Congratulations Teajunky Enjoy your newborn snuggles.
Hello all
My baby girl was born at 1:19, 1st December weighing in at 7.5lbs, by c-section.
She is perfect
Oooh how exciting for everyone.
I hope you all are cuddling your little ones right now :D
I have a while to go as 21+5 but makes me pretty glad haven't quite got to the discomfort level you lovely ladies have reached yet. It's just the start of the awkward kicks and frequent bathroom trips
Get some rest, plenty to eat and pack snacks. Oh good luck lovely 
you will meet your baby very very soon. X
If you pack snacks for your other half, don't put onion or tuna in for him, you do not want that being breathed out near you. for you, 
for baby tea.
Nothing yet 
Going in at 8 to be induced 
What can I doooooo help!
<joins Festivefanny waiting for news - anyone else want one?>
Oh Tea that is wonderful good luck.
Oooh some exciting news ladies...
DH, dd and I were having a lovely, cosy evening, DH on laptop downloading films to watch later, dd drawing tinkerbells with her new crayola, and me pottering in the kitchen making a lamb chop dinner..when there was a sudden trickle and then a big GUSH and my waters broke!
It wouldn't stop and I yelled to DH that my waters have broken, who came running with dd (who wanted to know which glass mummy had broken and where was the water spilt 
) ....
Anyway! I've been in to hospital and am only 2cm so came home to 'mobilise' 
don't know what that involves exactly but ive cleaned my kitchen and put the dryer on while waiting for thR contractions to kick in!
Going to sleep now...will keep you ladies posted xxx
Oh and bex, sorry to hear bout thrush and your discomfort 
..have you tried plain live yoghurt down there ? It does really help.
Hiya bex, welcome welcome!
It's the pain and the twinges that make you think it's happening - so frustrating isn't it! And wow you're with me on 12th, how lovely
Im having pains this morning...but I won't hold my breath. They go after an hour.,first time I actually want pain to hang around/worsen!
Festive, oh he has no issue with helping to get it out the way he put it in
Hello all, can I join??
Today is my due date and...nothing!!
Have been having a few twinges until now but my midwife said I'm still not engaged and nothing will happen until I am!
It's odd as I have having bad back pain and feel it couldbe my time...baby will come when it's ready I suppose.
tea I have also been given the 12th as my induction...how the hell I'll wait till then I don't know!!!!!
I have really bad thrush at the moment so along with the normal pregnancy pains i am just so uncomfortable now
