    Ooh, it could be any day now then. My hubby has his two weeks off starting monday, it would be ideal to have the baby over the weekend. How are things with you Hilary?

    hi
    I had sweep on the wed one day after due date. Went into labour next morning and had LO by lunchtime. I think it worked but maybe was just lucky coincidence!

    It's five days later, lo is six days overdue and I'm still waiting.....Managed a couple of nights half decent sleep so I'm feeling a bit less run down. Having my husband home with me helps too. The sweep itself wasn't pleasant but wasn't as bad as anticipated. How are you Sarah?

    Hi Denise

    I'm fine, a bit tired & a bit of back ache but not too bad otherwise. How are things with you. Any sign of the bub yet?

    Hi Denise,

    Im fine thanks, got alot of shoulder pain (wierd) but thats it... only 16 days to go (well 8 if the sweep works!). Keep feeling its gonna happen sooner... wishful thinking. Getting nervous and excited. You must be pulling your hair out at the mo - personally Im not v good at waiting for stuff! Even babies!!!

    Are you feeling ok?

    Fingers crossed you little one will be out soon ( and mine too!). Getting fed up now - but it will b worth the wait!

    Hello Ladies,
    Had a good walk today, travelled home via lots of bumpy roads and humped back bridges, hubby made a curry when we got back, it's just a matter of time... Oh, and I've told my hubby to brace himself for some exercise later! Not that I can do much in my current, erm, position!
    Keep yourselves in good spirits. I'll be keeping everything crossed for you, well almost everything!!!!!
