Enjoy!! :)

Congratulations MakeTea! that's fantastic news, so pleased for you it was quick & straightforward.

Things all quietenrd down here, managed not be sick since last night tho awful sleep. Woke worried baby not moving but have got her wriggling now, phew.

Any more full moon babies?

weesooty what does mw say about the itching? Sorry, prob discussed on other thread.

Midwife and doctors can't do anything. Apparently just one of these random pregnancy things. It's called PUPPS seems to be a reaction to the baby's DNA., which makes me feel a bit of a crap mum! It should go away when baby is born! Feeling very sorry for myself!

Congrats, MakeTea! Amazing stuff. And good luck to those in labour. Lots of popping going on!

We had a rough night (well, early morning) but then the first tummy time this afternoon, after the womble's cord stump came off this morning. She can lift and turn her head from side to side already! Her expression of utter disgust when she tried to push up with her feet, got some ground clearance and then couldn't actually move anywhere was hilarious.

Well done Maketea !!

Who was asking about whooping earlier in the thread? I have a flu & whooping jab booked for a few weeks time...

Oh congratulations Maketea!

And good luck for Hetty and Earnest - lots of babies popping at once! Fabulous. :)

Well done Hetty Right on time!!

Hi, not sure if it is too late to join?! Pretty new to mumsnet and came across you all. I am 30 years old and I'm 39 weeks with my first (a surprise)

weesooty I had PUPPS earlier on in the 2nd tri, got rid of it using coal tar soap 2 or 3 times a day then slathering myself in sudocrem, it made a difference so fast after suffering none stop for over a week.

Wools forgot to say congratulations to all those who have already had their gorgeous babies, not sure I will have time to read back on all the threads

SUCH exciting news - all these lovely babies

Congrats to MakeTea and Hetty

Congratulations maketea and hetty

I had loads of BH through the night, but all is calm again this morning. Just working up to going back to bed probably not the best day to give birth as I have my ds off school poorly. Thankfully dh is working from home so at least I'm not having to do much.

Forgot to say r&b, hope things go ok at the MW today, you must be thoroughly fed up!

Wow, congrants to all the new mums!

Must have been the full moon

Congrats to hetty and maketea - it really must have been the full moon

rnb hope you don't have to wait too much longer!!

loopy only a few more days to go at work - hope you are spoilt by your colleagues!

sooty hope the coal tar soap works xx

And welcome finbert!

All pretty much the same here - zero BH / contractions. It finally feels like we're making progress at home. We went to choose the bedroom carpets on Saturday so waiting for a fitting date (fx v soon) when it'll feel more finished. Kitchen is coming along and should be fully functioning in a few days. PHEW.

Thanks for the welcome

thunder I will try my hardest not to queue jump although reckon I will go over as it is my first! Due on the 8th

Thanks everyone :) Midwife agreed to do another sweep despite the bleed last time. Apparently the latent stop/start labour I've been having has progressed me to 3cm, so at least its done something!

More tightenings going on now, just going to rest today ready for the induction tomorrow if nothing progresses. MIdwife doesnt think they will give me the pessary though as I am too dilated, thinks they'll go straight to breaking my waters and then the dreaded drip...

Thanks everyone :) having snuggles before the other kids get back from my parents, 'tis all very nice and quiet and relaxed.

Went to bed last night feeling really nauseous again and then woke up at 1.10am with contractions - started 10 minutes apart and called the labour ward an hour later when they'd progressed to 5-6 minutes. Went into a triage room in the midwife led unit and was strapped up to a CTG to monitor little one - midwives didn't believe I was progressing or in 'much pain' because I was laughing and joking with my sister asked them to do an internal and was told to wait... When they eventually did one half hour later both looked at each other with shocked faces and said I was 10cm. I resisted the urge to say 'told you so' :o

Had no pain relief up to 10cm but at that point I had to give in and had gas and air, little one was unexpectedly back to back when they examined me but the midwife actually felt her turn around before she was born. Felt the urge to push and 2 minutes later Penny appeared :o

She was born at 4.28am and weighs 7lb 7oz. She's squishy and lovely and I don't want to put her down :o

I'll catch up with you all properly later, hope everyone is well xx

What a fantastic birth story Hetty

I want one like that please

Love the name Hetty & I'd happily take that birth too!!

Seriously, well done you

Hi all, just to update and for those not on FB, I'm still having the odd contraction but not at all regular (had BHs which then started to get uncomfortable and eventually painful, pretty much all night, then all fizzled out at about 9am). Just had a bit of a show so I'm hoping it might ramp up again tonight. It's my birthday tomorrow, I wonder if I'll end up sharing it! I think a baby would be a pretty good birthday present :)

Huge congrats to Hetty and MakeTea, and lots of good wishes to those waiting and/or currently niggling.
