morning all GTT test this morning so no brekkie for me.

what did other peoples GTT tests involve and why were you all waiting ages?

midwife is doing mine she said come in at 8.30 and she will do a blood test then i have to drink a sugary drink and go back for another appointment at 10.30 to see the effects of the drink.

I want mine now! 2 days overdue - been bouncing, eating curry, drinking RLT, walking the dog twice a day, jumping DH - what else can I try? So far have had sharp low twinges and a few achy period-pain cramps but they have been very mild and few and far between.

Aaaah that was me 2 days ago - i can barely walk but im going for a long walk today i have a feeling that im going to be induced

It's funny really - although I was quite prepared to go overdue as I know it's common, I didn't realise how frustrating it is - and I'm only 2 days over!!

I'm not too uncomfortable and can still waddle a couple of miles a day, but I just want baby now. I have nothing to do this week other than have a baby (plus a bit of ironing.....!)

I'm worrying about being induced already Really don't want that. It's an odd situation though, it's like I'm willing myself to be in excuriating pain - not something I've ever wished for before!!

Good luck Elmo!

Had an old lady in Asda put her hand on my stomach, say 'Cooking nicely!' and walk off! Weird....

My voice is well gone. Not good in a job that involves a lot of talking to people..... Sign language and gesturing seems to be getting the point across to most people. Have a horrendous headache, and really, really want to be curled up in bed.... Though the other side of the coin- I have so much movement today it's unreal- I'm bouncy!

Congrats PP, she's lovely, very happy for you!

Good luck to you too - if you find something that works let me know - how vile is RLT! urgh!

Have you been booked in for a sweep? I REALLY don't want it!! I'm contemplating going to my mums today and bouncing on my sisters trampoline lol:rotfl:I'm up for anything to get this started before Thursday sweep rolls along!

Mt friend is popping over to do some reflexology later on to try and get things moving but i don't think baby wants out! Shes still wriggling and one of her elbows seems to love the patch of skin that once resembled my belly button!!!:p:mad::p

I WANT THIS BABY OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT!

Exactly the same but I wasn't allowed to leave - good thing too as it made me feel very strange!

I love my RLT but have run out it then I do drink fruit teas sometimes anyway!

Well, I have my 40 week midwife appointment, and we discussed a possible sweep at my last one (for this one) so presume if I ask I will get.

My baby is very active at night-time - the wriggles send me twinges in my cervix and foof and I get excited thinking this may be it, but alas, not to be

Good luck on the trampoline - I have to make do with a ball - gets boring after a while - difficult to read on it too - the words just bounce around with me..........!!

I just want to meet my baby now. Seems the feeling isn't mutual, eh, little one.........

Same but I think you might have to stay between? As exercise can affect blood sugar.

Congrats PP she's gorgeous. Can't wait to hear the name. Sorry to all those going overdue - it's horrible I've done it twice! 12 and 13 days over. Hence the fight for a 39 week section!!!
