Due in August 2009

Emz I thought the same thing. When I saw the specialist when I was over due with Caden, he booked me in at 42 weeks to be induced, even though I said how much pain I was in with the sciatic nerve and stuff, i just wanted Caden out.
Im glad that I'll only be going to 41 weeks this time if i do go over due, but just bummed it needs to be a CS as I cant be induced to to previous CS.

I have an upset tummy tonight and very loose BM's(sorry tmi) and my sciatic nerve is playing up AND I ahve major cervix pain. Lame lame lame

Urghh yes I felt sick before dinner too, didnt feel like throwing up but felt very blahh.
Now my tummy is griping and Im on the verge of running to the loo again, fantastic!!!
Im scared when I sit on the loo, cos the sciatic nerve plays up sometimes and omg, that aint fun when your on the loo!!

Dont think we will be having any "relations" tonight lol!

Urghh that would annoy me too Emz. My MIL kept going on about me having a C Section "Oh but you wont have to go through laboour, have a C Section!"
Its like, um hello, the recovery from a c section is so much harder than a vaginal birth!! I dont want major surgery again if i can help, hence why Im trying a VBAC! Plus, I will take advice form my own mother thanks! gah lol

ouch ouch ouch, the pain I might drag myself to bed as well, Im really downy tonight

Morning,

Gosh Im up early this morning! Couldnt sleep, I have too many things going through my head
Plus my throat is still sore and now Im blowing my nose etc, great!!
A cup of tea will soothe it a bit...

Dani was the blood bright red like a period? Or was it more blood streaked mucous??
Just my MW always says to me if its blood like a period then call her right away, but if its blood streaked mucous then its part of the bloody show.

I know how you feel, I had this with my son, nights/days of contractions that lead to nothing Then finally at 41 weeks 2 days my waters broke, and he was born 48 hours later!

With your contractions, when you get to the point of needing to go to hospital and call your MW etc, by that stage you should be having trouble talking through them etc Thats when you know you are in labour.

Hmmm yeah id be ringing her about the blood, to be on the safe side for sure!

I went bonkers dani lol, but basicly, a hot water bottle and panadol and walking round, showers etc they all helped, but it was horrible.

Oh Dani. I have to say, right now, at this moment - I will take my lazy comfortable baby rather than 2 days of contractions and bleeding.

The acupuncture did improve my mood, if nothing else - which I'm pretty sure DH is happy to pay for!    I've been right miserable lately and I have to say that I"m not please as I've just noticed that my stretchmarks which HAD been staying below my belly button have started to make the migration north - NOT impressed. Not that I would ever wear a bikini but Boo!!!

I was up and down last night with a sort tummy and loose BMs - but pretty sure it had something to do with the spicy chicken wings DH made for dinner and not baby.

I'm planning on going to see a movie by myself this afternoon and then tomorrow I"m seeing a friend for morning tea. Then Thursday is MW and acupuncturist. I'm hoping I don't have to plan TOO many days after that.

And Good LUck Tanya for today!!!

Hope you guys that are waiting get your babies soon!

On the breastfeeding issue - it's blimmen hard! Here in our hospital they wouldn't let anyone top up with formula and were really PC about it which really doesn't help. So hugs Alsi - like Nix said (I think) a happy and healthy baby and mum is the most important thing I think and if you are just stressing yourself out breastfeeding and not getting the support then it's only going to result in an unhappy baby and mum.

We had a good night, thank god, just waking for feeds and settling straight after. Don't know what we did differently but I'm hoping we can repeat it. And the little fatso only lost 12g in his first week!

You mut be doinf well eoth the feeding then BEC!

Is Tanya getting induced today? Goodluck!

And hope you are dialated atleast a bit Dani, after having that pain and blood!

MW has just been and Leah is 10pd 3! What a fatso, so she has pretty much put a pound on in one week.

We had our first night without formula last night. she went down at 830, and we assumed she would be back up in 30 minutes (as he usually doesn't go down till midnight) - so we didnt botgher going to bed will about 11pm and Leah ended up not waking till 1:30...so I wasted all that time and didn't sleep

Leah had her firt smiles today...she did it for the MW and my mum....but then for me. They were definately smiles...as MW said, otherwise I would have just thought it was wind.
