Anyone else due this week WAITING & keen to get going ?!!

[Artyparty]

I'm due Christmas Day; saw the MW on Friday who said head was eng and cervix favourable. She did a sweep to help matters along (early, due to borderline age- I'm 39).
She predicted it would be before Xmas & I've had the show over the last few days. Had cramps on Monday & thought it was kicking off but nothing since. I got my hopes up
Now in weird parallel universe of anticipation!!
Anyone else waiting it out?

DD
Congrats and well done... It was a long one but so worth it to have your bundle with you now. It's an experience but a great one ... Rest up and enjoy..

Molly
Ill prob find out tomor as to when I'll be brought in. I'm really hoping I will go myself. Glad to hear he is on move again, my lady is the same well a box of choc would also help!!!!

I empathise mollys & 3peas
It's tough waiting it out. I'm glad that I took it easy this time & just had loads of baths, watched DVDs and had a lot of sleep (as much as you can with a toddler) instead of rushing about trying to induce labour as I did last time (pineapple/rasp leaf tea/ curry /long long walks etc....I was exhausted by the time my waters broke).
Here's hoping you don't have too much longer & be kind to yourselves while you wait xxx

Just refreshed the thread.... Ahhhh cobgrats dirty... A gorgeous little boy!! Wow you worked hard for him..
Well done xxx
So 2 boys and a girl so far.... Who's next???

And my lady has arrived.. Started at 9am and she arrived at 1 pm.. Fast and furious but so glad it's all over.. Will update as soon as I get a chance.

DD- congratulations!!! Sounds like u had quite a time of it so well done!

I think it's finally happening folks! Didn't get to sleep until 3.30am this morning and have been up since 7.30am with pains every 15mins!! Just hoping they continue! Keep everything crossed for me!

Any news mollys???
Ladies-I'm going to start a new thread called christmas babies in 'being a parent' if anyone wants to join me.
Thanks for the company over the past few weeks

Just popped in to see if there are any more arrivals?

Hi girls,

Sorry for the lack of reply!

Baby Arran was born on Friday at 3.07pm weighing a hefty 9lbs!

It was pretty traumatic so im glad it's over! Went in early hours fri morning and was only 3cms, got given gas and air, they examined me again at 8am after my waters broke and I was still the same so they started me on the induction drip, pain got intense pretty quick so had diamorphine coped well for a while then ended up with a epidural (not what I'd planned at all but hey!) started pushing at 2pm and he arrived at 3.07pm.

Next thing I know, there was a lot of bother trying to get the placenta to come away so they were massaging my tummy REALLY HARD, got the doctor in to see if he could do it but he couldn't, next thing u know there's a full crash team in the room, I didn't know at the time but at the time when they managed to get the placenta away, a MASSIVE blood clot followed. Turns out I had a PPH. Then once that had all been sorted had to have the doctor stitch me up as I had a 3deg tear.

So pretty traumatic but I'm over the moon he's here!

Gosh that sounds traumatic! But yay congratulations on the arrival of your baby boy!! You must be so relieved he is finally here

And DD And 3peas congratulations on your little ones too I am so pleased we all finally made it! ( molly was the last one right?!)

It was a pleasure to have you ladies around during those awful 2 last weeks of pregnancy, you definitely made things much easier.

SO glad I am not pregnant anymore I bet you all feel the same!

Dd ill check out your new thread

Take care and enjoy the joys of motherhood

Great news mollys
So sorry it was traumatic; take care of yourself
So ladies; onwards & upwards:
