39 weeks and so, so fed up. Baby is measuring big, I have only put any real weight on on my bump and it’s exhausting.

I’ve had cramps since 37 weeks, they seem to be getting progressively worse but then back to nothing.

So I just want to know to drive myself mad what week you went into labour, especially with the first?

And if anyone knows any secret to getting this baby out, I’m willing to pay Wink

42 exactly.

Olissa8 · 01/06/2019 09:27

42+1, 42+4... Then things improved, 40+2! And finally DD3 by elCS at 39+1.
I am sure these last few weeks exist to make you glad when you go into labour. Good luck!

31 + 2 had 3 sweeps wouldn't have them again as think it might of been that that gave me an infection but who knows. If I have another one I'm going to try and wait it out. It will happen haha! Xx

41 weeks exactly.
Osteopath induced labour through acupressure as I was showing some possible early signs of preeclampsia so they were talking about an induction over the weekend, which I was determined to avoid at all costs.
Went from “no way is that baby coming on it’s own” to “oh you’ve had your baby” from the same gynaecologist in less than 18 hours Grin

TheSheepofWallSt · 01/06/2019 09:29

Gynaecologist!??
Have been seeing one of those too often recently...
Obstetrician!

OhTheRoses · 01/06/2019 09:31

36.3 (braxton hicks throughout). Recent research indicates may have been due to rising tsh that 25 years ago was not routinely monitored

27 (v poorly baby and tragic outcome)

41.5 induced - fab labour and v easy birth.

Baby 1 is impatient, Baby three has to be v sure before trying out something for the first time. Interesting analogy

NanooCov · 01/06/2019 09:33

40+5 with first, 38+6 with second (though I was induced with him).

DowntonCrabby · 01/06/2019 09:35

42 weeks both times.

Passthecherrycoke · 01/06/2019 09:35

OP I feel you. 40+1 here, cramps for 3 days now, mucus plug Started coming away 2 days ago and now seems clear. The cramps are getting very very painful but don’t feel like contractions. My first was born at 40+2 but that included 3 days of contractions 5 mins apart, the onset was much faster!

I’m only getting 4 hours sleep a night so very fed up!

Peccary · 01/06/2019 09:36

41+2, went in to labour the day before induction was booked in.

Trebla · 01/06/2019 09:36

41 weeks
39+5 weeks
40 weeks
Currently 38+3 weeks

Bluerussian · 01/06/2019 09:39

39=2 by dates.

smurfy19 · 01/06/2019 09:41

40 but really he was 4 hours and 8 mins late 😂 went into labour after throwing a small toy about with my stepkids 🙈 50 minute labour though so there’s hope 🤞 good luck and try and enjoy these last few weeks of pregnancy, you’ll miss having your baby wriggling inside you x

FortheloveofJames · 01/06/2019 09:43

DS came on his due date Grin. Went to the hospital at 7 in the morning as i thought I was in labour. By the time I got there and was seen though I swiftly realised I wasn’t 😂 they did give me a sweep though. That was enough and he was born later that day.

Jinglejanglefish · 01/06/2019 09:44

39 weeks exactly

Girlicorne · 01/06/2019 09:45

both of mine were born on their due dates so I went to 40 weeks both times!

Pinkvoid · 01/06/2019 09:46

40+3 with my first three, yes that was a little weird. Think my body is like clockwork Grin.
39+1 with DC4 but it was an ELCS so he’d probably have got to 40+3 too!

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 01/06/2019 09:50

42+1

Aww it does seem to drag the time. I dropped around 37 week and was convinced he would come soon but no

peachgreen · 01/06/2019 09:51

41+3. Though I loved being pregnant and would quite happily have stayed that way for another few weeks!

peachgreen · 01/06/2019 09:53

And my DD was 10lb 13oz Grin I was very lucky to have such an easy pregnancy despite that. Not sure how!

Crapplepie · 01/06/2019 09:55

42 with both. 1st was spontaneous, 2nd induced. Good luck!

Treaclepie19 · 01/06/2019 09:56

First baby gave birth 37+4

Gertie75 · 01/06/2019 09:57

39+5 with both of mine, no warning signs with either and they both began with the first contraction waking me at 5.30am, must be my body's way of evicting babies!

TheGoogleMum · 01/06/2019 09:59

40+3 but had my bloody show and some intense contractions at 40+1... they were regular by the next day but didn't reach over 2cm until 40+3 am
