I was due yesterday. This is my second baby. I'm roasting hot and pretty uncomfortable. I've had one sweep already which did nothing. I'm just hoping the baby will come soon!

Due on the 18th, no signs yet. I'm booked in for an elc that day if I don't go into labour by then. DC1 was induced at 42 weeks so I'm pretty sure I'll be having the section.
Good luck to everyone. Smile

Due on the 18th too, having lots of random twinges and pains but they never develop, so frustrating. Can't be doing with the heat and i've forgotten what my ankles look like!

Isitme have you tried bouncing on a ball or a long walk? Hope things get going for you.
Few more twinges but nothing to get excited about!

Actually feeling pretty good just really excited about meeting him! I've been walking a couple of miles a day and bouncing manically on the ball!

Had same problem again isitme...it seems contractions like to start overnight so I don't sleep but fine in day. Been like this for two weeks. I just want this LO out! :( heat is killing me today and my crazy DH suggested we go for a walk to encourage baby out. I responded with a 'are you nutty?' look.

Im still very crampy but this is manageable. If I would of had another 10 mins of pain last night I would of gone to hospital.

I've also got that - not sure if it's wishful thinking? Or just stronger than usual BH? It's getting me down because I can't sleep at night because of the pain, then during the day nothing happens!

Hi I'm due on the 27th but booked to have a section next Friday.

Had some cramps last night and went into a panic as have been in complete denial about the fact that I could go into labour before my section date.

Finding today really tough - don't want to be near anyone. Feel like a mother cat who just wants to be left alone in a cupboard until she gives birth. It's taking all my effort to stop snapping at DP and DD.

Six days to go . . . . ,

Just bought some groceries and got a few pots to wash.
