Thankyou for all of your lovely messages and support during the last 9months and throughout my labour. A big thanks goes to PinkyPrincess for doing my labour thread for me. As i had a bit of a rough time and ended up having to have an emergency c-section, it's taken me a while to recover both...

Hi Girls, First text of the day from PinkyPrincess: "On our way to the hospital, they want us in for 9!!!" I will be updating as and when i get news, if i get tied up with baby at any point Lilmoomin will be updating for me :) Good Luck Becky! So excited for you chick! xxx 9.30am - "So my...

Well ladies i'm going in to have my baby in the morning! Lots of emotions - nervous, scared but very excited too. PinkyPrincess is my text buddy and will be updating for me, that's if things don't kick off for her in the mean time :lol: I don't have a smart phone or anything so won't be able to...

So, i've been getting period like cramps and pains in my foof/cervix area for the past few days. Yesterday evening i could of sworn i was going into the early stages of labour but i've woken today with just back ache again :roll: Going for the final sweep attempt at 2pm. I'm really hoping that...

I have suffered really badly with this throughout the pregnancy and still do. I'm just wondering what, if anything, they do about it when your in labour - do they give an enema to clear you out before the pushing stage? xxx

I am feeling so anxious and panicky at the moment. If i don't go into labour naturally i am getting induced on Thursday. I know that this is what being pregnant is all about, getting the baby out at the end, but i am so scared. I feel like an emotional wreck. I'm scared of the birth it's self...

for xmas eve :( Throughout my pregnancy i have been under consultant led care and have been told that they won't allow me to go too far over my due date because of my condition. Well, i had an appt with a terrible consultant yesterday who basically told me that they can't induce me any earlier...

Can't believe it's finally here, it's been a long time coming!! :dance::dance: xxx

I've just been the loo (for a wee - if that makes a difference!lol) and when i wiped there was a very small amount of clear discharge with pinky bits in it. Could this be a bit of my mucus plug? It was only a really small amount though. xxx

and again it was unsuccessful as my cervix is still closed :( It really hurt this time as she was having a good go at getting her finger in there! She said my cervix was soft but still quite far back, basically it hadn't changed at all since the previous sweep 4days earlier. She did say that...

about my weight!!! I have avoided weighing myself throughout my pregnancy as i thought that what will be will be and i didn't think i was putting much on anyway. Well i have just weighed myself and have put on 3STONE!!! I can't believe it! I don't even think that i look that much bigger than...

:pompom: Just want to thank you a bit more publicly, rather than sending you a PM, for sending the hand splints as i want everyone to know how kind you are!!! :) I've just received them and they look perfect, can't wait to wear them tonight and hopefully have a better nights sleep! You are a...

shrink back down after birth? I don't mean back to being completely flat just back to a normal-ish size. I'm asking as i'm trying to decide what to wear xmas day, was thinking just a jumper dress but as my bump is so big atm and i will prob only be having baby around a week or so before xmas, do...

Over the past few weeks i've been having terribley sore hands. When i wake up in the nyt my fingers are all bent and i have to manually try and get them to straighten. It's been happening more and more during the day recently too so i mentioned it to the MW today and she said that i have...

was unsuccessful unfortunately as my cervix is still closed. She said that it is really soft now though and is shorter - it was 2cm long last week and it's now 1cm long, so that's positive. Next appt was booked, with consultant, for Thursday to discuss induction. As i am really keen to avoid...

Just wondering if i may have missed it? xxx

Lots of december mummies seem to be going into labour at the mo, it's all very exciting! Can't believe i have 7days until my due date, i'm getting nervous now! Have my second sweep tomoro morning, just hope it works so i can avoid the induction! Been getting period like pains and back ache...

Was just researching pineaplle for inducing labour and found out that it's a certain ingedient within it that's supposed to help get things moving - Bromelaine. There seems to be loads of shops online that sell them, even holland and barratt. Just wondering if anyone has any experience of them? xxx

Do u have to stay in hospital once they've started things off or can you go home to labour there for a bit? Can u still use a TENS machine? Are u constantly hooked up to a monitor or a drip or something? Any info would be appreciated girls! xxx

I know it sounds really petty, and there are so many other things i have to worry about at the mo', but my tummy used to be one of my best features and now it is covered in stretch marks :( It's really getting me down. I have been using bio oil twice a day from when i was ttc and i thought it...
