflip and landed on the keyboard.
What does this mean?@

turns over = false

that means that franny is not, in fact pregnant, she has wind.

The fish prescribes a very large fart will make it all ok.

Personally I think the fish may need resetting...

I tried it again and it sort of went up at the sides for a bit, then the head started jerking up, before it twisted into a Quaver like shape.
I agree. THe fish needs resetting. I will rest it next to the screen for a short while, and see if it comes to its senses.

franny sweep sounds far kinder than 'stripping of membranes'

perhaps the fish is predicting my movements over the next 24 hours
I am going to do a backflip and land on the keyboard
then I will go up at the sides, with my head jerking up, before twisting into a Quaver like shape
(hmm want quavers now thanks for that)

d'ye know, I'm going to go with "no" to the backflip

Perhaps the fish was channeling the baby?
flipping around, head up....oh dear. That's not good. I'll have another go.

I think the fish has had a stroke.
Just as we were getting somewhere.
Selfish bastard.

fabio - eat the fish.

Why have I not seen this thread before???

I am the queen of the overdue whinging although technically am not overdue until tomorrow.

I have SPD and am utterly miserable want this baby out NOW!

Had a false labour yesterday 4 hours of contractions in the early hours plus about 6 hours during the day but nothing, MW came to visit felt them too and said she would be back later that night to deliver me - talk about getting your hopes up everything has stopped now, I even had a sweep yesterday 1cm dilated soft cervix but nothing.

I thought this was a vegetarian thread

...Franny....?
She has landed too far from the keyboard to type HLP AM NOW A QUVR

oh me vegetarian too although would eat a bloody steak right now if it meant getting a baby out

todays menu includes
6 x RL tablets
lavender oil bath (hate the smell of clary sage and it did nothing last time)
sex
3 x reflexology massages on uterus points on feet
half an hour bouncing on ball

plus I have cleaned out 4 kitchen cupboards must be nesting

Can I moan and whinge here too? I was due yesterday ...had a show a few days ago and have had lots of BH ...but it never seems to develop into anything more.

With you on the 'any news' emails and phone calls too ...think I shall record a 'no we've not got any news yet' message for my voicemail

forget going into school ' haven't you had that baby'
'what are you doing here'
'still here'

etc etc etc
ad nauseam ad nauseam ad nauseam

feeling a tiny bit twingey but hey aren't we all

dp looked extra yum today so i promised him natural prostaglandins! what is the point in that sorry but ( TMI) just confuses any mucus issues!

Just thought about sweep tomorrow - better not!

May I join in? Am 4 days over, which would be fine if I hadn't had DS at 38 weeks and told EVERYONE that no. 2 would probably come early too.

So, I've tried the following...
Sex
Curry
Pineapple juice
Evening primrose oil
Clary sage
Cimicifuga and caulophyllum (homeopathic remedies)
Acupuncture
Champagne (well, cava)
Hot baths
Carrying a toddler up and down the 3 flights of stairs to our flat

Still to try reflexology.

Have I missed anything? Any other old wives tales I should know about

dear god how can you all be bothered
I have tried:

sex
errrr
that's it

anyway fabio LOL "She has landed too far from the keyboard to type HLP AM NOW A QUVR"

give me a clue as to your identity - do I normally follow you around laughing? I don't think so

got a text "we were a bit worried because we have not heard anything"
AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH you have not HEARD anything because there is NOTHING TO HEAR

MrsMac did you know it is meant to be ORAL SEX apparently
oh yes
just what we all feel like

Franny did you email me or was it an impostor?

fabio - that looked yummy

Nooooooooo! Really?

If that's what it takes then I'm going to be pregnant forever.
