I'm 39+4 today with no 2. No idea on gender. Very excited but nothing really happening.

Just keep feeling baby hiccups and feel like I need a poo every now and again

I'm due Friday with no 2. :) Had a few mild cramps in the evenings now but apart from that nothing. Was the same with DD - nothing until I lost my plug and went into labour later that day. Was 11 days over with DD so fully expecting to go over again even though everyone seems to think I'll go any day now as I'm so massive. Will find out soon enough I suppose! Feeling much better this time round though - had terrible spd with DD in the last few weeks. :)

Exciting.

I had terrible cramps yesterday and the horrors of labour came flooding back and I got really panicky. I had a bath and everything stopped!

I'm 39 weeks with dc2 (and a 2yo!) and so miserable... I have a 97th centile baby with a lot of fluid... I am massive, exhausted and in so much pain struggling to walk and move around... also not getting on with Daddy... hospital in the morning for a growth scan and sweep to hopefully move things along... been crying a lot today...

Hope things happen for you soon.

I also have a DD at 2.5

I'm struggling walking too far just now too - my back is killing me with the weight of baby and all the fluid. DD is 2 next month and although a great wee walker tends not to want to go where I do at times so I've been stuck in the house a lot more than I'd like (pushing the buggy kills my back so that's not an option).

I had a growth scan about six weeks ago and baby was 95th percentile. Was told if she was a few points more I'd be referred to the consultant but am still just under my midwife atm. Am seeing her tomorrow and going to see about a sweep and also what plans are if I go over as I'm worried about the implications of letting an already big baby brew for another week or two. I'm terrified of needing a section and struggling to look after DD and a newborn while I recover.

I'm 38+4 with dc2, so not far beyond you - getting more tired now, have a 2 yo DD but she goes to nursery which has given me some time to rest etc - wondering when this one will turn up, was bang on time with DD...feel like I haven't really had time to think about this pregnancy and still haven't grasped idea I'll be a mum of 2 very shortly! Starting to feel anxious about the labour/birth too...Confused

Ps hope things get moving for everyone soon - also feeling a little teary/emotional and grumpy with DH, sigh!

I've been having waves of pressure in my bum since 4am. No pain but it's uncomfortable. Anyone else had this?

Im 40 weeks today ......absolutely no sign of anything happening anytime soon!!!!

lauraa4 · 23/09/2015 17:25

I'm also 40 weeks today. I had my third sweep today, the other two were on Monday and last Thursday. Baby definitely doesn't want to go anywhere!

I thought something was happening Monday night when I had back and period type pain but all stopped within 3 hours and hasn't returned.

Giraffe5 · 23/09/2015 17:40

I've had pressure regularly on my bum hole. What's that??
