How’s everyone doing? After a pretty non-emotional 9 months I’ve spent the entire day today on the verge of tears for literally no reason other than I just feel miserable. Hoping it’s because of a surge of hormones that will kickstart Labour

Today was due date for my third. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. I hate the waiting 
I’ve been feeling so nauseous the past couple of days, today has been awful I’ve been living on crackers and Pringles
I’ll be 7 weeks tomorrow I hope the nausea doesn’t last long!!
I’ll be 7 weeks tomorrow I hope the nausea doesn’t last long!!I’m 8 weeks today and have had awful nausea and fatigue since week 5. I also have a 2 year old and I feel so guilty that I can’t do all the things I usually do with him whilst feeling this unwell. I’m praying this passes soon as it’s on another level to the sickness I had with my first! Women really are superheroes
Honestly!! I wake up and I’m like how is what I’m dreaming not real!!I’ve been drinking the last push! Ordered it on Amazon.
My dreams have been so vivid and insane on and off since I got pregnant
I’ve removed all caffeine since finding out I was pregnant nearly 2 months ago. Today I went and treated myself to a Costa cappuccino and I’m currently wired and feel light-headed. I feel really stupid that I’ve done this and should have chosen decaf, but thought that one cup would have been in my limit and since I haven’t had any, it would be ok. Googled it and a medium cappuccino is well over the 200mg allowance.
Hope I haven’t done anything bad and I’m just a bit intolerant

As a one off I’m sure it won’t hurt, and it’s just a reaction after no caffeine for so long! My midwife made it clear I didn’t need to cut it out, just cut it back, so I’m sure the occasional one will be fine! FYI - I saw an article showing Costa cappuccino had 5x more caffeine than Starbucks, so different chains vary but I try and stick to Starbucks now as even 2 would be well under the 200mg limit xxI’ve removed all caffeine since finding out I was pregnant nearly 2 months ago.

A Costa cappuccino only has around 65mg of caffeine, so I doubt it'd be over 200mg.I’ve removed all caffeine since finding out I was pregnant nearly 2 months ago.

And it isn't a don't go over that ever, it's not to have it every day.
Even a can of energy drink is under 100mg so I doubt a cappuccino is over 200

I’ve just read that article on my Google search, silly me. Thanks for the reassuring words but can’t help but worry because I’m all panicky!
Honestly please don’t panic! I have one, sometimes two, iced coffees a day (which should still put me at less than 150mg because I usually make them at home with only one espresso shot but still), and I reckon having one strong coffee in two months is probably far better than that!

Quoting myself to add a quick sorry because telling someone who’s panicking not to panic is the least helpful thing ever haha
Don’t worry! As others have said, even if you have gone over the daily amount (which is unlikely) a one off won’t hurt.I’ve removed all caffeine since finding out I was pregnant nearly 2 months ago.

I didn’t realise until I was pregnant but they often put 2-3 shots in a coffee depending on the size you get so you could always ask for just one shot if you still wanted some caffeine!
We have cover at the moment for our mortgage and critical illness and such, but now we have children I want the type to have an amount for them if anything happens but I also don't want to talk to a person for this but all seems to be a call back.
Due date today. Feeling really fed up can’t help but thinking I’d have been home by now if my section had gone ahead as planned the other day! Have a had a few twinges today and thought maybe my mucus plug was coming away. Either way he’ll be here by Monday, trying no to dwell on it!
Can you just increase the cover with your current provider?
Has anyone here has latent labour. Started contractions 5am Friday morning. Thought we were getting somewhere at 1am yesterday as they were 5 mins apart last over a minute for over an hour. Midwife said try to stay at home till they’re 2-3 mins apart. I found them really painful but managed. They they went to every 10-12 minutes and now stoped.
I got checked over this morning as I hadn’t felt him and I’m not even dilated. Makes me so worried for how I’ll manage pain when it happens.
Any advice on how long this latent phase can go on for? 1st baby and just so tired of it

Im actually not going to be very useful in terms of advice regarding spontaneous labour as I’ve been induced both times but you can use paracetamol and if you have one a tens machine to take the edge off the pain. Tens machine really saved me during my labour.
All the best to you, hope it picks up soon x
I didn’t so no advice from me, but my friend’s early labour started on the Tuesday evening, early Saturday morning she went in and baby arrived Saturday afternoon. She said she survived on painkillers, warm baths and her tens machine (not at the same time!) and the baths especially were really helpful. once you’re in active labour there are more pain relief options available for you to consider. I have a really low pain threshold and found pethidine really helped, unfortunately didn’t get time for an epidural so can’t comment on those, but honestly you will manage and you’ll be so proud of yourself!Has anyone here has latent labour.

I was in latent labour from the Thursday night to Sunday. Some of my waters went on the Saturday then I went in on the Sunday. I only had contractions at night and got to 4cm by Sunday lunchtime! Then they broke the rest of my waters and my body sped up honestly I was happy I got to 4cm with my night contractions- they were stunned I could walk and talk in the hospital at 4cm as someone women apparently can’t string a sentence together 
they told me I could take cocodamol or separate codeine and paracetamol if I wanted for the pain. I think my contractions were regular one night but other than that they were random- they said not to worry and if it was working for my body that’s what matters. Good luck!The jitters are setting in! I’ve felt sick all day. I’ve to be in very early so hoping it’ll be straight in so I don’t have lots of waiting around and psyching myself out
