Overdue?

[Gabby786]

I'm now 40+6. Anyone else in the overdue camp???

Don't despair mine have come back thick and fast, still might drop off again but I hope that gives you some hope xxx

My waters broke at 5am! Starting to get contractions so I don't think it'll be long now! Eeekkk.

Good luck both, sending hugs your way xxx

Hope you're both doing ok!

Oooo have you had your babies yet?
Good luck n best wishes to you all.

Ladies I have a little princess!!!! My waters broke at 5 am this morning. Contratcted from about 7am till 11.30 and then 10 mins later she was out. Can't believe I pushed her out so fast!!! She's so perfect. It was like a carry on movie because one mine I was 2 cm and then next I was 10 looool

Congratulations!!!! Absolutely chuffed for you what have you called her?

Congratulations Gabby! Fantastic news xx

Oh you lucky thing! Congrats induction buddy. Im so happy for you! I'm still in labour. Had my pessary for the full 30 hours. Contracted the entire time getting much worse towards the end. Eventually decided 30 hours of labour was enough and I am now epiduraled up and currently 6cm. Don't regret a thing!!!

Oh no I can't believe it's taken so long for you! You must have been in pain you poor thing!!! Any progress?

I named her Alayna. She's 6lb 6. She's just incredible!!!!

kitten you poor thing, hope you're doing ok now

Gabby what a beautiful name! Congrats again

Lovely name Gabby.

Kitten, really hope things have progressed for you and baby is here very soon xx

Thanks ladies. I should be able to go home today.

And yes kitten I really hope you've had your bundle of joy by now!!!!

Just had another sweep at the drip in clinic to see if I could avoid induction tomorrow but apparently head is in the wrong place, resting on my pubic bone and my cervix is still way too high so looking like induction for me tomorrow! Hope I get the Gabby version!!

Congratulations Gabby! So glad it's all over for you now and you can enjoy your little girl :) What a gorgeous name by the way

Forgot to comment back to you the other day- I had a pessary that didn't work, (last sat evening) they then broke my waters Sun morning and then I had the drip- I went from 2 to 4 cm slowly then in half an hour 4-8 cm! They had to stop the oxytocin as it was too high and causing too many strong contractions in 10 minutes. Every time I had contractions her heart rate went low, so they did blood gases on her head and they came back too low so was whisked off to theatre straight away. Cord was wrapped around her neck 3 times!

But that was nearly a whole week ago! Time literally flies by.

5:30am gave birth to an absolutely beautiful baby girl. 9lb1 (thank god I had that epidural!!) she's just long though, not a chubster :) did it all by myself! I'm very proud of us! She is perfection. Thanks everyone for asking after me :) xxx

Well done kitten!! Congratulations

Oh well done Kitten! A day younger than mine! What have you called her? I'm glad you at least was able to have a natural birth rather then it go to c section.

Congratulations Kitten - well done xxx

Congratulations OP

Just wanted to say to any of you others on this thread, there's no such thing as not letting you go over so many days overdue. It's entirely up to you if you are induced or not, and it's for you to weigh up the risks and benefits of induction vs expectant management.

I'll bog off now as my DC are 6 and 4 (DD was 15 days over, so I do feel your pain!)

Congratulations Kitten :)

Ooh I haven't looked at this for ages, everyone MUST have their babies by now!! Gabby, We called our little girl Luna xx
