Happy due date to me!!

[k8bailey]

But unfortunately no baby.....yet!!

[annie0000]

If she is anything like I was - she will already look as if she has stolen the spacehopper and hidden it up her jumper - all that was lacking was the handle!

[Psychick]

How easy it would be if it did have the handle though lol Just give it a tug and put comes baby!

[annie0000]

Yeah, but it would be a b*gger getting a hat to fit!

[Psychick]

What about a tea cosy?

How are you doing k8bailey?

[k8bailey]

still here, and no signs of it being any time soon! :-(

Im gettin really fed up with my familly calling me every couple of hours to check if I've had it yet, I feel like noone trusts me!!!

the tea cosy is prob agood idea, but do u think they can deflate it before i have to give birth to the spacehopper baby?!!

[Psychick]

lol unplug the phone!

[k8bailey]

hmmm... I have caller ID so i'm only answering to telesales ppl now, but only coz I have nothing better to do, and i get to say "Im 9months pregnant, so switching my broadband is the least of worries!!" they always get so flustered and appologetic! lol

K8, it's fantastic isn't it? LOL. Also, when baby arrived it coincided with local elections and the door was constantly being knocked with local councillors canvassing so I would take baby to the door and say "Look, she's five days old... I'm sure you understand" :-D

I know how you feel about being bothered by people, I had one friend that was ringing me as early as 7am for news updates. And the day after I gave birth she text me at 6:50am to see if she could ring the phone at my hospital bed!!!! I could have throttled the woman. I barely hear from her now all the excitement is gone, which is exactly what I knew would happen. Also, my nan, who has Altzheimers, would ring 6-7 times a day to find out if I had had baby - I, too, screened all my calls in the end.

So still no twinges then? Have you been for a long walk?

[beverleymot]

aww bless ya K8 u getting annoyed now?! hang in there !!! thinking of you xx

[k8bailey]

Ok I have walked MILES today - my poor little feet!! :-(
So fingers crossed!!

[beverleymot]

c'mon k8 - more walking, sex, curries, pineapples, raspberry leaf tea etc etc!!!!

[natalie_1982]

Any news k8? Hope your feets are recovering if not! X

[Psychick]

natalie her feet will get time to recover when shes flat on her back pushing lol

[k8bailey]

if only i were flat on my back!!! but i suppose i should be careful what i wish for....

[Psychick]

Yes, look where being flat on your back has got you already! lol

How are you feeling, apart from fed up!

[k8bailey]

i actually feel surprisingly well and energetic-ish but the heat is making me swell up a bit!! oh well at least I don't have to suffer through the whole summer!

[Psychick]

Dont get too excited but I went into over drive and gutted the house, baby was born that night! lol

[Psychick]

Well I know you seem to pop on later in the day but I cant resist asking...... any news?lol

[k8bailey]

Hi, Im late on here today coz Ive been at the hospital all morning, just for a check up and they gave me stretch and sweep too, possibly one of the most unpleasant experiences of my life to date!

I've been having regular, mildly painful contractions ever since, so I really hope that this is it!! I was 'one finger tip' dilated whatever that means and baby is 1/5 engaged, i'm hoping that this is all a good sign and that I don't end up having the induction they've booked for me on sunday!

[k8bailey]

any one else has a stretch and sweep and how long did u have to wait until the baby was born?
