Didn't get it this much with my boys though! Maybe it's because this babe is a girl? Really looking forward to meeting her but you can't rush perfection and I know she needs more time before she is ready.
Anyone else over-due yet? I'm 4 days late and the constant text messages from friends and family are really starting to irritate me. I feel like texting back to each one of them "No, nothing yet. Now piss off." I've been chugging RRL tea, tonight I'm going to go for a long walk and eat something spicy. Maybe thai food. Any other tips? I'm starting to get frustrated and she's not even that late!
Jadis I probably would be the same as you if I was 4 days over cos DD was on time. I assume you are trying all the normal things, EPO, sex, walks, fresh pineapple, bouncing on the birth ball. Another food recipe which I took off the Internet to try next week is the eggplant/Aubergine parmigiana from scalini's it is one of my fav dishes anyway so I am going to make it in their labour inducing way just for fun. Also with DD I had reflexology a few hrs before I went into labour. I am having it regular this pregnancy too but not to stimulate any labour points yet.
Violet I really hear you on the marked increase in cm lately.
Also my Braxton hicks have started feeling uncomfortable this week. I have never felt them before in this pregnancy or my last one so I am hoping it is a sign that my body is gearing up properly this time round.
Thanks Pearl. Just one question- what does EPO mean?
Sorry EPO is evening primrose oil it contains the oils that your body turns into prostaglandins and helps your cervix to soften. I am taking it because I have some left over from my boy sway. I won't know if it is working until the 3rd July as I won't have an internal exam until thenQuote:

Recovery has been easier this time. We were planning to go home from the hospital today but Emma gave us quite a scare yesterday with her breathing, all is well though. Now she is jaundice and has to be on the light until tomorrow. I will post a pic soon.
i had a sweep at 40 + 1 day by midwife when i was 1cm - can they not do anything like that for you? i had already had 2 nights of starting stopping contractions so they said they would do it.
his name is Noah Bradley Sol Gear. this is made up of the middle names of his brothers - its like he is a little part of them all!!!!
hope your bubba comes very soon - its such a horrible wait xx

Onelastdream, that's a beautiful name! What a sweet tribute to his brothers :) I had a mild sweep done on the 19th, but it obviously wasn't aggressive enough. I'll see my midwife again this week and I'll be asking for another sweep. Hope it does the trick, it's super hot here and I just want to move on from pregnancy and meet our newest baby.
Pearl-thanks, I don't have any EPO :( I'm going to keep up with those other suggestions though.
Bama-CONGRATS! Glad to hear that all went well and that you and Emma are doing well. Can't wait for that pic!
I'm not even over due yet and I'm sick of my family asking too. My mom keeps asking "do you feel like having a baby today". Seriously if this baby could just be born when I feel like it I would have had it already. Then it is followed by dont have it Monday or Friday because ....... And make sure you call as soon as you go into labor. Yeah right if I'm in labor the first thing I'm going to do is call you so you can ask me 100 questions and beat me to the hospital before I get the chance to tell the nurses to keep you all out of my room until an hour or so after the baby is born because the last time we were bombarded before the doctor even left the room and hadn't even had the chance to hold the baby.
I never understand why people, specially family, keep asking for news! It's not like you're not going to tell them when the baby arrives! :)
I think the best thing is when people say 'haven't you had the baby yet?' - I was asked that on the day before I had Noah and I wanted to say 'oh yes, that's why I am still resembling an over stuffed hippo and I thought I'd just leave him at home on his own!!!' Obviously I just smiled sweetly and said not yet, hopefully soon!!!! My mum kept calling and asking when I thought it would be lol! I was obviously adopted and she never experienced child birth herself!!!! God I sound awful but I do feel for you guys still waiting. My mil neighbour asked me what I had and then said oh god no, not another boy. Who does she think she is? I am actually ok gd wise at the moment because I'm so in love but that could have sent me over the edge. Good luck to all the births coming up xxx
I guess I'm having a baby today. My doctor did a nst and I was contracting regularly and the heart rate wasn't exactly what he wanted so he sent me over to L&D I'm having contractions very 2 to 3 min so it will be today.
My family is driving me CRAZY already. I told them they were going to send me over but that I didn't have to rush so it would be awhile. They got here before us and are driving me nuts already.
Best of luck mommyof3. I hope everything goes well for you and your DH can keep control of your family so they are not annoying you too much
Best wishes mommyof3! You need a gatekeeper at the delivery room door to keep your family out of your hair until you're ready for them.
Onelastdream, I can't even believe that your mil's neighbour said that. People are just so insensitive! I was out for lunch with my 2 boys today and the cashier asked if I knew what I was having. I said 'it's a girl' and she said 'Oh, thank heavens. Then congratulations to you!'. So what the hell would she have said if I'd said it was a boy?? 'My sympathies'???? Some people just say whatever they want without thinking first.
Some old lady at the grocery store came up to me this week, pointed out the one physical flaw I am most insecure and self-conscious about and said she felt sorry for me because of it. I told her how frigging awesome it feels to have it pointed out by strangers. I've decided that when I reach a certain age, I'm tossing out my filter and I'm just going to let my mouth run off with itself. My kids will be horrified but I'll be having a ball!
Love itQuote:

