Due today

[GlitterSparkles17]

So today is my due date, so far no signs of baby making an appearance. I’m just wondering what happens if I don’t go into labour?
I have a s&s booked with my midwife on Monday but if that doesn’t work, what next? Will my midwife book me in for an induction?

This is my 3rd baby but my previous two started labour on their due dates so I have no experience if I end up going over due!

Ah congrats

I had a feeling you may be busy....congratulations Glitter that’s fantastic news x

Yay!!! Congratulations @GlitterSparkles17!! Super happy for you and I'm sure the wait has been worth it 😊 Enjoy getting to know your little one xxx

Baby boy born 9.30am, forceps assisted delivery, weight 8lb6 we're over the moon!

Wow congratulations also....who else is left lol xx

Just you and me by the looks @Smith7! 😂

Congratulations @Bumdishcloths! Xx

No pressure lol x

I was due on the 8th and still waiting so I'm here too! Congratulations everyone who's had their babies. Very jealous! I think I'm going to be pregnant forever.

Thank you 😊 and congrats bumdishcloths Friday the 13th of all days!! Home now and really looking forward to recovering and feeling myself again, baby is very sleepy keep having to wake him for milk!

Good luck everyone else not long to go 🤞🏻

Hi krakentoast welcome....that’s how we feel I thought something might have been happening, but false alarm have come to bed instead. X

Hiya @krakentoast, think I remember you from the October antenatal thread but might have made that up!! 🙈 Fingers crossed you see some movement soon!

I've got period-y aches (not contractions!), spent nearly an hour sobbing uncontrollably earlier and think I've lost a little bit of mucus plug in the last half an hour. Husband looks hopeful and excited but I've said until my waters dramatically go or I genuinely have contractions that increase in strength I'm not taking anything as a sign of progress! I've fallen for this too many times already in the last fortnight!!

Yes I was on the October thread a while back but couldn't keep up!

I'm symptom-spotting like mad and have been feeling very tearful and cross. It really does make your brain feel broken, all this waiting. I've had very mild period cramps on and off for two weeks now and nothing to show for it!

Same Kraken, I feel really jealous of my friends who went just before or like a day after their due date and literally just went into labour, no fuss! Five weeks ago I was told I'd have to stay in hospital for the rest of pregnancy and have a c sec at 39 weeks (which don't get me wrong, I'm grateful not to have turned out to be the case but I'd adjusted and accepted meeting our baby at 39 weeks)... fast forward and I've had several false starts since 39.5 weeks but no baby! In calmer moments I keep reminding myself that I can't stay pregnant forever... We will have our babies eventually!! 😂

How are you doing ladies? Any babies yet?

No!! 😂😂😂 Still no baby!! I'm down for induction tomorrow and having felt very torn about whether to accept or wait it out a bit I think I might end up accepting (happy to give pessary a go; not so sold on this drip malarkey). Literally so fed up of the constant daily messages and the 'helpful' comments of "have you tried this...?" "My friend swore by doing this..." "No-one sticks to their birth plans anyway"- this last one seems to actually come more from people who got to stick to their birth plans! 🙈

How's your little one Glitter? Must be a week old tomorrow? X

(But is it wrong that even though I'm definitely preparing myself for dreaded induction I keep reminding myself of all the babies I know of who conveniently decided to come the day before their scheduled induction/c sec.... live in hope!!

Well that’s exciting that you could possibly meet your baby tomorrow!! I was induced by pessary with my second baby and it worked straight away baby was out within 6 hours so fingers crossed for you!!

Yes he’s a week old tomorrow and it’s just flown! He’s doing really well I’m so in love with him!

That's definitely what I needed to hear Glitter! I know it's a bit different with first and second child but that's my main fear of induction- that it might take days to get anywhere! So glad you're enjoying time with your little one xx

Hi All.....sorry forgot to message I had my little boy on Sunday after a sweep,
I was in labour 1hr thankfully at home....husband thought he was going to have to deliver lol. Totally in love a complete little dream. Hope your all well, good luck for your induction fingers crossed something happens in the night xx

Congratulations x

Congratulations Smith7
