    Ali B- Oh maybe you will be another delivery on my due date
    I think just be positive that now the end is in sight and who knows it may all happen on its own.

    Mine is just messing with me, I have dropped again and get the lightning everyday but everynow and then I get a movement frenzy so I take it that means its not fully engaged. The period pain had stopped in the last 48hours, but I am getting 4/5 lots of bh an hour and then nothing and then its starts again.......as I said messing with me

    Would love to believe all this pre-labour was for something, but if not they will only let me go 10days over so March 10th will be d-day if not sooner and only today and tomorrow still at work, then im done. Thinking I did everything backwards this time with dd I stopped 2 weeks before and went insane with boredom....this time I am so utterly exhausted from chasing a toddler around, that I now feel run down and have a sore throat and could have used this week to sleep while she was at daycare Well hopefully I might get that next week if still no baby....these mums who think they can do everything

    Oh Ali i reallyhope bubs just decides enough is enough its time to meet Mummy- i dont like the sound of the DR being so rushed with u like that, i dont like Dr's who do that- who knows what he even did down there IUKWIM

    Lets hope just knowing that you have a date will make your body go into action so u can have bubs naturally..have u had any pre labour signs ?

    Lis i hear u- i have so much pre labour its getting annoying - they say its good for your body blah blah but iv had enough

    so much period pain it gets so strong the other night i could not sleep coz if it, BHS coming at regular intervals then stops..need to go for number 2's all the time
    and i feel so so sick i want to be sick all the time .i do not have an appetite and dont want to eat anything much at all.
    I have been moving around bouncing on the fit ball,hot baths ,trying to get labour to kick in but nothing .

    I know labour will hurt and i am prepared for that, i just dont like all the pre labour lol,its uncomfortable and annoying

    Alib- that sucks about your Dr rushing you like that, i know we're like one of dozens of patients but they should still take the time. Having said that though, if i was the lady in labour i would want him to rush for me too. LOL

    Shell1- i know what you mean. At least in labour the pain is doing something and will have and end, Prelabour is just frustrating because you don't know if its doing anything worthwhile or just niggling stretchy pains.

    Oh and i totally agree that this thread has become an extra belly buddies thread!

    sorry to crash the party but shell you sound like I felt a few days before I had DD2. Felt sooooo sick for about five days then felt better all of a sudden and had her a day later! Hopefully it means the same thing for you too!

    Good luck Ali! I really hope that being given a date gets things going for you

    good luck to everyone else too. So exciting that you will be meeting your bubbas soon! x

    Jelly - I too know about that ouchy wa was cervix crash! Get it a couple of times a day - and I find I have to move, which moves bubs!

    Ali - Now you have the same induction date as me (Lis' due date!). If it is any help to you my OB let's people go ten days over.

    Lis - So glad you only have a couple of work days left - you must be truly exhausted...don't know how you are still doing it!! One advantage of going past your due date next week, will definitely be the rest you can catch up on - even if it is for a couple of days...sounds like you need it!

    Shel - I seem to have a really bad night (like you described) and then a good night...Last night I slept well and bubs was co-operative whereas the night before was atrocious. My whole body throbbed and she grinded about all over the place!!! I also feel like I am going to be sick all the time (morning sickness revisited). Oh the last few weeks are delightful!

    Well no more contractions for me! I have had a lot of downward pressure today and it looks like my bump has dropped more - period pain and cramping this morning. But doesn't feel like any action in the near future. I bet I go into hospital on Sunday night for the gel.

    A bit worried about the whole gel thing and feel a bit sad about leaving toddler!!

    Thanks for keeping in touch girls!!!

    Hi girls - thanks for your support re my rushed appointment!

    The S&S or whatever it was has not had the desired effect - 24 hours after, just some brown blood and general low down aches. Poo!

    Mum2W so maybe we will go on Monday together with Lis, I hope for all our sakes it happens for all of us before hand!

    Labour vibes to all

    Ladies,

    I can't believe that all of these babies are still keeping us waiting. Mother nature is on a tight deadline with me now - in 18 hours I will be in hospital waiting to be induced. Despite this being my second pregnancy I am finding this prospect completely terrifying. DD was only 4 days late and before the contractions started I hadn't had any niggles at all. I was lucky to have a quick, fairly painless labour and a straight forward (but exhausting) delivery, all over in 5 and 1/2 hours start to finish. Of course this time I've had 18 days of pre-labour and a potential induction. Has my body forgotten what to do?

    Anyway, good luck to you all. I hope that you manage to beat your deadlines...

    Hi everyone well im still here I posted yesterday about possible leakage of course after I posted absolutely nothing. NO more leakage of any kind, no pain, no nothing, so I still dont know

    Now however I am awake with quite painful bh, again its this stitch feeling with the hardening but its definotely coming in waves 3 in the last half hour.. again not getting hopes up as have already had 2 major bowel movement (tmi)....but the bub has also gone significantly quiet, not my usual wake up mum stretch under the ribs...so maybe I wasnt imagining it yesterday

    Ok plan of action I am going to assume that it could be and take some panadol, if its prelabour rubbish that should kill it....having another one now....yikes is it normal to just get the pain down oneside? maybe thats where bub is laying?? And i'll start counting, dd is still in bed thank goodness.

    Keep you posted ...."feel like the pregnant lady that cried baby!!"

    Ali - It is definitely a possibility that you, I and Lis all end up in hossy on Monday!!!

    Flygirl - Good luck and best wishes - thinking of you!!! I am finding this time terrifying too...but you know you will come out the other side (so the speak) and you will be saying it was worth it!

    Lis - This could be it!!! Here's hoping for you - I don't think I had contractions down 1 side but everyone is different. Can't believe DD is still asleep at 7am! My DS woke at 6am this am and that was a big sleep in...

    ATM - Well, we have been sleep deprived here because DS has had massive temp the last couple of days - so DH and I have been taking shifts at night to get some sleep! What timing!!!! Can't believe it. Willing and begging bubs to get moving...but nothing!!
