Happy June!

[zanacal]

Thanks NBP!

I can't believe it's June and I don't have my baby yet!! At my midwife appointment today I had a sweep but she said it probably wasn't a very good one as my cervix was high and difficult to reach (I knew that, I haven't been able to find it myself in forever!). I've declined an induction for now (ooh, that's interesting - I just had to stop and breathe through a braxton hicks. I have no idea if/how I'll recognise the real thing with all these twinges!) but have asked them to come and give me another sweep on Sunday and I'll ask for another on Tuesday, then I'm booked in for monitoring on Wednesday when I'm 42 weeks to check everything is still ok with baby/placenta/blood flow through the cord etc. I really hope it doesn't come to that though!

Does anybody have any plans for the long weekend/half-term? I've avoided making any plans because I thought I'd have a newborn and I guess I still might - we'll have to find exciting things for the boys to do close to home I guess!

Thanks Nbp! X

Exciting times zanacal! I hope you don't get induced! I hated it both times but saying that ds3 was my best birth by far. Strange isn't it - you think after two they will fly out but nope!

[zanacal]

My midwife said today that fourth babies are said to be the easy ones and third babies the pain in the bum! My third was the easiest - he was the day before his due date and much, much quicker than the others. I won't go for an induction unless there's a medical reason for it so if I'm still here at 42 weeks I'll find myself going to the hospital every day for monitoring!

My friend has 5 kids 3 boys then 2 girls, she said the uneven numbers ie, baby 1, 3 and 5 were the worst deliveries!! lol

Deaks, did u have a scan today? x

[deaks66]

Hi ladies,

oh zanacal, poor you! hopefully she will make a jubilee appearance!

Had lovely scan this morning and although it wasn't confirmed officially, definitely saw his goods again Cant believe how excited i am getting! And again it made me smile so much to see how the profile shots of each of my bubs at 20 weeks are identical!! He is going to be a mini bill/jack i think

Been gardening all afternoon today and can definitely feel that i have overdone it but i just love gardening so much that when i start i just cant stop!

My plans for the weekend are to see friends tomorrow and do something fun, sunday at inlaws to meet our new nephew, monday at home for street/town parties and tues to our fav beach in norfolk..... all providing the weather is ok.

If i don't get a chance to get back on here, have a fab long weekend everyone and i want to hear of at least one new baby by next week pls!! X

Umm - not sure I like all these comments about how baby #3 is the worst labour!!!! I'm already convinced that this is going to be my longest pregnancy - I seem to go longer each time!

Maybe - oh gawd - imagine having to stay in hospital from what 17 weeks!?! That would be insanely difficult - especially if you have other kids. I'm just grumbling about a little fetal monitoring very simple in comparison!

Zanacal - you must be so over the pregnant bit!! I'm feeling really over it today. Been a horrible grump today. And I am only 37wks3days!!!!

Anyhews - better dash...

[Kell]

Awww all these babies so close to being here its all exciting!

Z I really hope things start soon for u

Hope the monitoring goes well Monday Pinga.

I've heard 3rd babies are a pain as well with ds2 I was excited to give birth but this time I am scared :S I have no reason to be, I guess I'm like some of the other ladies who've commented in the past, I've had two good perfect labours I'm worried this won't go quite as well.
But it's too late now lol!

We have a party to go to on Monday with all my family so that will be nice
Today is ds1's 9th birthday so we've been quite busy, but he said its been the best day of the year so I'm happy with that

Lots of your kiddies birthdays this weekend! Hope they all have a lovely time.

Maybe, I've had a few lumps and bumps in my groin since c-section, made me paranoid, but antinbiotics cleared them up and remembered after ds2 I had similar probs, but being a Cancer nurse I get a bit edgy about lumps...

We have a quiet few days planned, Dh putting up a shed with my dad. Not doing anything for jubilee, might go a day trip, if brave enough. Not that big up here, no big celebrations that I know of other than the kids at school on wed when they go back. Trying the colief with the girls till tom, then if no luck changing the milk to apatamil comfort and might go see gp if they still have reflux for some gaviscon sachets that ds2 took. Got a no for local osteopath, might call her if those things don't work.

One of my oldest and dearest friend gets married today about 150 miles away and I can't be there quite emotional about it today, baby hormones to blame! lol

Z and news???

Pinga, OMG! 37wks now...where has the time gone???? so many babies due in the next month it's amazing we all pretty much fell pg within weeks of each other....

Deaks, what a beautiful house you have! and u wanted to move?? hope he had a lovely birthday, you are looking AMAZING!!! x

Better go, DD1 crying for a feed.
