38 weeks. 3rd child. in denial!

[Frecklesandspecs]

This pregnancy has been fine but I am only just starting to realise that in the next 2 weeks ill be giving birth again and have another baby! I've been really busy with the other two (just 4 and 2) and have swept it to the back of my mind. Hospital bag is kind of packed. Dh is hoping it comes tomorrow so he can have a few days off work! But I am still in limbo!

Last labour was quick. I'm worried this Will be quicker. I'm so not prepared!

Mums of 3+ reassure me I Will survive and tell me how your third labour panned out!

Sorry for typos

Hi I'm mum to 4, 27+4 with dc5 and like you I have fast labours, my third was surprisingly fast and easy. Woke up at 5:30 with strong pains rang dad to come look after kids, he got here for 6:20 headed to hospital got there for 7 and gave birth at 7:27, at that time my other dc were 1 and 2 and I managed fine, if I can do it any one can x

hey I have 3DC and I am 38 weeks with number 4. with 3rd I was induced at 39 weeks due to health problems got pessery at 12 labour kicked in at 5.30pm and baby was born at 9pm. I was 7cm when waters broke and she was born 11 mins later. Have been told this time that things r gonna happen super quick as I am already 2cm and totally enfaced so when it does happen baby will be born very quick. they are calling me a walking time bomb. I understand how you feel about being in denial I have a 7year 5year and 1 year old and haven't had a min to think of baby coming. I still cant believe im having a baby. 3 dc is hard work but you will manage you are already a multitasking mum of 2 so you will be fine just take all the help you can get for the first few weeks to recover from birth.

hope all goes well :)

Thankyou both;-)
My mum is coming to stay from next week to look after the dcs if I go so hoping we hold on until then, Otherwise Dh Will be looking after dcs and me being dropped at the door:-(
did you have any prelabour signs before contractions?
Yikes we are getting close!
Good luck to you too!

I had nothing at all, mucus plug went about 2 days before but that is it really. Fingers crossed for it happening while your mum's there. X
