Thanks Kat!!

I asked the OB today & he seems to thing I'll be pushing 37 weeks, as bub is now engaged. Sure explains all the pressure I've been feeling LOL

[mountain mummy]

Hey Jo, with my 4th, his head was engaged for the longest time, I ended up being induced at 38 weeks, but I also had low platelets and haemoglobin counts that just kept dropping, so they didn't want to chance me haemhorraging during labour / after the birth.

I remember I had days where I could barely stand up cause I was so uncomfortable!

Hang in there hun

Hang in there Storm - the more babies I have the earlier I seem to engage but don't mean I come that early, my 7th was a 37 weeks at home in the water and the easiest birth and a very healthy baby.

Thanks ladies.

I'm trying not to stress about it all, I'll admit I am worried he'll come early, but I just can't see it.
Angel was engaged for what seemed like ages as well, & her birth was wonderful too, apart for the awful PPH that followed, the most painful part was when she crowned, so I'm hoping this one will be the same LOL not likely!!!

Storm firstly i have to say you look absolutely fantastic in your pic! I thought that yesterday and forgot to say it
Wow that is early to engage, I hope for your sake that you do go early as the pressure will only get worse now that bubs is engaged! I can't believe that yor bub is nearly due! for me it seems like only last month that you announced your PG! I guess i have been tied up in my own world!

Hi to everybody else its great to see that some of you have stayed in here! I hope to be popping my head in more often now!

Maz it was great to see you on here too! How is Mateauz doing???
Hi to everyone else I look forward to catching up with you all again!

Cheers
Kat

Jo - you emailed me..shait im off ot look at my spam box and everywere!!!!!!

have to agree - you looking mighty fine hot stuff as for going early...I was engaged with mateauz from 32 weeks and the little bugger stayed put until c/s day when labour started, yet again waiting for me to go into the theartre...yet Vy came at 37 weeks...hmm you watch your gonna go over now . I have to tell ya babe...your av looksl ike your got a penis! lol.

Kat - are you Pg again? Your av is pg....hmmmmmm

MM - I soooooooooooo want a nother baby .....but pyhsically my body just couldnt do it and after what happened with Mateauz Id probably end up in hospital for the last 6 weeks.

i also got my tubes removed with my c/s...must have known that id end up with another special guy . He's going great guns...had an u/s on his head at 7 months old and no sign's of brain damage at all BUT when he is sick he gets really weak on one side and when it is really hot he tends to over sleep. iM talking 16 hours through at night then up for an hour then back to sleep for 5 hours...its a bit scarey and something I have to watch. He's up and wlaking around...screams and omg the kid talks my butt of! I cant get over how advanced he is vocally at this age compared the other 3. Im goign to write a card to the nuro who saved his life soob, and send along a pic of him casue i know he will be floored at how far he's come, especially seeing he wasnt ment to be crawling until about 18 -months - 2 years let alone walk.

ah enough dribble from me......back to sewing

[storm]

Maz, that is fantastic he is going so well. You are one proud Mummy!!

I'd be there LMAO with you if this one is late too (well not really cos then I'd be pg for longer LOL) cos I am sick of everybody telling me I'll go early. HECK nothing is washed or sorted yet!! he he he
