[Rhienne]

Running out of space over here so a new thread for all our fabulous birth stories!

Thanks Mama. I am in now and starting to feel quite excited.

Good luck Dizzi thinking of you today! As Mamma said, your baby just needs you, and you magically transform to fulfil all those needs.

Good luck DIzzi

Good luck Dizzi am sure you will be fine when you get there. I am counting the days until my c section. A long two weeks ahead! X

Good luck Dizzi. Am I right in thinking you have a surprise re sex. So exciting.

It's all going on today to anyone that hasn't seen fb both twinkiling and Cheerful are having pains start Goof luck ladies. I'm so jealous.

Mother in Law told me this morning that shes really busy and as my DP is also baby had better stay put this week. Lovely just what I wanted to hear

37+4

Good luck dizzi.

Wonder how many more we'll get before may arrives?!

Good luck oops

You'll be fine Dizzi- another one for MMMM ! ;-)

Good luck Dizzi I was exactly the same last Thursday but you will
Run off adrenalin once the little one is in your arms. I'm still sore but massive difference every day.. Take all the pain relief they offer after x

Congratulations gold! :o Wonderful news.

Good luck dizzi. Don't panic, you'll be fine.

For those of us that are still left and are keen to get things moving - Morrisons are selling pineapples at 50p each. I've ate about 3 already whilst bouncing on my birthing ball!

I feel like I'm the only one still pregnant, everyone else have either already had their babies or havr started to go into labour, even my friends cat went into labour last night! How many of us are left?

Baby is getting very big now and some of her movements are hurting quite a bit as she runs out of space. Last night she kept kicking my ribs really hard. It was so sore that I jumped a couple of times too, is anyone else experiencing the same?

Tiger Nearly all my friends have had their babies just me and one other to go. My baby is head down curled around with his feet on my right side. I have a foot almost constantly poking out its really uncomfortable. He's either really long so can't manoeuvre his legs up a bit or really big

I am still here Tiger and Beaut, nothing happening at all. Only 37+1 so expecting a long wait. Was induced with my DD at 39 weeks so don't know if she would have been late or not but at least I know I only have a max of 2 weeks with my c section booked.

Another one joining Tiger, Beaut & NG on the subs bench, just got back from the Dr. Baby not engaged and cervix firmly shut - still waiting. another appointment next week to discuss induction, which he is totally fine with.

Hope all has gone well for you Dizzi

I'm not even due until the 16th its just I really thought I would of had him by now. Not sure why as Ive not had an early baby before. I'm going to make an attempt to put the cot together now maybe that will help

I'm still here too ladies 37 + 2 xx

Hopefully we won't be too long then. I'm just back from a scan after bleeding and cramps last week, everything is fine but the doctor said she reckons that I had my show on Friday, or at least some of it, but can't predict if I'll go into labour soon.

You're due before me beaut, I'm due on the 22nd but after my false alarm I'm desperate for her to come now, I had psyched myself up for having her over the weekend as the same happened when I was pregnant before with DS and I had him that night.

Just got back from seeing the Dr and the Fysio.

Fysio was interesting, had a vaginal examination to determine of I was using the right muscles when doing my pelvic floor exercises. Thankfully I am! I was so unsure of if I was using the right ones and if they had any strength in them. I need to do a lot for of them to build up strength but at least I've been doing the right thing.

Asked Gyny about the strep-B infection and in particular how long I would get before being induced if my waters broke. The answer was, as soon as my waters break I should go to hospital and they will induce immediately... Hoping that won't happen. Bought some probiotics for me and the baby yesterday, but she seems to think they are a load of nonsense. Well they might be, but I am going to give them a shot anyway.

Good luck to all the ladies who are close to giving birth! I am so very much in two minds about it. On the one hand I am so excited about finally meeting my daughter, on the other hand I feel unprepared for the reality of actually becoming a Mum and want her to stay inside right up until she is due...

I'm still here to, 38 weeks tomorrow. Had no sign of baby thinking of coming and no braxton hicks. Gonna get a ball so I can start trying out the bouncing see if that works. I have made plans everyday this week just to pass the time.

Baby Fleur Eleanoor was born at 8:45 this morning, weighing 3.86kg. She is gorgeous! I am in love.

Awww congrats dizzi beautiful name :-) another lil lady to the thread xxxx

Congratulations dizzy that's lovely, I bet she's a beautiful little girl too.

Congratulations Dizzy another beautiful name.

I have just finished putting up the cot. Very proud of myself

Congratulations dizzi.

Plenty of us left tiger. I'm not due until 31st but the other two were a month early. It's frustrating knowing it could start at any moment, but also I could still have another 5 weeks! I felt like it was close yesterday, today I don't feel anywhere near.

Well done beaut. I'd probably get told off by DH if I don't ours, plus I have zero energy.

35+3
