Hello ladies,
Congratulations to all who have had their new babies! It?s been a while since i posted. I had just finished catching up on the thread(s!)...there was sooo much... after starting maternity leave , when my little one arrived. I had a little boy on 9th January Cian 9lb 3. Good luck to all still awaiting the arrival of their little ones.

Sersi · 27/01/2010 18:49

Hullo,
Spotted the post on the pregnancy thread about updates.
I'm 8 days overdue and still waiting - induction planned for Saturday but really hoping it won't come to that.

Huge congratulations to all those wonderful new arrivals.

Congrats to all the mummies updating us on their arrivals.

Good luck yangymac, hoping labour starts naturally for you and baby decides to turn the 'right' way in time.

sazlocks Congratulations Samuel is a lovely name

yangymac It must be nice knowing that it will be over for you soon. Fingers crossed todays sweep starts something for you.

Rant alert Its not my due date for another 2 days and in the space of 10 mins just now me and dp got 3 text messages asking if anything had happened yet???!!! WTF, I am so annoyed and upset that this is starting already. And the fact we got that many in one go has made it worse.

What do you do? Do you ignore people and risk them texting more? We have 250 texts a month and I dont want them wasted on this. I never had this with dd because she was 2 days early!

Dp is having a go at me for getting upset about it!

Biccy · 27/01/2010 21:56

fibilou, sorry you're feeling down. I'm trying to think of each day that goes by as one less day ticked off that I have to wait, even though I don't know what I'm counting down from, IYSWIM.

mama2moo, rant away. It's nutty, I really don't know why people do it. Surely they know we will all be in touch as soon as there is news and we're able to get to a phone? I agree, it drives me insane too. I had some of these messages about 10 days before my due date. I just replied 'No, no baby yet, but then it's not actually due until 24th! Will be sure to let you know'. Haven't had any more from any of them.

What would actually be nice I think is if people asked if you wanted some company, rather than just pester for news that surely they know they will get when there's any to be had!

Still, another side of me knows it's just because people are excited and maybe we should be more pleased with them for at least asking after us (in their clumsy way) than the people who just ignore you for a month!

FifiForgot · 27/01/2010 22:05

Evening all.

Just to let you know Angus Howard Charles arrived on Monday 25 January weighing in at 7lb 10oz. Elective section was a breeze and his big sister is very proud and even more convinced (at 3.5) that she wants to be a doctor!

We've just got home so will catch up on the new arrivals when all the visiting has calmed down (in laws arrive tomorrow for a couple of days, closely followed by various godparents and aunts and uncles).

Good luck to all those waiting and congratulations to the new arrivals.

Fifi

maygirl · 27/01/2010 22:10

Another surge of arrivals, yey, congratulations Pleased to hear you had a successful VBAC krldt0710 , any tips gratefully received!

I hope you won't have to wait too much longer fibilou, I know how hard it is going past that due date, they should tell us 41 weeks for a first baby, would help psychologically I think, and is the average for for a first pregnancy.

Sorry to hear about your granda Skidoodle, we lost a dear uncle 2 days before DS arrived, it was upsetting to miss his funeral. I hope if you end up having an ELCS on friday it is a postive experience for you.

I hope the sweep does the trick yangymac, don't lose faith in your body, it knows to stop trying to birth a large baby in an awkward postition, and is giving her opportunities to turn. You have a doula don't you? If you have an induction she'll be great at helping you use the contractions to help get the baby positioned better, and having delivered naturally before you've got an excellent chance of doing it again I think. Have a nice weekend with DD and DH if nothing happens before then.

I've booked some acupuncture for tomorrow then off to see consultant to book ELCS date in case go totally overdue.

maygirl · 27/01/2010 22:25

Congratulations fifi, glad it went well!

I had the same yesterday mama2moo, I got annoyed too as it was people who never normally bother to get in touch, I replied, but not immediately, let them wait a bit! Didn't think about using up my text message allowance, good point, I'll be needing those soon!

yangymac no experience if spontaneous labour here either, and totally understand why you are reluctant to believe it, but those cx sound intense and close together.

Maybe wake your dh for moral support at least.

I really hope this is it for you.

Partyofsixsoontobeseven · 28/01/2010 07:54

Hi all

Sorry for my absence but have been a tad busy lol!!!

Baby girl Erin May Jones arrived on Tues 26th Jan at 18.22 weighing 8lb 13oz and is a little bruiser, all very happy and well and I will update with birth story later.

Good luck to any one labouring, and congratulations to everyone who has given birth while I've been away

mama2moo · 28/01/2010 08:45

yangymac Fingers crossed that was real labour, looking forward to an announcement from you

Congratulations to all of the new mums

Fibilou · 28/01/2010 08:45

No Yangy, nothing until next Tuesday when MW will try sweep and arrange induction
Totally resigned to induction now in 10 days time and have got to the point where I don't want to talk about birth/baby/anything related because I am so pissed off with waiting.

Fibilou · 28/01/2010 08:48

It doesn't help that all our family seem to have been on "birth alert" for about 2 weeks now so it seems to have been weeks since the due date.
Totally agree that giving a due date of 41 weeks would be far more realistic.

Biccy · 28/01/2010 10:16

Ooh yangy,really hope that was it kicked off properly for you last night.

Congratulations fifi and partyofseven (time for a name change I think! )

Fibi, we are due date buddies, and both still waiting, but actually 40 + 4 isn't that overdue really and I think it's still more likely that you'll go into labour spontaneously than not. My labour with dd1 started on 40 + 4, and in retrospect I find myself telling people she was 'pretty much on time'.

I'm doing the same though, I've started on the 'oh I expect I'll be induced end of next week' line with people. I'm trying to think of positives here, and am remembering how I missed my bump a bit once it was gone, so I'm trying to cuddle this one lots, and enjoy the extra tme we're getting as our own little private twosome.

here I go again, but it's full moon on Saturday, so I'm going to aim for that,then if nothing I have MW appt for Monday, so that will be my next 2 day milestone, and then I've heard that just being booked in for induction can be enough to spark something off, so...
