First Time Pregnancy (5)

Hey everyone. Had to make a new thread as we were nearing 1000!

Congratulations @NC1990 and well done she's gorgeous!

@NC1990 congratulations! Look at all that hair! 😍

Congratulations @NC1990 she is gorgeous! Your story sounds a lot like mine, I hope you’re feeling ok. I think I was genuinely shocked for a few days!

Congratulations @NC1990 She is gorgeous!

Congrats @NC1990 !! Beautiful little girl, hope you're doing well!

Congratulations @NC1990 sounds like you did an amazing job. Baby is beautiful.

Thanks all ☺️ It's very surreal but amazing. I was born with a head of hair just like her 😁

Still no baby for me! 40+4 now. I know it’s not that overdue but I’m really starting to panic she’s never coming out and I’m also terrified of things going wrong now. Keep dreaming I lose her.

Anyone got any reassurance...anyone else overdue...anyone know anyone overdue...etc??

@mrsjkerry lots of my NCT group are overdue. Baby will come when ready, just make lots of appointments, get your hair and nails done. If you've got plans and things to do you're bound to go into labour!

@mrsjkerry same here :( I've been trying to invoke Sod's law- put up the Christmas tree, dyed my hair, etc. Nothing.

Ive got another sweep tomorrow morning, but I have a feeling you'll beat me in the baby race :D

@mrsmjkerry forgot to ask- how many days over does your hospital induce? It's 40+10 here. It helps me to think that that's the latest I'll have to wait before I meet her ( give or take a few days) 😊

Walked 7km over the weekend. Sex three times! Swam for over an hour and a half. Nothing is shifting her 😄

I think you can get to 42 weeks here before they induce. 40+10 and id only have 6 days left!! 😬 hurry up honey baby

Still waiting here too @mrsjkerry. Baby is now fully engaged and the pressure is immense but apart from that, no signs that he’s on his way. Next Midwife appointment is next Monday (41+4) so 11 days overdue and I’ve already been warned by her that, that’s when the pressure is on to accept induction, which I really, really don’t want to do!

That’s why I’m accepting the sweep. If I have it now there’s more chance of labour before they start pressuring to induce...

I totally get what you mean about the pressure! Sometimes I can hardly stand up straight and hobble to the loo clutching my belly and hunched I’ve 😄

Here she is, after a 30 hour labour, our little baby was born at 5.03am this morning.
She had to be delivered by forceps in the end because she was back to back and we were both getting tired. Lost a lot of blood and am exhausted but we can't believe she's finally here, We are in love xx

Also, congrats @NC1990!!xx

squigglefish congratulations! (:

ah @squigglefish she's lush! Do you have a name yet?

Congratulations Squigglefish, 30 hours, you're a hero! She's adorable

Baby @Squigglefish is so squishable and cute! Well done with 30 hours of labour.
Hope you are doing well after losing so much blood.

@Squigglefish congratulations she is truly beautiful xx

Congratulations @squigglefish she is adorable!! 😗

@mrsjkerry sounds like you're doing everything possible to get bambino moving! 😂

She's gorgeous @Squigglefish! Congratulations and hope you're doing ok (I lost 2ltr of blood as well so feel your pain) x

Can I ask those who are lucky enough to have given birth recently- how has your body changed after birth? Have you still got a bump, etc?

@DarcyParty my bump went pretty much straight away - I've just got a little bit of a flabby stomach, I never put weight on anywhere else apart from bump though

@Squigglefish congratulations! She's gorgeous
