(63 Posts)I'm 39+6 with DS2 and ready for this pregnancy to be over
Anyone in the same boat?
Me! 39+1 today and feeling really tired, squashed and grumpy. Keep getting cramps at nighttime and thinking this is it.... but nothing so far!
And me! 40+3 with DD2 and SO ready. Had a few cramps on and off but nothing more than that. Already booked in for induction on 24th. It can't come to that. Can it??! DD1 was born at 39+4 so I was convinced this one would be here by now.
Keep me updated! DS1 was born at exactly 39 weeks so I'm hoping this one will be out soon. Happy due date to me!!! But no sign of baby Just feeling as tired and massive as ever, yay.
@Feedos my sister went into natural labour a day before her induction was booked - there is hope!
Baby is still in here today! I had my daughter at 39+4 so I am hoping history repeats itself. Fingers crossed for you both!
You're not going to believe this - my waters have just broken! No contractions or anything yet. Called my midwife who has told me to stay at home resting until proper contractions start which could be 12-24 hours.
Ohhhh how exciting. Keep us updated. Hopefully your don't wait too long
I've had BH all night. Constantly. I feel so bloody uncomfortable. 38 plus 1 here x
@unicornsprinklesss How exciting (and not jealous at all!)! Good luck, hope all goes well.
40+4 here and still nothing 😭
@unicornsprinklesss hope all is going well! Nothing to report here either...
Thank you everyone! And keeping my fingers crossed for you all. Still absolutely no contractions
Update: now getting mild tightenings like ramped up braxton hicks. Nothing too unbearable but hopefully means DS2 might be here by tomorrow!
That is exciting! Good luck!!
In hospital, 4cm dilated with 1 minute contractions every 4 ish minutes. Hurry up baby!!! I'll keep you posted.
Ooh see you soon baby!! Super news OP x
Oooh keep us posted. Good luck
Good luck OP! I'm having a cup of tea here and you're having a baby 😂🥰
Eek, you'll be meeting your baby very soon, OP!
There were a couple of hours earlier this evening where I was getting some pains and I thought things might be starting off here, but they seem to have eased off again now. Booooo.
Good luck!! 😊
Hi all! My little bundle Isaac was born at exactly 5:40am this morning after a long and painful labour, (no epidural as it made me pass out last time haha) weighing 8lb3oz. Baby and me are doing good! DS1 is coming to meet his little brother in a bit.
Hope you're all ok x
Congratulations!! 😊
Aw this is great news @unicornsprinklessseh
Aw, congratulations! Bet your DS1 is excited!
I’m a bit behind at 36 weeks but wanted to pop in to say congratulations unicorn!
Braxton hicks and nanny down pains here, but I fear I will probably just have them for 5 weeks.
*jabby down pains
Lovely news! Congratulations OP! I've been having lots of movement, so hoping something might happen soon - probably wishful thinking though
Thank you all! Can't wait for your babies to start popping out, let's keep this thread active
My mum took DS1 to the hospital to meet his little brother and his reaction was "ahhhh he's cute but shall we go home and leave him here now mummy?"
Aww, bless your DS1 @unicornsprinklesss. How old is he? My little girl is almost 4 and beside herself with excitement!
Nothing more to report from me at the moment (40+5). Taking up residence on my gym ball with a big bowl of pineapple, haha.
He is 2! @Fedoos
The gym ball is a bloody life saver.
Okay, had my sweep this morning. Midwife says I am 3cm dilated and cervix is very thin. She hopes that labour will start in the next day or two. Fingers crossed!!
Hope everyone else is doing well!
Oh that sounds promising @Ilovemypyjamas!
I just got back from having a sweep too. I'm only 1cm dilated but still hoping that the sweep will get things moving.
Fingers crossed for us both!
How are you doing Fedoos?
I'm having contractions every 4 minutes here, lasting 1 minute. Waiting on a phonecall back from the midwife now... Feeling a lot of pressure in my bits and my bum. Hoping this could be it!
Hi all,
I am 39+4 - first pregnancy- lost my mucous plug yesterday morning but nothing since then! Lots of movement today though!
Hopefully something happens soon!! ❤️
@Ilovemypyjamas YESSSS!!! keep us updated.
@cravingmilkshake fingers crossed
@unicornsprinklesss he is gorgeous- love the name!!
@Ilovemypyjamas Amazing! Sounds like things are moving quickly for you! Can't wait for an update. Still nothing doing here after my sweep. Maybe I need to see your midwife, she must have super powers! I'm beginning to feel like things will never get started. Will be 41 weeks tomorrow 😭
@unicornsprinklesss Just gorgeous 😊
Fingers crossed @cravingmilkshake!
Thank you all!!! Crossing my fingers for yous!!!
@Fedoos yes, she was pretty vigorous! Still at home just now, the contractions are getting a bit stronger but not too bad yet. Trying to eat some dinner and rest while I can.
@unicornsprinklesss Baby Isaac is just beautiful, congratulations!
@cravingmilkshake hoping you get going soon, I had lots of movement the past few days too so maybe it is a sign!
My contractions stopped but I'm dilated 5cms. Got sent home this morning after a very tiring night at the hospital! Knackered.
How is everyone else getting on?
@Ilovemypyjamas that's annoying but at least it's progress! KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED!
