I'm due on the 16th. Had stop-start contractions for over a week now. Have also had a show. No bloomin baby though, and it's dc4, so you'd think my body'd know how to get it out by now!

Hannah1890 · 04/01/2011 14:46

Hi, Im due on the 9th, stop start contractions over the weekend and alot of period like pains but apart from that still waiting, cant wait now though. how about you angie have you experienced any signs yet?

hackneyzoo · 04/01/2011 14:59

I'm due with DC3 on the 9th too. I have had period pains on and off since last friday, BH getting stronger, but infrequent and not in a regular pattern and on and off back ache.
Am getting a bit impatient now and have definitely had enough of being pregnant!
Good luck everyone.

hi, i was due yesterday with my 1st baby(boy). had a sweep this morning,not as bad as i thought it would be. midwife said that hes as low as he can be and she could of broke my waters. i feel a little discomfort but no contractions yet. good luck ladies

babyduesoon · 04/01/2011 15:28

I'm due on the 12th, and NOTHING yet, not even a measly Braxton-Hicks. Are first ones normally late, does any one know?

hackneyzoo · 04/01/2011 16:24

Hey babyduesoon, I had no build up with DC1, just started having contractions and she was born the day before her due date.

Beebee that sounds promising!

Hi all,

I was due on the 2nd but nothing yet! Lost my mucus plug on New Years Day and hoped it would mean something might happen soon but I'm still waiting...

I really hope he arrives soon as I'm really fed up now, having shooting pains up one leg which is making walking around really uncomfortable, so I feel like I'm under house arrest.

I've tried curries, pineapple, sex, walking, etc but none of them have worked yet.

Patience everyone, we'll have our beautiful babies here soon .

Good luck to all of those who are due very soon! I'm due on 30th- anyone else due later in the month- I'm fed up already and have much longer to wait than any of you!

ursulabear · 06/01/2011 01:48

HI Sara, I'm due the 28th with baby no.1. I don't have any signs yet of baby making an appearance, had midwife on tues and she says bub is head down but not engaged yet, but many say that may not happen until actual labour. My groin area is generally sore, especially when going from lying to standing, MW says this is softening and very normal...doesn't help when your trying to get on with normal life. What about you, any signs?

I am later in the month Sarat - I am the 25th. I have aches down there but that's about it. Second baby, first was 10 days late but hoping it won't the same this time.

sarjose · 06/01/2011 22:21

beebee1978 · 07/01/2011 11:16

I was due on the 3rd had sweep on Tuesday got another booked for Tuesday. I been rushing around trying to speed things along but apart from a few twinges nothing. I think these babies of ours will arrive in there own time.