Jadis - that's so funny - what a great idea! Although I think that happens at a certain age anyway!!
Good luck mommyof3 - hope it goes well!
Congratulations Bama - that's fab news.
Jadis - sorry about that awful woman, what a nightmare. People in shops just don't think. I am sick of people saying 3 boys you must be hoping for a girl. Or worse still asking what I will do if it's another boy. What sort of question is that? Think I'm just getting cranky now as I'm not sleeping well!
Any news from mummy of 3? Hope everything went well x
Just popping in for any updates.......
Sadly my son being in hospital with resperiatory problems, my dad dying anf then having fathers day his birthday and his funeral all within 5 days of each other has not been the last of my bad luck .... the day after the funeral my mum got rushed to hospital with kidney problems so is now in a specialist renal hospital an hour from where I live - It just never rains but it pours hey - oh and baby turned from head down to butt down last night too which in itself was bloody uncomfortable to feel all the turning - Little sod !!!
Was hoping to see some new arrivals to cheer me up - come on ladies :-)
Omg mum23boys am so sorry to hear of all your bad luck and terrible times. Hope you are as ok as can be and your mum gets better soon and your little bubba pops him/herself back round right way xx thinking of you x
We had our baby boy. I got to the hospital at 12:15 and they broke my water a little after 1 and started pitocin a little after 2 and he was born at 5:12 after pushing for 3 contractions. He weighs 8lb 1oz and is 20 inches long so he is actually our smallest baby which really surprised me I really thought he was going to be bigger. We may actually get to use some newborn diapers after all. We both doing really well and he is doing a great job nursing. I will get out my laptop in a while and try to post a picture.
Congrats! Does he have a name yet? X
Big congrats Bama on your new daughter Emma!
Well done mommyof3...great birth. I am sure he is just gorgeous! Glad he is feeding so well. I shall have my third boy this day next week. Not really looking forward to the c section but it has to be. Can't face another attempt at a natural birth only to be disappointed again. Braxton hicks are actually waking me at night....just a delightful parting gift from a pretty rough 3rd pregnancy!
Mum23, I'm so sorry hun. You've really been stuck in a crapstorm recently. I hope your mom recovers quickly. I'll be thinking of you!
Mommyof3, CONGRATS! Can't wait for a pic and to find out what you've named him.
I had a false alarm last night :( I'm now 5 days past my due date and had an aggressive sweep n' stretch yesterday morning. I was having some decent contractions around supper time yesterday, my friend took my oldest son for a sleepover thinking that I might be in labour but it all amounted to nothing. I'm starting to get very frustrated!
Congratulations mommyof3. Glad to hear that everything went well and he is a good feeder for you
Mum23 sorry to head that things have not picked up for you yet. I hope life gets better for you soon
Congrats mummy of 3 x can't wait to see a pic x
Huge congrats mommyof3, bamabelle and onelastdream on the arrival of your little bundles - all the babies are arriving together!
I'm hoping my little lady stops stuck for a while yet but its seeming less and less likely. I've been having period type pains on and off for a couple of days and irregular contractions for the last 2 hours - typical really i never had anything a head of time with the boys when i wanted them out - it feels like if i sneeze too hard at the moment she will be on the floor (although that could just be the SPD). My little man has been really miserable today to so reckon he is probably just about to come down with the chicken pox.
mummy23 i'm really sorry things aren't getting any better for you hunny, have been thinking about you lots. I'm sorry your mom is rough on top of everything else, i hope she is feeling better soon. Won't be long now and hopefully you will be rewarded for all the rubbish by holding your beautiful little baby (daughter) in your arms xx
Jadis maybe the last thing you feel like now but i know loads of moms who swear by sex to things going (mean't to be something in the sperm i think)
Noah having a snooze! Xx
Attachment 12030
Mrs P - hope she stays put - I had bad contractions on and off for a week and half - could have sworn was starting so hope you're the same x
Well, ladies I think this might actually be it. I've been having contractions since 2pm today and it's 8pm here now. They're starting to get a bit more intense so I'm hoping to be holding my girl tonight or tomorrow at some point. I'll update once I've got more news! Really hope they don't fizzle out as they have done the past week.
:fx: for you Jadis!!!
Best of luck jadis. I hope your little girl is in your arms very soon
Noah is sooooooooo gorgeous, i love their little wrinkled up little faces when they are asleep - i think you forget how tiny newborns are - he looks dinky
Good luck Jadis i hope things keep going and go well for you. No news from us - all mine have gone now - which is great - i've waited nine years for her i can wait another 9 days easily and it will be so much better for her to join our family when everything has settled down a bit.
Ds2 is almost over his spots (day 9 now) - mostly scabbed now and he's back to causing trouble and being bored - yeah!!!, BUT ds3 is still grumpy and quite teary but still no signs of spots, not one measly one - i really feel like getting a pen and drawing him on a few see if i can encourage them out - its going to happen so the sooner the better with labor around the corner - i really hope i'm not in labor whilst he's feeling really rough. Hey-ho my mom keeps telling me whatever will be will be and i suppose she's right - i was just so looking forward to the birth and finally getting my little girl
no news from Jadis seems exciting, bet she is holding her little lady now!
So whose next - seems we have kidatheart, jadis and nearlydone and justjessica are all due right about now
