38 weeks

[Gabby786]

I'm 38 weeks tomorrow and becoming very impatient to meet my little girl. Anyone else at the same gestation as I am?

Nothing yet ... 39w today - I've changed my expectation for her to arrive on due date next week otherwise I'll go mad!

I'm due in THREE days

I may boil my head

Nothing here either.
I've had some "signs" (according to Dr Google), but I'm not hoping for much just yet.
I'm getting some pretty tasty period-type cramps in my lower back, but nothing else to indicate baby is imminent

Ah eggy just remember sometimes there are no signs!

Afresh true that....especially with second babies!
I think I'm just on edge looking for things because I didn't go into spontaneous labour last time - my waters broke at 38 weeks and I had to be induced because labour didn't start on its own within 24 hrs

I had slow stop-start labour with DC1+2

No signs at all with 3, easiest quickest loveliest birth ever

And now with this one I'm back on bloody three days of is this it? Funnily enough DC3 is the only girl

If you go full term with your first are you more likely to with your second? I went into labour naturally on my due date with DS1. I'm thinking I may be being a bit optimistic thinking I might go early this time

DC2 was earlier than DC1

DC3 was later than both of them

DC4 is looking latest of all....

Being induced now due to lack of movement. Bring on the pessary

Lola I read an interesting article about a study done in America, and it suggested that each woman has her own individual gestation period which is somewhere around 40 weeks, but can differ from woman to woman. They found that women having subsequent babies, gave birth round about the same gestation as their first baby.....I'll try and find the link. They also thought their might be a correlation between your metabolism and your gestation period - was an interesting read!

Good luck my proper tea!

tea good luck!!

bread would definitely be interested in having a read of that!

good luck mypropertea!!!

Nothing has happened so far...

Ah that's rubbish

My contractions have died off I think but having more bloody show

So boring

Trying to work out if it is bloody show or trickling blood tinged waters as not very mucousy

Hope things get going for you soon propertea!
I didn't think there was anywhere left for my baby to drop into.... but over the past few hours he seems to have dropped even further down, lots of pressure, and everything feels very "bulgy" down there

Small amount of manageable pain- woo hooo!

You don't have to have a proper show, mine has been a slow slimy leek over the last 2 weeks (ewe)

I had a baby!

Congratulations!

aww well done and congratulations propertea!!!

Congratulations Tea!!

Congrats propertea!!!

no movement here... 39+1

Congrats tea

I've had lots of show over night and the odd contraction

Now back on contraction every 10 min but stronger ones

I'm gonna phone up and see if I can get checked out
