Please say 'Yes'. Midwife said it does not mean much and I could still go overdue . Am also 3/5's engaged.

I have so many aches and pains, I can barely function at the moment. The house feels filthy, I am miserable, irritable and a pretty crap mum to the other DCs at the moment. I really want this over!!

Don't think it means much to be honest. However, I measured 41 weeks at 36 and then had DS about 5 days later so you never know...

should be 'fundal' not fndal of course.

Also called DH a 'twat' this morning for no particular reason and made DS cry when I erupted in rage because he put his head out of the car window when I was driving them to school and his school cap blew off on a dual carriageway!! He is now hatless today in 29 degree heat .

I am going to say yes because I think you need to hear it!! Your poor DS! You must feel terrible about it! Hoping its all over soon, and your day improves xx

I hope its yest too as Im 37 weeks measuring 44weeks miserable and achey.
I had another scan as Ive managed to grow 4cm in 1 week and the heads 2/5 eng so anyday now would be good.
Good luck.

sorry - good friend of mine was measuring 40 when she was only 30 weeks and she ended up going to 38. She only went then because she was booked in for a CS due to her previous baby being so big. She was big with her first too and he ended up being 17 days late! They were both over 10lbs.

Having said that (and probably freaked you out no end) my sister was also measuring big and told to expect 10lb babies but they were all under 8lbs - she just carried a lot of water and had huge placentas which lay in positions which made her measure bigger. She was 10/11 days over with all 3 btw.

Hi I was measuring 40 weeks at 37 last time and went into labour 12 days early. So I hope you do have the baby soon. I feel your pain it's awful at the end when your knackered and uncomfortable all the time.
