[MrsL2016]

Hey. Starting a new thread before the last one runs out. I will post a link to it in the old one so hopefully everyone can find it.

And a link to the old thread for anyone needing to catch up:

Place marking for the new thread! 😊

I’ve been watching this thread since the beginning but haven’t yet posted! It’s been really exciting to read about all the March babies already with us. Congratulations 🎉 to all and I hope you’re recovering well. I bet being with your baby is just amazing. My due day is today. Can’t concentrate on anything but symptom spotting. No signs yet - she must be very comfortable in there!

Welcome @raym! There are a few of us that are or have been due in the last few days, so you are far from alone with the symptom spotting. Let's hope we get a few more March babies before the week is out.

I have my fingers crossed for everyone! Due day limbo is no fun!

Hi @RayM welcome!

I'm currently 3 days over and desperately bouncing on my ball!!

It's MIL birthday today so I'm expecting the monster from inside to appear today 🙈

Hello all! Thanks for the new thread!

I’m 38+4 so well off starting yet I think but had midwife today and babies head is 3/5 engaged so progress there I suppose! I cannot wait to have this baby! Struggling with a very sore bump, pgp, Braxton Hicks and a head cold!

Good luck all those overdue ladies though!! X

Hello everyone

@blinkingeckmum sorry to hear your not fully recovered but yes I guess 6 days is still pretty early on hopefully not much longer for you.....can I just ask did you know beforehand she was back to back? I find myself getting worried about which way round my baby is..... he moves around quite a bit and I worry that he won’t settle into the right way but the wrong way iyswim?!

Your right @RayM due date limbo is no fun at all

Well I now have 3 dc.
Dc1 was also born b2b. I knew when labour started as all the pain was in my back.
Dc2 was not and the labour was easier.
Dc3 I didn't realise but when they examined me they found the waters bulging in a weird way and knew. I think she must have turned during labour.

@TheMrs04 thank you 🙂. Haha, you’d have to name the baby after your MIL in celebration of this!

If baby was a girl the name would certainly be in there as my mum and MIL have the same name 🙈 but it's a boy! 😂

Phew! 😂

Thanks @MrsL2016 for the new thread.

Thank you @HazyDays81 I'm trying to calm myself and will keep you updated

Good luck @Gweatherwax how exciting do let us know how it goes!

Thanks for the new thread. Good luck everyone!

Thanks @crapbags !

I'm in, I have a room to myself and first pessary is in - 24 hour one as cervix still not favourable. DH is away home and we'll both try get some sleep!

@gWeatherwax good luck for this evening and your induction x

Best of luck.

Good luck worth your induction. I am still sat here waiting getting lots of braxton hicks and bubble popping feelings in my bump. Can't walk for more than 5 mins without getting pains but no signs of labor. 40+3 now kids have gone there dads so hoping to go before Friday when I get them back. How is everyone else feeling. I don't even feel like I am going to go at all.

Hope all is well @Gweatherwax

@ragdolly81 I feel the same it’s like the more time that passes the less likely it feels that things are going to start:(

39+5 FTM and no sign whatsoever. Midwife app tomorrow and told to go for a sweep at midwife drop in on Friday if I want to. Anyone got any successful sweep stories?

P.s if I get one more “is he here yet” message I will scream

Similar here crapbags & ragdolly81 - had a few odd niggles & twinges but feel less like it’s happening than this time last week! Now 40+6.

TheMrs04 & MrsL2016 how are you both today?

GWeatherwax hope you managed to get some sleep & things kick off for you today!

Hollyxxxx I had a sweep with my second DS when I was a week over & had him the next day. Think it all depends on whether your cervix is ready tho. Yeah I know what you mean with the constant messages ‘any news yet?!’ Er nope I’m still pregnant!

The messages are so frustrating. My DM and MIL are texting every day now. How many ways can you ask and answer the same question? I have had a few contractions this morning but they are very mild. Going to try and keep active this morning and hope they ramp up a bit. But I wouldn't be surprised if they eased off altogether. DH is a bit disappointed he has to go to work haha.

I hope the induction is going okay @gweatherwax

@GWeatherwax I hope all is going well for you!

I’ve got a sweep booked in for today too so I’ll have to wait and see if that does anything.

Gahh yes the constant ‘oh so your still pregnant’ comments and well meaning ‘any news?’ Texts driving me crazy!!

This is definitely my last pregnancy but if it wasn’t I’d seriously think I about extending my due date when telling people next time to give myself some time to avoid it!
