Baby boy arrived safely this morning, delivered at home weighing 8lbs 6, one day before his due date. We are besotted with him x

Aw brilliant! Congratulations! Penguin thinking of you.

I'm finding walking pretty difficult now, had weird stabbing pains shooting up the right side of my groin! Hope this doesn't go on too long!
Got the bedside crib up today and made it all ready!

So my beautiful daughter was born at 8.09pm weighing 8lb on the dot! Cannot believe how quick it was, I have lots of stitches but mainly lots of grazes nothing major.

I'm on the post natal ward on my own and I don't want to sleep at all, I know I should but I can't bring myself to sleep when she's so new and little! Eeek!

balalalala · 18/09/2016 02:53

Congratulations both!

0hCrepe · 18/09/2016 03:05

Oh fantastic news!
I've just woken up and went to the loo. Felt a lot of wetness when I stood up but not sure if it's significant or not! Confused!

Bobbycatz · 18/09/2016 03:05

Congratulations! Yeah the babies are arriving!

My waters broke at 1am and I'm currently in the assessment unit...

Eek Bobby! Are you having contractions?

nuggles · 18/09/2016 15:30

I love baby news! Congrats Ace and Penguin

How's it going at the assessment ward Bobby

I've been losing my bloody plug all day with stronger braxton hicks. 3rd sweep in the morning in the hope midwife can help speed things along before induction. Eek!

13loki · 18/09/2016 21:48

Today is my due date. Some painful braxton hicks, but nothing more exciting. Very sick of everyone staring at me waiting for something to happen.

nuggles · 19/09/2016 20:33

Third sweep today and nothing but period cramps and bleeding.

Hospital want to drip induce me tomorrow 😕 Excited but terrified!

Bobbycatz · 20/09/2016 01:56

Congrats Bobby

nuggles · 22/09/2016 19:53

Yay all the babies are coming!

My little boy arrived on Tuesday after having my waters broken at 40+12. He arrived in a 3hr mad rush! 😀

0hCrepe · 22/09/2016 20:08

Wow congratulations! I'm having mine broken tomorrow (unless I really am last on the list) so hoping it's the same! Hope you're having a lovely time.

13loki · 22/09/2016 20:45

Baby born at 00:04 this morning, after being admitted at 11pm last night. Pretty much walked from assessment room to delivery room, did a wee, then had him walking back to the bed. I think I got 2 contractions with gas and air before he was out. 2 minutes pushing, then 1 minute later placenta was out. I did warn them I birth quickly Grin

0hCrepe · 22/09/2016 20:54

Congratulations! Fast work!

MrsCeee · 22/09/2016 21:23

Wow, its lovely reading about these births! Congratulations to all and hope you and your babies are doing well.

nuggles · 22/09/2016 22:10

Congratulations! Sounds like a very crazy labour for you.

Good luck tomorrow crepe - it's the weirdest feeling having your waters broken - advise not to wear socks!
