Congratulations Toby, awesome news! Hope the extra time in hospital gives you a nice opportunity to chill and relax with the new arrival :)

Frizz1986 · 08/01/2014 15:05

Yay toby Awesome news!!

It really feels like babies are coming thick and fast now. Yay! Hope your night in is comfortable and you get out early tomorrow morning.

nature my 'braxton hicks' lasted for 3 days before i lost my plug and i gave birth within 24hrs of losing it, so you never know!

sarahleanne · 08/01/2014 15:09

Congrats toby !!!! Fab news. I'm getting very jealous of all these babies now .

Bluecarrot · 08/01/2014 15:28

Congrats toby. Hope you get a great rest now!

nature my sweep (Monday night) caused my plug to go yesterday but no hint of even a twinge yet but of course it was artificially knocked out iykwim, so doesn't really count. Know in normal circs it can mean a week or two before labour starts

BookTart · 08/01/2014 15:35

Lovely news toby :) Hope you all get to go home soon.

Congratulations, Toby!

enormouse · 08/01/2014 16:16

Aaw welcome to the world miss lerone. The babies really are coming thick and fast now Smile. Congrats Toby.

Am exactly 38wks today. Wish baby mouse would get a move on but I'm certain he'll be late. Currently waiting on Dp and ds to come home - I asked for pringles and bread to make choc spread on toast hours ago.

BandontheFun · 08/01/2014 16:28

Congratulations Toby

I am 40+2 today and no signs yet.

Can It be my turn next please?! :)

alteredimages · 08/01/2014 16:38

Congratulations Toby and MissLerone! Brilliant news!

nature I never had a show with either DD or this one. With Nour I noticed tiny bits of mucus occasionally for two weeks but nothinf big, and with DD had none at all so not losing your plug doesn't necessarily mean anything.

another I totally relate to the night time feeding pooping cycle. Every time I think Nour might be full enough to sleep he empties his bowels and is ready to start again. DD awake all day and he is up all night.Confused

Toothfairy78 · 08/01/2014 17:09

Congratulations toby and welcome to the World MissLerone!

nature it sounds like the start of labour? Call the midwife and check it out just to set yourself at ease?

Oops, should have said GOOD LUCK to bunt too! X

OnlyThePurpleOnes · 08/01/2014 17:36

Hurrah, congrats Toby! Super exciting that all these babies are joining us finally.

I lost a hunk of plug Monday night, and another hunk Tuesday morning. No further action as yet. 38+2 today, and I'm starting to feel quite anxious about everything.

HumptyDumptyBumpty · 08/01/2014 17:55

Congratulations toby that's fab news! Hope the fibroids didn't cause issues, looking forward to hearing her name and your story when you have time.

Percypiglet · 08/01/2014 17:57

Well done Toby , glad babylerone is finally here safely. Congrats. Update on name when you are ready please.

Well am knackered, have done too much today I think (been nesting read cleaning), however I have now got the last thing (nursing bras) for the hospital bag, hurrah. so all ready, even if not mentally, for the baby to come!

Mythreeknights · 08/01/2014 18:10

Congratulations toby!!!!

Mythreeknights · 08/01/2014 18:13

only try to keep as positive as possible...the better your mindset when you go into labour the easier you will find it...but there is abundant pain relief available and all will be ok. I am anxious as I can't believe I will actually be blessed with a healthy baby at the end of it all...it seems too miraculous to be true. I can't believe it until it happens iyswim

Naturegirl82 · 08/01/2014 18:30

Getting a lot more stabby cervix pains and definite period pain now. Still not painful and baby is still moving so I'm happy to just see where it goes. Bump feels much heavier so wonder if she has dropped a bit.

Just getting a few last bits of cleaning done before dh takes me out for dinner Smile

Thanks mythree, I'm trying! I'm so busy I mostly just get on, and then all of a sudden I remember what's to come and I have a little rush of the 'oh shits's!' I had an epidural after 6hrs labour last time, and the birth was very calm and we were both fine. Sounds silly, but I think it's because I know I have DD now, I worry if anything were to happen to me (which of course it won't) I'd be leaving her with no mummy. Ridiculous hey? I have a few friends who've had complications recently though, including one who developed eclampsia and HELP syndrome, so I think that's affecting my thinking. I'm normally pretty practical, despite suffering anxiety.

Anyway, not long to go, and then I get to worry about a whole host of other stuff! Feeding, rashes, sniffles, consistency of poos... There's always something to panic about hey?!

Are people still getting that 'kicked in the chuff' feeling? I have it almost constantly now, to the point where it's hard to walk when I first get up.

Nature hopefully not long left for you!

Frizz1986 · 08/01/2014 19:16

only I am getting a kicked in the chuff feeling and that's 2 weeks after giving birth. Can't wait for all the aches and pains to go away.
Labour will be fab. I think I while u are waiting for it, ur mind goes awol and thinks stupid stuff. Once things kick off u'll have no time to worry about things.
