Hi all,

New thread and probably our last in ante-natal.

Holy crap!

Wow miss congratulations! You went from nothing happening to a baby in a day, do you think it was the sex that did it? That's the one thing I really can't face, don't know where I'd get the energy or how we'd even manage it.

Now 2 days from due date and very ready to go anytime.

Congratulations misshooha.

39+1 today.

Congratulations misshoohaa on your arrival. Enjoy your baby daughter x

Congratulations misshooha :) enjoy the cuddles with your DD

Right then,who's next?My EDD is next week,I already said to DH that if this baby stays a bit longer I'd be able to go my last car boot sale

Thanks all. Notsofast, perhaps the sex but in all honesty I think as hard as it is they just come when they r ready.

Wow, I forgotten how hard hour 15-48 are, constantly feeding and if not on the boob, screaming! Please tell me I'm not the only one?

Hi Miss hoohaa, congratulations amazing news!

No you are not the only one! I felt exactly the same when my DS arrived you just forget. My DD is 3 and v independent so it was a shock to the system. My DS has only just started to get into a little feeding routine. He was readmitted into hospital last week with jaundice so I am now expressing and feeding to ensure he gets enough. Although its a pain to express atleast my DH can feed him somrtimes. It does get better and settle down promise!

39+2...

I'm clary saged up to the eyeballs

The heat is pretty hideous out, 25degrees C.

Congratulations to all the new mums!
40+3 today.. Feeling a bit frustrated.. Nothing seems to be helping me start labour. Anyone else feels the same?

Morning mrs Bon - 40+6 today and nothing going on here either :)

Sleeping is getting so much harder, looking forward to losing the bump! 39+3 today.

The magic 40+0 today and she seems happy enough to stay put - unfortunately. Totally agree on the sleeping stacks, that and swollen feet are doing my head in. So glad I have an end date in sight though.

Just noticed a post natal thread for the July bus though, no fair!

39+3 and very hormonal today. Cried all morning.

Notfast,my DS was 2 weeks late,I was right at the end of the "popping order" on the last antenatal thread and felt so jealous of people already talking about their babies.I didn't want to post on postnatal thread as I had nothing to say still being pg and felt like an outsider.Sadly I never managed to reconnect with some very nice people on the thread.

Being overdue sucks.I got my DS at the end,lovely healthy boy but when my friend was exactly in the same situation 2 months ago all these feelings like jealousy and resentment came back.Hormones don't help either as I kept winding myself up even more and ended up upset for no reason.
Unfortunately this is the nature,some women will give birth at 37-38 weeks,some at 42 and beyond.Not fair but hey ho,what can you do.

So to all of you who are already 40weeks + have some and if you feel like telling me to fucking stick them in my fucking arse then I completely understand where you're coming from.

Been there,done that,got the baby 2 fucking weeks later t-shirt

40+6 today, and while I am totally down with her being later am getting a bit annoyed as it's such a waste of my maternity leave! I worked until 39 weeks and caved to stop then but could have worked until 40 I'm only having 16 weeks off so every week counts!!

Consultant tomorrow to book in a CS if it doesn't happen soon so either way fx I should have baby by this time next week

I was 15 days late last time so should really have known better, just couldn't stop that little bit of hope that this one would be different. I have my cs booked for next Monday though so at least I know it won't drag on again. I felt I had wasted Mat leave too last time as I finished at 37 weeks then had 5 weeks of nothing. Not as bad this time though as I've been on annual leave so mat leave only started on Friday. It does suck though, my neighbour is due in July and if she dares have a baby before me I will cry and stamp my feet!

Notfast, a friend of mine was due 3 days before her SIL. SIL gave birth (easy vag delivery) on my friend's EDD. My friend had to wait till 40+12 for her induction and then wait another couple of days at the hospital because of lack of beds.

When they finally induced her it turned out the baby was breech and she had a labour from hell. 6 hours if pushing, nothing happened so EMCS, drugged up to the eyeballs. Baby was 10lb4oz and with some medical issues ( currently awaiting the appointment with paediatrician. To top it up she ended up with cs wound infection.

I was raging on her behalf when I heard about her SIL, being pg myself. I know there should be a popping order but it fucking doesn't fucking work this fucking way sadly some cheeky cows women due after you will give birth earlier how fucking dare they???

You can probably say reading this post that i'm entering into overdue rage.

According to the internet my EDD is today, NHS moved it a day later. Roll on fucking 42 weeks

Rant over.

Oh my that's awful, poor woman. This pregnancy lark can be extremely shitty. I'm not going to moan again for the rest of the day.

I just feel guilty about my 2 yo, we're stuck in a lot as I'm struggling to lift her in/out of the car and walk any distance and I just think the poor lamb is gettin a bum deal and that's before the horror of a new demanding baby comes to disrupt everything she's used to. I also have no clue what I'm going to do with 2 of them. Sometimes I question wtf I was thinking!

Welcome to the club! DS just turned 2 a few weeks ago and is giving me a very hard time sometimes- he wants,he doesn't want, he doesn't know what he wants... I left him dowstairs on Friday and went upstairs to the bedroom t have a cry as i was so fed up of his antics.

We've just finished the chase to get dressed/wash, can't get him to put the shoes on ( kicking and screaming) so he's not going outside without the shoes cue another meltdown.

I don't know what the heck i'm going to do when DC2 arrives.

Hugs x

39+4 today. Feeling better today, even if I did have the insomnia at 4am.

Making banana and walnut loaf today

Glad you're feeling more positive today mummy these hormones are hard going sometimes! think I was awake at 4 am too, just too bloody hot!

blad your toddler sounds like mine! She refused shoes yesterday and then totally lost it when she wasn't allowed out. She also has a very sarcastic 'nooooo' for every question as if I'm some idiot who keeps asking her ridiculous things. I've threatened to sell her countless times but she doesn't care.

Notfast, i said to DS countless times he's going "free to a good home" . 95% of time he's lovely but when he's got a fit i just want to shut myself somewhere and cry.

Mummy, i love baking! Your loaf sounds very yummy. My MIL came to a rescue today and we scoffed some lovely straciatella cake!

Hi girls - just popped in to say hi!
Hope you are all heading in the right direction, well I guess that is inevitable!

All good with little miss, after night two she calmed right down and the feeding is now more regular and the screaming that we had for the first two days has thankfully become a rarity.

Absolutely besotted and just adore her!

Can't wait to hear more announcements soon!

So, at 41+1 baby girl was born 8lb 10oz via an ELCS. Was hoping to try for a natural birth up to 42 weeks but it didn't work out that way in the end. Super happy though, and everything is going as well as can be expected

Hooray! Congrats Mitchell!congratulations on arrival of your DD! Wishing you speedy recovery :)

Hello Miss, nice to see you, glad to hear MiniMiss is settling fine.

Who's next? Come on June babies, don't wait till July!