I'm adjusting to life with two kids, still resting after the birth. Breastfeeding is bloody exhausting but I'm so glad he's here. I still look about 6 months pregnant though haha.
Isaac is just gorgeous, thank you all (I may be biased). He has his check up in a couple of days time!
Hope you're all well x
I'm due a sweep this coming week. I'll be 39 plus 3. Baby was only 2/5 or 3/5 engaged. I don't know if I should go ahead with it or not. I'm in 2 minds as I've heard it is so painful.
39 weeks today. By this point with dd1, I'd already had her. Can't wait for this baby to make an appearance! No signs whatsoever that she's close to being born though!
Aww, I've been thinking about you today @Ilovemypyjamas and wondering how you were getting on. That's frustrating but good that things have moved on. Did they say when they'd expect things to get going again or is it just a waiting game?
Glad you and Isaac are getting settled in at home @unicornsprinklesss.
I had a sweep yesterday @Hellosunshine30. It was uncomfortable but not painful and once it was done it was done, I had no discomfort afterwards.
Fingers crossed something happens soon @Mrsmummy90.
STILL nothing to report here. Feeling quite down about it today ☹️
@Hellosunshine30 the sweep wasn't painful, just felt a bit uncomfy and odd. As soon as she stopped doing it, it was fine.
@Fedoos I think the sweep almost started something and then it stopped. So I've decided I don't want to force it, I'll just wait now don't feel sad, I am sure these babes will come when they are ready
@ilovemypyjamas @Fedoos thanks. Some people say it's pointless if you aren't in labour. It apparently only works if you were due to go into labour within 48 hours or something. This is my 1st and I bet I go over, although if I could go tonight I would be happy haha.
38+5 and done with being pregnant. Can barely walk. Splitting headache. Huge baby hanging out the right side of my bump. Ready to go but nothing happening.
Baby boy born last night at 11.50pm. Just made it for his due date!
Almost didn't make it to the hospital in time, he was born 25 minutes after we arrived
All doing well xx
How is everyone else doing? X
Congratulations @Ilovemypyjamas!!
I keep getting so many false starts that just trail off to nothing. Starting to think she's never coming!!
@ilovemypyjamas wow congratulations! You must be so chuffed. Weight?
I actually had a weird night. I don't want to overthink it.
Had a terribly sore bottom back. Had one since 20 weeks but this seemed even sore with more pressure on it.
Had to go for BM at about 3am!(tmi apologies)
Feeling sick
Just been to the toilet and saw what I think is the start of a show? Like a clear kinda mucus.
My nipples were leaking all last night too.
Could this be it hope so although it probably won't be x
Yay! Congratulations @Ilovemypyjamas! 25 minutes?! Wow that was cutting it fine! Glad you're both doing well.
Sounds promising @Hellosunshine30. Fingers crossed for you.
41+2 here and nothing to report. Feeling a bit more relaxed about things. Booked in for induction on Wednesday so the end is in sight and if baby decides to make an appearance before then it's a bonus.
He's 7lbs 11oz, but looks so tiny next to DD
Home now and resting.
My labour started off as feeling like I needed a poo but couldn't do it!!
@Fedoos that's good you have the end in sight.
@ilovemypyjamas Aww lovely. Congratulations again.
Well, I've nothing to report. I don't think it was my plug as I did some go ogling and it was totally clear unlike ones I saw on here and Google. Still have a very sore back and feel sick. Nothing else.
Hi all it's the OP (got locked out of my account so made a new one!) - promise it's me! @Ilovemypyjamas congratulations!!! yayyyyyyyyy.
I took Isaac for his check up today and all is well - he is a chunky monkey! DS1 is getting used to life with a sibling haha. Hope you're all doing well.
Glad all was good at the check up @nutellabebe
@ilovemypyjamas, I hope you and baby are doing well.
Any news from anyone else?
I'm going for one last sweep shortly in a last ditch attempt to get things going before being induced tomorrow!
Hi all,
40 +2 today, went in for reduced movements-baby seems fine! Because it is the second episode, I have a scan booked for Thursday morning.
They also tried to give me a sweep today but my cervix is too high and I am booked for induction Saturday morning at 9am 🥺 I hope baby makes an appearance before then!
I hope everybody else is doing well!?
39+2 today. Due date the 29th. Heatwave here. 36 degrees. So unbelievably hot and sweaty and ready to have baby. Ds arrived at 39+4. Fingers crossed.
So, we didn't quite make it to induction. The last sweep did the job and our little girl was born in the early hours of this morning. 9lb 15oz! No wonder I've been so uncomfortable!
We are both doing well. Back home by lunchtime after a pretty straightforward labour. Absolutely besotted with her.
Hope everyone else is doing OK.
Well done @Fedoos
I went into early labour late Monday night and baby boy was born this morning weighing 8lb 3. Pretty horrible labour, but so amazing St the same time.
Woo xx
@Fedoos and @Hellosunshine30 congratulations and a huge well done!!
Enjoy your lovely babies
Baby girl - Florence Marie born this afternoon at 12.50. 8lb9oz. Best addition to our family.
So relieved to no longer be pregnant.
@ememem84 well done and congratulations! What a beautiful name for her too
Well done @ememem84 fantastic news.
It's so nice to hear about all the July babies 😊
Can't believe my little one will be a week!
