[lmx0]

@Embracethechaos good thinking but i cant see the attraction!!!! Even the texture of them when babies have them plastered everywhere 🤢

@Brettgirl congratulations he looks absolutely perfect!!! 💙 hope you're all doing well now you're getting closer . Still 15 weeks to go for me :( xxx

Just a waiting game now for me hopefully the weeks will fly by for you!!

4 weeks to go for me. I'm so excited! Mat leave starting on Friday ☺. How are we all doing ladies?? Xx

I bet you cant wait!! Im good thanks just tired and a bit sore and counting down the days now!! How are you?

Same and it's so hard in this heat! How long have you got @lmx0 ? Xx

The heat is awful however its a little cooler here which is great!! Im due on Thursday!! Scary!!

OMG! So exciting! Do you think it will come on time? It's too hot in Surrey. We haven't had any rain in 2 months here.. Dying! X

We've had some rain this past week thankfully no ill prob go over 😞 however i do think things may starting to progress as i was having alot of BH and pains yesterday and the fanny daggers ouch!! But nothing today

Eek. I've been having sharp pains in my foof! But no bh.. What do the sharp pains mean??! X

I don't really know but from what ive read on here it could just be babys head pushing down into place?

That makes sense. My baby was 3/5 engaged at my last mw appointment (last Monday). Xx

Just an update ladies im booked in for induction tomorrow at 40+2 due to baby not growing very much in the last 2 weeks had a sweep today (ouch) and i am having regularish (im not really timing) tightenings with alot of back pain which started last night but they eased off so hopefully the sweep is pushing them along

Oh no poor you! But I bet youre glad that it's on its way. I really hope it's quick for you tomorrow. Let us know how you get on! I bet you can't wait to meet little one now xx

Its not what i would have like in fact i really wanted to avoid induction but what can you do needs must and at least i now know when instead of this waiting business!! Hoping the pessary will work and ill still get my water birth in the birthing centre but ill take what comes

I know. I really hope you do too. I would really like a water birth too. Fingers crossed. But whatever happens, you will get a beautiful baby at the end of it xx

Thats all we can ask for isnt it how long have you left now?

3 weeks on Monday. Finished work today!

Ohh i bet you are glad to be finished!!! Any plans for your mat leave?

@lmx0 yes hoping to get the baby clothes organised and nursery set up. I need to do some cooking for freezer now I have the time too!
How are you getting on? I'm guessing your beautiful baby has arrived?? Tell us all!! Xxx

Amelia Rose born this morning at 6.51am weighing 7lb14oz via emcs i had a very long weekend and rough labour i was inducted on Saturday at 7.30pm had to wait 24 hours (which was very long!) had to wait for a bed in labour/delivery which took forever as labouring ladies got beds first so went down just before 12 on Monday had my waters broken (OUCH!) then the drip went up the start was fine i was able to breathe through each contraction even read a mag!! By 4 i was in a active labour however when examined at 8 i hadn't dilated very much 3/4cm and i was 2 when i arrived contractions where getting really unbearable at this point so i opted for remmiephantal (not sure how u spell it) which was good only thing was with the gas and air i felt out if it since my contractions where so close in the end i was really struggling so got the epidural which was also very good however i bad pressure down below (felt like i needed a massive poo) so eventually when i got checked i had went from dilating very slowly so very quickly so came to pushing but little miss would not move down so off for possible forceps delivery however when i got examined the doctor they decided it was a no go and section it was they discovered during the section missy was facing back to back and thats why she would not move! I was glad to have the section in the end as i was exhausted from 1 and a half hours of pushing please don't let my story scare any of you yes it was hard but its over and ive got my little woman 😍

@lmxo congratulations! Beautiful name!

@Brettgirl thank you how are you?

@lmx0 wow what a birth! But you have her now! And as @brettgirl says beautiful name :).
I lost my plug today and am getting period pains, hopefully that is a sign of things to come! X

@Noonaylor thank you ohh fingers crossed things are happening for you!!!

Thank you. They seem to come in waves, it's like a dull ache and then every 6-10 mins I have a period pain for about 20secs. So not sure whether it's braxton or whether it's the start of something! X
