Anyone awake to speculate wildly with me about whether I'm in labour?

[cockingup]

This is baby #2 - my first (now 4) came early and labour / delivery was unusual so don't really feel I have a 'normal' frame of reference.

I'm 38 weeks. Had sex at 10pm-ish for the first time in a long time. Now I'm getting tummy pains and tightenings every so often - though very mild - and wind, nausea, lots of pooing...

Basically I know the answer is "this might be labour, wait and see" but as per thread title I'd like some speculation buddies who are willing to confidently express their unqualified opinions, please. DH is snoring happily beside me but I can't sleep.

I checked back in assuming the recent posts would mean a baby and STILL NO?! Jeeeez OP, I'm frustrated by that, you must have been going insane! Hope all went smoothly and easily and you sneezed out a nice small one who sleeps perfectly from day 1!

4.56pm, 81b 1oz!

Oh I forgot a weight! 6:48pm 7lb 14oz

Checking in for news...squeee! Almost makes me want another one

I predict 1645, 8lb on the nose.

I’m going for 4:25pm weighing 7lb 3oz

I predict the early hours of the morning (sorry just going by my experience!) and 7lb 10
Good luck! I would perversely love to be in labour again 😉

Just read the thread in one go, expecting a baby at the end! Good luck OP, can't wait to see your update.

Hope your squigging your new bundle of joy by now!

I'm guessing 16.28

Good luck OP! Hope all goes well

Good luck

Oh I forgot a weight! I'm going for 8lb 10oz

8.34pm 7lb 2oz.
Good luck!

I’m going for 8lb 4oz and 15.27

Good luck!!!

17:32 7lb 9

My bet is baby is here. 8lbs 1oz; 19.5 inches long, and born at 3:20 pm.

That's it. Really I just hope the reluctant newcomer accepted his eviction notice so that his poor mother can get some rest. And sniffs of his lovely wee neck!

Never mind me I'm just taking a seat 🥤 🍿

19.10 and 7lb 8oz

5:58pm. 7 lbs 6.

My bet is right now! 6.04pm and a neat 7lb exactly

@missmouse101 I originally misread as 81lb and pulled an inadvertent face for poor OP

Please please pleeease can we have a photo when he arrives?! 🤞🏻

What can you possibly be doing OP that's more important than updating us?!

(Hope it's going well )

Be fair, everyone, she doesn't just have to birth the baby, there's the full school uniform and PE kit he's carrying in a backpack, too.

More names? How about Nivens (McTwisp) or William (as in W. Rabbit) - both used as names of the White Rabbit in versions of Alice in Wonderland?
