I’m 405 (42) weeks pregnant. And I’m finally in labour.

I’ve had a number of is this it moments and nothing. But I’m finally in labour!

Was booked in for an induction on Tuesday but seems like this baby has decided to finally come out!!

Current contractions are between 7-8 minutes apart and I AM LOVING IT!!

Just thought I would share because I no longer feel like I’m having an elephant gestation Grin

Thanks all. He’s lovely and very cuddly.

Apologies I’ve just re-read last post, and with a flair of the dramatics I meant 8 hours not 18 Confused

But yes, wasn’t how I planned it but we’re both here and healthy and that’s what counts.

Oh my God so happy for you!!! I'm 39 weeks and have been told it's a big baby and that I should be concerned about natural delivery because of his size. It's really made me so anxious and upset but reading this post has made me hopeful that I can have a natural birth too. Congratulations to you on delivering your baby 😊

WinterRose92 · 23/06/2019 06:06

Awww, amazing news! Congratulations! Hope you are both doing well xx

Well done OP, I know it can be disappointing when things don't go to plan but getting baby here is the main objective and it doesn't matter how you do it.

11lb 2oz....what a size. Bet he is super squishy and cuddly.

Enjoy your baby!!!

Congratulations from me too. Is he a Cancer baby then? If so he will be super close to his mummy and love her for life xxx
