    Are we there yet?

    Please.... tell me I'm not going to go to almost 42wks again and this might go on for another month!!!!

    Lower backpain.
    Sharp stabbing pain in my cervix
    Aching pelvis
    Walking like a cowboy
    Irritability
    needing to pee constantly
    TMI loose bowels
    Aching upper thighs
    Period like pain
    Strong and long BH between 2 and 5 mins apart nightly but definitely not the real deal.... just annoying!

    Please tell me I am close. These pains didn't kick in until about 39+5 wiith DS. I've been sore for weeks!

    ok whinge over.

    Anything is possible I went to 42 weeks with dd1 (failed vbac attempt cos I just didn't go into labour and she was starting to suffer) however - I then had my vba2c when I went into spontaneous labour at 12 days over and then my vba2c2 at 11 days over.

    So you might not go as far over I had 3 weeks of prelabour with dd3 though LOL

    Sorry!! I can't lie if I don't know the answer

    Hopefully it will be your baby's birthday sooner rather than later. Is that better? LOL

    Best of luck with your vbac

    Not much has changed... except I'm getting really overly emotional. Especially after hospital appointments. I'm really not a fan of the OBs and the way they're treating me like I'm broken or something because things went so horribly wrong last time. Don't worry though, I make sure every time to point out that the cause of my distress and need to be in ICU and sedated was due to the mistakes made by my medical team.... not through any defect I might have.

    Needless to say they don't enjoy that lol.

    So naturally I'm feeling a bit edgy but just trying to keep my eyes on the prize. I've gone from nesting to resting so that's a good thing. My BH are coming about 4 minutes apart tonight and aren't really going away so I have hope the full moon and the crazy weather outside might have stirred something up! I also ate half a pineapple and bounced on my gym ball like a mofo today

    fingers crossed! Every day I wake up pregnant I'm slightly relieved, and slightly disappointed. I think my v-jay-jay is relieved anyway lol.

    BH's are good - excellent practice!

    Are you eating a lot of dates? My old midwife has a theory that eating a handful of dates a day can help you from going overdue. I dunno how but once I reach 30 weeks I'm going to give it a go. Anything is worth it huh.

    Are you drinking RLT or taking tablets? Or inserting EPO? Those were my other standard routine things LOL

    I'm still very pg. Spent a restless night trying to sleep through back pain and cramps. Trying to remind myself that my body is doing some very good work and its not for nothing. Man I'm sore though. And cranky and emotional. I wish there was someone here who could help me with DS so I can rest. I wanted to tell DP not to go to work today but felt guilty.

    Waaahhhhhh!!!! Get out of me, fat baby!

    Oh matie, that blows . Can your sister take DS for you, so you can relax?

    In the meantime, I'm loving your latest belly photo - far out that's a big bump! You really do look beautiful!
