Hi all I am still waiting for baby to arrive 40+3 today feel like this is never going to happen I have had no signs either, just wish somthing would hapen and indicate things are ok and on the move.

I have managed to catch a cold from somwhere so I am not to upset if baby doesnt come tommorrow give me time to get over it.

good luck to all of you my sympathies are with all you over due ladies.

Im still here to and am feelin so fed up and huge, dp took me out for a birthday dinner and by the time we were half way home my stomach decided that something didnt agree with it dont know if it was the food as i had the same as i normally do or fingers crossed it cud be the start of sumthing???

mmmmchocolate · 24/10/2006 21:30

Hi not a real regular but have popped in every now and then.

but just wanted to let you know i had my baby on friday a perfect baby boy who we have called samuel william. he weighed a nice 7lb 12oz.

i was 40 + 3 and i felt my waters trickle at 12.40 am and my contractions started straight way and where only 3 mins apart from the start. phones my mum who came over to look after dd. she got here at 3.30 left for hosp and he was born 3 hours later.

i can safely say it was love at first sight. good luck to all still waiting and big congrats to all new mummys x

totallyfloaty35 · 24/10/2006 22:53

Congrats Gingema and mmmchoc.Goodluck to all ladies still waiting.

wuzzlefraggle · 25/10/2006 09:20

youngmum21 · 25/10/2006 09:37

Hope everyone else is feeling ok?? xx

DashingRedhead · 25/10/2006 09:47

Congrats to Gingeme and mmmmchoc.

Had my show this morning! I know it means that it could still be days away - the longest one mentioned on the other threads seems to be 2 weeks! But it's reassuring to know that something's happening. My official due date is tomorrow, but I think I'm a little overdue (maybe 4 days). Hang in there ladies, it can't be long now.

BENDYB · 25/10/2006 10:57

hi every1!
congratulations mmmmchocolate! & good luck 2 dashingRedhead, hopefully u haven't got long now!

youngmum21 · 25/10/2006 11:18

hi bendy,

I got thr rlt tabs but havent taken any as it says on the side that you shudnt take it until your in labour so am abit unsure bout wether too start taking it!!!!
I think im going to be late too unfortuatly i cant belive it nearly our time this month has gone so fast dont you think???
Ive been feeling sick too but not sure wether it just nerves!!! xx

wuzzlefraggle · 25/10/2006 11:20

no, ive still not drank any bendy lol. head like a sieve me. i'll have to remember to today.
not much happened today really...woke up feeling sick, ive had the odd period type pain and a few tummy tightenings, but thats about it.

im starting to worry a little now about induction coz ive not got a clue what happens with that etc

youngmum21 · 25/10/2006 11:23

try not worry wuzz you only one day ova at the min!! Are you going to have a sweep done they suppose to work for a lot of ppl??

wuzzlefraggle · 25/10/2006 11:27

i honestly dont know youngmum. i have to go and see my midwife on monday and ive been told that they like to start discussing induction when im 10 days overdue. there was no mention of a sweep.

bloddy hell, a sweep sounds brutal lol

silly that im worked up really, i know, but its so frustrating!
