Welcome Hannah and Gillybean :wave:
Hope the midwife appointment goes well MrsManda and well done on doing the evil housework MissMoney

I've been in bed last couple of hours, trying to catch up on sleep but not very successful Going to have some lunch and then back to bed with a cup of tea, chocolate hobnob (sorry LMM! ) and a good book. Will also have my TENS machine on and hopes that helps with aches and pains. I'll only be using lowest setting though as if it helps a lot, I'll want to save the highest settings for labour!

Think I need to buy 10 packs then?!:rotfl:

Oh no as it does tail off after four days to a week and becomes brown. You could always send daddy out to buy supplies like I mentioned earlier. You will find though that if you have been more active the bleeding will increase slightly but then calm down again.

Thanks for adding me emsbet :beer:
Sweep was ok not as bad as I thought, she said babys head was very low but my cervix was quite closed. She said it felt like someone who hadn't had a baby before which is correct! not convinced this sweep is going to work...
Got appointment at hospital on Wednesday to see midwife there and they will book me in for induction the following week if she's still not arrived.
Getting bored of waiting already

Hello lovely pregnant ladies.
I miss all the chatting but Tristan keeps me far too busy.
I hope you are all well.
And alizee - I wouldn't tackle any room. I'd just sit and have a cuppa and cake!!

I guess after a while you can use normal jamrags then? I've got a few packs of maternity pads. I'll get the OH to memorise the name and what the packet look likes (probably take a picture with his phone!) so that he can pop out and buy me some more if need be.

Hello All

Long time on and off lurker on this thread, although been reading everyday for last couple of weeks.
Well I am same as Alizee and due yesterday, so very late in finally posting on this thread! Baby has showed no signs of arriving and is moving around so much this week that I am worried that she may have completely turned, although at last Friday's appointment her head was engaged.
I have a sweep booked today at 2:15pm which I have mixed feelings about! Hoping that it gets things moving but worried about pain and someone looking at my bits! never even had a smear before as I'm too young!
Anyway thats a little introduction from me, hope everyone is ok!

It's weird isn't it? A lot of the younger mums on OBEM look petrified when they're having internals. I guess it's just something that you get used to. At the ripe old age of nearly 40, having had treatment for abnormal smears and fertility investigations, the world and his wife have been up my fanny. You just get used to it in the end.

Welcome and good luck with your sweep

I agree with fluffnutter, you definitely get used to it. I'm not phased by internals now either and believe me there was a time I was petrified of the very thought of them.

I've just quickly cleaned the bathroom and floor and painted the brackets of a couple of shelves that will need to go back up tomorrow when the papering in finished in the nursery. Think I may have earned myself a chocolate digestive or two

I thought Id hate them but by the time I needed an internal i was in labour and really didnt give a monkeys. Towards the end i had a rather dishy doctor with oth hands up there trying to turn baby!

I hate internals but by the end i was begging for them just so i could know what was going on. I think by the time I had Tristans I'd had half the midwives up my vajayjay and I really couldn't have given a monkeys. Mind you, the gas and air did help!!!

when I was begging for the epidural one on the midwives calmly said that they are getting the anethetist (sp?) but that I would have to get out of my street clothes first. Within seconds I was standing in the middle of the room starkers.

Really didn't care who saw what at that point, not that I am shy anyway.
