Thought this was a good idea at the time, suppose Is till think it is, but really really nervous......according to AF dates, I am 40+2 today, so it might well work :eek: :eek: :eek:

Sweep is ok and not worrth getting stressed over, honest.

Just wanted to lurk out now as I've only just got to bed from having to deal with endless calls, including updating the inlaws with all the news from the police that visited today.

Thank you all so very much for your messages of support.

PLEASE though dont not post you must I had no intention of taking over the board, I just needed to do it before I couldn't.

Thank you all, I will be back to rant. scream or just cry when I need to.

Hugs, honey. You haven't taken over and we want to hear how you are doing. Hope the inlaws are being helpful and not too demanding.

emsy when you said "boys bits have gone" I thought you had had your cat castrated or something:rotfl:

sammy how is your new job?

Right, never mind all this trivial stuff about what to call our babies, much deeper and more life-changingly important is what do we call our puppy dog?

Chocolate lab !!!!!, in the running so far...Raisin, Clue, Lily, Truffle??????

MV, I've had sciatica off and on since quite early on in the pregnancy It seems to have flared up lately and I sometimes have trouble putting much weight on my right leg without being in agony and/or feeling like my knee is going to give way. This is making getting out of my car quite difficult at the moment. I'm hoping it doesn't get much worse, else I'm going to be stranded at home til Flump arrives (which I'm not expecting any time soon - I'm so going to be ending up in bold come Thursday )

Ladylegs, Flump was over to my right side at my last MW appointment and she said they tend to move over towards the back from there when in labour so there is a chance of him/her moving to a posterior position when the time comes to squeeze them out. She suggested I should kneel on the floor and lean forwards over a gym/birth ball to help get him/her around to the front.

Is a sweep something the MW is likely to spring on me at the next appointment, or do they give you some notice? My next appointment is this Friday when I'll be 2 days over, but she didn't mention anything about sweeps at the last appointment.

hello!

Lady legs have you tried getting on all 4s to swing baby round? "Apparently" it can shift bubs from back to back.

Hi TP. Yep - last night I was determined to do bear-walking and lean forward over my ball - OH came home from work and found me hanging over it, using it like a pillow with tears rolling down the ball:o My knees were burning with pain from my weight and squished boobs against the ball. I was a mess and felt guilty for thinking the baby simply hates me coz it won't get into position.

MOTM, I too have my scan on the 5th and I am also feeling a bit apprehensive. Don't know why. I am sure we will all be fine and can compare notes.
Glad to have you back!!!

Princess, I'm hoping the hospital doesn't have a policy of not telling you as the Aberdeen one does but I am going to Stonehaven. Fingers crossed for finding out the colour!!!!

They told me with my 1st so I'm sure they will with this one, I'm definately finding out I can't stand suspense:o I'm convinced it's a boy but a girl would be easier as I have a 2 year old girl and ALOT of girly pink stuff, my DD doesn't like boys :eek: + my BF is 10 weeks ahead of me with a girl. But other than a girl being convenient I don't really have a preference. My scan is at 14:30 when's yours?

Welcome to the newbies and good luck to those with scans. Princess Coupon, Coops and MOTM - I am very jealous, you lot have got scans before me!!! Are we all finding out the sex?

Right, I've got a dog to walk so catch you all later xxx

What date is your scan?

ManOnTheMoon wrote: »

Oooh, my good lady's scan may not be before you as ours is not 12th, that's Princess Coupon's We have to wait another week until the 12th

Yes, we are going to find out the genders



Think conversaton with Princess Coupon got lost in translation (or I have mistranslated, which is always possible ) as my good lady's scan is the 12th and Princess Coupon is 5th. Hopefully it will be fireworks for you and well as PC

I'm not sure if your apprehension is the same as mine as you are carrying and i'm not, although the way i've been feeling the last few days.....:o My apprehension is more to do with boys, boy and girl...or girls :eek: If it is to be 2 more girls, i'll be too embarrased to return

Will look forward to see how you get on next week

If they are both girls your swimmers are worth their weight in gold to rich women who have 5 boys and are desperate for a girl a record of 9/9 would be impressive.

*BigBird*

GFH, I'm so jealous! I sooooo want a choccy Lab!! Mine will be a boy called Charlie. I've got it all planned already - I will get him one day Can we see some pics?

Get on your hands and knees and arch you're back so you're walking like an orang-u-tan shouldn't be difficult for you:p its supposed to help enourage bubs to 'drop' intot the right position:) even if you do look like a pleb doing it:rotfl::rotfl:

I'll swap the IFS for knicker checking...not sure if I'm leaking wee, water or bog standard discharge:o:o

I had 3 none of which worked, for one of them the MW had long nails:eek::eek: and was a tad uncomfortable. When i saw them I thought to refused but i was so keen to get the baby out I kept quiet and secretly hoped she would be more effective:o:eek:

I took Black Cohosh to induce labour (bought from boots) took 15 drops every 30minutes for 12hours then a slug of caster oil.

In labour within 4 hours and gave birth 3 hours later

PLEASE DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH ONLINE TO SEE IF THIS IS AN OPTION YOU WISH TO TAKE.

I honestly find it too painful on the floor but the bed is better - but I can't be in that position for longer than 5 minutes.
Is a sweep something the MW is likely to spring on me at the next appointment, or do they give you some notice? I didn't have my normal midwife but this new one said to book in at 41 weeks and once I've been swept they would likely keep me in! So seems different everywhere you look.
My next appointment is this Friday when I'll be 2 days over, but she didn't mention anything about sweeps at the last appointment.

I bet you'll get invited for a sweep next week too

Sex,curry and pineapple. Not necessarily at the same time!

Or, arrange an important and private dinner date - you know the sort, non-refundable tickets and babysitters etc. That is a guaranteed winner!
