No haha!!! Boys are keeping me busy.
With ds 1 I went 8 days overdue, that's why I'm thinking I'll go overdue again. This baby behaves like he did in my belly.
Ds2 came one day before due date, he's different, total trouble maker untill he turned 1.
With him I also had Bh early on and a lot of them, with ds1 and this one my bump is a lot more relaxed.
Indira- glad you have a 'relaxed' bump lol, just hope you don't have to go too overdue. So excited to see what you are having!
I've been on time with both of mine so expecting the same this time. I really don't feel like anything will happen for a while (which is good, have too much to do before baby arrives).
ds2's birthday party tomorrow so have been baking madly and putting up balloons etc, am exhausted now and looking forward to an early night (as soon as I finish icing his cake).
Kell- sounds like things are getting going! eeek, will be checking for an update!
glad things are going well for you sarah, you are nearly there, can you believe it?! You must be so excited.
Oh dear it really could happen any time the Indira lol! Hope baby stays put till your in laws arrive!
Indigo hope ds's birthday goes well! Your good baking so close to the end :)
No baby signs here I'm affraid, I've told her I'm bored waiting but she's not listening :)
Congratulations Applesoup she is absolutely gorgeous.
I'm still begging my husband to upload photos for you girls as I'm on my phone now, can I put photos from my phone???
Kell honey I use to say I'm bored then bang I went into labour with no warning, I was out at the cinemas the night before.
Isabelle was born posterior so I was in excruciating pain and she just wouldn't move. I'm stitched down there and my muscle on my stomach has separated a fist wide. I'm on some heavy pain killers which knock me out most of the time so I'm sorry I've been Mia for a bit but after the adrenalin wore off from giving birth Im now just crashing. I'm thankful that Isabelle is a good sleeper and only wakes up once a night. Girls, best of luck and thinking of you all xxo
Oh Belle I´m so sorry you had a painful birth. That sounds not so great :( With Ds2 my stitches hurt so much and I was so bothered by them. hope that gets better soon.
That is very sweet from Isabelle that she weeks up only once at night.
With Tapatalk it is very easy to post a picture you made with your phone.
Kell she´s coming this weekend :) She´d better get used to listening to mummy lol
Indigo hope your son had a wonderful birthday party today, you have been busy! I´m mainly living on the couch now.
Saw my dr. this morning, she says baby is engaged well that´s something.
For the rest no contractions and cervix still all closed and hard. Good ´cause we´re still discussing names :worry: pregnancy hormones :sigh:
I´m happy I made it through this week, when my in laws arrive tomorrow I´m ready to go. I´m focusing on Saturday, July 28. Ds1 was born on a Saturday 28.
Well I'm still here! Same ole same ole in terms of bh and back pain etc
Etc, not looking like she will appearing over night anyway!
Belle you poor thing, I have a feeling I'll have a struggle if she hasn't moved to anterior!
Hope things are starting to head in the right direction with sleep etc.
Indira now you can relax a little you may end up with a baby by the end of the weekend ;) hehe
Yes they have arrived so now baby can come. However I really think I´ll go overdue because I don´t even get a lot of BH, it feels like I will give birth in 2 weeks if ever lol.
And Kell, are you ready to have your baby tomorrow :wink: ?
Yes please!
I've arranged to take ds2 to the cinema for the first time in the morning, and then visiting my dad in the afternoon. Fingers crossed I won't have to do any of it and I'll be having a baby instead :)
I'm not convinced the BH make any difference. I've been suffering daily with BH since 25 weeks. last night was the worst ever - I even timed them.. coming anything between 6-2mins apart lasting between 30-40 seconds. I hardly got any sleep.
I have just been to the doctor last Tuesday and there's been no change in my cervix. Nothing! Sweet FA!
I would much prefer the bh to be doing something. a slow dilation would make for a 'faster' real labor.
Journey I think the BH don't do anything now, but when your baby and placenta will be sending signals that they are ready for birth they may help to get things starting more quickly, with ds2 it was like that for me. Here's to hoping! I know they are very annoing.
Kell good you have a nice program for today, hope you will have to cancel it :)
Have any of you done any research on Evening primrose oil to soften the cervix.. I found a link which states its safe to take from 36 weeks. Inducing Labor - 40+ Natural Ways To Induce Labor On Your Own
No I haven't. Is that the same as what they call wonderoil?
Checking out your link now
That's very interesting, a lot of options!
What they call wonderoil in my country is castor oil, that's not something I want to use.
How long do they let you go overdue in your country?
I just read yesterday that in the Netherlands before they would induce at 42 weeks, now it's 41.3 or 41 if you want.
Here in Germany I don't know.
I really would 't like to be induced but I want a healthy baby more.
Well there's still enough time.
Here in Poland my midwife has agreed a max of 10 days over due. I would never take castor oil. Nor would I like to be induce.
I'm just checking out some seemingly harmless gentle things to do.. Slow working..
As soon as I hit 39 Weeks I'm planning to go full steam ahead.. to encourage this little one.
I believe it's similar to raspberry leaf tea, they both help ready the cervix but don't actually induce labour.
Unfortunatly I found out the hard way that nothing works! With ds2 from 37 weeks I tried literally everything! Sex a lot, the big o a lot! Ate all the foods, ran, jumped on trampoline, even tried caster oil twice (omg that stuff is disgusting)
Non of it worked :(
I have no idea how far over due I can go, I have a midwife appointment on Thursday, will have a sweep then and I think be booked in for induction about a week later, so around about 10-12 days over.
5pm here I'm giving up on a due date baby lol
:( O shoot well you never know, third babies can be very quick haha.Quote:

Oh no, I thought you were giving birth.
No news here either.
Well I guess now any day that passes changes of her arriving are higher.
:fx:
I was expecting to see some baby news.. Keeping my fingers crossed for you ladies. :)
Thank you Journey!
I just went swimming in an outdoor pool, it was very fresh but lovely.
I wish I was the swimming type the water would be great for my back pain right now.
I just hate the water. I think I must be the only person who doesn't float. lol, I've not been in to a swimming pool or sea for that matter since I was about 12. :(
Oh what I'd give for a swimming pool here! It's 30degrees today, just too hot for a pregnant woman!
We've got a paddling pool in the garden for the kids I may have to get in! Beached whale style lol!
Had contractions for 4 hours every 10mins last night, darted getting excited then nothing! :(
Oh BOOOOH that is so frustrating!Quote:

Here it´s 30 degrees as well I think and it´s getting hotter every day now. I worried about having to give birth in the heat, but I don´t care anymore :) just want baby to come now!
Lol love the picture of you in the paddling pool :)
Journey too bad you don´t like the water. My backpain got a lot better swimming.
Do you use a babybelt? that did wonders for me too.
it's been 30+ here today too. Only getting hotter as the week goes on. I'm planning to stay in doors.
Nope I dont have a babybelt. I've been managing with naps, warm baths and moving around in to different positions often.
I'm a little bit worried although I'm only 36weeks and I dont 'feel' like I could go in to labor any time soon.
Its a worry in the back of my mind DH is working away. He flew this morning to the north of the country only 1hour flight but a good 4-5hour train ride if anything were to happen. He's back on Thursday night.
But this is going to be happening for the next two more weeks. Tuesday to Thursday away and my Midwife is away in till I hit 39 weeks. :/
Yep I'm in the uk, was only last week we were getting nothing but rain, the weather over here is crazy! Everyone is hot and bothered, kids included and it's making tempers flare lol
I was thinking the same about giving birth in the heat, now I don't care! I told dp in taking the fan from our bedroom with me! Lol
Journey hope lo stays put till you are ready for them. I'm sure things will all be good but I understand your worrys :(
Stay inside little baby J2dF, stay inside!
I had contractions for an hour yesterday evening, not very painful and not regular, but def. contractions. Yay I'm excited something has happened and at the same time relieved that it stopped as I went to bed and got another good night of sleep lol.
Man it's so hot! Only inside the house I feel well, if I have the energy I'll go swimming again this afternoon.
Oh Indira you could have yours baby long before me lol,
3rd day over now :( still no signs really.
I have a sweep tomorrow so imagine I'll be there seeing the midwife Unfortunatly
Yep super warm here too, quite uncomfortable! And I don't have any clothes to wear either which is problematic lol, oh has an interview this afternoon so lil lady can stay put for a few hours!
Hee hee Thanks girls - I've noticed I have some funky feeling going on down low inside my vaj ja.. Perhaps he's dropping a little. :/
Warm here again today -I've been a busy bee, Changing bed covers, ironing and hovering.
Oh and I've already eating three meals and It's only 10:30am :o
Since I can see from the ticker you girls already have children perhaps you'll be bale to help me / Share your experience.
This whole pregnancy I've had some trouble with my poop, I'm lucky to go twice a week.
But since Sunday so the last 4 days I've gone every day.. And had the feeling I really 'needed' to go.
I have read online about loss stools before labor etc...
Did you have this? How long after did labor start? How long did the lose stools last?
I don't have a doctors appointment in till Next Friday August 3rd.
Journey during pregnancy your digestive system is all over the place, constipation or even slowed digestion it completly normal, but it's not unusual to have bouts of loose stools also.
Yes I have experienced loose ones in labour, excuse the tmi but for me it happened quite early on, once I knew I was in labour as I had regular contractions. I knew I was in labour at around 5:30 am and the went to the toilet two or three times in an hour.
But there is a chance you could just have reacted to food differently or there may have been a slight change in hormones which could also cause the same thing.
Okie dokie Thanks Kell :) I figured from reading here and there online that the 'loose stuff' didn't happen in till labor has already started.
Nothing going on here. Some slight movement super low down. and only 4 BH today ! I think thats a record!
Hows everyone doing today? Any babies born last night?
You wake up early Journey!
Nope no baby over here. No contractions either last night. Baby probably thinks it's too hot.
Kell I hope the sweep does something today, if you still need it that is :)
Indira - We had a thunder storm at 4:30am which woke me up, I've not been able to sleep so, Showered, ate breakfast, surfed the net and ate some ice cream - It's ok to ice cream at 7am right :p
Good luck at your sweep. FX it will get things started.
Nope no babe here either :(
Oh had me stimulating my nipples last night to try bring on contractions, i could feel slight twinges and had the odd contraction but nothing once I stopped!
So looks like I'll be getting a sweep and being booked in for and induction :S
And journey ice cream at 7am! Brilliant! I want some lol
Back from the midwife, ha a good sweep, my cervix is central but still a little thick I am 2-3 cm and baby's head is low 3/5engaged.
I'm getting tightnings already which I hope keep coming! Baby is definatly posteria :( but I don't care I just want her here now! I'm booked for induction 3rd August.
Oh thats great news ! Glad it went well - Hopefully you wont be needing that induction.
Get bouncing on a birthing ball and get jiggy :)
Sounds good Kell, hopefully you'll have baby news for us tomorrow!
