How is everyone today? Any signs of impending birth. I think I'm gonna be a while yet. Baby is just too active for my liking. I've a scan tomorrow though so we'll see what they say. My hips and back are giving me terrible gip today. I can hardly walk, hubby laughed at me, says I am the walking definition of the pregnancy waddle....cheek lol.

Nope, nothing here
Just been to see the midwife, baby is as engaged as she thinks he'll get prior to labour and in a good position. He's still quite active though so I'm not convinced that it'll be soon! I'm struggling to walk, even with my crutches it's stupidly painful. It's taken me a hour and a half to get home from my midwife appt so far, two loo breaks, lots of hobbling and a lunch break later haha xxx

Nothing here either!! At midwife at 3.15 so hopefully I'll found out if baby has started to engage. Fingers crossed.

Ach sure even the head being engaged can mean nothing. My wee fella was engaged from 24weeks. They did everything to get him out of that position but he seemed happy there. Mind you he did come 4 weeks early. I just got stuck on the ground. Wee fella was sick I got down to clean it up, had to crawl to the banister to pull myself up again....its not a fun day lol

I've joined the cold club too.... But I don't want baby to make an entrance yet. Still got 7 weeks to go so would be good to wait anther 5 weeks at least really.
Hope everyone feels better soon x

Finally Pregnant!!
Oh girls that are almost ready to pop... The MW last night told us its the hormone OXYTOCIN that helps with the speed of dilation... This is produced by us.. I'm just about to research if there's anything we can do/eat/drink to produce more of this/make it work better... Just thought i'd share this little nugget in case yee wanted to check it too...
There may be nothing.. But hey.. Its worth a shot... Its when contractions start.. So not something the will speed labour...
She also said raspberry leaf tea used to be widely pushed to bring on labour.. But its not been proven and its not been researched thoroughly... So drink it if you feel like it.. But don't overdo it.. Like anything I guess

I heard that the raspberry tea doesn't bring on labour but it can help soften your cervix. But I dunno. I haven't got any and not sure whether to get any.

I was drinking it while TTC as it was meant to do something then too... (Isn't it funny how quickly you forget what diff things are meant to do once you get that BFP)
So have some in the press.. Will probably have a couple when I'm allowed again but coz I like it.. N not in massive doses

Oxytocin is the love hormone, which is why they say sex may bring on labour, nipple stimulation, arousal etc etc

Yes that's what we were told. You increase the dosage week by week near the end.
