I'm due on Sunday and thought it'd be nice to see if anyone else is due soon?

How are you all feeling? This will be my second and we've been told it's a girl. If anyone's around and fancies a moan chat about this last stretch, step forward!!

Oh OK...good luck for tomorrow then!!
Yes it is awful being overdue. The first gel went in and now got really painful cramps but I'm sure this is nothing to how they will be...! 2nd gel goes in at 8pm!! So fed up now!

NKfell · 22/07/2015 17:55

It's just all the waiting- so much waiting! I'm not looking forward to tomorrow, I have a feeling it will be a long day.

I really hope your baby hurries himself along, I really do x

Hi.

I had a little boy yesterday at 18:05pm by emergency c section. Arthur Bowan Whalley 9lb 12oz.

I'll post the birth story when everyone is no longer pregnant. He's amazing.

How we getting on clara?

Anyone else 39+ weeks?

LostSoulsForever · 23/07/2015 06:28

Hello ladies

Just thought I would let you know I gave birth to a beautiful & healthy baby girl at 8:40pm on Monday. All happened a bit unexpectedly & OH ended up delivering her on our kitchen floor.

Hope you are all doing well & the inductions are making good progress. x

Bobian123 · 23/07/2015 07:14

Congratulations coney, he's gorgeous! So glad he's finally here. Hope you are ok though

Lostsouls-wow!!! That's quite a story, was it all ok?? Did paramedics reach you shortly after? Congratulations to you too!

OP posts:

LittleMiss77 · 23/07/2015 07:35

congratulations Coney and Lost - hope everyone are ok and doing well

clarabell4680 · 23/07/2015 09:47

Wow!! Congratulations Coney and LS.... !! So glad all OK! I'm still here...been in labour since 2pm!! Finally have epidural! Now more waiting...it's been tough and I am shattered!

LostSoulsForever · 23/07/2015 13:04

Ah, pleased you have had the epidural Clarabel. Stay strong - the end is in sight :)
Thankfully the birth was really quick & straightforward Bobian, dread to think how it could have been had there been complications. The paramedics arrived 7 mins after the baby did, and the midwife about 10 mins after the paramedics so they were there to sort the cord & placenta etc. All's well that ends well :)

Bobian123 · 23/07/2015 14:16

Well done lostsouls!! I was really worried I'd have a super fast home birth but it sounds like it all went well!

OP posts:

Ahardmanisgoodtofind · 23/07/2015 15:08

Wow lostsouls, sounds very dramatic!Congratulations though,and to you Coney--finally here!can't wait to hear the birth stories

LostSoulsForever · 23/07/2015 18:30

And Coney - congratulations! Well worth the wait though :)

laura825 · 23/07/2015 23:05

I also gave birth today at 7.02 to my beautiful baby girl weighing 8lbs 9oz! I ended up going into labour naturally on Tuesday about11pm but was still given the induction pessary! My birth story is really horrific, I will post once it managed some sleep, haven't slept since Monday eve!

Massive congratulations to everyone that has given birth! We should all be very proud and I for one did not expect it to be what it was!

Ahardmanisgoodtofind · 23/07/2015 23:24

Congratulations Laura-get as much rest as possible and enjoy your baby girl!!

Bobian123 · 24/07/2015 06:39

Congratulations Laura! Sorry you had a horrible time of it.

OP posts:

coneywonder · 24/07/2015 08:45

Laura I got a debrief and offered counselling which I'm seriously considering. The debrief helped me understand what happened. I also have slept since monday and feel like I'm loosing the plot a bit!

Bobian123 · 24/07/2015 09:26

Coney-I would take the counselling if you can. I ended up going over my first birth far too much in my head and it impacted the first few weeks with my son a bit. Had a session before baby 2 arrived and it really helped x

clarabell4680 · 24/07/2015 18:56

Hello all...finally had my gorgeous little boy at 11.41pm yesterday 8lbs 6oz.. Traumatic birth story so won't fill you in on full details but ended up rushed to theatre for emergency forceps birth. Lost a lot of blood so still in hospital and same as you Coney...I havent slept for 3 days...shattered...x

Bobian123 · 24/07/2015 21:01

Congratulations Clarabell! Does he have a name? Sorry you've had a traumatic time of it, hope you manage to get some rest soon x

OP posts:

Ahardmanisgoodtofind · 24/07/2015 23:12

Congrats Clarabell!hope you're getting some rest!!

coneywonder · 25/07/2015 09:09

Clara why has this been so such a similar experience for us? Congratulations.

Look it's all over now and we have our boys. Rest if you can whilst your at hospital. Imhome now and had about 3 hours last night which has made and difference.

clarabell4680 · 27/07/2015 05:25

Ha ha Coney I know...so similar. We'll have to discuss our birth stories one day. I'm too traumatised by mine still...can't talk about it without crying! Just so glad he's OK that's the main thing!
Having such a bad night with him tonight...think it might be colic he has been screaming place down on and off for since 10pm....literally had no sleep. I feel pants, got swollen feet, and still very anemic... So just shattered! But all to be expected I suppose .

How are you all getting on?? X

LittleMiss77 · 27/07/2015 13:51

ah! the swollen feet... no one told me about that. i looked down when we got home and thought WTF?!..

We are struggling to BF, so im expressing and topping up with formula where needed as hes so hungry, i cant keep up. all i feel like im doing is feeding, washing/sterilising and pumping... I need to sleep but cant find the time .

Apart from that - its great!

Hey littlemiss...glad you're getting on OK... I am too except baby Oscar has decided he is nocturnal and last 2 nights has just stayed awake all night...last night screaming a bit, tonight just won't settle in his crib! & is cluster feeding but only at night! So frustrating. Got to sleep at 7am this morning for 4 hours.
How's it all going for all of you? X

NKfell · 03/08/2015 20:30

Congrats everybody! Just a quick message to say baby Dominic arrived on 25 July at 2:20am 8lbs 10oz... and then my 2 year old got chicken pox- she's never been one to be upstaged!

coneywonder · 03/08/2015 20:54

Hi everyone.

Congrats NK. Gorgeous name.

I really struggled the first week then we discovered arthur had a tongue tie which is why I was so sore. I decided to start formula as on day 8 my milk still hadn't come in. I think I'm slowly starting to feel a bit more human!

clara I had flashbacks and nightmares that have only really recently stopped about the labour. Have you asked for a debrief?
