    Have you been discharged from the hospital yet, icecreamqueen?

    Yeah have been out since 2. I'm exhausted so I think I'm going to batten down the hatches and cocoon myself into the house for the night now. The sonographer told me she didn't think I'll be going into labour anytime soon, there's still a lot of fluid around the baby. During the scan her little face looked right at me and I got a clear photograph of her. I think she has my Ms.Piggy nose :P. Can't believe I'll meet her soon.

    The pain in my pelvic area is getting quite bad, I can't lift myself out of the seat n it takes me ages to straighten up because of the pain. It kind of goes away when I'm sitting down. I'm debating whether to ring the hospital to just ask if this pain is normal.. it probably is n I'm not getting any other wave of pains either thst could be seen as contractions! It's all so confusing!

    Maybe it's pressure from baby moving and pushing down on your pelvis? I have discomfort all around my hips and lower back, especially when I stand up after sitting on the gym ball for a while, I have to hobble around like John Wayne for a few minutes until its eases! :D weñt for a big walk today, having some light crampy aches but nothing major. And I can i join the rant about people texting too- seriously I thought I was being a cow lol, it's getting annoying now. People are texting me every day asking if there is any movement yet! I feel like saying "I will feckin let you know when baby arrives! Stop asking." I know people only mean well but still, it's frustrating me. Think I'm just having a hormonal day, bleh!

    Congrats jd24 our little girls born the same day on the same hospital. Hope you are recovering well. Xxx

    Congrats Wolf! Cant believe our girls were born the same day, same hospital! Could have been on the same ward...!!! smile.png

    Congrats to you SS on the safe arrive of your baby girl! biggrin.png

    Contractions started on friday for me - very mild, lost MS, followed by bloody show, then went to hospital at 9.30pm on saturday, was 3cm when admitted.

    Amelia was born at 10.20 am on Sunday morning, 8,2.5lbs smile.pngsmile.pngsmile.pngsmile.pngsmile.png

    Labour was traumatic, lost a lot of blood, I was taken to theatre straight after she was born. ended up getting blood transfusion on the third day as bloods were still extremely low.

    having said all that, with my little angel asleep on my chest now, every second was worth it smile.png

    I did the breastfeeding but have now given up. Shes a great feeder but I cant handle the pain. I did it for three days and am happy enough with that.

    How many July babies are left to make an appearance?

    Loubian?
    Icecreamqueen?
    Bundaberg?
    xalot?

    Hopefully not too long ladies x x

    Congrats JD24. Can't get over the amount of girls being born. I'm still waiting here but I'm grand with waiting a while longer. She can take her time :)

    That's good, keep your spirits up. It'll only be a matter of time :). Just found out that my best friend from secondary school had a little girl this morning. Our girls will only have one week of an age difference :). Well here's hoping.

    I'd say you're just building up for labour Loubian. At least something is happening for you. Since the other night, absolutely nothing has happened me. No contradictions or anything.

    I rang the midwife today because I was still getting the pain in my pelvis, it's agony getting out of the chair, baby's movements had slowed down n I was feeling feverish, n I think msinly because of baby's movements, they told me to come in. I had to go to labour ward instead of outpatients, it was mad! So they did a trace, internal etc. Midwife says my cervix has lowered but it still has a lot of work to do, n that if I stay the way i am, I.e. getting irregular pains thst don't amount to anything, it's likely I'll be getting induced! :( so I'm trying to look at the bright side in that she'll be here in a max of ten days, but not looking forward to be this uncomfortable for another week and a half. To top it off, my friends are going to a comedy gig tomorrow and they didn't even both asking me. I know it's more than likely coz I could go any day now but I'd still like to be asked.. plus, all that laughing could actually get me going... oh well, fudge them!

    Not me anyway! Had second sweep which was more uncomfortable but hasn't done anything for me. Was told I was not looking at all favourable, seems I'm here for the long haul, my earlier positivity is fading fast! My god this waiting is so frustrating!

    What does the sweep actually involve?

    Sometimes the sweep moves it along though. O was told my cervix was unfavourable. But three days after the sweep my waters broke, so hopefully you're the same.

    A sweep Loubian is a procedure that involves sticking fingers up against the cervix and pushing against it, while trying to turn it slightly. It tries to loosen the plug naturally while also trying to get the body to produce prostoglandin a labour hormone.

    Not me! Still having irregular cramps but nothing else. This baby is far too comfy in there. Due date tomorrow and I reckon I'll still be waiting this time next week. *sigh!

    I think I may be starting to lose my plug, but it was only a small bit so I'm not getting my hopes up! Getting a few crampy pains too but nothing worth taking note off! I'm totally exhausted though :( I need and want to clean the house but the thought of even sweeping up makes me feel weak! Where is this energy you're meant to get? :(

    I have to worry when my mam is breathing down my neck to help out then giving out that she is doing everything. Yes I can see her doing everything and my two lazy as **** brothers doing nothing n me trying to help as much as I can while being overdue n bloody forbidden to do certain jobs around the house because I'm "not allowed" stretch or climb or whatever else. Sorry for the rant! Just am getting fed up now, I want my baby here.

    To top it off, I have the father hassling me for his surname to be given to the child. I have told him three times she will have my surname, that I'm not changing my mind, but he's not letting it go. He's asking do I think the baby is just mine n u feel like saying yes, yes I do because what have you done for me or her in the last nine months other than give me stress :@ I just don't know what to do :(

    Omg! N now he's saying I didn't want the baby at the start so why am I saying I want her to have my surname because he's the one who wanted a "half cast" as he put it.. that's it, I'm done. Can't put up wh this any more.

    Oh gosh Loubian, you poor thing. I feel for you, I really do. Is there anywhere you could go to get out of the house for a while. You need a little zen den for a while to relax. You need to focus on yourself, not other the cr*p. Some people can be so self serving and always looking out for their own needs.

    I just helped how I could in the house, so that was fine. Me n my mum made up!

    I didn't reply to his text saying I didn't want her, I'd only say something I'd regret! The way he said it could be taken as him admitting that he got me pregnant on purpose but then that could be me looking for things, you know? If he has the cheek to think he wants her more than me, he is severely severely wrong!

    I'm heading out wh a friend for a meal, I'll get the spiciest thing on the menu n go home, drink raspberry leaf tea and bounce on my ball! Hopefully tomorrow I'll lose a bit more of plug n I'll be another step closer!

    I think my waters may have ruptured!

    Do I have to go into the hospital straight away or can I wait? I think the liquid was clear enough!

    Head in. Baby has 24 hours to start her evacuation or else they will help her out. But they will want to keep an eye on these things

    I hope you are in true labour :) so excited for you
