Hi Caterina
Sounds like birth is iminent! I had that pressure sensation but with me it was on theday he was born - so willbe watching this space.
had another thought re: birth positions. I had a water birth with my second, which is great as the water takes the weight off you which I imagine would be good with spd and also I was verticalwhen he was born. i leaned over the side holding onto my parner - had bruised arms though. I didn't spread my legs at all. Also my pal with spd had two water births. Soemthing t consider....All the best! Sure all will be well.
isn't your lo a big girl! All thebest with that!
Love
Monica

Oh bloody hell I hope not..hubby is working out the country til the weekend (yep even with a 39 wk preggers wife!!!) so I have had firm words with baby to stay in there!! LOL ;D thanks for reply monica, I figured it's probably completely fine but it's always good to hear other people's experiences too! I'll just try and keep my legs crossed until OH makes it home! I quite fancied a water birth this time actually, alas there's only 1 pool at the maternity unit and they only let you in if there's been no complications and you must start labour naturally, not be induced. I had some bleeding at 6/7 weeks but surely that's not counted now?? I got a shot last time and it was fab but unfortunately my temp shot up and they ordered me out! Will definitely badger them for another shot this time. Quite at home floating about in the bath so the pool is just lovely for me! xx

good luck with that Catrina. My first was a water birth and as odd as it sounds I actually rather enjoyed it, well as child birth goes that is. My second was in too much of a hurry.
Also with regards to the head being engaged, Jason was at 28 weeks but was still 10 days over due.

Hi Caterina,
Just wondering how things are going? Goodness me if you have not had little one yet, you surely must be any day now!! How are the swollen feet?
Sending you huge amounts of hugs and love for a safe delivery.

Hi girls Nope, still no baby My due date was Friday but this baby has decided it's never going to come!! Although looking at my feet you would think the baby has sunk straight into them! This heat is not good!! Still in ok form, my patience is wearing a bit thin though. MIL is staying at the mo until baby arrives to help out and she is fabulous! The house is so tidy...how do mum's do it?? She is NEVER getting to leave! I'll keep y0u posted if I pop soon!! xx

Hi
the heat must be dreadful for you! Poor you. Glad you mil is helping out - send her over tomine once you're done - my place is a bombsite.
What's next step if baby doesn't show? Ar eyou going to have a sweep?
Take care
Monica

Hey WG & Monica Definitely uncrossed!! LOL ;D I'm sipping on some raspberry leaf tea as I type hoping for a miracle! I've been walking round town today, as much as the SPD allows and still nothing! I'm even tempted to try sex..but that'd be a last ditch attempt!! Poor hubby! Have a midwife app tomorrow and she did mutter something about a sweep but I'm not keen! It didn't work last time and was uncomfy!! Plus I have to take LO with me and I can't see her behaving long enough for that!!! If I don't go by middle of next week then it's off to hospital & induction for me! You can't have my MIL!! She's staying here FOREVER!!! LOL! ;D xxx
