Due on Friday

[Gabby786]

I'm due on Friday and still barely any signs!!!! Anyone else in the same boat?

Sounds promising crafty! Mine was a little back to back at my last appointment but I'm sure it's turned since then. Things change so quickly.
Hopefully won't be too long for you Gabby.
I'm 39+5 today and still no signs...

Her movements the past two nights have been crazy. I hope this means she's fighting her way out haha

Totally thought yesterday things were gonna get started, crazy movements too. Actually felt like he was gonna climb out down there at one point! Felt really really low too, but feels higher again.

Maybe this weekend!!

Let's hope so girl!!!!

Baby is out. Half of the head was out in the carpark as they sent me back for not being in established labour. 2 min after arriving home again the waters broke. Whoopsies. Glad I didnt care too much for a birth plan as this was all a little irregular

Wow congrats hungry!!

Congrats hungry - all sounds very dramatic! Did you have a boy or girl?

I am 39+5 and have come down with an absolutely horrific cold. I feel like I've been hit by a bus. Can't breathe properly, can't sleep, have a raging temperature and no voice. And to top it off, no symptoms of anything occurring whatsoever on the baby evac front.

Feeling a wee bit sorry for myself, I must confess!

It's a cute little boy. Can't stop staring at him. He had a good old poo in the amniotic fluid so have had to spend the night with him on the ward just as a precaution. At least one of my fellow ward inmates snores so am looking forward to going home!

Hope your baby makes an appearance soon squatter and that you're not feeling too rough then.

Ah, I hope you've made it home today with your lovely boy. I'm having a boy too- so excited to meet him.

Enjoy your first few weeks!

Congrats hungry!

Mildly jealous! Lol now 40+3 . . Currently doing a curry - let's hope some spice might smoke her out!

I'm 40 weeks today - come on baby! Still no signs of imminent labour from me...

We were discharged yesterday. All well. Absolute bliss to be at home in the peace and quiet.

Congratulations!!!

I'm currently two days late and nothing :-/

Think I had a tiny bit of my mucous plug come this evening, trying to not get too worked up about it... anything yet Gabby?

I hope it means something for you babe! And no nothing. I have a sweep on Thursday but I'm preparing myself I'm gonna end up being induced.

Ladies! I have the key!!

So in Sunday around 3.30, just about to go for dinner, table reserved, pulled up in car park, and having had silence most of day with partner - no reason other than I was 40+4 and the tea he made me in morning didn't taste like it had sugar in - so I sobbed.

Then my friend told me she was being induced on Halloween 2 weeks early -- so I sobbed some more!

Finally I decided Disney was needed to lift me up - except no one told me the long over waited 'up' starts in 10 minutes of complete emotional heartbreak and I sobbed some more!

Anyway, pulled up for dinner and it all just came out in the car "I can't do this anymore, I need her out, I can't cope, I feel so stupid' my OH did his best to console me and reassure and finally we go inside - placed our food orders - by 4pm - BOOM! Contractions started and continued until 4.32pm on Halloween when my little girl was born! Absolutely shocked, stunned, amazed. 24 hours to change your life! But clearly she was listening well to my sobs lol

Haha Dlah, I've been trying laughter but perhaps crying was the key!! Congrats!

Gabby, suddenly awake at 2am and more plug come out. Cramping and roasting hot - like when you first get your period. Really need to try to get back to sleep but it's really hard to switch of when you think things are happening!

Omg I know. Every little thing I think is a sign and my brain just can't seem to switch off at night. Why doesn't she want to come out????

Have you tried relaxation scripts/cds? Has been helping me get to sleep most nights and helps your mind focus on something other than what's in your mind. Not working for me now though when I think I need it most.

Guess some of these relaxation things and mild pain relief aids are good to conserve your strength for when you really need it later. Hope everyone's births go well!

I was getting proper period type cramps, eventually fell back asleep and they've gone. Arghhhhh!!!
