Anyone else 39+ weeks?

[Bobian123]

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!!

As soon as I posted that it started moving haha

It was my due date yesterday- nothing happening at all!

coney that was funny! Baby's already proving you wrong!

It was mine yesterday too. Fingers crossed something happens for us both soon.

Haha I know what a tinker!

Congratulations berry!!!!
Just been back to the hospital after phone call from community midwife this morning to get up there asap for my scan, Still no scan (No spaces)but exam showed 3cm and had another sweep. Still no real pain just very tight, midwives are now taking bets that I'll be back up there between 5-8 tonight!

Haha that's funny. Fingers crossed you are.

When do you get a scan then?! They don't seem too concerned which is good?!

Yeah, telling you that you need am emergency scan and then not giving it to you doesn't seem fair!

Sounds like you are on the count down though! Tick tock baby!

ahardman you are well on your way now surely! I was admitted first time round at 3cm and progressed pretty quickly after that. Fingers crossed same goes for you!

coney glad baby is wriggling again!

I just caught up with last nights don't tell the bride...did anyone else see it

Yes I did!! I have never cringed so much in my life Bobian

Awful! All that fuss for 12 guests...and don't get me started on the "entertainment". Frank spencer impersonation?!!

I literally couldn't watch that bit I covered my eyes and told my oh to mute it hah

Mine has started wriggling a bit more as well Coney. They do like to keep us on our toes :) The ice lolly helped I think...

Hello! I was swept this morning and I'm 4cm with a favourable cervix. Let's see what happens next!

Fingers crossed it won't be long pepperoni! Good luck :)

So jel pepperoni haha

Is anyone nervous? I am but I think the excitement outweighs the nervousness!

I thought if you were 4cm you were in active labour?!

Yes so did I! The midwife is coming back at the end of her shift as I'm a planned home birth, she wasn't 100% about leaving me after the sweep. I'm not contracting though (just feels like Brixton hicks)

Wow, everyone is cracking on! Good luck pepperoni!

My nerves probably still outweigh excitement a little bit coney but the balance to defo tipping to be more equal!

Yeah I'm with you dulcet if I think too much I totally freak out.

Keep us posted pepperoni!

Good luck pepperoni! I've been contracting for the last few hours but still not getting hopes up! If they increase in strength will go in and get seen.

I'm in the second stage of labour now and it's very painful! I'll keep you all updated

This is all v exciting! Congrats Berry and welcome Benjamin Arthur! I am due Sunday and am no further on. Only thing swept round here is the kitchen floor. Repeatedly.
But am belatedly realising that in South Africa (where I'm living but I'm not from here) what almost everyone does is to book an elective CS for their due date or the closest weekday. CS rates 80% +.
I hope to go natural and had booked an epidural but now thinking of cancelling that after reading someone else's thread on forceps and tears and misery. I fear I may be a substantial thorn in the side of the slice and dice medical team.

Ah I can't think about all that forcep malarkey or ill have a breakdown.
I'm still having the off twinge and the lovely cervix stabbing is back.

Good luck pepperoni very exciting

I had her at 8:23 and she's beautiful, gas and air for pain relief delivered Her in my lounge

Woo-hoo!

WELL DONE Pepperoni!!!im completely jealous I won't lie!enjoy you're new bundle of joy!!

Wow! Congrats pepperoni! Sounds like it went well.
