October Babies! (continued)

[motherofboys]

Even less news here. Everything has stopped. Back to feeling like his going to be late now.

24 hours from now I'll be in the hospital, and I still can't picture having a fourth child. I'm nervous and excited, and I'm ready but somehow not ready either. I kind of just feel like crying a whole lot.

I second the Lactulose peb, the last thing you want is to be constipated leading up to labour.

Katie I can't picture another child yet either but I'm sure once they're here it'll be just like they've always been a part of the family.

So much for saying I felt too comfortable the other day. We spent Sat walking around a big caravanning exhibition (4 hrs) and now I am soo sore in the lower back, hoping it's helped move everything along though.

Motherofboys I hope things start up again soon. A bloody show is a great sign, I think you'll go before your due date.

Good luck for tomorrow Katie, can't wait for your update.

Feeling very fed up here. I'm not even overdue yet but I really hoped I would have the baby this weekend. DH goes to college in the evenings after work Monday-Wednesday, he leaves the house before I wake up and gets back late at night when I'm in bed so I pretty much don't see him at all those days. I'm finding it really hard doing everything by myself I'm so exhausted, I'm always in a bad mood on Sundays dreading it. He's taking 2 weeks off work when I have the baby so I had hoped if I had the baby this weekend then I wouldn't have to cope all on my own next week. But I'll probably go overdue and have to do it for another 2 weeks.

Have been trying everything, pineapple, licorice, walking, sex, been drinking raspberry leaf tea since 34 weeks and eating dates since 36 weeks. Having absolutely no signs of anything happening.

[motherofboys]

I hope your right, I am now convinced I'll go way over. DH is convinced it will be this week.

Hi Friends,

I am currently 37+4 weeks, this evening 4p.m had intercourse and we both reached our orgasms... 2 hours Post intercourse, I had developed dull backache, leg pain... And was feeling menstrual like cramps and developed mild contractions for nearly 4 hours continuously... Now time is 11pm.. Water is not broken, and mucus plug too not released... Should I go to doctor tommorrow or its just false labor... Kindly guide me with ur inputs... As this is my first pregnancy...

champranjani I would just wait and see how things progress overnight. You can always call your doctor or hospital for advice. Sounds like it could be the start but could easily still stop at the stage. Also keep in mind that early labour can take a lot longer with first baby.

Any baby news Katie?
