Hello folks,

40+12 today. Third pregnancy but first baby. We don’t know the gender. Five years in the making with iui, icsi, ivf and finally donated eggs and sperm. Looooong story.

Was all set for home birth despite being 41 and having GD but my very comfy baby is not interested in being evicted.

I was ok waiting- it’s been an easy pregnancy but we just don’t want to put baby at any risk. So here we are. Told to come in at 8am. 11am tried a sweep but I am sealed like an Egyptian tomb. Just back from curry and walk and waiting for pessary. Join me for the fun!??!

Well done you! He's beautiful. Hope you feel ok. Be very gentle with yourself. You've had five years waiting, 42 weeks waiting, 40 hours waiting, a lot of pain and a major op and now there's a new person on the planet who thinks you are there to meet their every need. And they're right.
It's a LOT to reckon with.

Congratulations on your baby boy! 🥰 40 hours... You absolute trooper. What time was he born and what did he weigh?

Hope all is going well @CloudyVanilla.
