Afraid not DM! I was really sick before I went to bed last night and I wondered whether it was because I was going to go in to labour but it was probably just too much pizza and a too hot bedroom! It was weird though, I'm not usually a vomiter! I'm feeling more pressure down low so I'm really hoping baby might be lower and I *may* have had a bit of a show earlier but I couldn't inspect very carefully as DS1 was watching me! It was just snotty stuff on the tissue when I wiped and I haven't had sex for a couple of days so I don't think it was the other! I keep getting upset because DS1 is going on a school trip tomorrow and I'm really worried about it (they're going to a very busy outdoor show and I'm terrified he'll get lost - then there's my usual worry about traffic accidents ....) and now I'm convinced I'll go in to labour and won't be able to see him off on the bus or collect him to make sure he's ok. On a positive note, a midwife I know (she's mum to a little girl in DS1's class) works at the hospital we'll go to and she's on nights for the next 3 nights and I would love to have her with me. I just feel like this baby's never going to come - silly because of course she is but I'm going to have to have the induction talk with my midwife on Friday if she hasn't arrived by then and I'm not sure how that will go because I would rather have extra monitoring to check me and baby are ok and only induce if that's not the case. I'm babbling I know - my ticker is mocking me!!
Dannikins - sorry about the false start, I hope it happens for real soon!
Hugs zanacal, but it sounds like something is starting to happen! I know how you feel, Ds1 arrived at 41+1 and I was so depressed because it seriously felt liked he wasn´t going to come anymore lol. You´re going to have a great birth in the next days with your midwife friend!:fingers::fingers::fingers:
You must be sooo frustrated, Z! I've never gone overdue and hope I never do because I don't think my midwives will let me go very long overdue with a VBAC - and they won't even induce - I'll have to get a c-section!
It really sounds like things are starting to happen! I bet by Friday you'll be holding a baby! I puked like crazy the day before I had #3 and I found it helped efface me and drop him much lower in my pelvis so let's hope it's done the same for you!
And I know you probably know this Mocha but- Overdue does NOT equal big baby or rupture. Midwives are just trying to cover their own butt(as the rules they follow(made by insurance companies) say that they should do things a certain way but many midwives feel that they have no say when it comes to regulations...they actually love it when the woman says no and follows what she feels is best...it's just that they can't tell you that).
Whether you're 2 days or 10 days over makes no difference whether or not the baby will come vaginally. Fat squishes and baby will come out:) Plus, l think that waiting for baby to find the perfect position is really important and will make the birth so much smoother:) Remember that you hold all the power in your hands- they don't LET you do things....you tell them what you want. No one can use force and in the end it's your birth~ you decide what you want:) xoxoxo
I really don't feel like things are starting to happen - unless being in a really foul, crappy mood (especially with the children!) counts as a sign?!
Zanacal: Have you tried eating pineapple and spicy food.. and maybe accupressure/accupuncture?
DoulaMama went into labor after her accupuncture session! :)
Thanks for your insight, DM. Of course I know in my heart it's my body and my decision, but it's nice to hear from a professional that most midwives would support me in any decision I make. Hopefully it won't be an issue because ds3 came the day before his due date, and I'm really hoping this little girl comes on time!
I did consider making an acupuncture appointment but it's SO expensive and, in all honesty, I'm not convinced that anything really works and that when people insist things did they likely would have had the baby that day anyway. I just have to remind myself to relax and let her come when she's ready - but I'm having a bad day! We have curry for dinner tonight - but we do that a lot anyway, it doesn't have any effect on my bowels (which I think is the theory when it comes to inducing labour!).Quote:

PS- I was in the most foul mood the day that DS3 came. My hubby even mentioned that hopefully I was in labour as he couldn't imagine me being pregnant any longer....I had him 8 hrs later...LOL
i have only been over due once 'so far', and it totally sucks!
everyday you are over due feels like a month, its the most torturous, dragged out part of the entire pregnancy.
really hope your little one gets moving real soon Z, like today would be good...:)
Thanks both x
I was pleased not to go in to labour overnight so I could get DS1 off on his school trip and I get to collect him in half an hour - I'll be so relieved to have him home! I've been getting braxton hicks all day long which hasn't happened before (they're usually very on and off!) so I'm hopeful for tonight - my last chance for a May baby!!
Z - I really hope tonight's the night! :HH:
Eat pineapple Z.. just try it! ;)
Everything I've read says it's a no-go - and I can't be bothered ripping my mouth to pieces to test it! I think I'm far better off just relaxing and thinking good things :D Thanks though!
wow Z
all those braxtons...yup tonight is the night!
If I hadn't been so on-off I'd think so! They're reminding me of how 'proper' labour feels - eek and owch!Quote:

Hey ladies - I've been stalking dannikins' FB page, and it looks like she had her baby last night...and it's a GIRL!!!!
I hope she doesn't mind me updating, but I know everyone was dying to know what she was having.
Danni - I'm so thrilled for you! Enjoy your daughter!
I was stalking her FB page this am and I just saw the news!!! Soooo excited for you, Danni!!!! Enjoy your new little peanut!!! xoxo
Grats Danni...can't wait to see pix and hear the name!!!!!!!!! Whoo hooo!!!!!!!!!!
OMG....see what happens when my computer crashes (yet again) and I am without it for a whole day!!!
Congrats Z and Dannikins!!!!!
I must say this as I hear all the awesome baby girls being born after 3 or more boys......"I am a little sad!"
Don't get me wrong after everything I have been through I love my boys and wouldn't change them or the fact I have them....but with the paper signed to signify the finality of not having more children and never having a little girl ever.....my heart is sad....sigh......just another bump in my already crazy life I guess.
Sorry been a little down these days with the thought of never having more kids.....even if they were all boys!
Princess Sarah,
I can only imagine the finality being tough. I told myself that 3 was my max, and now we're having 3, my heart still longs for a 4th!!! I'm not even done being pregnant with my 3rd and I feel this weird need to keep the door open for another. I can totally relate to how that must feel...I read your entire blog this weekend and it moved me to tears several times, but especially the parts about your angel baby Evan....my DS2 is named Evan, and everytime I read the name, it gave me goosebumps! You have been thru so much, but your boys are sooo handsome and cute! Looks like you have such an awesome family...I love how even your pets are of the male persuasion!
:hugs:, princess - I think everything you're feeling is completely normal - especially with all the postpartum hormones you're dealing with. This baby would have been it for me too - boy or girl.
Congrats Z, I can't believe she is finally here!
Congrats to you too Dannikins! Did you have a feeling it was a girl? So exciting!
Hugs Princess. I am not feeling done either and I'm not sure I ever will. It is so hard to close the door on that chapter of life, I think.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Congratulations dannikins!!!!:cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer:
Princess:hugs: I can totally imagine you feel this way, don´t know what to say :HH:
