I’ve been awake since 1 with contractions every 6 minutes. Feeling pretty broken now. I no longer mind her having an xmas birthday I just want this to end and to meet her.

I'm due for a section between boxing day and NY. Hoping baby plays ball and stays put! Didn't sleep a wink last night because I was just feeling so anxious about going into labour and missing Christmas with DS.

Good luck to the rest of you!

@Lulublu that's good news for you! I hope the keep up and you have a lovely, smooth labour!

@user1494270143 did you get induced last night?

Penguin27 · 25/12/2017 10:41

That's so exciting lulublu! Good luck for the labour, hoping everything goes smoothly.

Merry Christmas to everyone and happy birthday to any Christmas babies!! Xmas Grin

Hannabee123 · 25/12/2017 10:55

Still quiet here. General aches and pains but nothing resembling labour.

Hannabee123 · 25/12/2017 15:16

Well I've had my Christmas dinner so no signs of labour yet. D day tomorrow :)

We have our Xmas baby. Born at 1050 this morning. She’s very lovely and we’re hoping to go home this evening. Hope everyone is having a good day.

Hannabee123 · 25/12/2017 17:13

Ooh congratulations! Christmas Baby! What have you called her?

Congratulations xx

Penguin27 · 25/12/2017 20:38

That's great news lulublu, congratulations!

ScotsLamb · 25/12/2017 22:31

@Lulublu congratulations. Enjoy lovely cuddles with your new baby girl. I hope you did get home xxx

Rach000 · 25/12/2017 23:06

Congratulations!! I have not had any signs of anything yet, would like to wait a couple more days. X

Rhynswynd · 26/12/2017 05:05

Congratulations on your Christmas baby.

My baby is still very comfortable. I might have a nice warm bath and start the nipple tweaking after dinner because I now have a cold and feel crap and want my baby out safe and sound.

Toasttea · 26/12/2017 07:36

My son was born yesterday. 2 days late he was so I had a xmas baby!

Lulublu · 26/12/2017 08:25

We did get out thank you. Not yet decided on a name. Lovely to be home. Thanks for all the good wishes and good luck to all of you.

user1500124076 · 26/12/2017 11:32

Congrats on the Christmas babies!!

I'm due today but not feeling anything yet. Pretty sure he's staying put a while. I'm off Boxing Day sale shopping, which might be a mistake - walking etc getting things going. I need him to chill until tomorrow at least so that I have secure and ideal childcare for my other son, otherwise he'll be spending hours sat alone in a hospital waiting room (the problem with living abroad away from family/friends -- childcare options are limited at the best of times, let alone over Christmas!). We'll see how it goes.

MadeForThis · 26/12/2017 23:04

Walking is a great idea. I went to the zoo the day before I gave birth to DD. Was great as lots of walking but never too far away from the car.
Beginning to worry about being induced now. Appt booked for 30th. Would prefer to go naturally.
Main concern is that baby is ok but don't want to be in hospital too long. Have never spent more than a work day away from DD.

Hannabee123 · 26/12/2017 23:53

I've been letting the dog take me for a walk around the local park but enjoying the peace at the moment. I'm a day overdue but plan on cooking a nice chicken dinner tomorrow :D

I will start to get fed up soon though I bet haha

Okay just been in due to blood pressure again - they have booked me in to be induced tomorrow and did a sweep- turns out I'm 3cm. Going home until things kick off or until tomorrow arrives. Not a Christmas baby but certainly unexpected!!

@Hannabee123 Ooh exciting! Any signs yet? I was due today, got to the point of strong contractions 3mins apart and they just stopped 😱 totally!!

Hannabee123 · 28/12/2017 03:54

No nothing yet just sore / passing loads of mucus after my sweep yesterday. Today is induction day I'm hoping if I can get to 3cm without noticing, she walks out without a single care in the world 😁😂

My 2nd was like that and really quick didn’t even have paracetamol. Fingers crossed yours goes the same way today🤞

Rach000 · 28/12/2017 20:42

I had my baby girl last night just after 8pm. So just 2 days early. All went well and we came home this morning. Hope everyone else are not waiting too long. Xx
