It's D-day and nothing happening still. Sigh. I see a midwife at the hospital tomorrow, and possible sweep. I'd like them to check baby's position though as I've had some big movements from her and it doesn't feel like she's head down anymore I hope I'm wrong.

Hope everyone else is OK xxx

I felt the same euro, had a few huge movements last week like he was almost lay on his side, the pain in both sides of my ribs was horrendous, I was convinced he had changed position when he was actually fully engaged so don't worry, hopefully you will be the same.

40+4 today and the pain in my groin area and hips is getting unbearable not sure how much longer I can go now. I go on a pregnancy app that has a forum and all the June mummies are giving birth, I'm feeling left behind he needs to hurry up

Skint.. just a few days left .. they induce at 11/12 days here which seems to be about the norm.. I shouldnt say I'm a naughty queue jumper then? A few more days and you won't even remember this pain and discomfort..

Thanks skint. I'm hoping she's still head down, but I've had a few moments where I've been able to feel a big lump either side of my belly, like she's laying sideways. I don't know though. Now I feel a lump on one side and either feets or hands on the other lol. One thing's for sure, she doesn't like to keep still!

Jesus Christ I had no idea how well oven pride works! Oven is now cleaner than it was when we moved in!!!

Euro - :rotfl: I joked to OH this weekend that he needed to buy some for when I start nesting. The only times I've ever properly cleaned my oven is when I've had massive deadlines on my PGCE/Masters and wanted a distraction :rotfl:. Hope all goes well with MW today.

skint - I'm on a July birth forum, I'm due 26th July, and there have already been so many births from that! I'm worrying I'll go mid-August now just to be awkward. Hope baby hurries up for you.

ThinkPink - I was officially weighed at 12 week scan, at the GTT test (28wks) , and at 34 week MW appt. I was also weighed at 32 weeks when I went to birth centre for visit and meet with the senior MW but that was for my curiousity rather than officially!

I had a very busy weekend, definitely overdid it at times. On Sat I did 3 loads of washing, the food shop with OH and then met friends for lunch in town. It was meant to be a quick lunch but 4 hours of lunch and wandering round shops massively took it out of me I was in agony when I got home and spent rest of day on sofa. Yesterday we went to the cinema in morning for Kids Club, then we went out for food with the extended family for my mum's 60th and father's day. It was a lovely occasion but it was so hot in the restaurant, both me and SIL (who is 3mths pregnant) had to keep popping out for air! It was lovely to see everyone, especially my little nephew. When we got home I had a 2 hour nap!

8 working days left in work now, wishing them away!

Flutterby, I hear you on overdoing it!

I had a gorgeous pregnancy massage this morning - I'm so relaxed after. I've started to drink my raspberry leaf tea in the hope that it helps a little.. My feet are very swollen but my blood pressure is totally normal so think my legs are just getting the crap side of pregnancy.

Finished washing the baby stuff as well - need to start packing my hospital bag at some stage!

Good luck today Euro!

DH and I have been in Dublin for the weekend, flying back later today... As much as I love being away, I'm glad to be going home and having tomorrow off work too. I'm flipping exhausted! Ooh a pregnancy massage sounds nice, I'm convinced tense shoulders is the cause of most of my headaches so definitely need to try and get booked in

euronorris

Well, all good. They did a quick scan to check and baby is def still head down. Yay! 3/5 engaged now. Yay! They tried a sweep but cervix still high and only ever so slightly open, so she could only just get tip of finger in. Boo! Still, mucus plug seems to now be coming away, so hopefully that was enough to get things moving a little. Who knows! Lol

Brilliant news euro, my friends cervix was high and they couldn't give her a sweep due to that but later that night her waters broke and she had the baby the following day! At least some of the plug is coming away, mine started to come away on and off for the past week or so but just little bits.

Last night was a bad one, I was up nearly all night in agony with my stomach but it was more a continuous period pain with back ache, finally fell to sleep at about half 4. Hubby is working nights this week which I am dreading, feel so much better when he is at home.

Pig- They wanted to book me in for 27th as that's when they do it here (12 days) but as they are fully booked it is now the 28th at 6pm!!!! I'm hoping he will be here by then so I don't need to have it... plus 6pm??? I'll be freaking out all day.

It's my birthday on Friday, wondering if he wants to share it with me hehe.

I've just ate a full pineapple.... desperate times!!!

Is pineapple supposed to bring it on? I knew spicy food, hot curry and all that but pineapple is a new one. You been googling them all?
