OK, OK, so we already had a couple of babies on the last thread, but we're going to struggle to keep up with the number of new arrivals in this one!!!

Nose and groin swabs here. They told me not to shave incase I nick it and it gets infected. Fingers crossed you'll be ok x

RattyCatty · 01/02/2016 21:00

Thanks for well wishes ladies... 22 hours of contractions & 2cm dilated - the hospital have just sent me home 😔

Aw ratty Sad

I hope you are getting some sleep right now- or that you've gone back in and had the baby!

Newlywed123 · 02/02/2016 00:10

Oh ratty Sad

Hope things speed up very soon! Flowers

XingXingFox · 02/02/2016 04:09

ratty hope things have sped up for you!

rufus and phoenix good luck for your sections! So exciting!

MaisieDotes · 02/02/2016 06:33

Hi everyone! Delighted to report that babyDotes Fionn was born at 4.35am this morning weighing 9lb9oz!

All great so far. The birth was pretty quick and there was no time for an epidural but gas and air was enough this time.

Thinking of you today ratty and rufus

MaryEllen1 · 02/02/2016 06:36

Ahh maisie that's fantastic congratulations!!

Good luck today ratty and rufus

MaisieDotes · 02/02/2016 06:36

MaisieDotes · 02/02/2016 06:37

Thanks maryEllen! Smile Smile

Troika · 02/02/2016 06:50

Hooray Maisie!!
You were right on the random cleaning theory then!
Great news, so pleased the wait is over for you.

Ratty hope things get going properly for you, I can't even imagine how exhausted you must be.

Another terrible night sleep here Sad

Phoenix80 · 02/02/2016 07:01

Congratulations Maisie 😊

My section's not til Thursday but thanks for the good lucks x

haquoi123 · 02/02/2016 07:12

Congratulations maisie!! Grin

Very best of luck for today rufus

ratty hope you're doing ok and managing to rest in-between Flowers

I did shit loads of organising, cleaning and batch cooking yesterday and then had a huge depressive slump before bedtime. Hoping that means something for today (I have a reflexology appointment so hoping that helps as well)

IslaMann · 02/02/2016 08:54

Congratulations Maisie
Good luck today Rufus

madsaz76 · 02/02/2016 09:23

Woo hoo congratulations maisie
Positive vibes to rufus

I have got some attack of the evils today. DH was really irritating me last night before finally deciding he needed a takeaway at 10pm. On a Monday Hmm

So had to try one we don't normally use.

He's came with a chilli sauce so jot it should have had a health warning. He woke at 4 with heartburn Smile

He has since annoyingly kept me awake with his rolling around but apparently has a very real risk of sudden death (don't worry I'm confident it's not a heart attack).

I know I should fake sympathy but feels a lot like payback Grin

HandbagFan · 02/02/2016 11:56

Congratulations Maisie! Fantastic news!

Rufus I'm thinking good thoughts for you and sending best wishes for today.

Can you believe it's only the 2nd and the babies are coming thick and fast? 39+3 today and wishing it was happening for me...

XingXingFox · 02/02/2016 13:13

Congrats maisie!!

I totally agree hangbag am getting loads of messages asking if baby is here. No! At least the due date (next weekend) is in sight. I am so ready!

MaisieDotes · 02/02/2016 14:25

Thanks so much everyone! Smile

goneswimming · 02/02/2016 16:08

ECV failed today- babyswimming now due to join us by forcible eviction on Feb 18th.

haquoi123 · 02/02/2016 16:50

Sorry to hear that gone! How are you feeling? How far are you?

I had a reflexology session today - I specifically didn't want a nudge, just relaxation and boy did I get relaxation! Have spent the rest of the day in bed, feeling exhausted but very relaxed. I'm hoping baby senses that I'm ready for him and decides to make an appearance. Nothing so far though.

mad how's your DH doing now?

goneswimming · 02/02/2016 17:43

I'm 37 weeks haquoi

Rufus200 · 02/02/2016 17:59

Congrats maisie

Joshua-James arrived at 10.38am. Doing really well, he has been a little angel so far. I had a reaction to the epidural drugs and I've been itching from head to belly button ever since. Can move my legs but still not got full feeling, which is a good thing or would be scratching there to! Had several crying fits this morning with fear.

monkerina · 02/02/2016 18:10

Congrats to Rufus and others!! Flowers

And commiserations goneswimming... at least you have a countdown now Smile

37+5 here and starting to get a bit jealous!

Phoenix80 · 02/02/2016 18:17

Congratulations Rufus xx

haquoi123 · 02/02/2016 18:21

Congratulations rufus!! Please post a pic of you're happy to do so :) lovely name as well

gone bubs might still turn - fingers crossed for you Flowers

How're you doing ratty?

goldmaple · 02/02/2016 18:49

maisie congrats! Glad to hear DC3 labor was fast (and sounds uncomplicated if only gas used but I know that may be a generalization!)
But 9lb9oz!! Big babySmile

I'm very jealous of all the ladies having newborn snuggles!!

I didn't have the sweep today , but I figure if I'm still pregnant next week (at 39+2) then I will.

gone sorry to hear the ECV failed. Fingers crossed that baby turns... I can't remember how far along you are. And I have no idea if the babies even have room to turn!
