yeah no change here, still the same as before, cramps every 7-12 minutes. I rang the labour ward just to be on the safe side (doing this for the first time
clueless!), and the midwife said to not worry at the moment. Ring again when the waters have gone, or the contractions are every 5 minutes and last for about a minute.
the waiting game continues, then

Pat McGee's husband/Isabellas proud daddy here - all set to come home tomorrow - can't wait to have them homeas it's a lonely house at night without them here (just me and the dogs) - I've taken to sleeping with her pillow and a used babygrow to get myself to sleep, laughing at that one myself
Hope you're all doing well!0 -
WOW Congrats Pat and Midleton
3 babies and we`re not into September yet!!!
2 weeks to go :eek::eek:
I`m having period like symptoms lately too but nothing regular, I`d say its braxton hicks.
Getting closer anyway and I had this very strange noise come from my belly y/day just under my boobs like squelching noise so it maybe the baby moving down or she`s moving my internal bits out of her way...weird.
Im off thurs so I`m making shed loads of meals for freezing, any suggestions for simple food through them at me!!0 -

Little Matthew was born on 30th of august at 5:26 am weighing at 7 lbs 12 oz. We're both doing great after successful vbac. Just a word of advice: take the pain medication if you can't cope and make it easier on yourself!
Huge congrats!!!!! Lovely name. Glad you are both doing so well 0 -
Grarf and iPearly - Congratulations!!!!
I hope all is going well with everyone and you are getting all the help you need. Are you all settling in to it ok?
Joasia1973 - the pressure is on!!!!! You are up next on the list and with all these early babies you must be getting excited. I'm down for the 10th then, but she shows no sign of turning so it looks like we are all go for the 4th. My husband arrives home on the 3rd in the afternoon so it will be all hands on deck to get the final things ready. The three of us are heading out to the cinema and Nando's that night - our last night as a three person family.
It's weird to have the date so planned.... I'm even getting my hair blow dried on Tuesday so it's easier to manage in the hospital (damn but curly hair tangles!).
And I got waxed yesterday so I don't have to have the dreaded 'dry shave' before the c-section.
Mind you, I'm sure my husband will quite like it And given that I spent his last trip home in hospital, and will be going back into hospital the day after he gets home this time - we have a little 'catching up' to do if you catch my drift
So I've updated the list below - but we are missing you Fri.day... Hopefully we will have some more additions soon.
Fingers crossed and legs akimbo!!

Oh my god more early arrivals!!!
Grarf and iPearly - Congratulations to ye both
Bannbhaaifric you`re so orgainised - it`ll be like xmas knowing who`s arriving the next day!!
Ive packed my hospital bag only on thurs afternoon cos im thinking ill be 10 days late, Ive 10 days to go now officially!!
I`ll be working a bit next week just a few hours but dreading it already cos ive quite a bit of discomfort in my lower back, im self employed so have to keep an eye on things right up to the last min so ill try and take 4/6 weeks off after..
I might post in the pregnancy thread but does anyone know if i could request no visitors when im in hospital?? If i have another c-section i`d really like to breastfeed/sleep/eat only for the entire time im in cos its gonna be hectic when i get home being a single mother to baby and my almost 14month old who`s not walking, ive seperated from hubby who isn`t great at practical help anyway -

Come on the September babies! Congrats ipearly !!
We came home on Friday, and Emma has just slotted into our lives.... She's as good, and the breastfeeding is going well also. I had to get stitches so am a little sore, probably also from the suction cup thing they used to get her out.
Its some ride! Worth every bit of pain though. 0 -
11 days to go, can't wait. Feeling awful, sick stomach and horrendous headache as well as cramps, feels like ms all over again
Lack of sleep is killing me.
Hope all you mammys to be are keeping well and hope all new mums and sept babies are great 0 -

Hi All,
We are all go for tomorrow now.... Hubby is arriving home this afternoon and I am spending the morning tidying up and getting the last few bits and pieces together. I still haven't packed my hospital bag! But I guess I can put away all the things I had prepared for my natural birth (bye bye birthing pool)
Fri.day - It's tough going home on your own and I'm sure if the hospital know, they'll do everything they can to help. When I was going home with my first they knew I was a single mum and kept me in an extra day just to make sure I was ok with feeding and healing well. And if it's any consolation, everyone I know with more than one child has said that the second is a breeze compared to the first! I know with my first I was terrified she would wake if I put her down so instead of sleeping when she did, I sat there like a stone until she woke up again!! This time I'll be out like a light at every opportunity Does your 14 month old still have a nap during the day? It might be a good time for all 3 of you to have a lovely family wooze in the afternoon I think you can get a caesarean belt as well which supports the scar in the first few weeks which might be useful if you are having to lift your LO.
lmullen - so glad your baby has turned again - they are bold aren't they! Mine just seems to be loving being upright and has no intention of turning. Mine just constantly has her head popping out and I then spend ages rubbing it so I think she just loves the feeling and wont go anywhere.
Getting a bit nervous about tomorrow now, and it has been bringing back lots of memories of our last little baby girl, so it has been a mixture of joy and sadness I suppose. I just can't wait to have this little girl in my arms.
So right! Gotta go pack my bloody bag!!
Hope all the new mums are happy and well, and the future ones are hanging in there.

Hello all!
Just a quick one to say our little girl arrived as planned on the morning of the 4th at 11.27 weighing 7lbs 1.5 ozs. All went great and we even got to do skin to skin and breastfeed in the OR! Amazing. And after pretty much everyone told us it wouldn't happen.
We are home now and settling in to our new lives. Breastfeeding is going well but I can't wait until my nipples toughen up! Oh lord the pain sometimes... But it will be worth it in the end.
Now all we need is a name......
Hope you are all doing well. Nearly there eh! 0 -
